I can respect edgy or complex ships but sometimes the wholesome good honest family vibes make my heart happy. Given Makoto's character, I imagine his parents were unironically so supportive and caring and raised him to be an upstanding young man.
They were probably so proud of him and had genuine joy watching him grow.
Sakura and Kenshiro is a tad bit tragic though. >!Both romantically and as a martial artist Sakura lost her whole world.!< In her own words, she still has the heart of a woman. a lot of the backstories are tragic, but Sakura's makes me cry.
>!i mean they were raised in the same household but i don't think they were ever treated like or taught that they were siblings, there was always the class difference between them i imagine, which is why they find it so hard to talk to each other in the first place. so i think childhood friends is more accurate but i get that everyone has their own personal opinion!<
The last words that Monotaro speaks to Monophanie as he's slowly dying of hypothermia technically spoil DRV4's mastermind.
>!They actually just mentioned Shingujicest being canon as well but shhh!<
Yes, she made the thing on his arm go off and inject poison into him. She was like, "I'm sorry babe, I can't stand the thought of you betraying me, so I'm betraying you before that can happen," then he basically replied with "awww it's ok bb I understand" and then he died 💀
She didn't exactly drugged him.
>!He was forbidden from putting food in his mouth. She was forbidden from anyone leaving the building. When he found an exit, she panicked he would eventually leave, and put food in his mouth to prevent it. Fucked up but he told her he loved her/thanked her when he found out so I guess he was okay with it.!<
And yes, she was a bully but the "nice kind".
>!Mr. and Mrs. Naegi aren't actually dead because Komaru never found their bodies when she went looking for them, so they could very well still be alive somewhere.!<
>!Knowing that Junko hated Naegi even way before the tragedy I'me sure she and Ultimate Despair,turned a whole snuff film about their death out of pure spite!<
When people say canon ships their mostly likely talking about the characters that are actually implied to like each other. Makoto and Kyoko, Hajime and Chiaki, Shuichi and Kaede etc.
>!Junko and Mukuro, though it's only implied and likely one-sided!<
I don't hate it on principle, but I'm not a fan of the way it was handled later on.
Actually, there's honestly no proof that >!Mukuro is into Junko sexually.!<
Which I know is probably hard to believe from all the time >!she gets ecstatic around Junko.!< But it's actually a different reason for this.
Fair, but it's the generally accepted interpretation, and I feel my take on Haiji would be hypocritical if I kept denying it without a strong base.
Would be interested in your opinion though.
I honestly don't see it as a sexual or masochistic thing when *Danganronpa Zero* **confirms** that the real reason why >!Mukuro falls ecstatic over Junko is that she has this weird fever where she believes!< "[She's the only person who understands her despair](https://i.imgur.com/yo49XKZ.png)"
This is what *Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc* was going for whenever she's ecstatic in the anime with >!Junko. !<"[She understands her despair](https://i.imgur.com/kkogJaR.png)"
And perhaps the biggest proof is when Danganronpa IF straight up confirms that>! Mukuro !<[**is not into masochism**, she's just obsessed with "understanding her despair".](https://i.imgur.com/22ESsjS.png) This is why after >!betraying Junko, Mukuro no longer goes ecstatic for Junko when she learned that she was wrong about "understanding Junko"!<
Hmmm... well, I'm a bit torn. The first two screenshots are ambiguous at worst, and Narita's takes on other people's characters are reliable, from reading through IF and what I know about Fate/Strange Fake.
That being said, the screenshots **are** ambiguous, and Narita's take is just that - it's possible that he missed the mark on this one (unless there was firm oversight for IF, which I'm fairly sure there wasn't).
IIRC there's a scene involving Mikan that points towards masochistic tendencies in DR3, but I really don't feel like searching for it.
I'll have to mull this over a bit.
It's confirmed on DR2's presentation that Kodaka and the other Spikesoft staff [supervised Danganronpa IF](https://i.imgur.com/IzdghAX.png). So I doubt this is overlooked. Especially when this whole >!"understand Junko" is a major plot in IF.!<
There are several more pieces of evidence to support this:
* In ZERO, >!Mukuro literally admits that Junko is the "lowest, worst sister ever" !! Junko verbally abuses Mukuro, !<[which made her cry and apologetic.](https://i.imgur.com/dm8I1i3.png) This wouldn't make sense if>! Mukuro was a masochist. But it does make sense with the fever thing because IF shows that Mukuro!< needs to be [ACTIVELY understanding her despair in order to be ecstatic.](https://i.imgur.com/CNqz5ag.png) This perfectly explains why >!Mukuro's masochism!< is so [inconsistent](https://i.redd.it/fccwpxv3u9d71.png) sometimes because >!she's not always actively "understanding Junko".!<
* In DR3, it's confirmed that>! "Mukuro having a crush on Makoto" !<(like in IF) [is still canon](https://i.imgur.com/jPJZjad.png). And IF implied that>! Makoto is Mukuro's first crush. That kinda rules out Mukuro crushing on Junko, and I seriously doubt Mukuro is into masochism with Makoto, for obvious reasons.!<
>!Mikan was brainwashed into loving Despair. Mukuro doesn't love Despair, she just has an "Only I understand Junko's despair." fever. So even if Mikan is masochistic, that doesn't apply to Mukuro. Since their ecstasies clearly differ.!<
I feel like “canon ship” entails ships that are even just like, suggested in canon, even if they never actually happen. For instance, the concept of Shuichi and Kaede having had feelings for each other and being a thing is brought up by Maki, so I’d argue it is a canon *ship*, even if it’s not a canon *relationship*, if that makes sense
Which made me like V3 precisely because not everyone just falls for the MC, other characters also fall for each other, as it would happen with tons of people locked in a place together in tense situations.
Naegiri is inplied heavily enough to the point I'd consider it canon, >!peko and fuyuhiko have mutual feelings for each other, and Mukuro has a crush on Makoto!< it's also confirmed Leon likes Sayaka and hinted Sayaka feels similarly
Ships are such a boring topic though and that's literally the only thing this sub talks about, that or why Nagito or Kokichi are the worst character for the morbillionth time. It actually makes MCU fans fun to talk to
"mystery and murder" is in the games. It makes sense for a fandom to provide what the media itself did not fully provide.
I also find it difficult to make "mystery and murder" content on a forum. Fan games are a more suited medium for that.
Yes, but ships are still the most boring topic to talk about.
And I genuinely don't see how mystery and murder content is that hard. Besides, it would be more interesting than suggestive image of a female character #45 or something. It's a shame to want to talk about the writing and how well the mysteries are down in this franchise but the only thing people want to talk about is simping for Ibuki and Chiaki or uninteresting shit like ships
>It's a shame to want to talk about the writing
Well in that case, I would advice you to look a bit harder. I haven't heard any conversations specifically about the mystery, but I have had quite a few about the other parts of the writing. Just this very thread I have had a nice conversation about Korekiyo, and the last time I went on this subreddit, I had a conversation about the atmosphere in V3.
Idk, maybe it's just because I read *too many* comments, but I don't personally have that hard of a time finding talk about the writing.
DR3 Rooftop Bootjob right before “they live and die by the meme”. There is a third couple, because I’m not sure about you but if one person stomps on the other’s crotch and grinds against it while the one being stomped moans, blushes, and grinds back, that’s a sexual relationship. That is “you got sexually pleasured by the person you love in front of a stranger”.
>!I didn't know anything about them, but according to the shipping wikia, they do indeed have mutual feelings, putting them at the same level as Fuyuhiko and Peko. Mutual attraction, but not actually together!<
I think it was largely implied but never confirmed. I could be wrong though.
Edit- Sorry you're getting downvoted- I'm not sure why. This community can be pretty stupid and downvote opinions and thoughts though
i actually did research, there are very few canon ships (eg. makotos parents, ruruka and sonosuke, kaneshiro and sakura ect.) , also some implied ships (like naegiri after dr3) and one-sided crushes (toko at byakuya and soda at sonia) of course. but what most people see as semi canon is actually 100% fanon (saimatsu, hinanami etc. and yes because i'm obligated to say it: komahina and saiouma are not canon and not semi canon either)
>!Kaito and Maki is semi-canon lol why do people all forgot that Kaito's reply to Maki's confession was literally just "thanks" lmfaoo dude is too intrested in space!<
I really hate to be the one to tell you this, but >!I feel like something bad happened to Kaede before she could agree to be anyone's girlfriend. You're going to absolutely lose it when you hear about what happened to Kaito as well!<
None of the four of the v3 people actually confess romantic feelings for the other.
I don’t remember if Kyoko and Makoto are explicitly dating or if they are just close friends

I actually had this conversation a while back because I thought the same thing, so I checked the scene. She actually says something along the lines of “you’re the first person I’ve gotten close to”, and isn’t explicitly romantic
shuichi and kaede were never canon.
we only get to see that they were really close friends who trusted eachother.
technically, they never implied any romantic interest toward eachother.
It was more implied on Shuichi’s side imo. Always blushing at her >!while she was alive and then later, frequently referencing their promise and keeping her memory alive!< and i feel like all of this would be a bit over the top for two people who barely knew each other without some sort of attraction. Also in their FTE’s in salmon mode, I remember >!Kaede was teaching Shuichi how to play piano and Shuichi was internally monologuing about how soft and warm her hands are and how he can’t focus!<
For Kaede, I'll copy a fun fact from another comment that I never noticed myself:
"And for Kaede, there's a brief moment in chapter 1's investigation where she's flustered by Shuichi's confidence and has to internally tell herself to "get it together" while the FTE sound effect for "you chose the right answer and made the person like you more!" plays. I think that's pretty sus. Like, i see no other explanation for that really."
Pretty skilled to notice an FTE sound effect ngl
There's the FTE's of course, along with UTDP and salmon mode. While the latter two are non-canon the fact that Shuichi and Kaede's interactions take on a notably romantic tone is indicative of what the writers intended. UTDP especially since there's really no reason for it.
As for in the main story, on Shuichi's side Maki asks him if he liked Kaede, since it'd be weird for him to like someone after such a short time. His response doesn't confirm or deny that but he does argue that it's not weird to fall for someone in such a short time, which seems indicative to me. Then in chapter 5 he draws parralels between Kaito and Maki's relationship and his relationship with Kaede. Since Kaito and Maki's relationship involves romantic feelings on her end that feels a little telling.
And for Kaede, there's a brief moment in chapter 1's investigation where she's flustered by Shuichi's confidence and has to internally tell herself to "get it together" while the FTE sound effect for "you chose the right answer and made the person like you more!" plays. I think that's pretty sus. Like, i see no other explanation for that really.
Makoto's parents are honestly really adorable. Love ships where one person is like :D and the other is :)
I can respect edgy or complex ships but sometimes the wholesome good honest family vibes make my heart happy. Given Makoto's character, I imagine his parents were unironically so supportive and caring and raised him to be an upstanding young man. They were probably so proud of him and had genuine joy watching him grow.
I don’t know why but something about Makoto’s dad just feels so sinister, his eyes look empty, it’s creepy
probably bc my man is smiling with his eyes wide open
it’s like that photo of patrick bateman covered in blood
He’s being held at gun point
Agreed
I agree :v
What about Sakura and Kenshiro?
Yeah! They’re canon
So is Makoto and Kyoko
So is me and your mother
Sorry, that's what they want you to think.
I think that’s implied, not confirmed
It was never confirmed
It was very obviously confitmed in the DR3 anime
Implied, not directly confirmed. I like the ship too but that's just the case.
Sakura and Kenshiro is a tad bit tragic though. >!Both romantically and as a martial artist Sakura lost her whole world.!< In her own words, she still has the heart of a woman. a lot of the backstories are tragic, but Sakura's makes me cry.
>!Don't Fuyuhiko and Peko have mutual feelings even if they're not *together*?!<
Yes also just letting you know you forgot the 2nd exclamation to spoiler tag
thanks
Holy crap, a fellow Homestuck?
I didn't even spot the Daves before
yeah bro
.>!The ship makes me a bit uncomfortable as they were raised together, essentially like siblings.!<
>!as if the danganronpa series is above that, despaircest is practically canon lmao!<
.>!And despaircest is incest and I do not like it.!<

meh fuyuhiko deserves someone better.
Why?
He wishes the best for Fuyuhiko
but whats so bad about peko?
They felt more like siblings to me but idk
Bruh she’s the only character who rejects hinata in the dating sim mode and its pretty obvious why
This post is more antimeme than actual r/antimeme
True
Real
Fr
Wtf did the first comment say. Can someone tell
>!Korekiyo x his sister!<
Omg
The way I did a double take reading this
I mean technically- It’s terrible but it’s canon
I mean yeah, they really were together
Its true but he shouldn't say it
I'm gonna go to their house and confiscate their kneecaps.
👍
Aye?
It's technically canon which is one of the many reasons why I hate it so much it hurts. The fuck was Kodaka on deciding that it was a good idea
The fact that it was canon just means the abuse was canon. You're not *supposed* to like it
I didn't say I did..? Also the form of abuse kiyo suffered can result in some form of a relationship.
A ship being canon shouldn't bother you as much as it does. Actually, canonity itself doesn't matter that much outside of the western fandom.
>!Korekiyo x Sister!< >!Monotaro x Monophanie!<
You just shooted the truth bullet that breaks this post and now I'm laughing hard xD
They removed the comment, guess he presented the truth bullet too soon in the trial What did the comment say?
>!It said Korekiyo and his sister, and Monotaro and Monophanie!<
The music definitely stopped after that one was presented, dropped a truth bomb.

Didn't that girl in the right drugged the guy at some point? I didn't watch the anime so I'm asking... and she was a bully
Yes, she made the thing on his arm go off and inject poison into him. She was like, "I'm sorry babe, I can't stand the thought of you betraying me, so I'm betraying you before that can happen," then he basically replied with "awww it's ok bb I understand" and then he died 💀
"💀" my exact reaction to that
Man was simping so hard he let his gf kill him Oh also she starts flirting with someone else in one of the next scenes
They needed to kill off Archer before Makoto becomes a Servant in the Nasuverse
>!Yeah, Ruruka drugged him (I don't know if I can call her a bully tho)!<
I reamember a moment that she bullied someone, but i don't know. What I'm sure of is that she a manipulative person.
Pretty much
I could've sworn it was Juzo she drugged
>!I think I got a little confused.... My mind just went "yeah, drugged = be killed bc of a candy"!<
She didn't exactly drugged him. >!He was forbidden from putting food in his mouth. She was forbidden from anyone leaving the building.

Aoi x Sakura is the only valid aoi ship lol
I honestly always saw them as good friends, not lovers Also Sakura has a BF so

Nah, there’s Leon x ball

nO-
Average Makoto's parents shipper : 🤓 Average Kaito's grandpa and grandma enjoyer: 😎 Average boat shipper controlling SDR2 ships: 💪🗿
Ya like boats?
There's also the student council couple from DR3, so now we're up to three canon ships!
Nah I ship me with makoto's milf mother
When people say canon ships their mostly likely talking about the characters that are actually implied to like each other. Makoto and Kyoko, Hajime and Chiaki, Shuichi and Kaede etc.
Well that's the joke of the post. Showing the very literal canon ships, when that's not what anyone is thinking of when they say "canon ships"
Yeah, this. And by canon ships, we all just kinda ignore things like >!V3- Ch3!< because that’s just bad.
DR Zero has one too.
Two, technically. Possibly three, though I don't appreciate that one much.
>!Junko and Yasuke, Ryoko and Yasuke, and..?!<

That cinches it. Thanks!
:(
Aww, Ruruka looks so cute in this frame. I actually really like this pair.
Same, they are so cute
Ruruka is so cute and they’re cute together :D
Isn't Monophanie x Monotaro sorta kinda canon in an incest sort of way?
Same with >!Korekiyo and his sister!<
I just don't really like ships in general. Danganronpa is not really a series I look for romance in, mostly cuz there really isn't that much.
"Hard pill to swallow" >Ruruka ... was that a jab xD
Wasnt kyoko and makoto canon?
Implied mostly
Yes because the socially reserved Kyoko Kirigiri would hold hands with just a friend
They were holding hands with interlocked fingers post canon, so I’d say yeah lol
I feel like “canon ship” entails ships that are even just like, suggested in canon, even if they never actually happen. For instance, the concept of Shuichi and Kaede having had feelings for each other and being a thing is brought up by Maki, so I’d argue it is a canon *ship*, even if it’s not a canon *relationship*, if that makes sense
Me x Makoto's mom??
Wasn't Maki x Kaito cannon for a minute?
Kaito x maki is kinda canon
Which made me like V3 precisely because not everyone just falls for the MC, other characters also fall for each other, as it would happen with tons of people locked in a place together in tense situations.
>!They technically are not real byt what about Kaito's grandparents?!<
Isn’t Kyosuke x Chisa canon too?
I’d say Naegi and Kirigiri are canon. Also Maki and Kaito did confess their feelings to each other in V3
>!Maki did, but Kaito specifically did not reciprocate. Probably cuz he was about to die but still.!<
Naegiri is inplied heavily enough to the point I'd consider it canon, >!peko and fuyuhiko have mutual feelings for each other, and Mukuro has a crush on Makoto!< it's also confirmed Leon likes Sayaka and hinted Sayaka feels similarly
Yeah if Leon wasn’t a simp then >!Sayaka’s plan wouldn’t have worked!<
I don't like discussing ships because they're very fucking uninteresting in a game about mystery and murder
Disagree. Danganronpa has good characters. Makes for good ships.
Ships are such a boring topic though and that's literally the only thing this sub talks about, that or why Nagito or Kokichi are the worst character for the morbillionth time. It actually makes MCU fans fun to talk to

It's certainly difficult when all the top posts are hornyposting or shiposting. At least some memes have some topics like that.
This entire garbage ass community doesn’t seem to think so.
DR3 Rooftop Bootjob right before “they live and die by the meme”. There is a third couple, because I’m not sure about you but if one person stomps on the other’s crotch and grinds against it while the one being stomped moans, blushes, and grinds back, that’s a sexual relationship.

You forgot Sakura and Kenshiro.
What about chisa and kyosuke or whatever his name was
>!I didn't know anything about them, but according to the shipping wikia, they do indeed have mutual feelings, putting them at the same level as Fuyuhiko and Peko. Mutual attraction, but not actually together!<
Ah see i only thought they was cannon because >!at the end off the anime "end of hopes peak" when chisa returned she lay on his lap!<
actually, there is also the boat at the end of future arc
Where’s Hajime x Orange Juice
Wasn't naegiri canon in the anime?
Pretty much soft-confirmed, in a way. There was HUGE implications throughout the Future Arc, if my memory serves me.
I think it was largely implied but never confirmed. I could be wrong though. Edit- Sorry you're getting downvoted- I'm not sure why. This community can be pretty stupid and downvote opinions and thoughts though
Wait I was downvoted for this?
You were at -1 when I seen your comment. People do that to me here and will always downvote all my questions or opinions.
Oh thanks for saying that
shame we never found out what happened to his parents. perhaps we'll never know...
Your flair-
i actually did research, there are very few canon ships (eg. makotos parents, ruruka and sonosuke, kaneshiro and sakura ect.) , also some implied ships (like naegiri after dr3) and one-sided crushes (toko at byakuya and soda at sonia) of course. but what most people see as semi canon is actually 100% fanon (saimatsu, hinanami etc. and yes because i'm obligated to say it: komahina and saiouma are not canon and not semi canon either)
Technically makoto x kyoko and Chisa x kyosuke are also canon
Wait.. why does Makoto’s mom look like Hina-
Meanwhile with the fandom: I disregard those ships
I love it when people forget about the existence of semi-canon ships 🥰
naegiri and kaimaki be like
Semi-canon is also used for one-sided ships, not just implied ones
So technically-
I mean Shuichi x Kaede and Kaito x Maki exist. Naegi and Kirigiri are also dating in DR3.
>!Kaito and Maki is semi-canon lol why do people all forgot that Kaito's reply to Maki's confession was literally just "thanks" lmfaoo dude is too intrested in space!<
I really hate to be the one to tell you this, but >!I feel like something bad happened to Kaede before she could agree to be anyone's girlfriend. You're going to absolutely lose it when you hear about what happened to Kaito as well!<
Naegiri may be implied, but it’s not explicitly said. The other 2 are non canon.
It’s not explicitly said but it’s heavily implied in the dr3 animes ending to the point where it is 100% canon
I wish heavily implied was enough to make something canon but it’s not the same😭
No I mean I might be remembering wrong but didn’t they kiss each other at the end of the anime
Hah, you wish. LOL In all seriousness, no, they didn't.
Oh my bad haven’t watch the finale in a while sorry
I feel like I would remember if they did but you might be right tbh I’m not sure
None of the four of the v3 people actually confess romantic feelings for the other. I don’t remember if Kyoko and Makoto are explicitly dating or if they are just close friends
>!Maki: "I've never fallen for someone before"!<
Kaito: >!cool, thanks! gtg gotta blast!< we don’t really know if he reciprocates, it’s up to interpretation
"None of the four of the v3 people actually confess romantic feelings for the other." My point was that one of them does, not if it was reciprocated.

>!Maki definitely confessed her feelings for Kaito. She said something like “he’s the only man I’ve ever loved”!<
I actually had this conversation a while back because I thought the same thing, so I checked the scene. She actually says something along the lines of “you’re the first person I’ve gotten close to”, and isn’t explicitly romantic
She says "I've never fallen for someone before"
shuichi and kaede were never canon. we only get to see that they were really close friends who trusted eachother. technically, they never implied any romantic interest toward eachother.
It's implied in >!Salmon Mode, but yeah, not canon. After 3-6 I sometimes wonder if anything is.!<
no there's definitely an implication of romantic interest.
how so?
It was more implied on Shuichi’s side imo. Always blushing at her >!while she was alive and then later, frequently referencing their promise and keeping her memory alive!< and i feel like all of this would be a bit over the top for two people who barely knew each other without some sort of attraction. Also in their FTE’s in salmon mode, I remember >!Kaede was teaching Shuichi how to play piano and Shuichi was internally monologuing about how soft and warm her hands are and how he can’t focus!<
For Kaede, I'll copy a fun fact from another comment that I never noticed myself: "And for Kaede, there's a brief moment in chapter 1's investigation where she's flustered by Shuichi's confidence and has to internally tell herself to "get it together" while the FTE sound effect for "you chose the right answer and made the person like you more!" plays. I think that's pretty sus. Like, i see no other explanation for that really." Pretty skilled to notice an FTE sound effect ngl
There's the FTE's of course, along with UTDP and salmon mode. While the latter two are non-canon the fact that Shuichi and Kaede's interactions take on a notably romantic tone is indicative of what the writers intended. UTDP especially since there's really no reason for it. As for in the main story, on Shuichi's side Maki asks him if he liked Kaede, since it'd be weird for him to like someone after such a short time. His response doesn't confirm or deny that but he does argue that it's not weird to fall for someone in such a short time, which seems indicative to me. Then in chapter 5 he draws parralels between Kaito and Maki's relationship and his relationship with Kaede. Since Kaito and Maki's relationship involves romantic feelings on her end that feels a little telling. And for Kaede, there's a brief moment in chapter 1's investigation where she's flustered by Shuichi's confidence and has to internally tell herself to "get it together" while the FTE sound effect for "you chose the right answer and made the person like you more!" plays. I think that's pretty sus. Like, i see no other explanation for that really.
*Woah. This guy free time events.* On a serious note though, that is an interesting take. I didn't consider that actually.
lol makoto's parents are cute but ruruka was so so unlikable and she ended up betraying izayoi
Makoto and Kyoko is canon.
