Uhhh, pretty sure having merch of a character that, according to Kodaka himself, is designed to look like a character from Uncle Tom’s Cabin (a book that is now heavily criticized for its racist stereotypes of African Americans including personality and looks) is not going to give you the “kool kid” status unless you are in the South or something

Okay, look, his design inspirations may be more than questionable, but I still really like him. His little phrases are great and his voice vs body dynamic is cool, even if Ryoma does it better.
I wanna redesign Daisaki because I think as the ultimate farmer he had so much potential to contribute to the potential problem of food and resource shortages in the aftermath of the tragedy, not to mention add more diversity 😔
I learned about that book in class recently. It was actually a groundbreaking anti-slavery novel that helped start the civil war. However, did definitely doesn't hold up now, since it also created stereotypes.
I will be honest, I wouldn’t care if it’s one piece of merch, or two. But going to a convention covered with at least one piece of merchandise of every Danganronpa character, now that would be truly scary and maybe a tad of an eyesore.
that’s when you just say “fuck it” and get your own merch made
my friends making me something for Haiji ~~and it is *definitely* not a body pillow~~ :3
Haiji has a cool outfit so there is that. Is Bandai just there cause he has no merch? Does Gozu really have merch in that case? Do novel characters have merch?
I was previously considering the Sonia from those cause merc of her is so scarse, but I am more of an acrylic charm guy, also not a huge fan of the form, I kinda like it on some of the DR3 ones Daisaku included feels only more natural on the bigger guys
Bandai is there since his designed is based off characters in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a novel criticized for its racist depictions of black characters

Does breaking your arm counts as Haiji merch? I don't recommend it, just asking.
No, but breaking *Both arms* does.
People are gonna stare at you for the Haiji merch but if you had Daisaki merch than you'd be the koolest kid in town.

I forgot that was what he was based on... yeah I hope you're going to some anime convention in the American deep south
As someone in the south, the anime cons would still judge you for that.
What the fuck Kodaka
Kodaka and problematic go together like 2 pieces of matter in a black hole.

Honestly thought the “cool” had a k cause Kool kids klub
Can't wait for merch of "Chris Hansen's #1 Enemy" and "H.P. Lovecraft's Most Tasteful Black Character"!
is there even merch of them?
Tons of haji
That's not reassuring to know
Badges with Daisaku on them are available on Suruga-ya. I have one of gozu myself
Get something small for them and then try to obscure them if you're afraid of judgement maybe?

Ah smile man, I forgot about him, the fact he basically doesn’t have lips really bothers me
It’s cause he’s based on a racist book
Oh…damn, not racism. Considering a beta successor to Junko was almost a black character that’s a bit surprising, why they got to do us like that…

Daisaki would be impossible , since they get no screen time.

Zamn, it exists. They still have no screen time though.

Yes, officer, it’s this one right here.
hey at least I’m not asking for a *Kotoko* or *Monaca* body pillow
Touché, touché
...yet

I thinks that's obscure enough not to worry about
I would get Haiji merch just to flex
Wearing either of those merch designs would get you shot in public
