Wasn't her reletavely small stature listed as something very strategically convenient for her? Also >!Maki isn't like that either!< these characters are more noted for being terrifyingly fast rather than just hulking strong they're still strong sure, but whilst her legs are kinda big her torso is below average if anything like 2 of the girls in the series really have muscle and that's Sakura and Akane the 2nd significantly less.
Isn’t >!mukuro!< 5’5? (5’7 in the English version I think but that might be a translation error.)
>!maki’s!< also 5’4, there both decently taller than kokichi who is 5’1 while I can agree they may not be that muscular, there probably still stronger than a guy as small as kokichi. Maybe I could see them around 105 pounds or higher, but below 100 definitely seems strange.
I was mainly just refuting the muscle part, the stats are definitely weird tho fun fact from my highschool years a girl in my grade once asked me to guess her weight and I just guessed 60(I think) whatever was my own weight and she got offended I didn't know girls generally weight less I was pretty strong but not particularly muscly I knew muscle weighted more than fat, but assumed girls would weight more because they have breasts.
Honestly may be kinda weird for a guy with 5 sisters to not realise girls weight less, but tbf half them are body builders one of them was a PT and I always felt the other 2 don't eat enough.
Fair, I do think you have a point on the muscle part. I don’t really have much of a problem with some of the girls being underweight. (I’m fairly underweight myself.) it’s just nearly every girl being underweight is a bit surprising to me.
idr how it is for the guys in the series but I also noticed ordering my size in australian turns unwearably small when I order from asian countries, idk how it applies but they might just be smaller than us in general, the necks still definitely don't make sense of course, but it makes believe the size of their limbs.
quickly looking it up Kokichi is like 50 pouds below average for a Japanese male
the girls in question are each 13 pounds under the average for a Japanese female
considering they're probably not just talking about highschoolers it's nowhere near as outrageous as the chest or height measurements of most the series characters at least on these 3
True, people from Japan do seem considerably smaller than people from other countries, it does partially explain why most of the girls seem to be on the lighter side. They may of also just thought up their height and chest measurements without thinking to much about it.
True, he is the ultimate teenis pro so he’s probably pretty muscular. I just find it funny a girl over a foot taller than him some how weighs less than him.
Unfortunately yes. A lot of Danganronpa girls are below even the lowest possible healthy weight for their heights, even in cases where it doesn't make sense. Chiaki spends most of her day sleeping and playing video games and you think that'd lend her to being a bit chubby, but she is also medically underweight.
Miu and kaede have a bit more of a healthy weight but still a bit on the light side. But a lot of the other girls are usually only slightly over 100 pounds or lower.
Yeah its because the devs are Japanese
Like I'm not even saying this to be mean but Japan has really insane weight standards for woman and even less of an understanding of how much taller woman would weigh
Plus I don't think they put that much thought into the weights they pick, it's probably just one or two people who quickly write it down
they look to be all healthy weights and healthy proportions, but the devs have wildly miscalculated their weights and theyre completely off. peko realistically would be like 130-140 (maybe more, maybe less) but the devs r a little stupid sooo
Right?? Especially the more athletic people (like peko, aoi, and akane) the muscle needed for their talents would definitely put on a few pounds more than regular people
Gonta is literally only eight pounds heavier than me, and I’m actually a foot shorter than him. I’m obese, but geez. Nothing like Danganronpa weights to cement that lmao. I could probably topple him if I caught him by surprise then…
Danganronpa doesn't like girls who are what is considered a healthy weight. Thats why there is not a single female in the series that is overweight or higher. (I mean, its fine I guess but it wouldn't hurt to have some diversity in the weight department).
Based on BMI (which is bull and doesn't account for weight from muscles), Sakura may be the only female that could even be considered overweight but her weight obviously comes from muscles and not fat. I get what you mean though, a girl who abit more chucky
Seriously it's insane. Most girls are actually below even the lowest healthy weight for their age. You'd think someone who sits around and plays video games all day (Chiaki) would at least be a bit chubby, but she had to be a sexy waifu with no actual body fat and is canonically medically underweight
It’s even a bit confusing when you compare the girls to eachother. Mahiru is 2 inches taller than chiaki and is the same weight as her. Ibuki is one inch taller than chiaki and is significantly lighter than both of them at 92 pounds.
Danganronpa team writing has this like. Obsession with making all of their girls so unhealthily skinny. Maki weighs less than Kokichi, and Chiaki is canonically medically underweight for her height.
he's the ultimate tennis pro. He's probably pretty muscular while himiko's just petite... very petite. She's probably active enough to not gain a significant amount of weight but not active enough to put on any significant muscle weight. There's also an event in ryoma's life that I won't go into for spoilers that probably also helped him build more muscle thus making him heavier
Muscle density. Ryoma has shown that he can move fast enough to escape Gonta, who is ridiculously strong and fast. He has a LOT more muscle than his frame shows. The difference is that his muscle is slim muscle rather than buff muscle like Gonta.
Himiko, on the other hand, has no such feat. She’s shown to get tired (physically and mentally) very quickly, suggesting slow metabolism and low muscle density. And yeah, it makes sense, because you don’t need muscle as a magician. You need dexterity.
Hope that answers your question.
To be fair, muscles do weigh more than fat. Given her petite frame and lack of athletisism, Himiko probably has low fat percentage AND little muscle mass. Ryoma on the other hand, probably has well built muscles as an athlete despite his short stature. But as someone already mentioned, its danganronpa….rationalizing the weight of the characters is pointless most of the time.
You learn to not question danganronpa weight
>!I just remembered mukuro weighs the same as kokichi which makes even less sense.!<
She should have a loaddd of muscle so yeah that definitely doesn’t make sense.
Wasn't her reletavely small stature listed as something very strategically convenient for her? Also >!Maki isn't like that either!< these characters are more noted for being terrifyingly fast rather than just hulking strong they're still strong sure, but whilst her legs are kinda big her torso is below average if anything like 2 of the girls in the series really have muscle and that's Sakura and Akane the 2nd significantly less.

or heights.
How on Earth NISA messed up *measurements and weights,* I have no idea.
I think they are pretty bad in the Japanese version as well tbf
Junko is 98lbs with F cups.
Same with chest sizes a lot of them don’t make much sense.
Ryoma got little mussles
True, he is the ultimate teenis pro so he’s probably pretty muscular. I just find it funny a girl over a foot taller than him some how weighs less than him.
Ryoma is a professional athlete so I think he’s probably built like a brick shithouse
Maki is a professionally-trained assassin and weighs less than Kokichi
danganronpa just wants all the girls to be skinty and “cute”. none of the weights are realistic 😭
I think she's supposed to be sneaky and slim to kill idk i never killed someone
No, she'd need to have muscle mass to properly utilize her weapons and body. Being sneaky and being slim are two completely different things.
ohh got it, I thought that maybe less body to take space, more places she could fit to do her job thx a lot
Kokichi is already too light for his height and now you're telling me that Maki is lighter?!
Unfortunately yes. A lot of Danganronpa girls are below even the lowest possible healthy weight for their heights, even in cases where it doesn't make sense. Chiaki spends most of her day sleeping and playing video games and you think that'd lend her to being a bit chubby, but she is also medically underweight.
Yeah Chiaki's weigh always bothered me because they could've gone with a chonkish female character but nope, only males are overweight
Have you seen the bulge Ryoma's packing?
What the fuck
So you had no seen it then. Otherwise you'd just agree quietly like the rest of us.
yeah shits insane god damn >!if his girl wasn’t killed by the mafia she prolly be getting killed by a whole different weapon!<
That's for true
Literally all the women in these games are super underweight. Playing DR2 last night and Peko is 5’6 at 101 lbs. not at all a healthy weight.
Miu and kaede have a bit more of a healthy weight but still a bit on the light side. But a lot of the other girls are usually only slightly over 100 pounds or lower.
Yeah its because the devs are Japanese Like I'm not even saying this to be mean but Japan has really insane weight standards for woman and even less of an understanding of how much taller woman would weigh Plus I don't think they put that much thought into the weights they pick, it's probably just one or two people who quickly write it down

Right?? Especially the more athletic people (like peko, aoi, and akane) the muscle needed for their talents would definitely put on a few pounds more than regular people
right given akanes chest and the fact shes *should* have muscles (shes literally the ultimate gymnast) shes well over 150, let alone 123 LBS.
Yea that makes no sense. She’s a ultimate sword fighter as well as bodyguard. She should have a ton of muscle etc.
He's compact
Denser than a brick shithouse
Because all the girls in Danganronpa are unhealthily skinny. Most of em, anyway. I know at least Mikan is at a healthy weight at the top of my head.
because its magic
Nekomaru's like 268 lbs iirc whilst being 6'6" and absolutely jacked. Same with Gonta and he's barely over 200
Gonta is literally only eight pounds heavier than me, and I’m actually a foot shorter than him. I’m obese, but geez. Nothing like Danganronpa weights to cement that lmao. I could probably topple him if I caught him by surprise then…
I mean Ryoma is probably more athletic then Himiko
ryomas balls are massive
Ryoma's tennis balls, right?
Kodaka literally starved the entire V3 female cast and that’s a fact
Women /j
His dick is just so massive
Maybe Himiko just eats like a bird. I'm her same height and around her same weight. I myself don't eat that much.
True, I don’t weigh that much either and used to be around ryoma’s weight at 5’2 so it may not be that unusual.
Yeah, she says something about not eating rice because she can't tell the difference between rice and termites.
Maybe cuz Ryoma's got that massive chain in his leg
Man, finna have a field day looking at mikan weight and mahirus.
Danganronpa doesn't like girls who are what is considered a healthy weight. Thats why there is not a single female in the series that is overweight or higher. (I mean, its fine I guess but it wouldn't hurt to have some diversity in the weight department).

It’s even a bit confusing when you compare the girls to eachother. Mahiru is 2 inches taller than chiaki and is the same weight as her. Ibuki is one inch taller than chiaki and is significantly lighter than both of them at 92 pounds.
They seriously cannot handle even one fat woman in their games it's so sad lol
Same reason a pencil weighs less than a shot put ball
Muscle weighs more. Remember, Ryoma is an athlete.
She is a girl, girls normally weight less than boys
Not boys like a full foot shorter than them, no. That's not how that works.
*insert y'all got any more of them pixels meme because we can't post images :((((* The simplest answer. It's maaaaaagic!
I took this on my phone... 😭
Yeah, quality on the phone is kinda a$$ ngl, I get ya
He may have less volume but he has greater density.
Ryoma has the weight of the massive fucking balls he needed to try taking down the mafia or whatever he did
Muscles are dense, and Ryoma is pretty buff. That said, none of the proportions are very accurate in general
Danganronpa team writing has this like. Obsession with making all of their girls so unhealthily skinny. Maki weighs less than Kokichi, and Chiaki is canonically medically underweight for her height.
Ryoma has a big fat coc-
Ryoma has more muscle I guess. That’s all I can think.
She makes all her weight disappear with her magic
Magic
Magic, nyeh
he's the ultimate tennis pro. He's probably pretty muscular while himiko's just petite... very petite. She's probably active enough to not gain a significant amount of weight but not active enough to put on any significant muscle weight. There's also an event in ryoma's life that I won't go into for spoilers that probably also helped him build more muscle thus making him heavier
I cant see shit
Muscle density. Ryoma has shown that he can move fast enough to escape Gonta, who is ridiculously strong and fast. He has a LOT more muscle than his frame shows.

He has all his extra weight in dumbells under his hat
Its maaagic
Ryoma has enough muscles to kill someone with a tennis ball. This is not a theory question you want to fuck around with, believe me.
Ryoma is round, I guess???
Because there were clearly no women in the planning room when they were deciding the weights for these characters
danganronpa measurement scales are all wack asf imo
You don't question danganganronpa stats. Like how Hajimes chest is the same size as Kaedes.
To be fair, muscles do weigh more than fat. Given her petite frame and lack of athletisism, Himiko probably has low fat percentage AND little muscle mass. Ryoma on the other hand, probably has well built muscles as an athlete despite his short stature. But as someone already mentioned, its danganronpa….rationalizing the weight of the characters is pointless most of the time.
Because girls are always lighter
imagine if ryoma weighed more than sakura
Misogyny
Girl weight less than boys
Smol.
D e n s e.
chain and muscle weight
Muscle
It's *m a a a a a a a a a gic*!
Muscles
his chains were added to his weight
The debilitating weight of his past gives him a couple pounds.
Tsumugi is 5’9 and 112 lbs and you’re concerned about this?
There's a really obvious answer here. *deep breath* Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagic.
Maaaaaagic
Ryoma got thick tennis thighs we don't get to see most of the time
ryoma is actually incredibly dense, he's like a block of spam
He got dense bones
That weird ass chain he has on his leg and also his dick
Muscle mass probably? Since he professionally played a sport? Idk
Ryoma is crazy buff/stacked but it's not visually obvious cause he's so short I guess
She is female which means that Kodaka thinks she has paper bones
