Salvage Showcase - Mukuro Ikusaba....'s Cult

Back to Killer Killer, home of Danganronpa's most wasted potential in terms of characters, settings and concepts.

Last time we spoke of Ted Chikatilo and how the writers didn't want him to be anything beyond an Ultimate mad bomber. So this time we have the penultimate villains of Killer Killer: the Cult of Mukuro Ikusaba!

Summary

Like with many villains and characters from Killer Killer, the cult's background prior to the events of the manga is unknown. What is known is that they are women who are very devoted to one of the Despair Sisters - Mukuro Ikusaba. It's to the point that they all dressed in exact copies of her old school uniform and modify themselves to look like her physically (by some method anyway).

The cult first appeared following a report that the deceased Mukuro Ikusaba broke out and was attacking the 8th Branch. When Takumi, Misaki and Shuji arrive they found Ruruka's security detail slaughtered and confront Mukuro. But she isn't alone, she is with an entire horde of lookalikes that attack them. But, despite their efforts, none of the Mukuro's are a match for Takumi and they begin to suffer heavy losses. Takumi is pretty angry since he considers them a bunch of cheap knockoffs that couldn't hope to compare to the real Mukuro. He gives them a 0/100 for their murders (putting on the same level as Kenji Tsuruhashi).

It's during this fight that Misaki is really grappling with the idea of Takumi being Killer Killer, not wanting him to kill them. She even goes out of her way to knock a few out with muscle relaxant ammo so that they could be taken in without need for killing...only for Takumi to save her from the last batch by slicing them in half. Confirming that he is Killer Killer once and for all in her mind....

And then a second later she gets stabbed by Shuji. Turns out he hired the cult as a form of shock therapy for Takumi, to get him to stop being Killer Killer, but that failed. He was going to kill Misaki, but several of the Future Foundation Directors and Ikue Dogami arrive on the scene. Shuji escapes by detonating a bomb inside the pocket of a Mukuro and using the explosion to run away. If the cult wasn't completely killed by Takumi, the survivors that were knocked out would have been arrested. No matter what, they are out of commission for the rest of the story.

The cult is pretty straightforward and all hold pretty much the same demeanor. They are a bunch of women that worship Mukuro Ikusaba and imitate her down to the T. They seem to act as mercenaries given Shuji was able to get their aid in his plot, and hold immense skill given just one is able to slaughter numerous security guards without effort. However, against Killer Killer, or even someone skilled with a gun, they are able to be taken down en masse, showing they still lag behind the original Mukuro. In battle, they are hyper focused on killing anyone in their path, even when hurt or other cultists die. They will not give up until someone has either killed them or knocked them out.

Rundown

In Killer Killer, if I were to provide it a theme, it would have to be Passion vs Shallowness. To have true drive for your profession and do things out of love for what you really want to do. That's Takumi's whole deal with his murders and what he criticizes the villains of Killer Killer for lacking, to varying degrees. Their passion isn't for murder, but using it as a means for their own goals.

In the cultists case, their Passion is Mukuro Ikusaba. Sadly, we never get a reason why they worship her, but it's clear they hold her in some mahor esteem given their appearance and actions. They are utterly devoted to the late Ultimate Soldier and giving it their all for her, even if it costs them greatly...

But Takumi ranks them 0. Putting them, in the same vein as Kenji who is really the epitome of the Shallowness theme. He kills out of a means for an end. No love for it at all besides the backlash it can cause others. No regards to people's lives, especially the one he stole. So why is the cult, who clearly hold a strong passion for something, strongly disliked by Takumi?

Well, he says it best:

They may love Mukuro, but they hold no true love for their actions. They're fangirls that commit atrocities to be like their idol, but with the case of some fans, utterly miss the point of what she's about in their quest to be like her. (Ironically, so is Takumi, but that is something for another time...). If Kenji is Shallowness to the extreme of just doing something for the practical benefit, the cultists of Mukuro are Shallowness to the extent that they are doing it out of obligation. 'If they want to be like Mukuro then clearly they have to kill whoever is in their sights!' In Takumi's eyes, it pretty much just reduced murder as apart of something to check off on a list if they want to be like someone's replica of all things. An extreme offense in Takumi's eyes, which is why he outrights fails him.

That isn't to say they don't succeed in being like their idol in some degree. Both the cultists and Mukuro were used as means to an end by the Masterminds of their respective entries. What separates them in turn is that Junko did legitimately love her sister, getting a euphoric sense of despair for killing someone she loved with all her heart (just like she got before when she killed her boyfriend).

Shuji, though, did not give a feather about them beyond their use in potentially getting Takumi to quit being Killer Killer. He leaves any potential survivors to be arrested, if they weren't slaughtered by Takumi, and even blows up a cultists body to escape from being arrested. While their idol was at least loved enough by her killer who used Mukuro's aid to alter their world forever, the imitations end up as just collateral damage in Shuji's pipe dream that only resulted in both Mastermind and his hired goons demises. It's the worst end by a long shot for them.

On a minor note, the cultists being taken care of so easily by both Takumi, and even dispatched by Misaki, also wraps back around the dilemma with the Madarai clan and the Despair Sisters issue of quality for quality. Danganronpa is a series that values individuals talent and being unique (even it can be detrimental). Trying to mimic someone else, while it can throw people off for a bit, will never work against someone genuinely being original and just makes yourself predictable to being outplayed. Again and again. It's funny how in their quest to be like Mukuro, the wound up making the same mistake Mukuro criticizes the Madarai of doing.

Personal Thoughts

As a concept, I love the Mukuro Cult! When it comes to Ultimate Despair, while it very much makes sense that Junko would be the head honcho revered by its members, the fact Mukuro (essentially its co-founder) was left by the wayside was a bit sad, though it made perfect sense.

But these guys? The fact Mukuro herself had an entire cult dedicated to her is amazing! Like with the Warriors of Hope for Junko, it gives the feeling that these girls were larger than life and had clear influence that still wreaked havoc on society even beyond the grave! It's a excellent idea...

But like with most things in Killer Killer, it's extremely undercooked. While Another Episode goes very in-depth to show why the Warriors worship Junko and love her to the point of being inspired by her to make their paradise/being a devious pickle gremlin, the cult gets nothing. No real reason why they worship Mukuro or how they got to perfectly look like her. They're just fakers who can't compare to Takumi and go down after pissing him off.

While not as bad as Ted's deal, the writing feels like they just wanted a shock factor for their brief screentime, rather than legitimately explore the concept in any meaningful capacity. What if they were women who were taken in by the Remnants, broken by society and given meaning by becoming Mukuro? Or maybe they somehow admired Mukuro being sacrificed for someone else, and wanted to become her to get a fate like that? Maybe they were girls that Mukuro ended up saving while during her Fenrir days so becoming her and carrying on her legacy, if misguided, was their way of honoring her?

There's so much you can do with this concept...and it went to waste just as fast. It's a pity, but what can you do?

Aftermath

Concerning this Killer Killer showcase from last time, while I do still believe Ted is just a flash without substance character, I also feel that I did lean a bit too hard with it in terms of my rundown and personal thoughts (I didn't even give the theme for Killer Killer for last time). So I wanted to be a bit more structured again and dial back more of my dislike of Killer Killer as a whole. Is it still the worst of the series to me? Yes, and I will call it out for that, but I don't want that to really get too much in the way of analysis for the casts of these guys. I hope this works out much better!

Here's a pet peeve of mine that nobody asked for: it sucks that a boy and girl who are very close friends always have to be portrayed as romantic in some sort of way in Danganronpa. There's Kyoko/Makoto, Chiaki/Hajime, Kaede/Shuichi, Chisa/Kyosuke, Junko (Ryoko)/Yasuke, Misaki/Takumi, Peko/Fuyuhiko, and probably a few others i forgot to list. Some of these pairs are mostly implied, but still.

Also, this post is not meant to be bashing on these ships in any way, cuz most of them are pretty cute and harmless. I just wish we could have a genuine male/female friendship without any hint of attraction and romantic feelings. It can just come across as forced sometimes.

Though of course, Danganronpa is not the only franchise that has this trope.

EDIT: Yes, Shuichi/Maki and Makoto/Hina are platonic (not including bonus dating modes or free times, of course), but that's because they are already attracted to somebody anyway. Shuichi is already attracted to Kaede, Maki is to Kaito, and Makoto is implied to be attracted to Kyoko.

Literally the closest male/female best friend duo I could think of in the series that seems to be fully platonic (and them not having feelings for anyone else of the opposite sex) is Akane/Nekomaru. But even then, it's up to debate whether or not Akane was sexually attracted to him or not from the way she spoke about him by the end of DR2.

Salvage Showcase - Eichiro Saiyama

...And so I missed the Killer Killer anniversary like, well, a lot! My bad, but trying to find who to do next was pretty difficult. I didn't want to do a salty or disappointed Showcase like the last two, so was trying to focus on who I could write about that I liked.

So on that end I decided to do a Showcase on one of Killer Killer's better serial killers of the week (having a backstory will do that to you) - its Eichiro Saiyama!!!

Eichiro was a lonely and rather unpopular kid in his youth. The only happy moment he could gather was when one girl complimented his art and said he should be a mangaka.

And so he did!! That moment inspired him to be a manga artist that worked under Comic Ponpon...except the issue of people praising him persisted. While he's surviving the Tragedy enough to continue his work, it should be noted that his work was considered just...okay. Editors or readers, no one really cared for it.

Cue one day, Takumi Hijirihara shows up in a box, going over his work and about one he liked was Eichiro's documentary manga about the Tragedy. It had gotten popular with Takumi for its hyperrealistic graphic displays of death, but there was just one issue.

See, they were a bit too realistic.

Yeah, Eichiro is a serial killer that murders his victims to use as references in his manga. To be specific, he's a copycat killer that murders his victims in relation to past cases, such as stringing up people to look like Chihiro's corpse.

Takumi deduces his motives were in a vain attempt to gain some praise, and criticizes him for using murder to seek out approval from others, believing attempts like that won't ever sell well. Takumi ranks Eichiro's murder as being 20 points for his misdeeds, and notes that Eiichiro's manga, while he does like it, won't ever be a bestseller since it's just too ordinary (to the point he marks Eichiro's manga as just being 55 points, even though Takumi likes it)

Upon hearing this, Eichiro (who had been progressively losing his mind) snaps and attacks Takumi, trying to kill him with his Wolverine-eqsue pens. But, Takumi get's the leg up and kill Eichiro similarly to how Mukuro Ikusaba died.

Eichiro is a man that seeks out praise above all else since he sorely lacked that in life. Self-describing himself as dull, he believes his only redeeming quality is his artistic skills since it net him one praise he got in life. He is very sensitive to people dismissing him and his hard work.

Eventually, his need for approval escalated until he became a serial killer, killing others to use as reference for his work out of some desire to gain what he wanted the most.

Rundown

In Killer Killer's theme of Passion vs Shallowness, Eichiro represents Shallowness in the form of attention and represents the dangers of being obsessed with validation from others. He wants people to notice him, and gives him the praise he feels he deserves. It's what fuels him to become a mangaka and drives him to the point that became a copycat killer to try to get what he wanted.

But its all at a detriment to himself. He focused so hard on his artistic skills he neglected his personal life, be it making friends or enjoying life that he made his own self-esteem issues worse. And because what he chased after was something so brief, and in a career so demanding, it had become a cycle of toxic disappointment and desperation. It's basically a self-fulfilling downward spiral in a way.

Another aspect of Eichiro that's telling to his own 'dullness' is the form of manga he made, a documentary, and even his own killing: copycat murders. He's essentially recapping events that most people in the world at the time would be privy about, and committing the cardinal sin for those in the artistic world - plagiarism. No one really cares for his work because he's essentially just regurgitating common knowledge for the public. If he had made something more original, he'd probably would get better success, but given how much he shut himself away to 'hone his talent' he probably doesn't have the life skills or proper imagination for it (and never will thanks to Takumi).

Finally, he's killed in similar way to Mukuro's Spears of Gungnir, though instead of spears its his own pens that kill him. in Danganronpa, ironic murders are all the rage, so you can think of it as symbolizing his own talent - his own crutch and downfall in life - being the one to lead him astray and betray him.

Personal Thoughts

I really like Eichiro, because he's one of the few characters in Killer Killer to be fully fleshed out. In backstory, in motivations, in personality - he's brimming with it in one chapter, when most of the main cast lack it in all 14. (Probably since the writer for KK is speaking from their own feelings in the industry, but that's just me). He's one of the few gems that I can say are good about Killer Killer and wish the other killers replicated. Especially Ted, who debuted in chapter 3.

I also like Eichiro in how he fleshed out an established lore item in DR2, that being the Tragedy manga found in endgame. He's heavily implied to be the author of that, and I always appreciate it when the DR series tries to build upon past continuity. Same reason why I like Koichi or Another Episode! Or later on concepts like the Mukuro Cult. It's building upon and even expanding the world of DR in a pretty good way. And in a 'flash, but little substance' story that Killer Killer seems to tred, stuff like that needs to be treasured.

Also, even as a killer, I just like he's the sort that should have been promoted more - he feels like a realistic DR villain. He's not drinking blood due to thinking it'll make him younger, he doesn't have parasite monsters that break the world - no, he's just a copycat killer trying to use his murders to increase his fame and get him praise. That's it, and God is it refreshing.

In short: Eiichiro is a breath of fresh air in the Killer Killer entry.

With that, another Killer Killer entry done! Hope it's a good read, with the next up being, again, the miscellaneous section of the DR novel side.

takumi hijirihara x afab!reader

tags: Prompt 6, NSFW, possessive behavior, creepy behavior?, ooc, a little dirty talking, semi-public sex, comfort, small misaki appearance.

a/n: this took me a while because i kept changing it and I’ve been busy but I enjoyed it! I haven’t read much of Killer Killer so it may be… unusual. also there’s not much content for this guy out here so.. here’s some crumbs! Definitely longer than I expected it to be.

Takumi has no problem showing his possessiveness. He has no shame in showing it just like everything else he does. This is known because he reminds you at every. waking. moment. And today is no different.

Seeing you with his coworkers, having fun, too much of it; you forget that you had to meet up with him in the evening. It’s only when you open the small closet’s door to retrieve your jacket to leave that you yelp in surprise when you’re met with Takumi standing there, glaring down at you.

“We were supposed to meet up in front of the HQ an hour ago.” He doesn’t even greet you properly. He speaks in a low, cold tone. Which is enough sign that he’s pissed off if you couldn’t tell since he usually clings to you, bathing you in praise and pet names the moment he sees you.

Before you can force out an apology, he pulls you into the closet by your arm with enough force that it makes you stumble right into his arms. Where you’re meant to be, he thinks.

Though, he doesn’t embrace you. Instead, he shuts the door with his other hand and is pressing you against the wood. You can’t see too clearly, the light in this closet is dim but you can see, feel, how irritated he is.

You try to reason with him, make him calm down as you stare up at him. Your brows furrowing and your eyes wistful, hoping to get through to him. “Takumi, I just look track of time.. “ Your voice is in a whisper, trying to be cute as you try to reach up to brush the strands of hair in his face.

He doesn’t listen. He catches your wrist, pinning it against the wall. His grip on your arm is tight as if to restrain himself from the little self-control he has right now. He refused to listen to anything right now, too blinded by the jealousy bubbling up inside his stomach.

It was making him sick, seeing the group of investigators looking at you with gazes that were way too inappropriate in his eyes! Was it the skirt you wore? The one that he likes, purely because he can see under it whenever he’s hiding under the break rooms sink? Or maybe he just hates anyone who looks at you and is a little delusional.

Yet right now, he wasn’t thinking about his weird behavior. All he thought about was how you’d make it up to him. Right here, right now.

“Pull up your skirt.”

“W-What? But we’re in—“

Takumi only seemed to grow more agitated at your words. His eyes narrow and his hand comes up to grab your face. His fingers digging into your cheeks as he speaks sternly. “I’m going to fucking ruin you. So be good for me or else.”

And that warning was all it took for you to obey.

—

Soon enough, your watery eyes are looking up at him, pools of salt reflecting the light of the closet, tears running down your soft and warm cheeks and your lip is all swollen and raw from how much you’ve been biting down on it. Skirt bunched up around your waist and your panties long finding their way into his pocket. It all makes him insane, you look so alluring like this, fuck. He can’t let anyone else get this gorgeous sight, he won’t allow it.

His fingers are moving slowly in and out of your messy cunt. Your cheeks flushed at how loud the noises are. The wet, squelching noises that remind you how needy and desperate you are. To please him, to reach your own high especially but he’s thriving in your tears that he doesn’t give you what you yearn for.

You can’t see his face but you can hear how heavily he’s breathing in your ear, the way his hard on is pressed against your ass, ever so slightly being rubbed against you. He knows it makes you only grow more heated with the way your walls are clenching down on his fingers, the way your hips wiggle around to make him touch the tender spot deep inside of you.

He’s so close, his fingers occasionally graze it, making you shudder and hold onto the door in front of you. You screw your eyes shut and beg, which is something you’ve been doing for a while, “Please, Takumi. ‘m sorry.. I-I really didn’t mean-“

He roughly rubs his thumb against your bundle of nerves and it forces a moan out of you. It simultaneously too much and too little and you can only clench your fists as you sob.

“It’s a little too late for sorry. Just be good and take what I give you.” Takumi speaks lowly as he continues his ministrations. He’s not doing this just to tease you, of course. He’s doing this to prep you as well, don’t want you to be in pain while he’s having his way with you.

Though you’re lucky because he was tempted by the idea.. a bit of a sadistic tendency since he wanted you to feel as hurt as him when he saw you getting chummy with other guys. But! He’s not going to be so mean today.

After moving his two fingers in a scissoring motion inside of you for a few more minutes, he decides it’s enough. The way you’re whining and how your pussy is practically drenching his hand makes him give in and have mercy on you.

He pulls his hand away, bringing his fingers to his lips to have a quick taste since he’s not able to fully enjoy you in this damn closet. But it’s only for a moment as he’s already reaching for his belt buckle. You hear it clinking behind you, making your stomach swoop in excitement of what’s to come, your little hole fluttering around nothing.

He doesn’t make you wait any longer, he’s just as desperate as you are. A moment of silence passes before you feel the tip of his cock prodding against your entrance, forcing a moan out of you as you feel him immediately shoving his way inside.

“Oh fuck.” Takumi bites his bottom lip, screwing his eyes shut to let himself savor the feeling of your tight inner walls making him groan, how they seem to suck him in, begging him to go deeper.

He looks down to see where you two are conjoined, moving his hips slowly as he’s enjoying the sight of how his cock disappears into your pretty soaking cunt.

He’s snapped out of his trance when you whine, pushing your hips back against him to move faster. “So needy.” Takumi teases, giving one of your buttocks a squeeze before he starts to move his cock inside you faster. The sound of skin slapping against skin filling the small closet.

It feels too good, so good. The pleasure is quickly burning inside your body, building up in your lower belly. You hold onto the door, your hands occasionally balling up into fists when he hits the spot inside that makes you almost moan loudly.

And Takumi can’t get enough of it, your whimpers, whiny and filled with his name. “You’re being loud. I wonder.. would you like the others to see how much of a slut you are for me?”

You clench around him at the sound of his voice, making him hiss and his grip on your ass just a bit tighter. “I should— God. I should just open the door and let them see, huh? Show them exactly— thrust who you— thrust belong to.”

It has your eyes rolling to the back of your head, how his cock is dragging along your walls, filling you up, stretching you out and making your blood run hot through your veins and unknowingly, your moans louder. Its all starting to get too much, your breaths are getting shallower and you feel—

You can’t even finish your thoughts as he gives one, two, three circles of your clit and a shaky moan leaves your mouth, your whole body tensing up as you cry out Takumi’s name. Your pussy pulses around his cock and the sight of your face, your mouth hanging open and the way you say his name.. it automatically makes him cum on sight, shooting his load inside of you.

He leaned forward to rest his head against your back, kissing your shoulder blade as he was breathing heavily against it. He can feel how your taking in deep breaths, trying to calm down from your climax. He gives a few more gentle thrusts to help you ride it out before he lifts his head up.

“…You’re alright? I didn’t hurt you? “ Takumi speaks up, scanning your body for any signs of painful markings. Sure, he has some sadistic tendencies here and there but he can’t break you! Nobody compares to you, nobody can replace you. Which is why he tries his best to take care of you.

“No.. I’m okay, really. Just wanna go home.” You mumble, shaking your head in response to his questions. You’re already in a state of post-bliss and fuzziness, your body is tingling and you have a craving to go home and simply lay in bed with Takumi. Simply put, you’re fucked out.

“Figured.” Takumi pulled out of you, making you breathe out, feeling a loss of warmth. He’s quick to lower your skirt back to its respective position, whispering a quick, ‘i’ll keep these’ when you ask about your underwear.

He turns you around, sliding his hand up and down your arm in a comforting manner. “Let’s go home then. We’ll do whatever you want.” He murmured as he brought you into his embrace for a moment. His familiar scent comforts you and you want to just stay in this moment with him forever, closing your eyes and pressing your cheek against his chest. He’s even rubbing your back as you nod, letting out a content sigh. “Sounds amazing.”

That is until Misaki opened the door. “Just getting my stuff, sorry! Hmm… it smells a little weird in here.. It’s a little hot too. Where’s the air freshener?”
