Friendly Reminder: The reason Tsumugi was only cosplaying as characters from the first two games is because of the Flashback Light that contained memories of Hope’s Peak Academy. If she gave them a Flashback Light that had memories from Danganronpa 4 through 52, then she could’ve cosplayed as characters from those games. It’s supposed to hint that Danganronpa 4 through 52 had stories that were in no way related to Hope’s Peak Academy. Tsumugi stated that if she did cosplay as those characters, they wouldn’t recognize them because those characters never went to Hope’s Peak.
And remember that the reason they got the Flashback Light about Hope’s Peak was so they could have the hope to stop Kokichi from ending the killing game. Kokichi’s plan was to show everyone the outside world as a post-apocalyptic Earth, making them lose all hope and have no reason to play the killing game. And Kokichi tried to trick everyone into thinking he was the mastermind, so the real mastermind, Tsumugi, had to get rid of him by rewriting the story Team Danganronpa had planned by bringing back Hope’s Peak Academy. Tsumugi also stated that she was in a rush and overlooked the inconsistencies, so the Flashback Light about Hope’s Peak wasn’t 100% accurate with the plot from the first two games and the plot Team Danganronpa had planned.

re: tsumugi being a terrible mastermind: i’ve seen the theory that the person they were supposed to bring back in the chapter 3 trial was kaede, bc irl kaede actually had a twin (implied by the final chapter tsumugi trying to push the idea that kaede had a twin who was the mastermind) and they could rewrite her memory to be kaede, but angie took it over and wanted to revive rantaro instead, which they wouldn’t actually be able to do, and the flashback light that angie destroyed would’ve actually made them want to bring kaede back but angie, y’know, destroyed it, so tsumugi just got lucky kiyo killed before they could’ve tried to revive rantaro
chapter 2 also has the mistake of the motive videos being switched up! really v3 was a horrible mess the whole time and ‘mugi got lucky it lasted that long 😂😂😂
I FORGOT ABOUT THE MOTIVE VIDEO MIX UP GHDSJKFHJDSJGSDF I rescind my previous post Tsumugi never had anything going to plan /j
That's a really neat idea though!! I never thought about that but that makes A Lot of sense. I've been wondering for a while how they were gonna do that whole revival ritual thing and mostly either shrugging it off or it doesn't matter in simulation post games, but that makes a lot of sense.
#pluto answers#I ALSO forgot angie smashed a flashback light in ch3. this is a sign#I need to replay v3 immediately#Im forgetting things!! AUGHHHH#Also every time im reminded of Kaede's secret twin I lose it#that scene with tsumugi and shuichi was so fucking funny as someone who already knew mugi was the mastermind at the time of seeing it#T: ''Shuichi Kaede had a secret twin!! she lied to you!! You know who else had a twin she didnt tell anyone about? Junko enoshima....''#T: ''kinda suspicious dont you think ultimate detective?''#S: ''????????? what? No?''

I still don't like the ending, but the more I think about it, the more I like Tsumugi's characterization. Girlie really just went from being the least interesting character for me to being one of the very best (and I already liked a lot of DRV3 characters).
#I mean I complain about kokichi a lot#but outside of him I think I'm actually happy with all the other characters#(pity kokichi outshines them and hoards the spotlight... but whatever)#yet I think something about tsumugi really just goes hard#maybe it's the fact that she spends the entire killing game with us. she doesn't hide from us like junko did#the fact that she murdered someone too! and framed kaede for it! and got away with it!!!#I also think that she isn't actually faking her care for the other characters#like... she does love them. even if it's just the way a writer loves their little ocs instead of loving them as people#she does feel sad when they die even if she thinks it's what needs to be done for the plot to progess#I think that idea is extremely interesting and I'm adopting it as canon#(tsumugon thought: tsumugi instigating maki to kill kokichi with the flashback light wasn't because he pretended to be the mastermind#but because she actually planned for him to get killed by miu in chapter 4#and she's IMMENSELY mad that the little bastard turned it around and killed her man#tsumugi: hey- how dare you. gonta was literally my husbando)

Okay, unsolicited crackpot theory that's gonna make me sound like this meme
What if Tsumugi wasn't actually the mastermind of V3?
Exhibit A: The flashback lights have the power to redefine your memory.
Exhibit B: Tsumugi throughout V3 frequently says things that would actively undermine her power as the mastermind.
Subpoint Ba. She's quick to point out when things are obviously a trap
Subpoint Bb. She is almost always the last to agree to a plan that will lead them into the motives.
Subpoint Bc. She's constantly criticizing the cast even though she supposedly wrote them
Sub-subpoint Bca. That actually sounds like a real author so cross that off the list
Exhibit C: It would make sense for the real people running the show to set her up as the fall person by loading in fake memories of her being the mastermind.
Your honor, she did nothing wrong.

My own little fucked up headcanon about DRV3 is that Tsumugi isn't even the actual mastermind. That's just the memories she's had. And she's literally just as fictional as the rest of them. If Tsumugi were to die she'd get replaced by another person. Presumably through the use of a flashback light. She of course never considers this.
#i think the obvious replacements would be kirumi angie shuichi or kokichi#tsumugi shirogane#drv3 spoilers#drv3#danganronpa

If you were in a killing game, would you rather have Junko be the Mastermind or Tsumugi?
Oh Junko 100% Junko is so much worse at being a mastermind then Tsumugi like I love Junko but lets actually look at the stats of their two killing games
Tsumugi ends up with only THREE survivors, and her reaction to being caught breaking the rules is "so?" unlike junko who has more respect for her rules and only breaks them when pushed into a corner. Tsumugi only cares that danganronpa continues, she doesn't care how it happens, what rules she breaks, who she frames, who she lies too.
Meanwhile while Junko is still Junko she rarely actually lies, she may leave things ambiguous to let people take it the wrong way sometimes, but as a whole if you ask her a straight question, you'll get a legit answer or she'll vaguely gesture towards finding it out yourself. Junko doesn't really lie, sometimes she does, or she purposefully misleads, but compared to Tsumugi she's incredibly honest.
Junko's game ended with only three real blackened. Leon, Mondo, and Celeste. Sakura doesn't really count because she did suicide, and Mukuro's corpse was a patched together frame job. Even then, two of the murders were more spur of the moment, Leon and Mondo were put into places of intense emotional heighten and lashed out and then regretted it. Celeste is the only person who ACTUALLY really went after the motive with the intent of getting the motive. Every kill was also done at night when people were alone. Unlike in V3 where Korekiyo has the fucking AUDACITY to kill someone in THE MIDDLE OF AN INVESTIGATION IN A FULL ROOM. Like powermove but GEEZ.
Junko had more then double the survivors of Tsumugi, and people who just kept their head down and didn't bother with anyone else like Toko were pretty fine. As long as you didn't try to kill anyone and be careful who you were with at night, you were pretty much fine in Junko's game. Survival in Junko's game is so much as just not leaving your room very much beyond getting food.
Meanwhile Tsumugi is pushing things up to EXTREME'S in her motives with the flashback lights. Like say what you will about the danger of a Junko game, it's got NOTHING on tsumugis ability to shine a light at someone and make them think they have no choice but to kill no matter what they would have thought before the shine of that light. Like the entire death of Kokichi was only able to happen because of a planted flashback light, that's EVIL and means ANYONE is at danger at ANY TIME of getting the wrong memory that makes you blacken or makes someone else kill you. At least in Junko's game you can mostly trust your own perception of reality beyond the original memory loss.

You know what would be an absolutely horrifying twist at the end of all this? If Shirogane is already a body snatcher, what if by this point she’s found a way to split her consciousness across multiple bodies, so killing her own body achieves absolutely nothing because there’s still a Tsumugi hivemind out there.
Oh, that's already been on my mind since we heard about this. And you're right, that's 100% a possibility. I'd call it a certainty.
Brainscans can be copied and pasted just like any other program, and they can be transferred into anything sufficient to hold them. She's bound to have plenty of backups out there.
Not surprising, given how long she was able to survive in that future. She's probably got plenty.
So our first priority should be finding and destroying those?
Yes, but that's easier said than done. I doubt she's hidden then in plain sight. They're somewhere secure, and somewhere with a big-enough server farmer to house them all.
Alright, leave that one to me. I'll go online, see how many I can find and maybe we can cross-reference from there.
...What about bodies?
We should consider the idea that she's already bodysnatched more than a few, shouldn't we? If it can happen once...
I hate to say it, but you're right.
The good news is, until she actually hits someone with her flashback light, they're still themselves. Remember, there are three steps:
Infection by the algae, such as through contaminated food or water.
The algae creates new light-sensitive cells in the retina that connect to the brain.
Exposure to her lights, which alter the structure of the brain, including making it a copy of her own.
Someone could have the algae their body and still be themselves, they're just vulnerable to her lights. There's also nothing necessarily stopping her from doing something else as well, like just altering existing memories.
And we've got the algaecide, so we're good there. But, is it possible for someone who's already infected to be cured of those cells in their retina or whatever?
Yes, but I'm gonna need to make a new biocide for that. It's gonna be a bit more work.
But if their mind has already been taken over, unless we have a brain scan of how that person was before, there's nothing we can do. They're gone.
Alright, get on that as soon as you can. We need every precaution we can get and we'll need to clean up her mess as soon as possible.
So...any way of us all getting brain scans done just to be safe?
Maybe, but it's too expensive and it would take too long. We only have a few days to do this.
What about just a few of us? Like whoever goes after Shirogane?
That's...probably doable. We just need a plan of attack first.
Woo! I might not get all this time travel stuff, but I was paying attention there!

That Time The Mastermind Saved Kokichi's Plan From Utter Failure
Because come on, the irony is too delicious not to be talked about more. Are we all gonna ignore how Kokichi very nearly drove everyone to suicide in Chapter 5?
This is the group's reaction to Kokichi exposing the state of the outside world. His goal of killing everyone's hope to leave the school also kills all their hope in general. Not only does he crush their will to live, he kidnaps their last remaining pillar of emotional support and locks him in a bathroom to die of illness (Kaito). It's painfully obvious that with a blow like that, there's going to be some suicidality, to put it lightly. So obvious that I would think he wanted that if it didn't ruin his plan.
But Kokichi wants to ruin the killing game to the point there can't be another one, ever, and group suicide does one of two things (assuming Tsumugi doesn't also kill herself, because why would she): 1. either Kaito and Kokichi are the two winning survivors because the mastermind isn't really counted as a student, or 2. there's a class trial, one where all of Kokichi's efforts are put to waste, where he can't fool the real mastermind and can only pray he's not immediately voted as the blackened.
But then... Tsumugi can't let her show end like this. That's too anti-climactic. So she plants a flashback light with memories that unite the group to a common goal and gives them the will to fight back against Kokichi. The group lives another day, and so does Kokichi's plan that came a hair's width to failing. He has the mastermind he hates so much to thank for that.
#ndrv3#new danganronpa killing harmony#kokichi ouma#ouma kokichi#tsumugi shirogane#meta#doretalks#yes this post is a result of one too many critiques of kaito ''endangering the group'' while painting kokichi as an infallible genius#why do you ask?

Listen, I love Tsumugi as a character (in the 5 seconds of screentime she got) but I feel like Drv3 as a narrative would have been a whole lot more cohesive if there wasn't a solid mastermind.
Hear me out, one of the big debates in chapter 6 is if the characters have free will or not. So, what if...
The ch6 flashback light made any character ACT like the mastermind, and genuinely believe they were the mastermind.
I'm going to use Himiko, because out of the 3 canon survivors she gets the least to do, and if I make it Tsumugi there's not much of a point. But really, it could be anyone and have it make sense.
And then Himiko has to fight who she really is, against her false memories.
"But catgirl, what about Kaede" Have the in-universe audience kill her, using Kiibo's body, but him having no well in the matter.

Imagine- Tom and Jerry screwing up Tsumugi's game horribly. Like as soon as they show up at Team Danganronpa HQ, they're up to their usual chaos, trashing her documents, breaking the flashback lights and Motherkuma, everything. By the time Tsumugi gets the two caged and everything fixed, she decides "okay, I can work with this" and writes them into the script as a "these two are also There but they get executed early because Monokuma quickly gets fed up with their antics" and releases them onto the unwitting campus as soon as the introduction ceremony is over, with Monokuma telling everyone they broke out. Unfortunately for Tsumugi, Tom and Jerry somehow will not die no matter what she throws at them, and if they do, they certainly won't stay dead. Eventually, she just gives up and leaves the whole thing to its own devices, hoping that things will work out for her at least a little bit...
please it's been two years since i've had to use this tag-
If there was one thing Tom and Jerry were good for, it was causing chaos for everyone, themselves included. But the way killing games went, it was usually chaos for the sake of good, even if they didn’t know it.
Who knew how they managed to get into the Danganronpa headquarters, but Tsumugi decided to just write them in to make up for them trashing everything she’d worked so hard to create.
But the thing was…they wouldn’t die. No way around it. So she just had to hope that everything would go smoothly, since they went off the script she so carefully wrote immediately, unchained by anything.
And since Tsumugi was in a character role herself, she couldn’t exactly get angry at them as the mastermind. From that point, though, nothing went right, not even the murder plans that had been set into action!
Everything was ruined. Before long, she gave herself up; she was clearly no match for two creatures who clearly couldn’t be tethered to her narrative, as hard as she tried. It was easier to give into more despair than try to fight them.

Let's talk about those new snippets of backstory 3-2 drops.
This is a bit of sleight-of-hand from Tsumugi.
The interesting thing about the Flashback Lights is that they aren't prepared in advance. What we and, by extension, the audience in the middle-reality experience is made to feel like there's a history set in stone that's being revealed piece by piece. That's often how the act of consuming media feels.
But that's a trick of the art. We think of learning more about the world and the lore and the backstory as things being revealed. Things that have always been true, but we did not know them until the story presented them to us.
But when you get into the nitty-gritty of creating fiction, that's not how it works. Rather, these things are being established. They're things that were not true until the story said they are. Any details about the story, the world, even the characters themselves are malleable until the moment they're finally put to print. Before that point, they can be changed around however you want.
Hell, even after, there are still ways to alter them. We'll see that when Tsumugi retcons in a plot point later down the line.
This is what the Flashback Lights embody. Tsumugi has a workstation right here in the building where she can write the reveals to suit the story as it's developing, rather than needing to have it all scripted out beforehand. These lights grant her the ability to edit her story however she needs before publication. And right here, we see that in action.
The Ultimate Hunt was always meant to be a part of the story. She'd laid clues about it as early as Rantaro's survivor bonus. And, of course, they need to have their memories altered as part of the story because it's a Danganronpa game.
But this specific detail about everyone erasing their memories and hiding as high school students, yet somehow managing to all be hunted down anyway? Despite the fact that the whole point of erasing their identities was to hide from the Ultimate Hunt?
That's new. Specifically, that's there as a story patch to explain away the Monokubs' fuck-up in the prologue. They accidentally released all of their actors on-set without programming in their characters first. And they're filming this shit live. So the middle-reality audience saw that.
So Tsumugi has to account for that in the script. She needs to explain, in a way that the middle-reality audience will accept, what that was. Why were these characters, when we met them, ordinary high school randos? Why did they need to use a Flashback Light onscreen to become Ultimate Students? Aren't they already supposed to be Ultimate Students from the start of the show? Within the fictional story of Danganronpa 53, what was happening there?
The answer she came up with isn't perfect but it's pretty solid. She works it into the Ultimate Hunt and uses it to introduce the obligatory amnesia mechanic. Capitalizes on the Monokubs' error with style and aplomb. Not bad, Tsumugi.
Though as we'll see later, her attempts to wing it won't always be up to this same standard.

I was replaying ch5 last night and which got me thinking. The truth of the outside world impacted everyone really badly, right? Shuichi was so depressed he didn't get out of bed for days. I assume it was similar for Himiko as well, seeing as she was fairly depressed from the start of the killing game. But what about everyone else?
I think Kiibo probably had a similar reaction, considering his mood when they all finally met up at the dining hall a few days later. But I feel like it was probably really weird for him, feeling more depressed than he had probably ever felt in his entire life but his inner voice screaming at him to get up and move forwards, to always strive for hope above all else. But the despair of the outside world was so bad that he couldn't listen. What was the audience thinking, their stand in being so depressed that he wouldn't listen to them anymore? Not to mention what a terrible experience for Kiibo.
And for Maki, it seems like she was able to get up and move around pretty well. She was the one who got Shuichi to the dining hall that morning, and mentioned passing by the exisal hangar as well as finding the flashback light in the dining hall "that morning", so it seems to me she's been patrolling the academy for both of the days Shuichi was out for the count. I think because of her assassin training and her already difficult life, she was able to compartmentalize the end of the world really quickly, though I'm sure it would weigh on her eventually if she was given the chance to Stop Moving.
But the thing that made me stop in my tracks was Tsumugi. Did she have to Roleplay being depressed for two days? laying in her bed not moving to get the appropriate look but the whole time trying to figure out a way to fix the mess Kokichi had just made of her killing game? But having to be SO careful because Maki or Kokichi could find her if she tried to leave her room to do anything. Outside of the stress of her plans falling apart, can you imagine how boring that'd be?
I also can't really figure out for sure if the audience Knew that Tsumugi was the mastermind. Because if they didn't, she'd have to put so much more effort into her performance of being depressed not only for eventually rejoining with her "friends" but also for the audience. But this is something for another post.

Kokichi ??? Protag + Kaito Supreme Leader Talentswap
So we have a pretty clear lead going on in the poll right now. I'd be surprised if another choice manages to surpass this one, but if one does I'll get to that one next!
I'll start by covering my notes for the overall explanation, Ch. 1, and Ch. 2 of this concept; I thought I'd be able to do it all in one go but it's getting really long (both in word length, and in the amount of time I've spent putting this together!)
Let's get into it!
Preamble:
So Kaito has pretty insane influence over the whole DRV3 group (except Kokichi). I mean, after viewing the Chapter 3 Flashback Light, all it takes is for Kaito to say he doubts it for everyone else in the group to disbelieve it as well (...except Kokichi, because of course he doesn't care what Kaito thinks). Same with Kaito swaying everyone to use the first Flashback Light in Chapter 2. All in all... he's honestly pretty terrifying to me. And that's when he's supposed to be your ally! So with this in mind, I started thinking of a talentswap where Kaito takes on an antagonistic role as the Ultimate Supreme Leader!
In other words, the core concept behind this talentswap is: Kaito as Supreme Leader. Spoiler alert: he's terrifying
Now at the start of brainstorming this story concept, I actually did mention how "we can't ever have Kokichi as a protagonist. That just doesn't work, he's not protagonist material. It's the kinda lame thing Kokichi fans who like him too much do" and well guess what I am now
Jokes aside, this is probably the one concept where I could see a Kokichi protag working, since we'd need someone capable of standing up against Kaito to be our protagonist. The next best candidate is Kaede, I'd say, but she's had her chances (I came up with the Kaede Assassin protag talentswap before this one, too). Plus, Kokichi's talent (or rather, lack of known talent) makes him particularly vulnerable and forces him to rely more on others than he'd do otherwise, allowing him to be more protagonist-like, so to speak.
And before we get into things... I, completely on accident, set up this talentswap to be very self-indulgent. By that I mean I came up with this talentswap with my sibling Sebec and I started assigning talents and roles excitedly until Sebec pointed out "hey. Doesn't this basically set up your favourite ship?" and the realization led me to scream in agony for 30 minutes
So, without further ado...
Concept: Prologue + Ch. 1
Obviously we have the usual: wake up in a locker, meet everyone, oh my god killing game
Where things really begin to diverge is when Kaede starts trying to take charge.
In canon, during his free time events with Kaede, Kaito actually mentions that he would've started leading the group himself if Kaede hadn't beaten him to it. While she's alive, he's nice enough to not obstruct Kaede's efforts at least (although his peers bash him the whole time for seeming lazy for it)
In this talentswap, Kaito is not nearly as nice. Evidently, an Ultimate Supreme Leader with his personality wouldn't want to be shown up by any of his peers. So from here, we have a split in the group as they become divided into two; like a more extreme, exciting, and prolonged version of canon's Chapter 3.
Our two teams are as follows:
Kaito Momota, the Ultimate Supreme Leader
Maki Harukawa, the Ultimate Detective
Shuichi Saihara, the Ultimate Cosplayer?
Himiko Yumeno, the Ultimate Tennis Pro
Tsumugi Shirogane, the Ultimate (Makeup) Artist
Miu Iruma, the Ultimate Magician
Ryoma Hoshi, the Ultimate Anthropologist
Korekiyo Shinguji, the Ultimate Entomologist
Kirumi Tojo, the Ultimate Aikido Master
Gonta Gokuhara, the Ultimate Prisoner
and...
Kaede Akamatsu, the Ultimate Adventurer
Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate ???
Keebo, the Ultimate Inventor (still a robot, as I tend to do with my talentswaps)
Tenko Chabashira, the Ultimate Survivor
Rantaro Amami, the Ultimate Child Caregiver
Angie Yonaga, the Ultimate Maid
Turf wars!! Woohoo!!!
So obviously, with Chapter 1 comes the First Blood Perk. And Kaito Momota does not like the First Blood Perk. Kaito Momota wants an exciting killing game, with an exciting class trial. Thus, he decided to cause problems on purpose.
That's right! Kaito Momota engineered the first case by targeting the Ultimate Prisoner, Gonta Gokuhara. But he can't just kill Gonta because then he'd miss the rest of the killing game! Here's where the content warning comes in; do be careful reading the next two passages (please).
Unfortunately, Mister Gokuhara is very unaware of his own strength. As in, he is prone to manslaughter level unaware. He was raised by prison family! Sometimes they went away, but they always came back... (kill me)
Kaito, being a benevolent Supreme Leader who spreads the truth, took it upon himself to inform Gonta that he was a danger to society. And with this knowledge, Gonta took his life into his own hands; thus bypassing the First Blood Perk.
(I think??? this is dark humour??? god I feel like a sadist right now)
In the first class trial, Kaito insinuates that the culprit must be someone who wants the whole group dead, hence they didn't take the First Blood Perk. This leads Maki to point the direction of doubt towards Tenko, the Ultimate Survivor. Unlike canon's Rantaro, Survivor Tenko had full knowledge of what being the Ultimate Survivor meant. Alongside that, she shared that knowledge with the group. Maki reasons that the Ultimate Survivor doesn't just want to escape the killing game; rather, they play the game to win.
So from there Kokichi and co. have to fight back and reveal the truth, etc. Though I don't have details brainstormed for this segment, I would like to throw in that Kokichi's class trial gameplay would feature a lie detection mechanic; ironically, this would replace V3's gameplay element of lying, meaning Kokichi doesn't end up lying in class trials. Fun, huh?
I envisioned that you'd be prompted to pick out a statement as a lie out of a section of the trial's transcript, so to speak, but could pick many of the statements with only one being correct. Other statements would send you down winding branching paths, with some leading back to the correct path after detecting enough lies, and some being dead ends which might give a clue to the right answer. Kind of like extreme versions of the back routes.
On to Chapter 2!
After the first class trial, Kokichi heads out for a walk in the courtyard at night, as he is wont to do. For some reason he's really restless at night. Never really feels like sleeping.
Now, what Kokichi doesn't know is that someone's watching him!! That someone is on the second floor of the academy, and they are an excellent sniper. This would be the Ultimate Assassin, Shuichi Saihara, who used his skill in disguise to claim the title of Ultimate Cosplayer. Mister Saihara has been put up to eliminating Kokichi by none other than Kaito Momota. Our assassin friend figures he can just put a few bullets through Kokichi and call it a day.
So he shoots him once.
Kokichi seems rather resilient, though, and isn't knocked down.
So Shuichi shoots him again. And again. He shoots Kokichi through the head. He has to be dead now, he's even fallen onto the ground.
So Shuichi stops shooting and leaves to retrieve Kokichi's body, hoping he can hide it to avoid a class trial.
...Kokichi is not dead.
Mostly because he was never alive to begin with.
When Shuichi stops shooting him, Kokichi drags himself to the dorms and knocks on the Ultimate Inventor, Keebo's, door.
And y'know what Keebo says to him?
"... Y-you... are not human."
"Yeah, I kinda noticed."
Kokichi Oma is actually the Ultimate Robot, so realistic that he could pass for human. And Keebo finds that not only has he sustained heavy damage from being shot a couple dozen times, he is also low on battery. It's a good thing he figured out he was a robot before he ran out of power.
Apparently that's the most notable event of Chapter 2. I wrote in my notes that Rantaro was killed, but I didn't specify by whom; just know that it's someone on Kaito's side.

tsumugi is having fun using flashback lights to modify the personality, clothes and even body sizes (mostly curves) of girls in her class~ how is the new maki, ultimate prostitute~? She might sound cold af, but words around shes such a size queen her face turns stupid for any ultra hung (purple haired himbo astronaut) beast.
Disclaimer: R18 material! If not to your liking then please do not view!
"Hm...you dare come to me after hours?" Maki questioned coldly dorkish astronaut boy. She was wearing a dark red bra, black miniskirt and fishnites with kinky boots. Thanks to the new Flashback Lights that turned the V3 girls into essentially Ultimate Sluts, in addition to their usual talents, Maki - the Ultimate Slutty Assassin/Caregiver - saw an increase in bust size that had her tits halfway revealing in her bra and her ass expand to the point that she might as have been been wearing nothing given that her skirt wasn't covering up much. Kaito chuckled sheepishly.
"Sorry, Maki Roll, time kinda flew buy!! But I am here now!!" Maki rolled her eyes.
"Excuse, it just tells me that you want to--"
Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!
"F-fuuuuuuuuuuck!!! Fuck meeeeee, Kaiiiiiiiiiii~ Pl-pleaaaase!! I need that astro-cock deep inside meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Break this ass-sassin~"
Maki moaned out, her face twisted into a lusty smile - the same as she always gets when Kaito presses her against the alley way and fucks her ass roughly, both uncaring on the potential of other to hear her moans of joy as Kaito reveals why he's the Luminary of the Stars~

My big "Momota was sick pregame" theory post
This is very fast and loose but a theory I've been holding onto for quite some time, and wanted to organize it out in writing. Obvious V3 spoiler warnings.
Before I go any deeper I do wanna point out this is still only a theory and how I interpret Momota's character. Team danganronpa infecting a guy with a deadly disease for the sake of ratings and drama is totally within the lines of the post modernist critique V3 portrays, but I also believe there's enough evidence pointing otherwise as well. There's mainly 3 key points:
1: Momota's final moments
During the post trial of chapter 5, Momota goes over his actions throughout the game, motives for joining ouma's plan, and also that he's simply out of time with his illness. And as explains there's this particular line he says above: he doesn't remember how he got sick in the first place. If Momota was always meant to be dying from this illness, then surely there would've been some sort of foreshadowing to this with his ingame memories, right? Even a little push that maybe something was off during training. But even in his final moments when hes baring his soul, this one key factor is still unclear. The fact the "my memories" part is highlighted in particular strengthens this, along with the sheer confusion in his face.
Now of course, Monokuma tries to explain this in that the deadly virus was simply dormant during his astronaut training, not flaring up until much later. And while that's possible, that only supports my next point:
2: The rushed chapter 5 flashback light
The ingame explanation for the illness is in the flashback light of chapter 5, going over how the cast of v3 is connected to the hope's peak saga, and also tries to cover where that illness came from. All the flashback lights in V3 are a tool for Tsumugi to manipulate the game in her favor, providing motives and course correcting when needed. But chapter 5's flashback light is a bit special: its the most rushed, slapdashed one with tons of inconsistencies.
Tsumugi even admits to this in chapter 6. It was mainly damage control after Ouma took the game away from her. The virus explanation is also an extension of that, only showing up when Momota's illness was fully exposed after chapter 4. Now it is true that she was building up a Sci Fi plot over time, and meteorites containing deadly viruses would've fitted perfectly. But if his illness was always supposed to be part of the script, why not include that detail earlier in chapter 4's flashback light, where said meteors were introduced in the first place? Why only go over it in chapter 5, the one flashback light that Momota -the guy with the illness she's trying to explain in the first place- doesn't see? Its a bandaid, a way for Tsumugi to wrangle back control of the game, and that includes weaving Momota's illness into her Sci fi plot.
If there's one thing moogs is good at, it's improvising her way out of sticky situations and using them to her favor.
The final point is the most speculative and hinges on a certain interpretation of pregame Momota, but it's an important one nonetheless:
3: The Audition tapes
Now the audition tapes are already murky waters regarding characterization, there's room for doubt if they were edited in a way to make them look as bad as possible, or even be flat out fake. Personally I do believe they are legit, if a bit exaggerated. But regardless, there's a specific point in Momota's audition that always sticks out: that once he's got fame and fortune, he doesn't have to worry about what's impossible.
PG!Momota being a bloodthirsty attention stealing asshole is one thing, with his lines being a nice contrast to in game Momotas motto, but what's this "impossible thing" he doesn't have to worry about once he got rich? What could he have possibly worried about to the point joining a death game to win it big?
With these three points, this is where I drew my conclusion: that Momota was sick pregame. He had an illness that got in the way of his dreams, turning them into an impossibility and himself jaded as a result, and that he had nowhere to go except join a death game in the chances of striking it big and win, using said fame and fortune to get a cushy life, maybe even afford to get treatment. And if he doesn't win, then at least he gets to die in a blaze of glory, televised worldwide and reaping that post-mortem fame.
It also explains as to how quickly his health deteriorated. If he was already sick long before the game, and unaware that he was ill in the first place thanks to his implanted memories, then it would make sense how he already starts to cough up blood in chapter 3.
Again, this is still a theory based on a specific interpretation of Momota. It's still possible team DR infected him for the sake of the show, and the entertainment industry destroying their cast/crew for the sake of their craft is not uncommon. But I think the interpretation of a guy with a terminal illness going into a death game for fame and fortune, and the company running said death game using that illness for their advantage and trying to claim it as their own is also just as interesting and fits right into the themes of V3.
