Saiouma Week 2023 - Mastermind/Bandages

Mastermind Shuichi and how it'd reflect off Kokichi always fascinated me, so this prompt was PERFECT for me. So much angst material, so many what-ifs, so many thoughts

Originally this was like 4 pages instead of 2, with some inner dialogue from Kokichi and some taunting from Shuichi but I didn't really have enough dialogue ideas or visuals to justify that and honestly just these two pages killed me (especially the second one AGHH), this was actually the first thing I started on for Saiouma week and took me ages so I had to get drawing the others

A struggle was also drawing Kokichi, he doesn't typically let things on through his facial expressions and acts nonchalant but comics are a visual medium, so. I didn't want to have him OOC but I kinda had to and just own it

(Mastermind!Shuichi and Kokichi)

He could still smell the chloroform that knocked him out. His heavy eyelids opened up and his vision was blurry.

“Morning, sleepyhead. You’re finally up, Kokichi.”

That voice. Up until now, he felt happy every time he heard that voice saying his name. But now it felt like venom.

“Are you gonna ask ‘Who am I?’ and ‘Where am I?’”

He tried to move his hands to rub his eyes but immediately noticed that they’ve been tied behind his back.

“Well, you’re definitely Kokichi Ouma.”

When his vision finally cleared, the first thing he saw was two beautiful and familiar green eyes. Only they were now filled with insanity and intense admiration.

“And this place is… Hmm… I guess hell.”

Me and some of my friends in my discord server rewrote some of danganronpa to fix things we don’t like about it and now we have:

• mastermind shuichi (he is now a true crime boy and never becomes a protag)

• keade does her “protag is the killer” thing in the second trial (the last trial thing still happens)

•rantaro becomes the protag after this (had to change a lot for this one to work)

and more! Even made one for the second game where sonia is the mastermind and izuru doesn’t happen because it’s a bit unnecessary

just a cool au might write more about it later maybe even a full fic

Request: Shuichi Saihara as the Mastermind

Can you just imagine. Like the guy who is basically the sole reason you all haven't died yet is the one who is the reason you almost died in the first place

Shuichi’s plan was perfect. Nobody would be able to guess that it was the person who solved all the murders who started the killing game in the first place! It was flawless.

He had all the logic down, so not even the killers suspected that he might’ve possibly known more. As soon as he got a story straight for a murder, he knew which details he couldn’t have known.

The fact that he led the remaining students to where they were, not letting them get executed for guessing wrong, would only inspire that much more despair, since they did none of the work themselves.

Especially since he’d gotten the “character arc” he’d so desired before. They thought they knew him so well, thought he was just spineless enough to not do anything so drastic.

It was quite honestly the best moment of the season when he was able to reveal himself to shocked faces. He was sure he even shocked the audience, too! What a wonderful reveal!

"It's ok, Sweetheart, just give all that beautiful despair to me~"

I haven't seen anyone do Mastermind Shuichi with Saimatsu... And I wanted to see it.

How I think this would work:

Obviously, chapter 1 would follow its regular narrative with Shuichi and Kaede being a cute little team, and Rantaro and Tsumugi would end up as the Victim and Blackened. During the investigation, Shuichi would 'find' the hidden girls' bathroom door, and since Tsumugi went to the bathroom she's outed.

"You traitor! You said we'd fra-" Tsumugi's last words revealed the existence of a second Mastermind.

Of course, everyone is shaken. But at least there are two people everyone trusts: Kaede and Shuichi, who revealed the Mastermind.

No one believes their leader or the detective that assists her could ever be behind what's happening.

The rest of the game follows canon to a point, but with Kaede as the Protag and Shuichi acting as the love interest/Helpful person (ie: Chiaki, Kirigiri, Maki/Kaito). Kaito still pulls Shuichi and Maki into nighttime training but Kaede also joins for moral support.

After chapter 2 Kaede, Shuichi, Kaito, and Maki are practically inseparable. In your free time, you wouldn't find one far from the others.

Kokichi still acts as a rival but he keeps telling Kaede she's stupid for trusting anyone in this game.

Kirumi still kills Ryoma. Kiyo still kills Angie and Tenko. Gonta still gets manipulated by Kokichi into killing Miu. And Kokichi and Kaito still team up in chapter 5.

Kaito ends up having the fight with Kaede instead in chapters 4 and 5. She WANT'S to trust everyone but even Shuichi, her most trusted confidant tells her she can't trust just anyone. Sure he says her inner circle is trustworthy but everyone outside of their quartet could be the second mastermind.

Kaito killing Kokichi throws off all of Shuichi's plans.

He had always planned on betraying Tsumugi to get the ending he wanted. She was going to be the Mastermind his Protagonist defeated.

He didn't know how he was going to swing it but he was going to get Himiko, Kokichi, and Kiibo to kill each other.

Then he'd have his survivors: Kaede, Himself, Kaito, and Maki.

But with Kaito's death and Maki pulling Kaede away to talk plans to out the Mastermind he decides he needs to pull off what no other Mastermind pulls off: Despair needs to win.

Because every season the Danganronpa team tells the Mastermind if they manage to do what no other Mastermind has done, beat Hope, they can take any participant with them out of the game as a Prize of sorts. Of course, these Participants are selected beforehand so that their characters can be written to survive easier, but no one's pulled it off.

Somehow in chapter 6, Shuichi manages to convince Maki, Himiko, and Kaede that the Mastermind is Kiibo. That they have to vote for him so Hope can win.

And when they do they watch Kiibo get executed, and start a minor celebration.

"We did it! We can go home!" Kaede pulls Maki and Himiko into a group hug. Tears run down their faces as relief washes over them. Shuichi slowly walks over to them.

Maki manages to dodge the first cuff that comes after her, but Himiko isn't as lucky. Kaede clings to Maki as she watches Himiko get pulled back toward an execution room.

"Wha-" Before Kaede can even finish asking her question Himiko's execution. "What's going on? We won! You said we could go home if we voted the Mastermind out!"

"Upupupupu~ But you didn't." Monokuma's voice mocks. "However executing you one at a time gives you more despair." Shuichi grabs Kaede pulling her away from Maki.

"Maki-roll?" Kaede stares at her best friend. It takes Maki a second to realize what the other girl is thinking.

"No! Kaede it's not me!" Her mind races for any sort of Proof. "Remember what happened to Kaito? If I was the Mastermind you think I'd let someone I love die like that? We promised to make it out together for him!" Suddenly her eyes grow dark and train of Shuichi. "You!" Shuichi quickly dodges dragging Kaede with him.

"It's funny." He finally speaks up. There's little emotion behind his voice. "The plan was for the four of us to leave together... But Kaito had to ruin that." Maki is filled with rage now she lunges at Shuichi only to be caught by the cuff leading to her execution.

Kaede's hand reaches out to try and save her friend. But she's powerless as she falls to the floor.

She sits there for what seems like forever waiting for her execution to begin. Eventually, she hears applause from Monokuma.

"I didn't think you'd actually be able to do it!" Monokuma congratulates. "The team was very impressed." That's when Monokuma reveals the trust to Kaede.

None of this was real. She and all her friends were fabricated people mostly following a script.

"I meant what I said to Maki, you know?" Shuichi knelt to her level. "The original script was for the four of us to defeat Tsumugi. You and Kaito were supposed to lead Maki and me out through the doors into a new world. But Kaito just had to go along with Kokichi's plans and ruin that ending." Tears streamed down her face. "So I was left with one last option. I had to destroy hope and claim my prize as the Ultimate Mastermind."

"How could you?! We were your friends!" Kaede screamed. She was only met with Shuichi's crazed laughter. Soon it ended with a dreamy sigh.

"Wow. They may have botched Kaito's writing a bit, but they did amazing with you, Sweetheart!" He smiled. "I'm so happy though, I get to have a symbol of Hope all to myself!" He pulled her into the standing position and she started wailing. "It's alright, Sweetheart, just give all that delicious despair to me~"

My DRV3 AU in a nutshell...

During Daily Life, Kaede and Rantaro are rivals but during investigations, Kokichi and Shuichi the rivals but they both supoort Kaede. You know the Kaede and Shuichi thing but after they both prove Tsumugi's guilt, Kokichi thought they were cool and trustworthy, and teams up with them. But after Keebo and Tsumugi's deaths, Team Danganronpa pulled story ideas out their asses because they never expected that to happen. Kokichi and Rantaro become friends as an added treat for the fans of the characters.

Chapter 3 victim was Shuichi and Kokichi rises the ranks to become the Support but he was suspected of being the traitor and investigation proved his innocence. But Rantaro was the unwilling traitor. Amamatsu and Saiouma is very prominent and it ends with the game's theme of Truth vs Lies but infused with Despair vs Hope.

Shuichi with Despair Disease faked his death and becomes the new mastermind of the game and it turns out that Kokichi was the intended final hope but they broke the lore and tropes so much that the world is literally being destroyed. Amamatsu with survivors ran of the Academy while Saiouma has battle and blew up the school.

‼️Miu and Kiibo’s Mastermind AU: The Reveal‼️

The death order in this comic is different from cannon! This AU follows a “dual protagonist” system, which basically means the player would switch between Kaede and Shuichi throughout the game. Instead of characters like Tsumugi, Maki or Himiko being alive for the mastermind trial, Miu, Kaito, Kokichi and Kaede are alive. @swolfyxd and I have most of it planned out (even though we’ll never actually write it 😔).

Focus for the last panel is on Kokichi, because he would be the one that underestimated and dismissed them the most due to his own biases.

The idea for this entire AU came partially from the some “Red Flags” by Tom Cardy, so Miu’s mastermind outfit is an homage to the cocktail style dress worn in the music video.

Hope you guys enjoy!

I wish that more English Danganronpa V3 fans knew that in the original Japanese version, Gonta didn’t talk in caveman/Hulk speech. He spoke in normal polite Japanese, only struggling with the meaning of certain words from his lack of experience. He did however talk in third person but Tenko and Angie did as well. In Japanese 3rd person speech works and is used to make characters cute and childish. But in English none of this comes across and instead is just distracting. Its obvious that the NISA translators only kept Gonta in 3rd person to insert weird American humor into the series.

I especially dislike this translation because Gonta is one of the most important characters in ndrv3, especially when it comes to Kokichi’s character arc. Now, instead of being the sweet and naive entomologist who allows the audience to see beneath Kokichi’s mask, he is now seen as nothing but a joke side character.

Which not only ruins Gonta’s entire character but also makes Kokichi’s character and intentions even more confusing.

(No wonder people are confused that Kokichi and Gonta got official Anniversary wine together haha)

To make things worse, they also changed Kokichi’s character by making him more childish and aggressive.(even going as far as changing his sprites on scenes!) I’d say one of the worst mistranslations though was making his whiteboard have “trustworthy?” written below the photo of Shuichi. In Japanese it says something more along the lines of “dangerous?” or “untrustworthy?”. I really don’t know how they messed this up but it was likely because there was a translator who wanted Kokichi to be shipped with the protagonist. The translation error to me was strange because most of his interactions with Shuichi were negative so, to suddenly say that Shuichi was the only one he trusted would feel like a contradiction. It’s also frustrating because, the original whiteboard translation imo implies that Kokichi may have suspected that Shuichi was the mastermind which is SO INTERESTING and gives their dynamic so much more depth.
