Hm, in theme with other people asking about ships, what's your favorite poly ship of each game? I really like Makoto x Kyouko x Sayaka x Mukuro for DR1 (sometimes with Celestia and Chihiro added also into the mix, though with Celestia only liking the girls since I headcanon her as a lesbian), Chiaki x Mikan x Nagito x Hajime for SDR2, Syo × Komaru x Touko for another episode (because of course), and spoilers for DR0 from this point but, Makoto x Yasuke x Junko/Ryouko for DR0 (Makoto shows up in DR0 so this TOTALLY COUNTS; I have such a soft spot for anything that explores the Makoto x Yasuke side—whether romantic or platonic—because I feel like their dynamic could be super interesting), and hmmm. Actually I don't know whats my favorite for V3. I kind of like Kaede x all of the girls, Shuichi x Maki x Kaito, and Kaede x Shuichi x Kokichi, sooo... I guess if pressed I'd pick the training trio? Honorable mention goes to Yasuke x Junko/Ryouko x Mikan; since Mikan doesn't show up in DR0 I was hesitant to count it, but I totally love that ship too.

Makoto/Kyoko/Mukuro is one of my favorite polyships as well!! I don't usually go for ships that are one guy and a ton of girls, because most of its content inevitably ends up being harem-style erotica, which is...fine, but not my thing. Probably the only exception to that for me is Hajime. It's SO funny that every single person on the island is sort of dtf with Hajime except the One person he's interested in (Peko) and the token lesbian (Ibuki).

To go back to the question: I've already brought up my V3 OT5, so I won't harp on that again for the sake of brevity!

Makoto/Kyoko/Mukuro is definitely the fave for THH, but honestly, that's mostly in IF-scenario - I think the dynamics that evolve from that particular situation are so good and interesting. In THH proper, it's actually probably Makoto/Taka/Mondo. Oh to be just a lil guy with two extremely loud boyfriends.

SDR2 is probably a tie between Hajime/Fuyuhiko/Kazuichi (I love my survivor boys) and the Twilight Syndrome Girls. I LOVE the Twilight Syndrome Murder Mystery stuff. It would be my favorite case in all of the games if it weren't for the fucking rocks in the swimsuit. Everything about it caters directly to what I love in games and in relationships. Fucked up girls who commit crimes for each other and dark sibling relationships and moral ambiguity that can be twisted by a skilled manipulator (Junko) to become a rabbit hole of horror...one of my biggest complaints with DR3 was the glossing over of Twilight Syndrome. I genuinely believe that, in a better written world, it was the catalyst for the whole class' fall to despair.

It's harder to pick polyships for the anime and books just because they don't have as much to work with. Obviously Killer Killer has Fujigawa/Hijirihara/Asano, and DR3 has Chisa/Munakata/Juzo, but, like...I've just never really liked when a love triangle is magically resolved by polyamory unless it's done Really well. It gets too easy to use it as a magic wand without addressing the actual characters' dynamics and personalities.

Ok, so I know you like yanderes, a have made a few yandere au’s for MLB, but now I’m very curious about how you would do a yandere au for NDRV3? (Might just be me but Kaede is best girl as such my brain thinks she deserves deadly protective suitors 😉)

Well, is it one or two yanderes, or many?

If many, like my mariharem au, then we need to throw out the killing game all together. I love killing games as much as the next person, but the killing game takes away from the yanderes, if that makes sense? I'm a big believer in, the more life-threatening plot is the A story, and the less life-threatening character driven plot is the B story. The Killing Game is more likely to kill people, so that's the A story, and yanderes are actually less likely to kill, so that's the B story.

(I'm using life-threatening very loosely, because not all stories are as murder focused as Danganronpa. In more tame mediums, it would be closer to "challenging the status quo".)

So, if it's a harem situation, I'd put them in a Class 79 AU or similar.

We're assuming Kaede is the darling, right? Here's a list of the most likely to be suitors:

Shuuichi: love at first sight, blushy subby yandere, but he's not weird about it.

Maki: gives her a chance to be more than a killer, defends Maki from others accusations (probably more, I haven't played through their route in the talent development game)

Kokichi: she's super interesting >:D

Korekiyo: she reminds him of SiStEr

Rantaro: would probably be more of a platonic yandere, a big protector from other yanderes

Keebo: maybe? if she sees him as more than a robot, I can see those emotions getting possessive, especially if others treat him bad or Mui/any other tech genius wants to rip him open and look at his insides. subby

Mui: SHE FED SHUUICHI HAIR

Angie: she's not a yandere, but the moment people start paying a lot of attention to Kaede, Angie is plotting her death and that makes her the enemy.

Shirogane: I guess???? sure

This is not a group that would work together. they'd kill each other. maybe one or two would team up, but it's a freeforall murder fest.

Junko is watching from the sidelines like "I didn't even have to touch them for them to implode. :/"

If it's just one or two yanderes, I'm not sure how that would go. I do believe in taking them out of the killing game, but I love the idea of a yandere talking others into murder to get rid of their rivals.
