Here's the piece I did to accompany @naometry's BM Joker fic, The Dancing Puppet, for the @traitorszine !! Thank you so much for doing this with me Nao, it was a awesome working with you on this AU (⌒▽⌒)♡
So I think Danganronpa V3 is about corporation corruption.
I mean, the game is about a killing game being broadcasted to the whole world. There are cameras everywhere and the characters are like actors on a set. (With their memories altered to fit whatever role they are playing.) I mean there were auditions, a setting enclosed from the public and the meteor explanation is something out of a sci-fi set. (Which was executed poorly in my opinion. I'm glad that wasn't real.)
So in the end Shuichi is fighting the corporation itself that turns their slaughter into media for the public to consume. Shirogane blame the public for wanting to watch the showdown between Despair and Hope over and again, which was supposed to be a meta reference to us the audience. (Again, wasn't done too well. I was mostly confused. But it works to put you in a suspense of disbelief.) But I think it was the fault of the corporation itself that saw a game where teenagers were being forced to kill each other and decided to reenact it around, sorry if my math is wrong, fifty times. Fifty times! That would be around 800 teens killed in the name of entertainment! That is so not fair! And cruel!
It was turned it a world wide popular TV show in that universe. The people there are really twisted to want to see teens fighting for their lives. Do none of them watch in horror and just want to see them home safe with their families? Is the corporation who makes the show lying about some details of the show to make sure they don't get shut down? They do kidnap the 'actors' to get the ball rolling.
How long does each killing game last? Ten weeks? Five? So how old is Shirogane if she was there for 50 killing games? She would probably be older than most of the kids participating.
Also for the people participating, we know nothing about their pre-game selves. For all we know, some of them could actually be adults instead of teens. Wait...if there is a criteria for joining, it would be anyone from 15 to 17 which is so much worse! There are teens agreeing to kill each other and be slaughtered.
Why isn't there anyone in that world protesting the killing game? Someone should. Maybe start and activist group...
Something tickles at the back of Chuuya's awareness.
He turns to look over his shoulder only to be met with the muzzle of a gun pressed into his cheek. Even before his ability is nullified, replaced by a great sweeping emptiness he's intimately familiar with, he knows who it is. "Dazai." The detective hisses out in mild shock, uneasy at such an inopportune reunion. "Ah. So you do remember me." Is the chirped response, tone deceptively cheerful. He can't quite see his ex-partner, Dazai making sure to stay just out of line of sight, a boundary enforced by his weapon. The safety of the gun clicks off and Chuuya tenses, fully aware of how vulnerable he is without his ability. "And here I thought you must have forgot. Considering the way you-" "Dazai-kun." Mori cuts in with a cold and cutting one word command. "Mori-sensei." The mafia boss smirks at his unruly executive."I remember ordering you to be elsewhere?" [ ] Dazai walks past him, head ducked just enough for his fringe to shield his eyes, [ ] Around Dazai's throat, over a thinner layer of bandages than he remembered, sits his choker. The one he left lying on his kitchen bar [inplace] of metal lined hat.
