"Wait, is he an evil bear?" OH SWEETIE
No, he's *THE* evil bear.
YESSS
when the series mascot is also the MAIN VILLAIN
Monokuma ain’t no pink bitch
NO HE IS THE LIVING EMBODIMENT OF MY DEATH AND HATERED
Not-so-fun fact about Celeste’s execution: She wanted to be unique more than anything else, which is why she was smiling as she got burnt alive, because it’s a unique death, but Monokuma decided to throw one last dose of despair her way, and had her get run over by a fire truck. Getting run over by a car is one of, if not THE MOST COMMON way to die.
I think it's more about the "aesthetic" of hers than her death being unique. Celeste is all about dark, gothic aesthetics (girl literally wanted harem of vampire butlers), and being burned alive like a witch fits her ideal aesthetics. So she takes her execution gladly if it's serene and "elegant" like that, but alas, Monokuma ruins it to mock her and give her final taste of despair of not being able to die elegantly like gothic witch, but by car like common folk.
Speaking of uncommon causes of death, did you know you are more likely to die to a vending machine than a shark attack?
@@thecursed_1lordofcats738 Ultimate Vendor gets executed via Vending Machine?
@@thecursed_1lordofcats738 bruh how tf do people die from vending machines? Do they get their hand cut off by the opener thing?
@@linc54 simple. The want something but the item gets caught, they smack the machine and tip it over in an attempt to get the item loose, and it falls on top of them.
Fun fact about the bad ending: when asked what happened to Toko, Kazutaka Kodaka said "she just exploded somehow"
Very creative
@@sheiladesnoo8649 idk man she just boom exploded yk? It's so uncreative that it loops back around and becomes out of the box
Yep she just exploded, no reason given. just exploded out of nowhere, that's it.
That sounds like Genocide Jack pissed off Monokuma and Junko casually swiped left.
Togami probably put a pipebomb in her desk or something
"I'm going in this blind" proceeds to predict half the fucking game
To be fair,it was supposed to be much harder for the japanese audience(since the devs are japanese)
Because leon would be written with kanji not as "Leon"
But its obvious in english.
Also Leon is called by his family name "Kuwata" by the entire cast in the Japanese version, so Japanese players might overlook his first name.
(Yeah, his name on the wall was still written in English in the Japanese version, so it's harder for Japanese players)
I mean they could’ve written it in Kanji for the english version, would’ve been as hard for us as the Japanese players.
@@linc54 that couldn't have worked with the number 11047 plot point that carries over to the second game too. And while Japanese people can understand roman alphabet, many western players have no idea how to read kanji.
@@shincci you’re right lol im stupid
Oh last thing for anyone wondering, the pink blood is aesthetic not censorship. I'm not sure if I'm 100% correct here but I believe Kodaka has described DR as psychopop, which I think the pink blood fits pretty well on that "genre".
It definitely helps the game stand out with that interesting choice
first version of game which was called "Distrust" had red blood. In the end of the day it was censorship for getting bigger audience. Danganronpa 3 Future had red blood after all
@@dolgorukysvyatoslav4662 future did, but despair didnt.
its a choice. distrust had red blood, sure, but it had a completely different, more gritty aesthetic
@@Omnirok12 pretty sure the blood symbolically had smth to do with Junko's influence. Like I'm pretty sure in Future, it was the only game not hosted by Junko so the blood was red. Meanwhile every other case, Junko was the mastermind. Subtle detail that I like.
They used pink blood for censorship, but also because the bright pink blood contradicts the dark and grim theme of deaths and murder.
Asking Hifumi to please touch grass and sounding genuinely concerned was the funniest and most appropriate thing I have witnessed in a while
it's even funnier considering that he's stuck in a place with no grass
Always love how Crystaaahl always instantly predicts the plot even if sometimes if it's a meme
I must say that I'm impressed with how she guessed Kirigiri's thing this quickly XD
@@IZINA1997 it’s kinda obvious to me as well…
Once I just saw her aesthetic I was like “She’s a Detective”
I was shocked when I saw "???" But I still said after “It’s gonna be revealed she’s a Detective or Investigator”
As someone who watched the streams...she was not ready for the craziness.
And as ever, she would question herself over at least one person she got attached to (namely Byakuya). :V
NO ONE is ready for DR's insanity
Danganronpa is peak Japan weirdness
Man it's gonna be Akechi arc all over again
I KNEW IT WOULD BE BYAKUYA LMAOOOOOOOOO
“just looking at you i can feel my stocks plummeting as we speak”
😭
The point of the executions is to draw out despair in the executed. For instance my favorite execution was Celestes. Celeste wanted everything in her life to be gothic, beautiful, and over the top. So her execution is arguably one of the most dramatic and over the top executions throughout history, but what actually kills her is one of the most common ways to die in the modern world. Snatching the dignity away from Celeste probably made her feel the greatest despair she's probably ever felt and then she just dies. Leon was another good one. He HATED his talent so imagine how he felt when it killed him.
you know what i never thought about it this way O.O
And in the FTEs Leon starts liking his talent, so imagine finally coming to terms with the talent you're given and giving up on a dream(music) due to lack of ability, and then that talent you have is used to kill you in a brutal way in front of everyone directly after you were exposed as a murderer.
yh, i think in danganronpaV3 (*spoilers*)
kaede's execution was the best since Der Flohwalzer is a common 1st song for Japanese children to play, but in Kaede's execution, they did it on black keys to resemble that she's the blackened. also, since the mastermind knows what they say, the mastermind heard Shuichi say 'i would love to hear you play in a concert!' (or something like that)
and so they made Shuichi watch Kaede perform her 1st song to him, but also her last. (also how dam long the execution went on for, apparently 9 hours!)
Blind Danganronpa playthroughs are always a wild ride
I love how to anyone new to the series how insignificant of a puzzle the "leon" thing is.
You have to be Japanese to actually get how hard it is. 😅
Conversely, I do get a bit annoyed how many playthroughs get spear-headed with 11037 being a recurring joke. Comedy is fine, but jokes get worse the more you repeat them, not better.
I've seen people meme it through every game in the series, and I can only hope that any future playthroughs don't get their jokes overlooked because of one awkward writing moment in the first game.
It's not awkward writing. It just worked for the original inteded audience, japanese people, much better. And localization didn't bother to come up with something witty to make it less dodgy for western audiences.
@@yami_the_witch localization could've did it in Japanese kanji or something
@@awildnoviceappears
That'll probably won't work for the code's plot point in the second game.
Also, how many people can read Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana and Hanzi? (Japanese people don't count though.)
I remember having like 4 heart attacks the first time i saw "Danganronpa" and "CrystAAHHL" in the same sentence when the first stream happened,been waiting for this forever and I couldn't be happier
Despite the Title, Interesting Character designs and Monokuma the Psychotic bear pun spewing Bear this music SLAPS in Dangaropa
Says the person with the Teddie pfp
14:30 I love how Hifumi immediately died afterwards after that LMAO
And that last bit sums it up perfectly. I don't think many people think Danganronpa is a masterpiece of any kind. It's got plenty of problems you can point out, but at the end of the day there's just something about it that's a lot of fun despite all that, and that charm keeps us coming back lol.
Hope you decide to continue and play the 2nd game, personally it's my favorite in the series, at least story wise, and I think you'll enjoy it more than the first one! Glad you had fun
It's definitely no masterpiece but it's a competent game at least and if you expect it to be whacky anime bullshit and NOT a crime drama it's satisfying. Some people go into the DR series expecting Disco Elysium, and they end up disappointed
@@havokmusicinc in your opinion, danganronpa was kinda like my 1st anime experience and i loved it, even now i think dr1 is a rlly good game even if there are some problems with it
god im excited to see her reaction to the second game, in my opinion the peak of the series and one of my personal favourite games.
I prefer V3 myself, but yeah 2 was several steps up from the first game with some great stuff that I'm very excited to see her experience.
I agree, but we can't be too sure. After all, it's her choice in the end, and we shouldn't force it onto her
V3 was really good too tho
I don't play Dr anymore simply because I just don't like it but dr1 was always my favorite
Imo V3 is the most "shocking one" [spoilers]
With Korekiyo's incest whole thing, Kokichi doing the crasiest things, the ending with Tsumugi, Kirumi's execution which looks like one of the most painful tbh, just the fact that Kirumi tries to escape the execution, the whole case 5, all of that is incredibly shocking and that's what made v3 my favorite one
Idk about V3 because I haven't played it yet, but story wise, Danganronpa 2 is a massive, and I mean MASSIVE, improvement over the first and the characters are more compelling (also the MC, Hajime Hinata, has one of the greatest voices in all of the games thanks to the legendary Johnny Yong Bosch)
The 3rd game isn’t as good story wise but the characters are fun
i disagree the 3rd game story was just as cool if not more cool than 2s imo. one thing that’s consistent tho is the banger music 🎵
@@cpu8636 your right about the music I love how jazzy it is
V3 was fine as a story and message, but the problem is basically how it ended that puts in the divide.
V3 is great as well as long as you see it as completely seperate from the other games, as its own game (even if there are references)
I'm pretty sure Kodaka said so too
9:30 "How is he gonna die?" - somebody not expecting mondo butter
24:37 the moment the free time yasuhiro prophecy that he gave to makoto came true as his and makoto's children have the same mother *cough* aoi XD
I appreciate the commitment to going into all of these games completely blind. It makes all of the horrible stuff even better when it comes out of nowhere
First rule of Danganronpa: Don't get attached
I had big luck with first two games in which my favorites survived, but then in V3 they all died. XD
You always fail on that part.
@@shincci It was the opposite for me lmao, my favorites in DR1 and DR2 both died in like the middle of the game which is the worst time because it gives you enough to be attached then rips them from you without major plot relevance. In DRV3 all of the characters I liked lived a very long time though, almost to the end/in the end which I liked because even if they did die, at least they got more time in the main plot.
Second rule of Danganronpa: Fail the first rule
@@owlcat9644 now cry
Who is ready for Danganronpa 2 and THAT character?
There are A LOT of characters in Danganrompa 2 that can be defined as "THAT character".
@@arthurgomes5188 hope-kun
@@fernandomosquera3100 Oh yeah! It's gonna be a trip seeing her react to him.
Oh YES! I wonder how she will react to THAT character
There's a chance that she might like him, idk.
I think DR 1 is the best in the series at creating the oppressive atmosphere you'd expect, but for everything else, the rest of the series, DR 2 in particular, vastly improves. Excited to see you take on the rest! Detective Crystal cannot be stopped.
This. People kind of downplay how well DR1 sets atmosphere. That was something I really enjoyed when I played it that I didn't feel in the same way when playing the other games. Like DR1 makes you feel trapped in this dystopian murder fest that you kind of just grow numb to seeing as the playthrough goes on. Very psychologically on point for what it's trying to achieve as your brain spins trying to solve these murders and convict culprits to their doom in this never ending spiral. Psychopop horror is really hard to pull off, and this game does it really well. Mechanically, it is much worse than the other games mostly due to the difference in their resources/experience as a team and year it was created, but if it was created at the same development level as the others it would be incredible. Also, the murders in this game are painfully easy to solve except for like the last two (The 2nd one is actually also kind of difficult), but since I played it as my first DR game I was inexperienced with the deduction aspect so it wasn't as bad. There are a lot more problems with DR1 then DR2, but even though I've played all of them I still kind of like DR1 the best for some reason. I think it's just my personal experience with playing it. But DR2 is definitely the better game, and is super close up there with it for me.
Meh the atmosphere can only take you so far, DR2 and V3 is a fake good feeling everytime you walk into it
For me every game excels at one thing in particular:
Trigger Happy Havoc: Atmosphere and Story
Goodbye Despair: Characters
Killing Harmony: Gameplay
Yes ! I was thinking that while rewatching the first execution and seeing how dark oppressive and eerie the entire atmosphere is, instead of like other executions which even though they’re good, don’t have that same effect. But I completely agree! DR2 is my favorite game, however. It’s just too good.
25:40 I always love watching the reaction of new players when they hear the mastermind’s initial voice 😂😂 CrystAAHHL literally had to take a step back lmao
idk if anyone said, but Mondo's execution is actually based on a story about a boy who surrendered his clothes to hungry tigers and ended up being able to outrun tigers by running around a big tree until the point the tigers turned into Butter. the story is called The Story of Little Black Sambo. (granted, the kid was Southern Indian, and the story had alot of racial slurs and themes i think. it's such a old book. never read it, but i'm familiar with it.)
Crystal, can i call you the ultimate clairvoyant for how many things you predicted or guessed? Like, Chihiro's death, Celeste having a fake name, Hifumi dying (That was more of a wish, but you wished for it in chapter 3, so yeah.) and etc.
Dan from gamegrumps is also the ultimate clairvoyant in their danganronpa playthroughs, and he even looks like the ultimate clairvoyant
@@dafire9634 Yeah, true.
TBF, Yasuhiro's name thing is already questioned back in like what, the prologue or chapter one maybe?
@@dafire9634 I'm 80% sure that Gamegrumps used a walkthrough.
She didn't rlly predict Celeste having a fake name she only thought that bc makoto said it in the beginning
Heck yeah, a game where she can use her big brain theory skills to use
*Crystaaahhl calls Monokuma "Black and White Bear" before she knows his name*
... technically you are correct, Crystaahhl.
Also, I hope we'll get to see you play the next game in the series. It's certainly a step up!
Glad to see you pick the joke choices, when I played I never picked them so it was great to see the responses lol
11:11 yeah this execution is a bit weird, then again many are, it’s apparently based of a tale (Indian I think) of two tigers running around in circles until they turned into butter
"I don't know his name so I'll just call him 'black and white bear'."
That's what the writer named him too lol. "Mono-" as in monocolored, "-kuma" as in bear.
Oh damn I never even noticed...
This is one of those series that it's so fun seeing people play it for the first time (hopefully without backseaters spoiling it for them).
Honnestly, I love Celeste's execution so much. She wanted to be big, important, have a big lavish kind of living, and burning would work to hold that illusion, but then here comes the fucking truck, being what kills her, like every other accident on the planet. It's reducing for her and the last, ultimate shame of her life, dying an ordinary death.
I don't know if anyone pointed this out during the streams, but both Fukawa and Junko have two different VAs, and are both the same two VAs.
Amanda Celine Miller, and ... Erin Fitzgerald! AKA Chie.
Genocide Jill specifically is voiced by Erin Fitzgerald. Just thought you should know (if you didn't already).
And Aoi is voiced by Cassandra Lee Morris, who also voices Morgana in Persona 5. Even funnier, in Persona 5 Royal, Morgana in human form is voiced by Bryce Pappenbrook, who voices Makoto in this game.
@@ExaltedUriel
-Lady- Ann Takamaki’s voice actress Erika Harlacher voices Kyouko Kirigiri.
There’s a lot of characters in DR that share actors with persona characters, it’s great- Hajime the protag from the second game has the same VA as Yu.
@@snowyches9886 Yeah, it's great. Though I was more referring to the fact that Amanda and Erin share the voices for two characters in DR1, which seems like something that rarely happens.
I always find it weird how people use the last name when referring to the characters when they are speaking in English 😂 im just so confused like is fukawa and then im like or right toko
I literally GASPED at this notification. These games are so close to my heart. You are in for a TREAT.
It's a weird and happy coincidence that the moment I started Danganronpa for the first time , I find Crystaahl starting it as well
Thanks for dividing the video into parts based on progression , now I can watch without worrying about spoilers
You can see her whole streams on her other channel.
I just got this vid in my recommended and Im absolutely in love with ur energy girl... Legit one of the funniest reactions to this game Ive ever seen. Subbed!
Watched the streams and I enjoyed every second of it. I'm glad you had fun playing this game
Omg I LOVE that you’re getting into the series !! I think you’re gonna love it, it’s a lot like Persona in style and themes (:
I really think hifumi's death is cool cause at first you think it's a stupid cliche of hina's tears bringing him back to life but it ends up being evidence towards the case and him being able to remember celeste's real name also is peanut to rhe big reveal at the end of the game and I really think they executed that really well 😭
Man I love your reactions. They are so genuine.
The fact that she figured out Leon so quickly makes me feel like a dumbass.
Had a feeling you would play it!! And I'm happy you did.😌
HOW BEAR MONOKUMA TAKE AWAY MY BEARRIFFIC BEAR PUNS!
Yay!! I missed most of the streams and was hoping you’d post highlights to RUclips thanks!
glad u enjoyed the game and so excited for the other games!
Crystal no!!! Don't get attached!
ive been waiting for u to upload this lets go! i watched the vod for the entire first stream and got partway thru the second one but just haven't had time since to get through the rest so ive been waiting for you to upload an edited version and you finally have woooo! maybe ill get to the full vods someday, we'll see lol.
really had fun watching this, Im subbing
Finally! A game series I’ve played so I can watch Crystal play it!
I've wanted to see you play this game for so long because of your theories
Ay great Reactions! Let's get you to 100k subs!
So hyped for whenever you start Danganronpa 2!!
Glad you're playing this one ❤️
theres a game ive been thinking of seeing you play thats similar to the DR series but im willing to wait and see~
In my mind, and agreed upon by many fans of the series, the second game irons out many issues of the first. And in my opinion, the characters of the seconds game are even more memorable, and the game contains probably the best trials. PLEASE continue playing the series, it's really an uphill climb.
I just only found your channel a few days ago because of your p5r gameplay and goodness I’m addicted to watching you tbh lol. You have an incredible personality and you are a very like able person! You’ve gained a new sub on YT and twitch:D!
That reaction to the opening execution was all I needed to know that this will be a ride.
CrystAAHHL, lemme just say this: You, my friend, are in for a WILD ride.
Another series to have fun seeing you experience😇 🙌 also the streams where surfshark got an amazing amount of mileage haha any sponsors are lucky if they get you crystal 👍🙂
YAY IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!
this is the earliest I’ve ever been to a RUclips video
Danganronpa 2 is SO good and I can't wait until you get to it!!!
the way you say "oh my gawd" never fails to make me smile
can't wait for her to do the next danganronpa games
I stumbled across this anime a few years back and it left such a mark that I never forgot about how disturbing and hopeless it was, even the ending.
I knew this would happen
I knew sooner or later this will happen
All i can say is if you are going to go through all the games
Be ready for a wild ride
so this is the first video I have seen from this channel and 2:20 has cemented me as fan
The only thing worst than Celeste's execution is every Danganronpa super-fan who swarm comments sections with patronizing explanations about why the car wreck makes sense and that "You're just not smart enough to get it."
Didn’t realize how sussy the dialogue was in this game BDKDBDKSKSSOSL, but this was such a comfy playthrough I loved it sm
Props for guessing Kyoko’s talent during the first chapter!
If you liked Danganronpa, you’ll definitely want to go to the other 2 games. In my opinion, they really expand on the original and are better.
They really are
The 2nd trial was the most emotional for me 😭
I just finished Danganronpa 2, I'd love to see you play that!
everyone getting excited about Hifumi's death in chat feels like a bad omen of sorts considering the tragedy that would occur like. minutes later.
Oh my god I can't believe I missed this!
Hehe can't wait to see her reactions in the next games and probably danganronpa 3 anime as well
12:33
Celeste: "Great idea"
Hope to see your vids on DR2 soon. IMHO, I think the second one improves on all the different aspects of the first one.
omg crystahl finally plays dr LETS GOOOO
The second game is peak i need of these videos for that game
This game is amazing!!!
Hope (no pun intended) that the first Danganronpa game didn’t disappoint you too much but trust us, the first game is basically an introduction to DR, some stuff is so obvious and easy to guess and predict what will happen next and the twists, the blackened.. The next games are definitely improvements in the series and more enjoyable.
Yeah that's for sure
wuuuut? I thot crystal has done danganrompa.
I'm excited either way
Same.
Oh god, i didnt think CrystAAHHL is ready for the madness of DR but here we are now.
I cant wait for the second game to blow her mind
OG Ace Attorney next please!!! I think it’s been enough time inbetween that you won’t immediately compare to TGAA
I think she's gonna play the OG Ace Attorney either when she finishes with the all Danganronpa games or all of the Dark Souls games.
I love how you're literally wearing the Crucifix while laughing about Hifumi's pants.🤣
My necklace is the symbol for alchemy from FMA. lol
@@CrystAAHHL Oh...😳 My bad...😓
I like to imagine that Mondo was turned into butter because his flesh melted off his body from the electricity.
20:18 - Alter Ego's execution is made worse when you remember it can feel. The little detail of Naegi putting it in his clothes and it feeling "tickled" by it is the evidence. Further evidence shows that when Monokuma first hit Alter Ego with the motorized dirt digger's shovel Alter Ego winces in pain.
12:23 that scream. I felt that, on a personal level. God I couldn’t stand hifumi 😂.
Oh hey Timeless didn't expect to find you here!
@@etam8099 Hiii. Yeah I enjoy her content a lot. Plus I also love danganronpa as well
14:24 visible anger
Oh god... she made a pun, and looked happy while doing it.
God, am I gonna remember this!
Omggg you to got into the Danganronpa hole 😂 im playing 2 at the moment
this stream is brought to you by mondo butter it is so mondolicious and brotastic X3
Chat’s reaction to Hifumi “dying” was too much! 🤣
can't wait for the next games (don't worry, they learned from their mistakes and the next games are better)
5:13 can we appreciate the irony of mondo saying 'goddamn straight'
I just played through the first one, and I had a lot of fun with it. Was it perfect? No. Did I love playing it? Absolutely.
I wish I could erase my memories of this game so i can play it again! And the music....holy shit i forgot how ominous and creepy but hype this game's soundtrack is, man I have the collection on switch but I don't have any time to sink into a game I already played and I already know all the twists!
Anyone know when the second game let's play is? So excited for it
I started watching your stream yesterday woohoo
Ah, seeing people react as intended to the game is refreshing after others constantly criticizing it lol
The game actually does a really good job at tying loose ends, but does require you to stick around until the end; for example when Hifumi says Celeste's real name, people call BS since it's too convenient and isn't explained, but at the end you see they had their memories removed, so when Hifumi was hit in the head, his memories return, giving his words "I remember their name" a different weight.
Is the game convoluted? Yeah, it has a lot padding just to add playtime. Is it too crazy? Yeah, but it doesn't really take itself seriously in the first place, it's a living trope, tho the first game is especially guilty of being "anime" to a fault lol. In the end though, as you say, what matters most is that you have fun, and for games like this, it's best to just go along with the flow.
