Ngl when "junko" died in the first chapter it confused me because she was what I knew the series for so I was all like "I mean your designs cool but like why does everyone love you"
when i started danganronpa and saw the popularity of junko I didn't think she was the mastermind I thought she was going to be the winner of the killing game and that she had done the perfect murder especially after I saw her sprite with the crown
Nagito and Junko: Very popular both within and out of the fandom Chiaki and Kyoko: Very popular in the fandom, deemed best girls. Kokichi: The most popular character in the fandom imo. Like, seriously, Kokichi is e v e r y w h e r e
I don't think Canon kokichi is overrated, he's just popular. Now fandom version of him on the other hand... edit: this is just a notice for people, but please don’t mock people who ship saioma/ like kokichi. You are allowed to dislike/hate the character/ ship but I just don’t wanna start a war you know? Thankfully no one has done it yet.
@@lyon6607 the fandom just reduces him to uwu rat boy and that he loves Shuichi and grape panta. That's it, that's the fandom's version of Kokichi Ouma from Danganronpa V3 Killing Harmony.
@@kokichiuniverse7503 I feel like the original founder is the least popular due to how little he appears at all, Hifumi has a small following of people, while the founder most likely has none
I don’t know about everyone else but my favs are: Kirigiri Ibuki Shuichi And Monokuma cuz who else can top him- NO! Get that Nagito picture out of my face!
For Mikan, I think she has one of the most outright miserable backstories in the franchise and people really feel bad for her and wish to see her happy. She's a victim of so many different fucked up forms of abuse, plus she's implied to have been abused (emotionally, phisically, and/or sexually) for basically all her life, you gotta feel bad for her. She's baby, your honor.
Not as to try & discount to point, but the odds are, Toko or Taka had the most painful backstories, since DID only happens after severe, repeating trauma while Taka's backstory was considered 'Too dark for a _killing game_ '. Of course, Mikan also had it awful, but I just wanted to point that out.
@@emilianac4908 this is why I said "one of the most" and "not the most". It's impossible to measure levels of trauma/misery because there's a lot of factors involved in how certain events can affect people, but there's definitely some charas that have had it worse than others, and I think Mikan is easily up there.
Few things: 1. I feel like Toko is objectively the most popular UDG character because she is in THH and more well known because of her time in the main games 2. I think Monaca is also one of the most popular of UDG because of how much people love to hate her and how much, for lack of a better term, screen time her and Komaru got with the anime 3. I knew right away who was going to be on the V3 list!!
He's by far one of the most well-written characters in Danganronpa and as someone who enjoys analyzing, trying to understand him despite his insanity was a very unique and entertaining experience. He's also the 1st character that truly felt like a wildcard and I appreciate how much thrill that added for me.
I can explain why I love Ibuki without just waifu or kin; 1: Ibuki is a ball of sunshine. I absolutely love her personality and she definitely helps with an even slightly more positive mood on the island. 2: She is 100% herself at all times. I adore this in a character, throughout the game she is always herself and even left behind her old band so she could continue to be herself. she doesn't care what you think or say about her, shes not going to change. 3: the quote "'Cause...Hajime is already standing right here. I feel like you're someone who's willing to go far away to search for yourself... But your true self...doesn't actually exist anywhere. The person standing here right now is who you are. The person who's changing every day... That's you."
Def, he probably doesn't get as much attention because he's the short little weird looking character. I swear if he was a hot boy then the fandom would be drooling over him
People hate her because she's an "Aoi clone." I believe she's adorable, and her backstory is interesting. And I lowkey had a crush on her when I was younger 👀
@@flohwalzer definitely, she has the most basic design out of all the female characters I think they should've given her leggings or shorts with some kind of pattern, then a top with a jacket over it. She could've even had leg warmers or something a little ridiculous if it added to her design
I've seen so many comments saying how they got into Danganronpa and Imma say the way I first to into it was really weird. I went into it _blind._ And I mean blinder than most, I knew none of the character designs and I only bought the game because I heard about it once and once quarantine started I was like 'yEah SuRe I'm bOreD' So I got the game and started playing. Oh, I also thought Hatsune Miku was Danganronpa character before I played or knew about Vocaloid.
Let us take a moment to remember Leon, or as most people know, the meme, 11037, I literally never see someone talk about him unless it's making a joke, hating, or if I specifically search up a video of him, but then again I'm new to the fandom so I might be wrong on something.
Dude(I call everybody dude, sorry), you do NOT KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM. When I first saw him, I immediately loved him! But like yeah, nobody really talks about him and it's just kinda sad😔
@It' Gacha Iron Mine is DR1 - Kyoko and Taka DR2 - Gundham, Chiaki & Ibuki (love them all equally) DR3 - Kokichi and Maki We all have similar opinions 👌
junko has pretty much become a secondary mascot for the danganronpa franchise, it seems a lot of people only know dr thanks to discovering a junko cosplay on tik tok or something.
If I had to choose a favorite character it would either be The ultimate breeder,The Supreme overload of Ice,or Tanaka the Forbidden One,but it’s really hard to choose 🤔
I really don't like the antagonists. I appreciate them as good villains/antagonists and their backstories, but the way they act in game kinda makes me hate them. (Basically, it's a love/hate relationship for me with the antags)
ngl i love Nagito Komaeda but not even because im like "uwu crazy twink man" but because I think he's a genuinely good character who has a well developed personality and I love him so much
hes not a psychopath. he has dementia, which makes him seem like a psychopath. also hes popular because people feel bad for him, and he was the best written out of everyone in the series
Celeste is definitely one of the most popular ones but with taka i feel like everyone loves him but no one really talks about him or if they do it’s only abt him and mondo.
@@wowhi2836 agreed! takas one of those characters that everyone likes, but not as many people love. i really don’t like seeing people reduce him to a ship in most conversations, when he’s a lot deeper than that.
I’m pretty shocked at them not being on the list too I see a ton of praise going towards both of them especially taka, if this were the most popular dr1 characters in the Japanese fandom taka would have definitely been on the list
Yall when Nagito showed up I started laughing I- For those wondering I dont hate Nagito I think he's a very well written character but I had some flashbacks from the *memes*
Surprised Fuyuhiko wasn’t here. He honestly had one of the best written redemption arcs in the series in my opinion. But I guess he isn’t talked about as I expected. He’s one of my “Big 5” characters along with Miu, Tsumugi, Hajime, and Mikan.
Huh, I kinda imagined Rantaro would be up there. Since of his pretty boy looks, and his VA. But then again he died like *really* early on (my boy only has 3 minutes of dialogue-) so...
Celeste was my favorite Character from the original(with Taka in A REALLY close second and Toko in third) Celeste was also an antagonist And while I feel a lot of people don’t like her (likely due to her lack of character development) I honestly kinda find that refreshing as Celeste was an interesting character to begin with. Also her character design is amazing fight me.
I agree that Gundham was the best character in sdr2. (Peko and Ibuki are good runner ups) His whorl thing of Dark prince of Ice and Devas of destruction while still combing a good backstory and a decent character development made him a really cool character!
I do feel a bit sad that Kaito wasn’t included as he was my favorite character from v3. (The only people who I wouldn’t put in runner up is Shuichi Himiko Rantaro Kokichi Tenko and Ryoma.) Kaito was a really funny and really nice character. He had a good charcater development and his passion for cooperation combined with Maki and Shuichi training sessions just made him an all around great character
aight hear me out and fight me, my favorite characters from all seasons. DR1: Makoto, Celestia, Kiyotaka, Kyoko DR2: Nagito, Hiyoko, Kazuichi, Gundham UDG: Kotoko, Nagisa V3: literally anyone but Maki
oh! someone who also likes Kazuichi and dislikes Maki! I absolutely despise Maki, the only V3 character I hate more is Kiyo (and even he's a decent character, they just ruined him in Chapter 3.)
My top three (In no specific order) from the three main games: DR1 - Sakura, Kyoko, and Toko (Though the latter is only cause she got mega development in UDG) SDR2 - Fuyuhiko, Gundham, and Mahiru (Tbh, I love the entire Goodbye Despair cast, so picking three was hard) NDRV3 - Kokichi, Kaito, and Maki (Subject to change, as I haven't actually finished V3 yet)
havent watched a minute of this video but i think the most popular characters have to include Kokichi and Junko for sure. as for less safe opinions, Kyoko and Byakuya are very high up there, Nagito of course, maybe Miu.
Shrine of Hඒpe Well, I’ll just do it right now. The first reason I like Kokichi is his design. There’s really no point in explaining how good his design is, everyone should know that from the start- my second reason is that his introduction. He sounds excited and very happy, and that makes me smile a little bit. He got me worked up on his character when the introduction started. The third reason is his motive. He technically sacrificed himself, kinda like Sakura. He wanted to end the killing game by being the last death, and everyone else to be at least a bit happier. Unfortunately, they cast him out and only focused on Kaito, which made me extremely angry. The fourth reason is that he’s an interesting and well-written character. He has a great backstory to his past, like DICE and etc. No one really realized how interesting he was, it made you ask so many questions. For example: Who is DICE? Does he trust anyone? Does he really have bad intentions? Is he lying just for attention or good intentions? So many things. The fifth reason is his relationship with everyone. His relationship with Kiibo, Shuichi, Himiko and Miu are really great. Especially Shuichi! In love hotel, Shuichi wanted Kokichi to stay and he wasn’t uncomfortable by Kokichi unlike the others (not talking about Kiibo or Rantaro). Kokichi also had a big crush on Shuichi, it made me excited. His relationship with Kiibo was cute. It’s like a love hate friendship! Himiko is all right, but she gets a little mad sometimes. When Kokichi insults Miu and makes fun of her, it always makes me laugh. Her reactions are so funny too.
putting my favs down just because everybody else is doing it 💆🏼♀️ (in order) trigger happy havoc: ishimaru, kyoko, byakuya goodbye despair: nagito, chiaki, ibuki, fuyuhiko, gundam ultra despair girls: kotoko, nagisa killing harmony: kaede, kokichi, miu games greatest to least imo: killing harmony, trigger happy havoc, goodbye despair, ultra despair girls my ultimate favorite: kaede i’m so basic lol
I’m glad you didn’t call Kaede a support character because it really annoys me. When Kaede was alive SHUICHI was the support character and I feel like it’s just downgrading her character so much when people say that
Seeing Byakuya among the popular characters makes me so happy ;A; Idk lol I always thought there was more hate than love for him compared to the other two antags.
Kokichi is really popular and is personally my favorite but I really like him because I looked deep into his backstory and character analysis and overall relate to him on a deeper level. I don't like how he can be reduced to almost a different character in the Fandom but I'm not saying it's that big of a deal. It's not everyone and I don't judge interpretation but I just personally like him because like I said, I connected to Kokichi and it's not often that I see a character that is as much like me as Kokichi is (I'm a compulsive liar and have other issues from childhood trauma and I get being hated and not trusted by my peers)
how to be popular within the danganronpa franchise~! 1: you have to be a sociopath or downright insane 2: you must be an antagonist 3: you have to be attractive 4: you must be relatable in some way 5: your design must be unique and recognizable *oh wait, i just described komaeda*
Ight so let me state mine: V1: Makoto, Sayaka and Byakuya V2: Fuyuhiko, Teruteru, Nekomaru and Monomi Ultra despair girls: Monaca V3: Tsumugi and Keebo
seden T. i didnt say it was. i said it could become canon someday. as i said kokichi and kaede like shuichi. so its a possibility. but shuichi is unsure of who he wants to be with. all we know is hes into people with purple eyes, their name starts with a K, and they have white sleeves. (i just mentjoned 3 people at least with those features)p
Thibault Padilla I don’t even think that would’ve help. Sure he would have more screen time but I just don’t see where Nidai would fit in chapter 3’s case. Maybe I’m wrong tho
My Favorites DR1: Kyoko, Celeste, Byakuya DR2: Chiaki, Hajime, Nagito UDG: Monaca, Nagisa, Jataro DRV3: !!!KOKICHI!!! Himiko, Kaede (I really wish Kaede had stayed the protag ;-;) Just to be thorough DR3 Anime: only Izayoi
Personally, I absolutely love Gundham. He was the first person I heard of in the 2nd game because I kept seeing TikToks with "GUNDHAM TANAKA". But also, at first I thought his design was just cool but I really liked his backstory. He didn't have any friends and he felt as if he was a monster to the outside world, but he stayed strong for his mother, even eating her terrible food to make her happy. But when his mother died, he decided to become the monster everyone saw him as, even though he's not very good at it. His backstory is just really neat and simple yet he manages to be really interesting. (Also, he doesn't wear underwear?? Why????)
Taka and Mondo are pretty up there as well, but I think their popular works the same as what you said with Maki and Kaito. But people can love individually too.
Hajime (and by extension Izuru) is my favorite character in the franchise. If I have to choose my favorite character in each game it would be DR1 Genocide Jack, DR2 Hajime, DRV3 Kokichi.
The reason i love Kokichi SO MUCH i saw Kokichi everywere before i joined the Dr fandom Before i joined the fandom, i hated danganronpa because all of my fav youtubers started to make videos about it and it kinda annoyed me. Then when i started to play it i loved it and i wanted to see Kokichi right away lol, when i Got to the V3 i was so excited to see him, when i meet him in the game i liked his character and i expected more from him because he was very popular and in the trials he was literally a BIG MOOD he made me laugh every fucking time which made me love him SO much After the 4. Trial i was a little upset but i Just couldn't get myself to hate him *spoiler for Chapter 5!* After he died im chapter 5 i literally cried for HOURS, Everyone Said dont get too attracted to the characters.... Now i understand why 😭
I feel like no one notices the insecure miu theory. In the love hotel and even maybe in the maintenance you can see little soft spots for friends. And when kokichi insults her, she suddenly feels down. It's probably just me I'll leave now-
hey mandy! your videos are great, and this one was very detailed. i really enjoyed it. like every one of your vids, this really made my day, and it was a lot of fun to watch. please keep coming out with content because it really makes me happy. i love danganronpa but cant talk about it very much because of things happening in my life; you are pretty much my danganronpa outlet, i love it all. also, i fully stan and support you as a trans girl. im bi myself and its hard to get around these days like that (especially when you havent told your family yet *cough*). anyway, i really appreciate everything you do and would donate all of my (very little) money if i could. thanks you so much for just being a great person!!! :D
My favorite characters in DR as a whole are Shuichi Saihara and Kyoko Kirigiri. I really love detective characters and while they both share the same talent, they differ in their own experiences. Kyoko is more professional and experienced while Shuichi is still just "an apprentice" and because of a bad case, it's left him with a fear of finding the truth. I feel like those two are popular because of their status in their respective games and the development they go through. Kyoko becoming more open and trusting others, and Shuichi overcoming his own fear of finding the truth. They both work really well in their games.

I thought the same thing since I saw she was really popular but fortunately I didn't get into spoiler territory
Nagito and Junko: Very popular both within and out of the fandom
Chiaki and Kyoko: Very popular in the fandom, deemed best girls.
Kokichi: The most popular character in the fandom imo. Like, seriously, Kokichi is e v e r y w h e r e
You're absolutely right.
That is the correct answer

The most popular characters are Junko, Nagito, and Kokichi. They are the most discussed and most recognizable for people outside of the fandom.
junko has pretty much become a secondary mascot for the danganronpa franchise, it seems a lot of people only know dr thanks to discovering a junko cosplay on tik tok or something.
The last four notifications from RUclips have been danganronpa related. It’s a good day.
Dang I gotta sub to what you're subbing to
My favs Gundham of course!
damn sonia 😩😳
If I had to choose a favorite character it would either be The ultimate breeder,The Supreme overload of Ice,or Tanaka the Forbidden One,but it’s really hard to choose 🤔
I know, all of them are tied for me 😌😔
xX•Lucky's _Stuff•Xx You understand my pain 😌
Omfg me too
I feel like most people in the Danganronpa community love the antagonists. I know I do.
yeah but for some reason Byakuya is pretty hated. I think the fandom likes the crazy antagonists more than the normal-ish ones.
moth True
I really don't like the antagonists. I appreciate them as good villains/antagonists and their backstories, but the way they act in game kinda makes me hate them. (Basically, it's a love/hate relationship for me with the antags)
ngl i love Nagito Komaeda but not even because im like "uwu crazy twink man" but because I think he's a genuinely good character who has a well developed personality and I love him so much
Lmao some of my favorite characters in DR1 are Leon, Mondo, and Taka. Mondo and Taka are actually very popular but Leon is criminally underrated :')
I couldn't agree more- those are all my favorites too, and Leon is so underrated it's not even funny 😑
Who's Leon? Do you mean 11037?
@@redroman4214 ah yes, my mistake. 11037 is awesome 😌
Leon was my favorite from THH.
I feel like I'm the only person who's favorite danganronpa character is hajime
Yeah, I’m glad I’m not the only one. 😅
i'm a hajime kinnie soooo..yea
I feel like I'm alone with having Makoto as a favorite as well
I love hajime 💗💗💗
@@redroman4214 Makoto is a baby boy I love him. He and Byakuya are my fave dr boys
Why Komaeda is popular?
Because he is a psychopath.
QuartzZ yes
*Sociopath
Also true
He is cool
hes not a psychopath. he has dementia, which makes him seem like a psychopath. also hes popular because people feel bad for him, and he was the best written out of everyone in the series
actually because of how well written his character is and how unique. it stands out because there is no other character like him
Fav boys DR1: Mondo & Taka
Fav girls DR1: Sakura & Kyoko
Fav boys SDR2: Gundham & Fuyuhiko
Fav girls SDR2: Ibuki & Mahiru
Fav boys DRV3: Korekiyo & K1-B0 & Rantaro
Fav girls DRV3: Kirumi & Tsumugi
I see you are a man of culture as well-
Very valid
I’d argue that Celeste and Ishimaru are at least runner ups in popularity for Danganronpa 1. I’m surprised neither were listed tbh.
Celeste is definitely one of the most popular ones but with taka i feel like everyone loves him but no one really talks about him or if they do it’s only abt him and mondo.
@@wowhi2836 agreed! takas one of those characters that everyone likes, but not as many people love. i really don’t like seeing people reduce him to a ship in most conversations, when he’s a lot deeper than that.
I’m pretty shocked at them not being on the list too I see a ton of praise going towards both of them especially taka, if this were the most popular dr1 characters in the Japanese fandom taka would have definitely been on the list
@@adaon2282 oh yeah i heard once that taka was the most popular character in thh in one popularity poll
Yall when Nagito showed up I started laughing I-
For those wondering I dont hate Nagito I think he's a very well written character but I had some flashbacks from the *memes*
Why
@@ericadaniels8674 idk
even if you don't like him you can't deny that he is the most popular from the second game
literally half of my cursed images file are nagito memes
Kanye west he likes, fingers in his ass!
Don’t forget Celeste. I hate her but she’s so popular in the fandom. Arguably more popular than Chihiro.
i’d say chihiro is more popular but i agree that she is one of the most popular danganronpa 1 characters
Surprised Fuyuhiko wasn’t here. He honestly had one of the best written redemption arcs in the series in my opinion. But I guess he isn’t talked about as I expected. He’s one of my “Big 5” characters along with Miu, Tsumugi, Hajime, and Mikan.
Huh, I kinda imagined Rantaro would be up there. Since of his pretty boy looks, and his VA. But then again he died like *really* early on (my boy only has 3 minutes of dialogue-) so...
Yeah I see a LOT of people who like Rantaro and quite a lot of Fanart of him. Im surprised myself that he wasn't here
my predictions:
Ryoma Hoshi
Hifumi Yamada
TeruTeru Hanamura
Sayaka Maizono
teruteru and Sayaka SU-
Very accurate
TeruTeru is a bicon
How could you forget the Ultimate Imposter??!
they deserve more love
Celeste was my favorite Character from the original(with Taka in A REALLY close second and Toko in third) Celeste was also an antagonist And while I feel a lot of people don’t like her (likely due to her lack of character development) I honestly kinda find that refreshing as Celeste was an interesting character to begin with. Also her character design is amazing fight me.
I agree that Gundham was the best character in sdr2. (Peko and Ibuki are good runner ups) His whorl thing of Dark prince of Ice and Devas of destruction while still combing a good backstory and a decent character development made him a really cool character!
I do feel a bit sad that Kaito wasn’t included as he was my favorite character from v3. (The only people who I wouldn’t put in runner up is Shuichi Himiko Rantaro Kokichi Tenko and Ryoma.) Kaito was a really funny and really nice character. He had a good charcater development and his passion for cooperation combined with Maki and Shuichi training sessions just made him an all around great character
celeste should've gotten the character development she deserved, she was a really interesting character and they put it to waste
@@hiyoise Yasuhiro should've died instead of celeste, no offense yasuhiro fans but hes boring and doesnt help
@@lefttoe3937 i somewhat agree
Favorite boy: Nagito
Favorite girl: Hiyoko
Favorite ship: AmaGuji
SAME
My favorite girl is Toko
dummychEEse yay rarepairs
Wait, AmaGuji, as in Rantaro x Korekiyo?!
A human being that can breathe yes.
Why Nagito is so popular:
Idk
same tbh
Mood
Nintentoad125 Nico B is the reason
Because he is amazing :3
hes popular cuz he was really well written and a very interesting and sympathiable character
aight hear me out and fight me, my favorite characters from all seasons.
DR1: Makoto, Celestia, Kiyotaka, Kyoko
DR2: Nagito, Hiyoko, Kazuichi, Gundham
UDG: Kotoko, Nagisa
V3: literally anyone but Maki
i can't fight you
Why dont you like Maki?
oh! someone who also likes Kazuichi and dislikes Maki! I absolutely despise Maki, the only V3 character I hate more is Kiyo (and even he's a decent character, they just ruined him in Chapter 3.)
@@adentheartist2523 I personally only like korekiyo for the memes😂 (I honestly like/love everybody in v3 except tsumugi in my opinion)
I could list a lot of reasons I hate Maki…
"Wait a minute... Why is Junko so popular? Doesn't she like, die in the first chapter?"
People who accidentally ate a lot Spoilers without knowing it.
AY BALL MONOKUMA STAN LET'S ASSEMBLE-
AYOYOYO I'M HERE
Um everyone's listing their favs so here we go
Thh: sakura
Sdr2: ibuki/fuyuhiko
V3: shuichi
But by far most of my a/s tier characters are from dr 2
I guess I’ll do mine too lol
THH: Sakura and Chihiro
SDR2: Sonia, Gundham, Mahiru, and Fuyuhiko
V3: K1-B0, Miu, Kaede
my favs:
thh: byakuya, aoi,celeste,sakura
sdr2: nagito,hiyoko,ryota,chiaki
V3: kokichi,shuichi,monophanie.kiibo,iruma,
UDG: monaca,utsugi,toko,komaru
Mine:
THH: Leon and mostly all of them lol cuz I like THH
Sdr2: Kazuichi
V3: Kirumi, keebo and ryoma
And my UDG faves are Masaru I’m doing it like the top above me lol
My top three (In no specific order) from the three main games:
DR1 - Sakura, Kyoko, and Toko (Though the latter is only cause she got mega development in UDG)
SDR2 - Fuyuhiko, Gundham, and Mahiru (Tbh, I love the entire Goodbye Despair cast, so picking three was hard)
NDRV3 - Kokichi, Kaito, and Maki (Subject to change, as I haven't actually finished V3 yet)
havent watched a minute of this video but i think the most popular characters have to include Kokichi and Junko for sure. as for less safe opinions, Kyoko and Byakuya are very high up there, Nagito of course, maybe Miu.
Best girls: Toko, Kyoko, Chiaki, Peko, Maki, Himiko. Though I really love Angie's design and wish she were a more fleshed out character.
Ishimaru is heavily Underrated
Idk why he would be, his character is pretry simple and straightforward
FACTS he is the best character in the whole game in my opinion 💅😔
He's not underrated, the whole fandom loves him
@@lefttoe3937 he kinda is in my opinion maybe cause of how his short ark ended
not heavily, but im really happy most of the fandom really likes him bc i can relate to him
My favorite character is Kokichi- but I only explain thoroughly when people ask.
Kokichi doesnt have a reason to be an asshole thoo
@@fishheartss Ikr /:
Shrine of Hඒpe Well, I’ll just do it right now. The first reason I like Kokichi is his design. There’s really no point in explaining how good his design is, everyone should know that from the start- my second reason is that his introduction. He sounds excited and very happy, and that makes me smile a little bit. He got me worked up on his character when the introduction started. The third reason is his motive. He technically sacrificed himself, kinda like Sakura. He wanted to end the killing game by being the last death, and everyone else to be at least a bit happier. Unfortunately, they cast him out and only focused on Kaito, which made me extremely angry. The fourth reason is that he’s an interesting and well-written character. He has a great backstory to his past, like DICE and etc. No one really realized how interesting he was, it made you ask so many questions. For example: Who is DICE? Does he trust anyone? Does he really have bad intentions? Is he lying just for attention or good intentions? So many things. The fifth reason is his relationship with everyone. His relationship with Kiibo, Shuichi, Himiko and Miu are really great. Especially Shuichi! In love hotel, Shuichi wanted Kokichi to stay and he wasn’t uncomfortable by Kokichi unlike the others (not talking about Kiibo or Rantaro). Kokichi also had a big crush on Shuichi, it made me excited. His relationship with Kiibo was cute. It’s like a love hate friendship! Himiko is all right, but she gets a little mad sometimes. When Kokichi insults Miu and makes fun of her, it always makes me laugh. Her reactions are so funny too.
seden T. Kokichi can be bad but, like, he’s not awful?
LeMemerz Huh? I didn’t say anything about nagito?
4:55
I can testify for that:
Nagito was the first ever character I saw before I even knew what "Danganronpa" was. Followed by Junko
putting my favs down just because everybody else is doing it 💆🏼♀️
(in order)
trigger happy havoc: ishimaru, kyoko, byakuya
goodbye despair: nagito, chiaki, ibuki, fuyuhiko, gundam
ultra despair girls: kotoko, nagisa
killing harmony: kaede, kokichi, miu
games greatest to least imo: killing harmony, trigger happy havoc, goodbye despair, ultra despair girls
my ultimate favorite: kaede
i’m so basic lol
i feel like my top five are:
5. kaede
4. sonia
3. toko
2. chiaki
1. kyoko
BAM
I’m glad you didn’t call Kaede a support character because it really annoys me. When Kaede was alive SHUICHI was the support character and I feel like it’s just downgrading her character so much when people say that
Seeing Byakuya among the popular characters makes me so happy ;A; Idk lol I always thought there was more hate than love for him compared to the other two antags.

Exact order as well!
USS Arizona you have great taste
* consent * I AGREE WITH THAT! Kazuichi Soda is my little shark boy! Idk why, he's just so ahshdj I can't explain, you get me??
xX•Lucky's _Stuff•Xx
Haha yes I get you
Kokichi is really popular and is personally my favorite but I really like him because I looked deep into his backstory and character analysis and overall relate to him on a deeper level. I don't like how he can be reduced to almost a different character in the Fandom but I'm not saying it's that big of a deal. It's not everyone and I don't judge interpretation but I just personally like him because like I said, I connected to Kokichi and it's not often that I see a character that is as much like me as Kokichi is (I'm a compulsive liar and have other issues from childhood trauma and I get being hated and not trusted by my peers)
Byakuya will forever be my favorite. And that’s that.
Byakuya’s my favorite! He’s so awesome.
My second favorite is Makoto, because he’s a precious cinnamon roll and I love him.
AGREE SO MUCH
how to be popular within the danganronpa franchise~!
1: you have to be a sociopath or downright insane
2: you must be an antagonist
3: you have to be attractive
4: you must be relatable in some way
5: your design must be unique and recognizable
*oh wait, i just described komaeda*
DanganRonpa: *making Antagonists:Kokichi,Nagito & Byakuya*
Community: And that's what we need
My faves in each game since everyone is doing it:

Goodbye despair: Nagito, Chiaki, Ibuki, Fuyuhiko, Gundham

“The Saimatsu ship is really popular.”
**objects in Saiouma**
both could be canon. kokichi and kaede like shuichi a lot
@@thelivingliver6715 saiouma cant be canon.
seden T.
i didnt say it was. i said it could become canon someday. as i said kokichi and kaede like shuichi. so its a possibility. but shuichi is unsure of who he wants to be with. all we know is hes into people with purple eyes, their name starts with a K, and they have white sleeves. (i just mentjoned 3 people at least with those features)p

The Living Liver shuichi do be bein a bicon tho 😌
My favs are mahiru, chihiro, chiaki, monokuma (pupupupu), monophanie, fuyuhiko, sonia, hajime, toko, peko
Nekomaru Nidai is the most underated Danganronpa character.
Thibault Padilla I think he would’ve been way more popular if he won the fight against gundham
@@mburremerald2027 Or if he was present in the chapter 3 class trial...
Thibault Padilla I don’t even think that would’ve help. Sure he would have more screen time but I just don’t see where Nidai would fit in chapter 3’s case. Maybe I’m wrong tho
@@mburremerald2027 I do agree with you. But i still wished he has more screentime because he is my favorite character in the danganronpa franchise.
My Favorites
DR1: Kyoko, Celeste, Byakuya
DR2: Chiaki, Hajime, Nagito
UDG: Monaca, Nagisa, Jataro
DRV3: !!!KOKICHI!!! Himiko, Kaede (I really wish Kaede had stayed the protag ;-;)
Just to be thorough
DR3 Anime: only Izayoi
Personally, I absolutely love Gundham. He was the first person I heard of in the 2nd game because I kept seeing TikToks with "GUNDHAM TANAKA". But also, at first I thought his design was just cool but I really liked his backstory. He didn't have any friends and he felt as if he was a monster to the outside world, but he stayed strong for his mother, even eating her terrible food to make her happy. But when his mother died, he decided to become the monster everyone saw him as, even though he's not very good at it. His backstory is just really neat and simple yet he manages to be really interesting.
(Also, he doesn't wear underwear?? Why????)
Kokichi is like.all.i hear about and honestly I'm here for it I just love him.same with nagito i love them
Junk isn’t ONE of the most popular Danganronpa characters of all time she IS the most popular Danganronpa character of all time
You should do a video on danganronpa ships I think that would be a great video idea
Honestly tho Kokichi best antagonist (in my opinion) he is also my favorite character
Taka and Mondo are pretty up there as well, but I think their popular works the same as what you said with Maki and Kaito. But people can love individually too.
I had to search so far down in the comment section to find this comment. Yes, 100% agree.
Makoto and Nagito are my favourite two characters in Danganronpa
Finally found someone like me who likes both nagito and makoto

He is so underrated😢
The reason i love Kokichi SO MUCH
i saw Kokichi everywere before i joined the Dr fandom
Before i joined the fandom, i hated danganronpa because all of my fav youtubers started to make videos about it and it kinda annoyed me. Then when i started to play it i loved it and i wanted to see Kokichi right away lol, when i Got to the V3 i was so excited to see him, when i meet him in the game i liked his character and i expected more from him because he was very popular and in the trials he was literally a BIG MOOD he made me laugh every fucking time which made me love him SO much
After the 4. Trial i was a little upset but i Just couldn't get myself to hate him
*spoiler for Chapter 5!*
After he died im chapter 5 i literally cried for HOURS, Everyone Said dont get too attracted to the characters.... Now i understand why 😭
I feel like no one notices the insecure miu theory.
In the love hotel and even maybe in the maintenance you can see little soft spots for friends. And when kokichi insults her, she suddenly feels down.
It's probably just me I'll leave now-
hey mandy! your videos are great, and this one was very detailed. i really enjoyed it. like every one of your vids, this really made my day, and it was a lot of fun to watch. please keep coming out with content because it really makes me happy. i love danganronpa but cant talk about it very much because of things happening in my life; you are pretty much my danganronpa outlet, i love it all. also, i fully stan and support you as a trans girl. im bi myself and its hard to get around these days like that (especially when you havent told your family yet *cough*). anyway, i really appreciate everything you do and would donate all of my (very little) money if i could. thanks you so much for just being a great person!!! :D

Geto XD
@@ericadaniels8674 the g word 😳😳
I see Leon in the thumbnail........ thanks
Ok let me just say this…
Fuyuhiko’s character development was the best development I’ve ever seen before soooo
My favorite characters in DR as a whole are Shuichi Saihara and Kyoko Kirigiri. I really love detective characters and while they both share the same talent, they differ in their own experiences. Kyoko is more professional and experienced while Shuichi is still just "an apprentice" and because of a bad case, it's left him with a fear of finding the truth.
I feel like those two are popular because of their status in their respective games and the development they go through. Kyoko becoming more open and trusting others, and Shuichi overcoming his own fear of finding the truth. They both work really well in their games.
