Examining Ronpa and Friends' Perfect Storm

- A lot of stories have an impactful mid-to-late-stage plot point that's remembered well, and for Danganronpa that usually means the fourth trial. Ronpa and Friends takes that concept and delivers a memorable turning point, and I hope to explain the full depth of it, as well as how it came to be.

Damn. You have an amazing eye for detail and critique.
RnF chapter 4 is one of my all-time favorites, and I'm really surprised to see a deep dive on it (or rnf at all.) Chip's story arc is one that never changed from the initial first draft, and I think it's one of my best yet.
Some things I wanna comment on:
The motive for chapter 4 was intentionally similar to chapter 1's- it was supposed to be a joke about the Disney Afternoon shows and how they usually repeated plots between the shows (body-swap episodes, locked out of house episodes, etc.) the bit fell flat because I realized that in my effort to make it interesting I ended up making it too unrelated to chapter 1's.
I'm so glad you caught onto the parallels with Gyro and Fenton vs Chip and Dale with the whole "Sidekick" idea, especially with how it relates to Fenton's personal view of himself.
I actually didn't intend for the metaphor with Chip and Dales execution, but that's really cool damn
I'm sure there's other things I'll think of later and shove in the comments of this comment, but all-in-all, amazing work! It was so interesting to see an analysis of work I did years and years ago. Gonna go watch through your channel now
Glad you enjoyed it, Spade, and thanks for watching! I don't think I touched *directly* on how Fenton views himself, but I will say rewatching everything up to the end of Chapter 5 in preparation for this video made me appreciate his character in a new way. I did like him the first time around, but the rewatch made me notice just how much he actually does. And yeah, Chip and Dale have a lot of symbolism, intentional or not, and I really liked that.
Hope you enjoy the other stuff I've put out! RnF is a large focus of another video I did, and wherever your head is at with writing these days, I think you should know you put out something special. I was engaged with this stuff even without knowing who a good chunk of the cast was!
Hey love your work is Rnf rerun cancelled or just hiatused?
Omg it’s Spade!! RnF is to this day one of my favorite Fangans! Such great characterization, extremely well balanced cast, and some great mysteries!
😊
You know what I love about Ronpa and Friends? It's that when they confronted the Mastermind there was no "hope speech"
they just went "man we're gonna beat your ass"
Pretty much, yeah.
NO WAY my sister and I were JUST talking about how much we miss Ronpa and Friends!!! This is such a great, in-depth analysis and it’s really making me hope RnF comes off of hiatus someday so we can see more from this writer ;w;
That was awesome! I always love your analysis videos, and I hope the Ronpa and Friends creator sees this too!
Thanks, Wince! Glad to see you enjoyed it! I'd love that, too, especially after seeing Tofu give a bit of insight into their thoughts on parts of Penguinronpa.
@@Korlinium2oftentimes, I see fanworks like this merely be watched/read/listened to and then moved on from, and while any type of support is lovely (even knowing just one person read/watched/listneed to your work is great), it's really awesome to see someone go into such a deep dive not just once, but multiple times just is amazing to see, especially considering that Ronpa and friends ended years ago. It's a wonderful reminder that this work still exists and is still moving viewers even after all this time
Yeah, I agree. I like to see these videos as part critique/analysis, and part writing workshop (especially the one about the different intros). When you're doing writing, or any creative field, I think it's important to have that kind of community around you, however small, to help build you up and inspire you to keep going. It's a huge part of why I started making these; even if only one person saw this and found something they could use in their writing, fangan or not, I'd call that a success. :)
Whoever made a Disney and DanganaRopa crossover is a fucking legend
omg i loved this video... these sorts of like in-depth fangan analyses are just what i need to scratch that perfect itch in my brain lmao. keep it up, this video was good!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Chip is easily my favorite character from this really amazing fangan so I'm super glad to see someone so obviously intelligent and talented discuss it!! 😍😍
Thank you for covering Ronpaandfriends in 2024 wallahi you cooked
A 30 minute analysis on one of my favourite fangans????? Am I dreaming???????
11:07 this part specifically always hurts, it’s so cute I just wish he managed to get out and didn’t give into the pressure
Bro is so underrated
I LOVE RONPAANDFRIENDS SO MUCH IM SO HAPPY TO SEE IT BEING TALKED ABOUT IN 2024!!!!!!
Looks like I just found myself a cool and dope analysis for fangans
Really good video. Loved your analysis.
Thanks for watching!
Ronpa and friends mentioned??? In 2024???? PEAK. I would love to see more videos from ya!🙏😭
I love your analysis so much please do whatever you’d like
What a cool chapter, and sad but cool
Man I need to reread this amazing fangan again
Ronpa and friends!? In 2024
Why not? XD
Nah no body is going to talk about that meme reference in the thumbnail on the top right😂😂😂
One thing you didn't mention, but I noticed, is that after Dale's execution, the blood on Chip's body is not pink as it is normally shown, but pure red.
I don't know if this was the author's intention, but I think this was to show how terrifying Dale's death was for the characters, because at the end of the day, he was just a kid who was scared of dying
FANGANS IN THE BIG 2024..
beings a tear to my eye...
Wait someone made a fanganrompa series using ducktales characters!?!?
Disney characters, but yes.
dude this video is so good i love ronpa and friends, you think you could cover cupheadronpa at some point? genuinely one of my favorite fangans that i never see talked about and one of the
I can't make any promises, but I'll keep it in mind. Past any planned videos I have, it'll likely come down to if I can find anything to say about it that I haven't said about other fangans. Thanks for your support!
Cool!
Love Danganronpa, even made some custom executions in Minecraft for a Rp
I never knew about this fangan.
love found family dynamics
Ink?
You’re not talking about who I think you’re talking about, are you?
I'm not sure; what do you mean by ink?
@@Korlinium2 Bendy.
ive never watched anything danganronpa in my life im so invested what????? Huh??????? What??????
Dude, could you make a video talking about Teruko from "Danganronpa Despair Time"? She's my favorite protagonist and it's sad that almost no one talks about her
I don't take requests, but I'll keep that in mind.
@Korlinium2 Well, if you kept that idea in mind, technically you got my request.
👍😊
How did I get here
Any plans on covering Eden’s Garden?👀
No promises, but it is on my radar. Right now, I don't usually get into more fangans unless they're finished, and I also have a roadmap for the near future of what I'd like to cover.

Hehehehehehe...
Why do you keep pronouncing Gyro like ‘Guyro’?
I thought it was pronounced differently cuz of the alliteration potential. I guess Ronpa and Friends brings out the mispronunciations in me. XD
@ Ot’s ok, just something I noticed that bothered me.
It’s pronounced like the word gyro. The g sounds like a j.
Yeah, watching SHSL Blaze's reactions to RnF tripped me up. Hope that's not too big a problem!
