bro that's kinda gay

yeah just a b i t
Just a bit
a teeny tiny bit
@@DetectiveNyx can you do angie, I like angie
if you dont like akane you should at least like the fact she created *"baby gansta"*
im just bored indeed
I think I can hear the frustrated screams of fuyuhiko
STOP CALLING ME BABY GANGSTA!
Yes
yup
Small brain: Nekomaru and Akane are joke charecters
Big brain: Akane and Nekomaru are both awsome and need more love
I think most of dr characters are jokes, but it doesn't count in the fact that even a joke character can get development, good development, and if they do, the creator is amazing
@@painslut honnestly i agree
In the words of ProZD's Shipping vid "Oh, they fucking"
@@Sheriff_Bruce_Lee They are on Jabberwock together post-DR3 so they absolutely are.
I love them both and I think they make a great pairing.
SPOILER WARNING FOR NEKOMARU'S FTES
One thing, because of Nekomaru's heart condition, he could only have lived until 20 at most. Once he became a robot, this was his first chance to live beyond that. But, immediately after, he dies. Not to mention, at the heart of his body as a robot was, as we know, a clock. Metaphorically similar to before.... his heart was always a tick tocking clock and that's why I love Nekomaru.
Edit: not to be that person but omp this comment blew up 1.2k likes is the most I've ever had lol thanks guys
Wait what?
@@johannesvonmalos7505 play his free time events
I really hope that Mikan can help Nekomaru and Nagito's conditions post-DR3.
Also, I can easily see Akane playfully teasing Nekomaru (in whatever scenario you imagine), "How's the ticker, old man?"

I am so happy Akane is getting some positive attention
Same tho

@@jaggy5095 i love em both *and* ship them lol
Akane probably has one of the best FTE’s as well, and her relationship with Nekomaru is great too. Also, her gut feeling basically solved the case in chapter 5. Big win.
Oh no it’s Giorno’s piano, run stand users, run!
Also she helped discover about TeruTeru in chapter 1! Without her saying a light would have been used based on her gut instinct, we would have never thought about the mini oven, which lead to suspecting TeruTeru
@@rhondamatar1920 plus she smelt the blood of the dead body before everyone else
:D
The fact that Akane stayed herself throughout the killing game is really refreshing.
My favourite character is sakura ogami😢 because she is quiet, smart, kind, strong, protective and selfless a total big sis and I would love a video about her for being criminally underrated, big buff mum needs more love🌸🌸🌸🌸
People do be hating on our buff mom friend 😔💕💗💝
@@7eartcat248 what? I have never heard of anyone hating on sakura she's just constantly being ignored not that she's hated since there is no reason to hate her anyway
God her and Hina had such good chemistry just hhhhh
Ruby Y. I don’t think they had a romantic relationship. Their relationship seemed like really close friends
@@monohina1997 well it's a ship wich means it doesn't have to be cannon
As someone who ships aoi and sakura I get why people see them as close friends. I'm not a fan of ships in general but I think they are cute together.
She survived the killing game because of her background. Everyone else had to adjust to that environment, Akane was playing a home game...
I'm fairly certain that Mikan would've survived if Junko didn't seriously fuck her up
just imagine akane being the mastermind.
think about it. how weird it would be, how unexpected.
exactly why she should've been the mastermind.
i think it was the animated graphics that through me off
Just like a certain character from V3.
I think her name means 'end or finish' and hajimes name means 'beggining' so the author thought of the end and begginging for their names when Akane was supposed to be the mastermind
nevermind it was mentioned in the vid
OKAY BUT NEKOMARU DYING WOULD'VE HIT HER IN THE FACE HARD BECAUSE SHE'S THE ONE THAT ORCHESTRATED THE WHOLE THING, SO SHE INDIRECTLY LET HIM DIE AND THAT WOULD'VE BEEN AMAZING TO SEE JUST SAYING
Something interesting about Akane and that trainer of hers in the past who encouraged her to be a gymnast...she called her trainer/coach who encouraged her to be a gymnast - a perv. Only, and only in the fourth chapter in a bit of optional dialog do we see that this was actually Akane's mistake.
Remember how Fuyuhiko called Akane aside to speak to her in private in the fourth chapter of the funhouse, to talk to her regarding te depressing stuff about Nekomaru?
This is what Akane said after having that talk with Fuyuhiko: "Is Fuyuhiko...all right? I feel like he was trying to flirt with me..."
Sheesh. But this misunderstanding is in character, because she's always had very strange ideas about what is and isn't sexual (swimsuits = erotic, someone like Hajime seeing her panties = not erotic).
I love how just from Akane's reaction to Fuyuhiko's very serious attempt at a heart-to-heart sober conversation sheds some light on her coach. He probably worried about Akane; saying things like it was okay for her to not be the strong sibling all the time, that it was okay for her to show her emotions and sometimes confront her weakness instead of punching it all out through combat.
Our pure goodest gal Akane didn't understand all the serious talk and thought her coach was a flirt when he was trying to be a therapist lmao
As much as I'd love for her to have a little less trauma, this simply isn't the case. She mentioned he would touch her and no matter how many times she fought back he wouldn't stop, or something similar, I think. Sure would be nice tho 😿
Edit: I checked back, he was trying to get her into gymnastics despite her fighting back, and she said he seemed like he liked it and said she had the perfect body. So, you may be right, but i think it's implied he didn't have good intentions.
I see that she gets along very well with the "Baby gangsta"
You can actually see the development come into play a lot; I really liked it as well. From Chapter 4 and 5 onwards:
Akane proactively tryna solve problems, like going out of her way to look for Nagito.
Conserving food, in case Monokuma starves them again.
Still maintains her optimism, more so than before.
In the Funhouse, she breaks down rather easily due to her past.
before CH 4 end, like Himiko, not being in touch with her emotions and being generally lazy.
CH 6, actually trying to investigate more than she usually does.
Actually a character who is not that sociable (while still friendly), is aloof, and rather serious.
These are reasons why I hate when she's likened to Aoi, who essentially believes in the opposite stuff that Akane does. Aoi was definitely not lazy.
I hate it when people compare Aoi and Akane as well. You can tell people who do that quite literally have only a surface level understanding of their characters and personalities.
When people compare Aoi and Akane: Big breasted athlete girl that likes food. W O W SO SIMILAR
@@demonicinfants also a little tanner than the other characters 😚
Big chest, athlete, and loves food. Also TANNED. that's kinda annoying how they always compare them bc of those 4 similarities alone. When i personally think they're so different from each other.
I have compared them, but only on a surface level. I only looked at them and thought, "Ha, Akane has a similar hairstyle to Aoi :)"
I got annoyed with DSP said " that akane is the sporty chick from the first game" despite them being completely different
I never understood why so little people were fans of her. When I first played SDR2, legit she was the first character I decided to vibe with and I did all her free time events. I was shook when I got into the fandom after finishing the game to see little content of her, and said content was mostly "Akane eats and fights LMAO"
C'mon, there is WAY more to her than just "She eats and fights". She is one of my favorite characters, and that won't change.
The underrated characters are normally my favorite characters, oof.
I’ve always thought her and Nekomaru were very underrated. Nekomaru was very sweet and I loved his spirit, while Akane was very funny, chill, and had a lot more to her than meets the eye. I love those two, and their dynamic.
tbh Akane's and Nekomaru's free time events were really heart breaking for me and I was like wow you guys are really sweet I hope you survive and when akane dis survive I was really happy until I learned that most of the fan base says she doesn't deserve to survive and getting compared to Aoi mainly due to their character design and talents
IKR? The first time I saw Akane I was like, "Hm. I like her! *SHE'S GONNA BE WAIFU.* "
Its funny considering that goku is popular, _and does THE SAME THING_
"I don't know anyone who would say that Akane is their favorite character" Well now you do! Akane has been my favorite ever since I played SDR2 - I did some (not all) of her FTEs on my first playthrough and I loved who she was as a character. Imagine how disappointed i was to learn that the fandom didn't even think she deserved to SURVIVE at the end of the game (and that someone else should have taken her place). I love your analysis, and it's only strengthened my love for her. You make a lot of very good points and even enlightened me to some that I wasn't aware of. Love this video
bruh akane is my fav char in all danganronpa, followed by chiaki and impostor lmao
You are saying exactly how I feel!
Akane was my fav,I was so *mad* when someone said that she didn't care *Like WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HER,SHE IS CRYING,HOLDING HIS HEAD,CRYING SHE CANG HOLD IN LIKE WHYYY*
Her and Peko are faves for me in DR2.
AKANE IS BEST DANGANRONPA GIRL BEST CHARACTER OMG I LOVE HER AAAAAAAAA
A dedicated Akane video?! This year just keeps on getting more interesting
Damn I thought Akane ate so much because she was an athlete, the actual reason is pretty sad
Yeah 😧😫
To be honest I’ve always found Akane kind of a bland character, but I’m really exited to watch this and see another view of her.
I thought the simplistic aspect to give her that she's a unique thing
Did it change your view?
At first I didn't care for her but when I went back to her free time events I saw her in a new light
@@pocky5867 in the first trial i was really interested into her. And she was a badass in the animw
@@floofycupkim1197 I don't get why people say the anime is trash. I actually enjoyed it, though I wish it had better reasoning for them falling into despair (maybe exploiting each of their pasts separately)
I think Akane's backstory, especially the name part, really makes sense to put in a killing game, I think she really was a good idea as a survivor
I’m exited for this. Akane is one of my favorite characters!

If you cant tell this is Akane and Ibuki, but for some reason Akane is overly hated whilst Ibuki is loved, despite them sharing so many similarities.
hm, i wonder if there's a crucial difference between these two characters that isn't at all a bad thing in the slightest, but people have unconscious biases that they are not willing to examine or acknowledge and instead just blame it on something arbitrary, even while people that share said trait with akane give overwhelming evidence that it is in fact this trait that everyone hates, whether consciously or subconsciously. oh well, i guess that mystery won't be solved /sarcasm

People say that these games aren’t really replayable, but I disagree
The more you replay it, the more stuff you’ll see that you might’ve not seen in the first place
You might not be able to re-experience the class trials mysteries and shit, but you might see something new about a character or plot point that you didn’t originally see
It's good to replay for the characters, but that's it.
"The the more you replay it, the more stuff you'll see that you might've not seen in the first place." Just like with movies.
SDR2 had no bad human characters, change my mind.
We dont need to change your mind because its true

Teruteru, even without the ahem sexual comments he's kinda boring as a character though 2-1 was a legit trial
@@tomgibson6801
*Oh no no no no no.*
Good sir, madam or other, let me tell you why Teruteru is severely underrated and one of my personal favorite danganronpa characters. (most of this is from the trial but hear me out)
1. Teruteru looks out for those whom he is close too, since he died in chapter 1, this is limited to only his mother but it shows that he is genuinely a friendly and compassionate guy to those who are close to him.
2. Teruteru is noble. This ties into point 1, but Teruteru wanted to kill Nagito because Nagito was going to kill someone else. True, he did also do it because he wanted to go home, but it is strongly implied that his primary motivation was to save everyone else, and that he felt guilty over killing byakuya.
3. Teruteru is funny. I am NOT referring to his sexual comments and actions, those are a black mark on his otherwise damn fine character essay. I am talking about everything else, from him rubbing sun screen on nekomaru, to his culinary quips, and very much so his southern accent during trial 1.
Not my favorite character, but definitely in my opinion top 5-7 in DR2. I can't give him too much credit because he only survived one chapter, but to be fair I think he did a lot in what short time he had.
I'm so excited Aeris! I always thought Akane was really underrated and I'm really looking forward to your analysis.
Hope you enjoy it!
After watching I can now say that Akane definitely earned her place among the survivors, and a place in my heart as well.
My favorite part of this fandom is constantly learning new shit about the lore and characters years after playing the games.
I hate when people say this “character should die instead” ALL the characters to
deserve survive, it’s literally saying I wished you died instead ______, it really disgusting when ppl say this, all the characters deserve to live, her surviving just showed her strong will to stand up against fear while the others gave in to fear for attempted to escape, so you’re right akane did deserve to live.
edit: I believe there is some miscommunication, I believe that games do normalise behaviors in people's head and people consistently saying Oh ____ didn't deserves to live, normalise that for some people for a range of reasons, it's the media and the others affects on people, there are studies it's the communication model and communication theory.
i love this opinion but haiji towa exists and that is a violation of humanity
It's a game bruh lol
People may dislike her but garbage is going to far
But like... it's just a video game.
@Hope Bagel Did you even watch the video?
Akane is a huge comfort character for me,, shes so full of sunshine,,
I feel like
Kazuichi had no reason to survive
But there’s 2 ways to fix this
One just replace him with someone who did, (hiyoko)
Or two, have Sonia be killed instead of hiyoko, where kazuichi will realize that his obsession has corrupted him completely, and soon he would probably learn to forgive and befriend Gundham, who would then die in chapter 4 as the killer
This would result in the survivors being
Hajime- surviving for the entire class and specifically chiaki
Fuyuhiko- for Peko and her sacrifice
Akane- for nekomaru, who helped her fix her broken survival tactics and mindset
Hiyoko- for mahiru, who helped her understand that the world isn’t such a bad place
And kazuichi- for Sonia who helped him see he shouldn’t obsess over love, and for gundam, who forgave him
I love Kazuichi, but if Sonia died, there would have been so much more potential for character development, now I kind of wish that happened lol
Yeah, not that i want Sonia to die, but those 5 really deserve to survive, Hiyoko surviving for Mahiru? absolutely perfect. Hiyoko would have her deserved character development. I can't imagine her saying "I... I miss you so much Mahiru, I... I will survive for you"
I would put Sonia instead of Kazuichi
At that way all of the characters have someone to survive for
Akane-Nekomaru
Hiyoko-Mahiru
Hajime-Chiaki
Fuyuhiko-Peko
Sonia-Gundham
@@userperson2780 Yes but Sonia was already through her development but kazuichi wasn't. He's just comedic relief but Sonias death would've changed him. But I don't really care
I read somewhere that on ch 3 Fuyuhiko was the one planned to be killed instead of Hiyoko because of the character development he would have with Peko dead... I'm glad that didn't happen (because Fuyuhiko is my fav character of DG2), but that's exactly what Hiyoko could have been too with Mahiru's death, right? I'm kinda pissed that they replaced him with Hiyoko and not with Sonia or Kazuichi
DR2's cast is by far my favorite in the series, and there's not a single member I dislike, and while I do think that most of the survivors were on the weaker side (But even then, that's only relative to a cast that includes the likes of Fuyuhiko, Nagito, and Gundham, so "weaker" doesn't necessarily mean "weak"), I still love them all. Sonia, Kazuichi, and Akane are all underrated, and none of them are nearly as bad as, say, Hiro or pre-UDG Toko.
This comment right here deserves a medal. I see people simping for Hiro and defending pre-udg Toko left and right, but they're both pieces of shit. Sure, in Toko's defense there's her backstory, but with Hiro he's just a pile of hot, steamy garbage. His mom was patient with him but he still never did shit. He just sat there, not focusing on his studies to HELP HIM get out of debt, watching as his debt piled up, and did a useless little clairvoyant gig that he took way too seriously.
People hate on Himiko for taking her magic way too seriously, but how I perceive it, she had a reason to. People in her circle only focused on "how adorable she is" and "look at her doing magic". They knew it was all a trick, and she knew it was all a trick, but the people in her circle overexaggerated it to the point where she ACTUALLY started believing in it, and lied about it being real constantly. Himiko needed this confidence at first, due to the bullying she faced due to her looks and way of speech, but the confidence overflowed and left her with overconfidence.
With Yasuhiro, he OPENLY admits he had no friends (gee, who knows why?), nobody to justify that amount of greed he has. Sure, there was his mother, but with how laid-back she is, she probably just gave him a thumbs up and went off to do her own thing. The reason Yasuhiro had that much confidence in his ability was because of him and him alone. If he thinks it, he's right. What the clairvoyant thing did was dumb down his intelligence and give him more and more selfishness. There was no circle to feed him confidence. There was only him.
This selfishness gets to the point where he tells Makoto that he's lucky to talk to someone so esteemed as the Ultimate Clairvoyant, and ACTUALLY TELLS HIM THAT HE WOULD SELL MAKOTO'S ORGANS TO RETIRE IN COMFORT. If Himiko told Shuichi anything like that, PLEASE let me know. But to my knowledge, it was only Yasuhiro.
i love sonia, at fie=rst, i did her ftes so i have somthing to do, and that i dont want to do the fte's of the one who dies i order to protect myslf fom hurt...then i fell in love....with her wierdness and confidence
IVE LOVED AKANE SINCE I SAW HER I DIDNT EVEN CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE. I did all I could’ve to learn about her throughout the game and I’m so upset that people say they hate such a easy-to-love character
same here !
Another comment.
While I never did dislike Akane, I did enjoy her and her want to help her siblings, but I never did see the end of her FTEs, so thank you for that insight. I also enjoy that I understand her actions more.
Also, Kaito stole Akane's interaction with Hajime about believing in friends from Chapter 3.
I love how you’ve interpreted so well with Akane’s character, she really is severely underrated and most people probably think that she should’ve not survived but... she does deserves to. she would of course be known as the ‘foodie always hungry punchy girl’ but once you’ve played her free time events you’ll get to know the reason behind it. I’m glad someone pointed that out! 💗
also, the mastermind thing was really cool though :o
Aeris I love watching your other videos as well, you’re really underrated and very good at analyzing things! thank you for your content and in doing all the research. you did a great job and keep up the good work. ♡︎♡︎
I always loved Akane. I think her relationship with Nekomaru is one of the cutest in the series just because of how weirdly innocent it is.
Ikr
@Caiden Leonard there's lots of innuendo in their dialogue but despite that their relationship is purely platonic
YES!! AKANE IS SO UNDERRATED OMG
Tbh, I love both Korekiyo and Akane. That's all I have to say.
@kriss What.
@kriss it does feels rather petty honestly the whole part of they complaining about the comments and the jabs they took take me out of the video so much and I amm surprised not a lot of people are talking about it
Yeah, I love both of them, so... chill.
Yeah, I'll admit now that I've watched this that I've been pretty unfair to Akane. She really is underrated.
The only reason I've always been bitter about Akane as a survivor is that she's a bit weak as the only survivor of the Despair Disease/Wizard of Monomi 'arc'. Ibuki is the mindless scarecrow because despite her quirky attitude and unique tastes, she's held back by a lack of traditional intelligence and worries about her need to stand out. The despair disease brought this suppressed/rejected part of her identity by literally giving her no agency or ability to think for herself. Nagito and Nekomaru are the heartless tin man. Nagito is either totally unaware of or refuses to accept the fact that he is an amoral manipulator. In the first trial, he even says that it'd be outrageous for him to lie. The despair disease, however, makes him the heartless liar that's always been a part of him. For Nekomaru, it's more literal than significant, as he becomes a mechanical man without a literal heart. Then there's the cowardly lion. Akane, obviously, has a disease that makes her full of fear. This isn't a true turnaround of her personality, it's just unleashing an exaggerated part of her personality that she refuses to acknowledge. Then there's Hiyoko, who had a great deal of problems surrounding her cowardice, but wore a facade to try to hide it. The three despair disease patients (Ibuki, Akane, Nagito) correlating to three consecutive victims (Ibuki, Hiyoko, Nekomaru), and these five characters each deal with lack of intelligence, courage, or empathy.
There was so much potential for Hiyoko to have an arc and overcome her struggle to have courage that it made me take my anger out on Akane. In all honesty, if Akane AND Hiyoko had survived, their similar struggles would've made them perfect foils for one another.
Ah, so... like shadows from persona?
@@QqQ3Three3 Precisely. Fuyuhiko, Sonia, Kazuichi, and Akane even have yellow eyes at their darkest moment in Chapter 6. Could be coincidence. Could be inspiration.
@@poky4669 Fast reply. O-O

I LOVE Akane to the maximum, Thank you for making this to bring her up more. She is one of THE most underappreciated and easily forgotten characters In the entire franchise, and it makes me sad-
"No character is perfect. Except Kirumi."
I mean, I don't like calling opinions objective, but this one is pretty damn close. I'm so happy someone else agrees with me on how fantastic she really is.
I disagree. I didn't really care for her tbh.
I hated her after she killed Ryoma. Best boi didn't deserve that. You can't measure who lives and who dies just because you feel more important.
@@loveprize4272 I mean, he was literally ok with being killed for the greater good, he has lost the will to live a long time ago, so he was ok with at least being for the well being of the country I guess. And I don't think is too fair to judge an entire character because of another character's death. Well it could at least be another way than drowning the dude, that was kinda rough for him lol. And yeah Ryoma was awesome, kinda sad to see him go so soon, he looked like the voice of reason, maybe that's why he thought it would be best
edit: btw I really didn't care much for kirumi too, she was interesting, but nothing amazing
@@loveprize4272
Thank you! She was probably the only character that wanted other people to take her place and die instead of her. Not only that, but she was the person who broke Kaede's promise to Shuichi as to keep everyone else alive. AND she decided to drown Ryoma, who was already willing to die, giving him a torturous death. I do not understand why everyone loves her so much.
@@wonsterchan the thing was that they were foils of each other. Kirumi was thinking for herself, Ryoma was thinking for others while thinking that his life wasn't much after he thought he lost it all. Yea sure Kirumi cooks and cleans but she had an alterative motive that she took. Also, there's a theory that Ryoma didn't agree to die so Kirumi can escape since that will mean sacrificing their friends. He said he'll lay down his life for them, not sacrifice them with his own. No matter what was going on with the outside.
I really enjoyed Akane in SDR2, but, as my name on both discord + here prove im the biggest peko simp

Wait this was a year ago-
@@caramelaltacc.1498 bonjour
Akane and Hajime had a lot of interractions thoughtout the game. It really makes you feel like you're apart of this killing game, and the group, while in Danganronpa THH Makoto is just... there.
Thank you for this is genuinely love Akane and get so mad when people compare her to the survivors like Sonia or Soda who actually didn’t have that much character development or even any at all I hope people realize how good of a character akane is because she doesn’t deserve to be as underrated as she is
I love akane so much I can’t believe how underrated she is
Looking forward to this, maybe it'll change my outlook on Akane. I never played her FTE's, so I just grouped her in the "Boring Survivors" box, but maybe this video will change that.
Edit: Video definitely changed that, now I feel bad for ever putting her in that category damn
Reading Akane's wiki made me realize an interesting parallel between her interest in food and Imposter's "interest" (I don't think that's the right word but idk what other word to use) with fat.
For Akane, she states how "If you don't eat, you die" in a FTE while Imposter states "Be grateful this is a tropical island. If you were somewhere less hospitable, you'd freeze to death" in a FTE (which I think, combined with Imposter's repeated mentioning on how fat is important, gives off the minor implication that at least part of the reason they view fat as important is for the sake of surviving harsh cold temperatures).
Anyways, I just sort of find the unintentional parallel of how both of their placed importance of food in Akane's case and fat in Imposter's case is linked to survival. This was just a ramble so idk if this made any sense.
I'm interested in what this is, as this has something to do with Akane
Note: comment posted 2 days before upload
This video is really informational because I didn't know these facts
I feel so alone having Akane and Nekomaru as my favorites characters of SD2 ;-;
They should seriously get more attention! I feel like people should talk more about them other than food and fighting-
I don't think so... IT'S AMAZING THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE! HOORAY!!
I love Akane, she is really amazing
No no, they got a point
There is also another thing I hate, some people say “Stupid Akane got Nekomaru killed!”
Even though she never called out for Nekomaru to help her, HE chose to help HER because he cares for her.
That just rude 😒
The best part of Akane that she kinda adopted Minimaru (more like force Kazuichi to give her Nekomaru but) that's really sweet I love them both
AKANE OWARI IS MY FAVORITE DR CHARACTER OF ALL TIME AND THE LOVE OFM Y LIFE THA NK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO U MADE ME LOVE HER EVEN MORE
I really appreciate this! There are multiple characters that I think people need to look at their FTEs, and Akane is certainly one of them! Very nicely done, props to you. (Also obviously all the other points are really good as well.)
That's such a great video! Akane is one of my absolute favourites and I really relate to her and her story. It sucks that she's so underrated and I love to see some appreciation for her
This was a really well thought out analysis of Akane, I have a new-found respect for her ^^
I really love the SDR2 cast, it's the best cast of all the dr games for me!
I followed a bit of Akane's backstory and I liked her, even if I was more focused on Nagito's complexity and my little corrupted angel Mikan (I think I literally really relate to these characters mostly because if the fact they put themself down for others, *empathy intensifies*)
Now that I have finished the games since a while, I can appreciate more and more characters to their right values, even if I still don't really like Chiaki because yes she is waifu but...A bland character, and I like complexity and backstories who justify a character's personality-
finally someone else who isn't completely obsessed with chiaki
Yeah, like... I expected to cry during chapter 5. I didn’t. Chiaki’s death should have been really hard-hitting for the player, but it wasn’t because the creators didn’t add enough depth to her until despair arc was made. And most people aren’t aware of despair arc when they play SDR2. You only really come to appreciate Chiaki’s character it and after you watch despair arc, which could make reviewing SDR2 a more emotional experience, but it’s something you shouldn’t have to do to properly appreciate her. Same with character’s FTE’s- like Akane, for example.
This was really well-made and in-depth! Also, can I just say that those sprites are so pretty and detailed. You really captured the Danganronpa art style!
I agree with this,Akane's not just some beast girl'
She's a best girl wigh a heart of gold and fucking amazing intuition
criminally under rated
This is an instant subscribe. 😭 this is the first vid I found who gives Akane love.
I love seeing underrated character videos so i cant wait for thisss
I LOVE AKANE SOOOOOO MUCH MORE NOW she's now my mega fav alongside himiko and chihiro 😭
Thank you for now sprouting my love for Akane☺️
Really great video. Akane is one of my favorites from DR2, thank you for doing her justice.
No problem 😊
Akane has to be my favorite survivor out of the game. Like not only is she a great character but I genuinely laughed at some of the things she said, which is fricken awsome
Thanks for making this. This video made me appreciate her way more, and place her on my top 10 favorite characters! You’re amazing!
Side note: I love Korekiyo, but even I agree on saying that those people who yell at you for “not” doing he’s free time events, BUT DO NOT CARE ABOUT AKANE’S ones are just simps or have him in a pedestal.
I've been waiting for this one, turn it up!
SO glad I found your channel omg. First watched your video on V3's trial 3, and now this one, and you are ABSOLUTELY hitting on so many of my own thoughts. Fantastic takes all around :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING AAHHH
Finally akane gets some positive attention!! 💖
Akane and Nekomaru deserve the best.
At least they are together on Jabberwock post-DR3.
Freaking THANK YOU for making this video!
This is such a good breakdown! Nicely done proving how good of a character she is!
thank you SO MUCH for making this video. Akane is my favorite DR character for a lot of reasons (mostly personal) and I’m so glad more people are starting to realize how interesting she is! It’s not I have seen a lot of hate and nothing else for her (trust me, I’ve seen hate don’t get me wrong) but a lot of people tend to gloss over her and associate her with nothing but food fighting and nothing else. Thank you so much I appreciate you and this video SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️ we need more Akane love 🥺
This is kinda unrelated but I love your sprite! It's super cute!
Akane honestly is one of the best characters and I will forever regret not paying more attention to her in the game. And getting a bit personal, but I can relate to her a bit with the stuff she talks about in her free time events (being sexualised by others) and while this isn't the point of the video, I am also a sucker for her appearance wise her hair is super pretty when it frames her equally pretty eyes ;;
She also kinda reminds me of Kyoko from Madoka Magica, who also grew up very poor and takes as much food as she can, never taking it for granted. They're both underrated and I love them.
I just finished watching the video and ndksjsjsk I love ur analysis!! I never disliked or hated her but now I really really love her! She DEFINITELY deserved to be a survivor!! Ty for the amazing video!!! :DD
Honestly, when I played the game the first time through, I didn't do her free time events because I didn't want the skill it gave so I ignored her and ended up being neutral on her, not liking her but not hating her. During Island Mode however, after doing all her free time events, her ranking shot almost all the way up for me.
It was a similar thing with Miu. I thought she was just a glorified Teruteru and I didn't understand why people liked her. But after doing her free time events, she became one of my favorite characters in V3. *If' yall want more detail on that, let me know*
People are always so quick to use Kiyo and Hiyoko's backstory as an excuse for the way they acted and the things they did, but when it comes to characters like Akane or Mix, those same people become Jared, 19
Edit cause I felt like adding this: It was the same thing with Nekomaru for me but also I always liked him cause Bara Himbo's hit a cord with me
Tl;Dr, Character's Free time events are important to understanding their character. it's ok to not like a character before or after their free time events, but don't bash other people for liking the character when they have and you have not
wow I agree with everything you said
What’s your opinion on Miu?
@@kiera6326 After doing her free time events, I really like her! Her whole reason for being the way she is is that she’s living life to the fullest because she missed so much time while she was in a coma. That’s also why a lot of her inventions deal with sleep, just in case she’s in that situation. I think she’s a really interesting character!
Okay about the beginning. That's just a headcanon kork's fans like to shove down people's throats to excuse/soften his being a serial killer. No actual canon evidence states it and everything is still up for interpretation.
Honestly cannot get why these people think their hc is canon
As I expected, this was well done. I didnt even know she got development. I'd love to see more of these videos.
Great analysis! Akane is so good and deserves so much love
You have honestly changed my opinion on akane and right now I'm happy that she was a survivor originally i wanted her or sonia to be a chapter 3 victim replacing hiyoko but I'm glad that wasn't the case you made me respect akane and now she's one of my favorites thank you Aeris.😀
It’s disgusting how some people are straight up talking about Akane’s chest when they first see her like-
Tbh i’d let akane nearly kill me then go to a food place and i’d pay for it
late but i love your videos sm
gives me a better insight on characters i didn't have strong opinions about, like akane
but yeah honestly her FTEs did bring the best in Akane
I almost cried watching this, good job
OMFG
FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS MY BELOVED AKANE
THAT I LOVE
Nice editing Aeris. Also, I like Akane's personality and character, she reminds me a bit of myself.
Yes! Another dark chocolate lover! Also I love akane's character arc so much, I love that you talked about it! Nice video!
Thank you for this video! Your analysis was great :)
OMG, you made analysis for one of my favorite underrated characters and it's airing on my birthday OH HECK YEEESS.
YEEEES This video was everything I hoped it would be
. You gave your own opinion while also giving valid points
. You talked about her FTE which explains her character
.Finally your explanations were thorough and easy to understand
In conclusion I'm glad I watched this video because it was a great way to end my birthday ☺
@@laya_png hope you had a happy birthday!
@@mooshielove9151 Thank you also I had a great birthday because I got to wear my new Chiaki cosplay
I love Akane. She'd been my favourite character in the game pretty much from the get go.
Though given Aoi's my favourite character in the first game, guess there's a case to be made I just happen to have a thing for tanned skinned athlete girls with wacky emotive hairdo and name based on a colour.
In any case, I just really like Akane's blunt and aggressively straightforward personality; it makes it pretty immediately apparent she's been through a lot.
I really loved this video and perspective on this character. She really is underrated!
Akane aaaaaaaa
I’m so glad she’s been getting lots of love recently. She’s such a badass and relatable character. Great video!
Even before I learned about Akane's past, I still didn't mind her forgetting names all the time since I have the same problem. Not because people died all the time and it was better to never learn their names as not to get attached to them, but because my memory just sucks like that (Being an introvert on the autism spectrum and having ADHD doesn't help with that at all). It's more that if I don't see and talk to a person every single day of my life, I end up forgetting their name, or even their face and who thay are entirely. Especially if their name isn't told to me directly. Even If I see someone regularly, I end up forgetting their name. It's one of the reasons why I usually cling to one or two people in an environment where there's a lot of people, it's just easier to keep track of. So yeah, even before I learned about Akane's past (To which I still thought she was gonna get killed off, mostly because I thought she was supposed to be Aoi 2.0 even with the fucked up backstory, and I thought Aoi was kind of a basic bitch). I didn't really mind that quirk, like everything else I was "Okay Not-Aoi" (Even though Akane is still a good character, she just didn't make as strong as an impression of me, especially in an "Anyone can die" series). I didn't get upset at all at Akane forgetting names because I was all "It's okay you funky little gymnast, I forget names too".
In my opinion, Yasuhiro and Akane are fundamentally the same character (not book smart, comic relief) but it's Akane's character arc and backstory that makes her way better than weed man could ever dream of being. Akane is one of the best characters in SDR2, and I agree that she deserves more love than she gets.
FINALLY SOME REPRESENTATION FOR OUR UNDERRATED QUEEN!!! TYSM!!!
Oh my god.. thank you so much!
Yes! Oh my god, this video is perfect, I've always loved Akane and this video showed me some information that I didn't even know about her that just makes me love her more!! It's honestly kind of ironic that the fandom boils her down to 'haha big boobs, eats a lot of food, funny' then tries to claim it's cause that's all she is...like no? Did we even PLAY the same game? I'm genuinely so happy that more people than I previously thought appreciate her but super bummed out we were stripped away of mastermind Akane but I still love what we got anyway-
TL;DR: This video is great, I love Akane so much, thank you for making this
Akane is my favorite DR2 character, so its nice seeing some love for her, thanks for the vid uwu
No problem 😊
This is really good!! Ive always loved Akane and never knew how to describe exactly why (almost like akanes gut feelings lol) so this really helped!! :D
