My whole childhood has been a lie.
FNDM during volume 8: Winter and Marrow will defect!
FNDM after chapters 10 & 11: ELM JOIN THE DEFECTION SQUAD!!!
Monokuma’s Family
Yes of course he has a family, you silly
His wife, Suki, even has a power of her own
She’s a human calculator
Every math problem, even ones thought to be unsolvable, are child’s play for her
But she doesn’t just solve other people’s problems, no no no, she creates her own
She’s even the person who wrote out the Hope’s Peak Algorithm
You know, the one that decides who they’re going to enrol and has never ever been wrong?
I don’t think I need to tell you these two are crazy about each other; the fact that they have six kids who can turn into teddy bears and are better than most at math should be telling
Monokuma will tell you all about his very, very fine wife and his kids.
You will hear about her accomplishments. You will hear about how cool his kids are. This is your fault
Do not get him started unless you want to lose an afternoon
Suichi Saihara
Special eyes
What does that mean?
Well he can see through up to ten feet of material
Almost any kind of material
Wood, concrete, skin, metal
His special eyes can also see in astounding detail
Even in environments where normal people wouldn’t be able to see well, such as underwater or in the dark
Think of the enhance thing that they do in those awful forensic crime shows- that’s what he can do with his eyes
Also, if he focuses them right, they can burn through solid metal
No big deal
Tsumugi Shirogane
Bear with me here
She’s a conditional shapeshifter
She can completely change into any character from any kind of media
She can also selectively choose parts of any character from media to modify her appearance
BUT (of course there’s a catch)
She has to know the character
For instance, if she somehow doesn’t know who Batman is, she wouldn’t be able to turn into Batman
And if she wants to go blonde she needs to know of at least one blonde character whose hair she can steal.
Rantaro Amami
His body is fully and instantaneously adaptive to the environment he finds himself in
For instance, if he’s in a desert, he’ll find himself unable to experience dehydration, heat exhaustion, or sun exposure
Or if he’s in a rainforest, mosquitoes and other animals will find him vastly unappealing, he’ll develop a resistance to poison, and he’ll develop a sudden and inexplicable knowledge of which plants are edible
These adaptations last as long as he’s in any given environment, and as he shifts where he is, his adaptations will shift as well
Bear in mind, though, this process can take a second
Anywhere from ten minutes to three hours, depending on how harsh the shift is
Luckily, it usually takes time to get somewhere, so it’s not a problem to get adjusted
Himiko Yumeno
She can teleport
A little simplistic but it is what it is
At first, she only felt comfortable teleporting objects, anything that’s less than 135 kilometres away
But then one day she tried to help the group defeat some evildoer by teleporting herself
But see, space time jumps aren’t terribly easy to do in your head as you’re in a paradoxical nondimension
So she of course, made a mistake, and rather than ending up in her destination like she wanted, she ended up above it.
6,000 feet above it, to be exact
She broke both her legs, her arm, a couple ribs, two vertebrae and a few bones in her face
So good news: she survived
Bad news: she survived
After this incident, Miu made her a device to do the complicated space-time calculations for her so Himiko could teleport herself safely
Without the device, she’d end up splattered all over the planet with one arm in Yemen and her other leg is in Pakistan
The device gave her a new kind of control over her power she never could have imagined
Miu, what have you done
Tenko Chabashira
When she gets mad, she turns into a giant monster
You know, pretty basic
Except not really because her giant monster changes its form
Sometimes it’s a giant fucking cat. Sometimes it’s a 90 foot snake. Sometimes it’s a huge owl.
Whatever it is it’s always angry, it always wants blood and it never gives up
Monokuma says the monster probably changes based on whoever’s most afraid around her when she changes
This is the most likely theory, and it was all but proven following an incident with Byakuya where they got into a fight and she turned into a bat with a 50 yard wingspan
Byakuya hates bats
They found him hiding under a desk; when they asked him why he didn’t call for anyone or help them fight her, he explained that he’d tried to get out from under the desk multiple times, but every time he would be struck by the image of the bat and freeze up
Monokuma had to interview everyone in private because nobody was willing to admit to being afraid of the giant cat she’d turned into
Miu Iruma
She can bestow sapience and even sentience onto her creations
At first she didn’t even know she could do that
But when the first calculator she ever built turned off when she swore at it, and wouldn’t turn on again until she apologized, she put two and two together
Now she’s the sort of person who apologizes to her vacuum for stepping on it, but the difference is, her vacuum can feel pain
How sentient and/or sapient are the things she makes?
Well, that depends
Her calculators, as we’ve established, are very testy
Her vacuums have the measured intelligence of the average dog; they can follow commands, get upset if you hurt them, but usually they forget about it and they like it if you pet them
However, her virtual worlds are extremely complex; any computer she makes to run them, therefore, has to be as if not more aware and emotionally understanding than the average person
Also she names her machines
This is a normal thing to do
Kibo
He’s some mad scientist’s attempt at resurrecting their dead son
She gave him the armour so he could never get hurt again
What she didn’t anticipate was that the armour would be self-modifying
Every day Kibo would find he could do something new. Different
On Monday it was rocket boots. On Tuesday it was homing missiles in his arms. On Wednesday it was internet in his fingertips. On Thursday it was night vision. On Friday it was- look you get the idea
The woman who made him kept getting upset if he tried to figure out what he could do or god forbid asked to go outside
She’d exaggerate the dangers of the outside world and convinced him the only thing keeping him alive was her
She even ripped up his Hope’s Peak letter to keep him from seeing it (he did)
Eventually he got tired of being held to the standards of someone he’d never known and of being kept prisoner in his own house
So he ripped out his tracking chip and he ran away
He was on the run for almost a year
Until one day he met Monokuma while he was hiding in his garage from the rain (Kibo’s “mom” had convinced him he wasn’t waterproof)
Monokuma responded to this weird homeless robot child by bringing him inside and introducing him to his family
At first his wife was like “he can stay for the night but you’ve gotta find a place for him”
Then she was like “okay he can stay for a few days”
By the third day she was fussing with his hair and helping him take off the armour (which he didn’t know could come off)
Then he accidentally called her Mom and she asked Monokuma how he felt about adoption
“Puhuhu- my evil machination was a success!”
Kokichi Oma
He’s loud
When I say that, I mean. He’s loud.
He can make his own voice loud or he can mimic sounds that are also very, very loud
Sounds he can mimic include lawnmowers, shotgun blasts, sirens, explosions, and in his more outspoken moments, the sound of a Boeing 727 taking off
When he’s just shouting, however, he has been documented being heard over ten kilometres away
If you don’t have perspective for that, that’s approximately the sound of a shotgun going off
But see shotguns go off for a second and then they’re done
Kokichi can. Keep yelling. For a while.
Fuyuhiko absolutely considered killing him when they first met.
Ryoma Hoshi
He can create portals
That is, he can open holes between two non-adjacent places that connect them across time and space
These holes will stay open for however long he can hold them
How long is that?
That depends
Ones big enough for, I don’t know, a tennis ball, could stay open for hours without him putting much thought into it
(He’s often stimmed this way; put a tennis ball between two portals and watch it go whee)
Ones big enough for a person are a bit tougher; he’d have to focus on the portal and couldn’t hold it open forever
Monokuma timed it; his longest held person-sized portal was open for two hours and forty-five minutes
And by the time he closed it he immediately puked onto the floor
The largest portal he’s ever opened was held open for five minutes, and it was to move the school
Long story
And by the time it closed, Ryoma was shaky, pale, and could hardly move he was in so much pain
All he said on the matter was, “I don’t think I could ever do that again.”
Before he passed out
Maki Harukawa
She’s empathokinetic
If that sounds stupid, let me explain
She can manipulate the emotions of people around her by adjusting her own
She can focus her emotions on one person, which is helpful for work
For instance, if she has a very vigilant target, she can focus on “calm” and make them convince themselves nothing is wrong and they’re safe
She can shift “calm” to “warm” to convince the target that they recognize her and allow her close
And from there, you know the rest
When she isn’t focusing on one person in particular, however, her emotions come off her in a kind of wave that effect everyone around her within a radius of up to seventy kilometres
This is great for childcare
If you’ve ever worked in childcare, you’ve had a room full of rowdy kids
If you’ve had a room full of rowdy kids, you’ve dreamed of a person who can walk in and calm the entire room
Korekiyo Shinguji
He’s a ghost boi
No, he’s not dead
It’s just that things you’d commonly associate with ghosts are things he can do
Icy chill in the air when he’s experiencing an intense emotion
He can close doors and knock things off the shelves without touching them as long as they’re close enough to him (50 yards at least)
He can move almost silently and can even float cleanly up to 30 feet off the ground if he wants to
He can walk through solid objects and turn intangible so attacks phase through him
He can turn invisible for up to eighteen hours
And before you ask, yes he can see ghosts
But extremely conditionally
Ghosts have to want to be seen
They also have to be around
He hasn’t been able to find his sister, but not for lack of looking
Do with that information whatever you will
Kaito Momota
He can fly
Which I know sounds underwhelming but that’s not all he can do
Not only has he clocked in at speeds of 40,000 miles per hour at his fastest, but he has a secondary power that even he didn’t know about
Due to a complete accident involving Ryoma’s portals, they discovered that Kaito doesn’t actually need to breathe
He returned three days into the search for him, as Monokuma was trying to determine how he was going to go to his grandparents and tell them that he’d lost their boy
When asked where the hell he’d been, he explained Ryoma had transported him into space and he just hadn’t wanted to leave immediately
He also learned during this trip that his gravity adjusts to the planet he’s on, but that doesn’t seem to effect him in any way
For instance, he was on Jupiter, where he weighed twice his normal weight, and he was fine
Monokuma thanked him for all his in-depth research. Then grounded him for making him worry so much and made him go apologize to Ryoma
Which he wanted to do anyway
Seriously our boi spent a solid three days certain he’d killed Kaito
Kirumi Tojo
She can cover her body in… stuff.
What kind of stuff?
Depends- what kind of stuff do you need?
If she’s being grabbed from behind, she’ll cover her entire body in tiny, thin needles, like the ones found on the plant known as Dendrocnide moroides
If she does this, she can make whoever’s grabbing her regret it for years
Whereas, if she’s being shot at, she can harden her skin with a layer of chitinous material that’s proven to be bulletproof and knife-proof
As an experiment, Monokuma asked to hook her up with some electrodes, and they discovered that she can insulate herself with something rubbery and plasticky that doesn’t conduct electricity
Having said that it was still tremendously painful and she safeworded out at about 10,000 volts
That’s a nasty caveat to her abilities- she may not take damage but she can still feel things
Gonta Gokuhara
I feel like this one goes without saying
Oh well
He can talk to bugs
And spiders
And scorpions
Basically as long as it’s tiny and creepy and weird Gonta can talk to it
When he was a child he’d spend hours chatting with butterflies, centipedes, bees, and would frequently invite them in for food and tea
Much to the horror of whoever was fostering him at the time
My best boy has bounced around almost 60 different homes in his life
They all were very interested in having a super who could just talk insects out of their homes
But they ducked out the second he started bringing bugs into their homes
Quitters and cowards the lot of them
Angie Yonaga
She can draw things into reality
What do I mean?
Imagine her, drawing a slice of pizza in her sketchbook
Nice, right?
Then she gets hungry, reaches into the book, pulls the pizza off the page and eats it
She isn’t limited to paper either, she can draw on walls, the floor, her bed, just about any surface you can think of
She also isn’t technically limited to pens and pencils
She’s never tried anything else before but technically she doesn’t need specific art tools, the drawing just needs to be made with something that makes a mark
However, this will effect the objects composition
For instance, if she drew a pair of shoes out of ketchup they’d always feel like they were full of ketchup no matter how much you cleaned them out
Kaede Akamatsu
Unlike the other protagonists before her, she knew she had a power, knew exactly what it was and knew it was extremely cool
She could come back from the dead
If you kill her, in any way shape or form, you only need to wait five minutes for her to reset
Once she resets, she’ll be completely physically fine.
Well, of course, there is one exception
Depending on the manner of death, there may be a tiny scar on her wherever it happened
For instance, if she was decapitated, there may be a thin scar around her neck from that day forward
And of course the lasting psychological damage on anyone who saw it happening
She’s fine of course
No really
She’s died over 10,000 times and she’s fine

Playing fire emblem 3 houses again.
Completely OBSSESSED with the black eagles again.
Truly the most discordant group of eccentric little weirdos to ever become found family.
Edelgard is out here tryna be normal but she cant help but drop ominous foreshadowing and insane questions.
Hubert is slinking around all sinister and trying to make everyone behave with threats and insults.
Ferdinand is also trying to make everyone behave but with long lectures on nobility. Which should make him and Hubert team up but no they're 20 second from killing each other because Ferdinand is in the worlds most intense one-sided rivalry with Edelgard.
Linhardt, a 'problem child' just wants to take naps, read books and have unmedicated ADHD. He's a rude lil shit who will just drop a 'goodbye' to end of conversation.
Caspar is somehow BFFs with Linhardt but all they do is bicker and have the 'my dad could beat up your dad' arguement. And Caspar just want to fight everything 90% of his supports are people saying 'Caspar, NO!" while he screams "CASPAR YES!"
Dorothea is doing her darnedest to flirt with everyone she meets (except Ferdie who she openly hates) like a true gold-digging bisexual disaster. And she keeps breaking into song.
Bernadetta is Bernadetta. Switches between running in fear and begging for mercy because she thinks everyone is trying to kill her. Wont come out of her room to the point where Caspar picks her up (not cool) and runs her out to see the gdamn sun for once in her life.
Petra is the only one who can be normal for more than 5 minutes and she's the youngest at FIFTEEN.
In conclusion they are terrible and no one can do it better worse.
None of the other houses come close
jorge (creator, odysseus) decided it'll be cool to celebrate the ithaca saga with the epic cast via a trip to ithaca, greece
surely nothing can go wrong
mico (telemachus) seemingly found out about the trip with the rest of the fandom. he proceeded to plot a trip to ithaca
the epic cast dealt with multiple broken vans and missed a ferry by one minute. they had to cancel a stream because they were too exhausted
mico made it onto a plane
ithaca got hit by a typhoon, forcing them to move another stream indoors
mico got banned from tiktok. it was reversed
mason (tireseas) asked luke (zeus) to stop the rain. luke refused
the crew hiked up to odysseus' palace. they ran into a roadblock. mason looked into the future and did not see a way around it. (they found a way around it)
the crew found a well and sang their epic songs into it. except jp (crew) who just sang happy birthday
janani (aphrodite) also sang "royal we" into the well
anna (penelope) made it onto the plane to fly out to ithaca
hermes (troy) decided to take a plane to ithaca like a normal human instead of teleporting. he got side-eyed by a woman at the airport as he slept sprawled out in a chair. this quickly became a meme
hermes arrived in ithaca to the delight of everyone except jorge. mico also appeared in his videos. mico still had not updated anything after getting on the plane
anna's connecting flight got cancelled, leaving her stranded in a fancy hotel. she struggled to find the toilet in her hotel room
mico finally updated, claiming he was stuck in munich. mason appears in the video and gives him a water bottle, proving he is lying
the fandom believes mico anyway
mico is forced to post another video revealing he had been gaslighting us basically the entire time and was just delayed in getting to ithaca, that was all
troy and talya (circe), in character, talk about tea. troy says the tea tastes like her father's approval. earle (ares) then asks for 1000 cups and breaks down crying as luke cuts the camera
jorge posts a video apologizing for mico's absence, encouraging him to fly to ithaca, new york. mico appears in the background of this video
mico posts a video saying that he's finally in ithaca, but the crew is in ithaca, new york. jorge appears in the background of this video
jp films a behind the scenes video, calling out "some random guy" who just showed up asking if anyone knows jorge. it's mico
janani sings "royal we" again, but after she says "troy was breached" troy comes out screaming in pain. mico appears in the background of this, filming the video from two points above
it's time for the ithaca saga livestream... except it gets cancelled because the connection is bad and jorge's devices are dying
TL;DR: the gods saw the epic crew in ithaca and went "do you guys think it'll be really funny if we just. recreated the odyssey"
I was today years old when I learned that when you type “otp: true” in AO3 search results it filters out fics with additional ships, leaving only the fics where your otp is the main ship
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Finally another digimon x Danganronpa post after almost a month! It’s Kaito’s turn! I was originally going to do Shuichi but his digimon line has been more difficult than I thought (Kyoko does not help). While trying to figure out his I found digimon that made ENTIRE DIGIVOLUTION LINES for multiple characters!! To add to my suffering none of them are from V3 🥲. I needed a break so I decided to work on a character that would be easier. Honestly Kaito’s digimon went through a lot of changes during my process, but I think this is a very fun line, and surprisingly easy. It think this is the fastest I have ever made a line.
Rookie: Rocketmon
Yes everyone I used the forbidden form. I used an Appmon. I don’t care what anyone says I consider Appmon to be Digimon and anyone who disagrees can fight me! This is far from the last time I will use an Appmon, so put away those pitchforks! I found out about Rocketmon while looking for digimon for Shuichi and in a desperate attempt I went to look up Appmon. As soon as I saw this guy I knew I needed it to be Kaito’s partner. I was originally going to use Lunamon and then the rest of her line due to its relations with the moon and I thought giving Kaito a feminine digimon would be a nice change of pace. While I still think that would be an amazing fit for Kaito I think Rocketmon is the better choice. What better digimon for the Ultimate Astronaut than a literal rocket?! It also serves as a great reference to Kaito’s execution since he was thrown into a rocket. I did briefly consider Gammamon because all of its forms relate to constellations and the stars, but I like to include as many different references about a character as I can. If I can hint at a character’s death or execution I will, as morbid as that is. That aspect is lost with Gammamon.
Champion: Starmon
I’m so proud of this pick. This digimon just screams Kaito. Kaito literally calls himself Luminary of the Stars and Starmon is well a star. Lore-wise it is said to be discovered in a planet analysis software of a space development center, and is described to be a space warrior! I also thought that out of all of the options that I had listed for Kaito, Starmon served as the best transition from Rocketmon and the Ultimate that I chose to use for this line. The metal armor kinda creates a connection to a machine like digimon like Rocketmon. But I also think Starmon fits Kaito’s personality well. It’s a justice seeking digimon that has good intentions, but it is also hot-blooded and tends to think with its fist before its head. Now that sounds a lot like Kaito to me. Honestly these two would probably get into so much crap together because they would just try to save the day without thinking.
It’s alternate digivolution time! So I went back and forth on what digimon to use for a while. In the end I decided to go with Kausgammamon.
So part of the obvious reason as to why I decided to use this digimon was because the entire Gammamon line has a strong relation to constellations and the stars, which obviously relate to space. But this is another digimon that I see as a goofy pal that Kaito would have a fun time with. I also thought it would be fitting for the Ultimate Astronaut to at least have an alternate digivolution that could fly and also carry him. Kausgammamon also serves as a refrence to Kaito’s love suite event. For anyone who doesn’t know, in his fantasy he is an airplane pilot who wishes to defeat his sworn rival before going to space, but he has developed romantic feelings for them. Kausgammamon kinda resembles a plane, at least to me it does. It’s just a fun reference that I haven’t been able to make yet.
But I still have one more digimon for Kaito in the Champion stage, and it’s his dark digivolution. Now despite how optimistic Kaito is it’s almost to a toxic level in V3. He truly wants to believe in everyone but then he ignores the very obvious evidence that proves his classmates guilty. In some sort of anime or fanfic I think Kaito would put his trust into the wrong digimon and that digimon would end up betraying him and try to kill him. Obviously his digimon partner will be with him during that encounter. Either the hurt of the betrayal causes Kaito to get super pissed or Rocketmon gets super pissed at Kaito for trusting a random digimon that was probably very sketchy. But either way those negative emotions would cause Kaito’s partner to dark digivolve into GulusGammamon.
First of all can I just say how much I love this digimon and his design! Given the scenario I just explained I think it would be fitting for Kaito’s partner to turn into a digimon that just wants to fight and kill everyone and everything. If it can’t trust it’s friends then everyone is it’s enemy. Also I get to keep the star theme, which is awesome! But yeah, Kaito is going to need to have a lot of therapy with his partner in order to fix things.
Ultimate: Crescemon
I was bound and determined to have that Lunamon refrence dang it! Obviously Crescemon is tied into the moon which would most likely be where Kaito would have gone if he had to opportunity to finish his training as the Ultimate Astronaut and then go to space. But he died instead. Crescemon is also the best transition I could think of from Starmon due to its pieces of metal armor. Starmon also digivolves into Crescemon in Digimon Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition, so this works! Crescemon is also a protector in nature, which I definitely think fits Kaito. He was always determined to help his friends in V3, especially Maki. This man even killed Kokichi so that Maki would not be the blackened. This man is a protector so Crescemon fits him perfectly. I did think about using Superstarmon but I really did not want to use it and Starmon in the same line. It’s literally just a yellow Starmon with sunglasses. One of the things I like about doing this is that I like forcing myself to be creative and using Superstarmon just felt too easy and plain. Besides Crescemon gives me a different type of space reference. I also did think about using Canoweissmon as an alternate form, but once again I like using multiple references and I would’ve lost the love suite reference since I only want everyone to have one alternate form that isn’t a dark digivolution. Also I wanted to look at more aspects about space than just stars. Kaito’s picture literally has the moon behind him!
Mega: Siriusmon
Okay maybe my choices are not as creative as I thought since this is the third member of the Gammamon line that I have used. I think I already explained most of the reasons why I would use this digimon. I did consider using Dianamon, but I just felt like Siriusmon suited Kaito more. It’s also still serves as a decent transition from Crescemon. But man I can not get over how cool the gun and sword and gun combo is on this digimon. Definitely one of my favorites. 
And that’s it for Kaito everyone. I’m honestly really proud of this line overall, even if it isn’t the most creative. Hopefully this change of pace will allow me to actually finish Shuichi this time. Hopefully I won’t take a month this time, but I’m a busy college student so we will see. I love you all! Bye!
Can somebody explain to me why a song sung by a horse to an alpaca centaur is making me feel emotional
