The Drv3 Killing Harmony Ending Is Really Controversial So This Is My Take On It (spoilers Ahead)

The drv3 killing harmony ending is really controversial so this is my take on it (spoilers ahead)

I think of it as like, everything did happen in that universe but just a rlly long time ago. Ik canonly there isn't a big time gap but I think of drv3 being fictional in-universe as "this horrible thing happened years ago so we made a fictional re-enactment" kinda like the shows about Henry viii's wives and stuff like the crown yk?

There's a way better explanation (and my reasons for thinking it) under the cut!

Idk if this makes sense but that's how I think if it because if just the killing games were fictional then what about udg, and all of drv3? And if it was ALL fictional then I think there would've been more drv3 lore as well.

Since the characters in the other games overlapped quite a bit (the dr1 survivors popping up in udg, everyone being in dr3 except for the drv3 characters, dr1 characters being in sdr2) but there is no interaction with them and anyone in the third (main) game.

I think that's because the first two games + udg and dr3 do happen in this universe and then, hundreds of years later, the world is fixed and everyone is pretty over it. It becomes well known enough that someone writes a show based on it and then it becomes popular enough for multiple seasons which eventually our characters sign up for.

And its not really unlikely for stuff like this to happen, we have a film about people falling in love on the titanic, we have billions of shows and films about hitler and the holocaust, there are shows about serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and Ted Bundy, and how often do you hear jokes about 9/11?

Stories about genocide and wars always get very popular very fast and I don't doubt that 'the tragedy' and the killing games would be so well known, like they'd learn about it in schools and everything, it was a huge deal in-universe.

I've thought about this a lot (as ik most drv3 fans have to) so this is one of my main drp headcanons lol, enjoy!

Thank you so much!! I've thought about this so much haha, I'm glad you think it's accurate!

I'm thinking of making a lil dc/danganronpa crossover but I cba to draw it rn so this is my opinion on which protagonist would be which robin / batgirl

(Edit: I made more of these - Next , Masterlist )

Nightwing - Makoto Naegi

- The first protag/robin

- Fandom tends to ignore their skills due to their positivity, also overemphasizing their niceness and effect on other characters

Oracle - Kyoko Kirigiri

- not a protag but hear me out

- both incredibly smart and help everyone with their intelligence and investigations

- often just thought of as a love interest to the first protag/robin rather than a complex character

Red Hood - Hajime Hinata / Izuru Kamakura

- Second protag/robin

- Someone did something that drastically changed his personality and life, when changed he kills people

- Robin 2 would be Hajime until he is turned into Red Hood/Kamakura before eventually he becomes a mix of the two (rejoins the bats)

Red Robin - Shuichi Saihara

- Took over from the last robin/protag because they died

- Seen as the smartest robin/protag

- Tim is canonly bi and Shuichi is the only main protag with a same-gender supporting character

Spoiler - Kaede Akamatsu

- The first female robin and the first female protagonist (in the main three games)

- Immediately died and got replaced with her male love interest

Black Bat - Komaru

- Not usually seen as an official protagonist/not an actual robin

- Overlooked fairly often, generally thought of because of one of her family members (komaru being Makoto's sister and Cass being seen as Bruce's favorite)

EDIT: Robin - Nagisa Shingetsu

(Tbh I don't know Nagisa that well yet but I thought this worked, ik he's not a protagonist but he was the leader of the WOH so I'm counting it)

- both have a lot of pressure from their family and we're raised in a fairly dangerous environment

- both very intelligent and seem pretty serious for their age (+ ages is another similarity)

Idk if anyone else had some this but I've been thinking ab it a lot lol. I can't think of who Signal would be in this so if anyone has an idea, I'm happy to add it in! I chose a batman in part 2

A little masterlist for my DC/Danganronpa crossover! This is more for me than anyone else, I want to be able to look through it all easily lol

To summarize, I'm hyperfixating on both the batfamily and on danganronpa so I decided to turn the drp characters into DC vigilantes. I gave a little explanation on why I picked each character so yeah enjoy I guess!

Part 1 - Batkids

Part 2 - Batman/Talia/Selina

Part 3 - Teen Titans

Part 4 - Young Justice

Part 5 - Gotham Rogues

Danganronpa V3 chapter 2 spoilers -

I love that within one trial we got Shuichi saying "I'm only an apprentice" and cut to Kirumi being the fucking president? "I did it for my people!" Girl you're like 17 who allowed this?

Ngl I kinda think the writers just weren't fully sure what a maid is but good for her
