Taka and Mondo: *Reach for the food at the same time, their hands touch. Looks into each other’s eyes, a magic moment*
Leon and Sayaka: *Reach for the food at the same time, their fingers touch*
Sayaka: Get your ugly hands off my fries, you ass.

Killing was surprisingly easy, especially when you're scared, and thinking your world is kind of ending, and you think it's either her or you.



atmosphere-ruining comic undercut!





![Two pictures. The first picture is an image of lyrics to the song "Punisher" by Phoebe Bridgers. Verse 2 says "And here, everyone knows you're the way to my heart / hear so many stories of you at the bar / most times alone and some looking your worst / but never not sweet to the trust funds and punishers." The pre-chorus says, "Man, I wish that I could say the same / I swear I'm not angry, that's just my face / A copycat killer with a chemical cut / either I'm careless or I wanna get caught / who I'm not". The chorus says, "What if I told you / I feel like I know you? / But we never met / it's for the best"
The second image is a quote from the game The Beginner's Guide by Davey Wreden. It says, "Just tell me what you want! I'm...I'm sorry. I'm sorry! Please start making games again, please help me, [higlighted] please give me some of whatever it is that makes you complete, I want whatever that wholeness that you just summoned out of nothing and put into your work, you were complete in some way that I never was. [End highlight] I want- I want to know how to be a good person, I want to know how not to hate myself. Please! I'm fading. And all I want is to know that I'm going to be okay."](https://64.media.tumblr.com/207d83b4e6e823adc28c51081132898c/499f1ef48bebb5a1-7e/s500x750/633fa58189230036293ea64a355fc9ab61aaf768.jpg)





![Panels from from the Danganronpa Manga
First: Leon Kuwata is carrying an unconscious Makoto to his room, and is having a conversation with Sayaka. The conversation goes like this:
Leon: Being a musician musts be glamourous, right?
Sayaka: Eh?
Leon: I was just thinking since you're an idol, I'd be able to talk to you about it, right? Ah, do you want to get some tea?
Sayaka: ... Okay, why don't we vist the cafeteria?
Leon: The... The cafeteria, then! Hey, I'm a pretty caring guy, right?
Sayaka's internal monologue: What an easygoing person. Don't get into entertainment industry with such frivolous thoughts, Kuwata Leon...
Second: Panels with Sayaka is attacking Leon with a knife, and he is defending himself with a decorative sword.
Leon: You...
Sayaka: That's what you said! You didn't mean it, did you? [She swipes at him] You don't understand! You're such a light-hearted person!
Third: A panel where Sayaka is stabbed with a kitchen knife, back to the wall. Leons inner monologue says, "I thought that I couldn't do anything, that I was nothing, so this time, I wanted to be able to do something..."](https://64.media.tumblr.com/954cf0d2799c8c234929c339c99114a6/499f1ef48bebb5a1-f9/s640x960/572a02b5bd9c950d585b1acb4d31fdea8723ced7.jpg)

My perhaps overwrought LeoSaya as different reflections of the same One thesis: a.k.a. Chapter One Is Good and Thematically Rich, Actually
Punisher, Phoebe Bridgers // The Beginners Guide, Davey Wreden // Stage Fright, Jenny Slate // 10 Years with Hayao Miyazaki // DanganRonpa S: Summer Camp // Post by Picasshole, art by Klimt, quote by John Berger // The Crane Wife by cj hauser // Danganronpa: The Manga; Act 2: the Case of the Super High School Level Baseball Star, Leon Kuwata, story by Spike // excerpt from 'Etcetera' by E.E. Cummings // Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc; Chapter 1, Free Time Event, and Prologue
hate the whole 'sayaka is a snake so bad person' / 'leon technically didn't have to kill her so bad person' discourse so much. tell me you cant read without telling me you cant read honestly. the thesis of chapter 1 is that otherwise good people become their worst selves due to the killing game. that's why dr team had the sweet, scared teen idol kick off the killing game and backstab the protag in the process. but still had her go back on her decision to frame makoto, taking the time to write out her true killer's name with her last bit of strength. that's why, to a much lesser extent, they had leon not be completely blameless in sayaka's death, even though the plot would stay mostly the same if it was truly self-defense. but still had him crying, screaming, and even taking the time to draw a extra cg of him distressed to show that he's really no cold-hearted killer and likely wouldn't have done it if he felt he had any other choice. leon and sayaka are good people and that goodness shines through in their last moments. but they both unambiguously tried to kill someone, and now both must die for it. even though they were actively encouraged by the setting to kill. it's all a big commentary on the tragic nature of the killing game to change its victims for the worse!! to make its victims act in opposite to who they really are!! to create natural human desperation and then punish it!!! blaming leon/sayaka instead of their material conditions is just silly and against the point. and the game even explained this outright.





(you can find the full context at the end of any chapter 1 walkthrough, but I'm really not misrepresenting anything. the game really is this obvious about it. )
((also this discourse completely undermines that danganronpa as a whole is a tragedy first and foremost about teenagers being forced to kill eachother. this is literally step one of understanding danganronpa. and chapter 1, again, is just a long way of setting up this theme. how do people argue about this??))
