Is there a single video game character who drags a game down and is more annoying than Junko Enoshima?

junko

drags game down

What the fuck? She was kino in both games. The D3 anime I don't recommend.

Her use in Danganronpa 1 and V3 was great.

However her use in Danganronpa 2 was retarded. The second game is by far the worst of the trilogy. I like how the twist was so retarded that they made fun of it in V3.

She was not. She gets proven to have murdered Mukuro, broken her own rules, and her response is to fillibuster the final trial by talking like a baby and forcing the survivors to do a stupid quiz. DR1's ending is only slightly better than DR2's because the protagonist is merely dragged along by the stupidity rather than being at the heart of it.

the ending of DR2 was ridiculously stupid but I had a lot of fun with it.

Crazy evil bitches like her are built for brutal rape correction, it's their narrative purpose. If that's not present then there's no point to their character

She's an unfunny clown with an annoying voice in both English and Japanese, and modus operandi makes no sense. Despair is not a motivating emotion in the same way anger, fear, or even sorrow is. Nothing about her is compelling or makes any sense, and I'm not eager to read Danganronpa Zero just to find out. If your villain has just as much compulsion to trap herself inside a septic tank as she does cause the apocalypse, she's not interesting.

dr would be nothing without junko

I like how the twist was so retarded that they made fun of it in V3.

When was this?

Made for Big Chihiro Cock.

Chapters 1-4 were just fine without her (5 sucks regardless.) All she does is pop up at the end of the game and take a giant shit on everything. She's not essential; she wasn't even always planned to the mastermind. Yasuhiro was also considered for being the mastermind.

Don't talk shit about 2 and then post the anime. Everything bad about 2 was that shitty fucking thing and all its retcons.

I think he means the twist of "SURPRISE!
It's Junko again!" being the twist, and V3 psyching you out and pretending its the case again (but not really)

The entire 'reveal' is at first framed like they just done the same thing again for three games in a row.

Is there a single video game character who drags a game down and is more annoying than Junko Enoshima?

Tiny Tina - Borderlands
Dahlia Hawthorne - Phoenix Wright T&T

The way I see it, Junko is just like a "style tax" the developers had to pay. Since the rest of the game is so absurdly Danganronpa, you can't really justify it without a villain like Junko

Chapters 1-4 were just fine without her

delusional

junko's despair rant is the only reason to play the first game

everyone knows junko is monokuba, so it wasn't meant to be a surprise

2's final chapter does a good enough job of shitting on the game itself. The game does not hold up well once you realize the entire point of its killing game was for Junko to hijack their bodies and stall for time so the graduation function could be corrupted. We're given no explanation why Junko hijacking them is supposed to be so much worse than their previous brainwashed states that are responsible for millions of deaths, or how they avoided going back to that (DR3 gives us the cop-out that Izuru did it.)

You're delusional or a simp. Junko is shittier, more annoying version of AM who lacks the necessary context to be compelling. She's a shitpost tacked onto the end of an otherwise good game.

The anime is better than 2 and I'm not saying that in a way that praises either.

Monokuma is autonomous from Tsumugi, so that reasoning doesn't work for V3.

She's a shitpost tacked onto the end of an otherwise good game.

and yet they do this again in 2 and again in V3

Kuma. Kuma means bear.

Bite your FUCKING tongue. It was the anime's fault that Junko, this incredible genius mastermind, achieved world domination...
...through fucking hypnosis, and STOLEN hypnosis no less. She didn't even invent it herself. This was the most disappointing twist in media history.

V3 is not good; UDG is better largely thanks to her absence.

Eh... I guess? But Junko's whole thing is despair. So if you imagine the despair she can invoke through handing the good guys the Ultimate Despairs and then releasing them into the world with renewed evil coding, that fits her M.O.

I'm pretty sure it was Danganronpa Zero that established both that she's bimbo Taskmaster and hypnotizes her followers.

she's hot

What the fuck is Danganronpa zero?

does danganronpa have multiple endings?

Not if you have to listen to her talk.
Prequel light novel written by the creator.

it has 53 to be precise

There's 1 canon ending to each game, but there's some "What if" shenanigans too.

Only the first game, but the bad ending is more of a "what if" joke than a serious alternative. You're booted immediately to the previous choice after it's done.

without Junko DR does not work as a concept and is far less memorable
plus her quirk where she changes sprites with every line was kino and added a lot to her schizo rants

Only 1 has a "bad ending" which is basically a joke that immediately puts you back on track to undo the choice that causes it.

She's a shitpost tacked onto the end of an otherwise good game.

are you retarded? literally nothing monokuba does makes any sense until the end of the game

junko is danganronpa
in fact trigger happy havoc is danganronpa, the rest they were just trying to chase success, which is the whole point of v3

v3 is a different universe

more annoying version of AM

your memory is failing you and you are mixing up events from DR1 with DR2

There's also an "IF" alternate story in 2 that poses the question of what happens if Mukuro got wise after Junko failed to kill her. I think there's an item that opens the big vault door immediately in the gacha machine (I didn't imagine that, right?). And the "Free Time" minigame in 2 is 100% alternate reality because Monomi won somehow.

junko WON

Danganronpa would have been a lot better if it was less cartoony and a bit more grounded. A crazy high school girl CAN be a good villain, if she's well written and not totally ridiculous. Look at Higurashi for example.

My enjoyment of the series was from how outlandish it was.

well written

look at higurashi

Danganronpa would have been a lot better if it was less cartoony and a bit more grounded.

absolutely insane take

We're not clued into his motives prior beyond that he's doing it for entertainment. The full explanation could have easily been something else. Even the little we got is better than the notion that broadcasting Japanese highschoolers killing each other is supposed to send the last vestiges of humanity struggling to survive the apocalypse over the edge into complete despair. The whole concept of a despair addition is as absurd as a boredom addiction.
Junko exists to despair the same way AM exists to hate. Yet while AM is a supercomputer built to wage nuclear war and borderline immortal, Junko is just waifish highschool student whose despair obsession has no relatable or compelling basis.

I was disappointed the way she managed to corrupt the minds of the world wasn't through any sort of charisma or a revolution, but just from a hypno app she made some dweeb make.

Isn't her gimmick being perfect at everything?

then it wouldn't be danganronpa, isn't it supposed to be sort of satirical and play on anime tropes?

It's working well so far.

let's make an anime about what happened!

but uhh we don't have the skills or imagination to make it interesting so it was MAGIC VIDEO

Yeah I hate it

Brainwashing videos were already established in Zero.

nobody cares

I feel like V3 is a masterpiece because it was basically the best commentary on every piece of Danganronpa media since THH: we don't have any good ideas left.

I care

Junko (Mukuro) > Junko

yeah, she was basically the proto-Izuru Kamukura.

Imagine bringing her rations from the mono mono machine daily

Her seeming remorseful if you do all her free time events is sad. I could believe she genuinely liked Makoto.

Monaca is a much better villain than Junko. She's the type of villain you love to hate, as opposed to wanting desperately to shut up and go away like Junko, Nagito, Byakuya, and Toko.

honestly if they wanted to keep reusing her, they shouldn't of killed her off.

1 was a better game for the finality of ending Junko. It would have been lame if you find out she did all this bad shit and she just walks away. Or the game fake-kills her instead of her losing for real.

but anon, the ancient alien virus that was sought out by the CIA which was defeated by a bunch of kids on a hill using home alone style traps with their power of friendship was amazing writing! and then later on making another crazy one about Satoku not wanting to study was the real pièce de résistance!

"Hey it's me Alex I come from the internet."

There must be some kind of usb onahole you can plug into Alter Ego.

Hifumi...

yeah, butt he games keep finding away to her back anyways so it's her death never actually means anything.

This but a dildo.

Aoi...

That was intentional.
YIIK is somehow the most significant yet middling video game of modern history.

Regardless of that Alex is funnily enough the biggest roadblock to this game even more than it's bad press.

sado-masochistitties worth dying for

Yiik is actually criminally underrated
