Ouma Borderline Kokichi

chapter 4 is just a bpd episode, starring Kokichi. (Translation is from this doc)

Not even including the way that Shuuichi could be his fp/favorite person

I knew my headcanon for kokichi having bpd wasn’t unfounded

YALL. i need help finding an oumota fic. PLEASE.

i remember it being on ao3--it was a time loop fic. it was from kaito's pov. i read this fic YEARS ago, so i don't remember much, but i recall this one scene specifically. kaito is in kokichi's room for whatever reason, and there's a number in the corner of one of his whiteboards and kaito asks what it means. i don't really remember how kokichi responded. think it was "what do you think it means, momota-chan?" or something like that. it's later revealed that that kokichi is also in a time loop, but that there's multiple kokichis and kaitos out there? so the kaito in a time loop and the kokichi in a time loop weren't always getting stuck together? i think? i don't know if that made sense or if that was how it happened but if anyone knows what fic i'm talking about PLEASEEEE send me the link i've been frantically searching for it for ages and my mind cannot rest. i stopped being a lurker just to find this stupidly gorgeous fucking fic 💔💔💔💔 thank you

Im so sad right now. I’ve never read this fic and it sounds so cool, but apparently it’s been deleted??? If there’s an internet archive of it pls let me know cause I’d love to read it!

Me trying to write Kokichi even remotely sane or normal challenge level: impossible apparently

This is about him seeing Shuichi in a slutty women's Sherlock Holmes costume btw. I actually don't know what I was on when I wrote this and I don't understand how this crack fic brought this out of me. The whole concept of this fic is just put Shuichi in a slutty Sherlock Holmes costume and let Kokichi and Rantaro lose it about that.

At first I accidentally skipped a line and read it as “temple of his taint” and I just about lost my mind

Hazel is enjoying the view of the snow outside! She's definitely happy to not be out there though

Thankyou to the lovely @lilpieceofheaven636 for taking this picture of our daughter!

All cozied up in her fluffy coat!

guys give me oumota drabble ideas NOWWWWW don’t fail me

UH UH- *panics*

How about Kaito and Kokichi trying to buy gifts for the other. Since Shuichi is a good friend of them both they each ask him for help, and he’s too much of a people pleaser to say no. This leads to a comedy routine of poor Shuichi trying to help without letting it slip that’s he’s also helping the other. This ends up with him almost slipping up multiple times as he tries to juggle both of their enthusiastic/desperate requests for advice. There’s a few different ways it could end up

That’s the best I got off the top of my head :P

OH I LOOOVEEEEEE THIS TYSM?!?!???

I’m glad my obsession with these two dorks could be of assistance lmao

Oumota Post [Contains Spoilers]

---------------------------------------------------------------

Something I don’t hear talked about enough in relation to Oumota (or just Kokichi and Kaito in general) is the SHEER NUMBER of parallels that they have with eachother, beyond just their narrative roles. Their philosophies of Faith VS Logic and their respective Hero/Villain personas are undoubtably the most interesting part of it, but there’s so much more to be said than just that. Even their physical appearances are designed to contrast. Here's a list of some of the similarities I found.

-------

•Kaito is tall with broad shoulders, while Kokichi is short with a small frame.

•Their hair colours are almost exact opposites on the colour wheel. On top of this, while you don’t really see it due to their respective hairstyles, they both have roughly shoulder-length hair.

•Tying into the previous point, they have very similar colour schemes. They both wear white shirts, and have red, yellow, grey, and white accents scattered around their outfits. They’re also both heavily associated with the colour purple, with Kaito being more aligned with magenta (pink) and Kokichi being more aligned with indigo (blue).

•Kokichi is especially pale compared to the rest of the cast, while Kaito is noticeably tan.

•Kaito’s eyes are upturned, and Kokichi’s are downturned. I’m not sure how to word it but it’s almost like their eyebrows are going in different directions, too.

•They both wear capes that fan out in their splash arts. Kaito’s is a coat, but it has the same effect.

•They’re both bilingual. Kaito can speak English, Japanese, and Russian thanks to his astronaut training, and while it’s unclear why Kokichi can speak multiple languages, we know that he can thanks to his second FTE with Kaede, wherein he says ‘common sense’ in English, Japanese, French, and Spanish. ‘Common sense’ isn’t a commonplace word that new speakers of a language would know, implying some level of fluency.

•In the original Japanese script, Kaito had quite a few homophobic, misogynistic, and transphobic undertones, all seemingly stemming from internalized toxic masculinity/belief in traditional gender roles. Kokichi was very much the opposite of this (read: not straight), as is discussed in-depth in the trivia section of his Wiki page. [We do not talk about Japanese Kaito in this household].

•Kokichi’s birthday is the 21st, an inversion of Kaito’s birthday, which is the 12th.

•Neither of them portray themselves 100% authentically. Depending on how you read their characters, you could almost argue that deep down, they’re more similar to the other’s persona than they are to their own.

↓

Though he’s often referred to as an idiot due to his stubbornness in the trials, Kaito is actually rather analytical when he so chooses to be, seeing straight through Maki’s lone-wolf act and understanding her needs startlingly fast. He was intelligent enough to pass his astronaut entrance exam (which would’ve involved extremely complicated scientific concepts and a basic understanding of medicine) and has proved himself willing to cheat and lie to get what he wants (i.e, forging an I.D to get early acceptance).

This isn’t the only instance of him lying when it wasn’t strictly necessary, another notable example being the entirety of his Free Time Events; he lies about his impossible summer escapades and brags about how many famous people achieved success because of his influence, seemingly just to boost his own ego and to make himself look more impressive to Saihara. Shuichi internally calls him out for this, more or less verifying that it was all a lie.

He repeatedly lies in the trials (like when he tried to insist that he was the one in women’s underwear in chapter 2), and of course, hid his illness from the others by pretending he was fine, when in actuality, he was on death’s door.

None of this makes Kaito’s passion and kindness any less real, but it’s important to note how he’s not as saintly as he seems. He’s a lot of things, but he’s also an Egotistical Liar, much like Kokichi promotes himself to be.

Moving on to Kokichi, while it’s hard to say with 100% certainty what kind of person he is, we’ve seen him become emotional a number of times throughout the game, most notably in Gonta’s trial. There’s a lot of debate over whether his tears were genuine or not, but the general consensus is that they were. He shows anger here, at both Gonta, the situation, and more likely than not, himself. He clearly feels a lot of shame and grief, but ultimately continues to push on with his plan for everyone else’s sake.

He shows mercy to Yumeno in chapter 3, when he asks her what she was holding back at the end of the trial. This is seemingly done in an attempt to help get her in touch with her feelings, with no obvious ulterior motives or mocking undertones. Him calling her out earlier in the trial can be chocked up to his hatred of hypocrites – as is seen with his overall relationship with the rest of the cast, specifically surrounding how they gang up on him and treat him like a monster for lying when it’s something that they themselves do – but this interaction shows that he sympathises with her, proving that he has some level of empathy.

Kokichi is EXTREMELY selfless, something that’s proven over and over again to the point that if I sat here and tried to list every example, we’d be here until the release of the V3 anime [forever]. He actively plays devil's advocate, knowing that this would lead to the rest of the group disliking him, and his entire plan to end the killing game centred around villainizing himself, all so that he could die to save the rest of the cast. He’s shown to have spent time, likely days upon days, thinking about how to end the killing game – if his room is any indication, he’s poured a lot of toil into making that a reality. Much like with Kaito, none of this changes how Kokichi chose to act – he’s still a bad person who did inexcusable things, but there’s some merit to the fact that beneath all of that, he’s a human being.

 In the end, he dies as a Selfless Hero, trying to save a group who he surely must’ve known would feel no gratitude for his sacrifice. He's the exact kind of person that Kaito would approve of, were it not for the other, less pleasant aspects of his personality.

Again this is all just my interrpretation and what do I know but I thought it was interesting so here :3

A very fun and interesting read! I didn’t even notice some of these so that was cool to learn

Halloween went by but had to

I love this so much, I’d kill for a fanfic of this-

It baffles me that there are still puritans in the Danganronpa fandom clutching their pearls and shaming people for how they enjoy DR characters in fandom. Like what are you doing at the devils sacrament in one of the most problematic fandoms ever. Go back to Blues Clues.

Ok but the amount of children I see in this fandom trying to police adults-

Eyyyy Oumota won! 💜 They’re so damn cute they drive me insane

Fifteen days ago, Saihara's childhood best friend dropped out of university and hasn't been seen since. When Ouma attends the same Halloween party, Saihara is determined to figure out what happened to him.

Gonna weblog this with #fic recs so I can find it later

The speed at which I clicked kaito/kokichi-

soooo i had a kinda messed up post game Kokichi trauma idea

i already headcanon that he's an absolute nightmare to deal with when sick, wanting to pretend he's okay and continue to do his regular routines despite his body disagreeing, but eventually he does cave cause snuggling up in bed with his favorite blanket and taking a 12 hour nap is alot nicer than trying to work with a foggy mind

however wouldn't it be fucked up if postgame this became signifigantly worse? like- my guy was poisoned, it was slow acting, slow acting doesn't mean it postpones having an effect then it hits- it means it was slowly and painfully killing him, each and every moment longer becoming more intense as it took affect. i'd imagine that would cause some serious ptsd issues post game.

what if post game every time he got sick it freaked him out because the foggyness of his brain, the aching of his body, the chruning of his stomache- it all reminded him of how it felt to be poisoned. now when he gets sick he goes into fight or flight and panicks, he forces himself to stay up and awake and moving because he's afraid if he rests he's gonna succumb to the sickness, which of course makes the sickness last longer because his body can't restore his health when he's burning through what little energy he has trying not to pass out. he's making it worse on himself and having multiple panic attacks along the way

wouldn't that be fucked up?

Yeah that’s so crazy and fucked, who would ever want that-

Who is buying me these

I would absolutely buy these, catch me pulling up in my Kokichi shoes-
