"but if kyoko and byakuya already know all the answers then why do they make makoto say it every time" because the class trials are ruled by popular vote and kyoko and byakuya have like zero charisma and can't convince any of their classmates that what they say is correct. they make makoto say it because makoto is everyone's favorite good boi and they listen to him

Byakuya doesn't even know the answer half the time either he just pretends he does and then hopes nobody notices he's actually stupid

that's true

knowing kodaka either nagito's going to die chapter 1 or we get fullblown komahina gay sex. there is no in between

proof

can you imagine if they kill komaeda right away

I'M BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING AGAIN

Danganronpa 2 Flower Language Symbolism During Chapter 3

I’m not sure if anyone else noticed this but, when I was playing Danganronpa 2, I noticed that the flowers are different in each hospital room during Chapter 3. I immediately recognized that these different flowers are associated with the respective patients, because of my knowledge on 花言葉 (hanakotoba). My knowledge is thanks to an old P5 Royal post I made regarding flowers. 😊

So I decided to go over each flower I saw for each patient!🙏

Ibuki Mioda - Sunflowers

In Ibuki’s room, there is a sunflower on the cabinet. 

Sunflowers are called 向日葵 (Himawari) or in katakana ヒマワリ in Japanese. 

In Japan, sunflowers are well-known for being a happy flower because the kanji “向日” means “facing the sun” as if they are always chasing the sun. They usually symbolize brightness, sunshine, and happiness!

In Hanakotoba (花言葉) Sunflowers mean:

This connects well with Ibuki’s personality because she is usually cheerful, carefree, and happy. She is also loud and full of life and energy, something that sunflowers also represent. 🌻🌻🌻

Not only are sunflowers full of sunshine, they also produce some tasty seeds! Sunflower seeds are my favorite seeds to eat. 😄

Nagito Komaeda - Red Spider Lilies

In Nagito’s room, there are red spider lilies on the cabinet.

Red Spider Lilies are called 彼岸花 (Higanbana) in Japanese. 

In Japan, red spider lilies are well-known to be associated with the themes of death, departure, and the afterlife. The kanji “彼岸” (Higan), can mean “the afterlife” which is why this flower is referred to as the “Death Flower”. The bulbs of these flowers are also poisonous, which adds on to the ominous and dangerous symbolism it holds. In Japanese media, these flowers would usually appear when someone dies or when someone goes through a new transformation. In addition to that, these flowers are also often seen in graveyards as a way of mourning the dead.

So these flowers usually symbolize “Death”,  “Rebirth from Death”, and “Change/Metamorphosis”. 

In Hanakotoba (花言葉) Red Spider Lilies mean:

It’s not surprising that Nagito represents this ominous flower, because it actually makes sense for his character. It can also portray his near-death experience when he had the Despair Disease, because those red spider lilies were there during that time. Nagito has always been dancing around life and death due to his Ultimate Luck. In his FTEs, he mentioned that his Luck can bring death to others, and it also gave him a life threatening illness. It’s as if his Luck is a curse that poisoned him like a poisonous red spider lily. 😔

and well what do you know? Red spider lilies are actually my favorite flower because I love red, I love its beautifully creepy shape, and I love the foreboding symbolism it holds! 💖

Akane Owari - Bananas

In Akane’s room, there are bananas on the cabinet.

Bananas are called バナナ (banana) in Japanese.

Bananas are not flowers so there is no Hanakotoba (花言葉) for them. It can just mean that Akane loves food, but I think there is some symbolism behind them. 

Bananas can symbolize transformation and personal growth, because the ripening process of bananas, from green to yellow to brown can portray that. This can probably symbolize Akane’s growth as a character after witnessing Nekomaru’s “first death” during that time, and her willingness to get stronger. Bananas are also good to eat after a good workout to prevent sore muscles, so maybe that can relate to Akane’s athletic nature. 🍌🍌🍌

Bananas were actually my favorite fruit back when I was a kid, and nowadays I usually eat them after going to the gym too! 😊

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu - Pink Carnations

It’s hard for me to tell what kind of flower is on the cabinet in Fuyuhiko’s room, so I’m guessing that it is a pink carnation flower with white tips. Please correct me if I am wrong! 😣🙏

Carnations are called カーネーション (Carnation) in Japanese. 

In Japan, pink carnations are the most commonly found color and they can symbolize gratitude. Although carnations, usually the red ones, are used to represent a mother’s love, a pink carnation in particular can represent a woman’s love in general. 

In Hanakotoba (花言葉), Pink Carnations mean:

I think these flowers represent Fuyuhiko’s feelings towards Peko after her execution. He must have been grateful for all the things she did for him, and for saving his life during her execution. What happened to her had made him change into a better person with a “warmer heart”. He of course will never forget her, in fact Peko was the first thought in his mind when he learned that his “dead” classmates are actually not physically “dead” in reality. As for the “woman’s love” meaning, it’s pretty obvious that it is regarding Peko. It was revealed in her FTEs that she has feelings for Fuyuhiko, which means that her actions and her desire to protect him, stems from that as well as her duty.

If I am correct that the flower in Fuyuhiko's room is a pink carnation, then I am once again hitting myself in the feels with the KuzuPeko angst 😭😭😭

—---------------------------

I can never look at flowers the same way anymore in anime/video games after delving into Hanakotoba years ago. I might end up making another flower-related post in the future at this rate. 🥴
