Nagito Komaeda


Nagito Komaeda

Today we'll be doing an in depth character analysis on the backstory of one of my favorite characters, Nagito Komaeda from "Super Danganronpa 2"


Now before we go in depth I want to mention that this will be going in depth and as such there will be MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL OF THE DANGANRONPA GAMES AND ANIME!!


Nagito was born into a rich family, but he was also born with an extraordinary type of luck and thus his life has always been a turn between extreme 'good luck' and extreme 'bad luck'. The earliest known occurrence of this is when his dear pet dog was killed after being hit by a truck. His relationship with his parents is unclear; he mentions that they took him to an amusement park, but he also mentions that his mother never complimented his appearance.
When he was only an elementary school student, Nagito and his parents went on a family vacation at San Cristóbal Island in the Galápagos archipelago. When the vacation was at an end, the family boarded onto an airplane leaving from the San Cristóbal Airport. However, the plane ended up being hijacked. Both the hijacker and Nagito's parents were killed before his very eyes after a small meteor crashed into the airplane, letting him inherit all of his parents' fortune and become free to do whatever he wished, as he had no other relatives alive.

After his parents' death, during middle school, Nagito was kidnapped by a serial killer; although he was released after the police found him (it was implied that the killer let him go after they found out nobody would pay the ransom). As a form of good luck, Nagito had discovered a lottery ticket in the garbage bag the murderer kidnapped him in: It was a winning one for three million yen.

The aforementioned are just a few examples of the many, many tragic things that happened to Nagito due to his luck. His cycle of good and bad luck made sure that any chance he might have at actual happiness would be cancelled. In order to cope with this very despair-inducing way of living, he developed a strong faith in hope so that he could find meaning in his life. However, this turned into an unhealthy obsession. He didn't have any close ones, because other people were disturbed by his strange way of thinking and because he intentionally avoided other people in order to protect them from his bad luck. His bad luck caused the deaths of several people and he started to believe that only the people with "weak hope" could be killed because of the influence of someone worthless like him. His luck cycle worn him down to the point where he drifted through life without purpose, waiting to die and dreaming of becoming a stepladder for world's hope. Believing that he himself is unable to embody hope, he idolized Hope's Peak Academy and its students as the symbols of hope who are capable of creating "absolute hope" - hope that can overcome any despair.



As a teen, Nagito was diagnosed with lymphoma and frontotemporal dementia, and was given a life expectancy of half a year to a year (though, as it's later revealed, his good luck allowed him to live much longer). Though he claims he was fine with being alone before, he then realized he would die all alone and he understood that he always desired, more than anything, to be loved by someone.


After this, as a form of good luck, Nagito won a random lottery and was asked to attend Hope's Peak Academy in 2009. He refused at first, believing that he wasn't worthy, but the academy really wished to study his luck and he eventually accepted the offer. He joined Hope's Peak Academy's 77th Class and gained the title of the Ultimate Lucky Student. According to Jin Kirigiri, the headmaster, Nagito meddled with the affairs of other students and caused nothing but problems. The headmaster had to constantly worry because of him and described him as an incredibly problematic problem child. However, he understood that the boy himself didn't really mean any harm, which was the worst part of it all.


During Nagito's second year, Junko Enoshima started to manipulate students to join her Ultimate Despair. It's strongly implied that Nagito joined because he wanted to see Ultimate Despair's rise and fall, believing that no matter what hope would always win and despair would be destroyed in the end. The members of the Ultimate Despair were brainwashed and fell madly in love with Junko. However, Nagito's case was a bit different. He developed strange, conflicting feelings of both love and hatred for Junko and saw her as his sworn enemy. This was most likely a result of both the brainwashing and Nagito's own belief that hope cannot exist without despair. It's strongly implied that Nagito wanted to kill Junko at some point.

Well thats all for now, remember to keep up to date and I'll see you later!



Next Years Line up of Shows


Next Years Line up of Shows


So with the next year coming around I figured I should give an update as to some new things I'll be adding to this blog, though this will mainly consist of topics that will be coming up soon. Also keep in mind that this is subject to change so don't go marking your calendars yet.

Miraculous Ladybug


I've been hearing so much about this show and seeing so many pics of it all over the web, so I figured I  may as well give it a shot and check it out. The two main characters have good chemistry from what I've heard and the animation looks really solid. 

RWBY


This one is probably the biggest show on the list, I've been a casual fan of Rage Quit for a while and when I heard they made/are still making an anime like CGI series, I was excited. Not to mention the Death Battle with Yang and Tifa definitely got me more than interested.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens


Yes as much as I hate to say it, I haven't gotten the chance to see The Force Awakens yet. But can you blame me? Have you seen the malls in America this Month?! None the less, I'll see it, because its Star Wars.

Kung Fu Panda 3


Ok, hear me out on this one!! Kung Fu panda may sound dumb but its actually really good!! The characters are likable, the philosophy is amazing and the animation is BEAUTIFUL!! I really want to see how they do this third film.

Deadpool


Yup, This is the one with the most hype and speculation. The Merc with the mouth is finally going to be on the big screen, and god does this look awesome. We can only hope that this will be good...

Sorry for the delay!

So...yeah, its uh...been a bout a week and uh...I should explain

This week



This week has been hectic to say the least, my entire week end was filled to the brim with shopping for christmas and picking clothes that I 'Want' for 'Gifts'. Not to mention that I got a chance to go to the movies with my sister which is about as rare as finding Bigfoot on a blue moon with a unicorn carrying a basket of four-leaf clovers.

My school work has also been piling up for a very good while, eating up most of my free time and time to work on these, but thankfully the work is going to ease down soon.

Ideas


Ok I gotta be blunt on this one... Im low on ideas guys, granted the "Anime facts" will still be uploaded but I'm really struggling to come up with things to do for this page. Like I've said before I plan on going on subjects beyond anime and manga to open this page up to a wider audience. So if anyone has ideas that they could suggest to me to help make this process easier, please leave them in the comments for me.

Until then everyone thank you all for being patient with me, see ya soon!

The Machete order


Star Wars Episode 7 is coming out!!!


And people are HYPED! This is a new way to introduce the next generation to one of the most popular films of all time!
But one question remains...who will you show the old starters movies to this new generation? Well I -as well as others- came up with an answer..


The Machete order

Now don't worry, this explanation won't contain spoilers of any kind

In this order, you watch episode 4, then episode 5, then episode 3 as a flash back, and finally watch episode 6. This order helps improve the story quite a bit from its original form, for instance;

No Jar Jar Binks

Less awkward acting from the overuse of CGI

No Midi-Chlorians

No weird age gap between Anikin and Padmé

No boring political debates

More tension after episode 5

Yoda's Hubris

No awkward romance dialogue

Not as much humorless Yoda

A bigger emphasis that Luke and Vader are so similar

The reveal of Luke's Sister is much more impactful

It makes the outcome of the last film seem much more unexpected

Yoda's warning is much more ominous


Over all this version of watching the movies is just a better way to watch the series, but let me know what you all think in the comments. Catcha later!
