Upon looking back at this after finishing the game this part makes so much sense to me now. They really were dropping off subtle foreshadowing in here It seems that the intro was also foreshadowing the other chapters here too 1:37, you'll need to slow down the video a bit but you can see the silhouettes of the major characters in each chapter
And while case are fairly simple, the overall story IS really good with it's fair share of really great twist. I think (AT the end of chapter 3 with Fubuki) that I understand what IS the Real secret of Kanai Ward but It's shivering. I dread to think I'm right. I think the worst is yet to come.
@@samueldegrey7718 I was right. But I wasn't expecting the meat bread secret 🤢. I'm hoping for a sequel (I think it will be Kurumi's as the mc this time).
Its a shame how underrated this game is, I love mystery and the game made me feel so smart and stupid simultaneously and the plot was incredible im not gonna go into details, if you havent played the game stop reading comments, dont spoil yourself experience it blind, the game has some faults and mystery labryinths take some time getting used to but the highs make the game incredible
So I came back to this after beating the game to catch the foreshadowing that I missed the first time around. Here’s what I noticed (do not expand if you do not want spoilers): 1. At the beginning, Yuma gives a smirk that seems uncharacteristic of him. That’s because it’s not the Yuma we’re familiar with, but Number One. 2. Yakou and Kanai Tower are given focus in the exact same shot, hinting at the homunculus plot twist and Makoto’s true connection to the city. 3. The dark hallways with the neon lighting hint at each chapter. The first hallway shows a Nail Man victim from Chapter 1, the second hallway shows Kurumi to represent Chapter 2, the third hallway shows the fake Number One calling the NDA, the fourth hallway shows the Peacekeepers to represent Chapter 3, the fifth hallway shows Ama-Pal from Chapter 4, and the sixth hallway shows Yuma surrounded by mist, which represents desolate places like the restricted area in Chapter 5. Yuma is also shown grabbing a Mystery Labyrinth’s final Solution Key in this hallway, hinting at the final confrontation against Makoto. 4. When the black box opens, we see a shadowy figure with glowing red eyes, hinting at both the zombies and the berserk homunculi. This same shadow appears later being confronted by Yuma, this time not only representing the final confrontation against Makoto, but also hinting at the plot twist of Makoto being Yuma’s homunculus. 5. This opening is the first time we learn Makoto’s name instead of his actual introduction, which seems odd because of the fact that his name was hidden from the promotional material. Not only that, but his last name, Kagutsuchi, is the name of the Japanese god of fire. Also, the fact that Makoto appears in the intro but the Peacekeeper leaders other than Yomi and Martina don’t is a major hint that Makoto’s more important to the plot than he appears. 6. The colored silhouettes not only represent characters important to that chapter, but the pink/purple silhouettes are all characters who were taken out of the picture in that respective chapter. For Chapters 0, 1, and 2, it’s Pucci, the priest, and Yoshiko, who all died, while for Chapter 4, it’s Yomi, who was arrested.
Also adding this section : [Spoiler] 1. When Yuma was sucked into cube and the black cube exposed to shadow figures, it represents the cliffhanger of ch 4 when they got drugged by makoto's cube. 2. Also, after the cube scene we got another character introduction, and guess what, it's Martina, who supposedly punished by Yomi (and guess the punishment was)
@@wurtknurte7283, also spoilers Although RAINCODE’s Makoto is clearly a separate character, he, much like Nagito, is clearly a reimagined version of THH’s Makoto. Their birthdays are on very similar dates, the design is clearly very inspired (especially by DISTRUST’s Makoto), and he also has similar, hopeful and leader-like persona. Also, in the final labyrinth on Chapter 5, Makoto‘s phantom (disguised as Yuma’s) shoots with bullets of the truth, clearly referencing DISTRUST and Trigger Happy Havoc.
Yeah both Albedo's and Yoimiya's VAs are here too! I started to like Desuhiko even more after I learned who his VA is lol Edit: also Dori's and I think that's all
same with the zero escape games, imo i think they tried to go 3d too early on those as back then their 2d art was so much better but having this level of graphics for vlr and ztd would be great
@@cyntheziserlegitimately going to ask but i havent unlocked anything to be able to play this yet, im on chapter 1 mid labyrinth and still cant find a way to play the opening again. any update on this?
@@veneratwixthey clearly said they will use unity engine to it's limit tho. 2d with 3d engine wpuld look weird. This is more like ai the somnium files kimda game but more interactive
I lvoeee the designs in this game. They all follow a very neon aesthetic. Which I LOVE to see, it's especially visible in, Yuma's cape, Halara's glasses, Vivias jacket and Seths dangling hoodie strap thingies (they're adorable btw.) Also Makoto Kagutsuchi has such an amazing and interesting design and is such a good character. istg.
I totally understand where you are coming from. I also perfer Danganronpa’s more colorful cast of characters, but I also think Komatsuzaki was going for a different look these characters. The designs are more subdued and grayish. The colorful Danganronpa designs wouldn’t really fit in this game since Kanai Ward isn’t a very bright and colorful place.
thing is, each danganronpa game had a different aesthetic of kinds. Idrk where to put DR1, but DR2 had a very bright, saturated and colourful aesthetic, V3 had a very noir, sci-fi cyberpunk theme to it's designs, and Raincode's designs are more calm, they look like how I imagine parts of Kanai ward would look as characters. idk how to put it, their designs emit an aura of rainfall, and the neon included in a lot of the designs works so well.@@kiddkd7242
Lucien Dodge went from voicing a perverted character, then a temporary protagonist, and now a permanent protagonist.
0:50 The way this foreshadowed each of the upcoming chapters in order is fantastic.

Trying to dodge spoilers while slowly playing through the game as a working adult with limited game time is the struggle
you got that right, sadly the more days go by the more I accidentally stumble upon spoilers and can't play much because of work
And while case are fairly simple, the overall story IS really good with it's fair share of really great twist.
I think (AT the end of chapter 3 with Fubuki) that I understand what IS the Real secret of Kanai Ward but It's shivering. I dread to think I'm right.
I think the worst is yet to come.
I just beat the game last night (after about two weeks), and yeah I got a couple spoilers thrown at me, but I mostly succeeded in dodging them heh.
@@sterenn726 Did you guess it right?
I would say I predicted about 1/2 of the mystery before the final chapter.
@@samueldegrey7718 I was right. But I wasn't expecting the meat bread secret 🤢.
I'm hoping for a sequel (I think it will be Kurumi's as the mc this time).
The choir really put the entire thing together, its my favorite parts
Agreed.
Yeah, especially with that part with the dark hallways! So forboding!
I dont know why but I cant get enough of Yuma and Shinigami both smirking at the beginning of the intro
I keep coming back here just to rewatch the intro and i never noticed they were smirking 😭 Its kinda satisfying to see them smirk idk why
Its a shame how underrated this game is, I love mystery and the game made me feel so smart and stupid simultaneously and the plot was incredible im not gonna go into details, if you havent played the game stop reading comments, dont spoil yourself experience it blind, the game has some faults and mystery labryinths take some time getting used to but the highs make the game incredible
Any man who loves both Persona 3 and Rain Code obviously has excellent tastes, cheers!

1:11 can't we just appreciate that Yuma in that moment looked so badass? I wonder why...🌝
1:23 The preorder Yuma Kokohead figurine when the redditor puts him in a jar
-NNO
YOU DIDN’T-💀
stop it
the opening is absolutely gorgeous, and extremely hype inducing!! aaaah!!!
1. Awesome intro
2. This game is literally if Danganronpa and Persona had a baby.
THANK YOU!! That’s what I’ve been saying since the game’s announcement trailer LAST YEAR!!!!
Or maybe Makoto and Kyoko merged together.
I also have Ai The Somnium files vibes while playing it , only a little
More of Soul Hacker than Persona (but still Shin Megami Tensei).
There is not enough games with fantastical élément in cyberpunk.
this game has forever changed and impacted my life and i cant thank it enough
Just to the part where this plays. So fucking raw. This game is gonna be great.
this game became one of my top 5 of all time.
Just finished playing this game and it was awesome!
Can u imagine if they had an opening at chapter 0 which included the ones that died. Just to fuck with everyone even more
I love how they put them on the box art, lol
i can finally play this game later tonight

Yeah both Albedo's and Yoimiya's VAs are here too! I started to like Desuhiko even more after I learned who his VA is lol
Edit: also Dori's and I think that's all
I can *FEEL* the Danganronpa here…
one of the characters calls Makoto at the same time.
they really like this name.
A remake of Danganronpa Ultra Despair Girls with these graphics would be nice!
same with the zero escape games, imo i think they tried to go 3d too early on those as back then their 2d art was so much better but having this level of graphics for vlr and ztd would be great
Yes. But I wonder if it would be approved for a Nintendo Switch port… :(
*No.*
This song is amazing
Nice opening I'm bobbing my head and doing the butterfly to this lol
The choir is my favorite aspect.
Opening looks dope nothing more to say, except what kinda Yasuhiro weed was someone smoking at this part 1:20
they really cooked with this one
It sucks that this is only on Switch. Why didn’t they port this to all consoles?
I have good news for you if you still haven't seen the announcement! Its releasing on all platforms oct 1st as Rain Code +

Just a question. Did you obtain the opening in the main menu after a amount of time ? (after of course, have unlock the opening in the story)
I don't think so, I've beaten the game and haven't unlocked this.
You obtain the opening after the Prologue I believe.

That's probably just the imbodiment of the the mystery that our protagonist has to solve
I had high hopes for this opening. I would like to see it in the style of previous games.
What was disappointing about it?
@@pn2294 I wanted to see more 2d-elements. For example, characters in the form of full-fledged art that were present in Danganronpa.
Nah, this was great

@@veneratwix It could be a concept to post on UA-cam
So... It's just danganronpa more edition
Danganronpa 4
When release for pc / steam ? That's game worth it?
THey said it's goign to be a switch exclusive. No plans to bring it to other consoles.
Best vn opening ever
Welcome to DanganRonpa's spin-off!
This is one of the best openings I’ve ever seen for a video game. Game sucked. But this opening BANGS.
Nah the game was good
Characters look boring asf I prefer Danganronpa designs tho
This is only my opinion but I prefer. It looks way more serious. Personaly, I wanted a come back of mire serious design as dr Thh
I actually like all of the designs personally.
I lvoeee the designs in this game. They all follow a very neon aesthetic. Which I LOVE to see, it's especially visible in, Yuma's cape, Halara's glasses, Vivias jacket and Seths dangling hoodie strap thingies (they're adorable btw.)
