*inside Crys' brain* Akechi: Nothing better than this place, I would even pay rent for a place like this. *TOC TOC TOC* Akechi: Oh, we don't get visits so often, let's see *goes to open the door* Hello? Komaeda: Hi, my name is Nagito Komaeda, and I'm here to check this place wich is rent free based on this paper. Akechi: Oh! A new one, yeah, this place is for ceirtain people who did "special things", so enter, and tell me, what have you done to get here? Komaeda: Well, it's a long story. Akechi: Don't worry, here we'll have a looooong time to know each other here, so come on, enter already. ... And the story repeats itself.
Honestly seeing the breaking of her psyche while dealing with Nagito was the funniest shit ever. But also, to Crystal's credit, she LITERALLY predicted and described the ENTIRETY of Danganronpa 2's biggest twists and finale since DANGANRONPA 1. The amount of times her theories in 1 were just the ending of 2 had me cackling.
Now that she's playing Danganronpa V3 and feels like the game series has been lying & deceiving her every corner, it feels very fitting. Especially her first guess on Kaede right away, which I will not go into further detail here.
Komaeda: How many layers of causing Crystaahhl distress are you on right now? Akechi: Like maybe 5 or 6, my dude. Komaeda: You are like a little baby. Watch this.
@@RenKium in the 1st stream of this game she said at the very beginning “Ok so… I think that we Invented Despair” and well she ain’t wrong… with the whole tragedy and stuff
@@s.m.a4616 also when play royal she guess goro akechi would shoot joker and Igor wasn't who he said he was.....thro see might just read lots of anime and took education guess where the plot might have gone.
So funfact: "Nagito = Makoto" is actually a purposeful red herring. They share the same talent, the same voice actor/actress between both games, and have a fairly similar outfit. And if you know Japanese Nagito's name has a secret (but false) message: Nagito Komaeda - Na gi to ko ma ae da - Ma ko to na ae gi da - Makoto naegi da - I am Makoto Naegi
@@ethanthaman2858 Yesss, Megumi Ogata! She's fucking amazing, and she's an incredible singer too. In english, Makoto and Nagito's VA is Bryce Papenbrook.
I love it that people always react to Komaeda in a "I hate this dude, but I can't stop thinking about him" kinda way. I have yet to see people who just straight up simp for him, or that genuinely wish he wasn't in the game at all
Then you should watch "Kubz Scouts" playthrough of Danganronpa 2, he's totally a SIMP for Nagito in the first episode, and it gets worse in every class trial lol. He's on UA-cam.
Nagito is honestly a character that is honestly really well crafted, like, the dude is the twisted reflection of the ideas of the first game's protagonist. Like, he goes all in with the whole hope thing, even supporting the group in a twisted way, since he helps everyone who hopes, even the murderers of the game, who hope to get away from the killing game. And also, the way he explains why he is like that, it makes so much sense in a twisted way, it's what he knows, he has always been from hope to despair, from good luck to bad luck and back again, and didn't help his frontotemporal dementia, whose symptoms can be poor impulse control, empathy loss, delusion, euphoria, lack of awareness, this guy is a textbook example of the freaking mental illness, which also makes it even more tragic, because you can't know how much of him was his own doing, or if it was just another trick of his bad luck, that made him unable to realize that what he was doing was fueled by his delusions and his own self-loathing, another trait typical in patients suffering from frontotemporal dementia, so, in his mind, probably he didn't thought that doing what he did was such a loss, specially if it meant helping someone who was able to bring hope. Nagito is a tragic character like I've never seen one before
[SPOILERS FOR V3] Idk if I'd call him well crafted, his definition of his philosophy is so arbitrary and without basis that he can do literally anything and it would somehow be in the name of hope, to me it feels like a writer's short cut to add unpredictability to the killing game and the addition of the "mental illness" plot thread doesn't really makes me sympathize with him because it's barely expanded on at all, however that being said, I can still appreciate that randomness that he brings on its own, even if I'm not personally a fan of his character in terms of the way he's written, imo kokichi is a much better wild card character because you can put on both the lense of "he's doing this for our sake" and the lense of "he's trying to get us killed and win the game" and his actions would consistently make sense through both lenses but it still remains a 50/50 thing which retains the difficulty of predicting his next courses of action
@@TJ_Sind2000 Being honest, I think that has more to do with the fact that hope and despair are way more difficult to work with than what Kokichi worked with. That's exactly why I say that it's good (maybe saying that it was well crafter wasn't exactly the right way to say, but rather that it's coherent). He is the rational extreme of hope, he is what would happen if Makoto Naegi didn't have a moral compass that made him say "Ok, hope is good, but there are things that I'm not going to do for it", and that's honestly what makes me think that Nagito is a good thing in this game, because by twisting the message of the first game and showing it's logical end, it builds up the message of this game of going on, of creating your own future, even though you were in despair, you can continue living and create a future for your own. But I'll admit that Kokichi's character is better than Nagito in the way it presents the conflict in V3, specially since the two positions at play are way less black and white than hope and despair.
@@FenrirWolf203 I don't know I just don't think that they did a good job presenting this rational extreme since it wasn't really rational to begin with, extreme sure but again that's just an addition of spice to the killing game, I get twisting the message of the first game but I think they did that better in the last chapter with makoto basically telling the class to sacrifice themselves for the sake of hope rather than nagito creating chaos for it, I understand why people like him so much I just don't think that he is the way people make him out to be as far as character writing goes, and I say this as someone who has DR2 as their fav entry in the series
Also "Nagito Komaeda" is an anagram of "Makoto Naegi Da", that actually means "Im Makoto Naegi". And, im not 100% sure in the english version, but for the japanese one, they have the same voice actor (Megumi Ogata).
yeah it gets sus sometimes but i just think she just good at getting the clues the games gives you to predict wants gonna happen plus some gut feelings
7:19 fun fact, the creator of the game actually wanted people to think that Nagito and Makoto were the same person. He also insisted that they had the same voice actor. I don't remember why exactly but yeah just something I picked up on lol
You know, it's kind of funny that despite saying he'll support the killer for the sake of hope, Nagito ends up being the MVP in almost every other trial in one way or another. Technically even the last one if you count exploiting his trust in his talent to deduce the answer.
I think it’s because he feels that if they’re unable to outwit someone as “insignificant” as him, they don’t deserve to be anything but a stepping stone for the rest. He’s too self-loathing to realize just how smart he is compared to everyone else.
I mean sure but he's also the reason some of the trials didn't come to a quick end, by making them way more complicated so that's not something to praise him on.
She even guessed that the MC would be the mastermind behind at the very first stream before even beginning to play the game, I couldn't hold my laughter
34:24 Out of all the students only Sonia - maybe Chiaki too - can read English. I'm pretty sure they made it a point several times on different ocasions during the story.

Also I was really impressed at how fast Crystal solved the Final Dead Room! I would not have been able to figure out the Othello puzzle without help😅
@@r34lm78 Hate into curiosity into some form of genuine appreciation is a pretty common Nagito Komaeda experience. Some people enjoy the crazy from the get go, but I've watched plenty of streamers play this and that's very common.
The entire game, Crystahhhl’s sanity has been beaten down and crushed by Nagito and his whacky brain and whacky luck and whacky character. Then Byakuya swoops in, be an asshole and leaves and that makes her happy. It’s hilarious XD
1:36 STOP BEING SMART OMG SHE GUESSED THE MAIN TWIST IMMEDIATELY 16:06 get out. RN YOU STILL NEED TO WATCH THE ANIME FOR THAT ONE this was so enjoyable omg
Man, Nagito really carries this game from an 8 of 10 all the way to the top. You hate him, but can’t help but love him, and even when he’s gone he is still always changing everything
i already commented on your lives, but i loved all the dr2 gameplay! i loved how you read/dubbed their lines, the voices fit very well. this is my favorite danganronpa game and i’m so grateful and happy you brought it! (also your theories on it inspired me a lot, the theory of sonia komaeda could’ve been a good scenario indeed)
Thank you for recognizing how great Fuyohiko is. Honestly one of my favorite characters obviously along with Nagito. And Nagito's trial will forever be one of my absolute favorites. Straight up mind-blowing.
I completely agree. Game 2 Case 2 is my absolute favourite from all the games. It has the right amount of twists and clever clues. But the Nagito case gave me the best "aha" moment, and that's the feeling I chase when playing mystery games.
Kazuichi, I think, is my favorite character. I love how he's got this legitimately threatening punk style design, but he is actually not only arguably the most down-to-earth classmate but a timid, easily frightened kid. I love cowardly lions and hopeless romantics, and he's kind of both. I also read that he's kind of a self insert for the game's lead writer, which is nice.
In order to make up for the fact that I didn’t recognize it was Leon upside down until kirigiri told me, my brain let me read that the password was 11037 the second I saw the hatch ig
I never get to watch Crystaahhl's streams since she's always streaming while I'm in bed. But daaaaaaaaaaaang her break down on the scenes in SDR2 is perfect
I genuinely don't want this to come across as a sub vs dub opinion but if you ever have the time, *please* try to experience sub Nagito at least once in your life, you won't regret it.
This. I feel like Crystal would appreciate it, hes so soft and serene and unsettling sounding, completely different vibe over the sarcastic prick in english. I like both, but Japanese is still top tier.
I second this. While some of the dub voices are very amazing, Nagito I feel like has the weakest one and should be experienced in Japanese. Totally different character. Maybe that's why I liked him throughout the whole game 😂 In Japanese he sounds genuinely soft and friendly, which makes his character even creepier considering his actions. His VA is just perfect 👌
Agreed. ^^ Also... this is a very random rec, but here's Nagito's lines (mainly from the first trial), put into Senbonzakura. xD ua-cam.com/video/Q4h5L4DPpKY/v-deo.html
Fun fact! When you are skipping through the video by pressing the numbered keys, there is a 60%(6/10) chance, that the video is on something related to Nagito. Whether it be Crystaahhl breaking down because of him, or just him being a silly goof. Really shows how much Nagito stole the game huh?
11:55 it was back rubs. Coach Nekomaru gives great back rubs since he's a ultimate team leader. So Akane wanted another back rub poor thing. From Akanes background she's been groped at by almost every man she's met but Coach Nekomaru didn't approach her like that so she was particularly close to him in the game
Only 1 minute and 40 seconds in this vid and she already accurately guessed the plot of the third game by accident are we all sure she isn't the ultimate clairvoyant lmao
This was such a fun ride to experience live. This installment is my favorite out of the trilogy and having experienced it all again with these streams felt like I was playing the game all over again for the first time [besides the trials and their outcomes :P]. I was genuinely happy you did Nagito's free time events because the usual player wouldn't want to understand him more, so that was a fun bonus to watch. Your slow descent to both hating and loving Nagito was real funny to watch. He's quite the interesting character and trying to understand/study his actions is half the fun, at least for me. If you're interested, you should check out the Ultimate Development Plan and Danganronpa S to see Nagito's interactions without the killing game aspects. It's some nice small insight to understanding this complex character. Other than that, I look forward to seeing you play V3 since I really enjoy your commentary! Keep up the good work !
I HIGHLY recommend Your Turn To Die after you do V3. It's very good, and while not as goofy, the characters are AMAZING! If you play it you won't regret it. (It's free on a computer btw)
Crystal and Danganronpa is An Experience with captial letters I enjoyed those streams so much. Also, whoever divided this video into it's three sections, you win a comedy award of your choosing. That shit is hilarious
I actually recommend watching the anime that follows directly after Danganronpa 2. After playing the first two games my partner told me to watch the anime which is basically the cannon ending and is split into two parts, the future and the past and explains alot of the things that we see in the games but all wrapped up. It covers how Hope Peak academy happened, the Remnants of Despair and the Future Foundation along with, naturally, what happens after the second game. It's a really nice conclusion and it gives the closure you need with all the characters you come to love, so give it a watch!
I'm watching GameGrumps playing this so UA-cam was ADAMANT to see your video. Had to stop around 17 minutes to avoid spoilers but this has been a lot of fun! Great work, have an amazing day :)
see, the thing is, Makotoand Nagito have different luck Makoto - bad luck except at the moments that matter, then it's insanely good luck. Mondo's slip of the tongue, those easily missed bits of evidence.... Nagito - Able to manipulate his luck to the insanest of of degrees, to the point that basically the outcome he wants is what will happen when it comes to chance. The russian roulette, his own death. It was exactly as he had played it out. He just did not account for one thing. Once he was dead, he couldn't influence chance anymore, and the others finally broke through in the fifth trial.
This is not the right interpretation of Nagito's ability. Nagito is still alive in the real world, so his luck would still be working. Also, Nagito lamented that he could not wield his luck to its full extent in his FTE. He could manipulate it to some degree, but he cannot completely determine the outcome. The most obvious to this is how he cannot prevent his luck from affecting the people he cared for or that he ended up getting life threatening diseases.
You can check the wikia if you want more details on the matter but to sum it up: - Nagito's diagnosis and backstory are true, but he didn't want Hajime to feel bad about him so he said he just read it somewhere. - In the last FTE he says "I truly am in love with the hope inside you". In the JP version he starts saying "I truly am in love with you" then quickly changes it into "...the hope inside you" before finishing the sentence.
It's funny. Cos the way I see it Nagito is into Hajime, but Hajime sees Nagito as a 'friend?'. Honestly I'm not sure how Hajime sees Nagito, but it ain't romantic. To be super clear this is just what I got from playing. I'm not trying to attack the ship.
@@tobyharris4777 Yeah I defo see where your coming from don’t worry about it, they both have a very complex relationship. It would make more since for Nagito to want to be friends with someone then lovers more likely, because he has never had a real friend before. But they definitely do have some tension, it could be mocking friend-enemy type of tension, or something else deeper love or not. But they both do try to understand eachother, but it’s difficult for them because all their lives they have both been trapped in their own bubble, so take it as you will, don’t ever feel forced to ship something you don’t 👍👍
34:00 ha! Jokes on you. I had crazy Nagito as both my YT and discord PFP for several months. And Nagito, Kokichi, and Gundham are my favorites, and I get the feeling you shall shall see the power of Oma when you play V3.
I'm loving the chaotic feels for Nagito - it reminds me exactly of my feelings when I first played. It got to the point that I was actually wanting Hajime to kill him, even if it meant getting executed, but at the same time I thought Nagito was freaking hilarious. When we finally saw Nagito's death scene, I loudly cheered, applauded the computer, and shouted THANK YOU several times. I was then feeling sad ten minutes later because I missed his craziness. No game has ever made me constantly switch between my emotions for a character and I commend the game writers for this insane character.
This is fantastic in quality crystaahhl!!! Your streams were also great. The editing is on point and was really well put together. Much love from me and the rest of the community. I already see the change you wanted to put into the channel and it's been fantastic. Also everyone follows CrystaahhlStreams In case you want to see here full playthrough of this and other games.

Also I was really impressed at how fast Crystal solved the Final Dead Room! I would not have been able to figure out the Othello puzzle without help😅
- gacha and dancing
The Othello thing, I think it becomes easier if you make a diagram of the lights row by row
Can’t forget the Surfshark VPN plugs
Just watching her telling how she hate Nagito is just... So satisfying.
it really is, fully agree
@@annuyaki I hate this guy
Agreed wholeheartedly. You love to see it!
I will respectfully disagree, but it is interesting to see a new opinion for a change
@@r34lm78 Hate into curiosity into some form of genuine appreciation is a pretty common Nagito Komaeda experience.
Some people enjoy the crazy from the get go, but I've watched plenty of streamers play this and that's very common.
crystal's attitude with nagito is very much hajime's own opinion of nagito
33:29 She lied as naturally as she breathed
Teruteru: *Exists*
Crys: I'm just gonna ignore that
As we should
*Sees title*
Oh, we broke her.
Is she frickin psychic or does she just have really good intuition?! Literally cracked the code before the plot even started
nagito pushes crystaahhl further and further into alcoholism
Losing sanity is needed if you're dealing with Nagito 🤣
Just so you know, Gundham didn’t cast that spell to protect himself. He cast it to protect his hamsters.
that is a fan theory
I feel like he was just fighting until the very end like hes been doing the whole time.
@@amitly7471 A GAME THEORY
I think it's neat that Hajime shares the same voice actor as Adachi and Yu Narukami.
The entire game, Crystahhhl’s sanity has been beaten down and crushed by Nagito and his whacky brain and whacky luck and whacky character.
Then Byakuya swoops in, be an asshole and leaves and that makes her happy. It’s hilarious XD
> Casually tells everyone to tell a stuffed toy that there is no more need to provide motives
> Doesn't elaborate further as to why
> Leaves
> is asked if he was supporting the killer or the others
> says he's on the side of hope and refuses to elaborate
> immediately leaves
I'm sensing a pattern here
the chapters are literally the only emotions any of us had while playing
first 30 seconds: yeah game is fun
the other 5 hours: g a m e i s n a g i t o
It's hilarious that they didn't even change the button prompts for the "guess a killer' joke
That was the perfect reaction at 21:27 with the dramatic strings.
Despite the revelation about Her, Chiaki is still THE BEST Girl/ Waifu of Danganronopa
Also Monomi’s theme is a absolute Banger
I mean the revelation about her is she's the only one of the group that *isn't* a terrorist, so yeah best girl lol
Nope to the 1st one, but yes to the 2nd one
@@chesney1995 yassss!!!!!
1:36 STOP BEING SMART OMG SHE GUESSED THE MAIN TWIST IMMEDIATELY
16:06 get out. RN YOU STILL NEED TO WATCH THE ANIME FOR THAT ONE
this was so enjoyable omg
Next game spoilers
I bet when she gets to v3 she will directly figure out what’s about the logo
Man, Nagito really carries this game from an 8 of 10 all the way to the top. You hate him, but can’t help but love him, and even when he’s gone he is still always changing everything
This video was A BANGER. The gradual nagito obsession was wonderful to see
I know right??
Alternative title:
"Nagito Komaeda: From chill to confused to straight up sanity losing"
I love that everyone that plays DR2 has that moment in the 5th trial where they go "Wait.... WAIT SHIT NO"
i already commented on your lives, but i loved all the dr2 gameplay! i loved how you read/dubbed their lines, the voices fit very well. this is my favorite danganronpa game and i’m so grateful and happy you brought it! (also your theories on it inspired me a lot, the theory of sonia komaeda could’ve been a good scenario indeed)
"Who died and made you protagonist?!?"
Such a good line lmfao
This is how Danganronpa 2 was meant to be played, with some hope, despair and a side of Nagito to go with it! ;)
Thank you for recognizing how great Fuyohiko is. Honestly one of my favorite characters obviously along with Nagito.
And Nagito's trial will forever be one of my absolute favorites. Straight up mind-blowing.
Receiving Nagito's undergarments as a gift is something I was not at all prepared to read
I know
I completely agree. Game 2 Case 2 is my absolute favourite from all the games. It has the right amount of twists and clever clues. But the Nagito case gave me the best "aha" moment, and that's the feeling I chase when playing mystery games.
Omg your reactions are HILARIOUS. I absolutely imagine Hajime doing the same thing as you toward Nagito, just grabbing head, "pls stop talking" XD
I laughed so hard at the "let's shut this game down" bit
It's so much fun to see your stress level rise every time Nagito is on screen
Kazuichi, I think, is my favorite character.
I love how he's got this legitimately threatening punk style design, but he is actually not only arguably the most down-to-earth classmate but a timid, easily frightened kid.
I love cowardly lions and hopeless romantics, and he's kind of both.
I also read that he's kind of a self insert for the game's lead writer, which is nice.
Oh my goodness Nagito 😆
This is why we all love you
Your crazy personality and the hope you grasp for
I imagine Hajime making the same faces she does and thinking everything she says and it's funny snsjbsshbww
Crystal when Byakuya shows up: YEAH LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Me when Byakuya shows up: God dammit why wasn't it Aoi or Hiro
I adore how Chrystahl manages to be so implausibly correct and wildly wrong at the same time
In order to make up for the fact that I didn’t recognize it was Leon upside down until kirigiri told me, my brain let me read that the password was 11037 the second I saw the hatch ig
I never get to watch Crystaahhl's streams since she's always streaming while I'm in bed. But daaaaaaaaaaaang her break down on the scenes in SDR2 is perfect
I genuinely don't want this to come across as a sub vs dub opinion but if you ever have the time, *please* try to experience sub Nagito at least once in your life, you won't regret it.
This. I feel like Crystal would appreciate it, hes so soft and serene and unsettling sounding, completely different vibe over the sarcastic prick in english. I like both, but Japanese is still top tier.
Its just makoto naegi but more air XD
I second this. While some of the dub voices are very amazing, Nagito I feel like has the weakest one and should be experienced in Japanese. Totally different character. Maybe that's why I liked him throughout the whole game 😂 In Japanese he sounds genuinely soft and friendly, which makes his character even creepier considering his actions. His VA is just perfect 👌
Agreed. ^^ Also... this is a very random rec, but here's Nagito's lines (mainly from the first trial), put into Senbonzakura. xD ua-cam.com/video/Q4h5L4DPpKY/v-deo.html
We got the weebs over here 🙄
3:15 It's funny that she actually predicted that plotpoint that early in the game.
Ho boy its DR2 time. Hope the boys and girls have been dope and not spoiled anything to her in the streams.
Hopefully not
Fun fact! When you are skipping through the video by pressing the numbered keys, there is a 60%(6/10) chance, that the video is on something related to Nagito. Whether it be Crystaahhl breaking down because of him, or just him being a silly goof. Really shows how much Nagito stole the game huh?
47:33 I swear I can't help but see Sora when I look at Makoto!
If they ever replace Haley Joel Osment (which I hope they don't) Bryce Pappenbrook would probably be a top-tier pick to voice Sora.
Freaking love the timestamps for this one "Game is Nagito" XD
I can See one of the next Videos
Nagito Komaeda - a Story from confusion to...even bigger confusion
Watching the streams reminded me why I like DR2 so much... and reignited my love for this crazy hope man lol. Thanks for the great reactions!
"WHO DIED AND MADE YOU PROTAGONIST" had me dying
11:55 it was back rubs. Coach Nekomaru gives great back rubs since he's a ultimate team leader. So Akane wanted another back rub poor thing.
From Akanes background she's been groped at by almost every man she's met but Coach Nekomaru didn't approach her like that so she was particularly close to him in the game
that was a mood "who is he? he's looking into my soul"
Nagito: i *hope* we can get along Crystal !
I’ve been waiting with bated breath for you to play 2 JUST so you could meet Nagito.
Only 1 minute and 40 seconds in this vid and she already accurately guessed the plot of the third game by accident are we all sure she isn't the ultimate clairvoyant lmao
At this point I would pay her for my fortune
Fun fact at least 65% of her theories were right
Still better than Yasuhiro.
75%, common middle ground.
little did we know she is actually the ultimate theorist
This was such a fun ride to experience live. This installment is my favorite out of the trilogy and having experienced it all again with these streams felt like I was playing the game all over again for the first time [besides the trials and their outcomes :P]. I was genuinely happy you did Nagito's free time events because the usual player wouldn't want to understand him more, so that was a fun bonus to watch. Your slow descent to both hating and loving Nagito was real funny to watch. He's quite the interesting character and trying to understand/study his actions is half the fun, at least for me. If you're interested, you should check out the Ultimate Development Plan and Danganronpa S to see Nagito's interactions without the killing game aspects. It's some nice small insight to understanding this complex character.
Other than that, I look forward to seeing you play V3 since I really enjoy your commentary! Keep up the good work !
I HIGHLY recommend Your Turn To Die after you do V3. It's very good, and while not as goofy, the characters are AMAZING! If you play it you won't regret it. (It's free on a computer btw)
OMG YESS Ahhh I love yttd!! In my opinion it’s a bit more intense than DR
The Nagito hate to Nagito love pipeline we've all gone through
OK but that "souda is going to accidently kill nekomaru" theory would have been such an amazing idea
If you rearrange Nagito Komaeda, you get "Makoto Naegi da".
I would be surprised if no one has told her this yet.
Crystal and Danganronpa is An Experience with captial letters I enjoyed those streams so much. Also, whoever divided this video into it's three sections, you win a comedy award of your choosing. That shit is hilarious
39:33 - 39:38 Basically how i reacted to this moment too the first time. xD
I actually recommend watching the anime that follows directly after Danganronpa 2. After playing the first two games my partner told me to watch the anime which is basically the cannon ending and is split into two parts, the future and the past and explains alot of the things that we see in the games but all wrapped up.
It covers how Hope Peak academy happened, the Remnants of Despair and the Future Foundation along with, naturally, what happens after the second game.
It's a really nice conclusion and it gives the closure you need with all the characters you come to love, so give it a watch!
I'm watching GameGrumps playing this so UA-cam was ADAMANT to see your video. Had to stop around 17 minutes to avoid spoilers but this has been a lot of fun! Great work, have an amazing day :)
Always enjoyable watching someone getting the Full Komaeda Experience.
see, the thing is, Makotoand Nagito have different luck
Makoto - bad luck except at the moments that matter, then it's insanely good luck. Mondo's slip of the tongue, those easily missed bits of evidence....
Nagito - Able to manipulate his luck to the insanest of of degrees, to the point that basically the outcome he wants is what will happen when it comes to chance. The russian roulette, his own death. It was exactly as he had played it out. He just did not account for one thing. Once he was dead, he couldn't influence chance anymore, and the others finally broke through in the fifth trial.
This is not the right interpretation of Nagito's ability. Nagito is still alive in the real world, so his luck would still be working. Also, Nagito lamented that he could not wield his luck to its full extent in his FTE. He could manipulate it to some degree, but he cannot completely determine the outcome. The most obvious to this is how he cannot prevent his luck from affecting the people he cared for or that he ended up getting life threatening diseases.
Love how the video chapters have the same loss in sanity as the vod description lolol
You can check the wikia if you want more details on the matter but to sum it up:
- Nagito's diagnosis and backstory are true, but he didn't want Hajime to feel bad about him so he said he just read it somewhere.
- In the last FTE he says "I truly am in love with the hope inside you". In the JP version he starts saying "I truly am in love with you" then quickly changes it into "...the hope inside you" before finishing the sentence.
Nagito: breathes
CrystAAHHL: i hate him
every lets player ive watched.. HAS ALWAYS SEEN THE TENSION BETWEEN HAJIME AND NAGITO LIKE WHATTT! EVEN PEOPLE WHO DON’T SHIP THEM SEE IT LMFAO.
It's funny. Cos the way I see it Nagito is into Hajime, but Hajime sees Nagito as a 'friend?'. Honestly I'm not sure how Hajime sees Nagito, but it ain't romantic. To be super clear this is just what I got from playing. I'm not trying to attack the ship.
@@tobyharris4777 Yeah I defo see where your coming from don’t worry about it, they both have a very complex relationship. It would make more since for Nagito to want to be friends with someone then lovers more likely, because he has never had a real friend before. But they definitely do have some tension, it could be mocking friend-enemy type of tension, or something else deeper love or not. But they both do try to understand eachother, but it’s difficult for them because all their lives they have both been trapped in their own bubble, so take it as you will, don’t ever feel forced to ship something you don’t 👍👍
I love how this whole video is just CrystAAHHL's love/hate relationship with Nagito XD
34:00 ha! Jokes on you. I had crazy Nagito as both my YT and discord PFP for several months. And Nagito, Kokichi, and Gundham are my favorites, and I get the feeling you shall shall see the power of Oma when you play V3.
I'm loving the chaotic feels for Nagito - it reminds me exactly of my feelings when I first played.
It got to the point that I was actually wanting Hajime to kill him, even if it meant getting executed, but at the same time I thought Nagito was freaking hilarious.
When we finally saw Nagito's death scene, I loudly cheered, applauded the computer, and shouted THANK YOU several times. I was then feeling sad ten minutes later because I missed his craziness.
No game has ever made me constantly switch between my emotions for a character and I commend the game writers for this insane character.
This is fantastic in quality crystaahhl!!! Your streams were also great. The editing is on point and was really well put together. Much love from me and the rest of the community. I already see the change you wanted to put into the channel and it's been fantastic. Also everyone follows CrystaahhlStreams In case you want to see here full playthrough of this and other games. Well done 👏
Oh this is amazing I love your videos!
Also fun fact Hajime is played by Johnny yong Bosch who played adachi in persona 4
Komaeda is Bryce papenbrook like Naegi was, and tbh I don’t remember many others rn rip
glad you ended up liking nagito as much as the rest of us
I love how violated you felt when you swapped to Nagito
Loved your playthrough! Also, the video-editing got a lot better, I'm impressed ^^
Best of luck with V3! 🍀🍀🍀🍀✨
