The BEST Danganronpa Character Arc - Byakuya Togami
Вставка

- Have you ever noticed how much Byakuya Togami grows as the games/anime goes on? No? Oh well, don't worry. I used my brain for you, you're welcome you're welcome. I know I'm great aren't I?
Enough jokes, Byakuya Togami has a lot of depth to his character which I feel like often gets overlooked. So I took it upon myself to write about my favorite danganronpa character. I hope you all enjoy! I think his character arc is absolutely gorgeous!
Also I hope you liked the editing style, I'm experimenting with new methods. Also that terrible background, yee boi I created that myself. I have another additon planned but that's most likely not going to be finished until the next two videos at the very least. I think you guys will like it!
I guess it's time to plug my twitter just like the amazing Jarvis Johnson, always be plugging. / lailaivibes
If you tag me in art or honestly anything, I'll reply! I love talking to you all!

Something I wanted to point out but didn’t fit in the script: All three antags follow the same mindset but follow three different outcomes.
Byakuya: Not trusting others, but grows in the end to trust and live with his friends.
Nagito: Not trusting others, and tries to take them all out with him.
Kokichi: Not trusting others and takes himself out while trying to save everyone else.
I just thought it was neat to point out.
NnnOOOOO KOKichi 😭
Man people need to appreciate Kokichi for who he really is 👏
@@gravyswayze62 Not often you see an antagonist who tries so hard to be helpful toward the protagonist.
Yeah true
Kokichi was the best one though
Junko kidnapped Byakuya’s personal butler. Considering that he was always competing with his half-siblings to please his father, his butler was probably the closest thing he had to a genuine companion in his life.
The only one who amade him felt like a real person.
Yeah was going to put that
Shinobu left the chat
Lol yeah
@@scarlightemperor3410mhm
Makoto: What's your talent, Togami?
Togami: *Cash, cash, m o n e.*
Loll
He really went from “you’re not poggers” to
“You’re poggers”
more like "you're kinda almost poggers"
Lol true
Byakuya and Makoto's bromance is phenomenal, homies helping each other out.
Also when he smiled at Yasuhiro when he found him outside the Future Foundation HQ I was just like "😭 that's my dawg man"
I absolutely adore their dynamic
Late but it’s SOO cute man-
No wonder people ship them. Platonically or romantically, they have a great dynamic.
*oh*
@@Byakuya_Togami- togami😰
I feel as if byakuya’s arc was very overlooked by the community, considering he went from an antagonist to a person who is helping restore hope to the world, ik the other antags are more popular, but byakuya has a lot to offer :D
Also Aloysius Pennyworth was Byakuya’s butler, and was stated to be one of the only people byakuya opened up to. He was the kidnapped victim for byakuya’s motive.
It really is! I don’t blame people because the others are more open with their development but Byakuya is an amazing character!
I am reading Danganronpa Togami Volume 2 and Byakuya is my favorite antagonist!
Mhm
@@LaiLaiVibesTrue
His motive video actually was his Butler, no one from his family, as he saw his Butler as a father more than his actual dad
MYYYY HEEEAAAARRRTTTTTYT
As a Byakuya stan I kind of have an explanation for his actions in chapter 2. Simply put, he knew about Genocide Jack, her victim patterns, and knew that he would probably be made a target. Now, he wasn't the most trust worthy so people would surely accuse him if lying if he just said it so he crafted a scenario for her to out herself on his own. By making both Genocide Jacks presence, and her style of murder public knowledge, he's possibly spared both himself and several other students from death at her hands, since if she used the same techniques it could now be traced back. That's my explanation anyway
Yeah
@@DazaiOsammuwe like 2 years late😭haha how nice im not the only one in 2024
Byakuya's hostage is confirmed in UDG to have been his butler so yes, all of his family members were killed.
True
this actually made me like Togami more-
Same
same.
Same
Same
I am the greatest villain of all time
My favourite arc will always be fuyuhiko's but hearing you explain his honestly made me realise he was nt just a terrible guy. I always found him to be a funny very memeable character rather than a threat (I know all the male antags are like that but togami especially) but seeing him change so much without me even realising is amazing. Byakuya is good rich man even if he was a brat who meddles with courpses
Nice
It's always the blondes in Danganronpa that gets amazing development
Yes even kinda Hiyoko at the Hope arc anime
If you’re not blonde, take the L 😔
@@LaiLaiVibes forgot to add Keade 😭
@@teamili7957 kaede didn’t attend the meeting in time
:D
@@teamili7957 keade is already perfect
You can also see his development through dialogue. It's subtle but it's there.
In the epilogue of THH, Hiro offers the others if they want there fortunes told he'd come, Byakuya does say he'd be annoyed by agrees to let him come by if anything were to come up.(whether or if he bothers listening)
In both Ultra Despair girls/SDR2 in the Epilogues, he says similar lines to Makoto, "Guess i'll fight alongside you for a little while longer." Though it's said a little more sincerely in Ultra Despair Girls(though that could be the mood in both Epilogues)
Though these lines do show that he does like the presence of the others and doesn't mind them being around, even if it annoys him sometimes.(which is an improvement from how he was in the beginning of the 1st game.
Yep
I highly recommend reading the Togami light novels for more insight on Byakuya's character, including what happened in the fight to become heir. I haven't finished them yet, but WOW. He was already my favorite character, and that increased tenfold by the time I read about his winning his place as heir.
Omg where c an I read them?!?!?
also i feel like byakuya should be more like the person to fuck up the trial itself with his words instead of the tampering he did in chapter 2
Lmao
Byakuya is one of my favourite characters from Danganronpa and this video was great at showing that.
GOD this, this this this, the amount of times that I've used all these points to analyze and defend Byakuya like LISTEN HE'S A JERK BUT HE'S *MY* JERK
He's!! Such a good character!! And I'm so tired of people not getting that!!
This is a brilliant analysis and I literally adore it sm jhdgk.
Edit: Also look I know you didn't say Naegami rights here explicitly but gOD NAEGAMI RIGHTS-
Naegami rights 💜
@@LaiLaiVibes You: *Talks about how close they are and how Makoto knew exactly what to say to pull him from despair*
Me, sobbing: SO TRUE BESTIE-
Naegami rights
More people need to see this. I wish people knew a bit more about his development because I personally think he has the best development in all the games. It wasn’t too outright and completely obvious and it wasn’t completely subtle either which is kinda the problem I have with fuyuhiko’s development. It’s a bit too outright (even though I do love his development.) thanks for making this. Have a nice day
I’ve always loved Byakuya as a character. Like, dude got knocked from his pedestal just to bounce back in a more positive and thus powerful way, always there to help others out. He’s become so much more than when he started out, and also became less cold. One can’t help but appreciate him.
Lol same
His character development is one of the reason the THH cast is my favorite. I feel satisfied seeing their interations growing more and more friendly, and I kinda want to see them again, like I wanna know how is the new Hope's Peak doing, has Toko been an official member yet, what the cast are doing with Future Foundation, etc.
Great video btw 💖
I LOVED him even at the beginning, because I relate to him a lot. But damn, he had the best development in the whole series.
"You're not very poggers" 😂
I love byakuya so much more than i did before not only cause of this video but cause of the server as well-- ajsdhfk i used to lowkey hate him
You’ve been converted to the Byakubitch supremacy cult, welcome
same! i used to be like “oh yes byakuya very funny man” but now he’s an extreme comfort and i love him sm lmao
Yeah
@@HazylaExactly
@@adricantpickauserHe is very funny though
Y-yes
People hate this character and I don’t get how they hate him. I mean, I get why, but I don’t get HOW. He’s just… someone I can’t physically hate for the life of me.
_"Fell free to call me Ultimate Perfection"_
There's no denying that Togami's arc was quite complicated, but simple. The heir to the Togami corp. destined to win since his very birth facing The Tragedy, made by nothing more'n less than one of his classmates. Well, i haven't reade DR: Togami, but his development in DR: Future is indeed clear.
yes I love this
as a byakuya kinnie, I really enjoyed this video and really appreciate it.
it’s kinda sad how so many people hate byakuya, yeah, It’s understandable but it still makes me a little sad.
everyone has opinions and stuff, but it upsets me sometimes when people hate a character but don’t even look into the character more.
( I don’t like sayaka that much, but I still looked into her character and stuff, because I will admit she is a bit interesting )
this comment was a bit random but I just wanted to talk about that, great video :)
If I had to guess, Togami's intention in framing Fukawa was in order to expose Syo given if anyone in that situation was going to be killed by her and she was far less likely to kill him if her history was publicly known, he likely expected that it would have gotten Fukawa to leave him alone.
Yeah like she was stalking him. She even legit made delusions of them being together and tried to convince the class of them... Togami was dealing with a stalker who was delusional and also a serial killer - and he needed to out her so she couldn't potentially kill someone and get away with it.
I love this video! Byakuya is my favorite character EVER
I really love togami, he is a top tier character for me
I'VE ALWAYS LOVE ME SO MUCH. I LOVE HIM SO MUUUUCH. HE IS MY MOST LOVE CHARACTER. HE IS MY TOP ONE HUSBANDO💖✨
i feel like byakuya purposely tampered with the crime scene in chapter 2 is because he wanted to expose toko so that everyone would know shes a serial killer and since toko and syo dont share memories she wouldnt even know if syo killed or not
YES YES YES YES YES!!! omg i was waiting for this video ever since you brought it up in the chill server and i love it!! all of the reasons you listed are the same reasons why i love byakuya so much. you made some great points about his character and i agree with the whole chapter two thing. it felt really out of character for him to do what he did, and im so glad someone else agrees with me on that!!! this was a really great video!!

O the editing for this one is so fun momther lots of circles and 0 triangles instant superiority
YE THE EDITING IS SO COOL ON THIS ONE

So as for who was kidnapped in the same since as Komaru, it was Togami’s Butler. We see this from the cards/posters you can collect where it is the Butler who was preserved for the first motive and his family was not.
Is his family alive? Idk you tell me 🤷♀️
I would like to personally argue that togami is less a antagonist and more a support character ( yes this is a bais opinion he is my favorite)
I think he's like an anti-hero type character actually
Much like Nagito he plays both roles

Why you did taht Kokichi?
Insert 900IQ monologue
Why you did that Nagito?
Hopehopehopehopehope
Why you did that byakuya?
I was bored
I completely agree with you! He's my favorite character and I love him so much
He's so amazing 🥺
Don’t ya just love him
@@Hazyla Who wouldn't?

@@katagei130 Weird people /j
byakuya my beloved
It's also worth noting that Togami was mostly right in DR1. Sayaka tried to kill Leon and frame Makoto. Leon killed Sayaka. Mondo killed Chirio and then tried to get away with it (even if it meant Ishimaru's death). Hifumi killed Ishimaru, who was then double betrayed by Celeste. Not to mention Hagukura & Fukawa believed the each killed Sakura and tried to hide it. A lot of the characters were willing to kill for selfish reasons. Most of the so called "bonds of friendship" held water like a broken sieve.
Compare that to Aoi willing to take everyone to the grave with her, in order to honour Sakura (as she thought) and still have a ratio of like 6:1. I appreciate that he didn't change into a paragon nice guy like say Fuyuhiko after chapter 2. It was much more in character, for Togami to still maintain a lot of cynicism towards relationships and his main motivation being killing the mastermind is what carried him through the rest of the game.
Also, chapter 5. Who was he suspicious of? Kirigiri. Who ends up trying to get an innocent classmate killed in chapter 5? Kirigiri. (And in the anime, instead of Byakuya being the one to directly accuse Makoto, it's Kyoko accusing him. Byakuya even says "I knew Naegi wasn't guilty" in the anime when Makoto's execution fails)
Bro- THANK YOU- I love Byakuya so much, but all my friends hate him for being mean to everyone in thh- Like, there’s so much more to him than his superiority complex and his money! He has his own problems and such, but noooo. Tall rich boi mean, I don’t like him! Byakuya’s the best, and they just need to understand that just cause someone’s mean doesn’t mean that they can’t change. Like- BYAKUYA GOT *THE BEST* CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, WHAT DO YA’LL MEAN HE’S JUST A RICH JERK??
i thought this was 6 years ago-
LEGIT thought this video was 6 years old

It’s probably my editing, I was trying out new things and might have got carried away with transitions 😅
You couldn’t have explained it better 😪🤚
Great video!
I hated Byakuya at first but the more he showed up throughout the series the more he grew on me. Starting from the last trial for the first game, he started to become more likable because his pride turned into a form of hope for him and he grows to care about more people.
best boy.
aah thank you for this video!! i love this guy so much
Junko kidnapped someone that worked for Togami but not any of his family junko kidnapped his butler since he was the only one who acknowledged byakuya and believed in him he believed byakuya could take over the togami's buis
Byakuya is a character i liked throughout his character arc. I think disrespecting the dead is a small price to pay for revealing a very much living threat to the class. A littke fucked, but i can understand his reasoning for his actions in trial two (which is funny because Kokichi did something similar, he stole evidence and used it as blackmail to reveal an assasin - which is honestly within Byakuya's character to do that if he could even.)
I akso find it kind of sweet how he grew kind of close to Makoto through investigating with him, and even became a bit nicer after the 4th trial. {Also in the Anime version of DR1, when Makoto's executuon fails he says something alomh the lines of "i knew Naegi wasn't guilty" and that shattered my heart 😢 HE HAD FAITH IN MAKOTO}
I think he might actually had god complex in thh
Now make one about Tenko/j
But fr, amazing video and I have to say. This video genuinely brought Byakuya up to my top 10 characters
Makoto: What's your talent?
Togami: money naiegi money
To accurate I cant
stan byakuya for clear skin
I’m currently in a killing game, and up until I found your video I was hating on one specific character that acted just like Togami. And not even a minute into your video did the admin reveal that their character had trust issues like Togami. You have a magic touch, and I’m giving you a follow.
I think you're off the mark with chapter 2. It's clear to me Byakuya thought the case was too simple and wanted to weed out the people he had to watch out for when he wanted to finally kill. And it worked, Makoto and Kyoko made it clear they're the smartest of the group
okay but this video is sooo god damn valid
Byakuya is amazing no matter what anyone says
As a togami stan, I must say that I love to live in denial and act like chapter two never happened.
Idk if this was what you were wondering but in UDG there’s this butler dude and his name’s Aloysius Pennywoth according to the internet and he’s Byakubitch’s butler
Thank you this was exactly what I was wondering. I did read his butler was the only one he really had a connection with but I didn’t remember seeing him
damn byakyubitch must've really liked that butler
@@LaiLaiVibes the woh called him gross 😔
aw frimk you commented this before me lol
Aloysius shows up in the novel called Danganronpa Togami
this video made me like byakuya, which is something ive wanted to do but couldnt bc of thh ch2. thank u for this!!!!!!
most underrated antagonist
Tbh I have never understood why Shinobu Togami isnt the captive member in UDG in Danganronpa: Togami she is the other main character is Byakuya and just from the fact that Sonia Nebamiando is the main villain we can deduce that the story takes place near the same time as Ultra Despair Girls and Ultra Despair Hagakure, and oddly enough Shinobu is one of 4 characters whose statuses are listed as unknown the other 3 being Haiji Towa, then Takumi Hijirihira and Misaki Asano (the latter 2 being the protagonists from gaiden:killer killer) I personally choose to belive that she is alive and also she is a cyborg so she has that
im sorry Sonia w h a t
spoilers for the Danganronpa Togami trilogy: I do agree, however at the end of the book series, it is revealed that his memories of her were stolen in the same way his school memories were. He was given an offer, aid the Remnants and essentially become the king of the world but Shinobu will die, or he will lose many memories relating to his talent and he will be a victim to the despair and forget his sister exists but she will be able to live; he chose the latter then his memory of even choosing to save her was taken from him too, her living on was the most important thing to him.
Those memories of her *could* be recovered, considering the Future Foundation was able to give the THH survivors their memories back, however at the time of the killing game, Byakuya unfortunately thought he was entirely alone minus Pennyworth. Shinobu is implied to still be alive by the end of the novel trilogy, and she could have survived the trilogy, so one could hope that they could eventually be reunited. I apologise for rambling.
I think Byakuya Togami and Seto Kaiba would get along swimmingly
Byakuya: Your not very poggers.
Literally the most painful insult I have ever been told, plus he is my favorite character-
*"Your not very poggers"*
It’s very rude
We STAN HIM
This video is pog
Please do more videos like this on other dangonronpa characters cos this was really interesting
He literally explained at the end of chapter 2 that he did it to sus out which people are actually competent and how much he needs to watch out and keep tabs on them.
Strategically, this is actually not a bad plan. Change my mind, I guess? :D…
WOOP DE WOOP BYAKUBITCH WOWOWOWOWOWOW
I am best boi
I'm glad someone said it. He's my favourite character for a reason.
I agree.
Byakuya has always been my Favourite danganronpa character! :)
I understand why people like him and togami's charecter was amazing to see develop although I'm not a huge fan of him. Chapter 2 really ruined him for me since I feel like it could of been handled differently but with the same outcome.
Thanks for the video it really helped see him through a different person's eyes.
Oh, so it wasn't my imagination?! I thought he was different, but I don't think anyone would've believed me! Love this, thank you so much!
I admit, I do love the change here and I've been having a laugh watching a friend of mine playing through the first game and HATING Byakuya with every fiber of her being.
Of course I'm keeping stuff a secret, especially as she's not only just arrived at Sakura's trial where things get VERY interesting.
I stumbled across this cause I was looking for a voice clip from Goodbye Despair which is hilarious, ‘ShOuLd I bEgIn WiTh A bRiEf InTrOdUcTiOn Of MySeLf?’ but now you’ve given a brighter light to an already pretty great character. Here, have a subscriber!😁
i love him so much
It’s nice to see another person who’s fav is byakuya, there really isn’t many of us lol
At 1st when I started the game I disliked Togami but soon as a grew more into the fandom and learn about his pass I couldn't help feel sad about him. And now since he grew on me he became one of my favorite characters 🥲
In UDG one of the Hit lists shows Byakuyas Butler. He’s the one in the motive videos in the first game
junko kidnaped his butler
I just have to say that at the end you made it sound like byakuya started to grow feelings for makoto, I was laughing so hard oml
oh so that's what it was
i was wondering why togami was getting more likeable
man, the only reason I liked this guy 4-5 years ago was because he was hot 💀
My friend asked why I liked Togami. I showed them this and they said it was interesting and I agree!
I would give that to Toko but sure, good points
He also has a side story which is canon where theres despair sonia and souda somewhere in latin america
About Case 2 at least, for all its Funimation-level faults, the anime adaptation stated it was a test for the other students.
Junko kidnapped Byakuya’s butler I think?
Im pretty sure junko kidnapped togami's butler who he was closest to
*smiles softly* Yes, that's me!
I like Fuyuhiko’s more, but Togami’s feels more... earned? Idk how to say it
DID I JUST SAW HIM SMILING GOSHH
i dunno togami is suuuuuuper hot and i sorta really *love* his personality and im just in love with him
WOAH, THERE-
I'm not surprised he's not liked but I'm still disappointed. he's definitely a very subtle character in a way that he's written and everything is easily overlooked if you're not a lore digger or if you just don't care. Despite how bad his actions are he still is one of the most "human" characters in the series. ESPECIALLY compared to other antagonists, so many characters are very cartoon-ey but the way byakuya is written immediately puts you in a defensive position, and I love that about him
The remnants captured his butler, you can find the demon kill card in UDG.
666 likes. Nice.
Also, Byakuya is finally getting explained well instead of just main story dialouge
I think Byakuya wanted to save his skin on the very beginning. he's not the only character who can point fingers of who's suspicious or not. Remember Toko? I can see why Toko think they click. They both have trust issues and wanted to save their skins. But, they start to change because of Makoto Naegi. For Toko, it wasn't enough so she had to see Komaru to find her first friend. She only considers Makoto Naegi as this guy who saved everyone.
He wants to be the main character soo bad😭😭😭😭
Junko made his double or brother into an ultimate despair
