    Finally another analysis video! Sorry for the delay on these recently. If any of you guys are curious, Monika from DDLC, was the character I started a video for but ended up scrapping after a bit. Just wasn’t sure I could bring anything new about the character that hasn’t already been said. I do eventually want to try doing a character outside of DR, but for the next few ones I think I’ll stay DR focused. Let me know who you’d like a video of next!
    Also just a disclaimer, I don’t personally see anything wrong with creating tulpas as long as it helps the person that made it. Tbh it’s a pretty interesting concept. Just because Korekiyo’s tulpa was an unhealthy influence on him, doesn’t necessarily mean I think all of them are bad. Wanted to mention that in the video, but there was no good place I felt to bring it up without disrupting the flow of the analysis. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy!

    They really did him dirty. They could have had a character arc of him coming to terms with the fact that he was abused, that his sister took advantage of him. Theres no way what they did was consensual, he would have had to have been very young.

    so many people hate him and think he’s disgusting but personally, i feel bad for him. he’s such an interesting and charming character, and honestly the incest relationship he had with his sister didn’t so much sound as just a weird relationship as it did an abusive/manipulative one that really messed him up. i wish he would’ve been a survivor somehow and ended up traveling with shuichi like he talked about in the free time events, even though the world kinda went to shit pfft.

      I agree. I hate incest, but I can't help but think korekiyo has stockholm syndrome. "Stockholm syndrome is a psychological condition that occurs when a victim of abuse identifies and attaches, or bonds, positively with their abuser. This syndrome was originally observed when hostages who were kidnapped not only bonded with their kidnappers, but also fell in love with them." As said by Google. His obsession with his sister and that she was very manipulative, it matches with why he loves her so much. I'd like to see where he realizes what his sister did to him was wrong, but I like him even when he wanna commits Alabama with her. It actually makes people feel bad for him despite his love for her

      I'm not that big on him, but it's not because of the incest, or anything to do with Chapter 3, really. He just never really "clicked" for me, which is weird, because he seems like, in theory, a character I would like a lot. Cool design, tragic backstory, interesting talent, etc. But no, I just never really warmed up to him. Looking back, it probably has to do with how I experienced the game; I watched it through Lucahjin's LP, and her simping for him got old in a hurry.

      Tbh, it would've been great if tenko actually killed Angie, and then korekiyo killed her, but then after the class trial monokuma, instead of taking back the book, uses it to bring back Tenko, (who gets executed) which leaves Korekiyo speechless and heartbroken as he realizes that he could've brought back his sister instead of bringing people to her. That would've been a very interesting character arc! And if he did survive I felt like he would have a breakdown, but then come to terms with it, seeing as how he didn't murder anybody (other than Tenko).

  • @TemporalShrew
    @TemporalShrew 6 років тому +1485

    On the note of what you were saying about his uniform not "suiting" him, and her controlling nature... I think those go hand-in-hand. Notice that his uniform looks much like a soldier's would under a totalitarian regime - and she designed it personally to look that way, because she thought that *that* would suit him. I'm pretty sure that that implies she had complete and utter authoritarian control over him and his actions, and knew it.

    Honestly, part of me always felt Korekiyo repeatedly saying “apologize” was him more or less imitating his sister? Like, consider how controlling and manipulative she was, it seems likely that if he ever did something wrong in her eyes, she’d yell at him to apologize until he eventually did. I’d definitely go into more detail regarding all my ideas regarding Korekiyo’s backstory BUT I don’t want to clog things up more than I already did. Thank you for making this video though! He’s like my all time danganronpa fav, so I appreciate this a lot!

      Similarities: Long and dark choppy hair, committed double murder, freaked out during the class trial and was repeating the same word over and over, had a passion related to their tragic past and family influence
      Differences: Kiyo kept saying "Apologize" but Mikan kept saying "Forgive me", Mikan was shy and timid but I don't think threatening to tear out someone's nerves just because they touched some artifact would be considered shy and timid, Mikan nursed people to health but Kiyo killed them.

    I feel that kiyo' s relationship with his sister was heavily abusive. She knew she didn't have much time left and tried to use him to keep on living. He mistook their relationship as loving, as he had never experienced anything else. I bet he feels that he must continue to appease her, even after her death in order to keep her happy, as a personal safety precaution. He could never quite free himself from her, and never realized he wanted to.

      i know it’s two years late but i agree with that. i gathered that from his free time events when he talks about his sister and the third trial in general. he had no chance to think about if the relationship was okay. anyways, the tulpa that he created was probably based on his sister, and she seemed controlling and passive aggressive. kiyo followed all of her demands in the trial with no hesitation, and it only made me feel even more bad. and when he’s arguing about whether he killed angie or not, she basically just tells him to give up and admit it. and he hesitates one time, but continues to follow her directions.

    many people are put off because of the incest thing but to me it wasn't really surprising and I think it fits his folklore theme
    in Japanese folklore you can find a lot of incest and a lot of...weird sexual stuff, so giving him that didn't seem odd to me at all

      The way he’s described, pregame wise, in one of the official character descriptor thingies, he’s described as “the type of person who seems popular.” And honestly, seeing as tsumugi probably wrote at least the base character and plot of DRV3, it’s likely he got into dangan to get away from his sister, or his sister’s influence. Seeing as tsumugi’s love hotel was about Incest, she might have projected that onto him. He might’ve worn the mask to make himself distinctive. From his sister, I mean, considering how they look alike. It’s also possible he had a minor version of the illness sister shinguuji had, seeing as it’s very possible to be hereditary.

      I thought the same thing! Except I would have had Angie's death be a suicide. They'd all say that since there was no blackened for Angie, that Kiyo should be killed for Tenko's murder. However, Monokuma considers suicide murder, since you're taking the most important life- your own. So two of their friends would be dead, one of their classmates a murderer, and nobody gets punished for any of it. It would have made the dynamics so much more interesting

    Ok, so I legit read a story similar to this on Reddit. The person who told the story used to work in a psych ward and had a patient who dressed up as his sister and lived his life through her after witnessing her being brutally murdered. He wore these pictures of little girls around his neck, which were his sister's "friends". Not the same circumstances, but thinking back on it, I was all "whoa, this is like Korekiyo's story". Anyway, your theory on why Korekiyo's sister did what she did seems plausible, though I would also add there had to have been some family history of severe mental illness and/or abuse for these things to happen. I'm pretty sure Korekiyo was abused by his sister in more than one way, and it's even stated on the wiki.
    I REALLY appreciate this analysis. I hate how Kodaka decided to kill him off like that, and now people just dismiss him as some creepy sisterfucker who kills girls. Yes, he is indeed that, but he's not the only creepy murderous fiend in the series. I find him to be a very intriguing, well-written, unique character. They could have done so much better with him. :(

      Seesaw became a meme, because Kiyo had almost perfect murder after Angie death (Only reason to suspect him was katana from his lab. Rest of the evidence could point to many people, and the main suspects in this case still probably would be Tenko, who had a grudge against Angie, and Himiko, who was guarding Angie's lab) By killing Tenko with his trick, he literally made his crime solvable, because now it wa possible to connect blood under the floorboard to him.
      Also, the fact that Kiyo's only reason for killing Tenko was "because I wanted to use seesaw" definetly had some influence on creation of this meme.

    1) The Wiki is wrong. She's not a tulpa; she's an alter. A tulpa is something you choose to create, an "imaginary friend," so to speak, while an alter is the result of a break with reality, usually in response to trauma. Kiyo's backstory is that he was bound and whipped nearly to death in a village he visited, and that NDE resulted in a psychotic break. (Obviously, he doesn't call it that - he calls it someone "taken from me by death" being returned to him.)
    2) Considering that the Sister we see when Kiyo's alter comes out is colored by his obsessive adoration of her (as mother figure/best friend/love of his life) and she *still* comes across as a cold, manipulative bitch even in Kiyovision, I can't quite imagine what a high-stepping, dyed-in-the-wool c-word she must have been (or was supposed to have been) in "real life." The mind, it boggles.

    • @AzariahMarinaStarcaster
      @AzariahMarinaStarcaster 2 роки тому +15

      The way the two interact with each other would suggest she's a tulpa, though. Alters often times don't share memories with one another, but a tulpa does typically have all of the memories and knowledge their host does, and the lack of confusion Sister has when speaking to Korekiyo about what's happening around them implies that she has access to his memories.

    If I may put in my two cents into the whole incest thing... I remember Kiyo's Love Hotel scene showed him not wanting a romantic relationship with anyone other than his sister, but is perfectly okay with sleeping around with other people he feels comfortable with. This might say something about exactly how sexual the relationship with his sister was. Also, I felt that Kiyo might have been projecting the loneliness he was feeling after his sister's death onto his tulpa, among other small things. Could explain why the ghost girl in his execution wanted revenge.
    Anyway, if you are still taking requests, I would like to see an analysis of Rantaro Amami please.

    • @Sry342

      Yeah, the Love Hotel scene is pretty interesting to analyse his personal feelings and desires! He says he won't be able to love Saihara, but he's fine with having sex with him. It makes sense, as his mind is obsessed with his dead sister more than anything else, but he doesn't seem to fantasise about her sexually, as the hotel scenes are representations of a character's "ideal". I thought it's important that she's not present there in any way. Other characters are clearly dreaming of someone who is not Saihara, so I feel like I can say he does consider her his true love, but his physical attraction is reserved for other people. In other moments, Korekiyo clearly makes a difference between love and lust, so...

I have never known about such a thing, and made me understand how the hell his sister is like, inside of his body. His free time events were my favorites, which led me to like him, since I always had an interest in anthropology.

    Interesting amount of depth for characters which they don't amount to anything, in game. It's cool and neat when you realise that a character has extra depth to them but alot of the time it doesn't change what you know or how you would treat them. You can create a character with a specialised references in their: name, birthday, hair style, poses, language, dialect, music taste, backstory and whether they squeeze toothpaste from the middle or the end, and it will still be all for nought if you have it on wasted chapters - mainly something like chapters 3 and 4.

    When you see all the characters for the first time in the gym, the image showing everyone in the past 2 games their reactions and body position reflect how they usually act, so compare it to v3's before the ultimate wardrobe their reactions and body positions could represent their true selves before they became the ultimate students, like kirumi could be a introvert and shy, possibly clumsy causing her to want to be a maid who is skilled at many things in the first place, and gonta not actually a gentleman and possibly wanted to be a entomologist to be smart, implying he's not good at school and the reason his character speaks in third person and doesn't speak at all before the wardrobe could mean he doesn't speak out much, possibly cause he sounds dumb and didn't want that to show it.
    I think those who win the killing game get to keep their knowledge of their ultimate title when they go back to the real world, why they chose titles like a astronaut (fame), a entomologist (knowledge), and being a maid (skills) is so when they win they'll keep that title, which explains why kaito said that he'll have fame and fortune when he wins, which supports that idea, also when they said in the 6th trial that they can't go back to who they originally we're also supports that, showing that they keep their memories about their title when they go back to the real world

      So to me it seems like the V3 kids got the talents they did because they already had some degree of interest in those talents in the first place.

    As a Danganronpa fan and Tulpa Enthusiast, I am really glad you gave more exposure to Tulpas by even just mentioning the name. It's amazing to see how deep you went into analyzing the character and how you managed to find a semi-niche internet practice that does deserve more scientific attention. From my experience, Tulpas do exhibit sentient behaviors so I am inclined to believe that is so, but of course, more research needs to be done.
    Tulpa creators make tulpas voluntarily, not something akin to DID. Loneliness is the main reason why someone would make one, but again it's a choice any person experiencing that or not can make. The closest thing I can compare to something that actually happens in Tulpa creation is the switches from the Sister personality to Koreyiko. "Switching" is what the community calls it. While it is rare that a Tulpa can control the body without the host's permission, something of that nature in the trial scenes I haven't seen or heard of.
    I personally think Koreyiko has DID instead, though from his story he doesn't seem to have any trauma which makes it less likely from a medical standpoint. Though, I don't think the creators knew what tulpas were in the creation, and done something similar to Toko's DID situation.
    Again, thank you for being so rational and kind towards the phenomenon, it really does need more research done. It's very nice to see someone, not bashing or shedding doubt on something that could actually benefit neurology, psychology, and mental health. You're an amazing youtube, thank you!

This NDE resulted in a psychotic break and the personality split (which Kiyo, being Kiyo, called being reunited with "someone taken from me by death.")

    • @brahms7454
      @brahms7454 4 роки тому +5

      Agreed! Just as Wobby 1 said, there definitely was some trauma that very much could have led to the personality split. I personally believe the trauma occurred when he was in the relationship with his sister, because his sister definitely seemed abusive to me. My theory is basically what Weeby News said, which definitely implies abuse. She used him, took advantage of him, because he was pretty vulnerable. I feel like the emergence of the alter took place once he had that near death experience, but the split happened much earlier.
      It just seems more plausible to me that this is DID because of the traumas he experienced. I also saw an interview where someone with DID believed they were possessed at first until they discovered the term. Kiyo believes he's possessed, as well. There's just so much that makes me thinks it's more DID rather than an actual tulpa. Nice to hear some input from a researcher though!

    First off, amazing job as always. Second, as a human development major, I believe that after that civilization he ran into tortured him (as he mentions they tied him up and kept him there for three months) he developed a need for comfort, and that's where his sisters 'ghost', came in. In a sense, it was a manifestation to keep himself going and sane.

    Great analysis~
    Even though the Sister personality was pretty pushy, i didn't give her that much thought during the game but now looking back on it, that definitely makes sense. Especially because he was pretty much trying to replicate his Sister's attitude in the trial, we can assume she was like that when she was still alive.
    I don't think their relationship was sexual though. I feel like Korekiyo was obsessed with her maybe to the point of convincing himself they were in a relationship. The scene where he talked about her in the trial gave me the impression that this 'closeness' wasn't meant to be physical. And i could see her sister using this obsession to manipulate him just like Weeby said in the video.
    I really liked the focus on the Sister's influence in the analysis as well as the comparison between Korekiyo, Angie and Tenko in terms of dealing with grief. Keep it up!

He's my favorite character and I feel like people forget he's extremely mentally unstable, which explains a lot of the shit he does and believes. In general, no matter if you see Sister as someone who abused him or not, I think we should all agree he's not reliable enough to use his statements as absolute truth 😂 this is also the main theme of V3, what is truth and what is a lie? How do lies affect our perception of facts?

    I've seen a lot of people be very skeptical of the "Korekiyo's Sister is abusive" theory. However, I definitely agree with what is said in this video. It's obvious that she pushed the Anthropology talent onto Kiyo, and was extremely controlling, especially her forcing him to apologize. His heavy dependence on her doesn't speak of a healthy relationship. I definitely agree with the theory that his sister was using him to experience things that she couldn't from her sickbed.

Not the deepest character out there, and he was basically killed as a plot device for Himiko's developpement, but I love what he brings to chapter 3 with the themes of death and the afterlife. That's a great analysis that encapsulates much of what I love about him!

    I really love reading Danganronpa V3 pre-game theories~
    Even though i feel like Tsumugi probably didn't lie about writing their backstories. I think so because it would make sense why some backstories are so bizarre. Like Rantarou losing his 12 sisters, Kirumi being the Prime minister and Gonta living with lizard people or smth xD
    But then again there are inconsistencies in what she told them - she said they chose to be there yet before the flashback lights they remembered being kidnapped.
    Also the part where Saihara's name was bleeped out even though before the flashback lights he said his name was Saihara was pretty odd.
    This might be Kodaka's way to make the ending truly ambiguous or maybe i'm missing smth.
    So even though there are problems with both theories, i think it's still valid to make theories about the pre-game characters even though there isn't all that much to work with 😅
    It would be pretty cool to see what Weeby would come up with too~

    • @heathervalenzano9129
      @heathervalenzano9129 6 років тому +9

      I think it's possible that Shuichi was a fan of Team Danganronpa's Killing Game TV show. At the very end of Salmon Mode, after Monokuma tells all the students that they're free to go, Shuichi starts talking about returning to his boring life and the boring outside world (I don't remember EXACTLY what he said, but he kept using the word "boring"). We already know that the people who like Team Danganronpa's Killing Game TV show like it because they think their lives are dull and boring; so, I don't think it's that farfetched to conclude that Shuichi was one of those people.
      As Weeby Newz mentioned in a previous video (unless I'm mistaken), we can't really create a theory with no holes because a lot of the information provided throughout V3 doesn't go together.

    • @Niaoni
      @Niaoni 6 років тому +3

      Heather Valenzano i thought that too, i've read some theories that are based on this idea and i think it's pretty interesting to look at the other characters in the same light as well. I'd like to see what could have lead all those different people to want to participate in the killing game. Since we have only kind of seen Shuichi's perspective.
      Yeah, i agree, i'm just leaning towards it being more truth than lies just because of the weird backstories they gave some of them.
      I just mentioned those inconsistencies to make the point that it's still valid to make theories about the pre-game characters. Because i've seen people trying to dismiss those theories entirely because they thought that Tsumugi was lying all along.

Third: the salt that was thrown on his ghost could reference the salt he used to build the magic circle.

Basically, in life, coercing him to fall in love with her and pushing him to do her bidding, just to give him one last roundhouse kick to the face with finally revealing her true intentions to him, not giving him a break even iN THE AFTERLIFE. His last moments with any last dribbles of consciousness were realizing his life and the lives he sacrificed was all because of a f a r c e and all for n o t h i n g. Which I think is QUITE the nail put into his fucked up of a life's coffin.
