Danganronpa V3 Au - Blog Posts

Introducing my super cringe DRV3 AU I made back in either 2020 or 2021, I recently revamped it a lil so have these dumb lil Twitter post redraws... Drawovers??

A bit more of Resurgence V3! I've been dabbling a few ideas, but this is one I decided on a while ago - those monokuma helmets have been improved. Again.

And somehow, one ends up on you-know-who's head - and Shuichi's the first one to find him after this incident.

That's a bit late, plot wise, though

hello!!! i just stumbled across your resurgence au (i think that's the name lol) and it looks super cool!!!! :OOO may i ask what is maki's whole deal,,,i love her a lot :3

It's Maki time!

So in Resurgence, like the rest of the V3 cast, Maki is saved from the simulation by Future Foundation. I've touched on this in a few older posts, but their recovery took place in a hastily thrown together field base/hospital in a city that's still pretty deep in despair. It was a matter of not being able to get transport in for everyone right away - they had a set date for the helicopters to come for them all.

By unfortunate coincidence (coincidence, huh) - the day the helicopters come, the hospital is bombed by a Despair mob. They weren't so happy with their show being cancelled by stupid teenagers (THH was streamed to the world, then despair audiences kinda gutted and reverse engineered the Neo World Program after the Remnants were restored to their og personalities, I'd say it's probably because of the brainwashed Future Foundation members that it got out to the world - so yeah "Danganronpa" is a "TV" show in that regard, but its not how the V3 ending explains it)

Maki was in a separate wing from most of the others when the bombs went off, and her escape route ended up on the side where the mob was gathered (a lot of the others got around the mob by going out other exits) - So Maki has to fight her way to safety, and unfortunately, she misses out on the helicopter evacuation.

Now, Maki can take care of herself. She might not be Ultimate Apocalypse Survivor, but she has the training to patch wounds, adapt to harsh conditions, and defend herself. So she's doing about as fine as one can in a city that's basically an active war zone.

Then Kaede shows up.

Honestly, I'm not sure why I chose Kaede, I really wanna explore that dynamic but haven't gotten around to it yet - I think their personalities would blend and butt against each other in a situation like this, it's like a hardcore setting for the killing game with no rules. Kaede was with Future Foundation as a field agent, but her squad got separated during an attack (they were probably looking for the missing V3 cast) - Funnily enough Kaito, Tenko, and Shuichi were on that squad so - yikes on missing them.

So now it's Maki and Kaede vs the world!

Until Kaede's radio starts unscrambling itself and picking up Future Foundation communications again - but they can't reply it seems. The signal seems to fade in and out each time they leave this district, maybe they should investigate, right?

... Oh hi Kokichi and Kiibo!

That's about as far as I've gotten in the general aspect of Maki's arc! I could go into detail about points up until now, but this post is already getting long on me. There will be bonding, there will be old scores to settle, there will be... forgiveness? Well, it's too early to say. I think the four of them are an interesting squad to shove into the apocalypse together, especially knowing the later game dynamics of Kokichi, Kiibo, and Maki, and me basically having to figure out Kaede and if the blank slate of her not being around for most of V3 is something that helps them all get along or complete ruins the dynamic at moments.

"You did so well, you get the reward of being shelfed. That's right, you got Toy Story 2'd, Kiiboy!"

time out for the robot head - what did he do, ya'll will just have to guess

funny moment

its ok kiibo, it'll wear off in 2-5 business days

hellouu sorry to bother just wanted to say thank you for sharing your unnamed pg kokichi with kiibo head au..... i'm going to think about it forever i'll pay you millions and billions to post more about it. i really enjoy how sick of this shit kokichi looks.

do you have anything else to share about it? i'd love to hear if you do but no pressure.. i was also wondering if you think they'd encounter their classmates at any point and what they'd be up to? i think it would be really interesting. i can't help thinking about kokichi placing kiibo somewhere safe temporarily to go do something important, and a classmate who doesn't know kiibo is just head now somehow stumbling upon him and their soul leaving their body for a second while kiibo is just. :>. like it's the most normal thing in the world. that is not that funny but i am entertained. so so sorry for the long stupid annoying ask. your post triggered an explosion in my head i think.? thank you

Kaito thought it was a ghost and proceeded to neglect to tell the others about it for two weeks.

But yes! Please, keep asking, I will have a lot more posts in the future as I flesh it out some more.

It's been many a babble I've been thinking about, so there's not a lot I have written down or really set in stone, but I can say this:

A lot of the others escaped the hospital attack with the Future Foundation. They work with them now. But not all of them!

The attack happened kinda early into recovery - and on top of that, the extraction from the program was not easy, so our human classmates are not... exactly free from health issues. This is called foreshadowing :D

The plan is for them all to get reunited, yes, but we'll just have to see how it goes.

Kokichi is done with it all. He could not give less of a shit. But, he supposes he could get Kiibo back to the others before dipping out.

on top of all that, no one has finished therapy - including me.

But yeah, I just found the idea really funny. A lot of postcanon aus take place separated from the Tragedy, and I love the setting of Ultra Despair Girls, so I figured I'd shove my favorite cast into it. This is my brainworm.

Now hopefully that allows me to GIVE IT A NAME.

A postcanon AU I wanna dabble with, where v3 was another simulation that took place during the Tragedy. Kiibo's data was saved via a replica of his head being in the outside world - but they definitely didn't have enough material to make a whole body for him. V3 was a technical "TV" show but for Despair maddened crowds.

So everyone woke up, found by Future Foundation, but were stuck in one of the Despair ridden cities due to transport not being able to get to them. Basically, V3 are in their typical postcanon recovery, but in a field hospital of sorts.

That is, until the mobs found them and blew it up. In the midst of the chaos, Kokichi stumbled upon where they were keeping Kiibo's head, and grabbed him as fire and crumbling walls surrounded them. Now separated from the rest of their class, these two are wandering the apocalypse. Fun times, am I right?

i rlly should name this AU

eh, we'll figure it out later
