I decided to do another one of these low-effort proposal remake after getting permission from Emeraldblade95 after my previous one. Honestly. there is so many low-effort proposals on the wiki that I am just looking through which one is high quality, removing concerns on factors or detailing the standard for those that aren't convinced enough of that character qualification. Especially those that only said they count because they are nice and not focusing enough or even at their deeds.
I guess I will be doing this now while looking at other in the past and as said making these remakes better fit right now. Anyways, I am getting ahead of myself so I will go to the point right now but this will be the first of the series to suffer from that incident I told so I'll be doing the first of the list.
What's The Work?
Danganronpa is a visual novel franchise created by Spike Chunsoft and the creator Kazutaka Kodaka. It is a murder mystery game that centers around Makoto Naegi who attended Hope's Peek Academy and instead this is a killing game hosted by a bear named Monokuma. Now trapped in a school with 16 students, he has to survive being murdered and put an end to the killing game.
Who is He? What has He done?
Makoto Naegi is the protagonist of the franchise. He was once a student at the school with his classmates but thanks to Junko causing the disaster, the principle made the school a shelter so the students can survive the disaster of having many people killed. Only Class 78 and 77-B are the surviving students in the class. 77-B got brainwashed sadly by Junko as members of Ultimate Despair. Anyways, he and all his classmates lived in the academy away from the apocalypse.
Right now it wasn't until the killing game started when all his memories from his previous life at the school are taken away by Junko when he entered the school. The same happening to all his classmates forgetting all about each other and now all of them realized they have to kill each other to escape the school including a class trial where they would find the killer or all of them but the killer would escape.
Makoto bonded with his childhood classmate Sayaka when they met until Monokuma revealed the first motive leading to Sayaka at night attempting to frame Makoto by killing Leon just to escape the place once seeing her motive video. Makoto agreed to switched room and waking up next morning founds out Sayaka is dead leading to a class trial to begin. With help of Kyoko, Makoto finds that Leon is the culprit leading to his execution. Makoto despite this chooses to remember both Sayaka and Leon despite their attempts and betrayal.
Now for the story Makoto with help of Kyoko and some others would figure out the culprits each motives from Mondo and Celeste for killing their classmates right now and then solved Sakura's suicide in these class trials. It was not until the fifth trial where Junko attempts to have Kyoko likely killed from this trick trial by using Mukuro's body for it. Makoto having a bad temperature on him while bed get's attacked by Junko but Kyoko stops her leading to her escape.
Right now the fifth class trial begins and Makoto choosing to not pin Kyoko for the murder believing her innocence despite the fact he would be blamed for the murder. This lead to Makoto calling out the trial btu before then Monokuma stops the trial leading to him getting voted as the blackened by his friends. He was about to be executed but Alter Ego who was destroyed by Monokuma and a way to find the truth of the school or stop killing game stops it and saves Makoto falling in a dumpster.
Right now he is saved by Kyoko after being stuck for days and returned to the school where Kyoko wanted Monokuma or the mastermind for one last trial intending to end the killing game. Right now Makoto manages to figure out the truth of the murder exposing Junko as the true mastermind and culprit of the murder of her sister but also have her reveal herself to the remaining surviving students. Now with Junko revealing everything, all the survivors all end up in despair with the truth revealed either all stay in the school or escape outside where the world is hell. Makoto managing to get everyone's spirits up with hope, votes Junko as the blackened instead of him leading to Junko killing herself to taste despair. Now everyone in the killing game escapes the place and now picked up by the future foundation.
He get's contacted by his sister Komaru who is in Towa City with Toka and right now he explains the situation to her and what's been happening. He is informed by Byakuya the she and Toko chooses to stay in the city to protect other survivors
Makoto in the future foundation would then save Class 77-B preventing them being killed as he put's them in a simulation called the Neo World Program as a way to free their brainwash influence. Sadly the virus from Izuru ended up starting the killing game where almost all would end up going in an endless sleep if they died. Makoto finally manages to get in the simulation and with Byakuya and Kyoko stepping in they explained what happened intending to save the remaining students from AI Junko. Hajime and Chiaki destroyed Junko before everyone leaves the program even though Hajime and his friends would likely not remember anything from their past such as their school life.
Makoto and everyone in the future foundation now get's trapped in the building where Monokuma ends up putting them in the killing game wearing these weird bracelets where if they do a specific thing, they will be poisoned. Every time they knocked out an unknown killer murders one of the members and it lead to a big conflict from everyone fighting and most members dying from them including Kyoko who choose not to reveal the bracelet condition end's up dying for protecting Makoto. Now he confronted Munakata and from the dual Makoto manages to win once figuring out his condition on bracelet. After many words and now he convinced Munakata of his errors after a chat from him.
Makoto in the next hour, chooses to have himself be confronted by the killer once going to asleep instead of one of his friends to see the theory of Kyoko to be true. Makoto wakes up to see the video on the screen brainwashing him to despair so he could kill himself but before that Juzo stops Makoto revealing he's alive and cut his arm from the bracelet. Revealing that Kyoko's notebook was correct of everyone killing themselves. Juzo manages to get in the control room freeing everyone before dying from his wounds. After revealing the Kenzo is the mastermind with his intentions, Ryota snaps and chooses to brainwash the world with hope despite Makoto and Aoi's objection. Ryota brainwashed all the soldiers so he can contribute his plan ad stop anyone doing so.
Right now the class 77-B would go back to the foundation and stop both the brainwash soldiers and Ryota from his plan saving everyone there. Makoto sees this and leaves it in Hajime's hand of the situation. Now as a principle of the school, he will prevent the same tragedy that will happen in the future.
Corrupting Factors
Nothing in my mind. He is mostly seen as a nice man and even with his moments he is not a massive jerk toward others and is always shown to be nice especially to those who are jerks to him. And his anger is justifiable especially Junko.
Admirable Standard
Well I would say yes easily. I mean the standard is high but Makoto passes it in my eyes with his many heroic deeds.
I mean he not only saved his classmates multiple times from the culprit on each trial, but he is also the one who stopped Junko from bringing the survivors to despair and putting an end to her killings and what she did to the classmates or the world especially on what she did in the killing game.
As part of future foundation, Makoto prevented the class 77-B into being killed and freed them from their brainwash in the program opposing the organization's order believing he can save them without them being murdered. All this lead to a big impact and he had a very big influence of the story. Plus as the new principle of Hope's Peek, he will make sure the same tragedy will never happen again in the future.
Final Verdict
Keeper.
