Danganronpa: Puppet’s Game

Have you ever been hurt by somebody? Of course you have. How did you deal with that pain? Did you forgive the one who hurt you and move on or did you choose to forget them and the incident altogether? Did you choose something in between?

Puppet’s Game follows a cast of sixteen students attending the recently built Hope’s Peak University. All sixteen of them have been hurt in their lives, and follow some form of forgive/forget mentality. Half of them are characters veering towards forgiveness, and half veer towards forgetfulness.

The protagonist, the Ultimate Journalist Kiyoshi Suzuki, is the meaning of the word forget. He suffers from a brain deformity that destroyed his long term memory and rendered his short term memory almost completely obsolete. He is incapable of remembering anything for more than twenty four hours unless repeatedly given the information for an extended period of time.

On the flip side, the Ultimate Tennis Player, Sonja “Sage” Floros, is forgiveness itself. While cold and rude on the outside, Sage is a caring young woman who forgives everyone for everything simply because she does not have long enough left to hold a grudge. She’s suffering from several terminal illnesses that have capped her life expectancy at 25 years old.

These two plus their fourteen classmates aged 15-21 are the third class of Hope’s Peak University. They are abducted on their orientation day and forced to participate in a killing game by a… little girl..?

MonoPuppet is the mascot of the killing game, a puppet programmed by “The Puppeteer” to orchestrate the slaughter of Class Three. They look like an ordinary eight-year-old child, except for the colour-changing ball joints and the split-coloured hair.

To comply with the guidelines published by Spike Chunsoft, I redesigned the logo to not use the official DR logo anymore. I like this one a lot better, anyway.

Here’s a transparent version:

M: Noooo, it’s the Puppet’s Game tumblr’s first ever birthday! Mr Monokuma thought we should have a tea party with the big, important protagonist to celebrate!!

K: What the hell… are you talking.. about..?

M: Nevermind that! Are you enjoying your tea?

K: This is.. hot tap… water.

M: I’m eight. I don’t know how to make tea. Plus, the Puppeteer’s a big meanie and won’t let me use the kettle in case I spill it on myself.
