What started as just a Danganronpa fan-character has turned into a (mostly?) unrelated AU storyline that I hope to write one day, and overall has been a major fixation the past couple of years. So this year I decided to celebrate with a special illustration! This is also the first time I've actually drawn his original uniform in this much detail... I don't even have a complete reference sheet, and even the out of date one is still in a rough sketch state. ^^; As always, feel free to ask questions about him! Please keep in mind that there's: 1: His original incarnation trapped in a DR killing game, 2: The more general non-despair AU version, which continues into 3: What I'll temporarily(?) dub the "Bound in Scarlet"-verse, which is about him falling in love with a woman named Yui. ... I'll eventually get that story written. (I hope.) So keep those AUs in mind if you want a more specific answer, I guess? Shoutout to @elisalsaa for keeping me motivated to develop him~

Bonus: I guess I'll throw in the original concept designs from 2024 here.
