Chapter 1 Analysis: On Komaeda, Hinata and the lead-up to the âbetrayalâ (an interpretation of their relationship at that point)
When it comes to why Komaeda gets attached to Hinata from the get-go, something he brings up in his interactions with Hinata on a regular basis is how he feels theyâre similar to each other. This is partly because Komaeda views himself as effectively talentless and worthless, and he can somehow sense that Hinata doesnât have the aura of someone with talent, even if heâs only subconsciously aware of it at the beginning.Â
This is why when he meets the boy who cannot remember anything about his talent or why he was accepted into Hopeâs Peak, Komaeda feels a special connection with him, one that he cannot feel with any of the other Ultimates, because he perceives them as his superiors and feels like an outsider amongst them. But Hinata is different from everyone else. Komaeda knows as much, deep down, and thatâs why heâs so attracted to Hinata.Â
However, thereâs another reason Komaeda feels Hinata is similar to himself, which is their views on talent. Komaeda is able to tell that Hinata is also someone who reveres talent and Hopeâs Peak, and itâs because of all those similarities that Komaeda is able to recongize either on a conscious or subconscious level that heâs so drawn to Hinata from the start. Komaeda is a person whoâs spent his entire life alone and is so lonely as a result, and despite the fact that he thinks he deserves it and every other terrible thing that happened to him, heâs still desperate to connect with someone. And thereâs no better candidate that Hinata with whom Komaeda feels a profound connection.
In other words, Komaeda is attracted to Hinata so much because he believes he understands Hinata on a deeper level, and he believes that Hinata can understand him in a similar way in return. Komaeda believes all this from the bottom of his heart and thatâs why he feels a unique bond with Hinata that he doesnât with anyone else.
Thereâs also the fact that Hinata is a soothing presence for Komaeda. Hinata was perceptive enough to somehow sense that Komaedaâs carefree and easy-going attitude in the face of the exceedingly bizarre situation they were abruptly thrown into, by a ridiculous talking rabbit mascot, on their first day at Hopeâs Peak, was a result of some past trauma, and while this conclusion may seem entirely correct retrospectively, this isnât all thereâs to it.Â
We find out in one of Komaedaâs Island Mode events, particularly one of the amusement park ones, that heâs always feeling afraid, and that heâs always feeling anxious, giving him no compelling reasons whatsoever to want to enter a haunted house when fear is a feeling heâs more than used to in his daily life because of his luck cycle.
And generally, Island Mode illustrates how Komaeda is constantly anxious while heâs experiencing good luck, because he perceives it as preparation for the bad luck thatâs going to follow and therefore he cannot find it in himself to relax when he knows something terrible is going to happen soon enough to balance the good luck as opposed to when heâs experiencing bad luck and can look forward to the good luck thatâs going to follow (basically the killing game as a whole). This is all because of his weird talent, when something bad happens to Komaeda, something good always happens next, and the other way around.
With all that in mind, itâs worth noting that one of his first reactions to being transported to the island from the classroom at the very start, right after Usami made it clear that the place is an uninhabited one, was to frighteningly ask if she brought them there to force them to kill each other. This is evidence that he was indeed scared and he did find their circumstances rather worrying, perhaps to a greater extent than anyone else.
Moreoever, in hindsight Komaeda shouldnât have been able to stay so calm during the prologue considering itâd appear to him like good luck thatâs going to be followed by bad luck sooner or later just like Island Mode, yet he somehow was despite all odds and this is all because of Hinata.
This is exactly where Komaedaâs first FTE comes in to re-contextualize his behavior throughout the prologue. When Komaeda was trying to help Hinata remember the talent he allegedly possesses, yet completely forgot about for reasons that were unknown at the time, the first title Komaeda assigned Hinata with, before anything else, was âUltimate Serenityâ. When Hinata wondered what part of him made him think up something like that, Komaeda said that ability to bring someone serenity simply by being there is an amazing one.
Behind this veil of casualness, a hidden message begins to reveal itself. Hinataâs sheer presence was more than enough for Komaeda to remain optimistic and constantly reassure Hinata that everything will be alright in return. The fact that Hinata was there, around him and by his side, being who he is, calmed Komaedaâs anxiety and helped him think more positively of the situation at hand.
This is equally significant for Hinata, who has internalized what society perpetuates about being talented deciding oneâs worth, so for him to be able to do something so special simply by existing and being himself is really special. It also reinforces that Komaeda truly loved Hinata for who he is, purely for personality and drive alone, and gave him the unconditional love he needed through that seemingly innocuous title, even if they were both unaware of all of that at the time.Â
One exchange that further supports this conclusion is the one that takes place the morning after the first motiveâs reveal. We see that Komaeda is down, but a venting to Hinata is enough to make him feel self-assured once again.
That and if you approach Komaeda during the second FTE slot, when heâs hanging out at Jabberwock Park where Sonia also happens to be, you get optional dialogue in which Komaeda tells Hinata that he feels so calm around him.
As for Hinataâs side, at the start of the prologue when he had a panic attack and collapsed on the beach, Komaeda was the only one who stayed by his side and called out to him, when literally everyone else left to explore the rest of the island without a care. On top of that, even after Hinata woke up and told Komaeda to leave him alone, Komaeda still refused to do so out of concern because Hinata was looking so pale at the time.
When the two of them exchanged introductions Hinata blanked when he was asked about his talent by Komaeda and couldnât quite remember certain things in his confusion, but Komaeda was compassionate about it and made sure to reassure him by telling him that itâs not his fault and that itâs only a matter of time before he starts remembering everything again.
Once all that was done, Komaeda offered to tag along with Hinata in order to help him explore the island and introduce himself to the other students. Throughout all that he used the research he had done before coming to provide Hinata with valuable information about each and every one of the students and their respective talents, tried to reassure Hinata on multiple occasions (such as when Monomi turned the chicken in the farm into a cow and he calmed Hinata down by telling him that itâs most likely magic trick that was prepared beforehand for the purpose of cheering them up), and was really helpful in general.Â
During the entirety of the prologue Hinata didnât quite warm up to the majority of his classmates and thought they were just a bunch of weirdos, yet on one occasion he speculated that Komaedaâs oddly laid-back attitude was because heâs been through so much trauma in the past. He was only this sympathetic and perceptive with Komaeda and theyâve only known each other for like, what, an hour at that point? How much Hinata came to care about Komaeda in the short amount of time they knew each other is already evident.
Regarding a poorly translated line, I have a little thing to add about something that further proves how much Hinata cared about Komaeda from the start:
During Fuyuhikoâs introduction Komaeda warned Hinata to not mention anything related to his babyface, and Hinata said in response âNagito, youâre like⊠my savior or somethingâ. In the original text it was âçæăăăŁăšăćăŻäżșăźćœăźæ©äșșă ăȘâ. Hinataâs expression here can mean âto be oneâs savior/lifesaverâ and he says it without the hesitation present in the localization. It basically translates into âKomaeda⊠you surely are my saviorâ because he used the word ăăŁăš which means âsurely, undoubtedlyâ and (äżșăź)ćœăźæ©äșș which is practically the equivalent to âI owe you my life/you saved my lifeâ. Itâs a pretty strong and bold expression of gratitude but the localization made it the complete opposite by toning down his certainty.
Moreover, when everyone was gathered at the beach where they first arrived after being called there by Usami once they were done exploring the island, Hinata expressed his concerns over their situation, but everything he attempted to say, no matter how legitimate, was brushed off as too paranoid by almost everyone with the exception of Komaeda, Komaeda alone understood how Hinata felt and tried to calm him down without being dismissive.
And when Usami gave out the swimsuits and the majority of the students went to swim with Hinata left there, shocked at how unconcerned everyone is being, Komaeda was again the only person who went out of his way to let Hinata know that he understood where he was coming from and would be happy if he came along if he felt like it.
The first FTE is quite significant in how it makes Hinataâs otherwise subtle and not-in-your-face feelings about Komaeda in the main story more explicit, so in a sense it is as much about Hinata as it is about Komaeda himself and are arguably crucial to understanding Hinataâs feelings towards Komaeda at this point in the main story.
And really, itâs quite palpable how much Hinata cares about Komaeda, how much Komaedaâs smile puts him at ease, how grateful he is for Komaeda being there as someone who genuinely understands him and helps him in all sorts of ways, how much Komaedaâs unwavering belief in him makes him believe in himself, how heâs able to realize that Komaeda was messing him with him to lighten the mood which did wonders, how much he wants to get to know Komaeda better and reach a mutual understanding with him, and Komaeda himself is happy to be thanked by Hinata for similar reasons.
A few things to note about certain things in Komaedaâs first FTE:
At some point during Komaedaâs first FTE Hinata went âNagito is laughing in a carefree way. But seeing him laugh like that was enough to distract me from my worriesâ. However, in the original text Hinata said âçæăŻćæ°ă«çŹăŁăŠăăăă§ăăăăźçŹéĄăèŠăŠăăăšâŠ ăȘăăšăȘăæ°ăçŽăăæ°ăăăâ which roughly translates into âKomaeda smiles without a care. But, when I look at that smile⊠for some reason, it calms me downâ. Although Hinata used the expression æ°ăçŽăă which means âto be distracted from feelings of depression, boredom, tension, etc.â and it could be interpreted as romantic (something further reinforced by that being an almost copypaste of a line Makoto says about Sayaka).
One of Hinataâs biggest regrets was that he never got the chance to say âthank youâ to Chiaki and he gravely lamented his irresolution twice throughout the game. However, he successfully said âthank youâ to Komaeda in his first FTE.
Towards the end of the first FTE, while Komaeda was sharing a pure-hearted exchange with Hinata, instead of âUltimate Spiky hairâ, he actually teased him with âè¶ é«æ ĄçŽăźăăłăăłăăąăŒ/Ultimate Tsun Tsun Hairâ which is a play on âtsundereâ (a character archetype Hinata falls under despite being a fairly mild example) and Hinataâs spiky hair. Komaeda (and Monokuma later on) mentioning that Hinata is a tsundere is important.
Hinata was initially reluctant to consider friendship and camaraderie until Komaeda brought it.
Before the party during 2-1, after Hinata learnt about Komaedaâs preparations for the party and pondered upon how he could undergo this much trouble, he told Komaeda âNagito, youâre commendable.â Despite being a genuine compliment, something about it feels distant and inorganic. In the original text it was âăăăă ăȘăçæâ which roughly translates into âItâs as to be expected from you, Komaedaâ, which carries the subtle subtext that Hinata already had a high opinion of Komaeda.
During the 2-1 investigation, after listening to Ibukiâs account in regards to what happened during the blackout, Hinata noticed that Komaeda was lost in his own thoughts and after hearing out what Komaeda had to say and inquiring further by asking what exactly he meant, Komaeda said he wasnât sure and that it might be a better idea to discuss it after investigating some more. In response to that, Hinata went âWell, itâs not like I really careâŠâ which frankly sounds weirdly brash and dismissive. Meanwhile in the original text he goes âăŸă, ć„ă«æ§ăăȘăăă©â which roughly translates into âWell, I donât mindâ. The localization really sucks at keeping Hinataâs tone consistent for some reason.
During the 2-1 investigation when Komaeda said itâs better to die believing in others than to doubt them, Hinata reprimanded him for talking like that because they were investigating to live and in response to that Komaeda complimented him for being a âstrong person and a chosen oneâchosen by Hopeâs Peakâ. In response to that Hinata went âI donât know why, but⊠everytime we talk, I donât really know how Iâm supposed to reactâ.
The expression Hinata uses here is âèȘżćăçăââ and it does correspond to ânot sure how to reactâ, but it is considerably stronger. A more accurate translation would be âwhenever I talk to this guy, Iâm thrown off balanceâ. While not inherently romantic this expression could be interpreted as such depending on the context. Itâs basically like saying being around someone youâre crushing on makes you feel like youâre going crazy and given the context here is Hinata being complimented and validated on something heâs deeply insecure about, itâs not a stretch at all to say that Hinata might be developing such feelings for Komaeda (I even found a couple of Japanese threads where itâs used this way, here and here).
During the 2-1 investigation, after they finished investigating Togamiâs cottage Komaeda left with a pale face because he needed some time alone to collect his thoughts. Hinata was worried about him due to that but also probably disappointed because Komaeda couldnât stay with him until the start of the trial.
And this entire chapter culminates into the shitshow that is the 2-1 trial. Putting together everything weâve gathered thus far, itâs pretty clear how much Hinata liked and grew to trust and care for Komaeda. The trial took a turn for the worst and fucked everything up between them, and the âso kindâ boy who was his investigation buddy, who brought him a sense of security and comfort and gave him the attention and validation he needed at the time, turned out to be something he didnât expect in the slightest and he was incredibly distraught about having to accuse him despite only having known him for a few days. This is why he takes his perceived betrayal so personally later on.
I say âperceivedâ but donât get me wrong, Komaeda definitely betrayed his classmates by kick-starting the killing game, just not to the extent Hinata thought he did. Hinata had his own version of Komaeda that he believed was the âtrue Komaedaâ until that point, but when Komaeda showed a new side Hinata interpreted that as a betrayal of his trust when in reality there was neither an intent to hide anything on Komaedaâs part nor did he make any false promises to Hinata.Â
Komaeda never bothers to hide his issues or true nature from people after all, his self-deprecating nature is clearly visible from the start and he does seem to be more fixated on hope than most people are.
Thereâs no doubt kick-starting the killing game was an act of betrayal to the group at large, however, he never sold himself as anything other than what he is, despite Hinata believing otherwise. Itâs not that pre-trial and trial Komaeda are two distinct individuals because they are one in the same and itâs just Komaeda reacting to different circumstances. Hinata couldnât realize how deep his issues, insecurities and complexes went until Komaeda made the decision to act on them due to the pressure of the killing game.
During the 2-1 trial just before Komaedaâs twist, when Hinata was forced to implicate Komaeda, in English he reminisced about Komaedaâs company, âWe investigated together, you were so kindâŠâ Meanwhile in the original text he went âäžç·ă«ææ»ăăăćăâŠăăăȘă«ćȘăăăćăâŠâ which basically translates into âYou that investigated together with me, you that were so kindâŠâ. While both convey Hinataâs emotion that he was conflicted and heartbroken, the extra emphasis on âyouâ in the original implies itâs not just the memory of Komaedaâs company, but Komaeda himself that Hinata treasured greatly before the trial.
When Komaeda had his âepic villain breakdownâ and revealed his involvement with the murder as well as his motive, Hinata was in disbelief. In the original Japanese he asked himself the question: âæŹćœă«âŠăăźçæăăźă?â, which roughly translates into âIs he really⊠that Komaeda?â The emphasis on âthat Komaedaâ possibly implies that he couldnât quite associate this manic person with a demented thought process standing in front of him with that reliable friend he spent time with. He was in denial and wasnât quite ready to move on from his image of âthat Komaedaâ yet. On the other hand, in English it was âis heâŠis he the real Nagito?â as if heâs acknowledging that trial Komaeda is the real deal, easily ditching his original perception of pre-trial Komaeda. The localization completely erases Hinataâs denial and reluctance to move on.
At the end of the first part of the trial Hinata goes on an internal monologue in which he wonders if trial Komaeda is truly âthat Komaedaâ like he does in the earlier instance yet itâs poorly conveyed once again. This ends with Hinata deciding to shove those feelings into a box and pushing it to the back of his mind so he can concentrate on finding the blackened and suriving the trial, but he arguably never moves on and that becomes clear in later chapters (but thatâs also for a later write-up), because pre-trial Komaeda was that important for Hinata.
TL;DR: Hinata receives the validation and attention he so deeply desires, yet never gets from society due to being talentless, from Komaeda, and Komaeda feels most at ease with Hinata and gets the normalcy heâs always wanted because of his talent essentially ruining his life. Hinata likes Komaeda probably more than heâs aware, enjoys spending time with him, and is happy to investigate with him too, and Komaeda feels the same way about Hinata. Theyâre well on their way to becoming best friends until everything is fucked up so badly by the events of the first trial. If youâre familiar with Evangelion, their dynamic at the beginning shares so many similarities with Kawoshinâs before their âbreak-upâ that turns it into a rivalsâ one.
