So... Okazaki Hanano- or rather, Yume Yonekura thoughts?
//So normally I don't talk about people I already covered.
//However to say a lot has been discovered about Okazaki in Chapter 3 is a bit of a underestatement so she's getting a bit of a update.
//As I already talked about her general personality and her Chapter 1 +2 actions this will exclusively cover her Chapter 3 actions.
//Under the cut we go:
//When we start off Chapter 3, Okazaki is on full blast from Watari since due to her immoral actions in Chapter 2's investigation, people are getting nervous of her. She seems apologetic to Watari and vows she will try to be better...
//Of course we all know that was a fucking lie, since Okazaki doubles down on her tormenting Wada. At first we didn't know why she was doing this other then the lulz but now knowing Okazaki's true nature, I felt she did this to get a rise out of Tsuno given how protective she is over Wada. Heck her savagely beating up Wada was to try and get him away from the 3D printer as she needed to use it for her plans.
//It was foreshadowed about her true nature from how she interacts with Tsuno and people complaining their stuff was going missing as remember when Hirokai was on Harada's case for his drugs being missing? Well...turns out Okazaki has been doing a bit of borrowing without permission, for no other reason then because she can.
//I got some backlash from the Tetro Pink community for calling Okazaki a sociopath due to ableist reasons, now I will like to retract my sociopathic statement on her since a key takeaway from them is that they have no empathy, that caring for others is something they don't instinctively have and have to pretend to care but most of the time they...struggle. Levi from Despair Time is a very good example from this as I do believe he is a sociopath but he behaves more like a realistic portayal of one, someone who tries to blend in and do good but they trying to work out a manual that others just know by instinct. Meanwhile Okazaki does actually care for Watari. Its in a very twisted manner, but she does possess some empathy, so she doesn't fit and Okazaki's twisted behaviour does have another explanation for it.
//I said from the start that she was the most likely person to double murder and I was completely right. I'm just so glad that my mistrust in Okazaki was well placed as well obviously I didn't expect the supervillain twist but let's face it, I don't think anyone did. But her supervillian persona I think has a sad origin behind it as we know she ran away from home and went off to live by herself and after finding out who their mother is, certain behaviour traits make more sense. Most supervillains especially the over the top hammy ones, often have neglectful childhoods and go full ham because they want some level of attention from others as they hate being ignored. This is Okazaki in steroids as she hates the fact that Tsuno, her self-proclaimed arch-nemesis has no idea who she is, and it pisses her off. Okazaki even has a evil laugh "Konkonkonkon" to really hammer it home.
//What I love is when she's going through her breakdown, nobody was taking any manners of this, calling out Okazaki on her stupid reasons to kill, and Wada was almost gonna punch Okazaki but Ojima stopped him, but Ken was ultimately the one who slapped Okazaki, and he berates her for all the horrible shit she's done. Okazaki also manages to be the SECOND person to be the culprit and do a Closing Argument about their own crimes, I said second because sorry Bubbles but Akane Taira did this in Chapter 5 of Danganronpa Another so Okazaki wasn't the first.
//Their execution was as brutal as always as well...not only has Game of Thrones shown how horrible drinking molten gold is, but I believe it was a form of execution in some Mesoamercian Empires and if it was used as that, it shows how horrible it is. And then we get the bombshell that Okazaki's real name is Yume Yonekura, and they are the child of the Mastermind behind the Killing Game.
//I'm not using their real name because its just their birth name, and they have long since discarded it, similar to Mukuro in ASOOT, its not her birth name but we still call her Mukuro. Plus its a horrid reminder that their own mother was the one who killed them for the sake of their experiment. But at the same time, the detached personality of Okazaki, how she doesn't see any issues using immoral acts to get results and acting surprised when people call this out? Seems like the apple doesn't fall far from the tree~
//The breakdown is gonna stick in your head for a while but the question is, will it be a good one or a bad one, only time will tell.
