Not the anon that asked this, but considering Komaedaās my favorite DR character and Ouma is kind of second at this point, I would also agree theyāre totally not the same. They have a couple of similar traits, but like a lot of their core aspects are pretty different to be honest.

And also: lumping them together and calling them the same totally does injustice to the way Kodaka wrote them, and also shows a lack of understanding for both characters in my opinion...
Right! Itās plain insulting to the frankly ridiculous amount of work Kodaka put in on Ouma, to act like heās nothing more than some Nagito clone with the āshit stirringā.Ā They operate on a completely different basis to begin with, and this ties in to the wholeĀ āchemicalā vsĀ āsituationalā deal regarding behaviour and motive.Ā
We know that Nagitoās thing is largely chemistry based (that is, until a certainĀ āmotiveā he gets in ch4) due to how his brain literally reacts to the killing game and worsens because of it, but Oumaās not that simple because the mystery elements outright suggest his situationĀ surrounding the entire thing is more complicated than the othersā, even extending to his talentās existence. This is the most major difference that I wish people would acknowledge more, geez!
(Though Ouma wound up beating out Nagito for top favourites there was a time I was unhealthily attached to the latter, way back in the day..)
