Island Mode/Nekomaru Nidai



This article covers Nekomaru Nidai's Island Mode events, which feature in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. In this article you will find a guide to which trip options will give the best results, full transcripts of each trip, and transcripts of his Shot Through The Heart event and Island Mode ending.

Mechanics
After choosing where to go on a trip, Hajime will have a series of conversation topics to choose from. Depending on the option chosen, Hajime will receive a different response:

When getting close to 10 full hearts, Nekomaru's Shot Through The Heart event will be triggered, which will give Hajime an insight into Nekomaru's inner thoughts.

Achieving 10 hearts will unlock Nekomaru's ending at the end of Island Mode. On the 51st day of Island Mode, Hajime will be alone at the Beach with any characters that the player has earned full max reputation with. Talking to them will trigger a final dialogue choice option. If the player selects the correct answer, they will receive that character's special present - that character's underwear. This will also unlock a heart icon next to that character's picture's on subsequent playthroughs of Island Mode.

General Reactions
These dialogues are the reactions Hajime will receive at the end of the trip, depending on which choice was made.

Shot Through The Heart
Shot Through The Heart is a minigame in Island mode. It uses mechanics similar to the Non Stop Debate trial minigame during Class Trials. During this event, Hajime will get insight into Nekomaru's inner thoughts, and can refute or confirm something he is anxious about by using special Truth Bullets called "negation" and "affirmation". Successfully navigating this event is necessary to unlock Nekomarui's ending.

Nekomaru's Ending
If Hajime has achieved all 10 hearts by the 51st day of Island Mode, Hajime will unlock Nekomaru's ending.

After seeing the Island Mode ending with every possible character, you will receive the following Trophy/Achievement:
