Love Across the Universe/Kaede Akamatsu

This article is covers Kaede Akamatsu's Love Across the Universe date events, which feature in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. In this article you will find a guide to which date options give the best results and full transcripts of each date.

Mechanics
Shuichi must first complete a Kaede's Free Time Event route and obtain all 5 hearts before he is able to access the use of Date Tickets. For a guide to Kaede's Free Time Event route, see: Free Time Events/Kaede Akamatsu.

After completing Kaede's Free Time Event route, he must then use Date Tickets, purchasable from the Casino at the end of each day, and choose a location. Each location has 3 separate sets of activities to choose from, for a total of 9 per location. Depending on the option chosen, Shuichi will receive a different response:

When getting close to 10 full hearts (which can be checked at Monokuma at the school entrance), Kaede's Harmonious Heart event will be triggered at random, which is a Non-Stop Debate style minigame that gives Shuichi an insight into Kaede's inner thoughts.

Achieving 10 hearts will unlock Kaede's ending at the end of Love Across the Universe. On the 10th day, Shuichi will be in the courtyard with any characters that he 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. Kaede's heart status carries on into subsequent playthroughs of Love Across the Universe, and his graduation event can be viewed for each subsequent playthrough until they reset the mode.

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

Harmonious Heart
Harmonious Heart is a minigame in Love Across the Universe. It uses mechanics similar to the Non Stop Debate trial minigame during Class Trials. During this event, Shuichi will get insight into Kaede's inner thoughts, and can refute or confirm something she is anxious about by using special Truth Bullets called "deny" and "affirm". Successfully navigating this event is necessary to unlock Kaede's ending.

If Shuichi has achieved all 10 hearts by the 10th day of Love Across the Universe, he will unlock Kaede's Graduation Event.

After completing Kaede's Love Across the Universe ending, you will receive the following Present:
