Talk:Danganronpa: Togami

novel validity
Hey! I didn't want to be presumptuous and edit anything off the bat as I'm not well versed in fandom site etiquette, but I would like to point out that information that is talked about in danganronpa togami IS actually referenced in main series. In the ultimate imposter's 4th free time event he states that he had 108 siblings (as opposed to the 15 byakuya himself mentioned, which also gives me some other thoughts only partially related) and he also mentions kijo's ranking system. During the competition flashback kijo gives every kid a ranking from gold (highest) to silver to bronze (lowest) and the ultimate imposter not only talks about it but says he himself was bronze (other theories on that but nothing canon). I don't know any other material these facts were mentioned in though as byakuya himself was actually rather cagey on the subject from what I've seen and it says he only has 15 on the main wiki regardless. feel free to talk to me about any of it! thanks. (forgive me if I've posted this in the wrong place. Again, I'm very new here.) (-crimsonsnippet)


 * While im in the stance that DRT is valid, technically it came out after dr2, and it pulled it from that for the fabricated flashback scene. I recommend reading the third volume and the spinoff wiki for more details, such as how the flashback is fabricated and false in context of the story, and what the truth is. if anything the DR3 anime showing kazuichis dekotora and the scene with sonia looking at the satelite is more of a concrete reference as that came out afterward. However all that information is over on the sister spinoffs wiki, which you can access through most of the links on the DRT page. Once you read the last volume I think you'll understand why its difficult to extract information from it properly, as part of the plot. TheGameSurgery (talk) 06:44, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

I have read the others actually I've done quite a bit of analysis on the subject. While it may have come out first and that scene was fabricated I don't believe it changes the canonicity of the book as while that was a flawed flashback (to what extent we don't know as K said blue ink's memories couldn't be too drastically far from reality or it would have upset and distorted her world view as with Orvin but I digress) the references that are there don't discount the overall validity despite the fact the memory was flawed because the rest of the book did eventually set on track with reality. I see where you're coming from as it's hard to ascertain details and relevance with the main theme being truth in the eye of the beholder but I don't think the invalidity of the flashbacks discount the entire series as a whole as the symbolism and world building done are still implemented in later series, and along with the themes in other spin offs actually make V3 make a good deal more sense thematically as an end to the series. In this case I feel like it would be more proactive to talk about the discrepancies in the timeline.
