CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Nagito Komaeda
Canon: Dangan Ronpa 2
Canon point: Post-game
Age: 22
History: Link

Personality:

Komaeda comes across as pretty normal before you get to know him. He goes out of his way to help Hinata get acquainted with the island and everyone else, provides encouragement, and tries his best to ensure his fellow classmates' comfort. Generally, he just wants to be useful to the people around him. At the same time he isn't above teasing others in a playful way, and he swings between being optimistic and pessimistic at the drop of a hat. As someone surrounded by talented people, he's also all too excited to learn more about them, whether it's from online searching or asking them to their face. Even Hinata, who can't remember his own talent, is so attuned to Hope's Peak Academy that it keeps Komaeda interested in him anyway, curious as to what his talent could be.

His guise of being a helpful and sincere student quickly dissipates the moment "Hope" is mentioned around him. His relationship with hope is pretty special, after all. To him, it's a powerful force of absolute good, represented by the talents of the Ultimate students at Hope's Peak Academy. His fixation on this idea of it causes him to appear as if he's discarded all rhyme or reason behind his actions because nothing matters to him more than witnessing and encouraging hope in others. When you don't understand his idea of hope and how it comes about, it makes it difficult to understand why he acts the way he does. So instead his behaviour — swirling eyes, drooling, holding himself, sudden changes in attitude and treatment of others, and moral flexibility that most wouldn't agree with — comes across as creepy and uncomfortable to those around him.

So why does he act like such a freak about hope? The way Komaeda's life up until now has been left him with no other choice. His luck is prone to drastic upswings and downward spirals that are extreme to the point of being beyond belief or comprehension to most people. For every bad thing that happened to him, he would be granted good luck of equal or (more often) greater value, but the reverse is also true. It isn't unusual for these instances of bad luck to be traumatic: kidnapping, terrorism, freak accidents and the deaths of loved ones are all fair game as consequences. Shortly before his admission to Hope's Peak Academy, a dream come true, Komaeda was diagnosed with stage 3 malignant lymphoma and frontotemporal dementia, having up to a year to live. But as grim as things get, it's okay because something even more hopeful will happen next right? By seeing things this way, by living with hope in his heart, Komaeda was able to accept the consequences of his talent. The problem is that there was nothing but hope there, because every time he had a chance at happiness as a result of his good luck, the subsequent bad luck would ensure that things precious to him were taken away. Hope for his future became a necessity for him, something that he's grown dependent on so that he doesn't fall into the despair that his bad luck would otherwise trap him in.

With Komaeda's life being this tumultuous, forming relationships with the people around him is no easy feat. The nature of his talent means that people will drop like flies around him if he happens to get too attached to them, so it's really better if he doesn't bother doing so. But even though he can't grow close to people, he can admire them, and he does — if they're fellow Ultimates. Their talents are the embodiment of hope in his eyes, and the people who have them are Symbols of Hope that he loves and believes in dearly. Compared to them, the untalented, and even those with lowly talents such as himself, are basically worms in the ground, only there to feed nutrients into the soil and allow the talented to bloom. Thinking like that, he speaks to the talentless critically and almost heartlessly — a stark contrast from the cheerful and encouraging way he responds to the talented. If his stratification between talented and untalented and the different ways he treats them wasn't bad enough, his dementia also causes him to appear detached emotionally and speak in ways that can easily offend others, further sabotaging any chance he may have at normal relationships.

So all of this ends up with people seeing Komaeda as creepy, a nuisance and a danger to everyone around him, including himself. While that is true, the way he views himself is different — he finds himself to be the foundation of hope, a person that will use their own life to ensure that the talented people around him grow strong and can acquire hope and defeat despair. As an Ultimate, he'll go above and beyond to ensure his ideals for hope are realized, even if he has to make their enemy of despair into a hurdle for everyone to work together and climb over. Overcoming any obstacle that bars its path will only serve to make it stronger, and in the end, it's the light of the very strongest hope that Komaeda wants to see. As long as they can overcome the obstructions in their way, they'll come to find that at the end of their long, perilous journey, that the light at the end is the prize that Komaeda has worked hard for them to meet: hope.

Powers/abilities: Ultimate Luck

Questions:

★ What does your character consider to be their top three strengths?
Hope: because it's everything to Komaeda — the motivation that literally drives him through the entirety of his series. Talent: this is hope as well, but only the talented are capable of being symbols of hope. Komaeda has a talent, and that reflects the strength of his hope. Luck: even though Komaeda often dismisses its worth, he takes full advantage of his luck to make sure everything goes according to plan.
☆ What do others consider to be your character's greatest weakness?
He's unreliable. Due to Komaeda's outlook on hope and hardship as just another stepping stone, it's hard for the people around him to tell whether he's on "their side" or not. They can't trust him, so why would they want to keep him around? It's a problem that feeds into itself because he can't help anybody who doesn't trust him, and instead he ends up trying to throw a wrench into everyone's plans.

★ What are your character's three greatest fears?
Aircrafts: the airplane in his youth was hijacked, and a meteor rained down killing the assailants and his parents. Claustrophobia: he mentions that it'd be painful to be stuck inside of a ships cabin, and he was stuffed inside a bag when taken hostage as a child. Getting close to someone and bonding with them only for them to die inevitably in the end thanks to Komaeda's luck — feels self-explanatory.

☆ What would your character choose for a last meal?
Komaeda's palate isn't as broad as his rich background would have you think — despite his sickly health, he'd simply ask for toast, or just bread.

★ Has your character ever killed? If so, how did that affect them? If not, how would it affect them?
Not directly, but he doesn't mind trying! Komaeda's sees death as just another stepping stone for hope; even if he or anyone else dies, overcoming that hardship only serves to strengthen hope. Because of this, he doesn't mind killing or assisting in the murder of one of his fellow students, or even being a victim himself.

☆ If your character was given one selfish wish, what would it be?
Just like Komaeda himself, as well as the nature of hope and despair, his wish has two opposing sides. Consciously, if he were to choose his wish, he would choose to become the Ultimate hope and be revered and respected for his accomplishment. Subconsciously, his true underlying wish is to escape the cycle of good and bad luck that his talent has trapped him in — to be normal. As much as Komaeda has an obsession with luck, with talent, with hope, it's a sense of acceptance that stems from the fact that they aren't things he can escape or live without. It's like Stockholm syndrome where his talent keeps him hostage.
