Let’s hope early 2018 holds up!  Do you think the game might end up getting delayed (*coughcoughFFVIIcough*)? How long have you been waiting for this announcement? Are you a fan of the franchise? Let us know in the comments!

Time to meet the Monokubs!

Now that we have a feel for the participants of the new killing game in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, it’s time to meet the masterminds controlling the game. Upupupupupu!

Monosuke

b22eabd5-ec59-4464-bc52-5dde32b32958.png

Opinionated and no patience for foul language, Monosuke is the most rational member of the Monokubs.  “Monosuke believes that the Monokubs should be hostile toward each other, and approves of infighting among the group.”

Monokid

95416875-d4c1-4571-9bba-dc010b2df0db

Short-tempered, foul mouthed, violent, spouts incoherent nonsense, unattentative, and completes sentences with a “Hell Yeah!”, Monokid is pretty much the jerk of the Monokubs.

Monotaro 

c7f038ce-2a4b-4859-99d7-828f46cf01bb.png

“The childish, scatterbrained leader of the Monokubs. Monotaro often struggles to keep his rambunctious siblings focused on the task at hand. ”

Monophanie

5778ddbf-d4f3-4567-8110-85f0dc0af485

The only female of the group. She is kind and can’t handle violence.  Monophanie often tries to settle quarrels, but ends up joining them anyway.  Cute, endearing (can that even be said about a Mono anything?!), Monophanie suggests the killing game should be less violent.

Monodam

4094a8c7-a57a-4bf2-97dc-cfcf037f599c

Enduring years of bullying from Monokid, Monodam has closed his heart and rarely speaks to the other Monokubs.  He’s also the only Monokub to look like a robot.

What do you think of the Monokubs? I’m slightly concerned since they seem highly reminiscent of the Lil’ Ultimates from Ultra Despair Girls.  But we are going back to a visual novel, so I think the Monokub’s might be really fun characters.  Why do you think they are “Kubs”? Do you think there might be more Lil’ Ultimates trying to bring about more despair? Any theories? Let me know in the comments!

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows

Yomawari is back! The next installment after Yomawari: Night Alone, Midnigh Shadows introduces us to two new characters: Yui and Haru.  After getting separated, will they survive the night to reunite with one another?

Key Features

  • Two Views of the Dark – Search the night and explore a town as either of Yomawari: Midnight Shadow’s two characters. What you find with one may serve as a clue, or even save the other.

  • Horrors, Oddities, and Mysteries – When Japanese spirits come to life, you’ll encounter horrors birthed in nightmares, oddities that will make you question what is real, and mysteries that may just keep you up at night.

  • Gorgeous Style – Enter the dark with haunting art to view the city and from above, and get close to the heart-pounding moments in beautifully imagined side-scrolling set pieces.

Yomawari: Midnight Shadows is coming to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Steam this Fall!

 

 

More Ultimates from Danganronpa V3 revealed!

Here’s a recap of who we have met so far for Danganronpa V3:

Kaede Akamatsu, Rantaro Amami, Miu Iruma, Kokichi Oma, K1-B0, Gonta Gokuhara, Shuichi Saihara, and Tsumugi Shirogane.

Now introducing:

Ultimate Anthropologist: Korekiyo Shinguji

1940a939-9479-46de-9ad0-99f2a9aa004c

Korekiyo has traveled around the world, studying many different cultures as part of his anthropological research. His travels have instilled in him an appreciation for the “beauty of humanity.” For this reason, he observes his classmates with great curiosity, eager to see what sort of beauty they will produce given their unique situation.

Calm, collected and intelligent, Korekiyo’s mannerisms and appearance can nevertheless be quite unnerving to some. Even his ethics and morality may be a departure from what one might consider normal.

Ultimate Aikido Master: Tenko Chabashira

34d714fa-6ad0-4c24-9879-89ebbf5961f1

Tenko is a practitioner of Neo-Aikido, a martial art that she created alongside her master by reimagining the style of traditional aikido.

To say she merely dislikes men is an understatement. As an androphobe, Tenko refers to all men as “male degenerates.” Though compliments from a woman will make her heart aflutter, the same compliment from a man could result in him getting thrown across the room.

Tenko does not hide her emotions well, and she has a tendency to overreact to situations in an exaggerated manner. She also has a habit of yelling at the top of her lungs. Though she claims it helps bolster her fighting spirit, her frequent shouting often strikes others as incredibly obnoxious.

Ultimate Maid: Kirumi Tojo

f5add276-8523-4f72-9267-df8185f4fd2c

A calm, dignified young woman of sound mind and peak physical fitness. Kirumi made a name for herself while working as a part-time maid, earning a reputation for fulfilling to perfection any request made of her. However, she refuses all requests made by corrupt individuals.

As a maid, Kirumi embodies the philosophy of selfless devotion. Even while trapped in the Ultimate Academy, she continues to serve her classmates almost on instinct, such as by preparing meals and doing chores.

Ultimate Child Caregiver: Maki Harukawa

cb8c5eca-623c-4e59-9dbc-995fd33971e0

Raised in an orphanage, Maki did not seek out the role of child caregiver but instead had the role thrust upon her.

For this, she was recognized as the Ultimate Child Caregiver. But despite her title, Maki’s not particularly caring or friendly. And though children are fond of her, she personally can’t stand them.

Despite her cute appearance, Maki is a hostile misanthrope of few words, and rarely cooperates with her classmates. Nevertheless, she is willing to take action when it suits her.

Ultimate Tennis Pro: Ryoma Hoshi

32bc423b-b09d-4319-8b21-52353355eb6e

From middle school onward, Ryoma was a talented tennis player with a bright future ahead of him, and had won championships around the world. But after he used his tennis skills and a custom-made steel tennis ball to kill members of an organized crime syndicate, he was arrested, found guilty, and sentenced to death.

Awaiting his punishment on death row before arriving at the Ultimate Academy, Ryoma claims he is no longer the same person who was bestowed the title of Ultimate Tennis Pro.

Displaying a maturity that is rare among teenagers, Ryoma seems older than his appearance would suggest. Even in the presence of pain and death, Ryoma remains unflappable.

Ultimate Astronaut: Kaito Momota

7aeff562-7778-4b78-87d1-4aa2dde43d34

Astronaut cadets must have a college degree and pass a rigorous exam before they can even be considered for the astronaut training program. Kaito, however, used forged documents to take the exam before he graduated high school, and became the first teenager to pass it.

Ultimately, Kaito’s forgery was discovered. But his unorthodox approach to the exam piqued such interest that he was accepted as a cadet anyway. Though Kaito still has yet to visit outer space, his romanticized view of the cosmos remains stronger than ever.

Valuing dreams and passion above all else, Kaito often dispenses such wisdom as “Limits don’t exist unless you set them yourself!” and “You gotta be a little reckless to make your dreams reality!”

Ultimate Magician: Himiko Yumeno

adfa309e-3e68-4fc8-8521-cbb50f7c5ad0

A skilled magician who claims her tricks are the result of real magic. Himiko is the youngest recipient of the Magician of the Year award from the Magic Castle, an organization made up of stage magic enthusiasts from around the world. However, she claims this award was just a clever ruse to hide her actual magic powers from the rest of the world.

She complains about the constant requests she receives from people who don’t believe her magic is real, but still want to see her performances.

Regardless of whether it’s parlor tricks or real magic, Himiko has an uncanny knack for card and coin magic tricks, as well as making doves appear out of thin air. But despite the high demand for her magical aptitude, Himiko is also extremely lazy.

Ultimate Artist: Angie Yonaga

4a77ad0b-539c-4a99-9304-96eb2623fb32

A zealously devout girl who claims that her island god, Atua, is always by her side. Though Angie draws and sculpts, she considers herself an instrument of Atua, and credits her artistic works to him and him alone.

She has an upbeat, somewhat ditzy attitude, and often says unique remarks such as “Bye-onara.” Chief among her personality quirks is her claim to speak on her god’s behalf, as well as her tendency to ask others for (non-fatal) blood sacrifices to Atua.

The next batch of Ultimates look fun! I absolutely cannot wait for the game to release!  Who is your favorite character so far? Which Ultimate ability do you wish you had? Let me know in the comments.
