I Stan Nagito Komaeda - Tumblr Posts
Dear lord what have I done oh my god, did I really write a public apology towards Nagito Komaeda just to get a good grade.
Bye I'm going back to the trash can (aka my home by default) Well, at least I am passing the semester in this class, no? That's all what matters here.

A public apology towards Nagito Komaeda
Well… what can I tell you?
Months ago, if you had told me I was gonna write a public apology towards Nagito saying I was sorry for ever hating him, I would have laughed at you. It just seemed too distant for me to actually get into Danganronpa, and even weirder that I could ever get any interest towards Nagito Komaeda. Hell, being completely honest, I even went as far to claim that I hated him with all my soul, which was not justified at all since I didn’t even have a reason to do so. I just hated him with no reason at all.
Truth is, that after years of insistence and having to get involved with Danganronpa when I wanted to write a character that was supposed to make references to Komaeda, I had to actually go see what Danganronpa was about, and so I did.
I watched the anime, read some character wikis and I currently am watching a no-commentary gameplay of DR2. And turns out I enjoyed it! Not only that, but I came to understand Nagito better, as well as realize how much I relate to him in some ways (to be fair, it sounds crazy but I am quite a person with an insane kind of luck myself) And when I had realized this drastic change in my thoughts, I felt like I had to write this.
YES, I KNOW I AM APOLOGIZING TO AN ANIME CHARACTER, YES I KNOW THIS IS CRINGE, PLEASE DON’T LAUGH AT ME DAMN.
But yes. This also made me realize how most people see Komaeda as the most evil character in DR2, when I don’t think he is, really. He’s not innocent at all, that’s a fact we’re all aware of. But everyone tends to forget the horrible amount of trauma this guy has, and the fact that he did have good intentions in the end. His methods were kind of fucked up though, but once you get to see the full picture, you can’t really justify the things he did, but you can understand his motives and what led him to do it.
Anyways.
In conclusion: Nagito Komaeda, I am so sorry to have ever claimed I hated you. I don’t hate you at all, you’re an amazing character and I cherish you with all my soul (also you need therapy. A lot of therapy). And for the people who got me into Danganronpa: look what you have done guys. Are you happy now? Is this what you wanted? Thank you for introducing me to DR tho, I hate to admit it but I loved it.
Hope you liked this. I sure as heck am cringing rn at this, but oh well.
