Terror Infinity Side B

Chapter 19, Dangan Ronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

Within the headquarters of the Warriors of Hope, Towa Hills, the wailing of a girl sobbing uncontrollably could be heard throughout the building. Within a certain room of Towa Hills a pink haired girl, Kotoko Utsugi was crying uncontrollable at the knees of a girl with green haired in a wheelchair. This girl, Monaca Towa, a few seconds ago looked innocent as she purposefully provoked Kotoko with a certain word that causes her to go into a emotional fit, but now her eyes had turned cold and void of all emotion as she reached out to her "friend" Kotoko and began to repeatedly punch her across the face while speaking with a gentle voice that hid a deep madness.

Monaca: "Ah, oh no! “Gentle”, is a trigger word for you Kotoko, wasn’t it? Oh dear, those Demons are the worst, doing this to poor Kotoko.... Honestly why.... why are they so unaware of so many things? Unaware of their own foolishness! Ugliness! Harmfulness! Stench! Worthlessness... really, even when their lives end, only hell is waiting for them. Ah, it’s because they’re so... unaware that they’ve defaced Kotoko like this. When they once took turns to... Beep and... beep.. and...... But it’s okay now.... Monaca here won’t be kind to you."

Monaca said all these kind, yet disturbing words to Kotoko as she repeatedly kept punching her till her hands were stained in her blood. She then finally stopped while gazing at her stained hands. There was no joy at the sight of blood for her, yet she intently watched it drip off her finger tips for some time until Kotoko had recovered enough to speak.

Kotoko: "Demons are... demons are nothing but dirty, smelly, ugly lumps of rotten flesh! Garbage that doesn’t have the right to exist. Demons as filthy looking as them should all die equally filthy deaths! Demons... Demons should have their throats packed with their own shit and choke on it! They should endure, endure, endure, endure, endure, and just endure until their intestines explode and die!!!"

The one among the Warriors of Hope with the greatest hatred and reason for hating "Demon", was the pink haired girl screaming her lungs out in front of Monaca, who was looking down at her with twisted joy. Kotoko Utsugi. Kotoko Utsugi is a character featured in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. Kotoko is one of the five members of the Warriors of Hope, in charge of the "Fighter" class. She has the title of Li'l Ultimate Drama from her time within the affiliated elementary school of Hope's Peak Academy.

Kotoko is a hot-headed girl who loves "adorbs" things. She collects them and seems even slightly obsessed with the concept. Kotoko also has an odd speech pattern as she often starts to list off-topic facts she finds interesting in the middle of conversation. Sometimes they're vaguely related to the topic (for example, if the topic is too long speeches, she starts to talk about how things like elephant's nose and giraffe necks are also too long(LOL the dirty joke)). Even still, her speech is clear and focused, unlike in the case of Jataro Kemuri who consistently talked nonsense. Kotoko acts cheerful, polite and happy, however, she is mentioned to have a bullying nature and she can be very mean and cruel. She is very mean to Jataro, even more than the others are, and she likes to tease Nagisa Shingetsu. However, she constantly tries to stay on Monaca Towa's good side and praises her a lot.

Kotoko seemingly loved her stage life, but she doesn't like to talk about it and considers it a thing far in the past. She was pampered a lot and now has quite strict, demanding personality. She also has a habit of curtsying and being rather dramatic, which also hints at her past as an actress. It's actually heavily implied that a lot of Kotoko's behavior is just an act and, being the former Li'l Ultimate Drama, she is very skilled at acting. The official art-book implies that her "cutesy" personality might be a front created as a coping mechanism and she herself mentions that she has to keep acting or else she becomes miserable.

Kotoko was born and raised in Towa City. She was a child prodigy and a famous child actor whose father was a dentist. When she was about 10 years old, her parents prostituted her off to producers where she was repeatedly xxxxxx by them. Her mother did it out of a twisted form of parental love and prostituted herself alongside Kotoko as a "mother and daughter set", believing that this was in her daughter's best interests and that it would help further Kotoko's career, making her "sparkle forever" and have the spotlight. Kotoko's mother saw youth as a great, horrifying power, and one that should be used to your advantage when you still could. She didn't care if Kotoko and the society would hate her, as she believed that her actions were completely right. As a result of the trauma, Kotoko ended up developing a breakdown trigger to the word "gentle", a euphemism the producers had used to describe their xxxx.

Kotoko wanted to be a normal child. She didn't want to "sparkle", but she endured it all and didn't complain for the sake of her mother, because making her mother cry would've hurt Kotoko the most. Kotoko's father, on the other hand, used the money they gained for his own benefit, was cheating on his wife with his dental hygienist and overall didn't seem to care about his family at all. Kotoko was also part of Hope's Peak Elementary School and she was put on the class of troublemakers along with Monaca Towa, Nagisa Shingetsu, Jataro Kemuri and Masaru Daimon.

Due to her trauma caused by sexual abuse, Kotoko triggers to the word "gentle", as the men who abused her had said they would be "gentle". When she hears this word, she becomes neurotic, and begins crying and screaming in fear, unable to calm herself down except when somebody tells her that they will not be gentle with her.

Although Kotoko was on the verge of committing suicide along with the others, Junko Enoshima appeared and convinced the children that the adults were wrong and that they should create a paradise for children. Shortly afterward, she murdered her parents. She tells Komaru that she does not regret it, and that they should have died many more times for what they did to her or allowed to happen to her. Kotoko was nearly executed by Monokuma Kids in chapter 3, after she lost her fight against Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa, but she was rescued by Genocide Jack. She survived the riots with the other Warriors of Hope's members at the end of the game.

Monaca: "Oh, come on! Kotoko! That’s dirty!"

Nagisa: "You two what are you doing?!"

Monaca: "Ah, it’s Shingetsu!"

Barging into to the room now was the blue haired and well dressed member and sole remaining male of the Warriors of Hope, Nagisa Shingetsu. He was busy with the Warriors of Hope's preparations for turning Towa City into their paradise for kids, yet seeing his comrades not working he came rushing in upset.

Nagisa: "This isn’t the time to be playing around! I told you we have a lot of work to do here!"

Kotoko: "Oh my, could it be that Nagisa is jealous of us?"

Nagisa: "W-What are you saying? Why must I be jealous of..."

Kotoko: "It’s not like I’m jealous of "you". Is that how you want to explain yourself?"

Nagisa: "Like I said that’s not it at all!"

Monaca: "Hey, hey. What do you mean by, "jealous"?"

Kotoko: "Kyaa, you’re so innocent and cute, Monaca-chan. I want to just put sweet whipped cream on you and eat you up."

Monaca: "Ahaha, I don’t get it! Hey, more importantly, what’s happened to make you busy?"

Nagisa: "Ah, yes, I received a message from the Monokuma Kids I sent on reconnaissance just now that small group Demons were transmitting from Towa Tower after they defeated Jataro."

Kotoko: Could it be they're contacting the Demon’s secret base, Future Foundation? If so, this is serious. What if they've finally decided to move in on the city?"

Nagisa: "No, it’s not an issue. I immediately strengthened the jamming waves and scrambled their transmission. Anyways, we have a hostage, so Future Foundation won’t make a move. In fact I thought of a good plan. A plan to use those Demons running around to wipe out the other free-roaming Demons in hiding."

Kotoko: "You mean the Resistance?"

Nagisa: "Yes. As long as they’re around, we can’t complete our paradise. This is our golden chance to purify the city in one move."

Monaca: "Amazing, amazing! I don’t really get it, but amazing! Nagisa! That’s quite an achievement!"

There Monaca rolled over her wheelchair and hugged Nagisa. Nagisa had a crush on her, so he turned bright red with embarrassment and didn't no what to do being so young.

Nagisa: "Monaca... hey!"

Monaca: "Hm? What’s wrong?"

Nagisa: "N-Nothing, but y-you’re... a bit too close."

Monaca: "Ahaha, you get embarrassed easily Nagisa, but if that plan of yours succeeds we’ll really be able to finally complete our paradise. When we do, the “Warriors of Hope” will level up to Saviors of Hope! Hm, as expected of our new leader. I’ll be counting on you and continue to have "high expectations" of you."

Monaca praised Nagisa while also using his key word, "High Expectations". It was the opposite of Kotoko's "Gentle" which inspired fear within her and relapsed back to her trauma, but all the same it was a word closely related to his own trauma. His parents the source of his Despair continued to say they had "High Expectations" of Nagisa and now feared that those around him would no longer expect things from him, so for Monaca to say she had expectations for him, Nagisa grew excited and resolved himself to not let Monaca, the girl that he also had a crush on down.

Nagisa: "Y-Yeah, you're right.... Please have high expectations for me! I won't let you down."

Monaca: "Hm, good! Hey, did you hear that? We’ll be able to complete our peaceful paradise where children can smile forever soon. Hey, you heard, right? Kurokuma? Oh, right... you can talk now."

As Monaca called out to this individual all three members of the Warriors of Hope turned their heads towards a far wall of the room. On that side of the wall was a grand chair that wouldn't be found odd to find in a throne room of a castle and sitting on this chair was a Monokuma Robot. Not the regular white one side and black the other side, but black on one side and dark grey on the other instead of white, and also has a red slash for a left eye, and an evil, stretched grin. On this Monokuma's head was a dark grey fedora hat with a white feather sticking out of it. In addition it had a eyepatch, tie, gold teeth, a cigar and other accessories that stood out. This strange Monokuma had stayed silent and motionless for a long time as dust had covered the surface of its body, yet not given the okay to speak up it began to stir into life with moment and spoke up.

Kurokuma: "...Whew, I can finally talk! Finally! WRYYYYY–!! This is the greatest high–"

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

A few hours later.

Kurokuma: "So... Jimi Hendrix came to my live show! Three times, even! Well, that was in my dreams, though! Say, did you think I was still talking? That’s right, you bet I’m still talking! By the way, when is that meat banquet in the hellish pond of blood starting? It’s going to be the event of the century! I’m going even if you pawn my wife! Yahoo–! Hooray for massacre!! Ma-ssa-cre! 3-7-5-6-4! Hoo! What a wonderful phrase! It’s a magic phrase blessed by the gods! It sounds as great as Nakatomi no Kamatari; I can’t stop this swelling in my chest! Gyaaahahahaha–! So, about Jimi Hendrix-"

The surrounding Warriors of Hope had fed up looks on their face as they listened to this annoying Monokuma ramble on and on about pointless things for hours on end. This Monokuma that they had kept silent for good reason was named Kurokuma. Kurokuma is a character featured in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. Kurokuma is an all black version of Monokuma. He is the advisor of the Warriors of Hope. He specializes in Machine Gun Talk. Kurokuma has a gangster-like, obscene personality. He swears often and has impatient, immature nature. He is very immoral and has a rather dark, vulgar sense of humor. Some of his jokes are references and more clever, while others are simply immature or just bizarre.

He is incredibly noisy and he loves to talk, to the point that all the other characters find him very annoying. He can speak extremely fast and sometimes it's even impossible to understand him. He claims that talking is his whole purpose in life and he would die if he stayed silent for too long. He is very arrogant and self-centered, and is the only one who finds himself even remotely funny. He believes he's a very talented rapper and entertainer, which is obviously not the case. His thought process often leads to tangents about his "dream life", such as having legions of fans and being so famous that Jimi Hendrix attends his concerts.

He is also very brash and disrespectful, even towards people he just met. He isn't above cheap insults or provoking. He appears to enjoy annoying Nagisa Shingetsu the most, most likely because of the boy's strict personality. He makes fun of the Servant by implying that he's homosexual in a mocking fashion and he calls Toko Fukawa "emo-chick" and insults her simply for having glasses. He is also quite perverted and disrespectful towards pretty girls. He doesn't seem to have any respect for anyone, with Monaca Towa possibly being the only exception, as he seems to feel some admiration and pride for her evil nature. Kurokuma can be put in the "silent mode" by order, and the Warriors of Hope prefer him to stay that way. Only Monaca seems to have the power to do this.

It is revealed at the very end of the game, that Kurokuma as well as Shirokuma are actually the AI of Junko Enoshima. As part of the AI, he seems to represents the haughty and aggressive personalities. In the epilogue, it is revealed that both Kurokuma and Shirokuma are part of the AI Junko putting adults and children against each other in their agenda to spread despair. Both robots are then destroyed by Izuru to salvage their hard-drives for their AI for the sake of the future School Trip of Mutual Killing.

Nagisa: "Hey, how long are you going to keep talking?"

Kurokuma: "Don’t stop me! I’ll kill you! My fans will kill you dead! Or should I make you love me?! You won’t see me helping an old lady stuck at a pedestrian crossing! Goddamn, this bastard must be an OB to get in the way of my witty talk! An otherworldly (O) buffoon (B), that is! Gyaaahahaha!"

Monaca: "...Never mind. You should be quiet after all."

Kurokuma: "........."

Monaca: "Hmm, I thought we should consult him once in a while, but that was a mistake."

Nagisa: "Yeah. Even if he’s a our Advisor, spreading this level of noise every single time is... unbearable to say the least."

Kotoko: "We already have tons of great ideas on how to hurt adults, so maybe it’s about time we... dispose of him."

Monaca: But he’s still an ally of ours and we've lost so many of our friends already, and... he’s kinda okay as long as he’s in Silent Mode like this, you know?"

Kurokuma: "..."

Kotoko: "Ufufu, Monaca is so kind. If that’s the case, I have no objections!"

Nagisa: "If Monaca is okay... then I'm okay with it."

Monaca: "More importantly tell us your plan Nagisa. How are you going to annihilate the Resistance?"

Nagisa: "It’s a simple matter really. We’ll strike their secret base.

Kotoko: "Eh? You know where their secret base is?"

Nagisa: "Yes, and if we attack their secret base, which they think is safe, they’ll panic and come to the surface. Like Ants that have lost their nest, they have no choice but to wander above ground until the next one is built that’s our chance to crush every last one of the Demons. If we do that, the resistance will be no more!"

Kotoko: "Kyaaa! Nagisa is so vicious! I’d be peeing myself if we weren’t allies!"

Nagisa: "Naturally. We have the right to kill Demons. They did this to us."

Monaca: "Mmhm, it’s a right. As expected of the new leader; you said something good... But, instead of right to kill them... isn't it more like it's our duty to do so? We Warrior of Hope made a promise to big sis Junko that we would annihilate all the Demons, didn’t we?"

Kotoko: "Whew whew! Nagisa and Monaca are both so vicious and cool! I can’t lose, though! I’ll have to do my best to hunt, hunt and hunt Demons as well!"

Nagisa: "Yes, but we must be careful. That one Demon's allies are far more powerful than we expected. The Intel from *that man in black* wasn't as off as we originally thought when he told us to use our full forces to deal with them. Tch, I can't see him as a normal Demon, but he should have been more... Anyways, we can't underestimate the Demons who defeated both Masaru and Jataro. Along with the Monokuma I'll send out Sniper Monokuma. If it him... we don't have to worry about any adults escaping alive!"

Kotoko: "Wait! I see what your doing. You want to go all out to impress Monaca, don't you? Ufufu, I see right through you and I won't let you have all the glory. I'll send the beautiful and firecracker warrior of the katana, Samurai Monokuma as well! She'll definitely kill more Demons than your Sniper Monokuma!"

Nagisa: "This isn't the time to be playing around!"

Monaca: "Ufufu, we have less allies now, but we’re still fired up, right? Doesn’t everyone think so?"

Kurokuma: "Aah, goddamn! I agree so much that I could just head-bang! Man, you guys have grown, to be able to think up this nice plan without me as your “counselor”... hold up! You won’t be happy if I say you’ve “grown”, seeing as you guys don’t want to become adults! It’s like praising a ninja by saying “you sure stand out”! Hoo–! Dangerous, dangerous!"

Having accidentally allowed Kurokuma to speak by Monaca saying "Everyone", he continued his meaningless rampage of words. Seeing this... Monaca, Kotoko, and Nagisa could only sigh.

Shin: "..."

Komaru: "..."

Drake: "..."

Sachi: "...Wow. Can this even be called a coincidence, our harem king leader."

Shin: "..."

During Team Japan's return trip back to the Secret Resistance Base hidden within Towa Sewers the group stumbled upon a book lying near the cemetery entrance to the sewers. Normally they would have passed it without a second thought, but it's eye catching title that was in large font drew their eyes. It was a book that didn't exist in the original game amount the many documents found within the game, yet it was from the same series as the original, "15 Ways to Make That Rich Son of a Noble Family Fall in Love with You!" that Toko Fukawa secret wanted to read.

Shin: ".........."

Komaru: "...Shin, do you need this?"

Shin: "Huh? O-Of course not! What a... stupid book and who needs it. Everything will turn out fine for my harem of heroines! There not overly jealous girls and they all get along just fine... even if their are times I feel a lack of respect, but no matter! My love will definitely reach them all!"

Komaru: "Really? Shin I definitely believe this is a important chapter. Chapter 1, How many women should you invite into your growing family without losing the respect of loved ones? When does desire turn into mindless greed and lust?"

Shin: "Ugh!"

Drake: "Shin, I admire you and all, but... Chapter 3, How to handle the minefield of jealousy and spot the green eyed monster before it stab you in the back like that one Anime girl who's name is synonymous with "The world". And then cut off your head and carry it around in a gym bag"

Shin: "Ughhh!!!"

Sachi: "This is kind of fun. Who knew mere words from a book could induce such pain. Let me try. Chapter 11, When all goes well at first and it's time to expand your family with children how do avoid bloody fights of succession rights? The first male? A smart and competent girl? The child of your youngest heroine? The child of your secret favorite heroine? Be careful! Even if you've gotten this far that knife is still pointed at your back!"

Shin: "................."

Komaru: "...So are you sure you don't want, no need this book?"

Shin: "I-I said I'll be fine. Don't worry about me. I won't fall so low that I need to read garbage like that."

Komaru: "Okay, if you say so..."

Shin: "...So who's the publisher by the way?"

Komaru: "..."

Shin: "Ah, don't get me wrong! It's not like I plan to look through the Entertainment Category of the Exchange System later. Not at all!"

Komaru "Hm? Exchange System? What's that?"

Shin: "...Ah!"

- PENALTY 2, SPOILER PER SENTENCE - DEDUCTED 10 POINTS!

Drake: "So he was that worried that he slipped up. Well, he's not going to care about such a small penalty. Still, great men really have great troubles, yet they never show it on the surface. He's younger than me, but I have much to learn from this man among man!"

Sachi: "That's your take on this? I just see a hopeless lost otaku harem bastard way over his head. Well, it's fun to watch all the same."

And like so after Shin got Komaru over the subject of the exchange system their group moved on and just before they entered the sewers a Monokuma Kid appeared and handed over to Komaru a new Kotodama (Word Bullets), the Paralyze Bullet.
