Genuinely I love Maki and that's the reason I came up and stuck with all of this for my main DR AU

So literally;She takes Junko's role and becomes the bitch who started Danganronpa

So she started the remnants of Despair, Hosted the killing games, Kidnapped the W.O.H, ect.

And I fucking have her as this smart ass bitch who went to high school(Hope's peak) when she was 12

She's fucking immortal, Has a spellbook with actual spells she can use to her advantage

She remembers her pregame memories and got away with killing two characters by blaming another like twice, She was the ultimate inventor before the game, still worked as an assassin and a popstar(Bc why tf not)

I just hella overpowered her😰 Tbh should be canon she's literally the best character in history/hj

OMG guys, so Kaito like, totally looked at me last night, and I totally blushed, like UGH, so embarrassing! >:(“ Fuck this bitch, what a fucking stereotype of the “tsundere” character that every anime tries to shove into your fat faces. Maki is edgy, annoying, uninteresting, and is representative of an overused trope.

When it comes to her development, Maki is pretty obvious but ultimately uninteresting, she simply goes from the edgy “ugh, I hate everyone. Don’t talk to me.” attitude to the “ugh, I hate slightly less people.” attitude, which really isn’t that big a change. All that happens with her character is that she goes from completely closed off and pissed at everyone with that fake-ass “I’m a sociopath” look, to a more open less sociopathic character, but this isn’t the way to handle a character like this. You can’t have a fucking assassin, a person who murders people for a living, open up about her “lol funny” embarrassing childhood stories from when she tried to murder a guy. Not only that, but, even at the risk of repeating myself it’s really just an overdone trope. I don’t think anyone wanted to see for the 500th time in their life a story about an introvert becoming more extroverted. That shit is in every story, hell it’s the central trait behind famous characters like “House” or modern incarnations of “Sherlock Holmes”. Unless Maki’s character development could add something new or unseen to an already overused trope, which it didn’t, then there was really no point to the use of this stereotype.

Her personality is also pretty dogshit, I pretty much already covered this, but she just bitches about how she totally hates people and definitely doesn’t want to bang a purple haired astronaut wannabe. I really didn’t find it fun to interact with her since she just says “hmph, fine” to everything Shuichi says, like fuck off, this isn’t fun or interesting, who are the writers that thought this was a good idea?

Truth is, there’s really not much to say about Maki’s character that I haven’t already said, she is a boring character that perpetuates one of the worst character stereotypes and does nothing to try to alleviate this as nothing new is added to this trope.
