29. Kirumi Tojo
Appears in: Danganronpa V3
Ultimate Identity: Maid
Endearing Character Trait: Also maid.

At the beginning of V3, I predicted that Kirumi would be one of the survivors. I thought for sure the game was giving us to her as an obvious red herring. Everyone expects that someone will just order Kirumi to kill someone else, and she would do it, because she's a maid. There's no way DR would be that obvious. What actually happens is a little like that, but with a healthy dose of crazy.

I liked Kirumi, even though I've never quite understood the maid fetish. In the first and second cases, she actually reminded me of Kyoko, gloves and all.

I don't particularly care for her murder plot. It's somehow both extremely simple and maddeningly complicated. I don't really understand why she felt the need to rig up a crazy ropeway just to try to pin the blame on Himiko's magic show.

What I really don't like is the "prime minister" twist. Unless this is Team Danganronpa making some pointed commentary about the Japanese government, which I suspect is the case, I don't get it. I think her character would have been just fine if it was just her former family or something giving her an order. Then again, she's just a fictional character in the world of Danganronpa, and thinking of it that way kind of makes the twist make more sense.

Her execution is probably my second favorite of the series.

Up next: I. Need. To. ****.
