HERE WE GO

5. Nagito Komaeda (Danganronpa 2)
Nominated by Zyxyz
I love everyone here. That's why I want to be of good use to them. I love all of the Ultimates...and I admire them for being symbols of hope. That's right... In the name of hope, I love everyone's talents from the bottom of my heart. That's why... I don't want them to lose against something like killing. I want them to prove to me that hope will never lose, no matter how daunting the despair they face may seem. I want everyone to prove to me that "hope will never lose to despair"! See, isn't it typical that if you face a strong enemy, you will become even stronger yourself...? Which means...the stronger the despair you face, the stronger everyone's hope will become, right? I...want to see that brightness. And in order to see it, I'm going to become everybody's stepping stone. I want to make your hopes shine... It's as simple as that...

Nagito is a very peculiar type of character: He is a character that could only exist in fiction. Most characters we like, from all kinds of media, share human traits and act in ways we recognize. Nagito, however, is purely driven by one thing in a way no real person could ever be. His entire fictional existence revolves around his obsession with hope. All his non-brainwashed actions are fueled by it. Its not a bad thing I found it fascinating its just a unique facet of his character.

So Nagito is the Ultimate Lucky Student. Unlike Makoto from the first game, Nagito actually has some sort of luck power, enabling him to navigate crises in his life. Unfortunately, luck is like a pendulum, and bad luck always seems to come in large proportions as well.

Nagito at first appears to be Hajimes trusted companion, willing to help the Ultimates manage the Killing Game, because the Ultimates are symbols of humanitys hope. This turns into a perversion of those ideals, as Nagito facilitates murders so Hajime and his friends can solve them and become stronger, culminating in his own gruesome murder. Nagito retains his cordial personality all throughout...until he finds out the Ulimates are actually the opposite of symbols of hope they failed and became Junkos slaves.

I asked for interesting characters, and Nagitos about as interesting as they come. So thanks!
