Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Only the first two out of the planned four novels of the Natsukawa Saga were ever released, but its unclear what exactly stopped them from being released even nowdays (Childish Darkness at the very least never gets rereleases because of how graphic the content in it gets, allegedly). 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Anyways shoutouts to Saburou making his self-insert/AU self into a cute girl after all the times in the novels where they say different incarnations of Saburou have "the soul of a woman" or are explicitly stated to be transfem. Surely there is no underlying implication here. 000
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 24/09/2026These are genuinely the same character but I would need 5000 words to start explaining why to anyone who is not familiar with my bullshit. 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Like this is what I imagine happened in-universe between them before the events of the game. 030
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Other, modern authors of shinhonkaku were planned to appear in drafts of Episode 7, in what I imagine would be Ryukishi's efforts in depicting some version of the changing landscape of mystery as a genre. But without their inclusion in the story, Willard stands as an unquestioned voice of reason. 110
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Ryukishi legit writes this in the same game where he makes an SS Van Dine soyjak who exists only to parrot his own opinions, who are the opposite of the real life Van Dine, who had been dead for years before he wrote Umineko. You cant make this shit up. 030
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 21/09/2026you do know some of the alchemist cops get official designs in the Higurashi Kizuna manga right 110
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 20/09/2026fun fact: when I read Lolita, I pictured Humbert as Roland from Ruina the whole time, because that was the most accurate way for me to envision him based on his self-description. 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 19/09/2026"Kumitantei takes place in the 80s" the 2010s egirl-fashion-themed character: 100
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Rika: "I'm out of that rural town! I'm going to go to the big city and become and make a name for myself!" Satoko: 031
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Like at least the blatant antisemitism is something you might only pick up on if you know about japanese conspiracy theories to spot all the times JJCAT is referenced in WTC. Ryukishi goes out of his way to start absolving Japan from the sino-japanese war any chance he gets its genuinely nuts. 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 06/09/2026We should make a habit of just posting Ryukishi writing and drawing a money-grubbing big-nosed jew from Israel as a random NPC whenever people start shilling his games because it genuinely gets to a point. 110
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 02/09/2026This has nothing to do with the rest of the plot of the book. The girl got her own book later and I half-wonder if a character from this book might have inspired Nagito's character. 110
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Further context: The correct translation would be "Jack the Stabber", which is a character from the novel Flicker Style: A Perfect Murder for Kimihiko Kagami. Satou Yuuya's first novel. 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 02/09/2026"Hi guys! We're doing a Danganronpa Another fandub and we need someone to play Tsurugi Kinjo! DMs are open!" 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Was made aware of this Kodaka tweet. I cant wait to see a modern day version of someone playing DR2 for the first time and going "who the FUCK is Izuru Kamukura" while DR0 readers in Japan heard the ominous bell tolling as they played the game. 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 28/08/2026You start telling people on how DR2X2's main villain might be Grok (real name Kazutaka Kodaka) and that the whole game is being made to capitalize on the AI discussion of the past few years and it will not make any sense without reading 3 volumes of infohazard. 100
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Writing a post about this. I shit you not that I think the theory that adds up the best is that this might actually be a canon Polaris P Polinsky design. She is the one who arrives last on the boat after everyone. 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 27/08/2026>hair is almost the same shade as Byakuya's >doing a similar pointing pose >extremely androgynous appearence >new character to the DR2 cast >new chapter is "Slayhem", promising way more deaths shit its Polaris its totally Polaris isn't it 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 21/08/2026voltmcvolt.blogspot.com/2026/08/ther... I couldn't stop thinking about this novel since yesterday, so here is my review of The Labyrinth House Murders, the third entry of the House Murders series by Yukito Ayatsuji. I hope one day I write a mystery half as good as this one. 095
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 20/08/2026the dykes had their turn... now its the time of the #faggots... 051
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Make sure you read his pre-Monster stuff too. Particularly Happy. It has an ojou-sama rival character who is genuinely the single most evil character he has ever written. Like, Johan Liebert wishes he left me as terrified as this teenage girl did. 000
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Genuinely might be the most ridiculous example I have seen of "these gamedevs really liked Elric of Melniboné and wanted to put him in their game" since Alucard in Symphony of the Night and thats only because they haven't literally given Dietrich swords from these novels like they did to Alucard. 011
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 13/07/2026how it feels to say Suzuhiko Ootsuki is my favorite Danganronpa character 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Twitter permanently restricted me for "Inauthentic Behavior" with no further elaboration. And that was the account that was getting coverage on my blog from actual industry people. Fuck me I guess. Might as well try to move here. 131
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Fanart of my chud daughter in 2026... I'm so happy... . . . Anyways wanna hit me on DMs so we can talk about the ending of Danganronpa Togami trust me I have read these books over 10 times so I feel confident in discussing the implications of the book and how they might tie into Danganronpa 2x2 and- 100
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 21/12/2025(This was like the perfect excuse to shill who I still argue is my favorite author of all time lmao. Highly recommend his work if you're looking for something that scratches the same itch as Ryukishi's writing but in a way more self-critical way. He's not for everyone but I always recommend him). 010
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Bottom line is that like, I have played a lot of his stuff (playing Higanbana with another friend but they're always busy so lmao) and in none of the stories of his I read I feel that he's intentionally trying to pull a rug under the audience with the final thesis. He is no Satou Yuuya. 110
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Like, when I got to the ending of Gerokasu (earlier this year also) and I saw so many of the same self-hating nihilistic remarks within Sayo used be presented as the completely separate story's natural conclusion, it kind of solidifed how I felt in how this is the way Ryukishi has always written. 130
Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 21/02/2025I think its hilarious Jojo fans can probably say that about the character on the right as I have seen on powerscaling threads unaware that the (seemingly) unnamed girl on the left legit might be one of the most cracked characters in Maijo powerscaling discussion. 130

Volt McVolt @voltmcvolt.bsky.social · 26/09/202460 - Apocalypse Zero (1994 - 1996) Anyone can write good art but you need to become a special kind of author to write art that makes your reader want to rethink everything they consider to be good storytelling. Need a full anime for Harara to start a revolution in the LGBT community. 9/10 010
