Student Spotlight #12
Osamu Yamane, Ultimate Orator
“Ya gotta believe in yourself more, Kyou! Everybody here is a budding speaker, and if anyone judges you for your mistakes, I’ll make ‘em hear it personally!”
“C’mon, wear that smile! I know you’re beating yourself up over your sis, but I’m sure that her seeing you smile would be the best thing she could ever ask for. As a big bro, I guarantee it!”
Despite his brash, rough exterior, Osamu comes from a background of wealth and power in the Yamane family, with many of his family members occupying political positions in local and occasionally national governments. He’s built up his name with his wide range of delivery styles to match occasions, making tours delivering speeches in support of his relatives and various other issues, being able to be eloquent and refined, but also able to be brash and passionate in order to get across to his audience.
I probably know too much about him.
Ultimate Yapper just dropped.

i ship them already

Aika Fujiwara, Ultimate Fortune Teller
“Behold, mortals! You are in the presence of Aika Fujiwara, the All-Seeing, the Sunset’s Shadow, the Keeper of the Immortal Third Eye, et cetera, et cetera.”
“Ah, the Third Eye detects you might desire some company! What? No, I’m not lonely or anything… I mean! The Imprisoned One requires no companions!”
Certainly one of the lesser known Ultimates of this year’s class, Aika is a streetside western-style fortune teller with a habit of train-hopping around the country. Hailing from a smaller town, many of the old people around her home area regard her warmly. Given what I could find on her school records, she’s lucky to get into a university at all. That said, “fortune telling” is a blatant scam, in case that wasn’t obvious. The academy scouts sure have some taste in their Ultimate picks.
prediction: once the students find out there’s a mastermind aika kills her red herring like an idiot
chuunibyou moment
dont show kyouka the sliding scale of increasingly questionable talents (based on how much they make her seethe with anger /hj)
in this situation, the /hj tag means something like “i made this in 5 minutes, do not use as theory crafting fodder assuming that i have put huge amounts of thought into hiding some deep meaning in it because there is no deep meaning and in the event that there are inconsistencies between this and canon this one is obviously the wrong one”
the disclaimer is obviously a preface for when the mastermind turns out to be the ultimate yaggababble with one of monowhatever’s dumb stock phrases
Monokuma chooses “ultraluminary”, then spends the entire chapter gassing up Over the Moon as being the greatest film ever made.
i ship osamu and kyouka so much already its unreal. the only other option for kyouka is aika, bc why else would u insult them that much. if there is not an implied romance between either of those 2 characters im rioting
This is going to be the source of the devastating penultimate case.

Michihiro Shimazu, Ultimate Cinematographer
“You should try to stress out Ranmaru a little less. She’s already getting white hairs! …Welp, tough crowd.”
“Frankly, I’ve always wanted to get kidnapped. What’s the point of being alive if you don’t live a little, y’know?”
Although his talent doesn’t lend itself to the public eye, Michihiro has done both main and backup work on multiple big-name films. He’s the sort of name that appears in the big credit rolls that everybody’s eyes glaze over for. He cultivated his interest in film from a young age, following the footsteps of his now late mother—by now, he has reached the level of fame that she had back in the day. Nobody really ever interviews him, but it’s a nice story to appeal to the public.
We need him to have a breakdown over the lighting in modern films for him to be a true Ultimate Cinematographer.
Student Spotlight #15
Hideki Takatsukasa, Ultimate Shogi Player
“I heard you, I simply made the educated decision not to respond because encouraging more of your inane talking would be a poor use of my limited time.”
“What? No, it’s not my fault that the dishwasher was produced by an idiot who doesn’t understand intuitive design. Just…”
Currently a 6-dan professional shogi player, Hideki is one of the youngest to gain that title. Becoming a professional player in his junior high years, he is widely regarded as one of the country’s up and coming prodigies. His impressive run and 2nd place finish in one of the greatest national tournaments this past year has cemented his reputation. On the public stage, he has the cold and composed demeanor and respect for his opponents befitting of a refined young man.
Now that we’re approaching the end, when’s the writing project itself going to drop?
as ive stated before, this project is purely fueled by adhd hyperfixation—as a result, i can make no promises about a drop date
however i can say confidently that it won’t be anytime soon. there’s still extremely far left to go and write and stuff
if i were to finish it the timescale that would be on would probably be like on the scale of years
that doesnt mean that there won’t be any new teasers between now and then though
