Wow that thing is huge! I mean, we did say that Nozomi probably had the biggest range of fates aside from Takumi, but we still didn't do Takumi yet at that point, so here it is!

Anyway, for that special list, I'm not gonna start from top to bottom, nor bottom to top for that matter. You should see a Yellow "Reference" tier in the middle, let's start here and I'll explain that list from there.

>Reference

So this is the first ending from First Scenario, the one ending that isn't really one for Takumi because he "dodged" it and went back in time to make a new one. I used this as a reference to create that list. Basically, if I think that the time travel was worth it (for Takumi obviously, nothing can be perfect for everyone) then the ending will go in the upper tiers above the reference. If I think thing went worse, it'll go in the lower tiers. The worst it gets, the lower it'll be placed, the better it gets, the higher it'll be placed.

Now here's the thing, we don't actually know what happens exactly at the end of Route 0 lol. So it's hard to tell if an ending is actually better or not than the first outcome. Which is why, instead of considering R0's ending as a specific situation, we'll have to go with a range: at best, everyone survives (for those still alive duh), but the story isn't finished, they still have some fighting ahead of them, at worst everyone dies lol. As I said it's just a range, the reality can be something in between, again we don't know what really happens exactly after that ending. One thing we know no matter what tho is that Takumi is depressed over Nozomi's death and isn't interested in going back to the satellite because and I quote "The person I cared about isn't waiting for me there anyway. I have no reason to go." This is his tier list after all, so gotta take that into account.
Anyway, all that just to say that for some endings we can't really say for sure if it was better or worse than the original and we can only guess "this is probably better/worse".

From now on, let's deep into the lower tiers, the endings that I think didn't made the time travel worth it, starting from the Reference tier and then going lower and lower. I'm gonna do the same for the upper tiers after.

>Unknown

Those endings don't really let us see how it really ends, hence the unknown tier, but they definitely aren't looking good.

>Yeah things did not get better than the first time lol

In 007 Takumi basically recreated his first ending but with another girl lol, killing most of his friends along the way, talk about a worth it time travel. 034 has way more victims than 000 including Nozomi so definitely not worth it. And about the Together Forever ending, idk man, I don't think I would want to live with Eito's freaking head for the rest of my life, just kill me atp.

>rip but at least his friends live

Now we enter the death tiers. Obviously if Takumi dies that can't be a better ending than 000 lol, no matter what happened in it. This tier has the two endings where I think that despite Takumi dying at least the situation isn't too bad.

>rip

Sad endings. Those deaths are above the others because they pretty much are the result of Takumi's own decision every time and he gets a last moment in these. Still failures obviously.

>That SUCKS

These are the worst kind of endings where Takumi is still alive lol.

>Conspiracy

Conspiracy gets its own tier because idk, it must be so miserable to end up like this after everything.

>Yeah that didn't go well at ALL

It's not just about Takumi dying here, it's about EVERYONE dying. That's the biggest failure you can get after the time travel. Oh and also, Nozomi rejecting him in Comedy is down there because that's a fate equivalent if not worse than death. Gotta love how the entirety of Slasher and Mystery minus 100 are here lol. Btw I know that I've put KG's early endings in here but honestly Takumi died so hilariously fast after his time travel in those endings that I just have to put them down there, especially given the situation with his friends.

>WHAT IS THIS THE CIRCUS?!

Definitely Takumi's worse departure. He was just a smart guy surrounded by a bunch of clowns, may his soul rest in peace 😔.

>Rather fucking die

On a more serious note, 042 has to be without the shadow of a doubt Takumi's worse fate in the entire game lol. If you're searching for something worse than death itself just go 042. Can't make the time travel less worth than that.... or can we?

>EVERYTHING JUST FOR THAT

OBVIOUSLY GAKU'S HAREM IS THE WORST WAY TO END JFBDHJEFHJR

Anyway, let's go on the upper tiers, starting from the reference.

>I guess???

Okay so these are obviously not good endings and I think that we can argue for each of them that they should go on the lower tiers, but from Takumi's own and exclusive perspective, I guess he is happier here than at the end of R0?

>Unknown

The same tier as the one in the lower part, can't say for sure, but it probably looks better than the initial ending.

>Ambiguous

A tier pretty usual in that series, self explanatory.

>I swear it was still worth it!

This is the one and only death out of the entire game that I can put above the reference. And I don't feel like elaborating. Nyeh.

>It really depends on what's next, could be ranked higher or lower

This is literally it. Assuming that in 055 the SDU gets a warm welcome, get completely cut from the war for some reason, and are offered happy lives ever after, that would be easily the top 1 spot on that list. Now obviously I don't think this is going to happen, but at the same time, I don't expect them to get killed instantly either. I would expect something in the middle, like the story isn't finished yet and they have some serious hard work and trials still ahead of them. In any case, the lack of information about the ending prevents it from getting a proper tier. I just don't know. The same goes for the KG one except that it would obviously not be top1 spot even if best case scenario because of all the deaths. I would say that 055 has the biggest range out there on that list, from top1 spot at best case scenario to lower tiers in a worst case scenario, with a realistic outcome pretty much anywhere in-between, and yeah I know I could have just put these two in unknown but they are so major that I just had to give them their own tier lol.

>Not so happy good endings

These endings are on the upper tiers because they definitely made the time travel worth it imo, Takumi managed to save Nozomi and most of his friends in 002, made peace in 006 and learned the truth about Nozomi, also killing her out of her own will which is greatly different from the brutal 000, he got all of his friends alive except one in 050, and 080 is a Comedy ending which, you know, are pretty great for the SDU. Now here's the thing, none of them are truly happy, especially for Takumi. 002 has him losing his memories so it barely counts as "him" anymore and he did a genocide he didn't want to anyway so even with his memories he wouldn't recover from that, he literally lost Nozomi again in 006, the entire point of the last decision being world's peace or Takumi's own happiness, can't have both, things did not end well with Darumi in 050, and honestly I might or might not just kill myself in his position in 080 lol. They are still good endings that made the time travel worth it tho and Takumi do have a life ahead of him that isn't pure chaos and agony like some of the lower endings!

>Good endings

The base normal tier for good endings. They're not higher because they lack of Happy Takumi specifically effect considering this is his tier list, but yeah, we're good here. I think anyway, ngl I kinda forgot most of BOB endings so I just put them all here assuming it's okay lol.

>...

I GUESS I have to put that one up there as much as I HATE it. This is a Takumi tier list after all. Fuck 008-Takumi still I don't like you.

>Happy :3

Yeah you know what, let's just not ask anything and just do like everyone in the ending, just smiling.

>Nozomi Sumino said it's up there

I guess this is similar to 008 in a way, like, in both cases- NO IT'S NOT! While yes Takumi does prioritize his girl and own happiness over the fate of the world, at least here he doesn't plainly betray his friend and it's not like he purposefully choose for the war to go on either, there's still moral here! Also more friends alive, better living conditions, canonically opened a school with Nozomi, yeah this is definitely a top tier ending on this list and I don't want it to be compared with 008! Honestly I'm a bit mad at Rebellion for being such a rushed Route because I do think that there's a lot to explore in both endings but as they are they're just meh, but anyway that's a story for another time.

>Duh

Cry about it Gaku haters, this is objectively one of Takumi's best endings.

>Yes

COT haters you can also cry about it but 041 is a top tier too on that list.

>So close to perfection

Most of Takumi's friends are still alive here, all of the biggest threats are gone, Nozomi is very well alive and in love with him, I don't think I can put this any tier lower. Still not perfect because some people still died, but nothing's perfect in this world anyway. I don't know if we can realistically expect better than this. The only endings with everyone alive are either 055 which is subject to debates and the endings in the tiers above, literally from a "non-serious" Route.

>Almost perfect

>Perfect

Romance is unironically the best you can get lol. Everyone alive, and you get to come out with a girl? How can you do better than that? The difference between the two tiers is the little uncertainty about the future between endings where Takumi accepted the feelings of one of the girls and the ones where they are still gonna date before a conclusion. In any case that's the top of that list.

Hopefully one day we get DLCs and that tier list will become twice as big with even more sadistic and messed up low endings and even better top tiers. My money is on Ending 142, trust me, it'll be the opposite of the OG 42 and this one will be the most wonderful one of the entire game! (cope)

That's it, that's the post. I want to see her more often in more Routes. I want to give her >!an happy ending with Eva.!<Give some love to Kamyuhn!

You can add the titles if you want lol

There is no particular order regarding the chapters in this tier list.

One thing I always loved in the Danganronpa games was trying to figure out each chapter where the next murder would take place, and which room(s) might be related to it. So let's do it with LDA, imagining it being where a Danganronpa killing game would take place. This is my take, from bottom to top:

>Never related to anything

These are either rooms we go in often but nothing ever happens in it (the cafeteria, the corridors, the rec room for the gifts), or just plain filler rooms like the classrooms or the training room (I put this one here because I find it very forgettable in the original game lol, I can't remember a damn thing that happened there). Yes the cafeteria might be a bold claim, but unless 2x2 breaks the trend this always have been a safe place in the Danganronpa games lol.

>Plot related rooms, no link to murders

Whether they are locked rooms that get unlocked late, or secret ones you access in the middle of the game, these are the places I think would have a great importance in the overall story, and could even be part of the final investigation, but that would never have anything to do with the murders in the normal chapters.

>Play a role in the investigations

The garage, the metal shop, and the bio lab are all rooms that could easily give us truth bullets lol, they are just the perfect places the blackened and/or the victims could have gone to in order to find and use things related to the murder. For the student rooms, there's always at least one investigation where we go visit the room of the victim to find some clues. And I don't know, I feel like the bathrooms could easily be used to hide things, or for that very suspicious and conveniently placed window.
Now I know that the rec room could also be used by blackened to craft things with the gift-0-matic, similarly to the market in SDR2, but I only put in that tier rooms in which we would find clues during the investigation.

>Bodies would be discovered in these

A BODY HAS BEEN DISCOVERED! Honestly, I don't have a lot of arguments lol, it's just based on vibes, the rooms I'm seeing the most having the biggest time of the investigation in, with multiple people to talk to, before going to more specific locations. They all have potential for various elaborates murder plans to happen in them. The courtyard even has one happening in the canon HL.
I think the most interesting one imo would be the infirmary. I think that would be a late game room, like around chapter 4, locked before then. Obviously the Revive-0-matic wouldn't be active in a Danganronpa Route, HOWEVER, if the mastermind plays a little with the settings, we could get somehow something that would be used as a motive out of the Revive-0-matic. A body discovery here would be one of the perfect "okay what the hell happened here" body discovery, I think.
The leisure louange is amazing, would be a shame to not kill someone in it.
And yes, I also know we never really got a body discovery outside, but wouldn't LDA be the perfect place for one? Like on the tennis court or something.

What do you think? :)

If common blades have no fans, that means I'm dead

The fact it went like this will never not be funny to me

It's been so long since the last one that some might don't even know this is the 8th (I think?) part of this lol.

So, Eito.... where do I even begin with this one. To be honest I didn't even know how to rank the endings with him at first lol, he is such a wild card. But I decided to go like this: any Route/Ending where Eito is our ally gets to go on the upper part of the tier list as a standalone ranking and then the rest is Eito as a villain. I think that's what works best.

>001

I know I'm usually supposed to put endings where the character actually survives at the top, but sometimes I just can't when the character's writing is far better than what we get with them alive. Think about 072 being high for Hiruko despite being a bad ending for example, yeah something similar to this. Second Scenario is in my opinion the best we get of Eito as a character, there's no way I'm not putting it on top even tho he dies.

>GE

Same reasoning as 2S, character writing preferred as character fate for that one. It doesn't get the same tier as 001 simply because it's sadder so fate does play a role here lol, unlike 001 Eito doesn't get to fight alongside Takumi at the end.

>Reset

The closest we get to Eito's happy ending I guess.

>Rebellion

I won't beat around the bush, if Rebellion was a better Route, and if the plot actually did something with Eito here, that would be the top tier. Unfortunately Rebellion feels so pale next to Second Scenario, especially for Eito. I can barely consider putting the endings here above 2S even tho he survives. He is just there. Like, I guess bro. Still high ranking obviously lol, that's the best we can get for an alive ally Eito with memories.

>?

I'm putting 007 from Eva Route here because this is basically Rebellion but with less people, less information, and even less plot with Eito even tho at the end of the day he is alive and fighting with us for some reason lol. God I need the LDA-Eito pov of that Route lol, especially after his discussion with Nozomi.

>Genuinely not bad

Some 041 glaze? That'll make someone happy. Eito is "brainwashed" in this Route because of the drugs but so are the next two with actual brainwashing. The ending automatically loses points because of the brainwashing but aside from that what's actually wrong in this one for an ending with Eito as an ally lol.

>??

Aside from the fact he is brainwashed, why is no one adressing the fact that Eito in Mystery is supposed to be dead as a traitor, killed by Takumi, and now he is just chilling there lmao. I guess they talked off-screen but this is still hilarious.

>SF

I think 055 might be the worst Eito ending as an ally. Not only is he brainwashed, but the ending itself is subject to debates about what will happen on the satellite. Not a great combo.

>Won over Takumi

Now we are entering villain Eito territory. This tier is self explanatory, they're Eito's victory in ME.

>Eito inducing bad ends

The bad endings that are Eito's fault. That does include the other two from ME simply because they don't have the same taste as 009/011 in term of Eito winning.

>BOB and KG bad ends

Exactly the same tier as above except that BOB doesn't deserve to be on the same tier as the others lol, free bob slander (and the KG endings that are at the fault of the second sponsor don't have that same personal feeling as the ones from ME or COA).
Also I usually use the version of the character present on Day 1 of the Route when ranking an ending involving parallel leaping (for example ending 059 here refers to the Eito on the ending 100 CG), but BOC-Eito is an exception. It's just impossible to do it that way with him. He'll be considered "unknown" while KG-Eito's ranking will be the KG one before the second sponsor arrival and the BOC one after.

>Bad end for Eito

And now it's time for the bad part of the lower part! I love how all of them are from BOB, and aside from us winning over him we don't even know what's next for Eito lol.

>???

The reasons are different for each but I genuinely don't know what to think about those three.

>Rip Bozo

Dead.

>lol

That's Eito's worst iconic defeat lmao.

>Unknown

>So ugly...

That tier is hilarious to me because in the Romance ending (also, assuming all endings ends the same way here, as always), he is just being forgotten in the weird room on Day 100 lmao. He doesn't appear in the schoolyard with everyone else.

I'm sorry if the Eito tier list is a bit of a letdown, I struggle a bit with him haha. Don't hesitate to say anything about any ending if you want! Good night :)

Because why not. I do remember someone wondering what it'd look like if it matched her original colors instead of green (that I still like) and I started wondering too.

"give DLC to that guy already"

A body has been discovered!
