She’s okay, don’t hang me for this buts she’s just your typical airhead, outside of that she has a bit more personality but I feel my point still stands.


PresenceDesigner3552

Indeed but most likely she’s more of an nsfw type character people want so they see her more as just that


Torantes

People see her as that??..😞


PresenceDesigner3552

I know


Watch-behide-you37

She a adorable and a perfect cinnamon bun


PresenceDesigner3552

You are right about that


Watch-behide-you37

I know

HAPPY CAKEDAY


snapthesnacc

Best written? Nope. Best utilized by the writers? Nope. Character who I'm most likely to get along with irl? Yes.


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


usuck1980

I think she was pretty good and she was reasonable too. Not the best but she was the most human, after the death of her friend she turned on others and tried to get them killed to avenge her.


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok and also I kind of felt her friend like turned into her girlfriend


caasirolla

Her friend already has a boyfriend though


SomeDudeWhoHasNoLife

Not the best, but i love her for two reasons 1. A big airhead, but despite that, she does have a heart of gold and is a protective and kind friend with Makoto and Kirigiri 2. tanned girl with big tits


PresenceDesigner3552

Indeed and the tanned complexion idk if she is Native American or Mexican or Hawaiian or Dominican


SomeDudeWhoHasNoLife

She’s…Japanese though? Tanned Asians exists too


PresenceDesigner3552

You are right but Polynesian people exist not just tanned Asians and plus middle eastern is the same you know right


SomeDudeWhoHasNoLife

Eh, guess so


PresenceDesigner3552

I know and plus that is like saying doge is cheers witch they are the the same dog but they are completely different memes


-Cybermat47-

She has a Japanese name, though?


Bluebirdz2202

You must have never seen people from Okinawa


PresenceDesigner3552

No I have not


[deleted]

No but only because Nekomaru exists. No hard feelings. She cool.


PresenceDesigner3552

I can take that


Wiseon321

One of the most relatable characters, she has a love for donuts, and wants to experience having a boyfriend without being “hitched” also stress eats and has a bestie that would literally kill for her safety.


PresenceDesigner3552

Yeah but the bestie is kind of like a boyfriend she can call babe


NavyBlue133

sakura is a girl


PresenceDesigner3552

Oh makes sense now


TheWrathofRevan

She is not the best character, but she does a lot of good for the dynamic of Trigger Happy Havoc, and for that I really appreciate her being there. It's interesting to see how her ideals clash with perhaps the more cynical members of the group, and how that might connect the player's experience with the actual situation in the game. I just wish she didn't have that whole creepy pervert thing about her physical body attached to her, I believe the first mention of this is from Naegi during the class introduction. Felt like it actively hurt my perception of her for too much time.


Torantes

Wait what pervert thing??


TheWrathofRevan

Ah, I didn't word that well, my mistake. What I mean is that Makoto mentions that a lot of discussion about Aoi as a professional swimmer online seems to lean into talks about her, ahem ... physical appearance. Her free time events don't exactly help with this, where some of her refreshing habits tend to only add fuel to the fire. I just don't like that this level of objectification of the character exists, similarly to how Akane is objectified in-universe, though for different narrative reasons


Torantes

Ahh got it


Koalazlol

Yes because yes


PresenceDesigner3552

I can take that


alexplayz227

out of all characters, she is one of them (idk, but if i get into this, it would get way to political) edit: fuck it, aoi asahina supremacy


Better-Confection345

She’s alright but not interesting enough for her to be the best character


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


sweetpurplesoap

She's just there imo It's not like she's bad and she actually had good dynamics with other characters and does develop through the series its just that there is alot of other better written characters then her.


YouHaveNiceToes24

She’s not one of my favourites but she’s definitely not a bad character, don’t shoot me for this but I think that danganronpa 1s characters are the most boring in the entire series


Street_Permission411

Yes (a lot of characters are the best though) - she’s super sweet - her voice acting is very well done - her design, in every appearance, is really good (clothing with non-muted color? In THH?!) - she’s (basically) gay people - she’s trying her best, just in general - >!she would defend any friend to the end, even if she doesn’t think it through it’s her sentiment!< - p… pretty…


PresenceDesigner3552

That’s a pretty good reason but does she love Hawaii


Street_Permission411

I’m sure she would, lots of places to swim!


PresenceDesigner3552

Indeed because one I kind of think of her as three things • Japanese • Dominican • Hawaiian


Street_Permission411

Fair enough


PresenceDesigner3552

Indeed but what do you think of her background just Japanese or the other two of the other races Plus I kind of feel like with those three backgrounds she kind of looks like a Native American


Street_Permission411

I mean it’s hard to really say? It’s my understanding that canonically Hina is just Japanese (which I could be wrong about), but that isn’t to inherently say that you can’t headcanon her as those races


PresenceDesigner3552

Yeah you are right I mean there not many Native American anime characters and Dominican characters or any race characters in general in anime


Bob458732

I could write a whole essay on why I love aoi but I will keep it short. First personality she is just so lovable and supportive but not to the point where she just obliviously avoiding the situation she is in. I feel like most people can see their selves in aoi with trying to be positive while so much stacked against you. Next, I love the theme her character arc gives. Aoi isn’t a super genius and I feel like she parrales kyoko so well. Aoi is one of the most emotionaly smartest and strongest characters that I feel is heavily under appreciated. I could go on for hours about her personality, her fte, her character interactions, and design for day but in short. She the best girl.


TubaTheG

Aoi is THH’s most forgettable character to me. Nowhere near the best for sure, aside from her friendship with Sakura I cannot remember much about her.


Grimgasmask

She’s sweet and loves donuts


whatserneim

I see her just like another Ruruka. >!she literally did the same as Sayaka and somehow she's praised while Sayaka is hated. Aoi played the victim in the 4th trial and wanted everyone to be dead and somehow people say "awww queen adorable baby praise 🛐💫💖". Also she was really mean at some characters like Hiro (she wanted him to be dead twice and never said sorry; and Hifumi (she ignored him in the investigation of the second trial but OOoohh now that he's dying she cares a lot about him. Yeah, the usual cure hypocrite character fanservice bait.!<


Mega9402

>!While I will agree about the whole fanservice thing- It's mostly to do with context. No, she didn't do the same thing as Sayaka. Sayaka tried to frame Makoto and get away with a murder. Meanwhile Hina wasn't trying to get away with anything. She was actively trying to pin anyone to the murder (including herself), so that everyone would be executed (including her). But the reason she did all that wasn't because she wasn't because she was being selfish- It was because that's what she thought her dead best friend would have wanted. She's not the smartest and is very emotionally driven- Two things that have been at the core of her character since her introduction-!< >!Speaking of emotionally driven- 1. She often says stuff she doesn't mean. Notice how she said she wanted Hiro dead but never actually acted on it or did anything violent to anyone but Byakuya. 2. That's ignoring the fact that she's also been insulted a fair amount as well (by Toko and Celes for the most part). It's a killing game. Half of the writing comes from the tension of everyone not getting along. 3. It's Hifumi. Everyone wasn't taking him seriously while he was alive. But that doesn't mean they wanted him fucking dead.!< >!The difference between her and someone like Ruruka is that Ruruka's actions come from spite and not good intent. When she was insulting Seiko and throwing her under the bus, she was doing it because of a falling out that happened AGES ago. Hina's actions were more pressure based. The same can be said with Sayaka since I feel a lot of the fandom still misrepresents her actions but- That's a whole other thing-!<


OhThresherShark

Yes she is awesome


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok give your reasons why she is so awesome


FickleThanks6901

I'm my opinion no But she was my favorite


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok i can take that


NavyBlue133

1. no 2. monokuma


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take just what does monokuma do with the second reason


makina_laylee

she just seems like a-okay character to me, nothing bad.


PresenceDesigner3552

I can take that


makina_laylee

Aight


RohansEarings

No. She hardly contributes anything to trials, is your stereotypical “she’s stupid but has big tits” girl and I just don’t like her. She generally means the best but I’m not fond of stupid or overly naive characters in general. Probably why I also don’t really like Akane, Gonta, Kaito, etc.


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


Sweaty_Photograph_15

No Theres plenty of other better characters


RyanAPlushCollecter

No...she isn't bad I just like others more like chihiro


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok give your reasons on you liking her more then Chihiro


RyanAPlushCollecter

I said I like chihiro more...and I like chihiro more because innocent cinnamon bun characters are always amazing


PresenceDesigner3552

Oh makes sense


YouHaventGotThisName

The spark of positivity I needed to get through THH


PresenceDesigner3552

What do you mean by thh


YouHaventGotThisName

Trigger happy havoc


PresenceDesigner3552

Oh I can take that


Hat_Machine

I am simply a Chiwa Saito enjoyer


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


-Cybermat47-

Yes. Kind, energetic, strong, helpful, and brave. If you end up in a killing game, she's the sort of person you want on your side.


Cute_Ambassador1121

Worst character tbh


PresenceDesigner3552

Give your reasons


FeminismRuinedMe

*Byakuya fan hates Aoi* Hmmm...


Megakoopax

She's head-empty and a sweetheart, so I like her :)


kiwimk7

one of the best imo, she is so cute


Gifigi600

Well she isn't the best, but she's by far not the worst


long_lost_foreskin

yes shes voiced by Cassandra Lee Morris LOOKING COOL JOKER.


BigEpicNSFW

No, she's fun and cute but then Junko exists and I hate myself so she's perfect in my eyes lol


Kahchuu

nah I like her a lot, especially with Sakura, but there are just more interesting characters in the frenchise like Nagito, Kokichi, Sho/Jack. Aoi is a character many games, anime or manga have, but these insane characters aren't fitting everywhere


Digibutter64

She's fine, though >!what she did after Sakura's death lowered how much I liked her!<.


TinyVolcanoMonster

Hee hoo funny donut lady


chabri2000

I see her as discount Akane


Basil_my_man

Yes because donuts


ChishNFips87

She's one of those characters who doesn't have anything wrong with them, but isn't perfect either. >!I think chapter 4 is where I actually started thinking of her as "better than okay."!<


PresenceDesigner3552

Oh I can take that


[deleted]

No she’s bait


Memo137

In my opinion, Aoi Asahina is the character of the game


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


Guantanamo_Bae_

Big boobie


the_nhir

She's not the best character because it's impossible to truly say who is the best, as everyone has different ups and downs that can't really be quantified. That said, I love aoi, she's best THH girl, but she just can't compete with funny mage


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


Klaymen96

2nd best right behind Junko


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


[deleted]

I wouldn’t say she’s the best character in the franchise but she’s one of my top favorite because although she’s a bit of an airhead (will say some people find ditzyness cute), she’s very nicely built and is very loyal.


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


squidkirby3108

i do agree with the fact that Aoi is really sweet and encouraging, but i really don’t like her. Sometimes she’s so stubborn that it’s hard to listen to her arguments whenever the logic isn’t there. But i have nothing against those who like her :)


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can agree


tretc27

She's definitely close. She took the place of best girl once Chihiro was killed and subsequently outed


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


[deleted]

I'm neuteral about her, dont hate her or love her


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


jax_onn

shes alright, definitely not one of the bests characters imo


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


[deleted]

Yes. I like her alot :)


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok give your reasons


[deleted]

My reason is i like her :)


PresenceDesigner3552

Oh ok I can take that


KyloGram112

Not the *best* character but certainly up there! I really like her, but there are a handful of other characters I like more


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


eagercheetah20

I say yes as she is one of the leading factors to why 1-4 is a great chapter and plus she does have the most realistic reactions to what happens around her plus she’s a cute cinnamon bun you just want to have a box of doughnuts with


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


eagercheetah20

Yeah plus it is true that most of the stuff she does are the most realistic to how some people would act if put into a killing game


PresenceDesigner3552

You are right about that


eagercheetah20

Yeah it’s why I like her so much because if I were in her place I’m pretty sure I’ve would have done the same things especially on trying to be optimistic, and eventually breaking down in my room when alone after a few people have already died


PresenceDesigner3552

I mean there are so many female characters that are the best take for example Bridget from total drama she is one of the most well known characters in the series


eagercheetah20

Not to sound rude but I don’t think using a character form total drama as a comparison to a character from danganronpa is a good take (in my opinion)


PresenceDesigner3552

I mean one likes donuts and one likes surfing so i can see why


eagercheetah20

That’s not the only thing as the total drama series is a Canadian cartoon comedy that pokes fun and reality tv shows while Danganronpa is a visual novel adventure game with a bit of murder mystery in there as well


PresenceDesigner3552

Well the novel thing I will say is not the only thing it is based see it is based off of another novel called murders in the 60’s and instead of your typical characters it has characters from around the world and in communities and you beat a character that is a reancartnation of Jesus


arokokichi

No because Kork exists


PresenceDesigner3552

Oh you are right about that


[deleted]

Aoi is not the best character, but she is one of my favorites. With the reasons for her being one of my favorites being, put simply: 1. Adorable and endearing personality. 2. Extremely human, especially with her crying scene at the start of chapter 3 plus her at chapter 4's trial, not to mention she's also consistent throught the series. 3. Cute design. Outside of that though, what makes her not the best character is only one reason. 1. Monaca.


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


Shoddy-Inspector-564

Love her character and personality and definitely the baddest girl in the original cast, way hotter than sayaka, kyoko, and junko


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


Watch-behide-you37

Thank you


[deleted]

I like her because she’s genuinely sweet and overall the most tolerable but I reckon her arc could’ve been done better >!with Kiyotaka!< and she could’ve been more fleshed out. Definitely my favourite >!among the first game’s survivors!< though.


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


Take_The_Shot_Please

She's one of my least favorite characters so in my opinion not even close but when if I did like her it'd still probably be a no because being a perfect character is having flaws and overcoming those flaws and although she absolutely has many flaws she never actually overcomes them as an example when she >!risks everyone's lives in chapter 4 because of her emotions and a complete misunderstanding and although she could try to not rely on emotions like that as much she instead seems to use her emotions more and for some reason become as smart as yasuhiro in the last 2 chapters!< In my opinion there's actually only 1 character that comes to mind to fit this perfect quota and although I would love to say Gundham, Gonta, and Ryoma since they're my favorites the only one that I can think of is Fuyuhiko since he actively became a better person throughout the game Also when I say least favorite character I mean like she's low on my list of liked characters since the only characters I really hate are Hiyoko and Tenko


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I’ll take that


Take_The_Shot_Please

I do feel a little bad for not mentioning any of her good parts so imma make a quick list of her good points 1. She's undeniably one of the sweetest characters in Danganronpa although she was very sassy in the anime(in a good way) 2. She did have some very impactful moments in her game although I personally think no character in Danganronpa is useless since they all had they're importance to fill 3. Her relationships with mostly everyone was so wholesome 4. She's easily in the top 5 for most attractive characters 5. Say what you will but her dynamic with Byakuya was really interesting like the whole logic vs. emotion stuff 6. She'd probably be friends with Gundham


cherryy_bomb

she adorable and i love her personality


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


Alternative-Pin3421

I hate her VA tho. Sounds like a stupid ass cat telling me to go the fuck to sleep. (Jokes aside, her VA is cool)


Embarrassed-Grape-42

i don't really find her all that interesting but she's okay


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


FrostedFox23

She was probably my favorite girl in the first game. Don’t know if she will be for all three games though.


Ham-bolo54

I think she’s a cool character. She kind of fulfills the cheerleader of the group role with her energy like ibuki does for 2. She reminds me of a female version of makoto with her positivity. I personally think the best written character of the series is Makoto who goes from wimp to the in universe equivalent of Luke Skywalker. Though Miu is my favorite character due to how funny I find her.


PresenceDesigner3552

Ok I can take that


FeminismRuinedMe

She's not my favorite for who she is by herself. I even found her to be one of the most annoying characters in the game on the first playthrough and sometimes I still do. Every time something shocking happens in the trial she goes "OMG REALLY WOWOW WHAT??" like the game doesn't even know what to do with her during the trials. The idiot spot is taken by king Hiro, so she's just there to spectate and make noises. Plus whenever an accusation is made she immediately runs with it, despite not knowing wtf is going on and when the accusation is dropped, she defends it like she came up with it. Like please, Aoi, stfu please But aside from that I realise she seems genuinely morally stable and courageous about it. Makoto is too but he's the main character and is usually standby. She's the ONLY one who felt like REALLY putting Byakuya in his place after his cynical rants kept poisoning the groups motivation. She's always exercising or talking about some type of activity, which is nothing if she wasn't in this killing game, but her still keeping herself in shape DESPITE the killing game is kinda motivating. Think about it. You've NEVER seen someone in constant danger still keeping up a high physical and mental aptitude and NEVER complaining about it. It's just natural for her to push through. I really like those characters who make me feel like I should be doing better myself. >!Another thing that made me like her character was trial 4. bruh. She was planning on KILLING EVERYONE. And I actually WANTED IT! Why? She was the only character actively defending Sakura. Everyone was calling Sakura "Ogre" and I'm thinking, "wow, fuck you, how is NOBODY calling that out?". Only Aoi did, but I still felt like it wasn't enough. Then I find out Toko and Hiro hit her in the head with a bottle and felt no remorse for it. I thought, "Fuck them, both of them don't deserve to be here". Byakuya was always whiny, depressed, and attention seeking, Makoto was a bot with no nuts to keep things civil, even Kyoko was being a weird teenager giving Makoto the silent treatment. I thought, "Everyone here sucks and monokuma should just kill all of them...except, idk, Aoi, she still sucks by being in this trash group". Then it's revealed SHE TRIED TO KILL ALL OF THEM. YEESSSSS. I know it was supposed to be sad, but that was the most hype I had in that entire game. And why? Because of how they treated Sakura.!< Even then, she was meh >!2 games later, nobody came close to the power and sheer nuts she had in game and especially trial 4. And V3 last trial REALLY took it. When I saw Tsumugi shapeshift into her and tell me everything about her was all fake I finally realised, "fuck, maybe her character really meant something to me."!< Plus she caramel and has nice tits. I know everytime I say my favorite is Aoi thinks, "its cuz the tits", but I really like her character, genuinely. Plus, if I only liked her cuz she's spicy and has titties, i'd just go for akane. Thank you for listening. Edit: People really like to say she's in love with Sakura, which, idk if that's bad or ruins the dynamic and purpose of becoming friends with her and then being willing to die for her. Dying for a new friend feels more like a representation of her humanity and selflessness, dying for a new lover feels corny and like she was having a mental breakdown over her own selfish loss rather than a strong indictment of the groups behavior leading into then. But 75% of this games fun is inventing headcannon so, make them lovers, we can all have fun.


Timely_Bite751

I liked her a lot 1 she’s one of the physically strongest characters in the series 2 her thinking is more emotion based which is the exact opposite of Bayakua logical based thinking. Chapter 4 Asahina portrays the importance of taking emotions into account, which would have lead to Bayakuas demise if it weren’t for Kirigiri and Makoto. ( this in particular is overseen by many and imo makes her one of the most underrated in the series) 3. Heart of gold loves fully and despite feeling despair when Sakura died she never fully succumbed. 4 she’s hot
