Laaalalalaa I love Tetro Danganronpaaa I will talk about my AU, rewrites & redesigns of the characters here because they are all my ocs now Okay?
I have a whole pinterest board dedicated to their redesigns btw I think it's cool. Some chatacters might not be there yet cuz either 1. I haven't gotten to them yet or 2. The changes I'd make to their design are very easy / minimal so I don't need a lot of refs

Pink Blue White Redesigns AU
Pink
It stays the same. I don't really have that much I didn't like about it besides some character relationships feeling rushed/unnatural (Hello HaseMura and HiroJima) and just 'cuz the story I was told means a lot to me I guess? I just can't really bring myself to change it. Tsuno Manami should probably get to live tho so I'll think about that lol
Blue
I have a lot of gripes with Blue and I have a lot of ideas for it too. I have a general idea of how I want the story to go but I'm also kinda scared that my bias is gonna be hard to work with/around (guy who HATES Ikeda but understands he's got potential)
The awesome list that started this all. I'm expanding on my ideas from it here. Below is a condensed version 
Ch.1 – I like Ouno being the killer because I think that—with the direction of Monomoko coming to empathize with these kids & whatever—having someone with such a human and real reason to kill start off the chapter is like totally awesome. Just (and sadly) out of complete bias I'm changing her kill to be Isoda instead of Akiba. I'm way more interested in Akiba than I am with Isoda + they literally do nothing every single chapter which is so boring for them 😭
Lets say that Isoda comes out of their room because they're hungry, and they wander into the storage room 'cuz maybe they think there's less chances of people being there. Ouno kills Isoda just like how she did with Akiba, then Ogura & Akiba—who were on their way to do their snack-raid—find Isoda's body.
The reason why Ogura and Akiba weren't there already is 'cuz I'm letting them have that sweet moment of Taku opening up. So they do all of that somewhere else and are held up for a while.
I think the trial goes on basically the same way as it does in canon & they find out Ouno's the killer. Ouno, before she is executed, in a fit of helplessness and rage, she KILLS IKEDA. YES. CHAPTER 1 DOUBLE MURDER.
Imo Ouno had one of the "most human" reason to kill. She was a mother who needed to be with her daughter. I think when you pair something like that with the intensity of a double kill in chapter 1 it sets up like ? higher stakes maybe? and more chaos for later on.
Ch.2 –
White
I have soooo much to say about this one brah... SO fucking much (lie) I just pretend like it doesn't exist lowk
Redesigns
Drawings will be posted mayb
AU
MY NORMAL ASS SCHOOL AU !!! PINKLINGS ARE IN COLLEGE WHILE THE BLUDENTS ARE IN HIGHSCHOOL !!!! I did a lot of mental math and it really hurt my head so please just trust that I know what I'm doing

Here is my age math:
Remember they HAVE to be 17 AND Von said that Mai was going to turn 18 in a month in canon*, so that means that since Mai's birthday is on June 3rd and Hama's birthday is on May 10th, he had to have just turned 17. That means that logically anyone whose birthday is after May is a year older than those whose birthdays are before. Am I making sense?
- "Hayashi is seventeen years old. to be specific, seventeen years old and a month out from turning eighteen"
I do not have the same level of "Age Math" for Blue as I do with Pink, but we do know that 1. Time is weird 2. It's been a year since Pink and 3. All the bluedents (- hirose) are a year younger than the pinklings.
I am assuming since the Staff shot immediately into the next game that the pinklings left in mid-June of the next year which means all the Bluedents have to be 17 by that time (- Hirose obv).
FOR THE SAKE OF ME NOT GOING CRAZY AND TRYING TO BE MATTPAT BY PROVING PINK TAKES PLACE IN 2016 BECAUSE OF TAMBA'S USAGE OF THE WORD "YEET" LETS JUST SAY THAT IT TAKES PLACE IN 2024 OKAY? BECAUSE VON DID NOT THINK OF ALL OF THAT AND IM JUST CRAZY AND THINKING TOO HARD.
With that out of the way Pink 2024 - Blue 2025. They take place during these years because its easier for me to argue my case for their ages. Lets say that Yonekura wanted to start the killing game off as clean as possible so she picked May 13th (2024), a Monday, just like how all school weeks start. This means the game ends on June 18 (2025), a Wednesday.
We already know that Yonekura wanted to start the 2nd session as soon as possible, so lets say it took a few days to move everything & transport people to the plain, now it's the 27th & they're getting things in order, on the 29th they finish up interviews, and on the 30th they start the game.
SO what is all of this planning out even for again?? THEIR AGES !!! Anyone whose birthdays are after June 30 are 17 going on 18 and anyone whose birthdays are before that date just turned 17. SOOOO FINALLY THEREE IS MY REASONING FOR WHERE I PUT THE CHARACTERS AND HOW I PERSONALLY WILL VIEW THEIR AGES IN THIS AU
Note: I have just realized that I put blind faith into the logistics of Hirose being 16. I am now thinking about this more & how it works... (Von who had thought about allat) ANYWAY. I only rally have to change the dates to be after Hirose's b-day which is easy enough !! Perhaps almost a month is considered "rushed" for yonekura..
