Character Name: Gundam Tanaka Character Canon: Danganronpa Canon Point: Conclusion of Chapter 4 Age: 18
Crime: Gundam's a liar. Due to feelings of insecurity stemming from his youth Gundam can't bring himself to be upfront about anything. He lies about his name, his title, his hobbies. Everything he says is cloaked in an absurd lie. He can't stand to be honest with anyone, especially himself. It's detrimental to every facet of his life and I think it would be fun to explore more.
Personality: Gundam grew up as an only child and because of the circumstances of his birth, neither the paternal or maternal sides of his family or even his father acknowledged his existence and ostracized him. His mother raised Gundam as a single parent. Gundam grew up feeling like an unwanted outsider by society and also never really developed any strong relationships with anyone outside of his mother, who he loves very dearly.
Because of his isolated upbringing, he grew up avoiding social situations and physical interaction with others. He continues to struggle to relate to other people and even benign physical intimacy as a result. Where he was unable to bond with human beings, led him to develop his interest in forming bonds with animals. Gundam created an exciting and unique personality for himself based on evil powers and the occult. At first the things he says seem to just be cryptic rantings. Yet if you look between the lines of the lies and over dramatizations; there's a small kernel of truth to everything he says.
In his canon universe it is tremendously important for individuals to have a unique talent. Gundam’s talent as the Super High School Level: Animal Breeder is what distinguishes him from everyone else in the world. Because of Gundam’s talent he is invited to attend Hope’s Peak Academy, which is a prestigious school devoted to finding and shaping young talented individuals into a future of Hope.
Gundam remembers showing up to school, but never actually getting to experience Hope's Peak Academy at all. Gundam ends up trapped in a virtual simulation with his classmates. Initially the goal was for Gundam and the other students to grow and bond together as friends. However, the simulation is manipulated and transformed into a murder game where the students were pitted against one another for survival. This is the first time that Gundam could recall that he was really forced to be around such a big group of people with no escape. As a result he became quite attached to his classmates and the more time he spent with them, the more he wanted to protect and befriend them.
Gundam's desire to protect the friends he'd grown close to is what ultimately leads to his demise. Eventually Gundam and the others remaining become trapped in a fun house with no means of escape nor food to sustain themselves. None of them are permitted to leave and none of them will be permitted any food until a murder is committed by someone in the group. After Hajime declares that he would rather starve and die than ever kill one of his friends, Gundam realizes that without a murder everyone is going to die and no one will be saved. In that moment, Gundam realizes that in order to save the majority of his friends from perishing, he has to become the blackened and has to kill someone.
Gundam creates an intricate and elaborate murder plot and lures Nekomaru Nidai into a duel to the death. Gundam left opportunities for Nekomaru to decline the fight and escape, but he is able to recognize Gundam's true intent and chooses to fight to the death. It's a fair fight in which either one could have been the victim or the murderer. Gundam ultimately wins, murdering Nekomaru. The risky methods Gundam uses to commit his crime, that he's not ultimately concerned with surviving this ordeal. He's doing this for the benefit of the group at large.
Gundam actually confesses to the crime in the first few minutes of his trial, outing himself as the "Ultimate Weapon," but given his propensity for theatrics no one takes him seriously. Eventually it becomes clear that because of a flawed alibi, Gundam was the only one who could have committed the murder. Gundam doesn't offer much of a defense of himself until he's prompted by Sonia to do so and even then his arguments are weak and simple to strike down. It's only when it's suggested that Gundam attacked Nekomaru dishonorably that he begins to argue back. Still devoted to his evil Overlord persona , Gundam encourages all his remaining friends to condemn him for his crime with no hesitation.
Gundam praises his fallen friend as courageous for dying when someone here needed to die to prevent everyone else from starving. Gundam admonishes the rest of the group for simply giving up and resigning themselves to their own deaths, hoping to inspire them to fight against their circumstances going forward no matter what. Eventually his classmates realize that Gundam had much kinder intentions than he would ever admit. He committed murder so no one else would have to and he sacrificed himself as the blackened to give everyone left a future they would fight for.
Abilities: In his canon universe it is tremendously important for individuals to have a unique talent. Gundam’s talent as the Super High School Level: Animal Breeder is what distinguishes him from everyone else in the world. Because of Gundam’s talent he is invited to attend Hope’s Peak Academy, which is a prestigious school devoted to finding and shaping young talented individuals into a future of Hope.
Gundam’s talent is titled the Super High School Level Animal Breeder and involves working with and understanding animals in a capacity that no one else in the world has managed. Gundam deeply loves and cares for animals, liking and respecting them even above human beings who he holds in low regard. What makes Gundam unique from other breeders and animal lovers is that he’s literally able to communicate with and in turn understand animals. He's successfully bred species back from the brink of extinction and he’s been able to tame any animal, even the most wild, with his abilities. Since Gundam has such a hard time relating to people, it's through animals that he's able to express how loving, caring, and nurturing he truly is beneath his Supreme Overlord persona. Animals have made a significant impact on his life and his most favorite things in the world are his Four Dark Devas of Destruction – four hamsters that he's actually trained to live on his person.
Inventory:
- One Coat - One Pair of Pants - One Pair of Boots - One tee shirt - One purple scarf - One red contact lens - Eyeliner - Fake Lightning Tattoo - One Hellhound Earring - Gundam has four hamsters that he has trained to live in his clothing. (I assume these will need to be regained at a later point)
