Nanami Is Often Branded As The "helper Girl", But I Just Reviewed The Third Trial Today And Can State

Nanami is often branded as the "helper girl", but I just reviewed the third trial today and can state that the main "helper" of sdr2 is Nagito Komaeda. The game literally makes the player dependent on Nagito, exaggerating his importance and elevating his deductive skills to an absolute. Whenever any difficulty occurs during a trial, it is Komaeda who takes care of everything. He gives hints, he protects, he guides (and in the course of his investigations, he tells you to go there and do that). In the end, when Nagito dies, the game reminds us how many times he got our asses out.

Chiaki statements are mostly independent and work for the plot, not to help Hinata. What's more, Hajime HAS HELPED HER. As was the case during Chiaki's argument with Tanaka.

Chiaki was probably really meant to be the protagonist's mainstay, but I have a theory that with the creation of Nagito, Kodaka changed plans and decided to give Komaeda more screen time and plot weight, which resulted in "sticking him in all precedents even if it's irrelevant".

There is no way Chiaki is the "perfect girl" because:

perfect girls do not ignore people

perfect girls don't conflict

perfect girls don't mock

perfect girls do not use an authoritarian tone

perfect girls don't shut others up

perfect girls are not called bitches

perfect girls don't get annoyed

perfect girls don't punch in the face

Chiaki aesthetic image: Etymology

Nanami means "seven seas". Chiaki means "a thousand autumns." And I can't help but talk about how perfectly the name fits the heroine.

The sea probably refers to the place where the game takes place, but autumn is more curious, because in this season nature falls asleep or even dies. The Japanese have a common philosophy of contemplation and harmony with nature, so every season is beautiful in its own way for the inhabitants of the land of the rising sun. But if we take a more Western and classical understanding of autumn, the concept of "autumnal moping" comes to mind, which is classified as a dreary, sleepy, lethargic and fatigued state. The very condition that Chiaki demonstrates as the story progresses. It is as if she is stuck in this endless autumnal dullness.

I would like to point out how the color scheme fits perfectly into the meaning of the name. The dark turquoise color in the design is really associated with the sea, and the ashy-pink inserts remind of autumn.

i'm in love to this sm

I also wanted to say something about the term "gap moe" that Soda uses in reference to Nanami.

Moe is a character who evokes feelings of cuteness, a desire to protect and care. Accordingly, "gap moe" destroys these feelings, leaving a kind of dissonance. It seems to you that the character should behave differently, be kind and nice, but it turns out to be the opposite. Roughly speaking, the character does something completely contrary to what his appearance dictates.

The "gap moe" effect demonstrates the versatility of the character, as opposed to those characters whose behavior never changes or is completely predictable. It allows the viewer to view the character as more than just a one-dimensional figure, since in reality people may well be caught off guard by those who do not act as expected.

Thus, "gap moe" is not intended to "attract," but rather to show the character from a different perspective, helping to delve into his essence. The author's way of saying "there is something interesting about this character and it will be revealed later," arousing curiosity.
