She was important, sympathetic because she opened up so much and still a cool person which had their own little secret. Kyoko seemed through the first game and then anime like the second protagonist. I mean don't get me wrong, it was definitely emotional and yes I lost a tear or two It was just a too.too unspecial death (yes unspecial is definitely a word, and I didn't make that up, nope). I always kinda disliked her death since Smith didn't really fit in. When I first saw the anime and watcher how Kyoko just appeared, I was definitely happy. Now, was there a purpose to revive Kyoko?
Our ultimate detective friend searched through every corpse so she probably found out about the medicine in that way and before she fell asleep on the night where she was supposed to die, she took it so she'd survive the poison. Kirigiri was alive at the end of the hope side! But.was that necessary? Did it have a purpose? You can definitely see a big personality change when you think about it.which also strengths the bond between the two characters.īut then.boom. It also gave Makoto the energy boost he needed to get out of the killing game. So she basically have her own life for Makoto which is not a suicide but a big sacrifice, like Kizakura did. She knew that she has to kill him, but didn't do it. Kyoko knew she would die if she doesn't kill Makoto. Now, I know that Kyoko technically did not commit suicide since she died to the poison and not to herself.īut when you think about it, it's getting clear. "A suicide means you've killed the most important existence of all: yourself" In the same moment, the bond between Makoto and Kyoko gets stronger than ever. Kyoko knew since the beginning that she would die when she doesn't kill Makoto in the time limit, yet she decided against that option. The watcher gets a weird and uncomfortable feeling. His death was now not necessary, since Kyoko died. Kizakura, who sacrificed himself to save Kyoko, seemed now completely without use. When Kirigiri "died" and the camera over her "corpse" went (okay okay I'll stop with the quotes), the drama started now fully. Of course that wasn't just a normal death, it was the death of a character we've been following through a game, the whole anime and even a tiny Part of DR2.īut now that everyone knows what was going on, more to the purpose of her death follows now! Since it was still a KILLING game, it gave her the following choice: Of course, and that's how it led to Kyoko's death, Kyoko died due to that FA. In Kyoko's case, it was to let Makoto live for three days (I just assume they were days). On top of that, on these wristbands was special action noted that the characters were not allowed to do, so called "Forbidden actions" (in this blog it will be referred as FA), like opening one of their hands, running in the halls etc.į they did that action, the poison would inject itself into the veins of the wearer and kill them, leaving the victims and a few seconds before they die. Starting off with the explanation what even happened in DR3 for these who don't know shizzle about it.īasically, Everyone in this killing game got a special wristband, which was loaded with poison.
