ALTER EGO GAME ALL DEATHS SERIES
To fully appreciate her, you have to take in everything that happens when DR1 first starts and how this works for not only the game, but as an introduction towards the entire series and what it does well. She is, essentially, a very basic first introduction to the franchise and is presented in an easily digestible manner. The most important thing to understand with Sayaka is that she is like your typical anime girl. Plus the one thing that I do disagree on with neth there is pretty crucial: I do see her as the ‘’essence of Danganronpa’’, that she was perfect, beautiful, that she looked like Linda Evangelista, that she was a model. Buuuuuuut I still want her to live and one of my goals was to at least get her above Kyoko, pipe dream for Toko as well so she can be a top 2 DR1 girl with Hina (altho Toko’s only alive cause UDG so would it be cheating for this goal to not include her?), so even aside from the revival limit forcing me to this round, I do want her to get further and finally rise against the oppression that I’ve been facing for years. It’d be disingenuous of me to pretend issues such as her being obvious for a mystery game, how she’s forced onto the player a bit too much due to time constraints in order to get us to care can come off as a bit odd, she snaps kinda early for someone having a mask, and even her personality dull, can reasonably cause someone to not feel attached to her or even if they did, still think she deserves to be out in this kind of competition. This revival is a bit of an odd one, mostly because despite how I was always going to have Sayaka as a top priority, I was perfectly fine with her cut and even helped neth proofread it, so it feels kinda wrong to then go ahead and revert it anyways.
