Okay DRV3 Fans Let's Talk about Canon Ages.

Because I woke up and my brain connected the dots, and because some of you are fucking weird about High-school students. So let's clear the air here--and let's just say they're probably over 18 years old.

In my Gonta rant (which yes I'm linking here, go read it) I call him a young adult. Some people are under the impression (like that anon I got last night) that the V3 cast is canonly 16 or younger due to... whatever the fuck reason. But! I am here to argue a counter point--that the V3 Cast is actually much older and are more college age than young highschoolers.

First of all, let's remember the fact that in all DR games, the cast has gone to high school for some amount of years before their memories are wiped. V3 Also has this feature, and it is within the canon story that these kids remember attending HPA.

Now whether or not you believe this to be true is irrelevant right now because I need you to remember that the backstory for these characters was that they were being hunted down by the Ultimate Hunt, which means they were Ultimate Students at HPA first. Then they had their memories wiped to go into hiding. Yada yada.

The important part actually comes from Kirumi, however. Kirumi is the character that proves that the V3 cast is older than 18 years old.

Remember this tidbit--where Kirumi was the maid of the Prime Minister? Well, when do you think she became the maid for the Prime Minister, do you think?

I have an answer for you.

This is the dialogue from Kaito's "My Future" cutscene from DR:S. The "My Future" Cutscenes take place at the end of the run with the character chosen, and DR:S takes place right at the end of their 3rd year of attending HPA.

Kirumi doesn't specify who she will be working for, but considering that this person is such a big deal what she felt the need to consult Kaito about it, to help her sort out her feelings, I think we can all agree this is heavily referencing V3's plot where she is the Prime Minister's Maid.

This means that Kirumi only took the job as the Prime Minister's Maid at the very end of high school.

That means that by the time V3 runs around, she's well out of high school.

Now you can argue that V3 and DR:S aren't in the same canon--and you'd be right! I would never consider them to be canon to one another. However, this scene shows that in DRV3 and in DR:S, the intention for Kirumi to have been the Prime Minister's maid started at the very tail end of her time in high school. Same character, same backstory, different situation.

Meaning by that logic, Kirumi--as well as her other classmates--are over 18 years old in V3.

They are young adults.

Do you think Miu would build a kid for herself and Keebo?

Aw that’s a sweet idea! She totally would, I feel like it would go almost identically to the opening scene from Robots (2005) where they build the baby and upgrade him as he grows up

Yeah… I just wanted an excuse to post about Miu.

Still, reply if there are any other V3 characters you would like me to do :))

Shipping them because of and in spite of the canon 😌

If you reply with other Iruma or Ouma ships, I will share my shipping bingo opinion on them, too 🙏🏻

They’re so superior.

I really like this duo, in both ways, platonically and romantically

My baby sister keeps drawing and gifting me chibis of Kokichi and Miu because she knows they’re my favourites in V3 🥺

“My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys” is the quintessential Kokichi shipping song from TTPD:TA, but “Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus” is the oumota song.

lets go to a cafe ^_^

boobs in my face

Ngl the headcanon that Kokichi would bully children puts me off doesn’t make sense to me

I feel as if he’d actually be way friendlier to them, even avoiding to swear - I mean cmon this is a childish guy we’re talking about him and the children would bond INSTANTLY due to his child like persona

He’d be good at entertaining them but not the responsibilities of one as a babysitter lets be fr here

If anything, he’d prolly go and influence them to bully/tease Kaito 🙏
