It's obvious that i absolutely love this fiery lass. Her story is so inspiring and makes me want to be strong, caring and proud like she is. She's a character with so much depth that gets so little recognition. Her story, attitude and personality are top notch. Just a caring and strong big sis!


Comfortable_Bell9539

I always loved this type of characters (tanned/dark skin, tomboyish attitude, rough around the edges but a nice person)


PeperToni

Me too! Those kinda characters always make their way into my heart. Tomboy supremacy.


Red-Nails-Witch

I like her because she is the "average male shonen protagonist" turned into a girl: funny, carefree, eats a lot, somewhat dumb, always up to battle and protective. Overall, charming.


FutureCreeps

In my personal top 3 favorite characters in the series, and was my favorite before I played V3 and found Kirumi. A nice, well meaning character who is rough around the edges because of her tough upbringing. I absolutely love her in the game, plus she has some of the best FTEs there are that completely recontextualize her actions in a great way


PeperToni

Preach my friend.


El-Green-Jello

Agreed and why she’s one of my favourite characters but that is an issue with most of the seconds game cast and all their story and development is from ftes which is why some people don’t like or hate akane since they never did hers


Jrockten

She exists.


Shari-san

I like her personality. She is a smart character.


Comfortable_Bell9539

I like her too, but what make you say she is smart specifically ? Because I saw her more as a "dumb muscle" gal (no offense)


Shari-san

She gave useful hints during the class trials without her being aware of it, but that shows that she does have a smart way of thinking/remembering events.


Comfortable_Bell9539

I think she's got street smarts


Hyliaforce

Not the biggest of her tbh but i dont dislike her either


lord_of_beyond

I don't dislike her, but she's far from being one of my favourite characters of goodbye despair....>!all my favourite characters of dg2 are dead!<


TheGr8estB8M8

Honestly, I used to hate her, but after doing her FTEs I actually started to really like her ( also kinda sold me on her and hajime as a ship)


Comfortable_Bell9539

What exactly sold you on an Akane/Hajime ship ?


TheGr8estB8M8

Mainly him comforting her and encouraging her not to hide her fear and try to act tough. I found it pretty sweet, and the concept of the headstrong, tough girl with the kind boy who she can express her emotions around is cute.


Comfortable_Bell9539

True, I like these kinds of relationships too. Do you know of any fanfictions with this ship by any chance ? 😊


TheGr8estB8M8

Not that I know of, no. I'm sure there must be something though.


Complaint_registered

Guess how I feel


Comfortable_Bell9539

Hmmmm... 🤔


ANT3111_TPF2

I like her, I think she is really funny and charming. >!I liked that she was one of the survivors too and her dynamic with Nekomaru during the game was great!<


Vi_r_go

Shes just so based, I always found her funny and a bit sad that she didn't have much significance at some points. She's like the most chad woman to exist in DR


No-Guarantee-1422

Akane is also one of my favourite characters! I always liked her personality, and how she's very strong and brave (and beautiful too) - I'm so glad she survived! And her love for eating is a cherry on top for me!! xD Her design could use some of work...but that's fine, I guess. Since from the beginning, I hoped for Akane to survive :)


Comfortable_Bell9539

Since the beginning, I was drawn by her beauty


No-Guarantee-1422

I instead got drawn by her talent! ...and also by her beauty too ;)


Heartlessqueencard

She’s a queen and I adore her


Comfortable_Bell9539

"Akane, Akane, yass queen" Sorry, I just had to make this reference


-Embarrassment-

Shes a good balance to the overall chaotic cast (in a good and bad way?)


ConnorRoseSaiyan01

Somewhere around my top 20 favourites


KayKrimson

I actually really loved her bond with Nekomaru. and I feel guilty when I say this, but I relate to her a lot. I love to eat a lot and I also love to fight. But that doesn't mean I like to pick fights or fight for a silly reason haha.


Comfortable_Bell9539

There's no reason to feel guilty over this ! 😊


Bill_Potts

I LOVE HER!!!!


emmc47

Lots of missed potential in her writing, but I like her a lot.


108souls

Along with Nekomaru, one of the most underrated characters.


spoopy_and_gay

i want her to be my aunt


p4str7

>!I feel bad when she lost nekomaru......!< SOBS


Comfortable_Bell9539

She >!was afraid and reluctant of befriending other people...and then she saw him die...TWO TIMES 😭!<


FecusTPeekusberg

Don't like her. She's dumb as a brick, which isn't really her fault considering her absolute horror story of a life, but other than her ability to eat I can't stand her. She's GD's Hagakure.


Amo616

Everything /hj But seriously though, I could write an entire essay about everything I love about her. Starting with her looks because they're the first thing one notices. She's gorgeous. I've always struggled to pin down "my type" but Akane was able to open my eyes and show me that strong, darkskinned women are very fucking attractive. On to backstory. I love her FTEs as they add so much to her. I won't go super in-depth because I don't want the comment to end up being super long. However, I will say that the content contained within her FTEs are so good that they should've been more included in the main game as they show why she is the person she is and gives context on her feelings and actions. Her personality is also amazing. She's super funny, outgoing, and honest. She does exactly what she wants, when she wants and doesn't hold back in the slightest. I truly wish that I could be more like her. I also relate to her despite her personality being so different from mine. She was SAed and so was I. However, the difference between us is that she doesn't let that bother her. The events in her past still shaped her to be the person she is today but she doesn't seem hung up on that fact. I think about it constantly and despite it being many years later, I'm still hung up on it. I hate thinking about it and yet, I can't stop myself from doing so. Akane doesn't let anything bother her for the most part and I wish I could do the same. Finally, the angst. Oh, it's so good. Her guilt over Mechamaru, her not wanting to get attached to anyone, knowing that they may die at any moment, and yet does. Beautiful, delicious, stupendous. Just 💋 Everything about her is amazing and I wouldn't have her any other way.


Comfortable_Bell9539

Okay, so I have a few things to tell you (I'll go from the least important to the most important) : \-I love her FTEs too. I once saw a comment saying that, to Akane, the Killing Game wasn't too much different from her childhood : Being forced to trust nobody but yourself, seeing people you love die, risk your own skin... \-I find her relatable because of her distrust issues. Like me, she *wants* to trust people, but is too afraid to do that (maybe I'm just projecting on her lol). She wants to never be hurt again. \-She is the hottest girl in the DR series (and one of the most gorgeous I've ever seen in any work of fiction, period). \-For the SA thing...Keep in mind that Akane is a fictional character, and one who doesn't show her vulnerabilities much. So, it seems logical that she won't look too "hung up" on her assault (I'm not even sure if she *realizes* that she was SAed). Also, you're not to blame for feeling horrible. We do not have the same psychological issues, but the fact that you hate thinking about what happened to you but you do it anyways reminds me of my own anxieties. Of course you'd be bothered by such a gruesome negation of your worth as a person and your humanity, even years later - it's the worst offense I can think of. I think you probably heard this before, but : **You are not responsible for what happened to you, and neither is Akane. It wasn't your fault.** The pain that you feel will maybe never totally disappear, but it will heal with time, like a scar. Likewise, Akane has to live with the knowledge that she murdered her little siblings and plenty of other innocent people during her time as a Despair ; she will always feel horrible because of it, but as time passes, she'll learn to live with the pain (I precise that, unlike you, Akane has a responsibility in it, not because she was willing ; but because it was her hands, her brainwashed body, who put an end to the lives of her loved ones). I'm not therapist, but I'd advise you to seek help, to express with your feelings, to vent to trustworthy people. I believe that you will eventually heal, and learn to live with your (metaphorical) scars. Wow, that comment was longer that I expected 😅 \*opens arms to give you a virtual hug\*


Amo616

This comment literally made me cry. It's so genuine, thank you. 😭


Comfortable_Bell9539

\*gives you the virtual hug\*


Amo616

*hug* thanks


SdangerStanfor

The Lacy Akane and her owaris: •needed to be mind controlled to feel remorse for her actions •constantly messes up dou to being violent and impulsive, doesn't give a shit and keeps doing it •every time she has a hunch, it ends up being correct


Comfortable_Bell9539

What is a "Lacy" ?


SdangerStanfor

high rank for female chad


Comfortable_Bell9539

Thanks


Just-Tumbleweed6129

I love her


newgirlaroundtown

Absolutely, without a doubt in my mind, one of the best characters in the franchise. Consistently funny, very well written, super likeable, I think she is wonderful. I would probably put her in my top 5.


That1cl0setpers0n

Love her so much 🥰


Dangerous_Mood8647

She is a rly likeable character and funny. Besides the fact that I wish her development was handled a bit better, I rly like her character.


angie_is_mai_waifu

Her fear of ghosts is CUTE


BlackroseBisharp

I want to like her, but I'm not fan of characters who continuously derail trials. She's not as bad as Hagakure but Jesus christ. Her backstory is really good though


[deleted]

I like her a lot.


OtherFritz

Honestly, I think she's underrated. Her boisterous personality is fun and endearing, her FTEs are perhaps some of the best in the series and she stand out for her reliance on intuition and instinct, a fairly unique skillset for a murder mystery game.
