I keep thinking of a saiouma au thats like,,, its V3 but Shuichi was actually part of dice all along and he was just hiding it
I will elaborate after I finish hw !
ok frick this Im procrastinating SO,, u know when they enter the gym and find the others? what if they recognized each other but kept silent bc of the situation or something else ?
I just like thinking abt how near end game maybe chapter 4 when Kokichi goes mad, Shuichi blows his own cover to join Kokichi side revealing that he was a part of dice
OMG Kokichi punches Kaito right? and then u expect to see Shuichi run over to his best friend but everyone turns and Shuichi isnt moving at all until he makes his way to Kokichi,,, and everyones like “what the FUCK?”
ofc u know Kokichi actually just wanted to end the KG and that doesnt change but to the others it looks like Shuichi has been part of an evil organization lol
so now that they know abt Shu being a DICE member,, saiouma work together now !!
so now that they know abt Shu being a DICE member,, saiouma work together now !!
Idk where Im going w this I just had a thought

OMG THE ANGST THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN CHAPTER 5,,,,, oh no
ohmygod when Shuichi figures out who was actually klled ,,, AND THEN HE FINDS OUT THAT KAITO WAS THE MURDERER bye double pain !
thinking that Shuichi would still be friends w Maki and Kaito when he reveals he was part of DICE its just,,, theres an awkward feeling and I feel like Maki would be pissed?
also Shuichi now openly shares how he doesnt like how Maki and Kaito treats Kokichi u know w the grabbing neck and other stuff,,,
o but I think Shuichi would understand them not liking him bc he understands its hard to know what goes on w Kokichi bc even he still doesn’t fully understand Kokichi and hes part of DICE
he does not like the violence tho !
he does not like the violence tho !
saiouma definitely met up in secret a bunch of times, especially after their “first meeting” as soon as Shuichi saw the chance to he slipped away from Kaede (maybe at night? when they part ways?)
SHUICHI COMFORTING KOKICHI AFTER HE LOSES GONTA AND MIU !!!
ok this is part of my to draw list now

Shuichi actually falling in love w Kokichi,,,,, he loves when Kokichi calls him his beloved but he wont show it!
ok imagine this au but V3 is a simulation, imagine Shuichis surprise when he sees Kokichi alive :( except now he knows their life and scripted and stuff and DICE was probably not real
I like thinking Shuichi joined DICE bc he thought they were cool and thought Kokichi was cooler: this being how he started liking Kokichi
