Kirigiri on Hagakure

...Okay so it probably goes without saying that when it comes to the Dangan Ronpa survivors, on Kirigiri's end of things with regards to Hagakure there was at least a little bit of "...how the shit did this guy manage to outlive, outplay, outlast until the bitter end."

What's interesting, though, is that to some extent Hagakure is kind of the 78th class's "not the hero we wanted but the hero we deserved", a little bit — and he's really had a lot of room to grow and demonstrate that in Route, both with Kirigiri and as a member of the cast in general. Hagakure is kind of the cast's Ultimate Bro; he really cares about people and he legitimately tries his best and okay, so he's not an ace detective, but that doesn't make his contributions any less valuable because they all have their place, too.

And that, I think, is what Kirigiri is only just starting to realize about Hagakure, because Kirigiri is someone who has a lot of very definite ideas about what personal worth derives from (and she probably had a lot of time and opportunity to think about those ideas, growing up hating the fact that she was "the girl whose father threw her away"), and as such she inherently places a lot of value on intellectualism, which is not where Hagakure's true strengths lie. Consequently, if she doesn't put in the effort to see that, she comes away with the perception that the guy's an idiot and not really contributing much; that said, because of a bunch of the character development she's been undergoing lately, she really is starting to see that he's making valuable contributions in areas that they all probably need, even if they're not necessarily the ones they think they need.

And on a more personal level, I think Kirigiri's really starting to comprehend how much she appreciates the fact that Hagakure treats her like his friend and someone he values as being special to him, because she's very used to being a loner and fading into obscurity and not actually having attachments to friends and community like that, so that's actually pretty important to her, too.
