History YMMV / ThreePointShot

* BetterThanCanon: Many readers believe that the author has done a much better job portraying the three main ships of ''Danganronpa V3'' than the canon game.
** For [[POVBoyPosterGirl Kaede and Shuichi]], they became instantly infatuated with each other despite only knowing each other for two days. Then Kaede ends up getting killed in order to drive Shuichi's development. [[spoiler:Along with Kaede getting to live, the two are able to work out their trust and confidence issues throughout the story while also [[CopAndScientist displaying great teamwork both during and outside of the class trials]]. During [[MilestoneCelebration the 50th Chapter]], they express their feelings for one another and [[RelationshipUpgrade decide to take their relationship to the next level]]]].
** For [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe Kaito and Maki]], Maki's role in the story was designated to being Kaito's ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend as her development completely relied on him. Kaito himself [[ObliviousToLove never returned Maki's affection for him]] and simply saw her as a friend. It also didn't help that he kept pushing her to give up her assassin talent [[StayInTheKitchen just because she was a girl]]. [[spoiler:In the fanfic, Maki is given more freedom to have positive relations with the other students while having a more integral role in the story. Kaito comes to appreciate her caring and confident personality and is able to return her romantic affection. And while he still convinces her to live her own life, he's able to do so without the sexist reasons from the canon game]].
** For [[PseudoRomanticFriendship Tenko and Himiko]], Tenko was shown to be [[MyBelovedSmother overly affectionate and smothering]] much to Himiko's displeasure. And it wasn't until after Tenko was killed in the official canon that the mage was able to recuperate her feelings for her. [[spoiler:Even though Tenko still dies after [[LastRequest encouraging Himiko to be more open]], the aiikido master is able to tone down her excessive coddling and spends time getting to know Himiko. Himiko herself is okay with spending time with her and is encouraged to be more thoughtful of Tenko's affection]].

** For [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Tenko and Himiko]], Tenko was shown to be [[MyBelovedSmother overly affectionate and smothering]] much to Himiko's displeasure. And it wasn't until after Tenko was killed in the official canon that the mage was able to recuperate her feelings for her. [[spoiler:Even though Tenko still dies after [[LastRequest encouraging Himiko to be more open]], the aiikido master is able to tone down her excessive coddling and spends time getting to know Himiko. Himiko herself is okay with spending time with her and is encouraged to be more thoughtful of Tenko's affection]].

--->'''Kokichi''': [[spoiler:I just want you to remember my face. In your darkest moments, I want you [[[YouMakeMeSic to]]] remember the face of the man who '''''beat you'''''.]]

** For [[POVBoyPosterGirl Kaede and Shuichi]], they became instantly infatuated with each other despite only knowing each other for two days. Then [[DisposableWoman Kaede ends up getting fridged]] in order to drive Shuichi's development. [[spoiler:Along with Kaede getting to live, the two are able to work out their trust and confidence issues throughout the story while also [[CopAndScientist displaying great teamwork both during and outside of the class trials.]] During [[MilestoneCelebration the 50th Chapter]], they express their feelings for one another and [[RelationshipUpgrade decide to take their relationship to the next level.]]]]

* BrokenBase:

* NightmareFuel: Just like the source, the executions are rather gruesome.
** "All Dolled Up": [[spoiler:Sure, Tsumugi had it coming, but the Ultimate Cosplayer's fate is still rather gruesome. After the bears give her a makeover to make her look like Junko, she's suddenly wrapped around by garrote wires all around her limbs and neck, while she's trapped in box labelled "Life Size Mastermind Doll". Monokuma and the cubs begin to pull on them, allowing the wires to fully cut through skin and bone, reducing Shirogane to nothing but broken body parts held in place. After the wires snap back and Monotaro is reduced to scrap metal by this, Monokuma wraps things up by placing a sticker on the front titled, "Some Assembly Required".]]
** Kaede’s nightmare in Chapter 7, where an enormous Shuichi is playing a massive piano with her tied to one of the strings, a massive hammer overhead. He keeps on hitting wrong notes, with one wrong note in particular being the one that will end her life.

** For [[POVBoyPosterGirl Kaede and Shuichi]], they became instantly infatuated with each other despite only knowing each other for two days. Then [[DisposableWoman Kaede ends up getting fridged]] in order to drive [[{{Mangst}} Shuichi's development]]. [[spoiler:Along with Kaede getting to live, the two are able to work out their trust and confidence issues throughout the story while also [[CopAndScientist displaying great teamwork both during and outside of the class trials.]] During [[MilestoneCelebration the 50th Chapter]], they express their feelings for one another and [[RelationshipUpgrade decide to take their relationship to the next level.]]]]

** [In chapter 65, [[spoiler:after receiving a 'pep talk' from her pregame self, [[TheHero Kaede]] comes out of her HeroicBSOD with the full intention of fighting back against Team Danganronpa. She points out how even with the chance of getting their old personalities back, they'll still remember their experience in the killing game and [[TheWarHasJustBegun use it to fight against the show in the real world]]. [[HopeBringer With her words of encouragement,]] each of her friends expresses their own HeroicSecondWind speech and become just as motivated to fight alongside her. It all leads up to a [[FinalBoss Final Scrum Debate between them against Kaori and the Monokucubs]] with them successfully winning.]]

* BetterThanCanon: Many readers believe that the author has done a much better job portraying the three main ships of ''New Dangan Ronpa V3'' than the canon game.
** For [[POVBoyPosterGirl Kaede and Shuichi]], they became instantly infatuated with each other despite only knowing each other for two days. Then [[DisposableWoman Kaede ends up getting fridged]] in order to drive [[{{Main/Mangst}} Shuichi's development]]. [[spoiler: Along with Kaede getting to live, the two are able to work out their trust and confidence issues throughout the story while also [[CopAndScientist displaying great teamwork both during and outside of the class trials.]] During [[MilestoneCelebration the 50th Chapter]], they express their feelings for one another and [[RelationshipUpgrade decide to take their relationship to the next level.]]]]

*** An AuthorsSavingThrow pops up later [[spoiler: when Team Danganronpa mentions having increased Kiyo's aggression, leading to his sudden attack]].

** More hilarious in ''foresight.'' Although unplanned, [[spoiler: Kokichi's plan going into action during the 53rd chapter plays into the [[VisualNovel/NewDanganRonpaV3 title of the source game]].]]
** An observant reader pointed out a Famitsu scan which contains [[spoiler:[[https://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/File:Famitsu_Scan_January_26th,_2017_Cover.png all of the story's survivors]] (provided you count Ki-bo)]]. It's certainly the most appropriate artwork related to this story.
* LikeYouWouldReallyDoIt: At the end of chapter 61, a majority of fans were afraid that [[spoiler: Kaede exposed herself to the Flashback Light left for her in her lab, giving them the impression that she'd be susceptible to Team Danganronpa's manipulations. Or worse, that [[BrainwashedAndCrazy she'd be tricked into becoming the new mastermind for the killing game.]]]] Thankfully, this is avoided as [[spoiler: Kaede is aware of what could happen if she exposed herself to the light and decides against using it]].

** [[spoiler: In chapter 65, after receiving a 'pep talk' from her pregame self, [[TheHero Kaede]] comes out of her HeroicBSOD with the full intention of fighting back against Team Danganronpa.

-->'''[[spoiler:Tsumugi]]''': This is insane! Akamatsu leaves a trail of evidence two miles wide, and just because her little boyfriend does a half-rate science-fair project we're gonna believe she's innocent?!\\

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: In chapter 49 while discussing the found photo of Rantaro participating in a killing game, Himiko points out that he's doing the '''finger point thing''' that Kaede and Shuichi do. When Kaede tries to argue that they don't do it as much, all the other students rise up on cue, do the finger point and declare "YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG!".

** "All Dolled Up": [[spoiler: Sure, she had it coming, but the Ultimate Cosplayer's fate is still rather gruesome. After the bears give her a makeover to make her look like Junko, she's suddenly wrapped around by garrote wires all around her limbs and neck, while she's trapped in box labelled "Life Size Mastermind Doll".

It's certainly the most appropriate artwork related to this story.

** Also from the second trial, there's the killer's identity. While a fair number of people found it quite tragic that [[spoiler:Tenko]] was the killer and ended up being executed, others believed it didn't make sense for [[spoiler:her]] to keep quiet about [[spoiler:her]] guilt for so long([[spoiler:until Himiko called her out on it]]), since if the blackened had gotten away, [[spoiler:everyone else, including Himiko, would have gotten executed, something Tenko wouldn't allow under any circumstances]].

** For [[RomanticTwoGirlFriendship Tenko and Himiko]], Tenko was shown to be [[MyBelovedSmother overly affectionate and smothering]] much to Himiko's displeasure. And it isn't until after Tenko is killed that the mage is able to recuperate her feelings for her.
