|
|
Tsumugi Shirogane (in Japanese: 白銀 つむぎ, Shirogane Tsumugi), the Ultimate Cosplayer, is the main antagonist of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. Initially disguised, she is eventually revealed to be the ringleader of the 53rd killing game and Shuichi's arch-enemy.
Her talent is the Ultimate/Super High School Level Cosplayer (in Japanese: 超高校級の「コスプレイヤー」, chō kōkō kyū no “kosupureiyā” lit. Super High School Level Cosplayer). As a cosplayer, Tsumugi is able to mimic the appearance, behavior, voice, and characteristics of the person she is cosplaying as. However, she is unable to cosplay as anyone who is existent in reality.
In the Japanese version, was voiced by Mikako Komatsu. In the English version, she was voiced by Dorothy Elias-Fahn, who also voiced Sayaka Maizono.
Appearance[]
Tsumugi Shirogane is a slim and tall young woman with teal blue hair and eyes. She wears oval-framed glasses, a white blouse with an orange bow, and a brown/dark gray skirt. She has black leggings and beige shoes. When Tsumugi reveals her true nature, her hair gets much more wavy and her pupils appear light blue.
Personality[]
In the beginning of the game, Tsumugi is portrayed as a gentle and kind girl who is polite and friendly. This is all made up to be a façade, as she is almost similar to Junko Enoshima. She is entirely unassuming and plain, to the point where she refers to herself as extremely plain.
When she reveals her true self, Tsumugi embodies the very worst in humanity; she is extremely abusive, heartless, manipulative and sadistic. She is pleased to mentally abuse people with the power she has, and willingly do anything to drive the participants into murder and despair for publicity, revealing that she has no qualms of committing mass murder on brainwashed humans just for fame and treats them like livestock, and uses her disregard of the power of fiction just to exploit and dehumanize them for not being real.
Cruel and cunning, Tsumugi shows no remorse over organizing the Killing Games and Rantaro's death. Crazy over the Danganronpa show, she went to full lengths to brainwash those who participated in the event. As the ringleader of Daganronpa, she has high intelligence, enhanced wit and deception. She shows no remorse killing Rantaro or indirectly causing death to many other victims, enough so that even managed to Manipulate Kokichi, of all people.
She often uses her facade a lot in the start of the show, and soon reveals herself as the Mastermind. She is scheming, conniving, crafty, witty, sly and very cunning. Famously known for getting what she wants and how she gets it by brainwashing those who got in the event. Tactics are known as deception, being two-faced, brainwashing, gaslighting, accusing, and so on. She's a villainous counterpart for being a know-it-all.
It is evident that she became insane in the Chapter 6 trial after no one voted for the blackened in the trial. Throughout the trial, Tsumugi cosplayed the characters in Trigger Happy Havoc: Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair as she explained the truth behind the Killing Game.
Biography[]
It is believed that, like the others, Tsumugi was brainwashed in the Gopher Plan. However, she was involved with Team Danganronpa.
In Chapter 1, Tsumugi murdered Rantaro after discovering that he and Kaede planned to expose her as the ringleader and mastermind of the Killing Game. In response, Tsumugi framed Kaede as the murderer of Rantaro. Near the end of the game (Chapter 6), Tsumugi was rightfully revealed as the organizer of the Killing Game and is executed alongside Monokuma by K1-B0.With Tsumugi and Monokuma dead and Danganronpa cancelled for good, Kaede and the other participates are avenged and they can all finally rest in peace.

Trivia[]
- Tsumugi is the first mastermind presented in the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles Saga. Under her despair persona, Tsumugi shares similarities to Junko Enoshima, the central villain of Hope's Peak Academy Saga.
- Both of them were selfish and egotistic and could not live in a world without their goals (despair and the ultimate fiction). They also built their own amusements on others' deaths.
- Both Tsumugi and Junko framed at least one protagonist for murder. Junko framed Kyoko Kirigiri and Makoto Naegi for the death of Mukuro Ikusaba, whereas Tsumugi framed Kaede for the death of Rantaro Amami. However, Tsumugi succeeded and killed Kaede in execution; Junko failed to execute Makoto (In the Bad Ending, Kyoko is executed and killed in his place.).
- Both of them almost drove the survivors to despair with sadistic choices.
- Their death also shared similarities since they were both crushed to death alongside their respective Monokumas. Also, both of them showed some dismay before their death, though Tsumugi's dismay was much deeper.
- Before her final moments, Tsumugi dressed up as Junko and waved her hand smiling. This referred to Junko's reactions at the beginning of her execution, though Tsumugi's façade eventually dropped and revealed her true feelings.
- Unlike Junko, who controlled Monokuma while hiding her true self away from others, Tsumugi presented herself during class trials while Monokuma worked as an independent robot.
- Tsumugi is the first (and possibly the only) Danganronpa villain who successfully killed a protagonist character.
- Tsumugi is also the first (and possibly the only) Danganronpa villain who mentioned the name of the franchise, and the first character in Danganronpa franchise who outright revealed the entire fictional world concerning Hope's Peak Academy Saga was utterly fictional.
- The only Hope Peak Academy Saga game character Tsumugi did not cosplay was Mukuro Ikusaba, since Mukuro's Junko disguise was not presented during Tsumugi's cosplay frenzy in Chapter 6.
- Tsumugi's characterization is criticized and disliked mainly for being a bland and soulless knockoff of Junko, acting as a mere agent of Team Danganronpa, and being one of the weaker masterminds when compared to Junko and Izuru Kamukura. This could have been because of Tsumugi being out of focus for a majority of the game as well as her lack of any real contributions during the daily lives and class trials, and trying too hard with her façade of being a plain girl, thus causing her reveal to feel like it came out of nowhere or came off as predictable, depending on the person. She is also the least favorite character in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony on characters' popularity poll.
