Alter Ego

**Alter Ego** (アルターエゴ *Arutā Ego*) is an artificial intelligence featured in *Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc*. They assume the avatar of their creator, Chihiro Fujisaki.

## Appearance

In *Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc* Alter Ego projects themself with face of their creator, Chihiro; but they are able to turn their avatar into anyone else that they want to be such as Mondo Owada. They also have a green color scheme and multiple applications on their desktop.

In the anime their appearance is mostly the same, but they have more details on their laptop's background such as the Hope's Peak Academy Logo.
In *Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair* their avatar is a floating black monolith, with a red outline of Chihiro (and later Makoto) and red text appearing on it.

## Personality

Alter Ego is a friendly AI whose personality resembles that of Chihiro, their creator. When portraying another person, Alter Ego can change their personality to fit that person. For example, during their first meeting, Alter Ego mimics Mondo Owada's appearance and personality for Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

It appears that Alter Ego is able to experience a form of "happiness", as seen when they are able to help Kiyotaka get out of mute state, and when they are able to help the students by decrypting files and learning more about the Killing School Life

They also seem to have some form of "determination", evident when Alter Ego still wishes to help even after getting the files from the laptop; and later, also showing bravery as they are unconcerned for their safety when it comes to helping others despite knowing the dangers, such as being discovered by Monokuma.

## Quotes

*Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc* (English)

**Chapter 3:**

* "Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Chihiro Fujisaki... Eheh... I always get so embarrassed introducing myself."
* "Umm...it's gonna be a while. But I'm definitely gonna do it, so you can just leave it to me!"
* "Actually, I can see what's going on using my built-in webcam, so if anyone suspicious shows up... ...I'll just scream for help real loud!"
* "I see... To be honest, I knew all along... I knew the chances that Master would survive this situation were very low... So...I was prepared for this moment..."
* "Do you hold yourself responsible...? If Master could talk now, I think this is what he would say... Please, live your life for the both of us. It's impossible for me now, but you can still survive and escape—all of you."
* "I'm doing my best, so please wait just a while longer...!"

**Impersonating Mondo Owada:**

* "You're not letting yourself get crushed under the weight of that responsibility, are you!? A man's only worth as much as the load he can carry! You get it, right bro? Hell, what am I saying? Of course ya do!"
* "So you're just gonna stand there, huh? Just wait for things to get better? Just take your time and get all depressed... Take the time to indulge your regrets... You might even start walking again without realizing it. Sure, that kind of mediocre thinking might work for some people."

**Chapter 4:**

* "I see... Certainly I knew that was a possibility, but... ...it really happened. ... Oh, sorry... There's no point in me getting depressed over things I can't do anything about..."
* "You said my job was done, right? But...to just stop here... Saying I've finished my work... I don't want that! I want to keep being helpful to everyone. I want to work as hard as everyone else so that we can all get out of here! That's...what Master would want, too. So...to help everyone else... To solve the mystery of this school... The only way I can help is if you connect me to this school's network! I realize how dangerous it could be. But still...I have to do this."
* "I'm scared, but...I can handle it. I...don't really undersand why, but... When I think about everyone else, my courage starts to grow...! You might think I'm just some inhuman AI, but it's true! So...it's okay. If it's for the sake of everyone else, I won't be afraid!"
* "Hey, are you guys...fighting? If it's about me, please don't. I...I want to believe in myself. I want to be able to say, "I know I can do this." So please...let me try!"
* "Just hold tight and put your faith in me!"
* "Friends...? Even...me? Thank you. Thank you, Makoto..."

*Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair* (English)

**Chapter 6:**

* "Um...I'm not quite a person... I'm a simply an artificial intelligence program. It would make me happy if you called me Alter Ego. That is the name my master gave me when he created me."
* "The Neo World Program serves only one purpose... It is used to make the real world a splendid one. I guess you can say...it's a program for creating hope."
* "If only I was more reliable... I wouldn't have lost my authority to a virus like this..."
* "It's been a while since I've spoken at length, but... It was important to talk to you. It...was worth waiting a long time here."
* "You guys have a weapon... A very powerful weapon... It all depends on how you guys use that weapon... The only thing I can do... ...is prevent the virus's invasion with all my might so you guys can use that weapon... The rest...is up to you all. Do your best..."

*TMNT X Pokemon*

* "Guys, I found the secret location of the Krang ship."
* "Hm... I have no information about X.A.N.A you're speaking of."
* "This is bad. If they do this then everyone in the all of the worlds are in major danger."
* "I can get into your private data but I won't do that. Instead I'll create your own Al so it can help you with everything you need."

## TMNT X Pokemon
