Kubo Atsushi

> *"I don't know what they want." Kubo raked his nails over his hands. Blood beaded up, spreading over the skin. He jabbed his hand into his pocket, and brought the other up to his mouth. He gnawed on it, already tasting blood. "I don't know what they want, I don't know what they WANT!" His teeth sank into the flesh of his fingers. He closed his eyes against the sensation. "Nobody knows. I don't know, they don't know. We're all fine. We're all going to Hope's Peak." Oh. Right. Hope's Peak. He blinked his eyes open. Right right. He was here, at the academy. He'd been planning for this all morning. This was where he'd make friends. Where he'd see Kaoru again. He looked for his hand once more, but it was in his pocket. And in his pocket, he had his ID. He needed that to check into the gate. "Gate. Gate, gate..." He ran his hand over the screen. Panic attack was over. He inserted it. #ID237. How perfect. Safe, where he'd be reintegrated into society. He could have friends here. And Kaoru could too. This would all be fine now. Kubo Atsushi. The Ultimate Detective. What a nice title. Nobody would judge him for it... His nails dug into his palm. He pushed the gate with his free hand. It opened easy. Not a creak to be heard. He smiled and continued through." - Kubo Atsushi's introduction post.*

Kubo Atsushi is a male character in Danganronpa: Blood And Water. He's the Ultimate Detective, a talent which he was very insistent upon hiding, possibly to protect himself. A very introverted and fidgety character, he tends to hold others at a distance, and therefore, seems to refrain from forming strong attachments to members of the cast. Noticeably, however, he has a certain unknown past with Kaoru Kajiwara.

## Personality

Kubo Atsushi acts like a nervous, and fidgety person on the surface, seemingly lacking in self-confidence, and rather shy. In reality, he's more a reserved and private person, who doesn't want to develop close attachments to others. He seems a tad neurotic and pessimistic, commonly making negative assumptions about people, based on how he perceives them.

He's seemingly very blunt and logical, and very no-nonsense. However, he doesn't act like this on the surface. He portrays himself as someone very polite. He's quite intelligent and cool-headed, entirely unshaken from seeing dead bodies. However, he seems to be fearful of Kaoru. It's suggestible the two of them had a negative past together, especially by Kaoru's telling everyone to kill him.

Kubo seems to have a dislike for when people are inauthentic or "fake", given by how he feels about Kaoru, and how he thinks of Lucian. Ironically, he seems to be rather vague in terms of talking about himself. God, what a f\*\*king hypocrite. I love him. (THIS WAS NOT WRITTEN WITH ANY BIAS WHATSOEVER!)

Kubo is generally a very serious person, one who rarely jokes around. He tends to be a tad paranoid when it comes to people, being very careful of what he does around them. However, it's possible he may be less serious with those he feels more comfortable around.

## Fun Facts

* He struggles with sports.
* It's been confirmed by Serendibite that Kubo shops obsessively at Hot Topic.
* He apparently paints his nails underneath his gloves.
* Kubo has sent a lot of people off to their deaths.
* Kubo has incredibly high expectations when it comes to love, and people. This is possibly due to his past with Kaoru. Damn, what the hell did these two do to each other?
* In a totally existent interview, Dorky confirmed that Kubo Atsushi is his second-favorite character in Danganronpa: Blood and Water.
* His last name, Atsushi, eerily correlates with Niwa Atsushi's surname, the mastermind of the previous game. The two of them also seem to share a correlation when it comes to serving justice. *Oh boy.*
* He frequently mutters to himself while looking at his hands.
