This article covers Nekomaru Nidai's Island Mode events, which feature in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. In this article you will find a guide to which trip options will give the best results, full transcripts of each trip, and transcripts of his Shot Through The Heart event and Island Mode ending.
After choosing where to go on a trip, Hajime will have a series of conversation topics to choose from. Depending on the option chosen, Hajime will receive a different response:
Best Option
1 heart
Good Option
½ heart
Bad Option
No hearts
Worst Option
No hearts
When getting close to 10 full hearts, Nekomaru's Shot Through The Heart event will be triggered, which will give Hajime an insight into Nekomaru's inner thoughts.
Achieving 10 hearts will unlock Nekomaru's ending at the end of Island Mode. On the 51st day of Island Mode, Hajime will be alone at the Beach with any characters that the player has earned full max reputation with. Talking to them will trigger a final dialogue choice option. If the player selects the correct answer, they will receive that character's special present - that character's underwear. This will also unlock a heart icon next to that character's picture's on subsequent playthroughs of Island Mode.
Trips[]
Jabberwock Park[]
All right, let's go running.
Hm, running is definitely the best way to train at a park! First, we'll start with a brisk 50 laps.
I'll do "it" to you whenever you want. That way you can push yourself to your limits without holding back!
C'mon! Don't hold back now!
I guess I have to do my best...
It looks like he had a really good time.
That statue looks suspicious...
Agreed. That statue is definitely in the way. If that wasn't there, we'd be able to use the ground more effectively...
If we're going to train, it might be better if we do it somewhere else.
I wasn't really planning to do that...
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
This looks like a great spot to nap.
Whaaaat!? Napping already!? In front of me...!?
If you have time for naps, then hurry up and start your work out!
Crap...I don't think things went too well...
All right, let's pick up the litter
What did you say...!? If you're really serious, I'll lend you a hand...
Now that that's decided, let's throw out that annoying statue first!
So he thinks that's trash, too...
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's sit down for now.
Oh! It's not a bad idea to sit down, relax, and talk about things every now and then! If you really want, I don't mind laying around either! I'll do "it" to you plenty of times!
We're obviously going to have a strict training session if I do that!
Training for what...?
It looks like he had a really good time.
The scenery is so nice…
Hmm, I suppose... This park seems to be missing something. There are no benches or playground equipment, just this weird statue.
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Speaking of parks, the bathroom...
Ngh...Now that you mention it, I'm suddenly feeling the urge... All right, let's strengthen our friendship by going together!
Gah-haha! There's no need to be embarrassed! I'm going straight to the stalls, after all!
C'mon, let's goooo!
So I can't even object...
It looks like he had a really good time.
Parks are all about baseball...
If we're just tossing a ball around, we could probably do it here. However, playing baseball in a park with no facilities is a breach of etiquette.
If only this island had batting cages...
I think you should give it up and focus your effort into training something else!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Parks are all about soccer...
I understand how you feel, but that's banned at a lot of places. I think it'd be good practice if this place was actually built for it.
Besides, there's no soccer ball here in the first place.
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Beach[]
Let's swim!
Oh! I've been waiting for that! Don't worry! I'll make you into a Olympic-level swimmer!
Now that that's decided, let's begin our special training!
I'll explain his misunderstanding to him later...
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's tan!
Oh, that kind of activity might be good every now and then! All right, I'll do "it" to you while I put oil on you!
C'mon, hurry up, take your clothes off, and lay down!
There's no reason for me to take off my swimsuit...
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Let's make a sand castle!
Hmmm... It might be useful for training for focus... But in your case, I think you should prioritize building more muscle.
It's not like this is really some kind of special training...
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Let's split some watermelons!
Ooooh! That might be a great work out!
Wearing a blindfold will sharpen your remaining senses, and open the door to a whole new sense... Truly, this special training is necessary for initiating the secret technique!
What secret technique...?
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's drop some coconuts.
Ohhh, that kind of training is perfect for a tropical island!
You can shake the tree with different attacks, and if that doesn't work, you can harvest them by climbing... What a practical training method!
I don't really know what I'd be training for, though...
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Let's play Capture the Flag.
How nostalgic...I used to play that alone when I was a kid ...
Ngh, I can't do this! I can’t help but feel overwhelmed by sentiment!
Alone...? I never expected Nekomaru to have a lonely childhood...
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Let's go running.
Ohhhh, running on the beach! That's my favorite situation!
If only the sun was rising or setting in the background, it would be perfect...
Well, all we have to do is just keep running until that happens! All right, let's get started then!
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's bury ourselves.
...In the sand? Hm, I'm not familiar with this style of training.
All right, Hajime. You can practice on me. So, do I have to get buried? Or do I have to bury you?
And you won't suffocate when you're buried under the sand...? I didn't think you were that hardcore...
No, it's nothing like that...
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Let's take our clothes off.
How proactive...No, you're rushing into things!
No matter what, we must always warm up our bodies first! C'mon, let's get started already!
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Library[]
I guess I should look at some photo books...
I see you understand! Photos of athletes can provide useful information!
Dancing muscles! Flying sweat! Muscles clashing against muscle!
Ohhhhhhhh! I can't get enough of this! Come on, let's go look around!
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's read some comic books...
Oh, comic books are great every now and then!
Stories about achieving victory through friendship and hard work always warm my heart...
All right, now that that's decided, I'll give you my recommendation!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
I guess I should read some novels...
You won't win your matches reading such tiny print! If you're gonna read, read technical books or exciting sports comics!
Crap...I don't think things went too well...
All right, let's work out.
Oh...I see you understand! You can read about the most recent training methods here and immediately put them into practice. By utilizing the desks and chairs, you can broaden your training and kill three birds with one stone!
This sort of thing would get us banned from a normal library, but nobody's going to complain here!
Now then, let's focus on training as much as we want!
It looks like he had a really good time.
All right, let's run.
What did you say!? Running in this building...? Hm, with this many obstacles, it'd be quite a heated course.
All right! Let's get going then!
We'll start with something light. 50 laps inside the building!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
All right, let's go home.
Whaaaaaat!? But we just got here! I was planning to do plenty of studying with you... How unfortunate.
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Do you want to do some studying?
Damn right! That's why it was worth coming here.
Regularly gathering new information and developing new training methods are the duties of a manager. At times, you need to study diligently at your desk.
So let's devote lots of time and energy to studying today!
It looks like he had a really good time.
I'm starting to get sleepy...
What? How lazy of you. As an athlete, you're required to sit at a desk and learn the basics.
Now that you know, hurry up and sit down!
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
I'm bored.
How can you be bored when there are so many books here...? You don't understand anything at all.
I'm going to have you follow me around all day today. Now then, first we'll review recent sports theories!
Crap...I don't think things went too well...
Movie Theater[]
I'm going to go to the bathroom...
Oh, that's it! I nearly forgot about it like a fool! If I don't take care of it now, something terrible is going to happen...
Let's go, Hajime! We have to have our strategy meeting before the big game!
Strategy for what...?
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's sit at the very front.
Hmm, I've always wanted to try that at least once, but it always caused trouble for the other customers...
Hm!? I just realized we're the only ones here...
All right, if that's the case, it's decided! I will show no mercy and sit in the front now!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
I might fall asleep in the middle...
You have a lot of growing to do...! Why are you so negative before we've even begun!? Show some spirit and let's go!
Crap... I don't think things went too well...
A sports movie...
Oh, that's actually perfect for us! A man going off to compete, while being supported from the sidelines by the one watching over him...
A moving story like that can't be watched without choking up!
This is the path we are going to advance on together! Let's watch it for future reference!
When did we decide on a path...?
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's watch an action movie.
Ooooh, an action movie! That's worth watching! It's boring to watch complicated movies, or movies that don't have much happening on the screen...
If worse comes to worse, even if the story is boring, as long as I can enjoy some human drama, it’s all right!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Wanna watch a horror movie?
A horror movie, huh... I don't really understand why feeling "fear" is supposed to be "fun"...
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
It's all about the salty flavor!
Agreed! Consuming salt is important! You can get out of nearly any situation as long as there's salt.
Instead of salt flavoring, I wouldn't mind if you went with salt itself!
I actually want popcorn...
It looks like he had a really good time.
Curry-flavored, huh...
Curry flavor, eh...? That almighty food is always necessary when training together. It's also my favorite food!
But regardless, I think tasting curry while you're watching a movie is a bit much...
I agree with that, too...
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Maybe caramel for a change of pace...
Controlling your sugar intake is also important... But I prefer chocolate instead of caramel.
There's chocolate-flavored popcorn...?
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Amusement Park[]
All right, let's dash!
Hold it, hold it! No dashing inside the park! However, it seems that there's no one here except us...
All right, we're not going to dash, but let's do some running instead!
I didn't mean it like that...
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
We could get lost here.
Hmm, there are a lot of similar-looking buildings...
Well, if we do get lost, we'll deal with that when that happens. Eventually, we'll be able to get out of here. Fortunately, this place has a lot of equipment that we can use for training!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
It looks exhausting.
Whaaaat!? How lazy! You'll never go on every ride in one day with that attitude!
Crap... I don't think things went too well...
Let's ride the carousel.
Yes, it's good to start from there. Despite my appearance, my heart is quite delicate. I need to warm up my body before I do anything.
Now then, let's go look for which one we want to ride!
You really didn't need to say that last part...
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's go inside the haunted house.
Whaaaat!? A haunted house!?
Hm, so that's what you came here for. Ghosts are not worth being afraid of... But I'm worried about the burden on my heart if they suddenly come at us...
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Let's ride the rollercoaster!
Wh-Whaaaat!? Without doing any warm-up exercises first!?
Hm... I hope my heart can take it...
Crap... I don't think things went too well...
Let the games begin!
Damn right! That's the spirit!
A battle with an amusement park is a battle with time... You'll need a detailed plan and quick reflexes. But you'll be completely fine! Don't be afraid and give it your all!
Even if you run out of energy, I'll do "it" to you so don't worry!
Now then, let's give it everything we’ve got and conquer every ride here!
It looks like he had a really good time.
Where's the mascot?
I see... So that thing is the big boss of this place... Then we must give it our all and challenge it!
I'll definitely help you win so don't worry!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Let's climb that castle.
Its shape definitely makes me want to ascend it by foot... But I personally believe we should start conquering all the rides first.
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Military Base[]
All right, time for some pushups.
SIR, YESSIR!
...Wait, why am I the only one doing them!? Don't we have a shared responsibility? Let's do five sets of 30 together!
Now begin!
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
Alright, time for some situps.
Situps...? Situps, you say!?!?
What are you saying!? We obviously need to do pushups right now! If you ever do crunches on a hard surface like this, you'll hurt your back!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
All right, time to explore!
Hmm... I'm not really feeling it... If only this place had a workout facility or something.
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
I can't really relax here.
I agree. We can't even get any proper running done with all this stuff around here. Maybe there's a workout facility in here or something?
All right, let's go check it out!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Never mind. Let's go somewhere else.
What? We just came here and you're already going back? If I'd known you were going to do that, I would've just run a lap around the island...
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
This is a little exciting.
We're at a tropical island that's perfect for training, and you'd rather spend time in this place...? Hmm, I don't understand at all...
Crap... I don't think things went too well...
Let's look for food.
I see... Are you looking for rations? There might be protein supplements here, too...
Military-grade protein supplements... Hm, sounds devilish...
All right, let's start searching!
It looks like he had a really good time.
Let's look for fuel.
Hm, with fuel, we could even hold training sessions in the middle of the night... But it's always important to sleep at night so your body can recover.
I feel like he didn't have much fun...
Let's look for weapons.
What? Weapons? What do you need something like that for? As long as I'm alive, I'll never let you do anything that's a breach of regulation!
Crap... I don't think things went too well...
General Reactions[]
These dialogues are the reactions Hajime will receive at the end of the trip, depending on which choice was made.
Best Option
It's great to clear my mind and stretch out my legs every once in a while... Hajime, I'm grateful that you invited me.
I know! To thank you, I'll do "it" to you when we get back... A special menu version even!
Now that that's decided, let's hurry back to the hotel!
Good Option
I feel like I had a relaxing time, thanks to you. That date wasn't so bad, but I think you still have a lot of energy left.
All right, we should do one more thing before dinner, then take a bath together!
Now that that's decided, let’s run back to the hotel with all our might! Gahaha! Let's go, Hajime!
Bad Option
Hmmm... That date wasn't exciting at all... A detailed plan produces maximum results in both dating and training.
You won't make me fall for you if you act like this! Bye now!
Worst Option
Phew...I feel mentally exhausted for some strange reason... I'm going to go run around over there for a change of pace! Bye now!
Shot Through The Heart[]
Shot Through The Heart is a minigame in Island mode. It uses mechanics similar to the Non Stop Debate trial minigame during Class Trials. During this event, Hajime will get insight into Nekomaru's inner thoughts, and can refute or confirm something he is anxious about by using special Truth Bullets called "negation" and "affirmation". Successfully navigating this event is necessary to unlock Nekomaru's ending.
Transcript[]
Nekomaru's Shot Through The Heart
Maybe it's time for me to tell Hajime...
But it might still be too early...
It seems like he...
...doesn't trust me.
That's how I feel...
Instead of telling him and being avoided...
I might as well...
...keep my mouth shut.
That's how I feel...
Options[]
Negation: doesn't trust me
Nekomaru, I feel like you're a man I can believe in.
Hajime... I see, so that's what you believe!
All right, now that that's settled, let's cloister ourselves in the mountains! I'll make a top athlete!
Athlete of what...? And there aren't any mountains here in the first place.
Hm, you're right...
Then we'll do it after we get out of here! Ghhhhh, I can't wait to give it a try!
He's forceful as usual...
It looks like he had a really good time.
Negation: keep my mouth shut
Nekomaru, this isn't like you at all. If you have something to say, say it.
Ngh!? Wh-What's this all of a sudden!? I'm not planning anything!
I'm not thinking about abducting you and taking you to the mountains to do some special training!
I ended up hearing his scary plan...
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Affirmation: keep my mouth shut
I have a bad feeling about this so I'll just keep my mouth shut.
What do you mean, "a bad feeling"!? I was just planning to abduct you and train you in the mountains!
...Looks like my bad feeling was spot on.
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Affirmation: doesn't trust me
I already know you're amazing, but, you know, I... How should I put it...?
...I understand. There's no need to say anything.
Tch...
Crap... I don't think things went too well...
Nekomaru's Ending[]
If Hajime has achieved all 10 hearts by the 51st day of Island Mode, Hajime will unlock Nekomaru's ending.
Nekomaru's Island Mode Ending
Today is the last day we'll get to see this place together like this... Looking back on it, it was a pretty crazy survival experience...but it was fun, too. Regardless of everything that happened, nobody died.
It feels a little sad to think that this strange school trip is coming to an end. I really enjoyed the training camp vibe I got from this place. It was refreshing and interesting to see so many people who are good at so many different things.
Especially you, Hajime. I count myself lucky to have met a man as talented as yourself.
I'm...talented? But I don't have a special talent like everyone else.
Well, that's because you haven't realized it yet. Take it from a manager, my eyes are telling the truth! In fact, I think you're the one who brought this dream team together.
You are like a bud before it blossoms... And I would like to make that flower blossom with my own hands...
Seriously, please stop saying things that make my spine tingle...
...Hey, Hajime. During my time here, I've discovered something deep inside you...
Do you know what it is?
That's rather sudden, but I have no idea. Nekomaru's expectant stare is digging into me... I need to say something, even if it's just half-assed...
Talent
Do you mean I have some kind of talent...?
Hm, I guess you could call it that...but it's a little different.
Um, anything else...?
Love
Um, is it...love?
Whaaat!? Was that what it was...?
I see...so I actually...had feelings...for you...
H-Hold on! I'm just kidding! Seriously!
What the hell am I saying...? Um, anything else...?
Hope
Don't tell me it's something like...hope?
Hahaha, what are you blushing about!? That's it!
All this time, I've always felt like I was missing something...
However, I...finally met someone who has it... The resilience and fortitude that you naturally display...
You're someone I can invest all of my passion into!
H-Hold on, you're overestimating it!
No, that's not true! I've seen even your smallest efforts!
Stick with me and we won't just be able to take on the world, we'll take on space, too!
What are you planning to do in space...?
A-anyway, I don't really understand but that sounds impossible for me!
Gahahahahahaha! There's no need for boring modesty! You should feel more reassured! I've got your back, after all!
There's no need to worry. From now on, I'll do "it" to you any time...
Now then, as soon as we return, we'll begin our training!
Let's go Hajime! You and me, we'll go to the end of the universe!!!
...I feel like he just overpowered me, but since Nekomaru looks happy, I guess it's fine.
I can't really see myself as hope, but...when I'm with Nekomaru, I feel like I really can do anything. I don't know if what I'm feeling right now is hope, but I feel like I can move forward because of it. With this, our life at this tropical island has come to an end...
