DRAMAtical Murder Walkthrough (All Endings)

This is my version of the walkthrough, be warned, there are unmarked spoilers.

Introduction

Noiz has multiple endings, each one is listed separately. Bad End 1: – Yes – No, we can’t. – No matter what. – Ever. – Because it’s wrong. – Because it’s just wrong – The real world

Bad End 2: – Yes – No, we can’t. – No matter what. – Ever. – Because it’s wrong. – Because it’s just wrong – A comfortable world.

Bad End 3: – No

Good End: + Yes + No, we can’t. + No matter what. + Ever. + Because we can’t. + Because it’s not over yet. + That’s not up to us. + Use your brain. + I’m…

In this part of the route, you need to answer trivia about Ren, to get the good end, answer correctly, to get the bad end, answer incorrectly. x means the answer is no, and o means the answer is yes.

Ren is not a boy = x Ren is a boy = o I love Aoba = o Ren calls me Aoba = o Ren is a big dog = x Ren is like family to me = o Ren is a big dog = x Ren likes Clara = x Ren’s eyes are brown = x Ren bites me all the time = x Ren’s tongue is pink = o Ren is an old model = o Ren dislikes Clara = o Ren’s collar has a star charm on it = x Ren is fluffy = o Ren’s fur is dark blue = o I need Aoba = o I worry when Aoba isn’t with me = o The pads of Ren’s paws are pink = o Ren first saw Aoba’s face five years ago = x Ren eats Granny’s food with me = x

Final notes

It is a simple guide, but it should be of some help. Again, I would save at the choices that determine if it is a good or bad end. If you right click, even when the choices are up, the menu will pop up. You can then either quick save or, as I would recommend, open the save/load menu. If you think you made a mistake at the last choice, you can also select “return to previous choice”.

yo, this guide is very helpful, but i have a question. How do you get Ren’s route? I currently have the Dramatical Murder (not the ‘re;connect’ one) so I was really dumbfounded when no choices like those popped up

Remember, it won’t count the end unless you watch through the credits

You have to complete all the other routes firstly, then, after that, new choices will appear when you start a new game. Then you can follow the guide to get Ren’s ending

Here’s what to do if you catch COVID on vacation

Packing for a trip these days looks a lot different than it did a few years ago. Now in addition to your passport, medication, and sufficient underwear, you’ll want to throw a few at-home COVID tests in your luggage as well. At least that’s what medical experts are recommending as people set out for the busiest summer travel season since the global pandemic hit two years ago.

“The biggest key is prevention and protection,” warns Dr. Michelle Prickett, associate professor of pulmonary and critical care medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a Northwestern Medicine physician. “If you’re not vaccinated, now is the time. Anyone over the age of 50 or anyone with chronic medical conditions should have their second booster as well. Think about where you’re going and how you can limit interaction with others to have a safe trip.”

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , you should not travel if you have COVID-19 symptoms, test positive, or are awaiting test results. If you test positive, you’re not supposed to travel “until a full 10 days after your symptoms started or the date your positive test was taken if you had no symptoms.” Additionally, if your test comes back positive while you are at your destination, “you will need to isolate and postpone your return until it’s safe for you to travel.” Plus, your travel companions may also need to quarantine.

But people aren’t exactly following the rules—whether it be due to the costs of extending their hotel stays and/or rescheduling flights or the inability to take additional time off from work—and are traveling anyway.

What do you need to know before you go? We talked to a few experts to find out.

Be prepared

While you’re in the booking stages of your trip, check with your airline and accommodations to see what their COVID policies are and what would happen if you need to cancel your trip for health reasons. As an extra precaution, consider purchasing travel insurance. 

As your group’s planning the itinerary for your trip, you’ll also want to have a frank discussion to ensure you’re all on the same page with safety precautions, such as being up-to-date with vaccinations, limiting high-risk activity in the days leading up to the trip, and wearing masks while on the trip.

“It’s about a group of people agreeing to be careful because you share risk when you’re with other people. It’s about shared risk and shared responsibility,” notes Dr. Preeti Malani, a professor of medicine at the University of Michigan and an infectious disease specialist. “And I think most people are really thoughtful about this. They want to get together and keep their families safe.”

In addition to extra tests, masks, and a thermometer, Malani recommends keeping a readily available list of your healthcare providers’ contact information and an up-to-date list of your current medications because of potential drug interactions.

“If you have high-risk medical conditions, being careful about the kind of trip you’re going on is important, too,” she cautions. “You don’t want to be too far or too remote and you’ll want to figure out ahead of time which hospitals are in your area as there are lots of parts of the country where there’s no ICU care.”

You’ll also want to discuss a contingency plan for what happens if someone in your party does contract the virus while traveling and research healthcare facilities, urgent care, and pharmacies, at your destination in case you need treatment. 

Be cautious

While traveling, doctors recommend you social distance as much as possible and continue to wear high-quality masks, such as an N95 or KN95, in order to stave off infection.

“This is about mitigating risks, not eliminating them. There’s not one thing that takes care of all risks,” explains Malani. “But when you layer those things like vaccination, testing, and being thoughtful about mask wearing, it can help bring the risks down.”

But if you start experiencing COVID symptoms , you’ll want to take a COVID test as soon as possible. Timing is of the essence when it comes to getting proper treatment, if needed, says experts.

“The sooner you get a diagnosis, the sooner you can potentially get some therapeutics and look into the options that are available at your destination,” says Prickett. “So have a high level of suspicion, wear your mask, get tested, and then retested if symptoms persist.”

Be courteous 

If you happen to contract COVID while traveling, isolate yourself from the rest of your party as soon as possible and try to extend your stay.

“There is ideal and there is reality. Ideally, have a separate room, separate bathroom, and [if you] can potentially extend your stay. Anyone exposed should monitor themselves for symptoms, test, and wear a mask around other people given increased risk of infection,” explains Malani. “That said, some people may not be able to do this.”

If you’re unable to book a private room, Malani recommends wearing masks in the room for both the infected and uninfected people.

“If a close household contact has COVID, it’s going to be hard to avoid spread especially if you are sharing a hotel room—it just depends on how susceptible other people are to infection,” she says. “Best bet is to isolate anyone who develops symptoms, even mild ones, and put on masks.”

Should your child become sick while traveling, the same rules apply: test, try to isolate, limit exposures. If the child is old enough to wear a mask, they should do so and the caregiver should wear one as well.

The highest risk for infection is during those first five days, but that doesn’t mean you don’t need to be diligent afterward. 

“After those first five days, you can start to do things, but the masking should be really, really tight. You have to be really strict about it,” says Dr. Mark Loafman, a Cook County Health family physician in Chicago, who specializes in infectious disease outbreaks, public health, healthcare research, and health policy. If it’s a three-hour flight, don’t take the mask off.” Even if doing so garners a few stares at the airport.

“We just need to be vigilant and be confident that we are doing the right thing and not let peer pressure or social pressure stop us from doing the right thing. It really isn’t that big of a burden to wear a mask,” continues Loafman. “I just encourage people to continue following the guidance and be a role model and do things right. COVID is going to be with us for a while and this is just going to be a way of moving forward.”

Malani agrees and wants to ensure people are able to gather and travel safely.

“After a couple of years of not being able to do the things that are really important to us, this is a good time to try and do it. With a bit of planning and thought from everyone involved, you can do this safely,” she says. “There’s not going to be a magic moment in the coming months where the risk is completely gone. And it’s going to be higher and lower sometimes, but there’s no time like now to do the things that are important to us.”

• COVID-19 travel advice

Considering travel during the pandemic? Take precautions to protect yourself from COVID-19.

A coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine can prevent you from getting COVID-19 or from becoming seriously ill due to COVID-19 . But even if you're vaccinated, it's still a good idea to take precautions to protect yourself and others while traveling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If you've had all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses, including boosters, you're less likely to become seriously ill or spread COVID-19 . You can then travel more safely within the U.S. and internationally. But international travel can still increase your risk of getting new COVID-19 variants.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that you should avoid travel until you've had all recommended COVID-19 vaccine and booster doses.

Before you travel

As you think about making travel plans, consider these questions:

• Have you been vaccinated against COVID-19 ? If you haven't, get vaccinated. If the vaccine requires two doses, wait two weeks after getting your second vaccine dose to travel. If the vaccine requires one dose, wait two weeks after getting the vaccine to travel. It takes time for your body to build protection after any vaccination.
• Have you had any booster doses? Having all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses, including boosters, increases your protection from serious illness.
• Are you at increased risk for severe illness? Anyone can get COVID-19 . But older adults and people of any age with certain medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19 .
• Do you live with someone who's at increased risk for severe illness? If you get infected while traveling, you can spread the COVID-19 virus to the people you live with when you return, even if you don't have symptoms.
• Does your home or destination have requirements or restrictions for travelers? Even if you've had all recommended vaccine doses, you must follow local, state and federal testing and travel rules.

Check local requirements, restrictions and situations

Some state, local and territorial governments have requirements, such as requiring people to wear masks, get tested, be vaccinated or stay isolated for a period of time after arrival. Before you go, check for requirements at your destination and anywhere you might stop along the way.

Keep in mind these can change often and quickly depending on local conditions. It's also important to understand that the COVID-19 situation, such as the level of spread and presence of variants, varies in each country. Check back for updates as your trip gets closer.

Travel and testing

For vaccinated people.

If you have been fully vaccinated, the CDC states that you don't need to get tested before or after your trip within the U.S. or stay home (quarantine) after you return.

If you're planning to travel internationally outside the U.S., the CDC states you don't need to get tested before your trip unless it's required at your destination. Before arriving to the U.S., you need a negative test within the last day before your arrival or a record of recovery from COVID-19 in the last three months.

After you arrive in the U.S., the CDC recommends getting tested with a viral test 3 to 5 days after your trip. If you're traveling to the U.S. and you aren't a citizen, you need to be fully vaccinated and have proof of vaccination.

You don't need to quarantine when you arrive in the U.S. But check for any symptoms. Stay at home if you develop symptoms.

For unvaccinated people

Testing before and after travel can lower the risk of spreading the virus that causes COVID-19 . If you haven't been vaccinated, the CDC recommends getting a viral test within three days before your trip. Delay travel if you're waiting for test results. Keep a copy of your results with you when you travel.

Repeat the test 3 to 5 days after your trip. Stay home for five days after travel.

If at any point you test positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 , stay home. Stay at home and away from others if you develop symptoms. Follow public health recommendations.

Stay safe when you travel

In the U.S., you must wear a face mask on planes, buses, trains and other forms of public transportation. The mask must fit snugly and cover both your mouth and nose.

Follow these steps to protect yourself and others when you travel:

• Get vaccinated.
• Keep distance between yourself and others (within about 6 feet, or 2 meters) when you're in indoor public spaces if you're not fully vaccinated. This is especially important if you have a higher risk of serious illness.
• Avoid contact with anyone who is sick or has symptoms.
• Avoid crowds and indoor places that have poor air flow (ventilation).
• Don't touch frequently touched surfaces, such as handrails, elevator buttons and kiosks. If you must touch these surfaces, use hand sanitizer or wash your hands afterward.
• Wear a face mask in indoor public spaces. The CDC recommends wearing the most protective mask possible that you'll wear regularly and that fits. If you are in an area with a high number of new COVID-19 cases, wear a mask in indoor public places and outdoors in crowded areas or when you're in close contact with people who aren't vaccinated.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
• Cover coughs and sneezes.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
• If soap and water aren't available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub your hands together until they feel dry.
• Don't eat or drink on public transportation. That way you can keep your mask on the whole time.

Because of the high air flow and air filter efficiency on airplanes, most viruses such as the COVID-19 virus don't spread easily on flights. Wearing masks on planes has likely helped lower the risk of getting the COVID-19 virus on flights too.

However, air travel involves spending time in security lines and airport terminals, which can bring you in close contact with other people. Getting vaccinated and wearing a mask when traveling can help protect you from COVID-19 while traveling.

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has increased cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces and equipment, including bins, at screening checkpoints. TSA has also made changes to the screening process:

• Travelers must wear masks during screening. However, TSA employees may ask travelers to adjust masks for identification purposes.
• Travelers should keep a distance of 6 feet apart from other travelers when possible.
• Instead of handing boarding passes to TSA officers, travelers should place passes (paper or electronic) directly on the scanner and then hold them up for inspection.
• Each traveler may have one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 ounces (about 350 milliliters) in a carry-on bag. These containers will need to be taken out for screening.
• Personal items such as keys, wallets and phones should be placed in carry-on bags instead of bins. This reduces the handling of these items during screening.
• Food items should be carried in a plastic bag and placed in a bin for screening. Separating food from carry-on bags lessens the likelihood that screeners will need to open bags for inspection.

Be sure to wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds directly before and after going through screening.

Public transportation

If you travel by bus or train and you aren't vaccinated, be aware that sitting or standing within 6 feet (2 meters) of others for a long period can put you at higher risk of getting or spreading COVID-19 . Follow the precautions described above for protecting yourself during travel.

Even if you fly, you may need transportation once you arrive at your destination. You can search car rental options and their cleaning policies on the internet. If you plan to stay at a hotel, check into shuttle service availability.

If you'll be using public transportation and you aren't vaccinated, continue physical distancing and wearing a mask after reaching your destination.

Hotels and other lodging

The hotel industry knows that travelers are concerned about COVID-19 and safety. Check any major hotel's website for information about how it's protecting guests and staff. Some best practices include:

• Enhanced cleaning procedures
• Physical distancing recommendations indoors for people who aren't vaccinated
• Mask-wearing and regular hand-washing by staff
• Mask-wearing indoors for guests in public places in areas that have high cases of COVID-19
• Vaccine recommendations for staff
• Isolation and testing guidelines for staff who've been exposed to COVID-19
• Contactless payment
• Set of rules in case a guest becomes ill, such as closing the room for cleaning and disinfecting
• Indoor air quality measures, such as regular system and air filter maintenance, and suggestions to add air cleaners that can filter viruses and bacteria from the air

Vacation rentals, too, are enhancing their cleaning procedures. They're committed to following public health guidelines, such as using masks and gloves when cleaning, and building in a waiting period between guests.

Make a packing list

When it's time to pack for your trip, grab any medications you may need on your trip and these essential safe-travel supplies:

• Alcohol-based hand sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol)
• Disinfectant wipes (at least 70% alcohol)
• Thermometer

Considerations for people at increased risk

Anyone can get very ill from the virus that causes COVID-19 . But older adults and people of any age with certain medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness. This may include people with cancer, serious heart problems and a weakened immune system. Getting the recommended COVID-19 vaccine and booster doses can help lower your risk of being severely ill from COVID-19 .

Travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19 . If you're unvaccinated, staying home is the best way to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 . If you must travel and aren't vaccinated, talk with your health care provider and ask about any additional precautions you may need to take.

Remember safety first

Even the most detailed and organized plans may need to be set aside when someone gets ill. Stay home if you or any of your travel companions:

• Have signs or symptoms, are sick or think you have COVID-19
• Are waiting for results of a COVID-19 test
• Have been diagnosed with COVID-19
• Have had close contact with someone with COVID-19 in the past five days and you're not up to date with your COVID-19 vaccines

If you've had close contact with someone with COVID-19 , get tested after at least five days. Wait to travel until you have a negative test. Wear a mask if you travel up to 10 days after you've had close contact with someone with COVID-19 .

DRAMAtical Murder re:code , a Play Station Vita remake (with one more route) of the original game tailored for a younger audience, was released on October 30, 2014.

Some time ago, Midorijima, an island southwest of Japan, was purchased by the highly influential Toue Company. Their plan was to build a high-tech luxury amusement facility called Platinum Jail, for the exclusive perusal for all those rich enough around the world to afford it. Of course, the original inhabitants of the island got screwed in the process. What coexistence there once was between Midorijima's people and the lush natural environment prevalent throughout was abruptly cut off. All those who didn't leave the island at Toue Company's suggestion were eventually forced to move to a corner of the island called the Old Resident District. All those who have stayed cannot leave, unless they receive Toue's permission. The Toue Company won't give that permission anytime soon, as punishment from the head of the company who was highly annoyed at the more stubborn locals. Soon after development on Platinum Jail completed, Toue abandoned the former residents of the island outright.

Twenty years in the future, in Midorijima, an island southwest of Japan, a guy named Aoba lives with his tough-as-nails doctor granny, Tae, and his dog-type AllMate note  a form of AI who work primarily as information networks, and implicitly, companions for those who have them , Ren. Aoba's always found it odd how dropping his voice to a certain inflection could drive people to call up Heibon, the shop he's working at, to hear it again and again, buying Heibon's mechanical goods every time. But hey, it does its job, so why not make use of it? Sadly, said power can't really help him with that trio of rambunctious children that always show up at the store just to make a mess. He also has to contend with his unusual friends that are involved in gang activity that he's long since left behind. His life is an amicable one, although as with all who've been left to carry their lives out in the Old Resident District in the years of Toue's acquisition of Midorijima, it is by no means prosperous. In those ensuing years, a game called "Ribsteez" (also known as "Rib") rose in popularity, in which gangs of young men would go out of their way to engage in turf wars against one another. More recently, another competitor have been taking over people's interests; a game called "Rhyme," whose participants and their watchers scatter throughout the city to engage in fights that unfold on a virtual reality but are seen right before their eyes. Anyone can play "Rhyme" if they have an AllMate and the fights are mediated and started by Usui, a judge with a female appearance and a male voice who randomly appears to signal the start of a match. Recently, a trend of "drive-by" matches have started, where people can force others into a "Rhyme" match with no mediation by Usui and most dangerously, any injuries taken during the game can impact the player's health in real life.

Aoba just wants to keep the peaceful life he shares with Tae and Ren, but the accidental download of a mysterious 8-bit game called "Silent Oath" and getting caught in a drive-by "Rhyme" game leads to any real chance of normalcy in his life going out the window...

DRAMAtical Murder provides examples of the following tropes:

• Abhorrent Admirer : Yoshie, the woman working at the delivery office, really likes Aoba. Her AllMate , Clara, seems to have the hots for Ren. Aoba and Ren, on the other hand, try to escape ASAP.
• Affably Evil : Trip and Virus, once they reveal themselves as the leaders of Morphine.
• Affectionate Gesture to the Head : Aoba and Ren would bump their foreheads together every now and then as a good luck charm. Even after Ren becomes human, they would still continue to do this.
• Aroused by Their Voice : A number of characters comment on it in-universe. Aoba weaponizes it to make sales, and it also comes in use in other crucial situations.
• Artificial Human : Aoba (and by extension Ren) and Sei were created by Toue for the purpose of researching the uses of their powers.
• Artificial Intelligence : AllMate have programmable personalities to be set by the user, and have a good degree of AI involved. Clear and the Alphas count as well, since they're robots .
• Art Shift : Toward the end of the common route, the art briefly switches to a comic-book style when Clear punches out some of the brainwashed mooks.
• Attempted Rape : Done traumatically to Aoba, which brings his Superpowered Evil Side to surface and put a stop to.
• Authority Equals Asskicking : Many of the main characters are gang leaders or whatnot, and very capable in combat. Koujaku, leader of Beni-shigure easily fends off many mooks with his sword. Mink, head of Scratch, knocks out three at once with one punch. Noiz, the leader of Ruff Rabbit, fought a bunch of Yakuza without much stress and claimed he would have won, if he hadn't been interrupted.
• The Bad Guy Wins : In the bad endings, Aoba isn't able to succeed in using Scrap properly, and is thusly unable to both defeat Toue and save his love interest. In the bad ending epilogues, Toue's Evil Plan succeeding is usually acknowledged in passing.
• In the beginning of the game, Aoba and Ren get dragged into a Rhyme match with a person wearing a rabbit head who is later revealed to have been Noiz .
• In the secret route, Aoba must face a berserk Ren in his mind .
• Aoba when pushed into it; more-so when on the routes of those with a more active mentality.
• Ren , who has the most brutal bad end of any of the love interests.
• Beware the Quiet Ones : Ren is the one who executes Aoba's Rhyme commands , after all. Let's not forget his own bad end , either.
• Big Damn Heroes : Happens on the true route when Aoba is about to pass out from being beaten up by Virus and Trip, and his friends all burst into the scene to rescue him .
• Big "SHUT UP!" : Aoba loudly tells the rest of the group to cut it out when they start to engage in petty back-and-forths.
• On an overall scale, one of Aoba's potential love interests is going to get their happy ending, but at the expense of everyone else's, since their issues are left unresolved in the aftermath.
• Clear's route is this, when taking the events from re:connect and the drama CD into account. While Clear was restored after he self-destructed at the end of the first game , in the sequel, both Aoba and Clear openly acknowledge that as a human and an android, Clear will be left alone once Aoba dies . But then the drama CD hints that it may actually be Clear who may expire first, since his systems could not be completely repaired and he's at risk of breaking or shutting down once again, or worse, rebooting and thus lose his memories. In the end, both Clear and Aoba promise to "rest together", but until the day comes when one of them will die (and the other will follow suit), they'll make the best of the time that they still have .
• In Noiz's route, said character is hypnotized using Dye Music and is sent to defeat Aoba.
• One of the main conflicts in the common route has Mizuki and Dry Juice being subjected to this, courtesy of Morphine .
• Also happens to Akushima in Noiz and Mink 's routes.
• Subverted with Clear , where the way to get his good ending is to not mind control him .
• Inverted with Toue, a villain whose aim is to brainwash everyone on the island for the purposes of creating a utopia/dystopia.
• There's Mizuki, the leader of Dry Juice who's desperately trying to keep his team together and ultimately joins the mysterious Rib team Morphine, which leads to him and his team getting brainwashed and him kidnapping Aoba's grandmother. When Aoba tries to use Scrap on him, he fails and Mizuki all but breaks and ends up in a coma .
• Koujaku grew up being abused by his father and watching his mother be abused, and he was forced to get tattoos by Ryuuhou as part of his training to become a yakuza boss. However, the tattoos fed his anger and led him to commit total genocide on the entire compound, including his own mother. In his drama CD, it's revealed that Koujaku's been suffering from depression for nearly twelve years .
• Noiz can't feel any physical sensation, and rather than helping him, he was locked away by his parents . Even worse, they even said that he shouldn't have been born right within earshot . This has led to him engaging in Rhyme battles just to try and feel pain, even if it's simulated .
• Koujaku's Bad Ending: After failing with Scrap, which results in the tattoos taking over Koujaku's mind and turning him into a bloodthirsty monster, Aoba feels so horrible for failing and completely gives up, allowing Desire to take over completely. From then on, Aoba is now Shiroba: a masochistic, extremely messed-up version of Aoba who gets off on mentally breaking people and having extremely violent and bloody sex with Koujaku .
• Noiz's Bad Ending: When he fails with Scrap, Aoba is trapped in Noiz's mind along with the latter. If that wasn't enough, every touch between them causes severely painful and horrifically bloody lacerations to cut across their bodies, which causes incredible agony. And despite Aoba's pleas for Noiz to stop and to snap out of it, Noiz refuses .
• Mink's Bad Ending: Aoba not only makes the mistake in interfering with the events being shown in Scrap, but he ends up decapitated .
• Clear's Bad Ending: After failing Scrap, Clear breaks down and both him and Aoba are taken away. While Aoba is constantly experimented on, Clear is repaired but reprogrammed into becoming less human and more robotic. Clear then proceeds to not only remove Aoba's eyes, but also his limbs to get rid of his free will. Aoba even gives up at this point, deciding that if turning into a doll is what will make Clear happy, then so be it .
• Ren's Bad Ending: Dear God . When Aoba fails to avoid the literal blue screen of death, Ren loses all forms of reason and decides to "become one with Aoba". Aoba is then attacked and raped over and over again while being devoured alive, making for a truly painful scene in re:connect . But what really drives it home is that despite everything, Aoba still doesn't hate Ren, and even apologizes to him as he's dying .
• Bullet Time : Clear has one and only one instance in which he assumes a deep and commanding voice, during the common route, and it may or may not be due to Bullet Time — Clear: MAAAA-SUUUUU-TAAAA......
• Call-Back : In his route, Clear remembers that umbrellas are used in the rain .
• And amongst the auxiliary cast, there are females, even if it's one of the Bratty Half-Pint trio and a gossipy and quite hammy forty-something-year-old woman that Aoba frequently delivers to and both he and Ren would like to avoid (for wearing of having to speak with her AllMate , who likes him and who the lady obviously ships with him).
• Caught in the Rain : In Clear 's route, it starts raining just before Clear confesses his feelings for Aoba and gives him a kiss.
• Celebrity Paradox : In the April Fools' radio drama, Aoba says that he's a huge fan of GOATBED, which is the composer of this game's music. Mizuki is also a fan of them.
• Chekhov's Gun : In Noiz's route, both Aoba and Noiz are dragged into a Drive-By battle with another Rhymer. Noiz then checks up Ren later on, revealing to Aoba that the Drive-By resulted in Ren getting a bug that Noiz was able to remove in time before anything happened. Then in the secret route, the same scenario happens, but without Noiz, Aoba isn't able to have the bug removed, which ends up in Ren regaining his lost memories. As the bug begins to corrupt his mind, Ren is then thrown into further emotional turmoil .
• Color-Coded Characters : Aoba's color being sky blue, Koujaku's red, Noiz' green, Clear's yellow and Mink's pink . Ren's respective color is deep blue.
• Combat Referee : When Rhyme became popular, Usui was introduced as one to enforce rules during combat and limit the damage to players.
• Compelling Voice : It turns out that Aoba can instill his will onto other people with his voice when he drops it to a certain tenor; when put in situations wherein his life may be in danger, however, an even greater power comes out and his consciousness begins to black out .
• Confession Triggers Consummation : In Noiz and Koujaku's good endings, they'll confess their feelings to Aoba, which leads to either of them and Aoba having sex.
• Conjoined Twins : When Aoba and Sei were born, they were connected by the hair. They were separated after Aoba appeared to be stillborn. Aoba opened his eyes after the separation, though .
• Contemplate Our Navels : This trope is used more effectively than most, as in Clear's route he and Aoba eventually have a quiet conversation about the human perception on life and death, which fits in thematically with his predicament — and perhaps refreshingly, Aoba answers all his questions in a very honest manner, trying to offer the different kinds of views humans have on the matter, and why he thinks they might have them, without condescension.
• Crapsaccharine World : Thanks to Toue, Midorijima is split in two areas: Platinum Jail, where only the rich and noteworthy can afford to enter and stay, and the Old Residential District, where the rest live and try their best to get by, even as Platinum Jail and Toue's company make things difficult for them.
• You didn't think Clear could kick ass, did you Aoba? Of course he did.
• Inverted with Koujaku , he mostly appears badass, but his good ending has him being really dorky when confessing his feelings for Aoba; he even gets a bloody nose during their sex scene !
• Cute Monster Boy : Deconstructed, while Oni Koujaku and Werewolf Ren are completely shirtless and still rather attractive, both of them only take these forms during their respective bad endings, are completely unintelligible in speech and have gone bloodthirsty berserk.
• Cyberpunk / Post-Cyberpunk : While the setting has many of the trappings of the cyberpunk genre, it also portrays (most of) the cast being able to live normally until danger comes to the fore; that said, there's still hints of a Crapsack World beneath the surface of their idyllic, day-by-day lives.
• The original games has, save from some ending themes, Electronic Music soundtrack produced by Japanese Electronica duo GOATBED.
• In the anime, the soundtrack is a mix of Techno/Trance and film-scorey sounds, a la TRON: Legacy . The opening theme and two of the ending themes are still electronica, done by the series' original composer mentioned above.
• Defend Command : Applicable in Rhyme, which typically reduces the damage taken.
• Died in Your Arms Tonight : Near the climax of Clear 's route, Aoba holds Clear in his arms as the latter begins to fully shut down after his hardware completely gives out .
• Diegetic Soundtrack Usage : Aoba's Coil ringtone is an 8-bit version of the opening theme of the visual novel ("AI CATCH").
• Drop-In Character : Usually, Koujaku is the one who drops by civilly, being Aoba's childhood friend, but later, everyone gets in on it. Granny usually just makes dinner for them all as they sit awkwardly by one another.
• Drum Roll, Please : Played for laughs in the April Fools' radio drama, where Clear imitates the sound of a drum roll when he announces whose house he will be breaking into for the segment.
• Early-Bird Cameo : Sei , who isn't properly introduced until the final route of the game, and Ryuuhou , who appears only on Koujaku's route, appears in the second episode of the anime, when the story is still in the early stages of the common route.
• Aoba's headaches can almost be felt by the audience due to the abrupt assault of red cracks on a darkening scene, in conjunction with an eerie, pulsing ambiance.
• If all possible endings in the original are obtained in re:code , Mizuki appears before being kidnapped by a pair of cloaked figures. Obtaining his good ending will have him be greeted by the other main characters before they all walk together.
• Everybody Lives : The Animated Adaptation has all of Aoba's love interests get their happy endings, even though none of them (except possibly Ren) romantically end up with Aoba . But given what's implied to happen to the others when only one love interest gets their happy ending in the visual novel, it's considered a fair trade.
• Fight Unscene : The anime has Mizuki punch some guys out mere seconds after his introduction, but all that's shown is a close up of Bug Bomb's tag art and a few punching sound effects. Later, however, he's shown breaking someone's nose onscreen .
• First-Person Perspective : Compared to Nitro+ CHiRAL 's other visual novels, DRAMAtical Murder is told through a first-person narration rather than a third-person one.
• Friendly Tickle Torture : The epilogue of Koujaku's good ending has him tickle Aoba awake when the latter repeatedly refuses to wake up.
• The first major event in the game is Aoba accidentally downloading a retro RPG on his Coil. This seemingly innocuous game turns out to have major plot repercussions, especially as events that take place within it begin mysteriously occurring in the real world.
• This trope also takes effect in one of Noiz's two bad endings, where he and Aoba become trapped in an RPG-like simulation of the real world in his own mind due to his wish for them to be able to live out their lives normally. Forever.
• Gayngster : Although the gang wars within and between Rib and Rhyme are not really the primary focus of the plot, the trope counts nonetheless given that two of Aoba's love interests are leaders of a Rib gang (Koujaku and Mink), and one other is a prominent player of Rhyme (Noiz).
• Giving Someone the Pointer Finger : Clear and Aoba wind up doing it to each other in the anime; Clear, when Aoba asks who he means by "Master," and Aoba, when saying he's not.
• Golden Ending : After completing the other routes, you can get the Secret Character 's ending, a.k.a. the true one. Oddly enough, unlocking the true route also simultaneously unlocks another route that only has a bad end, no good end; although it's fairly obvious how to avoid this.
• There is also a notable instance in Clear 's route, altough it's not that bad since Clear is a robot .
• G-Rated Drug : At least in the English patch, the way the characters phrase their playing their "games", Rhyme or Rib, comes off with this implication; they'll "do Rhyme," etc.
• All of Clear's theme songs, which are sung by Kanako Itou, are purely in English.
• Most of the themes sung by GOATBED are completely in English. This shows in the opening theme, and in Ren 's and Virus and Trip 's themes for their bad ending.
• The lyrics of Noiz's bad ending theme ("feel your noise") is entirely in English.
• Some of the (previously untitled) background music has been re-arranged and titled by the original composers. The new titles given to them are this trope in full effect (e.g 'Whodunit Howdunit Whydunit' and 'Tonight-Burn-Pledge-Trick').
• Guardian Entity / Attack Animal : AllMates have the capacity to be these in Rhyme.
• Noiz's good ending. It's probably the hardest to get, because some of the answers you must give him are very similar and if you fail once, you get the bad ending and you'll have to replay the sequence again to get to the good ending. Did we mention he's the only character with two bad endings?
• There is a way that will allow the player to have all of Aoba's love interests available as an possible option on how to pair Aoba in a single playthrough, though it requires the player to keep a keen eye on which choice will increase each love interest's "points" (which is marked by a dot with each character's Color Motif in the menu screen).
• Hard Light : Although most who do Rhyme are not supposed to feel the pain of combat, when Aoba's forcibly made to participate by a mysterious bunny mascot-headed man, he feels every blow.
• Holodeck Malfunction : This forces Aoba to get dangerous after he gets pulled into Rhyme without his consent, although he doesn't have complete control over what he's doing due to his Trauma-Induced Amnesia .
• Hot-Blooded : Koujaku. His specialty is riling up all the seemingly stoic people he meets as soon as he meets them because he thinks they're up to no good (he's, perhaps unsurprisingly, right about this). Which is basically every seemingly stoic character (there are a number of them).
• Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy : During the common route, the incompetent Midorijima police repeatably miss their shots trying to arrest Aoba, Koujaku, Virus and Trip in an alleyway.
• Interface Screw : In Noiz' route, as Aoba uses Scrap on him , he gets to see his memories with Aoba in the form of a visual novel, except with severe discolorations, pixelation and errors in text rendering. Some players thought this to be an actual error with their computer or program until they were told otherwise.
• The memorable seemingly-gangsta-lyfe-inspired introducer of each of Aoba's acquaintances is just about the hammiest character to ever grace sound systems for approximately two point five seconds at a time.
• Akushima's popularity (amongst the audience) can be attributed to this exact reason as well.
• DRAMAtical Murder still features plenty of dark and disturbing themes, and doesn't hold back on the horror and gore factor in the bad endings. But in contrast to Nitro+ CHiRAL 's previous game which, simply put, is a blood-stained Utsuge to the core, DRAMAtical Murder has its moments of fluff and levity, and also has a bad ending and a good ending for each of Aoba's potential love interests.
• Likewise, DRAMAtical Murder is the most vibrant and lively of Nitro+ CHiRAL 's works in terms of both art style and color scheme.
• Literal Ass-Kicking : In the common route, Aoba gives Clear the boot in the behind in an attempt to provoke him and see if he's the one who dragged him in Rhyme.
• Mass Hypnosis : Toue plans to do this to the entirety of Midorijima.
• Mental World : Aoba can enter other people's minds by touching them and looking into their eyes. These mindscapes tend to be... disturbing.
• Mind Screw : It is a Nitro+ CHiRAL game after all. Ren's route gets the lion's share though .
• Mistaken for Junkie : When Mink first abducts Aoba, he inquires the latter about the specialized pills he carries with him. Aoba's defensive behavior makes Mink wonder out loud if Aoba is a junkie, and yes, he actually says the word as is.
• Mob War : While some groups, like Mizuki's, are like a brotherhood and even take care of the people and shops in the area in the district that they make their own, most of the people who do Rib are notorious for their turf wars.
• Multiple Endings : It's a visual novel, so of course there's more than one possible ending, with each love interest having their respective good and bad ending.
• Mythology Gag : In the Animated Adaptation , a sign in Heibon reads "It's a daisuki shonen," essentially spelling out the series' Boys' Love roots.
• Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters : Koujaku's gang and Mizuki's group take care of the areas under their control. They treat the residents kindly and are quite popular.
• Never Trust a Title : The "Murder" half of the title doesn't really make sense, since there are no murders performed, not until you realize that the "murder" actually refers to Toue's brainwashing plans. Being brainwashed to the point of being brain-dead is the mental equivalent of a murder.
• Non-Answer : In the April Fools' radio drama, when the group is asked if they have someone they like, both Noiz and Mink refuse to answer the question. Then when pressed further about it, they still refuse to give a direct answer and attempt to leave.
• For Mink’s good ending, Aoba must not save anyone as he traverses Mink's mindscape . The bad ending reveals why: Aoba is in Mink's memories , so what Aoba is seeing already happened in the past; so if he changes what happened, he will end up altering far much more in Mink's mind .
• Only One Name : Everyone else is introduced only by a single name, except for the Seragaki family, and it doesn't take until Ren's drama CD to have another set of characters (namely the sibling trio who occasionally causes trouble at Heibon) to be given a surname.
• Pink Girl, Blue Boy : Tae and Aoba, respectively.
• Pixellation : Most CGs of the sex scenes have this. Justified since this is a normal rule in most Eroge . The official English release on the game, on the other hand, has an uncensored patch that allows the players to see the CGs in full, and yes, without the pixels getting in the way. However, the patch is only available at JAST's website.
• Police Are Useless : The police aren't really thought of highly in Midorijima, given they are basically lazy and corrupt. Aoba even points this trope out.
• Power Strain Black Out : Aoba frequently experiences this. The very first time occurs in-game when he's pulled into a Drive-By game in Rhyme.
• Pragmatic Adaptation : The Animated Adaptation follows the overall plot of the secret route, but it makes time to involve the plotlines of the four main love interests and integrate it into the main story.
• Put on a Bus : With the exception of Ren's route , the moment the player picks any of Aoba's main love interests, the rest will fade out from the story almost completely and are only mentioned in passing in the epilogue.
• Questionable Consent : Aoba and Noiz's first encounter is rather murky where consent is concerned, given that while Aoba is the one who decided to give oral sex to Noiz, it also was only because the latter goaded him into doing so... all out of the misassumption that Aoba has an ulterior motive for looking out for him.
• Real Men Wear Pink : Mink and his pink bandana, Noiz and his cute cube AllMate and bunny-related everything, Koujaku and his flower theme.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni : Koujaku (Red) and Noiz (Blue), also the AllMates Beni (Red) and Tori (Blue).
• Ridiculously Human Robot : Clear is entirely indistinguishable from a human (being able to eat, have sex with humans, and contemplate the nature of human death ) until he encounters the Alphas (to whom this trope also applies) and his body begins to break down. Even as he's dying, Aoba tells him he's the most human person he's ever known.
• Rubber Face : Clear pulls on Aoba's cheeks when trying to figure out what's "different" about him than when he first saw him.
• Koujaku loses control of his temper and his rationale after encountering Ryuuhou in his route .
• Should the player make the wrong choices in his route, Ren becomes completely insane in his bad ending and is left with nothing but the desire to ravage and consume .
• Scenery Porn : Not only there's actual porn in this game, but the backgrounds and locations are gorgeously drawn with vibrant and clean coloring.
• Scratch Damage : Typically, in Rhyme, even attacks which have been defended against still inflict some damage.
• Secret Character Route : Not so much of a secret at this point, but Ren's route can be unlocked after completing all the others'. It doubles as Sei's route as well, who is far more spoilery .
• Self Cest : Aoba and Ren's relationship counts, since Ren is originally part of Aoba's subconscious before becoming his own being through unusual means. This later evolves into Twin Cest once Ren transfers his consciousness into Sei's body.
• Separated at Birth : Aoba and Sei , since Aoba had the misfortune — or fortune — of being stillborn for a while before eventually coming to life.
• re:connect shows what happens between Aoba and any of his love interests after the end of their good endings (while also expounding what happened in their bad endings).
• The drama CDs covers what happens in each route after the events of re:connect .
• Aoba and Noiz fly to Germany in the latter's route after they reveal their relationship to Tae.
• In Mink's route, Aoba leaves Midorijima for an unspecified country in order to search for Mink and confirm whether he's alive or not .
• Virus wears a dark-blue suit and tie, while Trip sports a nice Waistcoat of Style .
• Noiz discards his default outfit in favor of a sharp-looking suit at the end of his route and throughout re:connect .
• Ship Tease : Noiz in particular, who kisses Aoba and says he doesn't get why it's so weird; Koujaku who acts like he's gay for Aoba (because he is) although they pass it off as bromance at first; Clear whose insistence that Aoba is his master and that he belongs to him is the reason Noiz and Koujaku start to get really pissed off, etc. It's everywhere until Aoba starts thinking about a particular man.
• Shonen Hair : Trip and Virus have notably spiky hair, which stands out from the hairstyles of the rest of the cast.
• Shout-Out : '2106 CR-L' is written in the Oval Tower's back entrance. 2106 can be read as ' Nitro ' (ni-to-ro), while CR-L is (obviously) ' Chiral '.
• Sick Episode : Half of Volume 3 of the drama CD has Aoba suffering from a cold that won't go away. The reason for this is revealed to be somewhat complicated, and Aoba only makes a full recovery once Mink resolves to tell Aoba everything about his past .
• Something Only They Would Say : In the finale of the secret route, when Aoba finds who appears to be Sei , he realizes who "Sei" actually is when said person licks his cheek — something only Ren has done to him .
• Is it Noise, Noiz, Noize? Rhyme or Lime? Rib or Lib? Or something else altogether?
• For Trip's AllMate , is it Bertha or Welter?
• The same can be said for Mink's AllMate after he finally gives him a name: Rurakan/Lulakan, Huracan, or Rulacane ?
• Stealth Hi/Bye : Clear falls out of the sky. Aoba's reaction is priceless. He does this a lot, actually, since he doesn't seem to register the concept of a "door."
• The Stinger : Once Ren's good ending is achieved, after the staff roll, Silent Oath's princess appears on-screen before transforming into Sei, who waves goodbye.
• Straight Gay : Every one of Aoba's potential love interests, even with Mink's pink bandana and Koujaku's flowery kimono, which in Japan is something of a gangsterish thing to wear, for men.
• The anime adaptation lacks sexual content and overt BL aside from Noiz kissing Aoba in episode 3. This is not the case with the bad ending OVA, which is more explicit than the TV anime, although the explicitness is still toned down compared to the games.
• re:code replaces the sex scenes with tamer content and tones down the violence and gore, but the sexual content was replaced with more homoromantic scenes. General nudity is also censored (e.g. Clear's naked apron scene now has him wearing boxers). Additionally, Mizuki has his own route in re:code .
• Taste the Rainbow : Each and everyone of Aoba's interests have very distinct Color Motifs , personalities, appearances, overall aesthetics. Even the Central Themes of their respective routes are notably different from one another.
• Teeth-Clenched Teamwork : This trope occurs between Koujaku, Noiz, Mink and Clear when they're forced to work together to find Granny. Koujaku doesn't trust Noiz or Mink at all, Noiz isn't exactly a team player at the best of times, Mink isn't very cooperative either and Clear is Clear . Aoba is the lone voice of reason .
• Unusual Euphemism : The fan translation, at least, gives a few... interesting examples to describe the male genitalia, such as "love meat", "love rocket", "stick and bags", and so on.
• Vague Age : With the exception of Aoba (and Sei, by extension) and Noiz, the ages of the rest of the cast aren't confirmed. Judging by appearance, Mink would be in his mid or late thirties, and Mizuki would be between Aoba and Koujaku's age. Koujaku is estimated to be at least three years older than Aoba but no exact age is given; as an android , Clear's real age isn't specified; and the closest hint you get to Virus and Trip's ages is that they're six years apart, with Trip being the younger of the two.
• The proctor of Rhyme, Usui, has a woman's body, but her voice is deep and clearly that of a man's. This makes sense, given that Sei is controlling her.
• For a cute, little dog AllMate , Ren has a really deep voice.
• Averted with Clear, although he was supposed to be this. He does become this trope in his bad ending after being forcibly reprogrammed .
• The Alphas, who are Clear's "brothers", are this to a T.
• Aoba becomes this in Koujaku's bad ending when his Superpowered Evil Side completely takes over his weakened will.
• Yakuza : Aside from the numerous gangs populating Midorijima, there are also a few mentions of the yakuza. Koujaku recognizes Virus and Trip as members of the yakuza. Not only that, Koujaku himself was born into a yakuza family . Some yakuza thugs also give Aoba and Clear trouble in the latter's route.
• Yandere : The bad endings typically involve Aoba or his love interest becoming this and resorting to extreme and graphic measures to keep the other with them forever. Special mention goes to Clear , who cuts off Aoba's limbs and removes his eyes to take away his free will.
• Your Mind Makes It Real : This trope is prevalent in Drive-Bys and in Aoba's excursions into other characters' Mental Worlds .

Video Example(s):

Dmmd - virus and trip's route.

20 comments:

I've done all the main routes, got some good and bad endings but I can't seem to see the options for this route when I replayed! TTATT so sad I wanna try this route! Any suggestions or tips on how to make the options like "help ren" appear?

That happened to me too. Hmm..after you finish all the main/common routes - be sure to start all over again. DO NOT use the save/load menu to go back to the previous start or so. PLAY IT AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING. If you find that boring, you can press "N" and it will automatically stop at the CHOOSE menu. :) If that still didn't work - you probably missed one ending. Ex. You finished a specific route but didn't finish the credits and just exited - that wont be recorded I think...

OH i think i did that for one of them, exiting before credits finished, but i dont remember which one lool here i go again --". Thanks for the tip though!

Sorry, but uh, is this Ren's route? Or the common route? I've been trying to how to get the common route / Ren's route. Thank you!

The COMMON ROUTE in here is at the "Listen to Mink" or in the other characters - the part BEFORE they see the insane version of Mizuki. *COMMON ROUTE is the normal - routes. Every character will have them. The choices serves as a guide on who you want to get an ending with. (just think of the character you want to) COMMON ROUTE and REN'S route are not the same This is the unlocked routes : REN and VIRUS & TRIP's routes. You'll get this route after you finished all other four characters route: *Koujaku *Clear *Noiz *Mink ******all their good and bad endings. :) After that. Repeat the game from the beginning. Do NOT load it. START all over to play Ren's and the TWIN's part. New choices will appear then, starting at the first ryhme fight with Noiz and so on and so forth~ :3 Just think about Ren at the choices~ hope that helps~ (this is soo long~ gomen!)

And also, I didn't publish Ren's ROUTE. 1st. It's a lot of spoiler 2nd. It's sooo long. *A* 3rd. The H-scene is sooooo good. I cried... Gomenkudasaaaaiii~ \(*A*)/

Ah, I see ~ I've been trying to find how to play Ren's route. And, I think I am, cause all the choices up there, the new ones for Ren, I have. I have played all of the other routes, good and bad endings and all. So, I was just confused on if Virus and Trip's route was also the 'same' as Ren's route. Thank you for answering.

i already played rens route and i cant seem to get the twins route, its sorta frustrating. could someone help me out

Ohh~ you probably made a wrong choice when TRIP is beating you up. *The part where Aoba found himself at a laboratory room and started hearing voices. Then Virus and Trip showed up. When Trip is beating Aoba - two choices will appear, choose the 1st Option/Upper choice for the two questions that will appear, that's the twins route, choosing the other option will lead you to Ren.

When im in the part when aobs used scrap to himself, the screen just went black and an alarm just keeps on alarming is this normal? (Im aiming for the 2nd bad ending)

I just can't get it!! I tried so hard because I had to repeat Noiz's route because I didn't got the 2 bad ending, then I tried three times but the mains semes keep coming! >:C And I don't think I skipped the credits of any route, because when I clicked the screen, the credits kept going! TT-TT Whyyyy?! Kill me please(? Anyway thank you for all the guides<3

Hello~ Did you make sure to repeat / start the game from the very beginning without loading anything from your Load Panel? Because I'm pretty sure that new choices will appear. *Once the characters (main characters) appeared on your main menu screen - when you finished an ending, I think that automatically means that you can go on to the next ones. :)

Hello, thank you VERY VERY MUCH for your hard work in summarizing all the routes! But will you also summarize Ren's ruote? I'm really curios, particularly because I don't understand why the bad ending is Ren eating the poor Aoba! I wanted to cry, poor baby!! I don't have the game, so I don't know anything, sigh... Thank you again!! <3

Hello!! I'm really thankful for your help :') ..but i've got some problems with Virus and Trip! I completed all bad and good endings and i still can't go on with the twins' route!! I started from the beginning, i tried the options that you wrote and also the 2 final choices (one time i decided the 2 up and the other time the 2 down to see if anything would have changed)...Everytime i get at Ren's part, when Aoba has to click yes or no on the red screens, and then i finish with Ren's bad or good endings! D: sorry if i'm dumb and i can't go onXD thanks.

Hello~ That's quite odd. I've never had that kind of experience but are you using the updated version (the FULL translation from Aarinfantasy) or the half version (this one, half translated)? But try this route; this is after the translation: up, down, up, down, up, up If you have the FULL English, it's: >I feel sorry >Feel very relieved >Answer Ren >Get Flustered >Use the power >I don’t have the energy to hold out but more or less, it's the last two options that will decide the route for Virus and Trip & with Rens. *Because the last option "I don't have the energy to hold out" Aoba will faint, if he "Continue to resist" he will try to keep himself conscious and Koujaku and the others will just come to save him~ :3 I hope this helps~ *u*)/

WHALE THEN!I actually like virus more then trip,my friend tanya likes noiz,and my friend Izzy likes aoba,and my friend Amanda likes clear,and my best friend Madison likes ren...SORRY,IM GETTING DISTRACTED!...

If i finished playing all the good routes do i still have to olay the bad ones in order to get the special routes?

Hello! You don't need to play the bad routes in order to get the special / true ending. Just a reminder, the special route is connected to Virus and Trip's ending. So if you chose the wrong ones, you'll get the bad ending (Virus and Trip's)

Sorry, iveI played ALL the game including Ren, virus&trip route but I can't seem to get the last cg in the gallery >check gallery>other>check 15 did I miss something?

DRAMAtical Murder: 5 Things The Anime Did Best (& 5 Things The Game Did Better)

DRAMAtical Murder was a choice-based game before it was an anime. Here are the pros and cons of each version.

DRAMAtical Murder is a BL visual novel centered around Aoba Seragaki, who initially lived a normal life in the Old Resident District of Midorijima. During the events of the game, Aoba can potentially learn more about his past, and also fall in love with one of five love interests along the way depending on which route he takes. There is also a twelve-episode anime adaptation of the game plus an OVA, where all five routes were combined.

RELATED: 10 Choice-Based Games That Will Break Your Heart

Though there is debate over whether the game or anime is better, it's clear that both the game and its anime adaptation have their strong and weak points. From portraying specific character routes in more detail to better explaining backstories, the anime and the game both have their fair share of highlights.

10 The Game Portrayed Mink's Route Better Overall

Mink's route in the game was portrayed better than in the anime. This anime itself cut out or altered many aspects of Mink's route from the game, including the moments where Mink assaulted Aoba and when he dealt with Aoba's Sly Blue personality appearing. Additionally, Mink and Aoba did not have as much time to build up a relationship with each other in the anime compared to the games. The game did a much better job of explaining Mink's backstory during his route, as well as his eventual development from being cruel to caring for Aoba.

9 The Anime Did A Better Job With Clear's Route

The anime did the best job of portraying Clear's route when all the routes were intertwined. Some even argue that Clear's route was executed better in the anime than in the game itself. This is due to the anime having to condense all of the game's routes into shorter narratives to fit all of them into thirteen episodes. This forced the anime to get to the heart of each route rather than involve too many side bits. Clear's story in the game is already fairly well-paced, so the anime's ability to condense it and still make it as understandable as playing through the game's route was extremely impressive.

8 The Game Better Incorporated All The Side Characters

The anime incorporated many of the side characters involved in each of the love interest's routes. However, the game put much more attention into using all the side characters where they were actually needed.

RELATED: 10 Anime Twist Villains No One Saw Coming

Since the anime condensed all of the main characters' routes into one or two episodes each, this gave the side characters less time to shine when compared to the game. The exception to this was for side characters that had a bigger impact on the main story such as Tae, Mizuki, Trip, and Virus.

7 The Anime Explains Tae's Backstory Better

Both the game and anime explained Tae's role in Aoba's life, as well as her past with working for Toue. However, whether her backstory was revealed in the game heavily relied on which route Aoba took when playing - some routes explained more, while others barely touched on it. Since the anime combined all of the game's routes, it automatically needed to tell Tae's story. This gave her depth that might be missing otherwise when playing some of the game's routes.

6 The Game Gave More Depth To Mizuki

Though the anime depicted what Mizuki went through with being mind-controlled by Morphine, the game gave Mizuki more time to gradually develop. This also meant that the sudden change from Mizuki being his normal self to being brainwashed and controlled by Morphine felt less random than when watching the anime. Additionally, in the follow-up game,  Re: Connect , it was discussed that Mizuki later recovered from the failed Scrap Aoba gave him during the events of the first game. The anime doesn't follow up on Mizuki as much by the finale.

5 The Anime Better-Portrayed Tatsuo Toue's Role As A Villain

Both the anime adaptation and the game suffered from Tatsuo Toue being an underwhelming final villain, but the anime did a slightly better job with him. It more cohesively explained all of Toue's actions and motivations, and he was  introduced earlier on in the anime than in the game.

Some fans wish that Toue's demise was at Mink's hands rather than him offing himself after losing to Ren and Aoba in a last game of Rhyme in the finale. However, they were satisfied that he was thoroughly defeated in the end rather than fleeing as he does in some routes of the game.

4 The Game Gave More Expansion On Trip And Virus

Trip and Virus were revealed late in both the game and the anime to be the leaders of the mysterious Morphine group. However, they didn't get as much of a chance to shine in the anime.

In the game, one of the bad endings in Ren's route resulted in Aoba being imprisoned by Trip and Virus as their personal slave for months on end, with no sign of when it would ever stop. It was also revealed that Trip and Virus were deeply obsessed with Aoba and kept his past abilities a secret from Toue by removing Aoba's memories. In comparison, Trip and Virus' bad ending is saved for the anime adaptation's OVA, and their obsession with Aoba is hardly touched on in the main anime.

3 The Anime Gave More Opportunities For All Of The Main Characters To Work Together

In the game, there is a common route before the player (as Aoba) ends up taking one of the other routes depending on which choices he made during the common route. This often resulted in the player working with mainly one of out a few of Aoba's love interests, and the latter half of the game therefore largely depended on which route the player chose.

RELATED:  10 Shonen Characters Who Would Make Good Shojo Love Interests

However, the anime's route combining meant that the characters had more scenes where they worked together. For instance, everyone worked together to fight through Toue's tower in the finale while Aoba confronted Toue himself. The increased group work in the anime led to the characters forming an odd but united friendship with each other.

2 The Game Expanded More On All Of The Characters' Endings

The game made a point to expand on the characters' endings more in each of their individual routes. The anime adaptation gave only a glimpse of what everyone was up to after finally defeating Toue, focusing instead on the game's main story and doing little to follow up on what happened to the characters after Toue was defeated and Platinum Jail's Oval Tower was destroyed. Aoba gave a bit of narration at the end, and nothing much more.

1 The Anime Gave Everyone A Happy Ending

No matter which route the player took in the game version, only one of the love interests  would have a good ending - if the player got a good ending at all - but the anime gave everyone a happy ending. Mink got revenge for his lost village, Clear embraced his humanity, Ren accepted himself for who he was as part of Aoba, Sei died at Aoba's hands as he wished for, Noiz learned to understand others, and Koujaku overcame his inner demons and let go of his past. The anime did  compile all of the dark, bad endings  into the separate OVA.

Key benefits of travel medical insurance

• Travel medical insurance coverage
• Who needs medical travel insurance?

Choosing the right travel medical insurance

How to use travel medical insurance, is travel medical insurance right for your next trip, travel medical insurance: essential coverage for health and safety abroad.

Affiliate links for the products on this page are from partners that compensate us (see our advertiser disclosure with our list of partners for more details). However, our opinions are our own. See how we rate insurance products to write unbiased product reviews.

• Travel medical insurance covers unexpected emergency medical expenses while traveling.
• Travelers off to foreign countries or remote areas should strongly consider travel medical insurance.
• If you have to use your travel medical insurance, keep all documents related to your treatment.

Of all the delights associated with travel to far-flung locales, getting sick or injured while away from home is low on the savvy traveler's list. Beyond gut-wrenching anxiety, seeking medical treatment in a foreign country can be exceedingly inconvenient and expensive.

The peace of mind that comes with travel insurance for the many things that could ail you while abroad is priceless. As options for travel-related insurance abound, it's essential to research, read the fine print, and act according to the specifics of your itinerary, pocketbook, and other needs.

Travel insurance reimburses you for any unexpected medical expenses incurred while traveling. On domestic trips, travel medical insurance usually take a backseat to your health insurance. However, when traveling to a foreign country, where your primary health insurance can't cover you, travel medical insurance takes the wheel. This can be especially helpful in countries with high medical care costs, such as Scandinavian countries.

Emergency medical evacuation insurance

Another benefit that often comes with travel medical insurance, emergency medical evacuation insurance covers you for any costs to transport you to an adequately equipped medical center. Emergency medical evacuation insurance is often paired with repatriation insurance, which covers costs associated with returning your remains to your home country if the worst happens. 

These benefits are for worst-case scenarios, but they might be more necessary depending on the type of trips you take. Emergency medical evacuation insurance is helpful if you're planning on traveling to a remote location or if you're traveling on a cruise as sea to land evacuations can be costly. Some of the best travel insurance companies also offer non-medical evacuations as part of an adventure sports insurance package.

It's also worth mentioning that emergency medical evacuation insurance is required for international students studying in the US on a J Visa. 

Types of coverage offered by travel medical insurance

The exact terms of your coverage will vary depending on your insurer, but you can expect most travel medical insurance policies to offer the following coverages.

• Hospital room and board
• Inpatient/outpatient hospital services
• Prescription Drugs
• COVID-19 treatment
• Emergency room services
• Urgent care visits
• Local ambulance
• Acute onset of pre-existing conditions
• Dental coverage (accident/sudden relief of pain)
• Medical care due to terrorist attack
• Emergency medical evacuation 
• Repatriation of mortal remains
• Accidental death and dismemberment

Travel medical insurance and pre-existing conditions

Many travel insurance providers will cover pre-existing conditions as long as certain conditions are met. For one, travelers need to purchase their travel insurance within a certain time frame from when they placed a deposit on their trip, usually two to three weeks. 

Additionally, travel insurance companies usually only cover stable medical conditions, which are conditions that don't need additional medical treatment, diagnosis, or medications.

Who needs travel medical insurance?

Even the best-laid travel plans can go awry. As such, it pays to consider your potential healthcare needs before taking off, even if you are generally healthy. Even if well-managed, preexisting conditions like diabetes or asthma can make a medical backup plan even more vital.

Having what you need to refill prescriptions or get other care if you get stuck somewhere other than home could be essential to your health and well-being. That's without counting all the accidents and illnesses that can hit us when away from home.

Individuals traveling for extended periods (more than six months) or engaging in high-risk activities (think scuba diving or parasailing) should also consider a solid medical travel plan. Both scenarios increase the likelihood that medical attention, whether routine or emergency, could be needed.

In the case of travel via the friendly seas, it's also worth considering cruise trip medical travel insurance . Routine care will be available onboard. But anything beyond that will require transportation to the nearest land mass (and could quickly become extremely expensive, especially if you're in another country).

Like other types of insurance, medical travel insurance rates are calculated based on various factors. Failing to disclose a preexisting health condition could result in a lapse of coverage right when you need it, as insurers can cancel your policy if you withhold material information. So honesty is always the best policy.

Even the best-laid travel plans can go awry. As such, it pays to consider your potential healthcare needs before taking off, even if you are generally healthy. Making the right choice when shopping for travel medical insurance can mean the difference between a minor hiccup in your travels and a financial nightmare. 

When a travel insurance company comes up with a quote for your policy, they take a few factors into consideration, such as your age, your destination, and the duration of your trip. You should do the same when assessing a travel insurance company. 

For example, older travelers who are more susceptible to injury may benefit from travel medical insurance (though your premiums will be higher). If you're traveling for extended periods throughout one calendar year, you should look into an annual travel medical insurance plan . If you're engaging in high-risk activities (think scuba diving or parasailing), you should seek a plan that includes coverage for injuries sustained in adventure sports.

Travel medical insurance isn't just for peace of mind. If you travel often enough, there's a good chance you'll eventually experience an incident where medical treatment is necessary.

Before you submit your claim, you should take some time to understand your policy. Your travel medical insurance is either primary (you can submit claims directly to your travel medical insurance provider) or secondary (you must first submit claims to your primary insurance provider). In the case of secondary travel medical insurance, a refusal notice from your primary insurance provider, even if it does not cover medical claims outside the US, is often required as evidence of protocol.

On that note, you should be sure to document every step of your medical treatment. You should keep any receipts for filled prescriptions, hospital bills, and anything else documenting your medical emergency.

As many people have found out the hard way, reading the fine print is vital. Most travel insurance policies will reimburse your prepaid, nonrefundable expenses if you fall ill with a severe condition, including illnesses like COVID-19. 

Still on the fence about whether or not medical travel insurance is worth it ? It's worth noting that many travel insurance plans also include medical protections, so you can also protect against trip cancellations and other unexpected developments while obtaining travel medical insurance.

While short, domestic trips may not warrant travel medical insurance, it may be a good idea to insure longer, international trips. You should also consider travel medical insurance for trips to remote areas, where a medical evacuation may be expensive, and more physically tasking trips.

While shopping for travel medical insurance may not be fun, a little advance leg work can let you relax on your trip and give you peace of mind. After all, that is the point of a vacation. 

Medical travel insurance frequently asked questions

Trip insurance covers any unexpected financial losses while traveling, such as the cost of replacing lost luggage, trip interruptions, and unexpected medical expenses. Travel medical insurance just covers those medical expenses without the trip interruption or cancellation insurance.

Travel insurance companies usually offer adventure sports as add-on coverage or a separate plan entirely. You'll likely pay more for a policy with adventure sports coverage. 

Many travel medical insurance policies now include coverage for COVID-19 related medical expenses and treat it like any other illness. However, you should double-check your policy to ensure that is the case.

Verter (ヴェルター Werutaa ) is Trip 's AllMate .

• 1 Appearance
• 2 Personality
• 3.1.1 Ren's Bad End
• 3.2.1 Trip's Bad End
• 4 References

Verter takes the form of a giant black lion with deep blue eyes, making it the largest AllMate out of the others. His and Hersia 's similarities in appearances are reminiscent of Virus and Trip's twin-like qualities.

It is unknown when Trip acquired Verter, but he had him as an AllMate prior to his and Virus' bad end when they fled the country with Aoba .

Personality

Unlike the other AllMates which have distinct personalities and voices, Verter lacks any human-like qualities and instead is presented as if it were an actual wild animal. Instead of speaking, it purrs and growls like a real lion would. This might have been on purpose by Trip to not install any personality into him so he could subject Aoba to the false terror of being abused by an animal instead of a robot. It seems to work, however, as Aoba explicitly states that he hates Verter out of anything he's ever come into contact with and that the AllMate terrifies him greatly.

Verter is not seen with Trip throughout the game at all until their bad end and in Re:connect .

DRAMAtical Murder

Ren's bad end.

Verter is only shown for a short amount of time, licking Aoba's chest as Virus, Trip and Hersia continue to prod and force themselves onto Aoba.

DRAMAtical Murder Re:connect

Trip's bad end.

When Trip calls Verter over to him and Aoba, the latter begins to thrash wildly and cry out in horror. Aoba comments that Trip knows he hates Verter but purposely calls him over because he finds Aoba's fear and torment amusing. He goes on to explain that Trip will have Verter have its way with Aoba, often "playing rough" with him enough to leave injuries and terrify him into submission so that once Trip joins in, it will feel like Trip is "rescuing" him from the pain because he sees his treatment as not as harsh as Verter's. This will lead Aoba to begin to enjoy Trip's treatment of him as a false sense of security, this mentality soon leaving Aoba broken and driven into a state of madness until the day he dies.
