I Don't Want To Give Away Too Much About Izuru In P4 +D2 (nor Do I Know If You Saw Any Of The Lore Behind

I just think it'd be weirdly endearing in a hilarious way if one of the people to help Nagito (and his protag self) break out of the "I'm worthless" mindset did so in the most crude and self-absorbed way possible.

Nagiko: "No, you little dumbass! You're not worthless or incompetent. I know that because I am NOT worthless or incompetent. I'm a fucking genius that surpassed a good chunk of those so-called Ultimates in their own field. Kirigiri's daughter? I demanded to her father's face that they replace that stupid luck exam with the detective exam they already had prepared for her third year. And I aced it in my first fucking year! That little shit, Togami? Please, I've seen how incompetently run his division of that Fuckwit Foundation is. And don't get me started on that overrated twerp, Naegi. You're better than the lot of them boy, because you ARE me! A stunted less competent male version of me true, but me nonetheless. And still a genius regardless."

Meanwhile he's covering his ears at this heresy, and shaking his head in denial.

Nagito: "Sis, STAAAHP! Don't compare me to Naegi-kun and Kirigiri-san! I'm nothing compared to them. The whole world knows it."

Nagiko: "Doesn't matter what the rest of the plebs say. They're morons, and they're all wrong. Only my opinion matters in this regard, Nagito. And I say you are better than you think you are. ONLY MY OPINION MATTERS!"

HAHAHAHA THAT'S JUST CONVENIENT- the mean one just helping the out the pushover lol!! She's the coolest out of them , The rest are just pathetic (affectionate), YOOOOOOOO YOU GO GIRL!!

I imagined this little backstory for her where her first encounter with an alternate doppelganger was meeting a Liquid Snake-esque version of Nagito. One who as a child was the beta model for the Kamukura project in his verse, being enhanced with a prototype of the treatment that would eventually create Izuru. An Izuru v.0.5 you could say. Only he ends up rebelling, not content to just be a footnote for someone else. And he actually succeeds in killing his verse's version of Izuru after they're created (might not even have been a Hajime). Before then going on to form a little mercenary band of fellow science experiments across the multiverse.

He develops something of a fondness for his "little sister". Accepting her request to train and mold her. Admiring her determination in spite of her illnesses. Not every Nagito variant will end up with the dementia + lymphoma combo, but it's quite common for many of them to have at least some kind of disease. Hers perhaps might be something connected to her heart? Or her bones? Whatever the case though, there is a secondary reason related to that why she joins him. She wants access to the same physical enhancements the rest of his group have to neutralize or at least weaken her illness. The technology that created Kamukura having been democratized and more widespread across the multiverse.

He indulges this request. On the condition that she complete one last test, and take out the two individuals she'd been training to kill back in her home verse. Honestly he finds the whole vendetta a little childish, being like "Oh, those guys", remembering a long forgotten episode of his life where he killed his verse's Despair Sisters. Which was just another job for him. But he plays along. And ramps up the difficulty by warning the sisters in advance. Naturally of course Nagiko is pissed after having completed the job, as she lies on an infirmary bed. With her "brother" channeling Death in Terry Pratchett's 'The Hogfather'.

"You warned them I was coming."

"Well obviously. It was a test. It was meant to be educational."

"I lost my fucking right leg! I had to blow it off with a shotgun after they caught it in a trap!"

"And that was an important lesson."

In the end though she still gets rewarded for her accomplishment with the same enhancements to her body as the other members of the group. Not gaining all the talents + combat knowledge of a Kamukura, but now having their inhuman strength, speed, and stamina. As well as alleviating her illnesses somewhat. But it all ends on a rather bittersweet note. With Nagiko slowly realizing that despite her affection for her mentor "big brother", this is not a healthy sibling relationship at all. It occurs to her that she's starting to mirror Mukuro somewhat. And the assassination mission she went on ended up alienating her from her verse's Chiaki and the others. Eventually she decides to call it quits, and flees the group to strike out on her own.

Oooo backstories!! LIQUID SNAKE?!?! I'M SORRY I CAN'T TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY WITHOUT CRACKING UPAHAHAHHAHA JUST THE MENTAL IMAGE- the snake stole Tsumugi's cosplay wig or some sheet, OH NEVERMIND THIS GOT DARK REAL QUICK- part of the Kamukura project?!?! Ohh he a rebell!!!! Good for him!! Go snake guy- AHHHH THEY SIBLINGS I LOVE SIBLING BONDSS!!

Yep I can't argue with that, he seems really ill I can imagine the other variants having some sort of illness even if it's not the same one, maybe a branch or something completely different.. oh a heart or bone illness?!?! NAGIKO NUU- OHHH THAT MAKES SENSEEE!! SHE DESERVES THE WORLD OKAY!!

Oh no she have to kill in turn- actually this is the apocalypse of course people gonna die, WHAT?! HE TELLS THEM IN ADVANCE 💀💀 No offense to him but Nagiko get them both!! Him and the Despair sisters honestly!! Yeah no wonder she's mad!! CONFRONT HIM GIRL!! Oh NO HER RIGHT LEGG!! AHHHH the parallels though!!!! Maybe she'd get a robotic leg or something ehe

YASS SHE GOT AN UPGRADE!! LESSGOO SHE got them strength!! She got them stamina!! Atleast it somewhat helps her illness even if it's not a complete cure- oh no.. THAT'S SO SADDDD AGHHH, And now she calls it quits and is on her own WHY YOU GOTTA HURT ME LIKE THAT ANON?!?! actually she does meet up with the other two Nagitos so all is well am I right<33 💝💝

"She forgave my existence.. my beloved"
