Danganronpa V3: Remnants AU Comic Dub Casting Call
Rebecka_DeVil for Daisaku Bandai
Daisaku Bandai is a character in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak High, and his title is the former Ultimate Farmer. Daisaku is described as being a gentle giant. One of his most notable quirks is making up his own sayings such as "the strawberry seed only shows its face three times", but no one has any idea what they mean. Daisaku himself admits that they don't really mean anything, he simply enjoys saying them. While his voice has been described as "creepy" by others as it's more high-pitched feminine than his build suggests, it doesn't seem to bother him, and even thinks of it as a compliment. He also dislikes violence and even attempted to stop fellow Future Foundation member Juzo from physically assaulting Makoto.
ALTERNATIVE FATE
In the Stage Play adaption, all poisoned members are brought back to life thanks to an antidote Seiko procured before her death, and assist Naegi in stopping Mitarai from uploading the Hope video by fighting off any brainwashed guards.
Once fully recovered, Kizakura and Bandai meet up with Makoto and Aoi to extend their thanks for saving them from the poisoning, and after saying a few more parting words, head off to do their own thing and recover/mourn the others in their own way while staying positive.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
As mentioned previously, I have been considering if it was alright for me to have Bandai be a part of the cast due to his character being a racial stereotype towards African people (for more info, you can read on his development here: https://danganronpa.fandom.com/wiki/Daisaku_Bandai#Creation_and_Development ). But after asking and chatting with those who could feel affected by his portrayal and design, I was given the okay and the go-ahead to have him up as a role, but only if changes are made to his design (which I was planning on to do if it was alright regardless) and more depth to his character. I don’t have anything fleshed out just yet because I don’t want to write any changes that may still be stereotypical but just know that he will be given a bit of a redesign.
Honestly, I’m open to any interpretation of his voice! I’ll still list the scenes he’s in below for an idea of what he sounds like (including the stage play for this one. Just note his voice is SUPER high-pitched), but since I did have some say they had an issue with his higher voice Im open for personal interpretation for Bandai’s voice as well - whatever makes you most comfortable!

(Finding out the Future Foundation's exits are all blocked off. Sound a bit frantic and panicky, but still trying to remain calm.) "This isn't looking good, you guys... it's not just the main entrance that's blocked off...! The rear entrance, emergancy exits, elevators... all forms of escape have been completely obliterated and blocked off - we're trapped!"
(Warning Juzo to not start any violence. Sound stern and serious, as if he's providing a final warning.) "The strawberry seed only shows its face three times. So don't start anything violent, okay? Trust me on this. Whatever you're thinking of doing, don't!"
(Sound more casual here!) "Ah, they're my own personal sayings. They don't mean anything, so no need to worry about them too much!"
