Playing Dead

Hey, guys, Kimberly Jordan here. Did you know that some characters play dead? Sometimes when I play Hey, You, Pikachu! and my Pikachu and I go into any place in any moment, it suddenly plays dead and no matter how many times I tell it to get up, the screen just says "Pikachu is playing dead" countless times until Pikachu gets up and turns around with an embarrassing smile and a blue flower callout appearing above its head. I even heard that possums play dead to live since I tried the DreamWorks film Over the Hedge.

I remember the moment from the Corpse Bride film when Victor Van Dort tries to escape the Land of the Dead so in one part, he pretended to die in a coffin he found. When my parents and I watched the most dramatic scene of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the second part, no character has ever realized that the title character himself is playing dead after being claimed as a Horcrux. Now, Voldemort, I clearly want to tell you this; Harry is not really dead, he's just pretending, so let all the other Hogwarts students mourn him by crying out loud until he wakes up because if you don't, I shall execute you!

So I'd like to go with the first DanganRonpa game, it's called DanganRonpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. In chapter 3 of this video game, the Ultimate Fanfic Creator Hifumi Yamada plays dead with his back on the floor, smothered in blood actually taken from the blood packs. (scene cuts to this video) >

In DanganRonpa V3: Killing Harmony, the Ultimate Supreme Leader Kokichi Oma unknowingly trips on a loosened floorboard and gets blood on his face. He plays dead for about 5 seconds and then he gets up saying, "It's a lie!"
