The fourth Boys' Love Visual Novel created by Nitro+CHiRAL, DRAMAtical Murder, also known amongst fans as DMMD, features crisp, clean and fluid art style, Electronic Music soundtrack, various character expressions and elaborate CGs, a dark sci-fi story rendered bright and colorful, and of course, tons and tons of Boys' Love, with four main routes and one unlockable one. A first press edition was released on March 23, 2012, and a regular edition came out on the 27th of the following May. A sequel, DRAMAtical Murder re:connect was released on April 26, 2013. 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 AllMatenote 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...An English patch for the full game can be found online. In Anime Expo 2018, JAST USA announced an official English localization, which was released on April 6, 2021.An anime was announced as part of the summer 2014 anime lineup, the PV can be watched here. A stageplay adaptation was announced in 2019 where it had successful runs in 2020. | |

Tamer and Chaster | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_146e133b | comment |
Tamer and Chaster: 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. | |

Brainwashed and Crazy: 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. | |

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. | |

| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_22cf536c | comment |
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. | |

Gratuitous English | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_2e6a41e0 | comment |
Gratuitous English: Everywhere, especially with regards to the soundtrack. 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'). | |

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. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: 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. | |

| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_487c525d | comment |
Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Every character's route reveals their respective anxieties and weaknesses, which they either fail to acknowledge or cannot change. This leaves Aoba with no choice except to use Scrap to prevent them from going berserk. 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. | |

Break the Cutie: Good God, there's plenty of this throughout the common route, individual routes, and most definitely the bad endings. 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. Poor, poor Aoba, especially in the bad endings. 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. | |

| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_5d6710a | comment |
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. | |

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). | |

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). | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: 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). | |

Not Quite the Right Thing: The choices to achieve Mink and Clear's respective good endings can be a bit tricky. 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. | |

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. | |

Large Ham | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_823c6e3e | comment |
Large Ham: 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. | |

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). | |

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. | |

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. | |

Evolving Title Screen: Upon starting up, the title screen shows 8-bit sprites of Aoba and Ren walking together. Finishing one of the four boyfriend's routes on a good ending will have him follow. When the four of them are gathered, Ren goes missing until you obtain his good ending. 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. | |

Editorial Synaesthesia | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_ae592123 | comment |
Editorial Synaesthesia: 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. In an emotionally-engaging use of this trope, Clear's "Jellyfish Song" is never directly sung to the player/viewer, with a soft, ethereal lullaby-like chorus taking its place every time he sings instead, which imparts the wonder and calming effect it has on Aoba on the player as well, whilst never having to bring up how and what he sings (although Aoba will mention that the lyrics are sweet at one point). Although the anime eventually reveals a portion of the actual lyrics, before the full version was released. | |

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). | |

Lighter and Softer: 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. | |

Everybody Lives | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_d1b4f0ef | comment |
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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

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. | |

| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
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. | |

Authority Equals Asskicking | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_e34ada78 | comment |
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. | |

Cast Full of Pretty Boys | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_e3739de7 | comment |
Cast Full of Pretty Boys: Duh. Granny is an important supporting cast member though, and her and Aoba's close familial bond provides a large number of early heartwarming moments. 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). | |

| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_e542d889 | comment |
Gorn: There's a lot of this trope the bad endings. Noiz and Ren's take the cake, given that the former's bad ending involves Aoba and Noiz bleeding and getting new cuts nonstop in the latter's mindscape, and Ren's bad ending has him go insane and eat Aoba alive while violating him. There is also a notable instance in Clear's route, altough it's not that bad since Clear is a robot. Koujaku's tattooing process is very bloody. It doesn't help that Ryuuhou created the tattoos using the tebori method, an old form of tattooing that is far lengthier and more painful than the modern tattooing method. | |

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. | |

Sequel Goes Foreign: In re:connect, this trope applies for the good endings of two of Aoba's love interests: 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. | |

Game Within a Game | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_f7567671 | comment |
Game Within a Game: 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. | |

Brainwashing | |
| DRAMAtical Murder (Visual Novel) / int_f95bc392 | comment |
Brainwashing: Hoo boy. The basis of much drama. Brainwashed and Crazy: 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. Brainwashing for the Greater Good: Every character's route reveals their respective anxieties and weaknesses, which they either fail to acknowledge or cannot change. This leaves Aoba with no choice except to use Scrap to prevent them from going berserk. 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. | |

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. | |

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. | |
