Their entire lives...
[ Like a way of life. An entire lifestyle. When thinking about it that way, Daisuke has all the more reason to take this very seriously. ]
Um, that sparring thing we were talking about earlier... Can we do it now? I want to try and see how it matches up when it's against someone.

[ AAAAAAAAAaaaaa
Minako's sudden announcement catches Daisuke off guard badly. His reflexes are pretty great, but it doesn't translate over to video games very well... This is evident by the fact that he's startled and accidentally makes his own character fall down a pit.
...
His eyes look pretty dead right now. ]

i would love that kind of superpower
even if its literally the last action we can undo, that would be so handy
it would save a lot of hassle like... not tripping over something

omg i never thought of that before
that it could be an actual superpower?
the power to use ctrl+z irl
no more bumping into people because people don't see me
no more dropping things accidentally
taking back something i blurt out accidentally?
i feel like i could be so powerful

i think that would be the strongest power for a mundane life next to teleportation

[Fortunately, he's not Yasusada, so poor Daisuke won't get bodyslammed with a tidal wave of factoids and gushing about living that samurai life. He is pretty enthusiastic about the idea of testing things out in a match, though.]
Sure, sure! Testing it out in battle is always the best thing to do. It's the number one way to hone your reflexes, too.
[While he's talking, he goes to pick up his own bokuto, returning to the mats in quick order.]
We'll start out with a small match, though. I'm thinking thirty second intervals. Sound good?

[Oh.......]
I-It's okay, just revive as fast as you can! You have to keep pressing the square button until-- waauuaahh!
[Panicked button mashing commences as bigger spiky things launch at her character, and she starts taking massive damage.]
No no no, gotta stay alive until you come back--!

[ His confidence thinks that he wouldn't last 30 seconds, but there's nothing wrong with trying. ]
Sounds good!
[ He gets in a ready stance and prepares himself. Daisuke is also super nervous about it, but trying to keep calm so that he has his head on right. ]

[ Each second that passes by seems like it's taking forever as he watches Minako's game character's HP drop so quickly. He's repeating in his mind for the game to hurry up so that he can help her. Why can't this thing go any faster!!
When he finally arrives, he decides that there is no time for a charge attack, so he mashes buttons to interrupt the boss as much as he can and hope that his damage does something.
It probably doesn't. ]

[ okay hold the PHONE LIKE YO WHAT. naegi looks at the drawing, at daisuke, then back at the drawing. dude, what kind of anime life did daisuke have?? at least naegi was probably ~19 or something when all his friends decided to kill each other ]
He worked for the police and was better than them all at 14?

I guess so?! [ It's really ridiculous the more he thinks about it, which he didn't before. ]
I think I drew him accurately too... He definitely looked older. This is so weird.

Your other life honestly sounds more and more like an anime the more you tell me about it...
[ haha meta ]
Um, how about you draw me someone else from your other life?

[ He's starting to debate whether he should tell his crush that his other life was pretty damn anime or just... make himself look worse? What has he done. He just wanted to be honest!! ]
he um
stole stuff
I PROMISE ILL NEVER DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT THOUGH MY RECORD IS CLEAN

Um... [ Daisuke thinks for a moment before taking back his sketchbook to draw on another page. He sketches out a picture of Riku, and while he does so, he remembers in his memories about how his other self liked her a lot. It feels strange having these feelings for someone he himself doesn't like. It feels confusing almost, but he feels like they're feelings similar to what he feels for Chiyo.
...
He frowns at this strange dissociation and shows the sketchbook to Naegi. It's a simple sketch of Riku--the short haired twin. ]
Here you go.

i know you wouldn't!
you aren't that type of person at all!
but i didn't think your other self would be like that?
what kinds of things did he steal?
was it because it was necessary?
were things really bad for you in your memories?
[ she thinks he was really down on his luck and had to do it to survive and not like some
phantom thief extraordinaire ]

[ it's certainly a weird experience, having the emotions of your other life pass over to this one. he's been struggling with his very mixed feelings about maizono for a while now so he knows how difficult it can be trying to suppress those emotions and separate yourself from your other life. ]
[ he takes the sketchbook from daisuke and looks it over. she at least looks younger than the other guy and more around 14. probably. ]
She's cute. Was she also a classmate of yours?
