My main focus with version 1 of the lora was the crossover characters featured in Sengoku Asuka ZERO's Danganronpa crossover event. But I liked the overall style enough that in the version 2.x branch I expanded the dataset to provide a larger scale style lora for the Sengoku Asuka ZERO style/setting as a whole while retaining and strengthening it's ability to render the Danganropa crossover characters and their costumes. Essentially, it helps to push for a Sengoku period style similar to what modern fantasy is to the Western Middle Ages: a fanciful and stylized imagining of a historical era.

The 2.x lora's dataset had full cleaning and editing to ensure none of the game/card GUI elements are present. However, the 1.x lora typically needs negative prompts to ensure that they don't appear.

Danganronpa Character Costume Notes

The Danganronpa characters included in the crossover typically had two main images with Junko having an additional alternate. The main card image and an in-game sprite. The sprite is 'mostly' similar to the card but with an additional weapon. But they're still distinct with some having more major differences then others. You can make the sprite characters closeer to a standard anime style by removing the sprite, game_sprite,chibi, etc tags. These are the main costume tags for the Danganronpa crossover characters.

Descriptive prompts (only works with the 2.x lora branch)

For the main trigger, include: asuka_zero , In the Sengoku Asuka ZERO art style

If you want to push for the combat sprite style use: asuka_zero , In the Sengoku Asuka ZERO sprite style.

Tips: The Sengoku Asuka ZERO illustrations I trained on typically had detailed characters but fairly simple backgrounds. I've found that it helps to actually prompt for a more complex background when using this lora with text along the line of: complex_background , Detailed beautiful scenery. When putting prompts together you can also get good results by using the names of traditional Japanese items from the Sengoku and Edo periods. In theory this lora should also play well with Danganronpa concepts due to the amount of it in the training data from the Sengoku Asuka ZERO x Danganronpa event. Try playing around with adding or removing the danganronpa_(series) and alternate_costume tags when working with other danganronpa characters.

Tags (works with the 1.x branch, should be usable but weak in the 2.x branch)

Use as a general style

If you use the asuka_zero tag it should act as a general style lora. In particular it'll pick up on things related to the Sengoku period like tags of: traditional_clothes, japanese_clothes, kimono, hair_ornament, ninja, samurai

You can also easily swap out the costumes from the Danaganronpa characters - for the most part. You can see some examples in the gallery using Tsumugi with Chiaki's outfit and a few more generalized examples.

Negative Tags (for the 1.x lora branch)

You'll probably want to use the following negative tags due to the problems noted in "Issues": border,card_(medium),card_game,collectible_card_game,divided_screen,frame,game_ui,hud,interface,japanese_text,text,mobile_game,ornate_frame,rating,sidebar,star_(symbol),symbol,yin_yang, GUI, orb, game_text,logo

Issues

With the 1.x loras I carefully hand captioned the danganronpa character imags from the dataset to ensure all GUI/card/text elements were accounted for. What I didn't account for is that a lot of the danbooru images didn't have the game elements captioned. Users there are typically pretty good about it and this led me to being overly lazy about double checking. The end result is that the GUI elements from the cards like star ratings or card borders have a chance of showing up in generated images from the 1.x branch lora, even when using negative tags to try avoiding them. This was fixed with the 2.x branch where I edited/captioned the raw game images to ensure that they didn't have any GUI elements.
