Also I guess happy ending confirmed, because 30% is a window small enough for Naegi to bullshit.

Hagakure's prediction has Gekkogahara using the Monomi avatar. He shouldn't know about that, so my money's on the prediction being right.


Also, Togami said Monaka was hiding somewhere in Towa City (which was the reason for getting Komaru and Toko involved at all), which would mean she's not actually in the building.

If I had to pick anyone from the Remanants with the highest killcount, even indirectly, I imagine it'd be Sonia or Kuzuuryu. Being either a princess/mob leader gives you a lot of power to kill, even if indirectly.

It's a weird episode in that nothing really happened other than finding an extra victim, just introducing a bunch of old faces into the situation.

It's more like 10 though, there were 5 survivors including himself.

I'm not too worried about Hajime/Izuru. We don't know much about Izuru, although I think they said in the second game that he didn't have his memories as Hajime, which would have been fixed by the neo world program. Just because a bunch of warships just bores him, it doesn't mean that Hajime is gone from him. I always assumed the two personalities merged, and the new personality taking parts from both.

Mahiru is probably the most dangerous despair. I mean, she has a body count on par with everyone else and she's just a photographer.

Imagine the kind of stuff she'd have to do to keep up with the people with talents that make murdering easy. :ohdear:

Propaganda and despair inducing photos are what I assume the tools of her trade are so it's about as Despair inducing as Dancing and Light Music.

Regarding the episode, the deaths are all sorta following the patter in DR1 and 2, right? #3 is the double homicide and the next will be the suicide iirc.

Nah, all the dead people are accounted for. It started with 16 survivors, and we're now down to 10. Including the latest corpse found, that's 6 people killed. Sakakura hasn't bitten the dust.

The fact that Tengan knew stuff about the attacker and in his death he made a dying message to give more hope to Naegi still makes me think this whole thing is the project that he mentioned in the last episode and the project is to use this game to give Naegi even more hope.
I thought that the whole "broadcasting to the outside" was part of that plan to show the world Naegi's hope but it looks like it's not since there's no broadcast but it's weird Monokuma would lie about that, normaly he doesn't lie about that stuff.

Also there's the fact that after Tengan died the whole game turned weird, the knife that was used to kill Chisa and Gozu(who is missing from Gozu's body when Kirigiri was cheking it by the way) was not used to kill Seiko and then Izayoi possibly died because he did his forbidden action(eating sweets maybe) and someone took the thing that stabbed Seiko to stab him to make him look like the attacker killed him. Ruruka is the most suspicious but even if she did that the question would be why? Even if she gave him candies and killed him on purpose there would be no reason to disguise his death because she could just say she didn't know was his forbidden action was and it was all a accident.

And I still don't know about Monaka and Munakata whole deal in this is.

If Izayoi's death was Ruruka's fault even by accident I don't think she wants anyone to know.

Considering that Ruruka is already incredibly insecure about being unable to use her talent in a way to impress her "best friend", I imagine feeding candy to Izayoi and killing him would destroy her.

She couldn't be more obviously responsible so I hope it's a set up.

He did find that secret room which was covered by a bookshelf again this ep. And Munakata could be involved, people think the sword he has in the credits might be the one that Izayoi turned down in favor of the gun, which is also missing.

At the beginning they were called "million-class criminals" which doesn't bode well for anything they did. They probably killed a whooooooole lot of people, directly or otherwise. I assume Izuru got bored of murder after doing it once so his kill-count is likely pretty low.

Also I think Zero says that the student council members were actively trying to kill each-other, so Izuru might not be personally responsible for that entire thing but he definitely had a kill-count there. I'm guessing it involved Chiaki somehow, because Despair.

I'm kinda interested in the specifics of how the first mutual killing game went, because it seems to be the only one that actually went according to plan.

EDIT:

Maybe even directly, since Kuzuuryu is already a murderer like 3 episodes in. rip psycho lesbian, too pure for this world.

It's weird how they just kind of ignore this and Kuzuryuu seems to give no fucks about the fact that he murdered someone. The game definitely gives the impression that Kuzuryuu is not actually a bad person, so it's kind of strange for him to not display any sort of guilt afterwards.

YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG!
I always assumed that Pekoyama was the one who killed Sato, either on Kuzuryuu's order (unlikely, given that Kuzuryuu wants her to stop seeing herself as his tool) or, as in the game, of her own accord (but for Kuzuryuu's sake). If it's the latter, that might explain why we're not seeing guilt on Kuzuryuu's part.

Didn't the game imply what happened in the sim happened in real life? Peko killed her under the assumption Kuzuryu wanted it, and he was shocked and confused at the result.

His "I'll kill her" bits probably being him trying to deal with his grief in that hardass way he tends to, though that does bring up the point that Peko should've realized he didn't actually have a killing intent? Unless he did. I could be completely off.

You know, we really shouldn't be relying on the count at the opening credits so much. Remember that the two games also had a counter of surviving people, and for the first game, the count was only accurate at the end of chapter 4, with all of the other counts being wrong on the survivors.

Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot about that. It makes sense if Pekoyama killed Sato; it's possible Kuzuryuu might not even have known she did it.

Pekoyama is kinda hosed up.

Am i misreading something? Our dead people are Chika, Gozu, Bandai, Tengan, Seiko and Izayoi. It started at 16, now it's at 10. Gekko is technically still alive because the robot is still active in the game.

I'm just saying that it seems to count Hiro, who is not participating, and just because it shows that 10 people are alive, does not mean that there are only ten people there. I just think that it shouldn't be considered absolutely true for who is alive or dead.


Basically, I want to believe Juzo is dead because we haven't seen him and I hate him.
