I'm excited for FeMC for DR3 and the other cast members look nice too. Hoping for a new villain too.

Chiaki being the mastermind would kind of make sense in that a SHSL Gamer is responsible for designing all the killing games since they haven't happened yet (Student Council doesn't count).

It really seems like Chiaki is the only person who could have made DR2, minus the monokuma virus parts. A game about living together forever as friends even after the greatest, most tragic event in human history.

Chiaki knows how to play games, not how to make them. Alter Ego is the one who created Neo World Program using technology left behind by Chihiro and Matsuda, alongside Miaya who oversought the therapeutic aspect.

voltcatfish posted:Wow I did not notice Kaede's musical motifs at all last night. Assuming they still have talents, getting an mc with a "real" talent will be interesting for once Seeing as this new school is apparently a reform school, I'm guessing that Kaede's "thing to set the protagonist apart from the rest of the class" is that she's innocent. Maybe she was supposed to go to the "real" Hope's Peak that might have reopened years after the end of DR3, but she ended up at the Gifted Inmates' Academy by mistake. This new school may be where they send all the crazies and criminals now, since they don't want another Junko getting into the school to ruin everything again. The idea would be to quarantine the students most at risk to being corrupted by despair, so they can be reformed and given hope. So the protagonist is stuck with a group of delinquents, criminals, and crazies, and she has no idea what she did to end up here. Finding out why she's here might be an important plot point.

IceBorg posted:There's still hope! Believe in Seiko, she will prove that she didn't die in vain! Seriously, I know a Chekhov's Gun when I see it. They wouldn't have focused on that bottle, while having Seiko lament that she couldn't save anyone, if it wasn't going to come up again. Unless that Cure-W resurfaces in a different context, I'm not going to lose hope. Besides, the survivor counter dropped from nine to six, and four deaths happened in Episode 9. Either Miaya doesn't count due to being a robot, or one of those deaths wasn't real. And if Monaca really had no idea who the mastermind was, then perhaps the mastermind didn't know about her, either (and thus had no reason to exclude her from the survivor count). Speaking of the survivor counter, I had a thought. Due to Hagakure's status on the outside, we've been wondering whether or not there's a hidden participant. But we've only got two episodes left in Future arc, so if there is a hidden participant it would have to be the mastermind. So what if Hagakure actually was the sixteenth person, but he got removed from the survivor count because he got locked outside and was no longer participating in the game (even though he was still alive)? But the counter dropped from 16 to 15 which would suggest... Chisa wasn't actually dead. And if she's the mastermind, that would be a plausible way for her to fool us into thinking her death was real. The only issue with Chisa faking her death would be that Munakata stabbed her body. Yet the survivor count did not go down after he did that, which would suggest the body is a fake.

Not only did Munakata stab the body, but Kirigiri investigated it. If the body wasn't Chisa, then I think Kirigiri would have found that out. My assumption is anyone in the OP is counted to the total, meaning Hagakure is counted as one of the 6 even though he's outside the game arena (though that does bring Ruruka's NG Code into question - does Hagakure being outside when it begins not count to her forbidden action?) Though I do have a thought now. Let's assume Chisa isn't the mastermind - could it be she died first because the mastermind knew she was a despair remnant? The idea right now is that the brainwashing video is creating multiple attackers who see the video and kill under its affects. However, Chisa is already a despair remnant and could be immune to a new video due to the alterations to her brain. Therefore she would have to be the first victim, because she could potentially cause the game to end if she chose not to kill. If this is right, then the only people who could be the mastermind are Tengan and/or Mitarai. Tengan obviously knew Chisa was a despair remnant all this time, while Mitarai could likely come to assume that fact due to asking Chisa to save Nanami and Komaeda back then.

Maybe Kirigiri did figure out the body was fake. That might explain why Hina was able to use her notebook to figure out who the attacker was. That or Chisa was pretending to be dead and switched in the fake body after Kirigiri left. lotus circle posted:My assumption is anyone in the OP is counted to the total, meaning Hagakure is counted as one of the 6 even though he's outside the game arena (though that does bring Ruruka's NG Code into question - does Hagakure being outside when it begins not count to her forbidden action?)  You might actually be on to something here. I think that's the proof that Hagakure doesn't count as a participant(at least, not after Episode 1). Hagakure is outside the game arena. If he was a participant, that would violate Ruruka's forbidden action, and she'd be dead on arrival. Of course, we don't know whether the "game arena" refers to the underwater facility or the entire island, so... Wyvernil fucked around with this message at 05:23 on Sep 14, 2016 |

You guys do know that the survivor count is not in universe, right? That means that if Hiro is part of the count, then him not being present at the site doesn't matter, as he is not a participant and thus wouldn't affect Ruruka. Also, Wyvernil posted:Besides, the survivor counter dropped from nine to six, and four deaths happened in Episode 9. Either Miaya doesn't count due to being a robot, or one of those deaths wasn't real. And if Monaca really had no idea who the mastermind was, then perhaps the mastermind didn't know about her, either (and thus had no reason to exclude her from the survivor count). Again, it's not the mastermind giving us the survivor count, it's the story.

I did like the whole Junkos thing after DR2 because when you go to final case of that game and see that image of all Junkos walking around you think of that Junkos thing right way and pretty sure people were talking about that even before the second game came out.

At the time there was almost no information about the game on the english internet I wouldn't know but I would guess going to places like pixiv for fanart or just searching DR in japanese in google images would show images of a different Junko with the Monokuma hairclips so people would know that she was most likely the mastermind.

COBRARocky posted:Im kinda curious why its still so prominent in 3 when the point of DR2's ending was Hajime rejecting both of them The series has been about Junko, who is obsessed with Despair. When they get rid of her, it will end the Hope/Despair debate. And unless this Anime deals with the second Junko AI, we haven't gotten rid of her yet.
