If he is Togami's relative, then he has to die before the game ends because in DR1 Monobear mentioned all of Togami's relatives were dead. So for that to be true and for Fatogami still be Togami's relative, this game needs to be happening simultaneously to DR1 and he needs to die before the game ends.

Or Junko could have been lying.

Instead of B-movies, it's anime movies.

"Zach, I've had a certain film on my mind. An adventure movie from 1979 and the directorial debut of a bona fide legend. You know, a dashing thief, a beautiful princess, a corrupt duke, and a royal secret. That's right, it's Hayao Miyazaki's The Castle of Cagliostro, starring none other than Lupin III."

The DR1 parallels continue with Mikan basically being a less antagonistic Fukawa and Ibuki sharing Celes' talent of occasionally being Akagi.

I really hope for more from Ibuki, both because what's presented so far is annoying and because wasting a talented actress like Ami Koshimizu on a loving K-on joke is a crime.

The whole finger bit is very specifically a Yakuza thing, which is why a lot of older Yakuza are missing their pinkies, but the art and "baby face" are more associated with Al Capone style gangsters, so it's a tossup really.

...You know, I get the feeling if Nidai gets killed, he's eventually going to run into Sakura and they'll break out of the afterlife together through the sheer force of their combined badassery. SHSL Despair better watch their backs :unsmigghh:

Going on the assumption that they're going to take a different tact from the first game, if we consider Nidai to be the Sakura character, I'd actually peg him for surviving. In the first game, Sakura was considered to be basically invincible, and even Junko expressed uncertainty at being able to get rid of her, being pleased when she offed herself. Nidai, at least physically, seems to occupy a similar sphere, but this time I'll wager on him actually living up to expectations and living straight through to the end.

That, or the entire afterlife thing will be made meaningless by the existence of a Super High School Level Necromancer.

It's still impossible for me to see Peko as anything other than Yu Narukami in drag. Oh well, from what I've heard she's the most popular from the DR2 cast, so I'm expecting fun thing.

Well that's a different character for FukuJun. It's kind of weird that he's using that particular voice for Hanamura though, the Lelouch one would actually fit the smug/condescending lines a lot better. Maybe the contrast is the point.

And oh joy, a Penguindrum AND Nirvana reference, all in one character!

I think we've found the two I'd least mind being rid of.

So while our Super High School Level Chef definitely stole the show this update in the "creepy" department with his poison-sucking talk, can I just take a moment to draw attention to the fact that although she's rather outwardly naive and innocent at the moment one of Sonia's listed interests is the the loving occult?

Calling any member of Milky Holmes a detective is vastly overstating their mental capacity.

Well drat if Chef didn't make me straight up smile here. Shine on you crazy diamond I guess. Hiyoko declaring that they should go kill UMAs was also somewhat amusing.

On the other hand, K-on gets worse the more I see of her. I hope she dies or at least turns evil.

Stop being so creepy and immoral god, how dare you observe behavior and make guesses in a mystery story?

As for the whole Aoi=Akane thing, I do think her insistence on swimming is a tad suspicious. It wouldn't be quite so bad, but the existence of Nagito and Fatogami just makes you want to find the other old cast members.

I'm going to put forth this one last bit because I found this incredibly offensive, then I'm dropping this poo poo entirely until there's a reason (i.e., the character is revealed to be a crossdresser and I say "hey, y'all were right."). I am not "grossed out" by the concept of a crossdresser. Being grossed out by gender/sexual identity concepts is a pretty lovely way to think, to be honest, and I'd appreciate if you stopped trying to turn my distaste at your obsession with a pet theory into "oh you think crossdressers are gross!"

Well in the last thread, people were pretty much saying that exact thing when people figured out whatshisface was a crossdresser. I recall one choice remark along the lines of "I hope they do an autopsy soon so all these creeps will finally be proven wrong" which was, hilariously, immediately followed by the update where the truth is revealed.

As far as DR2 is concerned, yeah people are mostly just making calls based on genre conventions and the author's previous work. Welcome to loving mystery fandom, it's what happens. Not much you can do to stop it really, short of locking the thread (which is certainly an option, though you then prevent people from posting fanart).

I'm more confused about Kara no Kyoukai, which does indeed include that, except the unassuming male is far removed from being a main character and the novels are actually about the girl brutally murdering an increasingly mad series of opponents with a sword.

Not that you should read them rather than watching the films, as even the original author has said repeatedly, but it really doesn't fit the mold.

Yeah it was most likely just some goons. Anyway I think most Tumblrites have probably just ditched this thread, because there's several LPs of SDR2 on tumblr which have sprung up specifically because of the constant paywall throttling/lack of mirroring. At least one of them I know is nearly finished with the game actually (haven't read it myself though, I like Oren and Fedule's writing).

Long story short just use adblock or whatever.
