Akane'a a bold one, isn't she? :stare:

Is it just me, or is Togami's reaction to the voice a little... subdued? I mean, shouldn't he recognize it?

Huh, a few of our swimming students showed up. I wonder how all the other students are going to react to Monobear's sudden field trip of killing. It's good to see this group instantly banded together but who knows how long it will last.

Knowing Monobear, it's not gonna last long once he starts pushing motives on our cast. Actually, threatening them with the Monobeasts might be an effective motive... I'm gonna take this with a grain of salt and just consider this just some fourth wall humor, but Monobear's got the power to change the Game's interface. Along with the instant overcast weather, he seems to have a lot of control over the environment. It's still early though, so we'll see if he really is a reality warper or not.

Going off-topic here, but is the character in your character original? Because she reminds me of someone.

Koizumi in that fanart looks vaguely like Io from Devil Survivor 2, thinking about it. Io has a sprite with her hands up that looks almost identical.

Japan is one of a few countries that sets aside special cars on trains for the exclusive use of women (usually only in major lines during rush hour) to combat the phenomenon of people like Hanamura taking advantage of the cramped environment to touch and grope. Your OP once entered one of those by accident, and it took about a minute of intense glaring (being a foreigner, not an unusual situation even under normal conditions) until he got that something was wrong.

Yikes, that sounds rough. Do these female-only exclusive train cars indicate in any way that men are not allowed?

Wait, that wasn't incredible clumsiness? It doesn't seem so far out of left field that she'd just trip over a myriad of wires that might belong to Nanami's game systems that she inexplicably lugs around because she's a SHSL Gamer.

Honestly, the glow-in-dark paint is bugging me to no end. If you are a murderer, you want to (a) keep your concealed weapon concealed and (b) make sure that nobody notice your murdery action. Why would you want to make your weapon perfectly visible to everyone and traceable to you?

It was on the underside of a table though, which was covered by a table cloth. It's doubtful that anyone could actually see through that, glow-in-the-dark paint or not.

I mean, you could assume he got them when he received the threat, but it's also possible he got them right before the party, or after Nagito visited the market.

I'm just wondering, how would knowing this info help paint our understanding of how Togami ended up stabbed underneath a table?

This is actually a manga spinoff of an anime adaptation of a video game.

I think the script itself is actually pretty good (far better than the rest of the DR related manga so far). Too bad about the art.

It's not really poorly made, to be fair. I thought it was pretty fun even though the game isn't clear if you can jump on stuff as Usami or not. (I've never managed it.)

There was a little slowdown when you were circling big groups of enemies which was annoying, but it was a fun diversion and I don't know why Orenonen hated it so much. :iiam:

Did you not see how bad the hit detection was for those jumps? Those jumping mechanics are a travesty and it's a greater travesty that you have to jump on the end bosses several times to clear the levels.

Did any of the free time conversations in DR1 ever name another student who was alive at the time? I'm wondering whether this could hint at Gundam's potential longevity, unless that conversation with Pekoyama is altered if/when Gundam dies.

Pretty sure Oren mentioned that some free time conversations would be cut off if you wait too long. Sounds like this would be one of them if Gundam were to die later.

It is interesting to note that she is not in swimsuit, just like Saionji, for some reason. It may be a clue to her time of death.

As for the murderer, it would be rather difficult to tell at this point, but Pekoyama is really suspicious with her being wet all over. It is not a good plan to swim for three hours straight before having a swimming party with your friends either.

Why would either of them be in swimsuits? They both refused Sonia's invitation.

I will most certainly buy the Vita version once it's released, but unfortunately it's a console that isn't easy to capture unless you buy expensive custom hardware, which I don't see myself buying.

Fedule has the hardware; would it be too much to ask to get him to record segments? :v:

Alternatively, as long as the screenshot function of the Vita doesn't leave a watermark, then there shouldn't be any problem with switching for the non-trial segments.

And no, it hasn't fallen into the archive yet, it was closed at the end of May. It won't fall into the archive until the end of August, I think.

'SHSL' doesn't necessarily mean 'best in the world.' Hagakure back in the first game himself admitted he wasn't right all of the time, and if Owari is the world's best gymnast, why does Nidai have so much to criticize her on?

The kids have special talents, but they're not necessarily the best at them, they're just very good, with lots of potential. That's how I've always taken it, anyway.

I think the key here is the "High School" part of their title, which flat out says they're the best high school student with that talent. They might not be the best one around, but among their peers, they're the cream of the crop.

For formal seppuku, someone is waiting until after the person slices their stomach open to behead them. You can't really do this in the middle of, say, a battlefield, so decapitation isn't always a part of this.

What is motivating the killer this time around?Maybe there was something in that film that Monokuma made?

Komaeda's the only one to have watched and he was horribly disappointed by the lack of motive.
