Like seriously, don't read
It makes me nervous to write something that could potentially spoil others
Okay starting with Kuzuryuu (end of ch2) GAHHHH oh my god now I see, I was waiting for this flip around at the end of the chapter, but nothing this dramatic
And now enter Ch3 and we have a wonderful hospital drama on our hands. Eye-patch Kuzuryuu is adorable man. NIDAI WHY
Also good stuff with Ibuki and the concert and all that. So far I'm curious as to what the hell is going to happen with Akane. Like, I know she's in a similar situation to Kuzuryuu, but I feel like it'd be
too clean if they both live on to live for the people that sacrificed themselves. I mean, I THINK Nidai is going to be okay for now?
Saionji needs to hurry up and do something different, although I understand she's supposed to be the opposition to Kuzuryuu in the group and as a result I'm still going to find her offensive.
Drama's gotta come from somewhere man. I just am sad because I usually like Saionji types but I can't stand her
It's gotten better though
Final thoughts before I dive back in for more of Kuzuhiko's translation... WHERE IS MY GUNDAM CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT MAN
That is all. Also I still like Mr. Mechanic. I feel like he'll be pretty useful someday when the plot begins to thicken. Maybe. Hopefully. But this game never fails to dash my dreams.
I'm gong to go make crying noises as I read the rest of this.
MY STOMACH AND EYES ARE CRYING
Upupu.......
Everyone's got cabin fever, it's getting out of control~
I love how Ibuki sounds like Ishimaru now
Also I felt like she might've had a motive after the night before Despair Fever, but apparently everyone is bonkers now but Komaeda still wins the award
I freaked out when he brought up Togami though
Don't Kill Nidai off right away noooo
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. I knew I sensed great potential in you
I so love basket cases and this series is so full of them
Hiyoko becomes kind of endearing but is still super irritating.
But yeah, Peko and Souda are my favorites * A * I do wish Gundam got a bit more though
Where are you in the chapter though?
Komaeda is barely breathing, Kuzuryuu is bitching about monomi being a stuffed animal.
Yeah, I really like Souda~
Mikan suffocating Hinata-- round 2
See, this kind of tame, comical fanservice is a-okay!
But that flashback dream... is Hinata from that public school side branch of Hope's Peak that was mentioned in DR Zero? On man, no wonder he's a cynical bastard if he had to deal with people calling him elite
Referencing the twins from last game, are we, Komaeda? HOW ARE YOU NOT NAEGI
IBUKI WHAT THE GENTLY CARESS
Holy shit hanging is always scary, but the paper bag makes this... and like, how is it not just her fault and oh geez.
I knew after the concert something was DEFINITELY wrong with her, since they cut off her performance. She also made the mention that she couldn't stand being on the island without new music earlier
Reminded me that most of the victims and culprits seem to breath that feeling of desire to leave before shit goes down.
If she was so willing to listen to others and take commands, could she have been ordered to do it
It's always chapter 3 man
Though to be honest I was suspicious of one of them dying this chapter, since they seemed to have the least relevance to the group now. Except Saionji, but we shall see
Yeah, I totally called Hibiki, but not Hiyoko
Except now ALL THE GIRLS ARE GONE HEYYYY
Okay I think Saionji definitely died first, and I think I know how the stage was set to give Hinata the wrong impression.. but why and who even thought of this if there IS a 3rd person involved
YOU SHOULD TAKE A GUESS I am always really curious who people think did it, haha.
Well I'll start with who I think DIDN'T do it
Gundam because he's da best and can do no wrong as a higher being. Also he has a good alibi. Second, Mikan is NOT involved because she was with Hinata too long. I realize she could have orchestrated something
And I feel like Akane isn't intelligent enough to be involved. That and until the murder occurred she was a total mess.
That leaves Nanami, Souda, Sonia, Komaeda, and Nidai (?)
Hmmmm. I feel like my expectations will be shattered, so I feel like I can't rule out Nanami and Komaeda from my suspicions. Nanami is less likely due to her appearing too soon
Who ever it was had to unveil the still dead Saionji by removing the carpet from the stage during the Gundam conversation.
I don't want to suspect Souda, but he has done less...
No, it isn't him. No way. Hm...
NO, Gundam is too simple an answer. Out of the question.
Komaeda being it early would be interesting.
There's still a lot of my intuition saying that there isn't a culprit, but I know there is... Since they died from injuries in the same area, it could have been a set up by one for the other.
But the timing makes no sense that way, Saionji appeared later! Unless Komaeda or someone decided to cover them up after seeing Ibuki, who killed Saionji, commit suicide
To make it more interesting again.
I feel like I can't say a specific person until I have more information. This one literally has no immediate leads that were hinted to me.
Somehow I feel like Ibuki definitely could have set a lot of this up
S-souda?? Could it be Souda? Oh man, the only one that could have seen her would be through surveillance on the stage. Unless it was Kuzuryuu on the other end.
No wait, they said that there wasn't a third person in this
Nidai!!!! He got scrapped, didn't he?
Oh god, as I enter the trial, final thoughts...
Akane, Nidai need some story in this, She may be more involved than I though
Akane is the empty one, huh...
Phew, I'm glad my last guess before the trial was right
Oh god what happened to Nidai, I'm about to find out
I will yell about Mikan later, that was a pretty fun part of the trial. That execution though... Not nearly as good
That is a lot more robot than I was expecting, I thought he'd get a cool cyber punk arm or chest piece or something, but I forgot how ridiculous this series is apparently.
All the twilight syndrome girls are dead, how fitting
The robot turns Komaeda on, that is so cute
Wait, twilight syndrome? But yeah, aaall the girls are gone. By which I mean most of them
All the girls mentioned in twilight syndrome are dead I think
This theme park is... wow
which chapter are you on now?
but like, damn, I wanted to use theme park as a location for a DR inspired RP campaign some day
Chapter 4 exploring the island
Ah, Monokuma, did you just quote Katanagatari, or was that just a translator similarity
"However, by that point, you'll have been torn to pieces" hahahaha
omg I totally didn't even catch that
Dawww Gundam and Sonia are beginning to sound like each other yay Gundam has someone like him now he ain't no loner
Oh no waaaaaiit I know what's going on here! You're planning to give Gundam more screen time and stuff with Sonia because you're going to kill him off, aren't you!
That's what this is, isn't it?
You know what's still bothering me though
In Mikan's Trial she didn't visibly die. She just went out into space, which is something this series has done before with little reliance on reality. ....?
I predict one of the work out-aholics is going down this chapter as well as... sniff... Gundam
NIDAAAAI Well I got one of them right, let's see about the other
My only prediction on this murder from the get-go is that Nidai would only be open to attack if he got damaged by the terrain while helping another person, then betrayed. Since that "death room"
undoubtedly where the hammer came from, I wager he went it there with the other person, brought the weapon into the room, the pillar fell and he helped the other person.
While asking for help fixing himself, the culprit bashed his body with the hammer. That or he pushed the pillar onto him.
Because the hammer has no damage or marks on it, I don't exactly understand everything yet.
Or they set a trap for him with the wire and he pulled down the pillar onto himself
Godammit. This one seems somewhat obvious now. We have already been shown the speed and accuracy of Gundam's 4 demons when it comes to pushing buttons
He needed to hit the sleep button to have a clear shot
Where was the other playthrough of SDR2 that finished?
TTTT I knew it was Tanaka, there were too many indicators. Wtf on that floor switching secret though, wow.
Where can I find the video for his execution where I won't see the last one?
I'd say check the DR wiki because they've got the vids linked there but be careful not to scroll down. Alternatively, read the rest
and watch the executions after that, which is what we did
I Youtubed Gundam's execution
I didn't get spoiled, I just did "Gundam Tanaka Execution" and didn't scroll past the one on top
That's if you want zero chance of seeing something you shouldn't, which I would heavily rec for Chapter 5
NO WAIT I TAKE IT BACK I JUST YOUTUBED IT AGAIN
But yeah chapter 5 is really heavy and it's good to avoid spoilers
From the text description it sounds like his execution is reminiscent of Mufasa from Lion King. I'm so sad right now. He even has the low voice for him.
Ah, okay, I'll ignore it for now and at least get the rest of these chapters read. Although all this heavy ch. 5 mentioned are getting me worried.
I feel like the game isn't going to let us keep all the "important" seeming characters this chapter. Whether that means Kuzuryuu, Komaeda, or Nanami... ugh
It can't be them, but I could easily see one of them being killed
Where did the hamsters go???
Oh god literally EVERYTHING is on the final island
Oh god Komaeda you dick, why do I feel like if they kill you off here, they kill off the plot
But if he does die he WON'T die a killer. I know it. He has already said he plans to kill the traitor.
And going by this game's logic, it means he won't.
I wonder how safe Souda is, making all these orders
the traitor Nanami or Sonia
WHY THIS MEANS SHE'S NOT SAFE
Gotta say though, the SHSL skills come in a lot more play in this game. Like, the SHSL Luck and Mechanic and so on. The only ones that I consider aren't as openly "used" in a literal sense are
And Mafia member, although all of them have leadership ability
(Although Gamer came into play in the second case)
That it has to be Sonia or Nanami
Kuzuryuu has Peko to live for, Akane has Nidai, Komaeda is crazy ass bitch...
Oh wait, does Gundam count for Sonia?
YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST THOUGHT OF
Hinata has no one that died that directly destroyed him
Nanami and to a MUCH lesser extent Komaeda are the only ones that also don't have too many of the connections to those
Sonia is WEIRDLY UNCONCERNED
By the way Kevin, I just thought I'd let you know now! For that masterlist Li sent you, the picture bandwidth goes to hell in chapter 5 part 0 so as soon as you get to that part I'd switch to the wiki
Would you say it's better for Chapter 5 as well?
Just know that chapter 0/6 take up half of the wiki page so don't scroll down too far!
The masterlist is better for chapter 5.
Actually wait, yeah that makes sense, she was the only one that was ever very nice to Monomi
Look at that death oh my god
WOW I hope that means it is only him and not both of the important characters
Sonia seems pretty reliable, so does Kuzuryuu and Nanami, so if any of them die at least we have someone capable of thinking
if it isn't Monomi's... there's only one person on the island that would write like that
And it isn't Akane, hahaha
Nanami is compared to a 5-year old a lot, and she only plays games so it makes sense if her writing is that bad. Plus, SHE was the one that followed Hinata in there. That was the biggest tip to me
The person closest to you is never the one you can trust, right?
WHAT TOGAMI IS AN IMPOSTER KOMAEDA WAS RIGHT
Oh god, self inflicted damage on Komaeda, why am I not surprised though
Oh no... domino set up to make the first person in the room the culprit? Maybe
Did no one actually kill this guy? Wow
Oh wait, there was only one, so he made it a test of luck for his friends in the end
God the whole set up was a multi layered trap that would kill him in the end by someone's hand
Now almost all my favorite characters are dead TT__TT
My top 3 favorite girls, and 2/3 of the guys I think
Oh wait Komaeda's dead too, where do I even place him gaaah
god looking back at that video is terrifying
THE PASSWORD IS 1137 OH MY GOD
Now I see why it is a 30000x spoiler even if you finished 1
All but one committed mass suicide
Everything has made sense so far as for the revealing except for Saionji's growing. The hell is that
Naegi is finally mentioned
They are all the survivors of SHSL DESPAIR
It makes sense! That's why Mikan's true personality was so bat shit
And it's why Komaeda wanted to kill them all
Gundam's eye from Enoshima?!?!
1137 coming back to save the day man
He doesn't want to forget Nanami waah
Gah better good of humanity and all that
That was a lot to take down at once, I will sit on this for a while. Junko being final boss was pretty great though
I still wonder about Komaeda though. His name and all that. So he had her hand, did Gundam actually have her eye? And perhaps a few other characters I'm not thinking of...?
But That was a classic anime ending, I'm impressed it all came together like that in the end. I had a few suspicions from reading dangan zero, but oh geez. All the computer virus stuff at the end was dense
I'm finally safe from video stuff now I think
all the characters had a major person that they didn't want to forget in the end... except who's was specifically for Souda??
Nanami: the girl out there for all the fans that enjoyed and went crazy over Alter Ego
Because AI with emotion is a story that EVERYONE will love oh ouchie ouchie
