Oookay, Rantaro coming in with our daily mind fuckery...

"This isn't your first..." First what? Is this some kind of time loop thing? Have we been in Zero Escape all along?

And awww, Himiko.

Because of course Keebo's lab goes straight into Miu's lab.

It is a neat character quirk that Keebo hates "sci fi" and would much rather have a traditional Japanese aesthetic, though.

...I am now officially jealous of Tsumugi's lab.

Not enough to think being trapped in a killing game would be worth it, mind you, but still.

Hmm, now that I think of it, every lab so far has been tailored specifically to match the tastes of its student. Angie had her favorite materials, Tsumugi even had a replica of the bar where she used to work...

...But not Keebo's.

That's going to come into play somehow, I know it.

Ohhhhhh no. We do not need another cabinet full of poison in this game, nope nope nope

What theme could this chapter's murder end up following? Dying for the good of the group, maybe?

Sakura committed suicide to protect the others (she'd been ordered to kill someone and took the loophole, iirc).

Robo-Coach and Tanaka had their duel to the death because otherwise everyone would starve to death.

And now the "motive" is a key card, possibly the one that opens the secret door in the library. Wonder how that'll end up playing out.

You "can't save anyone?" You've saved everyone from getting punished in the murderer's place three times now, you goober!

Gofer Project, huh?

Yeah, I'm starting to think Kaito hasn't been pulling his weight in training because he's too sick to pull it off...

But who cares about that, because now it's sexytime again!

Wiiiiiith... Maki!

NGL, I think it'd be funny if the whole scene was just the two of them staring awkwardly at each other all night.

Okay, the fact that the other party sees Shuichi as Shuichi, even though he's still playing a role in their fantasy, makes this concept less icky if you think about it too much.

There's also the implied "just a mutual dream" thing, I guess?

Maki deserves her happy dream... ;^;

...oh right, both chapter 4 deaths were of the big, burly character, too... Gonta, please don't die... :<

...okay, they had me going with Himiko and the "tree trunk dick" line

"A world where the killing game doesn't exist!" Yyyyeah, I think she's talking about the giant Xbox, the one that's supposedly powerful enough to create a new world or something.

Pfft, the scene with Himiko's "training."

I want to see Himiko and Trucy Wright meet somehow.

And now it's time for the abridged version of Maki's social link!

..........

Nico has the right idea.

NNNNNNNNNOPE

And double the movie references in today's Monokuma Theater, yaaaaay!

"My stomach hurts a little. Can we talk somewhere I can rest?" Kaitooooooo... ;^;

...and I'm with Nico. Why have we suddenly switched to old shojo manga art? o_O

Good idea, Miu. Trust the virtual world created by someone you don't know when you found access to it in the killing game. Bravo.

Seems to me like she's trying to run away and abandon trying to get back to reality.

Big surprise, Monokuma made the program. So that's a double dose of nope right there.

And we haven't even gotten to whatever the hell he and Kokichi pulled yet...

"Oh, I just deleted all the stuff that could be a weapon."
And Ryoma is just facepalming in the afterlife right now.

"There's a secret bait of secrets hidden in there~"
Well gee, let's go right now! It's not like taking the bait ever leads to anything bad, right?

Listen to Tsumugi, guys. She's just plain sensible.

Maki's probably only going along with this so she can keep Kaito out of danger as much as possible.

Then again... "Don't say no just because it's dangerous."
How about he says no because it's an obvious trap?

And Tsumugi folds under peer pressure... sigh...

...welp, I didn't see that art shift coming.

Okay, sure! Just let Gonta and Kokichi go off on their own with no other witnesses, even when you know Kokichi's plotting something. That's a fantastic idea!

Calling it now, Kokichi's or Monokuma's going to steal the signboard and trap them all on the far side of the river.

Okay, Miu being the one to wreck the bridge is a bit of a surprise, but Kokichi was whispering with her earlier...

Aaaand now Miu's dead.

And Kokichi starts showing his yandere side.

I bet he logged Kaito out just to place suspicion on him.

"Now that Kiyo's dead, the yandere role is open, riiiight? Mine!"
