We're going to retry the first murder, woohoo!
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T05:10:31.000Z
So now we're hashing out what Rantaro's deal was.

Hello, random Detective Conan reference!
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T05:39:32.000Z
And now we reveal the switched shot put balls!
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T05:44:03.000Z
So Kaede and Rantaro became sacrifices to start the murders... :<
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T05:46:41.000Z
Aww, Shuichi...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T05:52:26.000Z
Shoot, is it Tsumugi behind all this after all?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T05:54:32.000Z
Himiko, please...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T05:59:37.000Z
Ohhhh jeez
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T06:00:30.000Z
Tsumugi just had to remind us she left to go to the bathroom around the time Rantaro was killed...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T06:14:08.000Z
I wanna believe in you too, Tsumugi... :<

"It's Junko Enoshima!"
"Wha--"
"Cuz... it's always been her."
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T06:25:36.000Z
Pfffffffffft
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T06:30:56.000Z
"Junko Enoshima is...!"
"Junko Enoshima is... WHAT?!
"...Okay, time for a commercial break!"

2019-03-31T06:31:57.000Z
Okay, it's time for me to get some sleep now. XD
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:00:52.000Z
Junko Enoshima... the 53rd.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:00:59.000Z
OKAY THEN
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:01:26.000Z
"Killing me never stops the game." So is it an endless loop after all?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:23:23.000Z
Looks like I was right to not trust the flashback lights after all... before I just... sort of... accepted them anyway...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:29:41.000Z
Yes, Maki. You tried to kill Kokichi over a lie. Well, that, and he was holding your boyfriend prisoner, buuuuut...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:30:50.000Z
And it seems that the "they were all normal kids who were abducted and given fake Ultimate talents" idea was also true?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:35:25.000Z
That's right... Kaede and Shuichi both said they remembered being dragged into a car and kidnapped when they woke up in the lockers at the very start.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:37:34.000Z
Doesn't really match up with "we willingly signed on for the Gofer Project and went into cold sleep as Hope's Peak students."
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:38:50.000Z
Especially since when they first woke up, they were in their "normal" uniforms, not the Ultimate outfits they supposedly fell asleep in.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:43:59.000Z
Surprise! Tsumugi is just that dedicated to her cosplaying!
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:47:32.000Z
Ooooookay... someone's trying to dethrone Metal Gear Solid as the meta-twisty-fourth-wall-breaking-mindfuck series...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T17:55:30.000Z
So, going back to that kid from the start of this chapter... is this game all just some massive reality TV show?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:01:00.000Z
It was
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:03:00.000Z
I... okay then... this is getting way too weird, tbh. There's got to be more to it, though...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:03:08.000Z
...right?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:08:33.000Z
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:10:42.000Z
Tsumugi said this is all her cosplay. That makes it sound like it's something she started herself.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:11:43.000Z
But the series somehow changed from video games to "real fiction" and has been going on for 53 seasons?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:13:23.000Z
And no one in this super peaceful, super boring outside world has any problems with abducting and murdering dozens upon dozens of teenagers for entertainment?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:14:51.000Z
If this is some kind of social commentary, I think it's about ten years too late.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:28:06.000Z
Okay, so we're back to "they were all normal students who had Ultimate identities implanted."
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:29:06.000Z
Okay, but then, what about Rantaro's game? Was that another "real fiction" show?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:31:48.000Z
So then explain what's going on with Keebo! Is he a robot or an average high school student?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:32:31.000Z
If the latter, then what about his tech upgrades?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:36:54.000Z
No, no, Kaede and Shuichi remembered being abducted
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:43:53.000Z
I... what. You're telling me everyone auditioned for an ungodly popular TV series that's on its 53rd incarnation now, and only Rantaro had any idea that waking up in a strange school meant "cool, I've been selected to participate!"?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:44:34.000Z
This is just getting too farfetched and stupid. This has to be part of the lie.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:46:58.000Z
Yeah, no. The second game pulled a big mindscrew on the survivors during the sixth trial before revealing the whole story, too.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:48:39.000Z
So if this is all fiction, and the survivors have nowhere to go home to... then what happens to them after their game ends?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:49:39.000Z
Do they just show up in the next game like Rantaro until they inevitably get killed?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T18:56:33.000Z
If it's all scripted, then what's the point? (Insert comment here about how reality TV is also scripted, etc.)
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:02:59.000Z
No, the point of Danganronpa isn't despair.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:03:31.000Z
It's hope. It's always been hope.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:07:15.000Z
Hmm, I'm seeing a suspicious lack of Keebo in despair here...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:10:07.000Z
Bad end~
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:11:36.000Z
KEEBO REVEALS HIMSELF AS THE TRUE PROTAGONIST ALL ALONG!
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:16:51.000Z
An audience survey? Really? Have you seen the internet? How do you think we got Boaty McBoatface?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:24:45.000Z
So if there is an audience watching, then shouldn't Tsumugi falsifying Kaede's trial have consequences? She broke the show's rules.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:25:23.000Z
And we still don't know what that "the killing game will continue until two people remain" rule was about.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:31:06.000Z
So if hope wins and the mastermind is executed... what's forcing them to continue the killing game? The outside world?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:32:56.000Z
How does playing by the mastermind's rules let hope win?!
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:33:18.000Z
In order to beat the game, you have to beat the mastermind, remember?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:39:32.000Z
I'm gonna be honest here, unless it turns out the reality TV reveal is all a lie as well, this ending really kind of pisses me off.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:41:20.000Z
Humanity is so depraved that they'd universally adore a real life killing game? Everyone is seriously okay with this?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:42:21.000Z
And the "lol, it's all fiction!" twist also makes me feel like the writer just played too much Undertale decided they wanted to be all meta, too.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T19:43:12.000Z
Awww, sad piano music... is this Clair de Lune?
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T20:06:43.000Z
"Nope, fuck this game. We're gonna break the cycle by... killing ourselves... which will make the audience decide they don't want this game anymore..."
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T20:13:01.000Z
I mean, I like the theme of how "the only way to win is to not play" and you advance by refusing to do anything in the minigames, but...
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T20:33:08.000Z
One debate and suddenly this worldwide audience of diehard fans is all "nah, forget this after all?"
just lexi.
2019-03-31T20:35:31.000Z
I think it's less that they're depraved naturally and more that they've become depraved out of boredom... huh. Sounds familiar.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T20:59:05.000Z
.....
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T20:59:46.000Z
Okay. I've watched through to the end and NicoB's wrapping up his thoughts before we move on to bonus content.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T21:00:44.000Z
I have... feelings about what direction the story went in at the end, there.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T21:01:12.000Z
Not very complimentary ones, to be honest.
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-03-31T21:01:47.000Z
Apparently not everything Tsumugi told us was the truth, but it's still... urgh.
just lexi.
2019-03-31T21:09:36.000Z
I feel we're supposed to come to our own conclusions on what's the truth and what's a lie.
just lexi.
2019-03-31T21:09:54.000Z
(Not that you'd ever guess that with the fandom, but... you know. Fandom. Toxic wastelands. Yes.)
RaindrpsOnRoses
2019-04-01T23:39:57.000Z
Fair enough. I think I'll just set the canon aside and focus on AUs where everyone is alive and getting good therapy, tbh
