I just want to take this time to mention that I really, really hope that if Kirakira appears in the game they won't be a walking Death Note reference and instead be someone wearing the gaudiest glitteriest suit known to man. Because that's seriously all I can think of after reading that name a million times.

I would rather not have a Syo Mk.2 character in DR2, but Peko does seems suspicious. After all, her voice actor was specifically requested right? The voice actor who is best known for Sailor Moon, the sparkly (kirakira) Soldier of Love and Justice. Of course this is just baseless speculation. But if Monobear's voice actor was the only other specifically requested voice actor, it might be important in being a reference to another role.

It may or may not mean anything, though my guess is they'll last at least till next chapter. I'm still suspicious of Nanami - she seems almost too competent, and with her shooing us away from the ruins will most likely be important down the road.

Prison Warden posted:Yeah, this is a fantastic tip. I'd been ardently following it, since the first LP when one day I stupidly googled a DR2 character's name. Google's first recommended search was "[REDACTED] execution" The only reason I'd be half willing to dismiss that is that I suspect lots of people would just be searching for executions of every character, whether they actually happen or not.

Phlegmish posted:It's like how Ted Bundy got love letters while in jail. People like that really exist. Pretty much. It's not all that uncommon for serial killers to have groupies and people sending them love letters and such. It's not like it's all that prevalent, but it's prevalent enough that there's actually a name for it (hybristophilia) and it's considered a type of paraphilia. Richard Ramirez married one of his admirers when he was in jail: http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/serial_killers/notorious/ramirez/terror_1.html But anyway -- Sonia just got creepy, haha. It's a shame Souda wasn't there, his reaction might've been interesting.

It's....it's Thin Ice!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSzlnJYgzpE It seems to lack the tricky gameplay element of, 'if the targets touch your outlines, your lines disappear and you have to re-loop them.' Unless there's an enemy-type in later levels/higher difficulties that do that? Did I miss something, or was Monomi completely unable to bounce on the monobeast while in Usami mode? Is she supposed to just circle the boss when invincible instead of headstomp or summin? You said that you only do that when the beast is stunned, but with Usami doing nothing, I was just curious.

Before we begin the update proper, I’d like to present a special extra video, featuring special guest Slowbeef. Enjoy!

What a cute extra video!! It was interesting to hear Orenronen and Slowbeef, and to see Monomi's game. It seems Hinata sort of has a soft spot for Nanami though, with the way he was saying she had her ("annoying") angelic smile? I don't know that might just be me.

I wonder if the fact that Sonia can read so many languages while the others (or at least Hinata) can't is going to play a role later. From Fedule's translation it seems like she didn't make anything up about the pamphlet, but she could easily "read" something to Hinata and have it be completely false information.

Coco Bear posted:I wonder if both games actually take place at the same time. It's possible the school is just in ruins on the outside, and it looks like the valve door is closed, so maybe the kids from the first game are still inside. The machinegun fire they heard may have been from when the monobeast killed Usami. I was thinking the same thing. The building on this new island seems the same as Hope's Peak Academy and the front doors are barricaded in the same way, which if it was only a replica of the school it wouldn't need. At the end of Dangan Rompa 1 we saw the doors open from the inside of the school, but didn't get a look outside, so they could have been walking out onto Jabberwock Island. If the school we are seeing now is the setting of Dangan Rompa 1 then we are probably seeing it before the doors were unsealed to let the survivors from the first game out. Also if the two games are happening simultaneously then it could be Junko controlling both Monobears since they would be pretty close in proximity to each other. For the Togami thing, I have been thinking since I saw he was a cast member in this that one of the Byakuya Togamis was actually a Super High School Level Con Artist which would explain why their weights were different.

Not unless the city where Hope's Peak was located was transformed into a tropical island by the Monoworld events or Junko somehow managed to move it there without damaging the building it can't be the same place at the same time. And didn't Monobear or Junko mentioned that there were groups of people trying to break down the door and free the DR1 students? I think I remember them hearing something at the door at one point.

Like the post I quoted said, the machine gun fire could have been from when Usumi got killed by the monobeasts, the building was right across from the bridge where the Jabberwock statue was. There was no guarantee that Junko was telling the truth when she said people were trying to rescue the first class. What reason do we have that Dangan Rompa 1 even took place at the site of the school in the opening? The Hope's Peak Academy we saw had all that space carved out under it for the executions and the courtroom, plus it had a giant trash pit underneath. Moving a school to an island doesn't sound as implausible as installing a giant conveyor belt and a mechanical press underneath a school without damaging the foundation. If the school is on a man-made island now they could have could pre-built the elevator to the courtroom and also the stages for the executions before moving the school onto the site.

It has been a bit of a long time since I read it but didn't DR Zero imply that the first game took place in a old not used school building? Like the one we see in the opening shots of both game isn't even the exact place where DR1 takes place. I remember at least the novel mentioning that there was once just a building with classrooms, library, labs etc all together(like in DR1) but then they built special school buildings for each thing....like a building for science and one for literature and the old building isn't used anymore. I think that was in the chapter dedicated to Ryouko talking about the school. EDIt: Ok I just checked and Ryouko does mention that new buildings are being built and that there many ones that focus only on some things but I didn't see anything about a old school building so it's on another part of the novel...or I just got confused with the preparatory school that is mentioned in the same chapter...ok never mind, maybe the building we see is the original school bulding but they built all the other ones around it and the headmaster decided to use the biggest and oldest one to lock the students.

Like the one we see in the opening shots of both game isn't even the exact place where DR1 takes place. I found what you're thinking of. It's in chapter 5: orenronen posted:According to my map, Hope’s Peak Academy’s campus is shaped like a large diamond. It’s divided into four quarters - East, West, South and North, each the size of a full-scale regular high-school. The East quarter - through which I walked now - was the heart of the academy, where the buildings and facilities used by the main school are located. Many of its buildings were still under construction, but there were also several magnificent, envy-inducing research buildings for various fields, much like Matsuda-kun’s Biology Building. In addition, it seems this quarter is also home to the staff building, which students are forbidden to enter. Hope's Peak having more than one building is a bit of a retcon from the first game, and they actually changed what the overhead shot the school looks like in DR2 to imply the campus is larger than just the one building: DR1:   DR2:   actually looking at it, that road in the upper left looks like poo poo I think the implications from DR0 are supposed to be that the incident where Kamukura slaughtered 13 kids took place in the old school building, and it closed down because of the cover-up. Then DR1 took place in that building, and so the kids found the murder-room, which was the scene of Kamukura's crime. That it's the "old building" and the only building on that part of campus is the retcon-explanation for why it seemed like the only building on campus in DR1. This hasn't been explicitly spelled out though, so I could be totally off base. I think it's what we're being led to think, though.

This is loving ridiculous now. I've been spoiled for every single murder and for a murderer because some people don't seem to realise that the anticipation is part of the game. If you see anything DR2 related, be it on Tumblr or here or even some little lovely forum, just leave the website, because chances are you'll be spoilt.

I'm going to guess the next murder will involve the serial killer we just heard about, as was discussed a couple of pages ago. Either a genuine victim, or a fakeout like last game. You don't usually bring something like that up without using it, so the odds of him/her being Chekhov's Serial Killer are quite high. Thing is, this serial killer only kills villains. So who in our cast qualifies as a villain? * Komaeda, obviously. * Gundam goes out of his way to sound like a villain, but never does anything villainous. Maybe a partial? * Kuzuryuu is an honest-to-god gangster and is probably a prime target. * Sonia idolizes serial killers but we don't know that she has done anything wrong herself. * Saionji is clearly some kind of psychopath. On the other hand, also a little girl. I don't think any of the others have much to recommend them as villains, exactly. And if one of the students is the vigilante, who could it be? * Hinata, although probably it's too soon to be messing with him. * Komaeda is crazy enough, but based on how he acted in the last case it would be unlikely that he'd go around killing bad guys. * Souda looks menacing but is actually kind of cowardly. * Gundam talks the crazy comic talk but his specialty is hamster training. Unless the victims were all nibbled to death it seems unlikely. * Mikan might be a clever cover but, if so, that is one hell of a cover. * Nidai is a good candidate here. Certainly seems strong enough, likes to go overboard and act rashly. Could see him deciding that bad guys weren't living up to the ideals of BEING A MAAAAAN. * Kuzuryuu could be some kind of double-agent but nah. * Peko is a good candidate too, since she's clearly a martial artist and seems like she might be in the same old-fashioned mold as Sakura (although not exactly). Plus she was interested in Sonia talking about her. * Sonia is almost certainly not, despite bringing her up. It doesn't fit. * Akane is, oddly, another good candidate. She's in excellent shape, also impulsive, and she knows what blood smells like and seems to have some weirdly acute senses. She could pull off Daredevil. I don't think any of the others are even worth considering. So, looking at the lists, I think the most likely options would be either Komaeda or Kuzuryuu murdered by Nidai, Peko, or Akane. (And one of these days I'll figure out whether to call people by their first or last names.)

My guess for the next death will be that photographer girl, Mahiru. Just the whole set up with her and Saionji just leads me to believe either one of them will be the focus of the next trial. It just seems more likely it's going to be her than Saionji. Saionji has a bit of character left to be discovered, and let's face it Mahiru is pretty bland. If it's the other way around and Saionji dies, I'd be a little shocked that they'd kill off such an entertaining character so soon. But we'll see soon won't we? Also...Nidai sure is subtle isn't he? CLEARLY something happened to Komaeda and he was involved. XD That scream and crash was probably caused by Nidai. (Or maybe even souda.) I bet Nidai punched Komaeda across the room and then Souda rolled him into some duct tape "katamari-style". lol!
