So I decided to look up From Dusk Till Dawn and good lord that movie sounds uhh... special. While sticking a random vampire invasion in the middle of the game would be amazing I think Bobulous had the right idea and it's meant to be more metaphorical than anything. Whoever wrote this game and/or the light novels sure seems to like American movies. Or maybe Tarintino's work just happens to be really popular in Japan for some reason? I've always wondered how the average Japanese person would react to something like Kill Bill.

In any case, Kodaka, the game's author, was a film major in university, which may explain some of his interests.

Alright, Sainoji is loving with them all here. I think she might be the mole or however that all works out. I really like where they're going with this cast. Who do you all think dies next?

Hopefully Saionji. Without the pervert, the bully, and the misandrist, things should be overall more pleasant in the group. Well, aside from Komaeda, of course. And given that SDR2 seems to be doing throwbacks, I wouldn't be surprised if Saionji and Mahiru's relationship mirrors and ends up like Ishimaru and Mondo's.

Gensuki posted:Turns out Hinata is the traitor. The amnesiac protagonist being the true villain always appealed to me. Ha ha ha. Although I am eagerly anticipating a moment someone joins Hinata in his room and notices he's got a shrine to Monobear set up in it! It would be a nice subversion of the "go find all these hidden objects to advance the game while having no effect whatsoever on the plot" phenomenon. Seriously, Hinata ought to be keeping those figurines in his sock drawer or something.

The Saionji bit was probably just a joke about the first genuinely nice thing she's done so far turning out like that. I wouldn't look too far into it.

Man, gently caress off, Saionji. Weird, creepy, unrealistic and possibly manipulative gently caress.  Although, it should be entertaining to see our despair-filled adventures continue into the Titty Twister.

Maybe... except that she was really unhappy about everyone willing to forgive and forget Kuzyryuu trying to murder Koizumi. He also stayed silent while Saionji had a big frame nailed around her. That's the kind of thing people take personal. Saionji is not dumb, so if she was planning on getting revenge, pretending to be dumber, weaker, softer, and more incompetent than she actually is, is a good opening move.

I wonder who will be assisting in this particular murder, as that seems to be a pattern so far. This high school class certainly seems to be more willing to get their hands dirty than the 78th: only two murders, yet four people have been involved thus far. I'm wondering if this hill evokes a particular location/district in Japan - perhaps a certain slum or red-light district? I can definitely see where Kessler's favela-type vibe is coming from.

You know, I'm really wondering why the shadowy figure(s) that Monomi is "middle management" for (Faction Hope?) haven't intervened. Monomi asked them as much directly. For them to set up this island seems to imply that they have as many resources as Monobear does. Do they think things will repeat and they should let these new kids defeat Monobear without their help? That would be almost as bad as Nagito's creepy hope deal.

Heads up guys, pause your Youtube watch history before you watch any of the LP's videos on Polsy. I managed to get spoiled on an upcoming execution because it got put in my recommended videos and I saw the thumbnail. Luckily, I don't know the context, but it's still a bitch and a half because I was totally spoiler-free.

(Of course, this will have relevance in the trial somehow.) She doesn't seem the manipulative type, anyway. She's been very straightforward and seem to be operating on the same level as Nidai and Ibuki intellectually. Of course, as this is Dangan Ronpa, I am probably horribly wrong.

She's been very straightforward and seem to be operating on the same level as Nidai and Ibuki intellectually. I think this is true. Saionji isn't manipulative, which should be obvious given how she doesn't even try to hide the fact that she's a spiteful little bitch. If she really wanted to play up the sympathy, she probably wouldn't have ended the moment by randomly insulting Tsumiki. Frankly I think the idea of people suspecting her of being manipulative is humorously circular, since the only reason you want to see her in the worst light is because she's been too straightforwardly cruel throughout the entire game. Anyway, I'm guessing that she'll either live to the end like Togami or get killed by Tsumiki or something. She makes a pretty good victim, honestly, because she can easily arrange it so that everyone hates her immediately beforehand. Sort of like Oogami from the previous game: everyone tried to kill her, but who succeeded?

Honestly, what's the problem with making silly predictions about who the next one to die is? Or would you prefer we get into more meta talk about how the thread sucks, because that's all the best posts. Really, I take back what I said about Souda. He's kind of necessary to keep this game grounded. Between Gundam, Ibuki and Nidai this group is getting pretty wild.

By this point in DR1 we had an attempted murderer in Maizono, actual murderers in Leon and Mondo, and Togami messing around at crime scenes. also i guess japan's greatest serial killer or something w/e

I suppose after the gut wrencher the last trial turned out to be, no one thought of subduing Nagito and throwing him into a cell again, and Akane is probably still eager to punch the poo poo out of him if Hinata gives her the word, but... Uh... Maybe the group should be doing SOMETHING about him? Even if it's just passing along a whispered "hey, NOBODY trust this rear end in a top hat" comment or actively starting a No-Nagitos-Club instead of locking his rear end up, I must question if searching the island and trying to find a way to escape really takes priority over making sure the Nucking Futs guy isn't given freedom to potentially ruin any plans being made...

Well, she could be planning on killing to escape and just faking everybody out until it's her time to strike. I hope not though, that would be a bit cliche even if Celes hadn't done basically the same thing in the last game.

It also suggests that, deep down, she's just as insecure as Mikan is.

Yeah Saionji is lovely, I just think it's funny that people love Komaeda for being a horrible gently caress but Saionji is when they go "I just can't suspend my disbelief this character is really mean" Basically 3 of our surviving members so far are asshats but only Saionji gets poo poo when really, she's the least lovely out of them.

I'd say that's because, while she's comparatibly less of a jerk than both of the other, what makes her a lot less palatable is that the cast never seems to aknowledge she's a pest. Komaeda and Kuzuryuu draw the kind of reactions you'd expect, fear and hatred. Saionji can be as much of a spoiled brat and downright evil at time, especially toward Mikan, and no one seems to bat an eyelid. It can be a bit aggravating.

She's just a bratty little kid who'll probably go through some character development seeing as this chapter started with a bit of that. E: Also I don't feel bad about Mikan because she's such a steriotypical victim that she could get killed and I'd go, well, okay. She's really boring to me with her, "I'm sorry for breathing" shtick.

Agreed, she's clearly childish, and it's probably because of her life prior to the game, but having the cast never even bother to tell her to quit it or get the hell out of their face is kind of stretching it. Even moreso when it's a character like Nidai that's left speechless and babbling when she gets petulant. Her behaviour is acceptable, the reactions to it, less so.
