Clearly, this sticker purchase is going to be used to frame Hinata later when someone turns up smothered by those stickers we found in the Titty Typhoon. It's all coming together...

Makes me think the other four outfits are references too, but I don't recognize any of them. To make things absolutely clear - Time Travelers is a Level 5 visual novel released around the same time as SDR2. The poster here is part of a mutual advertisement - TT contains a DR reference as well. Also, TT is full of explicit references to BttF. Maybe too many of them, in fact.

Please don't do this. Anyway, while we were given some very interesting information this update, just like the last update none of it can be used to start to pinpoint motives or possible avenues of murder. But we have been given some interesting information about Hinata, namely that he is in some way tied to or even directly part of a Hope's Peak Prep. I'm not sure if this is meant to be the same as Hope's Peak Academy, though I'm assuming it isn't, that being the case the possibility that the latter influenced the former might be important. We do seem to have a slightly 'higher-class' cast this time around with an heir, princess, and world-class chef.

Who What Now posted:Please don't do this. Something that just occurred to me - if we assume Hinata was at the Prep school, that does seem like it would support the theory that he's a SHSL Despair or someone with a similarly bad background, since that means it's possible he was involved in the uprising.

Crazy theory time: what if Hinata is a Super High-School Level Time Traveler, and this game actually takes place in the past? Maybe once the Despairing Incident got into full swing, the surviving staff of Hope's Peak sent a student back in time to prevent the apocalypse from happening. If Hinata was from the prep school, he might have been one of the few who didn't participate in the revolt, and was chosen because the school needed to preserve the few remaining students with real talents. Of course, then Monobear (or a SHSL Despair member) was also sent back in time to thwart his efforts. It would explain why all the technology in the electronics stores are old, and why Sonia keeps bringing up old television programs. Perhaps we're meant to think it's just because she's European and behind the times, but in actuality it's subtle foreshadowing. It would also explain Togami's presence on the island - he's not the Togami from the first game, but an older relative whom also attended Hope's Peak Academy. This also explains the "traitor" that not even Monobear knows the identity of: Hinata is not even from the same time period as the other students, let alone the same class. Just a crazy thought I had. Wyvernil fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Oct 10, 2013 |

So, the motive this time is being trapped in MegaMan Battle Network 4? Monobear's evil truly knows no limits! orenronen posted:It's just like... You know how when there's a girl you like, and you can't wait to take her clothes off? Monobear and Hinata were just fantastic in this update. I guess that Nagito is more like Naegi than I originally thought, since I know that Naegi definitely would've just given in and watched the movie. He probably would've had that same disgusted reaction, too.

I don't know why, but I love Komaeda's irritation at being given the Mystery Despair Theater 3000 treatment. Also, for those who are curious, according to xe.com, 1.5 million yen (at the time of this posting) is approximately $15,255.08 US or 11,280.61 euros.

I really hope there isn't some "reveal" later about those last few sentences in the file that Hinata found, because it was still extremely easy to read them and there's been more than once while playing a mystery game that I read through the "obscured" information only to have to wait for the main character to use an item instead of just figured the drat thing out. Regardless, that is a pretty goddamn important computer. Between that and Monobear, it seems like Hinata's a prep student that was part of some uprising against the main school. Which actually makes me excited for reading more DR:0, considering it contains both Junko and the Prep School. I get the feeling there's going to be some all-out war going on in that book.

Not like I actually know any of this stuff in advance, but it bears mentioning that Hinata was able to put enough of the pieces together to know that Hope's Peak Academy closed down and that a reference is made to "surviving students", which Hinata immediately assumes refers to his class - which would not be at all plausible if not for the reference to being forced to kill eachother (and of course he doesn't know about the 78th class). All in all, I'd say you can safely file this one under "Hinata is not Naegi". Fedule fucked around with this message at 03:03 on Oct 11, 2013 |

Leon was the most forgettable character in DR1. Lets hope Hanamura doesn't suffer the same fate. Actually, Leon is probably at the moment more memorable due to the hilariously easy way he got caught. I occasionally struggle to remember Maizono's name, though.

Hinata being just a prep-school student might make some sense, given his opening monologue where he absolutely has to get into Hope's Peak. I could see someone like that jumping at the chance to get into the prep academy, regardless of the cost.
