Kuzuryuu actually looks like he's got a cardboard cutout sprite in that screencap. You thinkin' he'd be one of the people we can talk to in the mini update? souda is a 40 year old virgin. in-cre-di-ble.

In DR1 Naegi's claim to fame was him being "a little more optimistic than most people" and despite being given the title SHSL Good Luck he ultimately turned out to be SHSL Hope. Operating on similar logic, if the story paints Hinata's self confidence and cool personality as something outstanding it might mean that he does in fact have a skill; I'd guess that he is a SHSL Confidence man. I don't know how that would play into the story, but Hinata could be working with someone on the outside and have set up some kind of "long con" to take down Monobear.

That's some incredible self confidence you have!

I'm not sure that Hinata's been depicted as especially self-confident; Komaeda's claim here is just bizarre Komaeda-logic. Merely associating with Super High-school Level students, in Komaeda's eyes, is an incredibly bold and audacious thing to do if you're not on the same level as them. Hinata doesn't know his own talent (so it could potentially be something along the lines of Super High-school Level Good Luck, which Komaeda evidently doesn't consider a 'real' talent), and yet he's prepared to walk straight into a room full of talented people without even worrying about it! Like an equal! It's a level of self-confidence Komaeda can't dream of, but I don't think self-confidence is being portrayed as one of Hinata's defining characteristics anywhere outside Komaeda's head.

 I think there was a horror movie that looked like this.  And it seems like Saionji is still pissed at Kuzuryuu, so there's still some conflict among the group. Perhaps that will lead to the next murder.

SHSL Con Man's an interesting idea, though I don't think there's much evidence for it besides an offhand comment from the resident crazy and Hinata's almost desperate desire to get into Hope's Peak. Still, if it pans out it would likely explain both who the class traitor is as well as how they got here, assuming the SHSL Con Man talent was used to talk his way into Hope's Peak rather than being formally recognized as a talent. All in all, it sounds more likely than most of the other non-Prep-School-related titles.

I think it's more likely he plain doesn't have a talent- I can see Komaeda surviving right to the end and the reveal that Hinata has managed to excel despite lacking any SHSL talent would be the ultimate slap in the face for the creepy bastard.

Is this the first time Tsumiki has used Kuzuryuu's name? Because it feels really weird to see her call him -san instead of -kun. I went back a dozen updates or so to check, but there's nothing, and I'm not even sure if she's ever said his name ever. Also "durr-hurr Kuzuryuu is secretly his little sister and she just realized that from his medical chart." I did notice though that Sonia's been calling him -san all this time anyway, so maybe it's just not that weird.

drat, that's a creepy hospital. For some reason I have a feeling that just to mess with us, this upcoming murder will take place in a totally non-horror movie manner. Then again, the hospital is a 3d building, so that implies that our next murder will take place there. ...That actually made me think of something. If the hospital is the next murder location, then how does that big storage room in the club factor into everything? Maybe the body will be moved, although I don't remember if the club and the hospital are close enough for this to be feasible, or maybe we'll be looking at another double murder, if this game wants to emulate the previous one. It's not the first time it's happened, after all: in both first cases, someone tried and failed to murder someone else with a knife, and in the second, a serial killer was shown as a possible murderer but ultimately proven innocent, and the motive was a secret about someone's past.

Every alien abduction "documentary" I've seen* has at least one "re-enactment" featuring gray aliens around an operating table; I think it also showed up a few times on The X-Files. My big question is, are those automatons supposed to represent aliens, or humans in alien masks? *I watched a lot of trashy TV in the '90s; don't judge me!

Especially if they have an elaborate plan to distract everyone while they're doing it, or hide it with some other action.

Clarste posted:"durr-hurr Kuzuryuu is secretly his little sister and she just realized that from his medical chart." In all seriousness, though, I don't see how that could work, given that the sister seems to have a sever case of dead. It's possible it wasn't actually her that was killed, but so far we've heard so little info about her that it's impossible to say.

Perhaps... Pekoyama-san shielded him with her body, in order to save him.
What?! She managed to do that while being attacked a million sword-wielding puppets?!
She must have been really intent on protecting him...

Well, Nanami has been against mutual killing so far, so it's not absurd to believe that she'd want to bring everyone together by pointing out what they've lost as a result of the game.

I think it's interesting too, but for now it could just be that Nanami's self-aware enough to realize how real a danger the group's in of falling into fatalism, panic and DESPAIR, just like Monobear wants, and is trying to keep people's spirits up. That said, it is something to keep an eye on.

I like that the current protagonist is not a neutral pushover like in the first game. That said, the creepy broken thoughts in the intro when he sees the school and the lack of memory make me think something weird is brewing. I'd put good odds on him being the traitor this time, unknowingly: a SHSL Manchurian Agent, if you will. Also, the Monobear medical staff pics are just asking to be turned into ironic Obamacare gifs.

I will be honest, the realization/revelation that Pekoyama really did keep Kuzuryuu from getting more seriously hurt (and the fact that Kuzuryuu knows it) made me get a little choked up. I mean, what? It's totally rain on my face. Also, Nanami has kind of been fulfilling the SHSL Hope role here instead of our protag, so that's what I took that to be. She's the one rallying the others, saying they should believe their friend died a hero.

I wanna give the game the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not going to make the punchline THAT obvious. They pulled some blatant stuff in the past, but this fruit is way too low hanging. Maybe the game wants us to assume that sparring will be the punchline, and use THAT was the bait and switch.

There was a part last chapter where Owari mentioned that she got massages (from her step mother's boyfriend....), so maybe Nidai has been giving her massages, and he does it much better, being a SHSL Coach and all. As evidence to support it, she mentions her body getting tingly, which I could see someone feeling when anticipating a massage.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:I think Fits is pointing out how, in Japan, the number 4 is typically related to death. Yup, Four = Shi = Death. Most Hospitals in Japan just use fourth floors for storage or something NOT related to patients or medical procedures or surgery or what have you, as I've been told... I hope MB is just loving around at Kuzuryuu's expense, because to a Japanese player, that would probably come off as a huge faux-pas and too obvious of an indicator for it to mean Kuzuryuu's about to die. ...Probably. Honestly, I'm worried for Akane, Nidai but most of all: Tsukimi. Of course, the game's been heavily implying trouble heading to the pair of bruisers, but now she's alone, in the gently caress Creepy Hospital, with all of her attention on the invalid mobster as everyone else bails. (also, good job guys on that. Have you learned nothing???) This paints a much more dangerous red over her than the other guy staying in room #4, or the simpleton who wants to go kung-fu one of the remaining death robots.

Actually, my guess is that Nidai was massaging Owari (in a non-sexual way obviously). It's something that would feel really good and also be reasonable for a coach-like figure to do to an athlete.
