So I started developing this theory when I first saw Nagito, and the lineup didn't help at all to discourage it, though I haven't fleshed it out to full completion as of yet. The characters in DR2 aren't 1:1 replacements or reworkings of the characters from DR1. They are, instead, each comprised of two characters from the first, mixed and matched to suit. Nagito seems to be Naegi but also not Naegi (I can't tell if that's Yasuhiro or Leon peeking through behind the optimism). Akane has clear relations to Aoi but also some of Leon's attitude towards her chosen sport (and general brash attitude). Nidai is clearly Sakura with Mondo's inspirational manly yelling. Saionji has some of Junko's appearance and madness blended with Chihiro's unassuming appearance. Which brings us to Kazuryuu. Picture if Chihiro had been brought up not with the lesson that they were too weak to be a man, but instead that they had an empire to aspire to rule and manliness to live up to, and instead overcompensated in the opposite direction while still having consistent, lingering doubts about their masculinity. And we know Mondo was stuck in his brother's shadow, and couldn't live up to the image and ideal that Daiyo presented. I therefore posit that Kazuryuu is both an amalgam of Chihiro and Mundo, and that he's not a crossdresser, but instead deeply insecure about his masculinity due to his physique. This will probably lead to him murdering the poo poo out of someone to prove he's a Real Man.

Ah, but putting him aside... this is the one I am most interested in.
A delightful serial killer who wears masks of hero characters from all over the world, killing off criminals one by one!
S...Sonia...?

John Dyne posted:Then they can't come in through the door that her body was blocking, and they find the crime scene (and foot prints) as the culprit wanted it to be found. Hinata couldn't enter the other door because Koizumi's body was blocking it, and then they find the clues that were planted/planned. It will also look a lot like the Twilight Mystery murder scene. I think we're overlooking a more obvious reason for the body to have been moved. If Saionji was hiding in the closet when the murder happened, watched the murderer escape out the front door, and then went to check on Koizumi, she might have tried to lift her friend up to a sitting position to check in on her and see if there isn't a chance of preventing the inevitable. Then, on realizing there's no hope left, she would despair and abscond through the other door, leaving the footprints in her wake. Having it match Twilight Mystery could easily be a coincidence.
