Maybe Togami bulked up to make Fukawa lose interest in him - or ate her depending on how crazy the outside world still is. But, if Biggie Smalls here is Togami, I get the feeling he's not long for this game seeing as we already know a lot about him.

I just realized something else that supports my "theory" about Fat Togami. He clearly inherited his mother's love of donuts and his father's love of physical activity.

Yeah, it's a horror movie staple - whenever someone returns for a sequel, that person is usually one of the first to die.

Which sucks, because Togami was one of my favorite characters in DR1. :(

Red-haired girl looks like Mukuro to me, although that might just be the freckles.

I'm intrigued by the fact that we see Naegi-esque hoodie guy before we really meet our protagonist. I don't know whether to predict that Not Naegi will be fantastically important or that he'll be killed in the first case.

I kinda hope not. The last game had great chemistry between Togami and the rest of the cast, and it only looks to get better now that he's fat and gives off a different first impression. He probably won't make it to the end again but he's definitely not out in the first round.

I am quite willing to believe that these characters aren't actually the final cast, they're so "In your face" with the previous game character references. Something is definitely going on here.

You're going to die.
Personally I think the most likely explanation is that he's part of the large Togami family. Given that Byakuya's backstory was all about his family, I don't think it's much of a stretch to think his relatives could show up.
So he's his cousin, or something. That's what I'm going with :colbert:

Most of these characters are so odd-looking and so obviously related to the previous game's cast that I find myself hoping this is all a giant fakeout designed to mess with the heads of people who'd played the first game, and most of them will shortly be revealed to be illusions and replaced by the real cast.

It's possible they'll grow on me though.

Oh man this is exciting. I didn't come in til way late last time so I'm pumped to be here from the beginning.

First impressions: I think the chef guy actually looks really cute. I am excited for the big beefy guy and I hope he doesn't die soon. Also the kid with the white hair and the hoodie looks like a cracked out Naegi. drat some, lay off the drugs.

No one else has asked this, so I'm wondering: how the hell is fat Togami in high school again? At the end of DR he's 19. Maybe Fatgami is his son or twin or something.

If he is Togami's relative, then he has to die before the game ends because in DR1 Monobear mentioned all of Togami's relatives were dead. So for that to be true and for Fatogami still be Togami's relative, this game needs to be happening simultaneously to DR1 and he needs to die before the game ends.

If he is Togami himself, then I have to wonder how the hell you can get so fat in a post-apocalyptic world. Like, that takes a certain type of skill.

Well, Togami did make it clear in DR1 that he's part of the DR-Illuminati and all, so I'm thinking he might just be a clone that was made before the Most Despairing Event.

Makes as much sense as anything else, at least.

Or how he got trapped, again, in a classroom.

Right at the start of this game we can already tell some of the designs are close to the ones in DR1, which might probably toy with us in some shape or form, can't wait to see when the bad stuff starts to happen.

Also, we can spot the fanservice character, so no need to look any further than that. (now if she dies first, there goes the fan service).

He accidentally stumbled into Hope's Peak again between DR and DR2. There he discovered that if he eats the bodies, no one will ever find them, so no trial will be ever held

Yes, but that great chemistry was mostly his interactions with Fukawa and his interest in “winning” the first monobear game, both of which we’ve already seen before. Also, if the same shenanigans start to go down he’s a giant liability not only because of his past experience, but the fact that he’d have to be more thoroughly brainwashed so he doesn’t remember any inconvenient facts or similarities about the last game. He's a giant target in more ways than one.

He's the sole heir of a vast fortune, he's got to look wealthy as much as hoard it to maintain his position over the lesser people. That or past trauma's turned him into a compulsive eater.

Perhaps this is a younger class of Hope's Peak, or something? So, fatty Togami would be the real Togami's sibling, or something, and it would explain the suspicious lack of the huge vault door and Monoworld.

I love Fatgami way more than I thought I would so far.

The "compulsive eater" theory might actually be accurate because he seems like he might be sensitive about his weight. Did you see his reaction to the 'fatso' comment?

I felt that was more, "We have more important stuff to talk about" than being sensitive about his weight. If this is indeed DR1 Togami, and not a reletive, I believe that his superiority complex wouldn't allow him to feel bad about himself for any reason. In fact, you're all lame for NOT being fat. So there.

Also, speaking of character designs, can't wait for the next update, I wanna see a sprite for that ninja looking guy with the purple scarf, but I don't wanna search for him online for fear of spoilers.

I dunno, things change. And maybe it's not so much being sensitive as he felt any more jabs/comments would be annoying and he didn't want to deal with it (superiority complex, yeah, but a 'he knows his weight gain is his fault' sort of thing idk)
