And now I'm wondering if this is too much of a spoiler for people still reading the DR1 thread.

It's a spoiler inasmuch as it might suggest that Togami is going to be alive at the end, but it's still no guarantee. Given that we still can't decide whether or not these Togamis are the same person I don't know that someone not aware that it's from DR2 would still have reason to assume it was, similar to what someone else said above.

At the very least it's not really a spoiler for the contents of this game at all, presented the way it is.

I think monobear as an avatar for orenronen has always been for the best. He's the one who translates everything and gives us the updates, so him having an avatar representing the thing that essentially orchestrates the game worked out well.

Well all of Oren's notes in the LP are marked with a little Monobear so it makes more sense.

That doesn't make it okay for that handful to be spoiled.

In any case, I'm pretty sure that images of a fat Togami hit the Dangan Ronpa thread pretty early as well. I remember reading posts about it, and people assumed that it was someone else who looked like him. For that handful, this might actually be a pretty huge spoiler since it does pretty much confirm that DR2 has Togami.

Something about Togami is rubbing me the wrong way. I don't know what it is-maybe it's the small subtle difference between his more selfish actions and game one, and his slightly more selfless mannerisms now, but I get the feeling it's just an act... I think he's probably going to be the one to kill someone, probably later in the game though. Don't have much base on that, but it's a hunch.
But for murder 1... I get the feeling that miss Princess Sonia might be the victim of this. Same feel as Maizono and Probably just me looking into expectations, which really should stop. As for her killer- I don't know at all. The game needs to run a little more before I can make a full out guess, like I could kind of do last game.

Because you're awesome with them and I really want one for Dangan Ronpa. I think I remember you making some last thread- but it's lost somewhere in the eight-hundred pages.
Also Also- Orenronen is SHSL Let's Player and Fredule is SHSL Translation Aide. That last one doesn't seem as epic as I thought, but it still is.

I want those Monobeasts. No You don't understand. If any company made a set of those Monobeasts I will buy it up.

I'm really at a lost of words here. I mean the whole intro has basically been boosted up to level 11. We have a much powerful cast that was gonna beat down Monobear black and white butt only to face Giant Robots. They be screwed big time.

It does interest me however that they do have Kazuichi here. He's about their best bet at ever beating them. Nekomaru might be strong and Peko sword could be under anime logic strong enough. I just don't see it happening nor do I see spike ever going down that path.

I kind of hope that they do get destroyed in a nice final fight or at lest Kazuichi gets to take them apart at some point. I'll be piss if its just some kind of barely get away and explosion finish.

I was pleased to see that they didn't kill off a student so soon this time. The characters are pretty good, so as with DR1 it's a shame to lose them, especially early on when they're not fully developed. Because of that, I have a theory about who the first victim will be, but it's metaguessing so I'll leave off.

They didn't kill off a student so soon last time, either - the first DR1 victim (Maizono) wasn't killed until halfway through Chapter 1.

I'm not sure if this theory about Fat Togami was thrown out there or not: Assuming he's the same Togami from DR1 and this is a direct sequel, we know that Fukawa survived the end of DR1 as well. Since Fukawa/Syo's serial killings were based around guys that she had the hots for, Togami felt he was at risk of being brutally slain by Syo. In order to make himself unattractive, he just fattened himself up until she was disgusted with him.

What was Monomi thinking by just standing in front of the robot overlord like that? There's no way that could have accomplished anything other than prove Monobear's point. It really does make me think that Monomi and Monobear might be operated by the same person, or at least the same group. The fact that both animals had some sort of presence set up on the island beforehand really makes that to be too much of a coincidence.

The person voicing monomi is more than likely the same person voicing monobear. If I remember correctly, you never hear them speaking at the same time. Besides, instead of operating Usami, there are a billion better ways to prepare a counter-strike against monobear.

Its likely the mastermind putting on a show. It had excellent results.

I was all ready to copy paste who Monomi's voice actress was from Update 2 until I realized that you meant you think the same person is controlling both Monomi and Monobear, which is actually interesting, if largely baseless at this point.

Considering the ends Monomi was used to achieve, it's not necessarily far-fetched. Though I don't think it's the answer.

By the way, Usami/Monomi is a teacher and Monobear is the headmaster of Hope's Peak. Isn't it normally the case that a teacher should obey the headmaster and carry out his/her commands?

I feel like Byakuya-sumo's role is simply to portray Togami-as-murderer in the second game. Like we did, I'm sure the majority of the devs thought it was a 50/50 shot that he'd get around to offing someone and/or pissing someone off to the point that they killed him, and figured they'd experiment with it in the second game while throwing the readers for a loop by having it be very nearly the same guy.

It's also still possible that (like was speculated upon with DR1) the POV character is on acid and sees terribly exaggerated versions of everyone, so, slightly chubby and self-inflated Togami turns into a blimp.

All 16 students are currently present at Monobear's grand entrance. The only way he is being controlled in the way he was the last game is if a currently unknown 17th person is doing it.

Of course, there are many other potential explanations for Monobear's current status and many possibilities regarding a theoretical "mastermind" besides someone sitting in a high-tech control room personally controlling Monobear, but that particular option is probably out unless there's an unknown factor in all this.

One of the very strong alternate possibilities.

The question then must be: Why does Monobear suddenly have an independent AI? He certainly didn't seem to have one before. Something changed. If this is really the case, I'm sure we'll end up with an explanation for why Monobear, who used to just basically be a puppet, may have become a autonomous being in his own right. And then we may very well have a mastermind of a different shade.

It is an accurate description of the character in question. It is a person named Togami. He has a self-admitted weight issue (though he claims it's actually the thin people who have the problem). He is Fat Togami.

Heh... Spider-man... Web searches... That's funny. I should've trademarked that one. Could've made a mint.
Hey guys, guess who is a fan of Monobear: X-Men supervillain Arcade!

In the new Avengers Arena comic, he kidnaps 16 teen superheroes previously seen in Avengers Academy, and tells them that after 30 days of mutual killing and Murderworld death traps, only one of them will win this new game.



I don't think the writer is copying Dangan Ronpa per se, since it seems from the covers that they're going more for a Battle Royale/Hunger Games thing, but still it's fun to see the premise of 16 teens with strange talents turn against each other in a different media.
