Well that was an unusually silly update, even for this game.

Ah, I see. So Kuzuryuu is going to be unavailable to hang out with for the rest of the game due to increasingly contrived circumstances, like Kirigiri in the first game, yeah?

Hinata can just sleep in the spare rooms left over from the executions. No muss, no fuss. I hope Kuzuryuu continues to hurt himself through increasingly grand gestures.

On top of everything else, dealing with a suicidal Kuzuryuu is just going to make this chapter's murder a lot more complicated, isn't it? If the students find his body in the near future, it might take a while for them to realize he was actually murdered and didn't just kill himself. We've seen a suicide that looked like a murder in the last game; so maybe we're about to see a murder that looks like suicide.

Kuzuryuu wasn't trying to kill himself, he was trying to wound himself. He's not suicidal, and I doubt he'll stab himself again, considering he dropped the knife and didn't try to keep stabbing himself. Stabbing himself was his way of repenting for Koizumi's death, it wasn't an attempt to off himself.

Looked like he was going for a seppuku to me, he just wasn't able to slice the stomach open after stabbing it. I don't blame him for losing his nerves at that point. He'll probably be back feeling even more ashamed than before. Also, you don't just start stabbing away if the stomach wound isn't immediately fatal, that's just gruesome. Cutting your throat is obviously much more graceful.

For formal seppuku, someone is waiting until after the person slices their stomach open to behead them. You can't really do this in the middle of, say, a battlefield, so decapitation isn't always a part of this.

Huh. Quite a gesture by Kuzuryuu. Not exactly healthy, but it is mildly encouraging that he wants to make some sort of gesture to the rest of the group - and that seemed to get to Saionji a bit. I'll be interested to see what Owari's up to. I'm reasonably confident she's not dead.

The whole "storing characters away for inordinate amounts of time in a hospital until the plot has a use for them" thing is stirring up memories of Persona 3. I guess the similarities don't end with both games having social links. Here's to hoping Kuzuryuu returns with a novelty second eye patch covering his stab wound.

Tunahead posted:Yeah, Nanami seems to have taken a very strong maternal role in the group. I hope she doesn't die, I think it would be devastating to the group. Compared to her counterpart in the first game, Kirigiri, I think she has significantly better odds of making it though, since Kirigiri was kind of at odds with everyone else, whereas I can't imagine anyone wanting to kill Nanami. I dunno. I always expected Kirigiri to live because she was cautious, but after Togami died I expected Chiaki to die after for a similar reason. Though that turned out not to be the case.

Owari probably just went off to punch Monobear and got mangled. Does that still count as a murder case? Because I could see Monobear trolling everybody by calling a trial out of boredom or whatever.

Both their eyepatches look really snakey, although Kuzuryuu's appears to be a spiral and Majima's is an actual snake. Both are brash, loudmouthed guys with a host of gently caress-ups under their belts who make really big gestures for honor's sake.

And even then, Monobear has guns and claws and other wacky devices, which I don't believe the other students have access to. So it probably wouldn't be too hard to tell who the murderer was.

CecilHoshino posted:Well, if you count that last "heh," that IS four "hehs." I was thinking both of those things as I read the update. That being said, Kuzuryuu isn't trying to off himself. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Yakuza have a strict expatiation policy; loving up can cost you an appendage and the most sincere apologies come with some self-bloodshed. Every single thing about his introduction and apology screamed "Yakuza etiquette", right down to downplaying his apology via goring.

I don't know how plausible this is, I'm a bit behind on my Dangan Ronpas, but do you guys think that Alter Ego will show back up in this game? I know, I know, the computer she was on was killed in the first game, but that was just Serious Hardware. Her Software Crap could still live on  Also, just look at how cute Fujisaki is. I wanna see that face again

I remember us talking about him awhile ago, and I think the general consensus is that Alter Ego is still alive, but also probably stuck in the computer systems of Hope's Peak Academy all alone. I'd like to see him again, but yeah, dead or alive he was left behind and pretty much forgotten after his successful rescue attempt.

This cast is just great. Kuzuryuu, Saionji, and Nanami had some nice character development here, and the others are really fun to watch be themselves. I was almost expecting Kuruzryuu to cut off his little finger, but I suppose this method is more....sincere.... At this point, I don't care which Character gets their Free-time. They're all turning out great, and Oren clearly has great taste regardless. Joenen fucked around with this message at 10:35 on Nov 16, 2013 |

Of course, if the "this is a VR simulation" theory is true -- I don't think anyone's mentioned this yet but we actually got some new possible evidence for that in this update, with Hinata's weather commentary -- it could potentially be that he'll show up in whatever system is running the simulation. Alter Ego vs. Monobear, Round 2, Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Yes, I noticed the weather commentary too, and it made me feel evidence for a VR simulation is slowly building. I don't really like that idea, but it might actually be true. I'd be surprised if Alter Ego makes a reappearance, but Umami being Alter Ego does make some sense. If Umami wasn't just working for Togami and friends.
