I'm starting to think that the surviving cast helped Naegi do Danganronpa 2 just as a way to flip the bird at all these lovely guys

Especially Togami. I do not see how he and Munataka could exist in the same room without there being bloodshed. Maybe boxer bro has a bunch of Genocider scars under his tank top.

On the plus side, looks like Fukawa won't have to break the news to Asahina that her brother's dead. :v:

Also, it matches the op. But does that then imply that we already know who will die and exactly how? That would kinda suck if it did.

The order definitely seems to be different, so we don't know who will die when.


It does look like we know how but knowing Kodaka's writting it's probably a fake out of some kind, especially considering I'm pretty sure it shows everyone dying.

Will there ever be a Danganronpa where the character who has the weird comedy design makes it to the end?? Poor Bandai, I actually kinda liked him, hoping he appears more in the Despair episodes because he barely did anything in this and was only the guy to demostrate the bracelet thing.

Also wow at that ending! Damm this series, you can't do that so fast!

I liked the first episode of Despair and have pretty much rolled my eyes at most of the Future stuff because the Future Foundation is so drat lame and has all these really boring looking characters except Great Gozu. Great Gozu is loving awesome and it's gonna suck when it turns out he's the killer.

I'd say the Monomi girl because she doesn't talk walk or accept to be touched, but that'd be a bit too obvious I guess.

Or maybe Naegi's brainwashed and does things while he sleeps. :v:

Afaict, it also looks like SHSL Seitokaicho's restriction is that he can't open doors. Wheelchair girl might be she can't be touched and Kirigiri's looks like it has something to do with Naegi.

People are already theorizing that Yukizome is Junko because of Gozu putting his jacket over her corpse. It's like the LP thread never left.

I actually thought that might be the case during the first despair episode, given how she was so easily able to win over the class and seemed to have a bunch of different talents. But then I realized that it made absolutely no sense.

...So of course it'll probably be the case.

Yukizome is probably the mastermind in some way or at least is very deeply involved with all of this more than just being a teacher to Despair Group/future foundation member

Naegi blows his brains out in the OP so there's that.

Also the housekeeper didn't slash her wrists, but that just makes me think she instigated her own death to set things off even more.

Speaking of 4chan theories.

And then somebody proposed what if AI Junko downloaded herself into Naegi. :v:

E: Alternatively, the "must kill somebody" is a rule that gets rotated among the participants, so there is no real traitor.

Uh oh. Do I use Ariadne thread or Goho-M?

The entire episode I was thinking "is this some sort of promotion for ZTD? The awake time had better not be 90 min".


The Aoi died and I was sad, although they made it pretty clear beforehand that she would be the one killed.

As far as theories go, I like the idea that everyone is in a different building from the one they were in originally.

When Kyouko woke up, for instance, she noticed that the kunai that was in the wall wasn't there anymore.

Too bad he's probably going to die, just like the girl who only JUST made a reappearance in the series! :argh:

You need to be a badass first.
Having lived through the 2013 Dangan Mafia era with friends, I find it heavily ironic that the Final Killing game is basically a game of Mafia.

I don't know if I agree with Bandai dying in such a lame manner as "being forbidden to witness any violence", but god, that ending was a punch to the gut. Guess Sakura's letter to Asahina telling her to survive is pretty much rendered useless now, huh?

Since the developer mentioned Back to the Future as a potential inspiration for DR3, this might be a thing that actually happens.

Maybe that explains why Chiaki is in the Despair arc. She's actually the Ultimate Time Traveler.

Having the despairing incident averted through time travel might be an interesting way to reboot the series for the upcoming V3 game.

The developers were originally going to kill off Kuzuryu in chapter 3 of DR2, but killed off Saionji instead to make Peko's death mean more. One would hope they would apply the same logic here but :geno:.

No despair, just apathy.

They did the same thing with Ishimaru in the first game, annoyingly enough.

Although it has died out quite a bit in the last year or two, the Werewolf variety of Mafia has been a minor fad in the Japanese mystery fandom starting just about the same time the first DR was published. There have been quite a few card versions of the actual game published (many of them themed on licensed properties, including a Dangan Ronpa one), a few non-fiction books about the game, and countless cheap mystery novels using it as a premise. Off the top of my head I can also think of at least one murder-game video game that has a version of it as its hook (the Tsugi no Giseisha wo Oshiraseshimasu trilogy), but I'm pretty sure there are more I'm forgetting.

As for the betrayer having a "must kill someone" as his rule, I think that's a little strange given how the rules are presented. They're "something you must not do" rules, and I guess it's possible to word it in such a way ("Let everyone stay alive" or something), but it's a little convoluted, so I don't think that's what's going on.
