Am I the only one wishing that half the characters don't end up so over the top as the ones we have encountered?

More to the point, that's how we get an almost-human computer program just days after Chihiro was talking about strong AI as merely a possibility. He must have spent the majority of those two years at school writing it.

The group finds the laptop, Chihiro sits down and starts typing code (maybe just to take his mind off things), and after a few days of this he realizes he just wrote an honest-to-god artificial intelligence. And he has no idea how he did that.

No wonder Chihiro never mentioned Alter Ego to anyone! He could barely believe it was real.

Man, if only programing was as mechanic and thoughtless as riding a bike.

What kind of teenage party(or any good party, for that matter) doesn't have booze?

I am guessing that the reason that there is no blood trail was because Togami went under the table himself to investigate it. I wonder what it was he saw, though. And I agree with the person who said the knife was probably taped to the underside of the table.

I don't put any stock at all in the changed numbers; high school students tend to grow. I mean just look at Togami!

And yet, in the first game, in a whole year they had either not changed, or it was barely noticeable.

A person murdered, using a bat, after going through a period of grief? Obviously the culprit is Shonen Bat.

As a former do-er of kendo I feel the need to "well, actually" here. Bokken aren't used for fighting but they are used for kata, so it's pretty typical to carry one around in your bag with the shinais. It's also considered bad form to hit hard, it's a sword, it's sharp and it slices through, it's not a bat. Even though practice swords are blunt weapons you kind of get trained to think of them as edged. It is totally feasible to kill someone with a bokken, a shinai not so much, speaking as someone who took one to the unarmored head without any lasting damage.

I share the same experience as you, former practitioner. Getting hit with a shinai is painful as gently caress, leave a real nasty welt, it may even daze you, but it would hardly kill you.

A bokken definitly could however, and as Slaughtermelon said, it is quite likely to be carrying it around just like your shinai.

Have you considered that it is the other way around, and it was Kuzuruyuu who was blackmailing Mahiru? Think of the game, it could be that those photos show that Mahiru was somewhere where she was not supposed to be, taking pictures, pictures she kept to herself instead of going to the police.
