I want Kazuichi executed solely because he voiced Dio in VLR. Gundam though has an army of hamsters, and I think that's the kind of thing we can all support. I don't know if I can get behind him as best character yet though, Nagito's constant appealing for hope from our pessimist protagonist is endearing him to me.

I'd like to echo the belief that if Chiaki is killed, whoever did so won't get any sympathy from the thread no matter how horrible their execution. Peko is a little more interesting, it's very rare for the kendo stick wielders in anime to be anything short of extremely capable so I can see her becoming the Kirigiri equivalent if there's going to be one (Hinata is much more clued in than Naegi after all) or she could just fall to being an easy red herring in a trial if any kind of bladed weapon is used. Also her design has a bit of the shrine maiden about it to my eyes, and that's all kinds of cool.

Coolguye posted:Something was bugging me about Akane's name the last day or two, so I finally went back and looked up the meaning of it. Memories from way back when I was taking Japanese kept telling me that name seemed symbolic. In my experience the kanji used in names is something often mentioned but rarely relevant. So I'd say you're overthinking things. I had the idea earlier that Togami could die of a heart attack at any point and set off a huge rush of Death Note references. Its not something I'd put past this series if it is going to go for a fake-out trial again.

BioEnchanted posted:Something I've noticed about Togami's behaviour: he seems more willing to talk with others this time around. This time, without Naegi, he has taken the initiative to attempt to unite people, instead of locking himself in the library like in the previous game. Well we don't know if there's a library yet. metropoliszone posted:Well, there's only two rows of people, so maybe people are just behind them? This was my thought, I don't see anything even remotely execution like in there so I'm assuming they all watch it like that rather than being there in person. I want to hope people aren't going to go through the video frame by frame looking for poo poo but drat I know it's going to happen.

I also find it kind of interesting that the game hasn't been as blatant as the first with the potential weapons. Like DR1 had the cafeteria right from the start with it's nice sharp knives and the toolkits and sewing kits ready to cause carnage from the beginning. With the exception of I think some pointy things in the store there's been nothing here so far that really jumps out as a potential murder weapon. So I'm just as interested in how the kill happens as who does the deed.

Strange Quark posted:Hell, you don't need to be in Japan to get some Ramune. Any Asian supermarket will likely have them. The one my parents run is mostly Chinese focused, and even they stock it. It's also always around at anime cons, though the vendors will charge you out the rear end and then some for it since it's something everybody wants. Hell I've been able to get bottles of it at non-Asian places, the fudge shop in Niagara Falls has it (or did when I was last there). People should try it, it's awesome.

ferndavant posted:Gotta chime in. Our local sushi place serves Ramune as well. They have two different flavors, that lemonade-y one, as well as a bubbly strawberry one. I strongly recommend it. Goes surprisingly well with sushi, and it's really fun the way it's corked with a marble. Strawberry is easily my favourite kind, but it's nowhere near as common as lemon or even melon. The marble is really what makes it for me, I used to smash bottles to get it out and keep a bag of them.

CommissarMega posted:I am suddenly filled with pity and admiration for my sister, who decided to learn Japanese Don't get me wrong, I think all the above makes Japanese a fascinating language, but me am too dumb to speak anything but English, thanks. I think this was asked before, but if it was, I forgot the answer; where are you from, orenoren, if I may ask? Grasping the basics isn't too daunting (I'm doing it myself) and some people immerse themselves in the language (spending time in Japan, listening to Japanese music, watching Japanese TV etc) so they pick a lot of stuff up by just hearing it over and over again, the same way most of us learnt whatever our first language is. Kanji is terrifying however.

I desperately want it to be the Dangan Ronpa fighter that was in that survey a while back. Or it could be a Monster Hunter clone (because weren't they loving all during that) where you play as Monobear hunting the survivors of the 2 games Manhunt style. I'd play it.

Son Conan posted:Wow, I didn't expect Togami to be the first to go. I expected to see him give into despair as he found himself incapable of keeping the others from killing each other. My current thoughts on these are: 1) Christ knows, but Monomi/Monobear's controller is an interesting shout. 2) I'm going to say she's still in the office, she would've noticed the breaker go and flipped it back to put the lights on. Which makes the kill very risky since you're counting on a third party giving you enough time to get the job done. 3) Probably the streamer you can see hanging down behind the table, the idea that the knife was attached to that is my favourite theory here so far. 4) I doubt it, Togami would've had to know the knife was there (if it was on the streamer) and I don't think he went to the lodge all day. Plus it would make no sense for him to point out that a knife was missing from the kitchen if he planned to use it as a murder weapon later.
