I like how anything Togami chooses to do with his money is worth getting offended when someone insults it. Even if it's getting obese.

And I hope Souda somehow lives to the end, 'cause I feel really bad for him already. :(

Oh hey, stuff happened while I was away.

I don't know why everyone voted for Togami, I can't imagine we won't find out what his deal is in the main game. And Gundam's probably going to be an Ishimaru type, where you don't really learn much because he's so crazy. I would've gone for Kuzuryuu and Mahiru. Oh well.

Anyway, I had a feeling that Sonia and Gundam would hit it off. After all, who's going to be friends with the weird kid, if not the oblivious girl? Wasn't expecting Hiyoko and Togami, though. :stare: Also, Souda appears to be channeling the Ubergoon. Not a good sign.

Sonia also likes the occult, and no-one fits that better than Gundam.

It looks like Togami slipped those on after the lights shut off, given how paranoid he was about everything earlier. Unless there's another pair around, it must have been someone who could see in the dark well. Do any of the students fit that bill?

Or he killed himself by falling over, I guess, since the nurse helpfully reminded us about that just before.

So was slipping laxatives into the food or whatever it was that made Pekoyama sick just trying to sow dissent by making her absent during it (which seems like kind of a crapshoot in many ways, but hey), considering they had to have flipped them with this engineered outage? Seems like a lot of work for something that might not pay off.

If Hanamura is the culprit I'll be surprised, since he hasn't really been the focus of any of this evidence and whatnot. Usually anyone you can suspect is fairly prominent in that chapter.

I meant their characters - although a lot of people are claiming Hanamura was trying to kill Maybe-Naegi after finding out he was plotting a murder is a little similar to what Leon did.

Honestly, I have no clue where people are coming up with that stuff. How in hell are Leon and Hanamura alike? One's a short, fat faux-urban-sophisticated pervert who never fails to proclaim just how much of a pervert he is to the disgust of all the girls (and most of the boys) around. The other is a tall, pretty-boy punk-rocker/sports star with some delusions about his musical ability who seems to be pretty popular with the girls, even though he doesn't have many qualms about dating several at once. They don't look alike, they don't talk alike and they don't have the same personality.

Honestly, if any of the new cast is similar to Leon, at least with their general attitude and mannerism, it's probably Souda.

Well, both of them are playboys (and even if no-one's falling for his poo poo here except for Sonia, you can beat some girls would since he's famous), and both are pretty cocky about what they can do. Hanamura panics way quicker, but that's more similarities than Leon has with Souda personality-wise.

I wonder if Nagito didn't actually plan to kill anyone and it was the culprit who set it up. One of the things that bugged me was how luck based the murder was but what if it wasn't luck that Togami went under the table. I can't remember if this was brought up but what if the knife was planted to draw someone over to the underside of the table? You'd draw someone in and then stab them through the floor. The idea is Nagito didn't go to the knife because he planned a murder he just saw something glowing under the table and decided to check it out.

Unless the glow can go through the table-cloth, doubtful. It is just packing tape.

The knife had been painted with glow-in-the-dark paint, and the packing tape (presumably) had some from the handle stick to it when the knife was pulled free of the tape.

Oh, must have got that mixed up somehow. Yeah that's more plausible, although you'd probably have to slather a bunch on.

Wonder if someone having paint on their hands will come up?

Right now it seems likely that Nagito planted the knife and went under, but I kinda doubt that Hanamura is the killer. He said before "Hey, everyone! Where are you? T...This power outage... it isn't just in the kitchen?"

I'm kinda betting on Nagito intentionally letting Hanamura find out somehow, maybe even letting him find out how to get underneath the floor. Getting rid of Togami can only help a would-be murderer, and might even net you a trip off the island depending on how Monobear interprets the rules. If not, you can help finger Hanamura and make yourself look good. Sure he's gonna squeal, but who'd believe the perverted, creepy chef who just killed a guy? It's simple, lets you stay one step ahead, and doesn't put you in danger if it doesn't work.

QuarkJets posted:

No, no it doesn't. He couldn't guarantee that someone else would go under the table. And in this hypothetical that you've set up, he had no reason to plant an actual knife. Hanamura, on the other hand, knew that the position of the knife would at least place Nagito under the table at a specific time. To me, this makes it seem like Hanamura found out that Nagito would probably be under the table at a specific time and unwittingly killed Togami instead.

Stabbing someone in the dark isn't an impossible task you people, sheesh

Maybe not, but more difficult than it needs to be when you're screwed if it doesn't work.

On the other hand, making your move sometime after the vigilant, charismatic leader is dead...

Well, I didn't expect that. And not in a good way. :smith:

I have to wonder though, if Togami supposedly knew Hanamura was there, why go for the knife anyway? He seemed capable of subduing Komaeda.
