I would have posted this the other day, but I was hoping at least one other person would reply.

I'd forgotten that the game actually points out "Gee, isn't this similar to Hope's Peak Academy?" And it really does look similar. However, there is a difference. The door on the inside from DR 1 is different. This vault door has a little tongue thing instead of appearing to open along one vertical line. But maybe that's not important.

My crazy, totally off-the-wall theory is that the students from the first game are inside that building. Togami, Naegi, Aoi, Kirigiri, all of them. No windows in the school. We never saw what was beyond the door.

See, I'm betting it's just a replica. Some kind of bomb shelter to survive that big ol' bomb we always see counting down. It looks the way it does either because Monokuma likes the irony of everyone sealing themselves in the school again, or to try and subtly jog people's memories.

Monokuma I feel the drill beard was perhaps a bit unnecessary.

No drill is ever unnecessary. More drills are always necessary.

In my eyes I've always thought of this as a bad death for him. He wanted to go to hell with his evil. Instead, he's going to (animal)heaven.

I think the point of it was an insult to his persona, yeah. His powers are rubbish, and animals really just like him because he's a sweet boy, no matter how much he tries not to be.

So, uh, how'd your dog die, Nagito?

Choking on a million dollars, or something.

The Ultimate Imposter's real superpower is convincing people that, no matter who he's impersonating, there's a good reason they're suddenly obese.

It's either that or Ultimate Myspace Angles so nobody notices.

I’m impressed that it doesn’t rot.

Also mysterious speaker, you’re silly. Nagito is many things but he’s not boring.

I dunno. Most of the thread was able to predict "Rube Goldberg Luck-Powered Suicide Plot" quite easily. He's predictable.

I know this is a joke, but it's not really a spoiler to say that this is very nearly what happens with Ultra Despair Girls.

My favourite chapter was when the Super Duper Pre-School Level Rattle Shaker used their unique talents to charm a rattlesnake into killing the Super Duper Pre-School Level Napper and framed the Super Duper Pre-School Level Dog Petter for it.

I forgot this beginning part and was kind of expecting Gundam's hamsters to be used as evidence.

Speaking of, what happened to them?

They ROM hacked Hamtaro and added the source code to the Neo World Program. Obviously.

I suspect that was a deliberate misdirection from the developers between him and Fatogami to surprise the players, and isn't aimed at the characters at all.

Yeah, he's the Grant Anonama of this game.

I mean she died like six times over in that. I'm not sure it was literal.

Or maybe they just didn't anticipate a sequel.

Yyyyyyyep.

I don't think I want to know who did that one. Fuyuhiko's obviously the eye. Do the rest correspond to people in the room? Akane starving herself would be in opposition to her ravenous self, and Sonia's parents are presumably king and queen...

I’m gonna say it was Nagito and Mikan who went to the gross extremes. They’re the visibly craziest about Junko, based on Nagito giving himself the Ultimate Stranger Technique hand and everything about Mikan when she snaps and gets her memories back.

I mean the rest of them could be that crazy in the real world too, it's just being suppressed by the Neo World Program right now.

I wonder how Monokuma was about to break Mikan's real memories out of their suppression, and why he didn't do it to everyone, though.

Hahaha absolutely not, no no no, doing what the bad guy says, even if it sounds like a good idea, always leads to a Bad End. Chiaki would've known that.

Remember that 2 years have passed in the real world, and consider hamster lifespans. Also recall that the remnants murdered everyone they loved.

There are no adorable hamster pods, only simulated hamsters and sadness.

Man now I'm glad Gundam died. I wouldn't want him to be without his buddies.

His pre-despair self seemed to be cool with sandblasting his brain clean to get replaced with someone cooler, as Hinata was apparently a fanboy with delusions of grandeur. Apparently that's not the case now. Either this Hinata isn't much like the original, or Hinata might not have been willing the first time he got wiped.

Either possibility is kinda unsettling.

Or something happened during his time in the Reserve Course that put him up to it, something he now doesn't remember.

These guys are missing like, two, maybe three years of personal growth and development at this point? Lots can happen in that time.
