So I haven't read any posts in this topic for the fear of spoilers but I'm going to invade and post my thoughts as I play through the game, probably, when I hit Chapter 3 or 4, I'll join the discussion.

Anyhow, I'm at the start of Chapter 1 Trial so here's my speculation and random thoughts about murder plot:

So our enigmatic cast member has passed. DAMN IT. I liked him. Fatal wound by a blunt object, presumably the shotput ball that you can find in the warehouse. I presume the evidence regarding the vent is just to give Shuichi and Kaede an alibi on top of the fact that only one person can graduate (we're operating on the assumption that the culprit ignored the first blood perk to wipe out everyone).

I got a laugh out Gunta locking himself inside to "watch a bug movie"; Kaede found a bunch of porn flicks. But then as I read over the evidence, they said that the door that can't open in the A/V room opens just far enough to allow an arm through. I am going to imagine it extends to Gunta as well. The shotput ball is pretty heavy and it's in front of the entrance the scene of the murder, specifically the entrance the victim used to enter. So I'm suspecting him using the porn flick as a red herring for others to catch in the trial and be fooled by.

The problems I see with this theory is 1) why didn't the sensor catch the ball being thrown? I'd imagine that stems from the sensor placed too low to the ground (that's a weak reasoning honestly, I dunno). And how would he know that the victim would go into the library? You have to walk with the shotput ball with the intention of killing someone. There's no reason to walk around with it. And it just seems too incriminating with the shotput ball pushing out Kibo and the females.


Anyhow, going to start the trial to see off I am.

Got halfway in. Yeah, I fell for the red herring. Good good. I heard this is the best opening case. So I thought it couldn't be easy.

Not at all.

I got spoiled on a character's death, but I definitely didn't expect it to turn out that way. I love how it was right under our noses it happened and I didn't consider just how long they were stuck in the library organizing on top. Nor did I inspect how far it was organized.

I really want to shoot Spike Chunsoft an email right now to praise them for such a strong opening. And email Capcom too, telling them I'm going to judge Ace Attorney with much more scrutiny now (Spirit of Justice was just alright).

Got through Chapter 2's trial last night. Kind of late to post my speculation but the main thing that caught me was that I was confused by (keeping spoilers vague as possible)

the scratch marks, and how the ferrying happened between the buildings. I couldn't figure out what the ropes were attached too as I didn't properly inspect the windows. So I didn't notice there were bars that you could tie rope around. But once they revealed the the rope was in a different place than it was the night before, and the occupants of the gym, the mystery of the culprit was over right there and then. I also had a tough time trying to figure out how the victim got killed in the first place. I didn't take into account the psychological side.

The execution and the events leading up to it were simply pathetic though.

I don't care what's going on, this is MY life and I choose how I'll live it! Plus, a good leader would have contingency plans or should have structured in such a way that a company can still move forward even when the leader is not available.

So I was only mildly phased by the story.

Anyhow, I'm in the middle of Chapter 3's investigation and I'm pleased this time there's no one to skew my suspicions now I moved past things I got spoiled on.

Finished Chapter 3's trial last night. I spent a half hour trying to figure out how

the first victim got attacked in the first room of the 2nd victim. And I couldn't figure out how the culprit killed the 2nd victim or why the effigies were hung. And then I got caught in the red herring, thinking it couldn't possibly be the who the real culprit was. 30 minutes into speculating, I just said to hell with it and played through the trial. SIGH. 2nd time I got caught by the red herring. SECOND TIME.


But good lord the execution was satisfying. The most satisfying of the entire series.

Unlike DR1's combo execution where someone was having a blast the entire time and got exactly what they wanted, the culprit here happily accepted their fate only for them to say NO. Throw some salt on that wound too! That's how you take care of a villain.

Right? Some people say it's one of the worst executions in the game because it's so tame, but I don't get it. Makes sense thematically, and pretty brutal to be burned alive in human form and in soul form lol

Right? All were at least 7 out of 10s for me. DR2 probably had the worst ones imo. Especially with Mikan's weird one, and Gundham's was only okay.

At chapter 4's trial. I admit, I rushed through the investigation so I'm shaky on the details and really regret it because I didn't properly investigate certain places. But here are my thoughts.

What happened?

Where did V die? How was the body moved? What was that loud noise? What was the user error? Did Oma have the meeting with V? What was the purpose of the Lattice? How did Keebos voice end up on the left side of the map?

V died in the virtual world, as their eyes are visibly white.

V intended to imprison Oma in the world? V could touch Oma to paralyze him.

Vs object ability allows V to enter the river and pass through the wall over to the other side of the map.

I forgot to go into the bathroom. Gosh darn it.

How did the Lattice get from the rooftop storage room to the other side of the chapel? It came form the rooftop storage room, right?

Given the pose of the corpse, V died via asphyxiation. Did V die from being strangled by the toilet paper? LOL

Even though it cant rip, its not unrolled. A knock against it being the murder weapon.

V probably intended to kill Oma with the hammer on the rooftop, leave his body locked up there, escape with the cellphone, and try to sneak their way back to the other side of the map once they got back in.

The user error could be tied to Keebo in how were able to hear him from the other side. Could be he viewed as an object and ran too far ahead and passed over the Wall on the right side and shouted for them to hear? Or maybe the system error is avatar wide where youre able to hear whats on the other side of the V-created wall as though it wasnt there.

Unless Oma brought in the poison from before, Kaito is the only one who had the chance to plant the poison in Omas chair. Unless Miu dropped it over there at the last moment before she logged in. It's not likely Kaito did anything dangerous.

Currently, no suspects (not making that same mistake again).

Did V walk onto the mansion side of the map via the wall, climb to the top of the mansion, slide off the wall side with the lattice and hit chapel? Or maybe the culprit strangled V on the rooftop, set V on the lattice and slid them off to the other side and V hit the chapel wall. V had the hammer and cellphone in their possession. When Tsumugi saw V, V was on their way to the meeting. Oma knew about the meeting obviously. Himiko did? Or Keebo? They wouldnt have access to the other side anyway.


These were my thoughts last night. When I get home, I'll take another look at the evidence with the intention of finding out how the V become vulnerable enough to be killed before I start the trial. And come up with a suspect, I don't want to name the obvious one, not without strong evidence.

Finished Chapter 4's trial.

That was the most painful and upsetting case of the series. Where you're strung along, knowing all the answers but not wanting to admit to any of them. And of course, we were all thinking

There's a special place in hell with Oma's name on it.

Got through Chapter 5 and Most of Chapter 6, stopped when I had to do that button mash minigame just before the closing argument recap. Before I got around to Chapter 5, I did my usual speculation,

Chapter 5:

1-2 victims this time around. The File says a body was discovered in the hangar, crushed. But were missing a head before we started the trial.

Where to start?

The night before, Himiko brought a black bag to Kaitos bathroom. There are 3 arrows with drawn blood, most likely coated with the poison. Kaitos coat has a hole on the sleeve, Kokichi has a hole in the back and on the sleeve. Kokichis wound from the back should be the cause for the trail of blood. Did Kaito finish off Kokichi and form a double suicide/homicide with the press? How would he be able to cut the cord on the hydraulic press then? Thats unlikely. Is a live body stuck in an Exisal? The red hatch is closed. A bomb could be used to disarm the electronic lock. I can see Kaito finishing off Kokichi, using his coat to cover the body out of respect in the press, cutting the power and then retreating into the Exisal before suiciding via poison. But thats a bit over the top. As in hes not leaving much of a trail behind for others to figure out. Unless he believes in Shuichis abilities.

What happened to the Exisals outside?

A single electrohammer was used to take 3 out. 4 were initially there, holding Monokuma prisoner. But Green went inside the hangar and has its latch open. At the time of the announcement, 3 outside were inoperable. One Electrohammer couldnt have taken all 3 out. Assuming it was Maki, she could have potentially have access to Kaitos own and Himiko. But not one said anything about Himikos hammer so it probably had juice, meaning it wasnt used. I need another theory for that. Someone else told Monokuma about the command given to the Exisals. Probably Kokichi. Only one who knew. But why would he tell Monokuma? Did he tell Monokuma, or give the order while Monokuma was around? Or did someone else tell Monokuma?

I dont know why there are scratch marks on the control panel. Was that Maki? Made out of frustration of not being to get in? Or a diversion?

Why were the antidote bottles out?

Heres all I dont know,

How the 3 Exisals were defeated
The slash marks on the control panel
If Himiko and Maki implicated themselves in the murder
The antidote bottles.

Other than that, Ill commit to the theory that Kochichi is murdered and Kaito is in the Red Exisal, dead. I dont feel like putting any more effort in speculation, I just want to know!


When the trial came, and the red exisal popped up, and showed off the video, I nearly flipped my sticks. Oh for ****'s sake! Let me be right, just once damnit!

But that case was a fantastic 5th case where the point wasn't to win the game but expose the flaws of the game better.

In Chapter 6, for the endgame. I have some really mixed feelings here. Am I not supposed to enjoy this game? They're doing a very good job making me feel for the survivors (like I haven't since the start of the game, specifically since the 1st trial), and guilty over playing the game in the first place. And it feels like such a lazy copout ending to tie the cases together. At least it works. Not like Zero Time Dilemma, that ending was a mess. And an insult. I last stopped specifically at Shuichi playing the minigame against Hopebot. But feel free to spoil away, the game's basically done as far as I'm concerned.

Finished Trial 4 &5

I really liked the tone shift in trail 4

I had it mostly figured out except for like 2-3 details

Trail 5s culprit was kinda spoiled to me a long time ago, unfortunately, so I was going through it to see how it happened.

Now I'm right before the final class trial!

Finally beat the game... I'm... Ok with that ending, but I can def see why people wouldn't like it.

I like DR2 characters better, but DR3 trials better. The soundtrack in this game is really great as always, it just takes a moment to get used to it.

As far as my trial tier list:

Trial 1: V3 > 2 >> 1
Trial 2: V3 >> 2 = 1
Trial 3: V3 > 1 > 2
Trial 4: 2 >>> V3 >> 1
Trial 5: 2 > V3 > 5
Trial 6: V3 = 1 > 2

Overall:
DR2 Trial 4
V3 Trial 1
DR2 Trail 5
DR1 Trial 6
V3 Trial 6

Less of the characters ( although it's primarily about 2 of my favorites) and more of the scope of the case.

That was the only case where I was completely dumbfounded on how it was executed. I loved it's use of multiple rooms and the situation they are it to go along with it.

Although, I think the ending would have been better if Shuichi had become the villain in the 11th hour. Maybe even the mastermind. Would have been perfect, considering it was revisiting the first trail which itself had a surprise culprit

Same voice actor. He just had a harder time with the voice this time around. He gets it back after the beginning though.
