Board 8 > JC finishes playing through Danganronpa V3 from Case 2 onward *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Hmmmmm things are certainly pointing in a Kaede-esque direction with the revelation of the Survivor perk. She might have killed him simply because of his mention of the Ultimate Hunt - he shouldn't have known about it until the first flashback light, which tipped her off that he was the Ultimate Survivor

pink fiber on the shotput ball

more KAEDE

i can't figure out what i'm supposed to be clicking on/blowing up in the 2nd floor classroom graaaaaaah

like i've done a full mouse sweep and the only things are the locker and door, both of which say they're not useful

darnit TsumugiKaedeShuichiNagitoWhoeverthefuckitis

oh my god i had to press the E key on shit, that has never been a thing i've had to do

flashblack lights with customized memories? more than one truth?

let's go simulation

oooooh if it's a simulation maybe kaede and her twin are the proxies for junkos and her twin (...mutaba? i forget her name) in this killing game

AND MAYBE TSUMUGI IS THE TWIN

gosh darnit tsumugi

and that's why she pulled Kaede into the bathroom to wear her clothes!

and her twin (...mutaba? i forget her name)

Mukuro Ikusaba. The sixteenth student, lying hidden somewhere in this school. The one they call the Ultimate Despair. Watch out for her.

alright i'm about to head into the class trial so imma take a short break, but this time i'm not going to share hot predix about everything beyong my musings so far in this topic. i kind of want to just go along for the ride here

also keebo has shot up through in the character rankings for me, even before he went berserk. he's earnest and generally the most level-headed of all of the classmates in trials. he contributes helpfully and has been a voice of reason. him going berserk (which i did kinda call when i said if he survived case 5 his robot stuff would become relevant) was super fun, and i love that he's the only character who's gotten their own cutscene so far this game

tsumugi on the other hand, is as useless as hagakure. i mostly want her to be the mastermind at this point so that she ends up avoiding the fate of being the only character in this cast who is truly just furniture. at least himiko's had a proper arc of some kind up until this point.

okay it's not quite at going into trial yet but

HAHAHAHA TINY MONOKUMAS WITH CAMERAS YESSSSSS

Danganronpa's humor doesn't usually click for me, but I do think Keebo's thing of having incredibly mundane robotic talents that impresses no one is pretty amusing.

Alright I have my coffee and have responded to some texts

It's time to d-d-d-d-d-d-duel

a retrial? oooooooooh

psyche taxi is the most time consuming way to answer questions we've already answered in discussion jesus fuck

Oooooh there was a shotput ball swap - Kaede's wasn't used as the murder weapon

Tsumugi what do you have to say about this!?

I hope DR2x2 adds new minigames that are all as lame as the existing ones.

DR2x2 will be identical in every way except the minigames are three times as long, and if you fail any of them your save file gets deleted.

twin theory OUT THE WINDOW

the mastermind is most likely one of the participants OF THIS KILLING GAME

what do you have to say about this madam tsumugi

sounds about right

"we need to go over everyone's alibi for rantaro's murder"

it is at this exact point in time i really wish i had kept playing after case 1, which i finished in august 2022

TSUMUGI SAID SHE USED THE BATHROOM

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

caps

GOSH DARNIT TSUMUGI

WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ALL THIS

she's on the ropes now ladies and gentlemen

(what she had to say was not 'give birth')

Closing Arguments now - I've got you now Tsumugi!

Hoisted by her own alibi

JUNKOS YESSSSSSSSSSSSS

is it tsumugi cosplaying as JUNKOS or JUNKOS cosplaying as Tsumugi?! find out literally right the fuck now on danganball z

I feel like I should be kind of disappointed that the answer is once again JUNKOS

But I'm actually really stoked, because JUNKOS

something doesn't quite add up

the whole backstory has now been retconned with the flashback lights and these aren't even hope's peak students

it's junko enoshima the 53rd

rantaro has played in a killing game before allegedly

let's go repeated simulation angle

but what about the cospox

YES ULTIMATE COSPLAY SKILLS AT WORK

you go tsumugi

Dels posted...

but what about the cospox

tbh i never believed it

HAHAHAHA THE GAME JUST RETCONNED ITS OWN PREQUELS

incredible

I'm so confused.

She's saying that the first two games were fictional and set in the world of danganronpa but those actually have a broader connection to the real world.

But this game and story operates by the same absolutely fucking wacky mechanics including the existence of monokuma and there is genuinely no outside world left. While the false memories were implanted, the burning outside world they witnessed outside the hatch was most definitely real.

I think that this game is the fictional one set in danganronpa and not vice versa. REPEATED SIMULATION ANGLE I STILL BELIEVE IN YOU

I'm me. No one else.

V3

...

V3

wow

we're not making any counterpoints here

they're really doing this

it turns out they were not distinguishing between the first two as real and this game as fake, they were just saying it was all fake

REPEATED SIMULATION IS GOOOOOOO

okay so it's not quite a simulation but like

characters devised from real people through complete memory replacement

this tracks

something's still not right

keebo's inner voice through his antenna has to be relevant here - there's objective evidence of a third party trying to tamper with despair

everyone's starting to fall into despair

banking on keebo's inner voice firing up right about now

Gosh, I wonder who that could be.

i almost got fooled by the bad end thing

BUT HERE WE GO IT'S KEEBO TIME

ultimate hope robot is incredible

damn shuichi spitting some straight facts about hope

loving that we temporarily get to take perspectives of everyone left

characters talking about committing suicide is basically this actual game suiciding its own series - some seriously meta shit

love it

the psyche taxi i have to lose is my favorite psyche taxi

and CREDITS

fat togami finally makes sense

too tired to give full thoughts but that was a rollercoaster and I kind of loved it. I adore when the fourth wall gets shattered and that was some pretty meta fourth wall shattering. Called Tsumugi as the mastermind and Keebo's robot potential being unexplored. Definitely didn't expect there to be zero survivors. I'm uh, not entirely sure the audience would vote to end the killing games if this were real life - if I were in the audience I would be eating that drama up.
