I do hope some of the actual murder victims aren't so telegraphed in future episodes as both Chisa and Aoi have been the first two weeks.
Bandai's death clearly wasn't - but you had to know someone was going to get offed via the forbidden action rule to show the ramifications of them not too long after that wrinkle was introduced.
Part of me half expects EVERYONE will die with Makoto and Kyosuke being the last ones through mutual suicide via gunshot wounds to the head.
Perhaps Makoto's luck will kick in and the gun's chamber will jam. After which he'll leave and go chill with Hiro outside.

I had no problems with all the survivors in DR1.
I was upset that Soda survived over Nekomaru or Gundham. smfh.
I hope we find out that the victims are awake as they're being killed. It isn't as satisfying if they just die while sleeping, they need to know that they are being killed before they die.
Holy shit, you and me both. FUCK that guy.
Holy shit, you and me both. FUCK that guy.
There was so much wrong with that and Akane surviving over ANY of the girls that died
Edit: Well not Hiyoko she can stay dead

reading spoilers like "i dont think I want to watch this"
Kyoko for sure isn't dying

Kyoko is immune to death, even more then Naegi.
No being immune to death doesn't mean she is for sure going to die in a shocking moment.

Now Toko can't apologize to Hina for her brother's death because she's dead too
Do they even have television there?
Well my current thought process is
that if someone doesn't perform their hunter role then they'd get poisoned. If they do kill someone, then they remain the killer. Obviously if it shifts, no one can tell anyone about it because then they'd be hung, so you'd have people continuously killing each other. The only hole in this that I can think of is that it's unwinnable, which while it might be the point, I don't see EVERYONE dying.
I still haven't seen a lick of solid evidence in support of that theory.

watch DR3 just be kodaka going fucking nuts because he doesn't have to clean up any mess he makes with V3 being a totally different canon lol
if it's any consolation with DR3 being the end of this universe, for all intents are purposes they're all gonna be dead anyways!

Hiro is a clairvoyant. Strictly speaking, other than super good luck guy, he should have a good chance of survival, even if it isn't deliberate.
The only black person in the series is farmer dude, and he was absolutely pathetic. I guess being the most joke character of the lot, he was bound to be the type to get offed first less for the impact, but to inform the rules.
I guess Chisa could be the traitor. It could inform why her class succumbed to despair while she was still around. I felt that Hina's death was far more telegraphed than hers was, though, more so because I didn't necessarily expect anyone to get killed in episode 1 while Hina was waving death flags everywhere. Good target, though; puts more blame on Naegi.
The Werewolf in this scenario has it tough, since it started off essentially being 1 v 15. I guess the forbidden rules balance it out a bit more in their favor.
Edit: Yu Narukami is also a pick for the potential Werewolf, but I feel that'd be too obvious.

Hiro's a massive idiot that managed to stumble his way to survival while being accused almost every case, and now he's on the outside and no one has even noticed yet.
He'll be fine.
The question is what the hell is Byakuya doing right now? Sure he's an ass but he's not going to let Naegi and Kyoko die.

Has he actually shown any of his supposed powers of clairvoyance in any canon Danganronpa media of any form? He'll survive purely by not being inside the building, and generally being too dumb to waste time killing.
Yeah, Ultra Despair Hagakure from UDG. It fleshed out a lot of his character and how he uses his ability, actually.
Him and Makoto's kids having the same mom in the DR1 bad ending
actually I'm not sure if that's technically canon but i'm leaving it anyway
Well, that and the fact that no one actually killed another person in DR1 after he screamed that no one would be killing anyone else anymore.

Naegi's ill-fitting "no running in the halls" NG code makes me think that Kyoko will lay dying at the end of the hall and Naegi will be forced to walk towards her as she bleeds out.

He's already let Hina die. Clearly he's got more important things to do. Probably avoiding Toko or something.
How cruel would that be. Although her telegraphed death in the OP has her getting hung. And, boy, do I hope we get swerved by that thing at some point. There's one swerve that already seems apparent...
Chisa's death in the OP has blood spraying out of her wrist. Same death pose as when she was found on the chandelier except her wrist - as of right now - is perfectly fine.

In Ultra Despair Hagakure.
If Aoi is dead then he has even more reason to act, even if he didn't care much for her he still has to have some kind of camaraderie with her.
Toko is still in Towa City so it wont be hard to avoid her.

He was the only (named) person to be outside the building. I bet you the rest of them would gladly swap places!
He did predict that he and Makoto would share a mother of children, which happens in the DG1 alternate ending where they don't escape. He also correctly predicted "no-one else will be killed", at the point where only suicides occur from then on. He also believes in his own predictions, as pretty much shown by his spin off novel included in ultra despair girls.
He could be the Ultimate Dumb Luck and it would be just as accurate so far.

The hanging works, just kick the stool out from under her right when Naegi sees her. That would give him the chance to save her if he could run. Ties into the whole OP imagery of walking down a hall with a light at the end and Makoto trying to grab her hand and failing.
Chisa's death is SO fucking suspicious, especially the lack of shakycam like we got for Aoi.
I guess that's outside of the norm, but I think that and the typical noise would have lessened the direction of that scene when the music kicks. Could just be a creative decision for the sake of it.
I mean, Chisa looks pretty dead when she fell pretty high up with a chandelier landing on her and shattering. Multiple people also looked to her to see if she was really dead, too.

what if the future arc is just a ploy/sim to show the future foundation how easy it is to become like the remnants of despair? that is where dr2 was about reforming the remnants of despair. DR3 is about reforming the members of the future foundation. I mean the most legitimately good members are dying off first.
Computer girl would be the likely one behind monokuma if that was the case

Makoto's like the most OP character in this universe. Putting aside plot armor due to protagonist status, he's both Ultimate Luck and Ultimate Hope. The only way he could get killed is kind of like Nagito, and he'd have to either do it himself or let it happen voluntarily.
I wonder if Gekkogahara's forbidden act is being touched by someone else.
This is likely correct. Gotta nerf her somehow, though maybe it's something more direct, since that can be pretty vague and she could send signals in various other ways.

Ha Makoto is the mastermind to prove how well his plan worked in 2. the ultimate mind fuck

I assume that was one of the books lying around? Probably didn't find it, I ended up getting pretty tired of UDG after a while and just started to straight line to the end.
Maybe something along the lines of not being able to investigate, we didn't see her checking Chisa's body and she was basically silent this episode.
It unlocks after you beat the game.

After you beat the game it unlocks. Its about Hakagure and Leon's cousin/lover in Towa City

It's been quite the ride already and we're just out of the gates. In less than a week, we've lost Hina, we've been told Chiaki was once real and its implied that Hajime kills her, we've gotten to know Chisa before she died and learned she was a boss sensei and Monokuma's silly game rules implied that Kyoko was the one to kill her... that's assuming that she's actually dead (which the OP hints may not be the case).
That's a lot to take in.
This episode kind of had a weirder pacing, but yea, as soon as Asahina was saying those words to Naegi, I straight away went covering my eyes cuz that's the Kodaka code for "welp I'm going to kill them right about...now"
Didn't stop me from going FFFFFUUUUUUUUU- though. Better not let it happen to Kirigiri.
I find it weird that the opening was changed so that the faces are now covered, and that the blood are somehow back to pink for the opening.
The obstruction of the faces also masked the face of the wheelchair girl who had a really similar looking face to Chiaki's (in her death pose in the OP).
Great Gozu's a pretty alright guy, but something tells me he's gonna get off'd soon. Either that or the couple.

Me too my brother.
I am honestly sad and said no about 25 dies when I realized what they are going for.
Fuck.
Outside of appearing in the theater Chisa was in, I doubt it. That would mean we would skip ahead 10 months and miss both the fallout from Twilight Murder Syndrome and the start of the Izuru Kamukura Project

Nah, we've already had that copout excuse trotted out once. This is for realsies.
Hina isn't asleep in some chamber somewhere peacefully dreaming about eating donuts.
Well...the opening credits are getting more and more distorted
But they can't pull this shit twice. At the very least though its clear Monokuma is an AI again.
I say he isn't.
