g OD. I'm legitimately upset? Everyone I like keeps dying? I'm done with this franchise?

What you don't actually know is that this is actually the Despair Arc

Same. Very much the same.
Great Gozu must live. He must.
He's going to break my heart and die just like Gundam.

Great Gozu is going to be the traitor.

I'm pretty much just going to accept that everyone I like is going to die. Also, I'm officially praying for Kirigiri. If she dies I might cease to function.
Ya know, looking at how Chisa was killed (?) and how Aoi was killed, whoever this killer is does not like busty girls.
I wonder who that names as a suspect.
And if Chiaki really is secretly here, she's clearly next.

Here's my guess - Miaya is Monaca and the mastermind so they could interact because they're both her puppets. Hope's Peak recruiter pointed to her as suspicious. She was also the one that "confirmed" that there must be a traitor among them since she supposedly only could be hacked from inside.

Hacking herself by getting Monokuma to refit her Usami avatar into Monomi could also be seen as a deflection attempt to make her seem innocent and not actually pulling the strings. It would also be worthwhile for the mastermind to give themselves a forbidden action that would prevent people from incriminating them. If hers is indeed "I can't touch anyone else", well it also gives her plausible deniability for not killing anyone and prevents people from searching her body for evidence and/or finding out she can walk/speak, etc.
This is my nightmare scenario.

I find very unlikely Monaca is Miaya and the traitor, UDG was just before DR2 which is just before DR3, unless Danganronpa decides to go completely Zero Escape and time travel is involved, Monaca and Miaya are 2 very different people that share some similarity because at most Monaca is 11 years old right now

Glad they were willing to kill Hina to up the stakes. It's not like she had an important role like Naegi or Kirigiri, so I'm not expecting any more of the old guard to die.
The main "antagonist" with the white hair is incredibly annoying. He pretty much exists just to be at odds with Naegi and co. and his reasoning for killing people off 1 by 1 is laughably dumb. Hope this aspect of the show improves a bit.

Literally the only person he's trying to kill is Makoto so I'm not getting where you're thinking he's trying to kill people off one by one, since he's only attacked those who were blocking him from his goal. As for his reason, he's pretty clearly off the rails because of Chisa's death. Also with the information he has to go off of, Munakata doesn't really have any reason to not think Makoto is suspicious and he'd already figured he'd be executing him anyway.

His answer to Great Gozu (or someone else) when asked what if it's not Naegi was something to the effect of "we'll just repeat the process until we find the one, because it doesn't matter how many die as long as you eliminate despair". Come on. How much more edgy and juvenile can you get?
When he has everyone vote that Makoto is the attacker and he should be killed someone (Hina or Miaya don't remember) mentions that it might not be him and Munakata says something stupid like "then if we're wrong we'll just choose someone else later"
Edit: It was Ryoto and Munakata's response is "Then we keep voting"
Damn those death flags hurt me a lot more than I expected. Hina was a pretty cool character. She can join her brother now. At least she was not blown to pieces.
I'm also guessing there's more than one attacker or something like that.
I would be very dissapointed if something like this was revealed in such a stupid way.Just saw this theory.
Everyone who is moving will be victims (going by the 3 who died), the ones standing live, and the traitor is showing his back.
I'm also guessing there's more than one attacker or something like that.

I'm kinda upset Monokuma doesn't have much of a presence in this.
Just remembered that Makoto is in fact the Big Bad and is guilty of the crimes the others are accusing him of.
Stills salty about that. Did they fix it in the steam version at least?

The plot twist is that Makoto is
Mukuro Ikusaba. The sixteenth student. Lying hidden somewhere in this school. The one they call the Ultimate Despair
Watch out for her.

So he had a crush on himself and saved herself from being killed by taking the spears himself.
Wouldn't even be the silliest thing Kodaka has done.
Oh that? That's literally how you play Mafia. Have you guys really never played that game before?
Munakata isn't being juvenile there, he's being pragmatic. I don't personally agree with his stance but it's not wrong from a productivity aspect. Generally speaking, you know what happened in games where you take too long to vote people off? The mafia ends up winning and taking control. Of course, the margin for error here is much higher, but the principle is more or less the same game-wise.

I didn't notice that. I believe that's a better explanation for that scene.
So the Future arc will pull a 999 and
reveal that the entire game is in a replica of the Future Foundation headquarters?

Is it weird if I'm avoiding the post about the sprite positions relating to plot things because it might be legit

He's supposed to be a high-ranked leader within the Future Foundation. I'm expecting a little more from him than being so "pragmatic" he's willing to play a game of Mafia with his fellow leaders' lives. That isn't pragmatism; that's a psycho following some laughably anime dogma. I'm supposed to believe this guy worked his way up the ranks of this group?
I get it. The party needs an inside antagonist. Byakuya's "screw you guys, I'm trusting only myself so I won't be helping anyone" attitude is more believable than this.

Danganronpa 2 and Nagito's character is supposed to show you that "hope" isn't "good" but instead the "opposite of despair." Hope can twist people just as much as despair does. Munakata's hardline "we have to wipe out all of the despair" is really the predominant opinion the FF as an organization holds. Makoto is the outsider when it comes to his treatment of Despair.
I can see that happening now. I'm not sure what that twist would mean but it would also entail that
Hagakura might play into that. If he was on the outside, there is no way he didn't notice something.
Of course that's if it is true.
he probably could have tried to do a bit more than "let's murder the first person we think of."

Just watched ep 2 of future arc :
I want to curse the whole world right now .. what will i do without my donut lover girl ?
it's unfair , guys ..
Oh and that other character died in the most stupid way possible , battle royale 2 way even.. You can actually kill people by interracting with them , now
Would be funny if the killer knew about everyone restrctions and was actively trying to put them into death siatuations.
Also this is a simulation , btw .. you cannot do the usami becoming monomi Twice and expect me to belive this setup.

SHSL Blaze's reaction pretty much sums up what a lot of Danganronpa fans felt when watching the episode:

Dude was all broken up. He was all lax and chill and giving commentary while Hina was raising all her death flags and completely missed them. Poor guy.

I hope Bull guy acts rationally and doesn't turn on Naegi, its such an obvious frame attempt only an anime character could fall for it.

As of right now it's hard to imagine the newbies as anything but fodder outside of the core Kyosuke-Chisa-Juzo trio (one of whom is seemingly already deceased), Ryota and Miaya.

I don't know, it seems way too obvious now. Girl around the same age with a similar look that can't talk but only through Monomi/Usami. Too many coincidences for me. Or maybe they want everyone to happy thinking its her so we'll all have our guard down when....
The Silver

so in the despair arc, does everyone know the fat guy is the ultimate imposter or what
Doesn't look like it. He's passing himself off as the Ultimate Animator and even Chisa is calling him by that assumed name. Not too sure what the real Ultimate Animator doing at the same time though..since he was clearly shown on the Despair arc's opening.
Don't worry it's a red herring for sure. Kodaka knows how the internet analyses these "clues", but it won't be true - expectations etc.

I don't think it's that clear that one thing follows immediately from the other. They allude to future events, but for example, Togami isn't with Makoto here even though they were together at the time of the DR2 epilogue. If 2 or 3 years passed between those two games and the beginning of this season, they could easily use "growth spurt" to justify why she'd somehow be significantly older looking now.
