You're just starting?
Jesus Christ son get the hell out of this thread until youve caught up to this week (episode 9 future)

Kirigiri died so Ruruka and Juzo could also finally fucking die. It's a fair trade-off.
Nah I watched all 9 episodes of Future, didn't touch any of the dispair episodes.
You fucked up.

Was this posted? Someone on reddit looked it up, and the program listing confirms that Despair Arc will indeed end at episode 11. The following week there is a Danganronpa 3 special program in place of a 12th Despair episode.
I'm wondering if she laced the tea with Seiko's medicine to try and hedge her bets. She did examine Seiko's body, so she could've easily taken it from her corpse.
Her being alive is something else they can use to show Kyosuke he's in the wrong, so I'm honestly expecting it at this point.
Ryota's reactions throughout the episode stood out to me too. He's the only one left where we don't have a very good idea what his NG Code is, so it could be related to that.
Barring them pinning everything on the hidden 16th participant, all signs are pointing toward either Ryota or Chisa-Hina being the traitor. Kyosuke seems like an obvious distraction and it's not Makoto. I don't think it's the actual Hina, so that narrows things down to 2-3 people (depending on if you buy the Chisa theory).

Fuk. I'll go through them now then.

Wait, there are only 12 episodes? I thought there were 13. Well, dang. Do we have any date for the game?

It was billed as 12 episodes for each side, 24 total. Depending on what they do with the special, it could be only 23. New Danganronpa V3 was slated for this year, but it's looking likely that it'll get pushed to 2017.

They just had to go with Kyoko. Daaaaaaamn it. I'm OK with it being a cop-out if she survives. Even more OK with it if she doesn't come unharmed because at least it won't be "Haha, got you!" and it was a gamble on her part.
I found it amusing they flashed back to what Ruruka did because that only made her look more like an asshole. Sakakura getting merc'd was not unexpected. I'm just curious at what he was going to say. It was probably "I was in love with Yukizome" but I'd laugh if it was something more serious.

I think it's safe to say out of Yukizome and Munakata it wasn't Chisa he was in love with...

I can't say Ando is a particularly likable, but I do sort of commend Kodaka for going all in on making her, killing the only person who'd ever love her out of fear of being emotionally betrayed. I wonder if I'm the only one who appreciated that.
RE: Juzo gay for Kyosuke; I guess that makes sense in regards to the previous information, but I had interpreted the scene with him and Chisa back in... episode six I think, as him being jealous of Munakata, not Chisa, though I guess it could work either way.
My bet now is that Chisa is the mastermind (with or without some Junko help) while Ryota is her accomplice. I think Juzo killed 'Chisa' without being in on the plot.

Obviously Nagito killed Ruruka similar to how he committed suicide because he was angry she killed out of despair instead of hope.
I like the theory that
the killer rotates every time, but the person nominated to be the killer actually gets influenced by the monitors (would tie in with the focus on the anime brainwashing in despair) and ends up killing him/herself as a result. Would kind of explain why Ruruka's death was so savage compared to the others; she felt guilty about what she'd done.

Hear, hear. I liked that scene a lot, even though Izayoi is not the best character in the world, I think Kodaka did a pretty good job with both of them, and I'm not a Ruruka fan in the slightest (Kizakura :'( ).
And I agree completely with most here, Kyoko is definitely going to come back. The biggest question for me now is what the hell is up with Mitarai, both scenes of him making the fist and him looking at his reflection on his cell phone were weird as fuck. Still, I don't think he's the mastermind or anything like that.
That'd also explain why it looked so much like Nagito, since that one was also suicide.

Despair 6 has that conversation that about Yukizome's feelings towards Munakata and Sakakura is mad after she leaves that there's no room for him. The flow of the conversation definitely points to him liking Yukizome. It'd be some weird writing for that to refer to Munakata there considering what the topic was.
Then again, there's that line in Ep 4 from Yukizome...
Did I miss any other hints in the show? I'd rather it be Yukizome because if it was Sakakura liking Munakata, what just happened in Future 9 is way more blegh to me.
Her symptoms seemed pretty close to Izayoi's where only half of their faces went purple and veiny
I want to say she's definitely dead but that medicine bottle is too fucking suspect. I want them to commit to this but I absolutely see them backpedaling too...
So for the sake of character favoritism/waifus, you're okay with sacrificing the actual quality of the writing?
This is the reason I fear for the future direction of this franchise sometimes.

I mean I agree with most that Izayoi is barely a character at all, I just think it's poetically tragic that she kills the only person who ever loved her for who she was, regardless of whether she deserves even that.

I think I've figured it out. Munakata's NG code doesn't prevent him from opening doors, but instead prevents him from
Anyway, I think I'm in the Kyoko fake out camp. There's no way in hell that Kodaka would have her die with her final deduction being totally incorrect.
being a good character.

Gathering my thoughts, but is Kyoko the waifu in DR3? Aoi's the one who's been by Makoto's side nearly the entire time
We will find out that DR1 was actually just a computer sim, and DR2 was simply a computer sim within a computer sim.
To be fair, I don't know if I'd call this good writing if she stays dead. It's anti-climactic as hell even if she did leave notes behind and reeks of rushed development.
Not that DR is a stranger to that kind of thing, as was the case with Ishimaru. Still it would be wholly unsatisfying.
I think her coming back only to reveal that the first fake out was real would be much better. Keeps with Kodaka 's trolling nature while also being a compelling non-copout development.
It's broken to the point that he's suspicious now. I was ready to write him off after rewatching the first episode, but come on. It would be like giving Aoi a NG code of "can't lose a swimming match".
Mitarai is shady, shady, shady right now.
Actually, so is Juzo. Munakata did not identify him as "despair" but killed him anyway, saying "you know why". After taking a spear and surviving, though ...

Hmm, yeah, I definitely don't think that Kyoko's dead
And Gozu is SO FUCKING SUSPECT
I'm convinced that Bandai and Gozu are opposite ends of the suspicion coin. Bandai's NG is suspiciously difficult to survive, Gozu's NG is suspiciously easy to survive.
I keep saying it, Gozu very much has left so many red flags around.
1. NG
2. His goals - protect Makoto - are the same as the attacker's (assuming Munakata is accurate in his assessment)
3. Unless I'm mistaken, he never praises hope, only Makoto's strength to wield it
Gozu wasn't protecting Makoto's hope, he was protecting Makoto's strength to wield hope for despair.

Eager to see how it will end. I find it pretty disappointing that Kyoko was wrong about the mastermind unless she lied on purpose because she doesn't trust Ryota or she thinks the mastermind is spying on them. I was wondering how does the bracelet detects you did something wrong. I guess the best answer is that mastermind is watching at all time and activating the poison when the condition is triggered? Otherwise it seems rather far fetched.
It also seems like the victim actually wakes up when attacked by the killer. Chisa had tears on her face and worst girl had her eyes open in shock. I guess the killer/first killer was someone Chisa cared about.

Get pinned for a 3 count. Since he's enormous and the SHSL wrestler, that'd be hard.
Getting pinned in a three count. Basically lose a wrestling match
If he got pinned for a 3 count, he died. Basically a joke NG code, which is likely why they just killed him right off the bat.
I always thought Bandai was a joke character (especially with his voice) and got offed first to show them how the forbidden action system worked and what happened if you broke your NG code.
The suspicious thing about Gozu is that we don't really know who is underneath the mask. It might not be the real Gozu after all. Did Kyoko investigate his body? I don't remember for him but she definitely did for the others. The only way he would lose to his NG code would be if he were asleep haha. It's a bit weird the killer stabbed him then,
