[SPOILERS] Dangan Ronpa 2 Spoiler Thread | Aloha, Despair!

How much should we bet that we'll get some form of bathing &/or other type of fanservice scene involving her & Toko because DR1 & 2 had them.
Also if you zoom in & look close to the bottom of the kanji, you can kind of sorta see some of the white...

I'm pretty sure when the Toko isn't shipping herself with Togami, the game will be shipping her with Komaru. Lilies everywhere!
You know, I kind of wondered about this too... Makes things even more disturbing knowing that, but it completely makes sense.
As shocking as it was to hear at the time, I don't think anyone did the dirty with Junko's corpse. It was a very creative translation decision apparently.

It really does seem like the executions and actual game take place in a different universe sometimes. There's the deal with Junko's corpse or Mondo's body being in the freezer despite being butter. Don't think they'll actually address this, but I'd welcome it if they do.

Maybe with the exception of Leon's and Teruteru's (which happen in full view of everyone else), when the killer's dragged away they just get murked by Monokuma and the executions are just pre-made videos that Junko uses to instill despair in the survivors. That would at least make some degree of sense.

You're assuming said body of Mondo isn't a stash of pancakes with butter in a freezer.
Alternatively, some of his body remained and we just didn't see it.
Oh I know we went over that a few pages ago, but still everything is still frightening and grotesque on its own (no matter what was done with Junko's corpse/ovaries/whatevers).
I assumed he was a package of butter being kept in there. Otherwise, it just falls apart.

i want everything Monokuma
I've been able to find TONS of Monokuma (and some Monomi/cast of characters) at local anime cons. Monokuma plush from 2 are all available in physical form, too! Was neat to see those in game after seeing their real counterparts. All official merch too, but since they are all likely UFO plush, seem difgicult to find online.

What a loner
This does remind me that I did like more of the survivors had close relations to someone who died earlier unlike in the first game where it was only really Aoi and I guessssss Makoto since he doesn't seem to give up on Maizono.
Though would have preferred Nanami instead of Nagito, I guess it's more for people who weren't AI
Playing DR2 with some hindsight is a pretty interesting thing. You know that during Chapter 2's last free time period, you can't find Peko, Fuyuhiko, Hiyoko, or Mahiru anywhere?
Also, found it a little neat how Mahiru talks about how Teruteru's motivation wasn't 'boring' like Monokuma said it was, because of his mother, given Mahiru's respect for her own mother you learn in her FTEs.

Yeah, I actually did notice that, which is why I was kinda suspicious of Chiaki during Chapter 4's investigation since she didn't want to hand out at all during the preceding Free Time. That only made the pain of the true killer's reveal all the more tortuous T^T
DR generally always keeps track of its c characters pretty well. In chapter five, for instance, the map clearly shows princess tooling around in the military base when she should be in the garden even before you're informed about it
The same thing happened to me with Sonia in Chapter 4. I was at 5 fragments with her but she kept declining to hang out which was strange.
So I started leveling up Gundham... and yeah.
They're too hungry to hang out. XD
If Chapter 4 was a bit longer, I could imagine them planning to eat Gundham's hamster just to survive. Maybe Gundham decided to kill because he was afraid of that.

The joys of knowing the kill order meant I knew who to prioritize first in the socializing, lol

I maxed out Kaz and started Sonia during Chapter 4. Is my memory failing me, or does Chapter 4 have the most Free Time Events out of any chapter in the series? I swear, it felt like there were a million of 'em.

There was like 5 or so. Maybe 6.
Which is 2 more than usual.
This game is pretty generous with the free time and also pretty generous with not making everyone hate you near the end.
Sure, there was Soda but who cares about him

Kaz actually apologizes to you for accusing Hajime of being the traitor and being suspicious of him if you talk to him during Free Time after his outburst in Chapter 4. I thought it was a pretty nice touch that shows he's not that bad of a guy, but it's unfortunate that they put such a scene during a story beat that's more likely to make you hate Kaz rather than hang out with him.
I think he was a pretty cool guy overall, the creepy Sonia lust aside. His FTEs reveal a lot about why he is the way he is, and it was hard for me not to empathize with him.

I got Gundam and Akane finished in the minimum amount of time it took, but Sonia and Kaz took a bit longer because I bungled their gifts once or twice.
I think I might be the Ultimate Gift Bungler. I was really close to maxing Peko in Chapter 2's free time, 4/5, but then I gave her something she hated. So I use the second free time from that chapter to try for it, misclick, and give her nothing.
Then she died.

Only in chapter 4 trail but I maxed out Nanami, Gundham and Nekomaru.
Aiming to finish up Kuzuryuu next and I guesssss Sonia gets my leftover free time.
Never really had a problem with finishing people's free time events up, I usually stalked who I wanted to max out first and foremost.

*high five*
I maxed both Nekomaru and Gundham first. I worked on Mikan next, but then she went cuckoo. Maxed Sonia then started on Chiaki.
Real answer is because her FTEs have her going to the beach, clubhouse closet, and ranch to hang out, which you can't do if you're trapped in the funhouse.
Ohhhh this makes sense. Also explains why I couldn't do Akane's rank 4 and 5 until the next chapter. You have to go to the closet for the 4th.
Oh good point. That explains a few things.
Massaging. He says it explicitly in an optional scene where Soda forces Hajime to go see what "it" is.

It's his massage/pressure point technique. You can see it during the bonus scene in Chapter 3.
Though Hajime was the only one that had to get completely naked... :3
