I am pretty sure that I remembered her name from her intro, and you would think they would have known everyone else's names already, especially taking note of her's as she is the second manliest person I have seen in an outfit like that. The manliest one is this guy


Just for the record, got a fake virus pop-up scam thing following that link. Which is weird, 'cause I always considered photobucket safe.

Dunno if it's just my computer or not.

I've only read/played through the first chapter of the game, but I've got the feeling that Naegi, Kirigiri and Celestia will be the last ones left.

Kirigiri has come to play some sort of mentor role for Naegi and actually seems to be the most level headed of the students, it almost seems as if she's been in similar situations before (doesn't suprise me if she turns out to be a Super Highschool Level Detective/Agent). During the investigation she constantly gives Naegi clues that he can use to prove himself innocent and after the execution she actually goes to his room to "cheer him up" (only word I could remember). So she'll probably be made to be one of the last survivors only to make the situation harder for Naegi.

The reason I think Celestia will be one of the last survivors is because I can see her having some sort of rivalery with Kirigiri (both are quite mysterious) and Kirigir will possibly kill her to protect Naegi in the end, either that or Celestia and the Noble guy will have something.

These are just theories tho...

You know, in a real court system, this whole episode would have been considered a mistrial. But I nitpick.

In a real school, you don't get pitted against other students to the death.

The bear is always watching them, so he signals the trial the moment they've found all the clues they need.

Episode 4

*Note: do not read the spoilers unless you want to see how I figured it out, and probably ruin next week if you had not figured it out already.

So we have spoiler[another murder], and this one seems rather obvious in my opinion. The evidence clearly shows that spoiler[items that things do not match how they were meant to be in the girl's gym, the poster that should have been in the boys room] is the damning evidence. Actually I already figured out what it points to from the very beginning, it is that spoiler[Chihiro is not a girl, we never saw "her" enter the locker room, and that is because "she" had to enter the boys room, this is why "she" went so late].

But why would spoiler[she be in the girls room]? That is because whoever spoiler[killed her needs to push blame away from them as much as possible, and because the killer was also a guy he had her moved to the girls locker room]. The evidence clearly points towards the spoiler[killer being Togami, he seems to be the only one that had a girl that might be crazy enough to move the body into the girls room, he was even doing research for murder in the library]. Evidence that it is spoiler[Togami if indeed there was two people is the fact that he went straight there, and made sure he was one of the first people finding it so that people would cast that he was one of the three people other than the murderer to find the body].

And beyond that, the simple fact that spoiler[Togami had all this evidence already lined up clearly shows that he is trying frame someone], way too suspicious. Personally, I would have thought that a really simple way to do it could involve just spoiler[swapping someone's booklet with your own], and perhaps spoiler[the automatic guns] could do the rest.

I mostly agree, given what we know from this episode.

spoiler[Fukawa is an obvious red-herring to take the fall for the crime. Out of all them, an heir to a multi-million dollar company would probably have the most to lose if some terrible secret was revealed and could cost him his future position or dishonor the family name. And if he could pin the blame on a crazy girl and make her think she was the murderer, all the better so he could get away with it. As for how, well, I'm not entirely sure yet. The extension cord was in the room Togami was in mostly, and as for the switched scenery in the locker rooms.. if he had an accomplice in Fukawa, the girl he's trying to blame, it could be done easily enough to take advantage of her mental state.]

The spoiler[second floor] seems interesting.
It certainly possesses a lot of possible murder sites.
Some new info about the "school" surfaced as well.
I think Naegi is the only normal kid there.
The rest of them are crazy in their own way.
Looks like those kids don't need much of an incentive to kill someone...
Wtf?! spoiler[Fukawa] is the one with the darkest secret after all.

Episode 4
Aww poor spoiler[Chihiro]...guess another one bites the dust. I'll just leave this comment short but the latest episode was actually kinda funny imo like the first half.

With the clues available, I'm looking forward to the next episode for the trial.

P.S. LOL @ the OP song.

I'm not completely sold on spoiler[Togami] because the show is shoving too much evidence against spoiler[him] and making spoiler[him] suddenly super suspicious. If it were, it would be so obvious it would be boring. It would also make no sense for spoiler[Togami to talk to Naegi about the Xenosomething muderer book, since that would lead directly to him -the one who was investigating murders in the library-].

Also, while the spoiler[Togami>>Fukawa theory would explain why Chihiro's body was in the Girl's room, it still doesn't explain why the posters were apparently switched ]. Like, what's the point of spoiler[switching the posters, from the murderer's point of view?]

Anyway, I just wish the show would be less frickin' obvious about the spoiler[deaths. The moment Monokuma popped up and info-dumped us about the locker rooms, I knew the next body would show up there]

spoiler[Blood got on the poster, so it was proof of where the murder happened, they just switched everything from one room to the next, although they did not seem to take notice that the posters are clearly different from the genders.]

Given that the name of the first killer was literally spoiler[written on the wall], I don't know what would be too obvious for this show.

Interesting guessing but let's look at two things: Togami's "serial killer" suspect spoiler[only targets men/guys]. {siren went off in my head at that one or maybe just a "well, duh" reaction in regards to Chihiro. MC just let it pass by. For now...}

Basic mystery pseudofact: Except for certain exceptions and spoiler[ pointing out your own missing protein spill doesn't count as evidence for, maybe], only men spoiler[can overpower men].

And number two: There are exceptions going both ways but considering the murder weapon's an extremely heavy weight, it's not a featherweight of either sex. Sorry but Togami? He's just not buff enuff.

Danganronpa's a neat series, a hell of a lot more interesting than Person 4 and I'm really enjoying the extremely clichéd anime designs but rewatch potential seems nil.
