I'M SO READY

this is so true NOOOOOOO

Just got hit with the revelation that Hama, Harada, and Chiba are just Mondo, Kiyotaka, and Chihiro in a different font and I’m not okay

I love you Arei, but you were dumb for this. (Ch.1 mini analysis)

Do y'all remember that comment about a water leak that Arei made in the first trial?

I just realized how stupid her comment was (about the existence of a water leak, not the videos). If someone had debunked that comment right then and there (or if she hadn't said anything at all), the cast would've gotten through this trial much faster.

Here's why Arei's comment was dumb in the first place, and what it prevented the cast from figuring out. (Ch 1 spoilers)

Why was Arei's comment illogical?

When there's a water leak, there's typically evidence of one somewhere, and there was no evidence.

Normally when there's a water leak, there would be signs of that in the ceiling, the furniture, or the appliances in the room. There's not much furniture in the computer lab, but their are a bunch of appliances. The computers and the disc readers in the room show no signs of damage, and neither does the ceiling. If there was mold or damage of any kind, MonoTV would have noticed and took care of it (like it did with the gym in Ch. 2).

2. More importantly, a water leak doesn't explain why Xander's corpse was found soaking wet.

Not sure how Arei completely disregarded this, and how people took her comment at face-value.

These two reasons above prove that there was no water leak to begin with.

What did it prevent the cast from figuring out?

The existence of a third party.

The water alone proves that there was a third party. Xander was the one who was found soaked, so it's pretty clear that he didn't bring any water. He's also the one who originally orchestrated the murder plan. It wouldn't make any sense for him to bring water to a computer lab. Teruko didn't bring it either, since she was found completely dry. If she did bring water, there would be a vessel that holds water lying around somewhere. There's no evidence of either of them leaving the room to get water. The only option left is a third party (Min), who indeed had a vessel that holds water (a bucket) and splashed it on Xander, which is why he was wet, as y'all know.

2. Teruko's innocence.

The existence of said third party proves Teruko's innocence. There were plenty of other reasons that prove Teruko's innocence (LIKE XANDER STABBING HER), but somehow this is the one that proved her innocent.

I realize now that Teruko could've started with talking about the water on the floor first instead of the bloodstains, but it works either way. I really wish Arei hadn't said what she said, because it was beyond stupid. I also wish someone in the cast had noticed she said that sooner, and used a rebuttal against her statement.

Maybe I'll do more analysis in the future :)

standing by this

If you hate teruko you hate women

almost spit my smoothie out seeing this lmaoooo

other peoples art of david: insightful, meaningful, relevant to the latest episode

me:

just realized something (chapter 2 spoilers)

not only is teruko being more harsh towards her peers in ch.2, she's also not fully listening to people either (especially in her convo with whit in episode 2).

in that conversation, whit tells teruko how everyone has good qualities, no matter how they treat others (and i quote, "...even if you're acting cold, there's still a part of you that's good-"). teruko IMMEDIATELY shuts him down and tells him she's not a good person (and i quote (again), "Don't say that I could be a good person, because all it'll do is make me feel bad that I'm not".)

i watched this a couple of times, thinking, "how did teruko misinterpret that? whit was crystal clear!" being a good person and having good qualities are two different things, and the former is what whit was talking about.

i love teruko so much but smh.

miu and kibo in a nutshell

PLease tell me nobodys done this yet PLEASEEE

VA appreciation

Honestly, hats off to all the VAs, especially Teruko and Ace's VAs. Well done.

I think the fanganronpa community would be a lot nicer and happier if we all collectively invested ourselves into nicher fan games. Like yes, P:EG is great, DRDT is amazing, SDRA2 is peak, but if those are the only fangans you have consumed you need to delve deeper. Go find something with like 20 views and art that looks kinda sketchy and go sit through it. If it's good, fuck yeah, new thing to be crazy over! If it's bad, then congratulations, you've consumed a bad piece of media, now be normal about it. It's fanfiction. Stop expecting every fangan to be Edens Garden visually. Stop expecting every murder case to have LINUJ level complicated. Stop expecting every fangan to be peak fiction and better than danganronpa in every way or else it's bad and horrible forever. It's fucking fanfiction. People are creating fangans for fun and you consume them for fun, and there are so many fun fangans you can find and cherish and experience if you open yourself up to flawed media.

it's honestly really stupid that the internet was all "the acolyte is a shitshow" but in reality it's not actually that bad. it needs work, sure, but it's not a shitty show objectively. it's just mid, honestly

I FIGURED IT OUT YAYYY

spoilers ahead

why david isn't in here, idk. but this was so funnnn!!!
