I think it's fairly unlikely up to this point that anyone would accuse me of sexual assault, but I have an active and weird sex life that would pretty well prevent me from running for any sort of office in the foreseeable future if it got out.

I'm confused here, do you realize that the reason Nagito did that was to save Chiaki and kill everyone else? He wasn't forcing Chiaki to become a murderer, he actually legit thought nobody could solve the crime and she would successfully win the game as a result, and it almost worked. He fell into despair after realizing that everyone but Chiaki was a remnant of despair, the very thing he hated most, and that Chiaki was the lone good guy.
Also, this is why this would be my #1 favorite twist in the series - the whole time I thought Nagito just did a crazy thing because he was crazy, but he actually had a really sensible motive, and a REALLY good reason for plotting the crime EXACTLY as he did. I legit didn't expect that.

3. Nagito didn't actually kill himself
I spent a good 60% of Case 2-5 expecting an end result of suicide. All the evidence pointed to it, and we had no one left in the cast that I felt was capable of murder. But nope! Turns out the victim is a truly twisted individual and forced the character who had been trying the hardest to stop every murder in the game to commit one of her own. Watching the remaining cast spiral into despair at the thought that one of them was guilty and they had no way to tell which one is my favorite 40-ish minutes of trial in the entire series.

I mean, the Chinese Zodiac happens to overlap with a lot of prevalent types of animals, and then dragons which, are you really surprised there's a fire type that seems like one?
Also notably, the Chinese Zodiac overlaps with a lot of prevalent land mammals, and that's where fire types seem to draw most inspiration from, since they aren't usually aquatic creatures.

I would say that Infernape and Emboar lead at least some credence to this theory since both of them do kind of have a chinese vibe going on, but it doesn't really feel like they continued that throughline to Fennekin/Delphox, and if they were doing this on purpose they definitely didn't start doing it on purpose until Infernape

Further research indicates that Cyndaquil's name in japanese references the porcupine, so I guess it is a rodent

The fire starter = chinese zodiac thing seems like a very large reach given that Cyndaquil and Fennekin really don't fit nicely into it

Interesting to note by the way that hedgehogs are not rodents and porcupines are, but I dunno if strict taxonomy really applies here

btw I'm pretty sure Charmander derives its name from the folkloric salamander, not the animal salamander (which isn't even a reptile, it doesn't make sense for charmander to be one)

The thing I would say about AAI2 is that I think it's, like, in the category of "good" AA games that AAI1 and AA4 notably did not belong to, like it's a lot CLOSER to capturing the greatness of the original trilogy

I'm not sure I've seen too many people say it's the best game in the franchise, just that it's miles ahead of AAI1 (which you definitely seem to agree with lol), and that it's nearly as good as the original trilogy. I definitely liked it a lot - it definitely had a way more coherent and interesting story than AAI1 with more interesting twists, I really liked how every case tied together and why, and it had a lot of fun characters.
