I said I'd start tomorrow, but I guess I lied.

- Kaede is surprised to find herself in a classroom that's overgrown with vines. First, I'm a bit surprised we have a female main character, second, the vines imply that the school's been overgrown. I figured out last time that the game is just a simulation, so I guess my new prediction is that this game's plot twist is that it's set in the far future or something.
- Monsters chase me in the halls, oh my god this is so action-packed and exciting that I can't believe it.
- No Monokuma to be seen, but he's on the Steam banner, so I bet he'll show up eventually. Instead we have the Monokubs, or as I will refer to them, the Mono Rangers.
- Rantaro immediately figures out what's going on. Weren't the first two games publicly broadcasted or something? I assume we'll have an explanation for why no one else seems familiar with the killing game or Monokuma-lookalikes.
- Oh man, a magical musical clothing sequence, I can't possibly guess Kaede's ultimate talent.
- Kaede wakes up in the same classroom as before, and has amnesia again, this time not even remembering that she was kidnapped. What's going onnnnn
- HE IS ALL THAT REMAINS OF A ONCE POWERFUL YOKAI, I know I've heard this before, but I genuinely don't remember where.
- A different school than Hope's Peak, sounds like.
- Shuichi's another Ultimate Detective, eh? Huh. I honestly didn't expect any Ultimate talents to get reused besides luck. And I'm the Ultimate Pianist. Gonna be honest, "Ultimate Pianist" sounds harder to integrate into the story than Ultimate Luck or Ultimate Hope, but we'll see.
- "Ultimates are scattered all over, they're difficult to find." Dude, thirty-one out of thirty-two Ultimates so far have been from Japan. Ultimates are the easiest thing in the world to find as long as you're in Japan.
- Man, Kaede is taking this really casually. Only Yasuhiro was less concerned.
- "It makes sense, though, since magic doesn't exist." Kaede, did you not play Ultra Despair Girls? Did you not see the part where a ghost shows up?
- First game had all of the doors and windows bolted, second game was on an island, this game has a giant dome-cage. Alright.

Last time, I gave first impressions of each character and guessed their chances of being evil. I... guess I'm going to do the same thing again? I really wish I had done that for D1's cast.

Kaede Akamatsu: Ultimate Pianist
Obviously our protagonist. Her power is so much less impressive than Makoto's and Hajime's that it makes me wonder if she'll have a plot twist about her identity, but something tells me she won't.
Chance of being a victim: 0%
Chance of being a killer: 0%
Chance of surviving: 100%
Chance of being secretly behind everything: 30%

Shuichi Saihara: Ultimate Detective
Extremely suspicious that he reuses a previous Ultimate ability. It's also extremely suspicious that his power kind of renders Kaede's power useless for class trials. This indicates that he might bite the dust early so that she can step up. And yet, his picture gets equal representation as Kaede's on the Steam banner and the Steam trading cards. I am declaring that he has a good chance of secretly being behind everything, or dying in the late game. However, this is an outside chance of a chapter 1 or 2 death and the heavy advertisement of him being a misdirection. I just don't know if these games are clever enough to do that! What I can say for certain is that if he dies, he will definitely not have a midgame death.
Chance of being a victim: 50%
Chance of being a killer: 30%
Chance of surviving: 40%
Chance of being secretly behind everything: 40%

Tsumugi Shirogane: Ultimate Cosplayer
Completely fails to stand out in any way. I can imagine her cosplay powers being used in a convoluted murder where she impersonates someone else, though. This character screams early death to me.
Chance of being a victim: 55%
Chance of being a killer: 40%
Chance of surviving: 5%
Chance of being secretly behind everything: 30%

K1-B0: Ultimate Robot
This guy gave his entire backstory in the first conversation, which is something that people who die early tend to do. I guess this is also a good time to say that the characters seem a little... wackier? We'll see how things go, but this cast seems at least as wacky as D2's. I said in the first topic that D1's slightly more grounded cast worked better for me.
Chance of being a victim: 60%
Chance of being a killer: 30%
Chance of surviving: 10%
Chance of being secretly behind everything: 0%
