Ok before we begin, let's make some wild guesses.

First, who is gonna die first. I'm gonna make a bold one and go with Shuichi, the Detective. So far he's been a protagonist, but he kind of felt like a boring character compared to all those crazy people so far. Killing him would create some good starting drama like with Sayaka in DR1. It would force Kaede to step up and do great in the first trial. And it would help avoid the Kyoko issue, where the detective does all the work.

There aren't many other killable candidates, tbh. The only other ones I see likely are Aikido Master, Astronaut and Maid. Because I think the game already gave everything there was to know about them.

Green Hair is obviously lasting all game. If he dies now I'll call fake out. Gonta, Anthropologist and Inventor are too cool to die now. Tennis Pro is overflowing with character potential. Magician and Cosplayer have a lot of gag potential. Childcare Giver seems like she has an arc to build. Artist is one dimensional but I think the game will abuse her shtick like they abused Hiro, for better or for worse. Supreme Leader is annoying but he has a lot of interesting dialogue and backstory to milk yet. Robot has a huge death flag, since his unusual body could be used for different kills (see Nekomaru), either as the victim or the killer, but he is too unique to be Case 1 fodder.

If Shuichi makes it to Case 2, he is now my top pick for mastermind. If I'm right and he dies, I'm gonna make another wild guess and say it's Astronaut. Just a hunch. Last time I guessed Chiaki and I didn't hit the mastermind (which was impossible) but I hit the traitor, so let's see if I can repeat the feat.
