We are in the first half of the case and Shuichi already proved Kaede innocent. He's on a roll here. That's probably going to cost a Monokub's life.

Wow he killed Monodam this time. Monokuma doesn't give a fuck, huh.

3-1's lame ass motive can be explained by the Mastermind getting desperate because the team's Makoto was just OP. She just made everyone friends and nullified the killing game from the start. And even that motive failed, so they had to take a next step and make a kill of their own. Did they know Kaede was also trying to make a kill, too, or was that a lucky coincidence? Would have they pinned the blame on someone else had Kaede not made her kill attempt?

Ok so the kids deduce the mastermind knew about her killing plan, but had a fail safe in case the ball missed. That's some speed chess right there.

Shuichi just broke Danganronopa.

Shuichi is making me reassess the notion that a DR protagonist is boring. He is badass as fuck right now. And he's doing it without plot SSJ powers or help from Kyoko. He's just cracking the game open with pure logic, Apollo Justice style.

"All the guys you date will be single fathers curse". They keep getting scarier.

If Tsumugi is the mastermind she's being pretty bold by bringing the twin sister plot in. I mean, she just eliminated Shuichi and Keebo from the pool. Though this plot could be a diversion.

I guess Tsumugi (who may or may not be Kaede's twin sister in the end) brought that up to imply the mastermind is a secret 17th player they would not have access to. But this is not DR1. The mastermind is standing in the class trial right now.

This Mastermind did not have the luxury of a sister who actually worshipped her and would disguise as her so she could stay hidden.

The game is letting me go after Tsumugi kind of early in the trial. I'm now feeling this is too easy.

Eat shit, Tsumugi. Assuming that's not a red herring.

The only thing that keeps this case unsolved is that the bathroom thing is not conclusive proof. Tsumugi is now the most obvious suspect, but Keebo and a few dead people still have crappy alibis. Tsumugi may have just went to the bathroom at a different time the killer went in.

Well, this case seems to have fewer truth bullets so maybe it's just shorter and the second half will involve explaining the plot, similarly to 1-6.

Shuichi is not considering the possibility that Tsumugi went there at a different time. This feels like a plot hole. Keebo could have gone there one hour earlier and nobody would have noticed.

The "give birth" thing is clever and I hadn't noticed that myself. But it's STILL not conclusive. I can see Tsumugi's goose cooking in her eyes, though.

Bye Monosuke. You suck at arguing.

We are about to solve the case for good and Monokuma is like "lol so exciting". Fuck.

Now he's rushing the case. We are about to be trolled, huh.

This closing argument even has fewer panels. It's like the whole thing is just a distraction.

It starts at Act 4 this time. Cool.

NEW ACT 5 unlocked.

No Hangman's Gambit. No Mind Mine. No rythm game. No Debate Scrum or 3-way debate thing. Unused truth bullets in the list. I'm calling sheganigans.

And Tsumugi played the Junko card. Damn Tsumugi, that's too simple.

Oh shit. Tsumugi is Junko.

It's always Junko.

The 53rd. Okay.

But the trial is still not over, so I guess the twist this time will be "it's not actually Junko after all". This is gonna be fun.

I guess she's either a clone or a robot. And if robot, she has Virtual!Junko installed in her CPU. Told you that AI was going to come back in some way.

She said Kokichi is a remnant. Contradiction detected.

I was right. The cast is not aware of Despair Arc. They think it was just Junko.

They also seem to think the killing game was the cause of despair, but that's flat out wrong. The killing game was just the icing on the cake.

Hmm the book kind of contradicts the original canon too, if it ignores the existance of the Reserve Course.

Ok maybe there isn't a save point and we are close to the end, but this is taking too long. I'm taking a break.
