Ya know, Im actually doubting Fuyuhikos whole no I was looking for reasons not to kill her and Im actually good at heart I just wanted to talk to Mahiru schtick considering the fact he hid the murder weapon under a bench and drugged Hiyoko before Mahiru got there. Wow good talk Im glad we did this. Also, no big deal, but there is a girl that is unconscious in the closet. I may or may not have drugged her to frame her from your murder. Also I am pulling out this giant metal bat from under the bench, which I may or may not have planning to use to club you to death. Well all laugh at this later, I swear!
Peko apparently snatched the bat from Fuyuhiko to murder Mahiru before he could to protect him from punishment for the murder. Just how slow is Mahiru, anyway? She wasnt ambushed, watched Fuyuhiko grab the bat, watched Peko run over, watched her snatch the bat from Fuyuhiko, and stood there and let herself get bludgeoned to death? She has the worst survival instincts ever. This all looks dangerous but I would be lying if I wasnt interested in where it was going.
Peko has a tearful goodbye to Fuyuhiko after Fuyuhiko admits that he didnt want Peko to do this, and Peko makes us promise not to resort to killing again. Yeah, easy for you to say, murderer.
Whoa, pretty excellent execution though. Peko goes through an entire army of Monokuma-bots before accidentally slashing Fuyuhiko who is desperately trying to get to her. While cradling him, she gets stabbed through the back and hacked to pieces by the rest of them. FATALITY.
Oh snap is Fuyuhiko dead too? WHAT? WHAT IS GOING ON.
Oh wait, hes alive and Monomi will save him! so hell probably die. Does the stuffed rabbit know basic surgery?
Monomi points out it is spelled out in the school rules that only the blackened receive punishment at the trial, so if Monokuma lets Fuyuhiko die, he would be breaking his own rules. Aw yeah, nice save stuffed rabbit. Tricks are for rabbits, too.
Hiyoko is not taking this everyone hoping Fuyuhiko gets better thing well. I cant blame her. Remember guys? He brought the metal bat? He was planning to frame Hiyoko before Peko even stepped in? He most likely killed Girl E (or had Peko do it)? He isnt a good guy in all of this. I know theyre going to give him a redemption arc, but Hiyoko is 100% right and yall are being dumb.
There is a little bonus scene where Monomi is talking to.someone.and reveals that shes not sure its best if they let us leave the island anymore. What the hell does that mean? And also that if the time reaches zero, it will revive the ultimate despair. WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN? Surprise Junko resurrection? But how? Things getting interesting, though.
Murder Plan Grade: F. F minus. Q. I dont even know how to grade this. Pekos whole plan here was to take the fall so Fuyuhiko could escape, which she does by trying her hardest to frame Hiyoko? Hey, uh, not to criticize your genius plan here, but maybe if you wanted to save Fuyuhiko by convincing Monokuma you were acting as his tool, you probably shouldnt have tried to frame a third person for it. What if it worked, you moron? We vote Hiyoko and then shes like AHA YOU FOOLS IT WAS ME WHICH MEANS IT IS ACTUALLY FUYUHIKO WHICH MEANS HE GETS TO LEAVE AND wait why are you killing him and everyone else oops I probably shouldve checked the technicalities to see if I counted as a tool or not before doing it, huh? This is the least competent frame myself plot Ive ever seen. If her goal was to allow Fuyuhiko to go free, she did literally everything wrong. Do you know how easy it is to frame yourself? Especially when you did it? Also Fuyuhikos plan seemed to be to frame Hiyoko toobut how was he planning to get out? Clearly he doesnt want Peko to die so was he planning to just sit there in Mahirus blood and take the blame. He couldnt climb out the window like Peko did so was he just going to leave Hiyoko there? It seems like this plan was planned with the intention of Peko carrying it out from the beginning, but also not with her carrying it out from the beginning.
Case Grade: D+. I loved the ending here, and that is all that saves this case from being my least favorite of the series so far. It was emotional and well written and just great all around. I just am not a fan of this case overall, though. I hate how the motive here targets only one person and that pretty much cuts out a pool of suspects from the beginning. The whole aside with figuring out the murder from two years ago or whatever was HORRENDOUS. It didn't make sense. Getting the clues was not fun. And "swimsuit full of gravel" might be the dumbest, least logical use of the nonstop debates to this point. Case 2 in game 1 was leagues better, and so far this is a game with better characters but worst cases. I dig some of the gameplay improvements, but a lot of these minigames are just straight up bad and getting in the way of the fun. This case in particular had like half of the questions be multiple choice, and that just isnt fun.
