3. Chiaki Shes really the only helpful person besides Nagito in the trials so she most likely isnt going to die. Who would push things along if we get stuck? Shes sort of Kyoko-lite in that she serves as the smart, explain-y role that keeps things moving, but does so in a way that isnt nearly as intrusive as Kyoko. Sleepy gamer girl will be playing Pong on the flight home after she survives all this.

2. Hajime Hajime makes for a fairly good protagonist this far. One of my big problems with the last game was generic guy whose name I'll keep pretending to not remember never really did much on his own. He inspired those around him, but when it came time to figure out something, Kyoko basically did all the heavy lifting. It wasnt even a gentle nudge in the right direction, frequently she just sort of solved things for you if it got too tricky. So far, the game does a better job letting you figure things out on your own and Hajime really seems to be holding his own in the trial segments. Nice upgrade! Weird his special talent still hasnt been revealed, but well probably get that twist at the end.

1. Mikan Her this is my medical report clue is pretty much guaranteed to keep her around for the entire game now. Who else is going to fill that role? Im not convinced like half of these remaining people even have a full grasp of how the human body works, and certainly not enough to give a working opinion on how someone died. Mahiru dead due to a single blow to the head with a blunt object. No one else in the cast is going to get nearly that specific. Uhso it looks like her head is leaking some sort of juice and my professional opinion is that we should drink it. Thats the sort of thing that would replace it. Going through the characters I think will survive, there is actually a kind of strong comparison to those that survived in the first game. Akane is fake Hina, Hajime is fake whatever his name is, Chiaki is fake Kyoko, and Fuyuhiko is fake Byakuya. Those parallels are obvious. Ibuki serves as a pretty good Hiro stand in, since they are both kind of weird goofball dummies, so Mikan/Genocide Jill are really the only two that dont have a strong parallel. Mikan is more of a Chihiro what with all the extreme timidness than our girl GJ unless she has some crazy split personality shes been hiding so far. (I actually realized just writing this up that Sonia is probably a better comparison for Hina as the real heart of the group and maybe Akane OR Ibuki is the Hiro as a dumb comic relief. Whatever though this whole aside was kind of a stretch but Im not rewriting this list now but Ill remember it for the next POWER RANKINGS.)
