They keep showing the stepladder from a flashback where Ibuki is climbing on it and there is no blood on the side. Hey, lazy artist, would it kill you to keep things consistent?
Ok, so the black curtain at the back here was specifically brought over by someone since it was found at the supermarket and doesnt really fit the stage. So the killer is someone who is also obsessed with interior design but not very good at it. That should narrow it down a bit
Nagito is really super weird about the rope, and calls Mikan over to confirm Ibuki hung herself. Mikan says yes and then Nagito is like oh jeez guess I was wrong tee hee never mind silly ol me. I dont know what the hell that is supposed to mean, but that is some negative points for Mikan, I think. The clue itself says oh MIKAN says for sure this is the murder weapon while the Monokuma file is a bit less specific and says the cause of death was a crushed windpipe from choking. But Mikan is Hajimes boo so I hope this isnt true. I dont know what else Nagito could be getting at though.
There is blood all over Ibukis shoes. So, she 100% was the second to die. And she very likely killed Hiyoko? Maybe under the orders of someone else? But then where the hell was Hiyoko? Stashed somewhere? They did duct tape the neck to stop the bleeding.
Fuyuhiko comes over and talks about what I saw when I first arrived and says oh ok so Ibuki died first mm hmm WRONG. Hes clearly not following along in my notes, the fool.
I go to inspect the storage room and creepy Nagito is there being creepy. He claims not to be on the killers side, and always sides with whoever is on the side of hope. Which is what makes this case so special. what the hell does THAT mean?
Seriously what kind of weird clue is that? He goes on to say he cant ignore this case this time. Why? TELL ME WHY YOU VAGUE BASTARD
Can I just take another moment to say what a cool antagonist Nagito is for this kind of game? Hes over the top and all, but he works so well in a mystery game like this because you dont know what sort of weird bullshit is just him messing with you.
Now he wants me to meet him at the movie theater. I guess were going to have to watch Monokumas terrible movie for clues again.
There are stickers on the chair (which Hajime loudly points out is smaller than the stack of stickers the last time he was there) and some thick black wallpaper with stickers all over it in the storage room. And the paper has a rip in the corner. Oh. OH! Oh wait, so this was maybe covering up Hiyokos body. Which is why I didnt see it when I first ran in. And the someone tore it down and hid it in this room right after I left.
Ok, so that clears Gunham and Chiaki 100%. Since they were outside the motel when I got there. That could leave Mikan or Fuyuhiko as suspects still though, since Fuyuhiko wasnt there to see the video in the morning and Mikan was outside of the hospital clearly when she was trying to find the rest of us. Although unless she was running behind Hajime and he didn't notice it on this big empty island, that seems a bit unlikely. It is more likely (to me) that the killer was hiding in there, waited for me to leave, and then tore down the covering. So...Fuyuhiko?
Now that I think about it the game made a point to show that Fuyuhiko was there early for the video the day before. I wonder if that was meant to hint at something. Like he wasn't early this morning because he was setting stuff up. Hm hm hm.
Mikan now says she cant give much info on the autopsy. The heat of the venue makes it too hard to estimate the time of death. Is that true? If Ibuki was dead for like five minutes I dont think heat could mess things up that muchcould it? IVE GOT MY EYE ON YOU NURSE.
That explains the heat though. So it has to either be Mikan faking it or someone who is smart enough to know the heat could mess with the autopsy reports. So once again Im still looking at Fuyuhiko and Mikan.
Apparently this is all a imitation of the movie Monokuma made people watch. Was I the only person that skipped out on the film? Apparently even on death island no one wants to go into debt.
Sonia: Excuse me, if this was really an imitation of that moviethen is it possible that one more person might have been killed? *looks around at cast* Well considering everyone else is still here, aliveIm going to say no, Sonia. No it isnt.
Monokuma shows up to make an additional rule that the blackened can only kill two people so they just dont go around murdering everyone at once. Yeah, good rule. Probably shouldve put that in place like ten days ago. Im glad the killer didnt just Air Bud their way off the island before this while Monokuma flips through the rulebook and the killer says well, the rules didnt SAY I couldnt kill everyone.
Monokuma also clarifies that only one killer can be a killer at a time, and he would stop two kills from two different people from occupying simultaneously. Which means either Ibuki didnt kill Hiyoko or there was some mastermind she was working for.
To the theater! Monokuma gives me a ticket that he stamps, Nagito tells me it is SUPER IMPORTANT I hold on to that, and it gets immediately added to the truth bullets section of my notebook. Ok then. Maybe someone is going to falsely accuse me of doing it and I can go NUH UH I DIDNT EVEN SEE THE MOVIE UNTIL RIGHT NOW JERK. Im trying to think who wasnt around when I said I didnt see the movie that would be caught off guard by this. Kazuichi made a weird point to storm out because it was too hot so maybe him?
I look at the goods counter and Monokuma accidentally lets it slip the killer bought the bag. And then tells me there are actually two bags the killer has that look exactly identical. Im beginning to think Monokuma WANTS us to catch the killer at this rate.
The two identical bags thing is a clue. BUT WHY? Why is it important a second bag was made? HMMM.
I have no clue what the hell this movie was supposed to tell us about the killing. Unless it was that someone told Ibuki to kill herself and she did because that was explicitly stated in the movie? But that was pretty obvious so I dunnow hat I am supposed to have learned from this.
They flash back to Ibuki hanging herself and they show the column Hiyoko was tied to and it is huge and thick compared to the really think one at the scene now. I took note of the size before I left because I thought they showed this column before. So thats one mystery solved at least! Hiyoko killed and hidden under the mat.
Hiyokos suspended body matches the lions death too No it doesnt you dummy, he was shot by arrows. Were you even watching or were you just checking your phone?
I legit thought her death was supposed to be the tin man's death because he was hacked to pieces. Terrible imitation killing if it isn't even obvious what killing you're imitating, imho.
I just check my map and it turns out Sonia isnt anywhere. HMMMM. Wonder where shes off at?
Fuyuhiko is acting very weird in front of the hotel. Hes like oh so Sonia and Kazuchi dont have alibis HOW WEIRD HUH and then proceeds to go my alibi is air tight I was with Mikan the entire time, I couldnt have strung Hiyoko up. Yeah, except I already figured out SHE WAS ALREADY DEAD AND ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS PULL THE CARPET OFF. Boom. It is like 99% either Mikan or Fuyuhiko, before they met up with each other in front of the hospital. Hopefully Fuyuhiko because Mikan is awesome.
