I mean, Monokuma is 100% clear that regardless of what Peko says that she is the one responsible for Mahirus death. What was her plan if her Hiyoko distraction worked? Everyone votes Hiyoko and then Fuyuhiko, the person she loves and has sworn to protect, dies with everyone else. By going along and making it look like Hiyoko did it, she is possibly dooming Fuyuhiko to death. This is a rule clarification she absolutely needed like right after she killed Mahiru. Going boy I sure do hope Monokuma thinks I am a tool and not a person ho hum while doctoring the crime scene to point to someone else is a level of stupidity that blows away anything Hiro or Akane ever did. The successful execution of her plan results in her escaping, not Fuyuhiko. And, say she was smart enough to at least realize that and her goal was to make it look like she was framing Hiyoko so they'd catch her. Then it is even dumber, because SHE DID DO IT. There is no convincing needed. No need to make it look like you are Sparking Justice. All she has to do is tell them she did it. I have literally idea what is going on in this case because of how stupid the whole thing is, but I know whatever it was that Peko severely messed up in some way.

This is an absolutely convoluted mess of a plan that seems to confuse that Fuyuhiko and Peko have different plans and motivations. Fuyuhiko is the one who wants to frame Hiyoko when he is setting up the murder. Peko is the one who wants to just get Fuyuhiko off of the island. Both of these tend to get wrapped into Pekos overall plan though in a way that just doesnt make sense. A lot of this is the fault of how terrible the motive is. The motive targets literally one person in Fuyuhiko. Of course, that is too obvious. So instead, they have to come up with some reason why someone else might want to kill to help Fuyuhiko. And then they have to figure out a way why this person would want to kill for Fuyuhiko but then at the same time rationalize why this person would be ok with Fuyuhiko dying if they win the trial. And their solution isthis. This horrible, convoluted mess of a plot and murder plan where almost nothing makes sense.

Oh, and then the game has the AUDACITY to give us the BS line about how Fuyuhiko just wanted to talk to her. Like, he tells that to us during the trial. I really only wanted to talk to her or something like that is the line. Yeah, you know what you do when you just want to talk to someone? Im asking because Fuyuhiko sure as hell doesnt. Because just talking to someone doesnt involved writing notes to separate your target from their friend, drugging someone and hiding them in the back room, and hiding a murder weapon under a bench before your target gets there. If the game had just said that Fuyuhiko was planning to commit the murder, it makes more sense. Instead, they try to frame it as a crime of passion because Mahiru told him murder was bad. But obviously this makes absolutely zero sense considering the stuff Fuyuhiko had to do before hand. Like I said before, it is a mess. I cant tell if the game forgets who did what between Peko and Fuyuhiko, but the way it switches between the two of them and wanting Fuyuhiko to have some semblance of innocence so the last scene hits hard makes the case so monumentally stupid.

There are only a few things that save this case from the basement. Like I said, I like the cast in the second game and at this point most of them are still alive. It still has the fun early game energy where so many people are around and you can talk to them and figure out their personalities, and you just have the gnawing sense of dread that half of them are going to die very soon. I love the early chapters in Danganronpa games just for the setup, which I still think is one of the most fun in gaming. Also, Kazuichi wanting to spy on the girls had BIG PORKYS energy, which was kinda fun. And the execution scene was excellent. That was probably the determining factor getting this all the way up to 11. I love Peko and Fuyuhiko struggling to get words out before Pekos time is up, and this wouldve been an all time ending if the game had the guts to kill Fuyuhiko at the same time for his role in things. The whole scene was amazing, and it pretty much saved me from absolutely hating the entirety of this chapter. Unfortunately, the rest of the chapter is straight up awful. I was very excited to get into the game after the introduction, and this whole chapter did so much to take the wind out of my sails. What an awful way to start an otherwise very good game.
