There have been some speculations around the web that Pekoyama will make it pretty far and have Fuyuhiko die instead, so she will have to contend to live as her own person. I'd be all for it.

If Hajime gets ganked first I'm pretty sure at that point they'll just kill the rest of the original survivors early too. Could easily see Akane, Fuyuhiko, and Sonia dead in the first two chapters, and if so I doubt Kazuichi makes it very far.

Kazuichi making to the end a second time when all of the other OG survivors get got early is totally something they'd do.

I certainly hope, by the way, that they think of things to do with the cast that I could never have even thought of

I think it would be really neat if we're still Hajime to start, and along the way, preferably for the first case, we get to see his last moments as he's the one to get murdered, but it obscures the culprit's identity in some way, and that's when we switch perspectives to someone else.

I can't imagine Chiaki as anything other than an early death, the new mastermind, or in a major swerve, being the new protagonist if Hajime bites it.
The new mastermind is the protagonist let's go

Responding to Paratroopa:

First person you listed: Fair. Next. (I can only have 15 spoiler blocks.)
Mahiru - She definitely needs to stick around a bit longer. If the biggest issue with 2 is that the case is incohesive and unhelpful, Mahiru could go a long way toward that.
Peko - One of my favorites from 2 who didn't really get a chance. Obviously her relationship with Fuyu has to get flipped...unless they think we all know that will happen and decide to subvert it.
Hiyoko - Meh. I did not give two shits about Fuyuhiko before or after his "arc," and I don't think I'd care about her, either.
Chiaki - She's dying, but in like case 4.
Nagito - hell if I know what's happening here. Maybe he tries to kill someone in case 1 like before, but Teruteru doesn't intervene and he actually succeeds. And that's where everything diverges.
Hajime - A protag swap would be fun, which is why I really would rather see this happen with 3 and they could just leave Kaede. I remember very little about Hajime tbh. He was less useless than Makoto, and that's really all I remember.
Teruteru - They killed the character of that art style in case 2 in the following game, which is a decision I support because they both just look weird. Teruteru is also unpleasant.
Mikan - Will be a victim this time.
Ibuki - Does not contribute much...but neither did Kazuichi. She'll probably take his slot.
Gundham - I think I'm the only person who doesn't love Gundham. But yeah, he made it to case 4 and there's not much more to explore in his character.
Sonia - I cannot think of a more vanilla pointless character in this series. She's not incompetent, but she also only exists for Kazuichi to mack on.
Nekomaru - Will somehow take one for the team. Don't know if that means dying again like he did in 2-4, or killing for someone else's benefit, but the big person never survives the game, so why start now?
Kazuichi - Outside of repairing the elevator, does he ever contribute anything meaningful to the entire game? In a way, he brings Hajime to the crime scene in case 2, I guess, but only because he's being a horny pervert.
Akane - I actually like Akane. Or, at least, I like looking at her. I will admit that her going all unhinged and randomly just fighting things doesn't really add much to the plot, other than setting up Nekomaru for being roboted.
Fuyuhiko - And nothing of value was lost.

What if the hamsters kill someone without Gundham's awareness? Would he be considered the killer?

As their owner, yes. He would be held responsible for a murder he did not personally commit.

How did the hamsters even get in the simulation in the first place? Are they hooked up to the machine too, or are they AI too?

A better question is how they're still alive, since hamsters live like two years, and Gundham spent whatever amount of time being evil.

I've heard that since the lead writer also took the lead on Danganronpa S, and since Teruteru apparently gets a lot of focus and is way, way less annoying there, he might actually be poised to live pretty long

Also the reason they won't do this with V3 beyond the obvious "doing this is basically antithetical to this game's message" thing is that Kaede's JP VA, Sayaka Kanda, passed away a couple of years ago.

Case 3 can't happen without someone to build the video communicators. DR writers like having a tech person onboard to build answers, it's why Miu's tech is integral to half of V3

All I want is more of the ultimate imposter and I'm good. my favourite bit the dust way too early living for the angst potential of peko and fuyuhiko switching. you know the fanwork creators are going to hog wild with that. I am also wholly on board with the mahiru/hiyoko protagonist and assistant dynamic. didnt think of that and now I might be mildly disappointed if it doesn't happen!

It'll be funny when Peko and Fuyuhiko both just die pointlessly early on.

So, the main plot twists of DR2 are:
  • Hajime is a reserve course student
  • Hajime is Izuru
  • Chiaki is the traitor
  • Everyone is an Ultimate Despair and it's years in the future
  • AI Junko
  • Ultimate Imposter isn't the real Byakuya
They obviously can't uncover all of this at the same time as the original game, so one presumes they'll learn everything way faster and there'll be new mysteries to uncover. I wonder how they'll handle all of these.

And for the record, I definitely agree that the Ultimate Imposter angle ended up being completely wasted. We never really learn anything about the guy, or why. I think that was actually kinda the point with the way Monokuma taunts you about how useless investigating that guy was.
