I just watched a gameplay video where Rantarou appears in a recording before Chapter 4 and says that there is a significance to why the game will end with two survivors.
Is it because they end up as returning cast? Maybe Tsumugi also survived a previous killing game.
My personal baseless theory is that at the end there's probably always 3 people remaining, two of them being mastermind and designated hope. And then during final battle either hope or despair wins with designated extra also surviving considering it's Danganronpa I assume hope always wins, too.

In exchange for that quality image, I will accept that.

Do Ryouma's FTEs go into the reason he killed mafia members?
Hunter Fisher
So in his game Rantarou teamed up with whoever Hope was at time and the mastermind in that case died when they lost?
V3 was very different. Mastermind was still stopped, but Hope sacrificed itself. Audience probably assumes no one survived, even though 3 non-Team Danganronpa players escaped.

Anyone else feel that Hoshi's character was the most screwed over by the LMAO REALITY SHOW FAKE MEMORIES twist?
Basically, besides bringing up some good points in the first trial, he a detached entity from the class due to his memories of being a criminal on death row causing him to purposefully remove himself from them. He then literally lays down to die because he thinks he has nothing to live for as the second victim, with literally no exploration of his past or it actively affecting the rest of the cast at all (besides Kirumi, sort of).
This would feel less annoying if he was a real criminal- he'd subvert expectations for his character and die nobly to partially atone for what he did. But this stupid twist makes it so that his entire character's point was to be sad and removed from the cast because of fake memories and die without doing anything particularly impactful.
At least with the other two characters with criminal identities/memories implanted in them (Ouma and Korekiyo) had large effects on the rest of the cast and story overall. In negative ways, sure, but at least their implanted memories informed their actions and caused them to impact everyone else. This twist basically turned Hoshi into nothing but a forgettable plot device.
He really makes me wish the prison theme was more prominent and actually tied into the story.

That's actually the whole formula for each season. They're always intended to come down to a showdown between SHSL Hope and SHSL Despair. Kiibo was the designated protag, hence the massive ahoge, being the audience surrogate, and going full Naegi in the last trial. The audience tries to take control of him because Saihara rejecting both Hope and Despair destroys the whole point of Danganronpa.

Good stuff regardless.

I wonder if DR54 will be nothing more than senseless deathmatch since there is no hope or despair, just violence.

I'm tired and don't have anything poignant to add, but I definitely agree with you on this.

>Kiibo was the designated protag If so, then putting other people with ahoges in the killing game was a mistake. And Kiibo was treated terribly by almost everyone.

So what happens if they catch the Mastermind in chapter 1? That actually had a real chance of happening if just a couple of things went differently.
They erase everyone's memories and start all over again?
It's missing a page and the person translated it for ants. You can probably find the fullsize version anywhere else easily

Caleb Campbell
I have extremely confusing and mixed feelings about this.
Easton Murphy
He was no more screwed over than Kaito, who had a disease that would have killed him anyways.
I do agree that he has probably the most brutal way of going yet despite not being executed. Knowing that people dislike you because you're a criminal, but on top of that not having anyone in the world that cares for you is heartbreaking. He already wanted to commit suicide at the beginning, but the motives from the second trail really did him in, I feel like anybody in the position would have done the same thing tb.h. He must have requested hard mode or something, or they possibly thought he would've been a big threat seeing as how he looks like the only one that wasn't visibly shaken/sweating during the scene where they're all kidnapped.
Ryder Sanchez
Haha, when I was drawing I kept referencing that piece over and over again, because even though it was so half-assed, there was something I really liked about how I drew it. Glad people liked it.
Thanks fellers, it means a lot!
Isaac Edwards
>This would feel less annoying if he was a real criminal This should've been the case for everyone. The prison theme was a potentially great idea, but completely wasted on this game.
Either introduce a new hidden player or make an existing player the new mastermind.
Isaiah Morales
Saihara not treating him terribly actually made it so the outcome of the game was different, though.
Josiah Phillips
Nah, I believe we can co-exist peacefully!
Christian Anderson
There is the chance that his talent and his background are kind of real.
But if they aren't. I guess it goes to show how fucked up team DR can be.
Parker Kelly
Yes, but Kiibo didn't feel like the MC hope character until toward the end. He was the comic relief joke character before that.

Hoshi's actually the one flaw in the "their talents were real but they went into hiding and the brainwashing was to bring them out/expose them publicly" theory.
If he really was a criminal on death row, how did he get out to go into hiding as a regular high school student? Was it that if he gave up his talent, he was allowed to go free? Did he escape somehow and erase his identity by hiding his talent? Why wasn't he hunted down in prison by those doing the SHSL hunt when it'd be incredibly easy to do so?
Anthony Nelson
They probably only wanted him to go full hope protag at the end.

So I just finished the first two games. Are there any other murder mystery games or is it just wait for V3? I think Despair Girls is a FPS or something.

Why would sealing their talents protect them anyways? They could just not use them.
Bentley Clark
I think by "sealing" it really meant "totally discarding their identities, including their talents".
Think witness protection. Even if you stopped using your talent you'd still be known as someone who had it in the first place. You'd need to abandon that identity entirely to stay safe.

Were they given plastic surgery too? Wouldn't they notice they don't look the same when they got their memories back?
Alexander Gomez
They miscalculated Shuichi's character because he told Kibo to shut up about his fake hope. If Junko or someone like her is behind Team Danganronpa then they might want to confront Shuichi again due to how unpredictable he was. That is if the world doesn't think V3 had no survivors.
Mason Perez
Groping Asahina!
Christian Bailey
Doubtful, they probably just moved to different areas and kept a very low profile.
Easton Watson
Don't think It is. It can be explained on several ways actually, one of them being that Hoshi was actually never caught in his life
If Kiibo was killed in the NWP, would he actually die since the program seems to affect brain activity if you die in it and kills you that way in the real world (shuts off your brain and kills you by lack of oxygen/blood flow/etc)?
Parker Wood
Enjoy!

Jackson Bell
Fair enough; they did all get caught eventually. It'd be stupid if the people conducting the SHSL Hunt didn't think to look into every high school student in the country. There would still be some things they can't change about their identity.
Cooper Peterson
I want to feed him cakes to cheer him up

Liam Butler
To be fair, some of the students have talents that relate to specifically disguising themselves or faking their identity. Tsumugi's a cosplayer, Korekiyo covers most of his body, Ouma's a thief/criminal who already was used to evading capture, Kaito could forge papers well enough to fool astronauts, Saihara could easily make himself disappear using forged evidence/papers, Kirumi's basically already living a double life, Gonta lived in the woods and is probably not all that well known anyway, Maki is an assassin and also used to hiding herself/identity, etc etc
Some are harder to hide (Kaede, Angie, Rantarou, Himiko) but most could employ the intelligence/aspects behind their talent to hide themselves.

Juzoposting, huh? This is all I'm going to post. This is old, but... he still gets so much fanart.
Gavin Jones
What the hell was Ouma's TDR-implanted personality/talent supposed to be if everything really was faked?
Was he supposed to be a simple chuuni troll that dies chapter 1 after annoying someone who somehow went rouge and seemingly psycho? Was he supposed to be a straight up psychopath/despair that somehow broke some of his brainwashing to want to target the mastermind in the end instead of everyone else? Did they actually program him to be working this half double agent half actual agent thing?
Did something go wrong with his brainwashing? If they wanted him to be purely evil, then why program him with an aversion to killing? If he was supposed to just be a mean spirited troll without much else to him, why'd he go so batshit and start pulling ruses?
Nathan Brown
>sketching creepy eyes kaede before going the bed This shit will give me nightmares.
>tfw no actual prison with actual criminals who are not brainwashed and remember their sins and super duper crimes >tfw no mad trials when everyone is a suspect because everyone has a second "face", and you can't say when the piece of shit in front of you is lying or not >almost everyone is giving fake statements on trials for lulz, investigation is either nearly impossible or very effective because the other criminals are cooperating Fuck you Kodaka. DRv3 could've been great without your stupid FICTION.

Some people have said he seems to remember things from pre brainwashing. We'll have to wait for full translations to confirm.
