So, we've had quite the past four episodes.

Kyoko's death, Chisa's despair, Jabberwock crew coming to town, and Chiaki's twelve minute long death.

Let's go over a few things.

Before we go over 9 and 10, there's something worth noting from Future 8.

When Kyosuke stabs the sword into the ground, it reflects Makoto as the hope side and Hina as the despair side, using Monokuma color logic.

Not saying Hina is the mastermind, but MAYBE it's worth noting. Maybe Kodaka will pull the rug out from under us and Hina betrayed everyone.

Anyway, the mysterious sixth person alive.

As you can see, someone else other than our mysterious 16th person is alive.

As I said before, Kyoko might be dead and Miayandroid never counted, but I REALLY want Kyoko to live. Please Kodaka? For my birthday a few days ago?

Nevertheless, the mastermind is 99% not Chiaki. I saw that because there is a 1% chance that Kodaka will find a way to bring Chiaki back.

Now, I love Chiaki, and I'd love it if she's somehow alive, but I'm still gonna call complete utter BULLSHIT that she lived through that. Hina? They explained that, I'm good. Kyoko? If she's alive, I'll take it, as long as there is a good explanation. But Chiaki? They are gonna have to give a fucking Zero Time Dilemma hidden Delta level explanation to have me be satisfied with that. I'd accept it and like it, but I won't be satisfied without proper explanation.

Speaking of deaths, in that big 4 person death episode, Kodaka killed many different types of characters. Killing Miayandroid is the first time a human looking robot is "killed". Killing Ruruka means both members of the only canon Danganronpa ship, as well as the only ship to make out, are dead. Killing Juzo now means that the first CONFIRMED, not incredibly heavily implied like Ibuki or Mikan or Teruteru, LGBT+ character in Danganronpa is dead. And Kyoko makes the first person to survive a killing game, only to die in a later one.

So, any bets on the mastermind or traitor? I'm betting the mastermind is a female, because Kodaka LOVES putting females in charge of this shit. Junko, Mukuro, Monaca, Chiaki was the SDR2 traitor, Sakura was the DR1 traitor, Celeste was the only one to successfully plan out and premeditate a murder in DR1, Mikan was the first to fall into despair, Chisa threw Chiaki into the elevator of her death, and Genocide Jill is a mass murderer.

Holy shit! Mikan was the first to fall into despair in DR3! Didn't Mikan also show some "despairish" traits in another DR game at a point involving the number 3?

SDR2: Chapter 3! Was that an intentional parallel!?

Speaking of Mikan, there ACTUALLY WAS some Komamiki last episode!

Okay, not really, but I saw someone post this picture on tumblr saying it was Komamiki and thought it was funny.

BUT SERIOUSLY, I WANT SOME GODDAMN KOMAMIKI! I DON'T CARE WHAT KIND ANYMORE! DESPAIR! FLUFFY! FLASHBACK! SEXUAL! JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING, KODAKA, YOU CRUSHER OF HOPES AND DREAMS AND FEELINGS!

Juzo having feelings for Kyosuke. I don't ship it, but I like how we do have a confirmed gay character. Though, he could be bisexual. Either way, I think it's unique for an anime. There are gay jokes here and there, but never really any confirmed gayness.

So anyway, Ryota still might be hiding something. At least on that phone. Cause we all know he's not playing Pokemon GO on that thing.

But, NicoB brought up a point in his reaction videos where maybe Ryota clenched his fist because he's feeling guilty that he caused all this with his anime methods that he helped Junko with.

Chisa might be the mastermind, Ryota might be, heck, some people are even thinking DAISAKU is the mastermind and Kodaka is pulling another Mukuro.

Though, they have a good reason. They said Daisaku might be the most underdeveloped character in all of Danganronpa. That's true, and I'm surprised we got NOTHING about him. He's just a farmer with a weird voice that sounds like a flying blue cat and died because Juzo kneed Ryota.

Chisa died first and she got WAY more development than ANYBODY!

Speaking of Chisa's death...

The entire Danganronpa fandom right now, to be honest.

Yeah, think about that. At this point in time, all the love interests for the main characters are dead. Take that, anime!

But, I'm happy the other characters got development. Juzo went from an angry asshole to a insecure homosexual who can't control his anger and emotions.

Ruruka went from selfish and bitchy, even though I never thought of her as that, to insecure and scared of betrayal and truly loving her boyfriend.

Sonosuke wasn't pegged as a silent bodyguard and got development. I forget who said that, but someone said that in an earlier chapter of this book. I think it was Rio...

We were shown Seiko's feelings and her side of her friendship with Ruruka, as well as her ultimate goal/dream to help everyone.

Even Koichi "Fedora Daddy" Kizakura got development, being shown as a close friend of Jin and fulfilling his promise to look out for his friend's daughter.

Or, at least for one episode...

I also want to write a fan fiction about Koichi scouting out all the members of Classes 77 and 78, but I want that teacher we saw in the flashback to be a sort of love interest, cause our boy Koichi deserves some love, but I don't know her name. I might make a poll to vote on what her name should be in my randomness book.

Anyway, character development. Ryota got a truckload and he's still ALIVE! Maybe he'll die, maybe he won't.

I'd like to point out, pretty much the entire fandom screamed "DON'T KILL RYOTA! KILL ANYONE BUT HIM!" Look what happened. Be careful what you wish for, because it seems like they killed EVERYONE except Ryota. My god, Kodaka, you fucking troll.

Anyway, Kyosuke is such a deep character, and we might find out even more in these last four episodes. He's so unique and deep and I hope that someone in NDRV3 in this much of a complex character.

And Chisa. Before she fell into despair, we all loved her, got to know her, got to see her smile, laugh, cry, get super horny from soup, and call everyone rotten oranges. Chisa is such an original character.

Speaking of Chisa in despair...

The person who made this said that they knew Juzo loved Kyosuke, but they drew Chisa anyway. Probably because Juzo was in a position of hopelessness and Chisa was in despair.

Either way, we all need to watch out for big boobs in Danganronpa. Chisa and Junko are dangerous.

Anyway, time to go over Chiaki's death!

I said that I would go over the parallels of her death. Well, her death completes the parallel of the despair sister deaths.

Chiaki's death in SDR2 is similar to Junko, where they both were crushed. Chiaki also ran down a hall in this execution, similar to how she walked down the long hallway with Chisa and/or walking through the dungeon maze thing to the goal.

Her death in the previous episode is similar to Mukuro's death, where they both were impaled with spears.

Speaking of which, Chiaki was impaled with 17 spears. 14 members of Class 77 (Not counting herself or the real Ryota), Chisa, Hajime, and herself. Maybe Izuru instead of Hajime and Ryota instead of herself, but you get the picture.

Also, MarissaMelody. She here is upset that Class 77 got to see the original trial room before the DR cast.

Well, that may not be the same trial room. It could just LOOK like it.

Cause Class 77 had to walk down a long hall to get to the red door and elevator room, while in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, the red door is right against the school. ALSO, the hallway they walked through is under the statue, not the old school building. So, unless Junko did some renovations, and the hallway happens to lead directly under the school, that's not the trial room. I think...

So, Future 11 comes out soon. Who's excited! I can't wait to find out who killed who! My bets are Juzo or Tengan for Chisa, Miayandroid/Monaca for Gozu, Sonosuke or Kyosuke for Seiko, and the mysterious 16th player for Ruruka. Any thoughts?

And the Jabberwock Island crew is coming. WHO'S HYPED AND HOPING FOR THEIR PRECIOUS WAIFU OR AWESOME HUSBANDO TO RETURN!?

Still praying we get the Impostor's real name, but that's unlikely.

Anyway, that's pretty much it. See you guys then!

This is Emerald-kun, signing out! Peace!
