Buddy got it right😢

Please don’t let it be Ace oh my god please no

FIRST GUESS: EDEN IS THE CULPRIT SECOND GUESS: ITS WHIT THE CULPRIT THIRD GUESS: ITS NICO OR HU, THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER Fourth suspect: J could be the killer because of what she said about the note in episode 10 at 1:11. Nobody told her that the note was in the trash and she was securing the body When the killer gets announced i Will come back at this comment

Dude your vids are good, Ic I notice you uploading more I’ll definitely sub.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the new chapters!

The fact that it's a whole year later and it turns out this is the exact opposite of what did happen in their conversation

the only thing I disagree with is I think the killer broke the starch jugs on purpose so no one would think they were used. I also really want to know how starch was involved here. and what the water was washing away if it wasn't the starch. it's not like Arei was covered in wounds and bleeding. maybe the culprit was?

watching this a year later and it technically hasn't been disproven yet. All we learned in the meantime is that David might be even more obsessed with Xander than Xander was with him.

this hits hard after chapter 2 part 12 came out

Omg this video is aged like wine

Hear me out. The 2 jugs were filled with starch, right? That made them heavy. And they're both broken at the handle in almost the same way. I propose both jugs were hooked by the handle to a bar or smth and used to make a makeshift weight like in the literary masterpiece "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and it got dropped on Arei's neck, killing her. Case closed. You can have Arturo disfigured now.

Not the 'almost christmas' argument XD (Srsly though, this theory stuck pretty well even with the new ep) SPOILER: I think that the water was used to cool down the body, making them think it was not a recent murder as they suggested in ep 12

I think it’s Hu

I want to hope Ace is the culprit ngl he's becoming an overdramatic

HI LIAM WAVES

Ooo great video! It’s been awhile since I’ve seen ch.2, but this theory checks out for me in making sense. Oh and for fun, I remember I wrote back awhile in a discord about who I think the killer is. So imma post it here if anyone wants to read it or have discussions about it before this Friday when the episode airs: “Now I need to think over this more and review some evidence. BUT someone mentioned in the comments that the starch ball Charles found formed because of the mist from the relaxation room. Also, who said they were in the laundry room? Levi. Not to mention while I was off track of keep thinking David was the killer(which my David bias definitely didn’t help), I was a bit confused on “Wait…I get Arei technically knew his secret and that’s why he would probably kill her for it, but it was Whit who had the secret and that Arei found out from by looking over. Wouldn’t he targeted Whit as he could’ve assume Arei was lying that she glance over and that maybe Whit shared the secret to her?” Then it hit me, the murderer would want to go after Arei because of her secret right? She had the “You are a murder and you hold no remorse”. And Levi had hers. Perhaps Levi wasn’t planning on killing her at first due to her not revealing his and him technically having hers as blackmail. *But she already revealed hers to David and Teruko* , this makes his blackmail pointless. So what does he do to hide his past he’s trying to change from? Murders Arei.” Ultimately I’m still going with this prediction and if your AM theory is true, then I can see a good route how Levi was able to do this.

Guys, remind me of one thing. Did Arei even receive the letter?

Subbing cuz ur theories r good and u always do my favs fanganronpa

I think the turpentine was used to knock out arei i dont have a full reason why but Arturo is wearing a mask so it wouldn't have been a problem for him with the turpentine making him pass out

u/Difficult-Parfait627 had a really interesting theory on the fanganronpa subreddit, so I thought I should share it here to see what you all thought. I just changed the formatting. J. Here’s why: one, I think the killer is someone with a supposed alibi. I think the killer made the note to give themselves an alibi, and made everyone think the murder happened at 7 PM (more proof is the fish. If the killer got the fish and placed them there, it’d make people think the crime was committed at 7 PM. But the killer could’ve gotten them earlier and just placed them there at 7 AM the next day. I don’t know any other reason as to why the fish would be there, because even if Arei was drowned or something, the fish wouldn’t stick to her.) that doesn’t single out J, but that does put her on the suspect list. Second point: how I think the murder happened. I think the killer tied the rope from the ceiling, then tied the rope around Arei’s neck while was on the merry-go round, and spun it to spin her up, then tied her legs to it to make it go back down. That way, from the fall from the ceiling, would break her neck. The cast established that the swingset woudlnt be tall enough to break her neck. What’s taller than the swingset? Well; the ceiling. More proof is that the ceiling was messed up a bit. Cool story, right? But you’re probably wondering how that implicates J. Well, J is an effects artist, and has experience setting up stage plays likely. A lot of work in those is to do with tying things to the top of the stage, and maneuvering them with ropes and other such tools. Similar to what I said, right? Point number three, the lights. What’s J’s custom weapon again? Point number 4; the fact that J could’ve easily overheard the convo between Eden and Arturo. Think about it. Eden clearly didn’t write him a note, so she had to go up to him in person. Arturo was stalking J. Meaning Eden would’ve had to of gone up to Arturo while J was right there. So she’d know when and where they were meeting. Also, she’s let slip about the fact that she knows he has a sister. The note mentioned his sister. So it’s incredibly likely that J couldve used that knowledge to lure out Arei. J was in the best position to overhear Arturo and Eden talk. No one would’ve been with her, and she heard them talk about meeting up. Point number 5: the tape. Now, let’s discuss the tape. The tape disappeared from the gym AS SOON as Ace bolted up, not a moment sooner, not a moment later. Once Ace was up, even before Eden tried to get up, it was already out of the gym, no where to be seen. I think Ace likely kicked it out of the gym. The door was already open, so it’s not impossible. And he was directly in front of the door. Now, recall: who was the first to go to the gym in the morning? J. Meaning J had a prime opportunity to get the tape. Even if she didn’t get it then. It’s still suspicious that she was trying to get into the gym, you know, the place where the tape was, and you know, a key part of the crime. Point number 6: Arei’s missing glove. Now, if you payed close attention, Arei’s glove wasn’t on her hand. Meaning the killer likely took it for some reason. And why else would you take a glove than to wear it yourself? Now, there’s two criteria you’d need to meet for this to be suspicious. One, you’d need to be similar in size to Arei. Two, you would have to lack gloves. Arei and J are the same height, similar weight, and J lacks gloves. So now you’re wondering, even if J took the glove, where would it be? Well recall where J said she’d look when trying to find Arei. Arei’s room. J could’ve simply hidden Arei’s glove in her room. And now, point number 7: a very suspicious comment J made. In ep.10, near the beginning, J says something along the lines up “The note you tore up and threw in the trash”. Not very suspicious, right? Wrong. No one ever mentioned the note being thrown in the trash. Teruko only said “the note I tasked you to reconstruct.” Maybe J just saw Rose tip over the trash can? Wrong. J was on guard duty, she couldn’t have left the crime scene and seen Rose tip over the trash can. Of course, there’s some plausible deniability, but I think this is a very strange comment. All the evidence lines up against J. Now, her motive you’re probably wondering. Her secret was already revealed, so why would she kill? Well, recall in chapter 1, where the motive had no part in the killing. MonoTV is rather incompetent, the series makes you know that. So I have a theory that the running theme of this series is that the motives will factor in very little into the killings. Cool, but what would J’s motive be then? Well, it seems like she’s having to relive a life she wanted to get away from. All eyes are on her, marveling, and downplaying the hell she’s went through and tried so desperately to escape from. So, what’s her only escape from it again? Murder. You’re probably asking then why not just kill Arturo? Well killing Arturo would be suicide, she’d be the most obvious suspect. Plus, killing Arei allows her to frame two people off the bat, Eden and Arturo. Killing Arei is simply the most logical thing to do, a win-win. I hope I’ve detailed why I think J is rather suspicious, and maybe even convinced you.

I think that whit talked to david about his secret when he recieved the motive. That way he couldve lied since whit was covering for him

I think is a valid point of view Maybe David has depression and feels like he has “no justification”, no reason to be depressed. Being that the reason he hides this condition Tho… I feel like is weird how the “bad person” act is going to be better than confessing the depression

I am CONVINCED Ace did it

I think he is manipulative and sees others in a manipulative way however I think his evil persona is just a front to make things less painful… much like his nice guy persona

I feel like the jugs were used as weights for the rope. Not only were the jugs broken but both jugs were broken by the handle meaning something was tied around them, the weight of the jugs filled with fish and water were hanging by the rope until the weight caused them to break and spill all over the floor. Maybe Arei was tied to the rope and bound. The jugs breaking might have been intentional and acted like a time. With no weight on the rope then Arei would get dragged up and he neck would break from the impact of hitting the swings. The extra time you mentioned would be for the killer to remove the tape from Arei’s wrists and dump the broke jugs and extra rope.

My money is on Levi

Also, Arei’s glove is missing.

11:41 I think it goes a bit further than that. I think Ace is not telling the truth because he is actually the one who murdered Arei.

Interesting answers, but of course, it leads to more questions. What purpose was there to use starch. Who was not accounted for in the morning

banger video

PEAK

WE'RE SO BACK AGAIN

I rally think that him trying to manufacture a murder atmosphere is a lie. The students were blaming David for the situation, but the only thing he could really be blamed for is Arturo's attempt on Eden. Every other event had next to nothing to do with David. David had no control over Ace being a dick and antagonizing Nico, and Arturo revealed J's secret before David had the idea. While it is possible that David manipulated Hu into aiding Nico, it is also possible that the Students are blaming their own misgivings on David, and he decided to play the bad guy. David does often say, "Is that what you wanted to hear?", or "Does hearing that make you happy?" It's also worth noting that the 2nd chapter motive is a doctered version of V3's motive, where everone's motive was swapped. The original plan was to not swap motives, but Ryoma decides against it, as does Kokichi, someone who acts like a villain.

Great video. Very curious as to who your suspects are in regards to the killer. I think you're definitely on to something about the juice and alcohol mix-up. I admit I didn't suspect Pocket as much as I should have. He, Yaxi, and Grisp seem to be the most athletic ones in the group so any of them would probably be able to knock someone out bare-handed. And you're also probably right about the long rope and Yaxi probably just left it there. But that would imply the murder method was not planned considerably in advance. Interesting.

Never thought you'd upload again

Why were you inactive for almost a year???

If what you say about Pocket is true, then I genuinely feel bad for laughing at poor Rissi...

Yaxi is so suspicious she's obviously a red herring

wow this genuinely explains a lot!

nice theory

saw the notif and instantly recognized it was you! love your analysis and theories dude

David dragging Arei to go drown her: “Oh hi Ace” *continues like nothing happened*

something i noticed at around the end of the episode is that he said they should start voting soon because hes running out of rude things to say, likely being because of what you said about him believing that he is the bad person he thinks he is, but also because hes coming up with these things to say so that they vote him and all get executed so that no one finds out about his depression

3:26 THANK YOU SOMEONE ELSE WHO BROUGHT THIS UP!! i’ve always believed that he originally thought his secret was about depression, but he partially lied when confessing it / explicitly omitting the fact that he’s been suffering from depression to save his reputation + make him seem more stable than he actually is so i’m glad someone else was thinking the same thing another fun thing: someone else pointed this out, but david’s eyes in his sprites when he’s “out of his persona” vs when he “confesses”during chapter 2 pt 2 look radically different; usually, it’s just solid grey, but when david did the total heel turn you clearly see a black gradient from the top of the iris. somewhat of an indication that he’s going over the top with this new “evil persona”

really interesting video, everything you said is definetly a possibility. I do think that David thought that his secret was something different, dealing with his depression. Him finding out that his secret was worded like that probably made him snap, because it just adds to how he thinks himself to "survive" so it is projecting the worst of what he thinks of himself. It lowers his perception of himself even more. I don't think he is entirely evil. I think he genuinely connected with Arei. And yeah the fact that Ace might have lied makes sense. All this is making me think Ace might have did it, like yeah he could have lied just because he is a jerk lmao but its still really suspicious because hes making it look like David did it without that information if what you said about David confessing his true feelings to Arei is true. I think Arei not accepting him is very possible. His behavior really shows that possibility. And I definitely think davids words are a projection of himself, he has a very low opinion on himself so it is very possible he would think of things like that. And Arei definetly would have it in her to say something like that to David. The rope idea is really terrible but very possible. David would hide his attempt from the class. Oh and when Charles said at the end of the last episode that him and teruko messed up, I think thats referring to when they sent David to the relaxation room, because that caused him to encounter Arei and have that conversation, or something to do with the hole in the wall in the computer room, I think that will be a big part in the case.

My brain before this maybe david actualy has depression

Hope that the creator is doing fine with their healt and is currently working on Ch2P2 👍

Cool vid

i never really considered how David couldn't totally lie about his secret because he knew one of his classmates knew what it really was, that's an interesting thing that you brought up. i have always assumed that David had depression, but him knowing that he does, and possibly hoping that that is his secret due to the possibility of the alternative, would explain his confidence is saying what he did. i do think you're being a bit too optimistic about him, though, while i dont think you're wrong i do think he's a more morally grey and troubled person than you make him out to be.

Finally! Someone who gets it. David's secret is that he is a liar. Why are people taking his comments at face value? I don't he intended any malicious.
