Danganronpa F: Shattered Hope - Chapter 1, Episode 8 - Hell's Door Opens

[@drfshatteredhopestudios]

With that, this is the final episode of the batch. Thank you so much for the wait and we hope you enjoyed it. Like we've stated previously, we will be aiming to release the next batch to conclude the chapter, so that nothing is missed out, that means it may take a while to get everything together, so please be patient. Another thing we'd like to add is that if you can NOT post spoilers in the comments, we'd appreciate it, or at least spoiler tag it. Any spoilers mentioned, please give each other a nudge or we'll just remove the comment. Thanks so much! Finally, as always, please do not reupload our stuff. It's important we make sure that's said, as it's beginning to happen more frequently. We ask that people DO NOT: - Reupload the full episodes. - Reupload the executions. - Reupload the opening/credits. - Fan dub over the original. - Do not use our original music. Reaction, theories, etc videos are welcomed! If reuploading happens, we will look to take it down. We would really like to keep our work on our channel.

Very specific spoilers ahead! The orchestration of that body discovery announcement is a gem. I have no idea if it was the intention, but the camera panning from person to person, without showing their faces, was almost like a fake-out on who actually died. The back of Anon's head made me think that he was lying face down; the camera panning to Rock's torso then to Cross's face, who is looking in Rock's direction, made me think that Rock died, then immediately his face is shown and I get faked out again. I think the only time the main games did something similar is with Angie's discovery in V3, with the camera panning to the effigies, then to her body. You guys own this one. I also like that the discovery music was a twisted and damned version of one of the daily life themes. I'm a sucker for small details like these, honestly. Some top-notch voice acting on this episode as well. Stand-outs are that entire sequence with the drinking game, as well as Yaxi specifically right before the BDA. That "...Oh God" was visceral. And now y'all are gonna blue-ball us for, what, 3 or so months. It's been a while since I've been hyped for something, so I think this is gonna be good.

[@Greapes]

SPOILER! I think that one of the big twists of the series will be that they all had a part to play in starting the game. Corza designed it, given he is the Ultimate Game Designer. Scarlet designed the poison to be unique and complex, making it hard for herself to know its properties when she loses her memories. Rox maybe, as the Ultimate Journalist, made it known to the Ultimates to join the game? And also, her role may also be to be the one to start the killing game, by hanging herself. And other roles that may be revealed later on. Thank you for listening to my TED Talk.

[@marioluisgoycochea1387]

Very cool idea!!!!

[@owendy274]

Its sounds cool and it would be a great conclusion, but personally I dislike it when we find out there is more than one mastermind, that was one of my biggest gripes with VOID from Super Danganronpa Another, it just made the charecters seem unlikable, everything very scripted and just less fun. No hate to u or LINJU tho

[@sarkaztik3228]

@@owendy274 See, I'm totally the opposite on that spectrum. It makes for far better writing potential and is less predictable and on-the-rails that way. Another 2 was a different case, though. They purposely revealed a lot in the beginning and it's obvious it was going to be different than a normal Danganronpa story as it prioritized storytelling over the tropes you'd expect (not that it didn't have plenty of those tropes, they just weren't at the forefront). I didn't find Void to be unlikeable as they had really messed up lives and ended up that way due to their traumatic pasts. They weren't "just evil" for the sake of it and it made them potentially redeemable (hell, most of them didn't want to kill anyway). Danganronpa: Rebirth Voices was shaping up to have a great story with two masterminds before it was cancelled as well.

[@TonyRedgrave]

I am glad that someone else picked up on that fact that Scarlet might have been the one to make the poison. It's really interesting that the game has a tailor made poison and the Ultimate Toxicologist at the same time. This, combined with everything you just said, makes me wonder if this killing game is entirely self-inflicted.

[@Arthas30000]

Scarlet provides the poison, Rox is meant to kick-start the killing. Corza designs the game (ngl, Rule sounds a bit like him, though they have different VAs). Anon was literally a random dude they got. Rock and Cross contribute the funds. Pocket gets ppl to watch. Twin's voice acting is used in the creation of Rule & Monokuma. Grisp provides info on the location. Risi, Cancel, Enigma, Yaxi, Anon...Yeah, can't can't connect those 5 to anything 😆

[@arcminoproductions9496]

I love this series for how each character has something to love and hate about them!

Each character is treated with so much care!

SPOILERS Bruh, when I saw Rox flirting with Enigma, I jokingly said "She's totally dying", but I didn't expect it to ACTUALLY HAPPEN. Regarding to who hit Enigma, at first I thought it was Anon because they usually never notice him, but now that Rox died, I have a feeling that she was the one who hit Enigma. I can't really say why, it's just my gut feeling. Probably because she's the last character we see before everyone left the dining hall. As for Rock, he's really sus. Can't really say he's the culprit, but I do think he'll play a major role. He's the only one who found Enigma. Why? Why was he there? He didn't go back? Did he lie about something? Perhaps he saw Rox hitting Enigma. Perhaps that's why he's shocked seeing her hanging dead. Idk man. And it's really weird that Anon and Cross are looking at him in the final scene. Man, I can't wait for the next batch.

@@toastycafe I feel like Rox was dealt with similarly but in terms of more subtle sprite shifts, where as Anon just talks a lot less (perhaps his talent is being unnoticed). Rewatched the series recently and made sure to pay attention to Rox's Sprite count. For Rox it's more that she had more composed sprites and ones that had greater variance were used at the right moments like her gripping her arm when she spoke up against Cross, rather than her having less sprites. It's easy to misinterpret her # as "less" since she's not as dramatic as Pocket or Grisp, but I'm pretty sure it's not true.

(Some spoilers mentioned) I just found this project a day or two ago and didn't expect much from it at first, and I'm glad I was wrong. Usually, I anticipate poor writing and a cringey dynamic between a lot of characters when I check out a fanmade Danganronpa thing, but I binged this playlist and I have not been more invested in Dangan characters than with this cast. The voice work, art, and everything else is really well-made and it made me feel genuine glee, frustration, and sadness with a lot of these characters. Massive kudos to the whole team for this, this is EXCELLENT work on a fantastic project. To me, all these characters feel organic, and you do an amazing job of making us (or at least me) feel really invested in all of them. I look forward to seeing what this project has in store for the future, it's honestly astounding imo. I can't think of a particular Dangan moment that made me feel as happy as when Corza laughed at Rock's pun in the dining hall - seeing the typically stoic and calm character finally look like he's having a great time was just, well, perfect.

I’m probably forgetting a few but I’ll come back to this once I rewatch everything for this theory lol said very baseless and still-budding theory is that all the victims will die the same way their loved ones did. for example, Cross’ dad and Yaxi’s friend were shot, so if they end up being victims they’d be killed similarly. Rissi’s uncle(?) died of a heart attack, so she’d be killed by her heart stopping somehow. idk this idea just hit me, and there need to be more victims to provide further evidence, but it’s not impossible.

First off I just wanna say I think this was played off in an amazing manor. I like how you didn’t go right into the killing and gave free time events on the side to show not only what relationships these people can have, but also to help us feel more connected and understand them all better without making the victim obvious. That was an amazing play, especially since in most kgs once one certain scene happens, it becomes obvious who the victim is. However in this case, you played off multiple different scenes where it could have been multiple people (Rock, Corza, Cross, Anon, Moraiteru, and Rox were who I thought would end up dead. Mostly Rock and Cross) Making it an ‘actual’ mystery instead of ‘yeah, this persons gonna die look at all those flags’. Love it. Secondly, the art. My GOODNESS the art is SOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD! I give hearts to every artist, that goes for the cg, background, and sprite. Cause they’re all fabulous. And the voice actors. PLEASE. A wonderful cast and a wonderful group making the game. So many little references too, even to small games. I LOVE it. This fangan has honestly become so canon in my brain. It’s got tons of mysteries that have me begging for more and clinging to these characters. I can’t wait to see more bonding and see how the story progresses. Keep it up because Shattered Hope is the best! 🥺💖💖💕

[@RyeBreadFF]

SPOILERS Some predictions for trial 1! Rox would have had to die after the drinking game, which would’ve still been during the night. Before we go over anything else, we should first establish the *factors* at play here. 1. *A number of unspecified rooms are soundproof.* 2. *The girl’s bathroom can be listened in on from the Incinerator.* It is confirmed by Rule that the Dining Hall and Lounge also aren’t soundproof and can be listened in on. 3. *Grisp has a strong sense of smell.* This may allow him to smell the scent of wine on those who were drunk. 4. *Enigma, Rox, and Corza were (to some extent) drunk on the night of the murder.* Rock appeared to be sober, and both Rissi and Pocket did not ingest actual alcohol, but believed they were tipsy due to the “placebo effect”. 5. *Cancel was bedridden for an ambiguous amount of time.* Enigma, Rissi, and Pocket showed stronger symptoms of the motive poison as well. 6. *Rox spoke to Corza in private on the night of the murder.* 7. *Rox (and Corza) possessed additional information regarding the background of the killing game.* 8. *Corza was “punished” after the second Sacrifice Game.* What exactly the punishment entailed is unknown. 9. *Twin can perfectly replicate Rule’s voice.* This may naturally apply to other character as well. 10. *Enigma was knocked out on the night of the murder for an undisclosed amount of time.* The identity of the attacker and their reasoning is unknown; Enigma suspected Rock shortly after he came to. 11. *Anon, Rock, and Cross were the first participants to find the body.* This is somewhat obvious, but it is important to realize that these three did not go directly to the Dining Hall in the morning. 12. *The whereabouts of Cross in between the motive announcement and body discovery are unknown.* He seems to be avoiding the group after Rox called him out. 13. *The motive poison is unique, and linked to organ failure by Scarlet.* This detail is a bit extraneous, given that the antidote will now be passed around. Regardless, it’s important to note that this poison is unique, and may not actually be lethal (Rule’s word is questionable). 14. *Rox was found with bruises on her wrists and under her eyes.* This suggests that Rox got into a fight of some sort, meaning suicide is not a certainty. 15. *Rox’s hand were tied up, and she was also duct taped across her mouth.* Again, this suggests that Rox did not kill herself. 16. *Rox’s death mirrors that of her brother’s.* This may be a coincidence, but it also might be intentional on the part of the killer to mess with Enigma. With all of this in mind, let’s talk about possibilities! Firstly, the soundproof rooms in particular are quite important to this murder. Rox was found with duct tape over her mouth, which was placed almost surely to make sure the murder could be preformed undetected. This suggests that the murder was performed in a *non-soundproof room* as otherwise the duct tape would be relatively useless. It is also important to note Rox’s interactions with any potential killers up until this point. Her conversation with Corza may be indicative of possible collusion with him. Perhaps the two planned to kill someone? Maybe they planned to stage Rox’s death? What if they teamed up to knock out Enigma? It’s very much unclear, but it is a possibility, and may also be why Corza came with Rox to play the drinking game with Enigma. Cross is certainly an option, but it feels too obvious for him to be the killer, as the other participants will surely suspect him. Anon talked about killing but he is underdeveloped, and unlikely to die quite yet. Moraiteru and Yaxi are unstable, but once again, I find it unlikely for them to die quite yet. Rock may also be a potential killer, as he serves as a great way to put Enigma under more mental turmoil after the friend he trusted the most and later grew to distrust could end up being the murderer of his partner-in-crime. This leads into my next point... *Rock is my personal pick for Rox’s killer.* In addition to the potential impact this development would have on Enigma, it also ties into other factors of this case. The soundproof rooms will likely be a big part of this case, and this includes the girl’s bathroom as well. I’ve waxed poetically about this theory before but *what if someone were to overhear another important person to the case say “Rock’s” but mistake it for “Rox”.* The creators have stated that the codenames are important to the plot, and while I’m sure there’s another reason for this, I’m still quite certain this is part of that. The two have VERY similar codenames, and both characters are even placed next to each other in the intro (which may be intentionally aiming to remind of the viewer of this potential plot twist in the future???). Anyway, these are my takeaways from today’s chapter. I’d like to thank the Shattered Hope team for giving us this amazing project! Today’s chapter was my favorite to date, and this entire batch was superbly done! Excited to see the conclusion to this chapter!

[@giuliosimeone9389]

Wow that’s a lot of information! I understand your reasoning for Rock, but I just don’t see him killing and putting everyone else at risk, most importantly getting into a fight with someone and survive. I’ll probably go back to this comment in the future

[@RyeBreadFF]

@@giuliosimeone9389 Yea, my reasoning for Rock is a reach rn, I’m moreso thinking somebody else tried to kill Rox and he got involved???? Somehow???? Idk, we know too little about the timeframe Enigma was knocked out in.

[@cantthinksleepdeprived]

Personally I heavily expected Rock to die, but I honestly don't think he's the killer because of his story. I dont think he will die yet because in him i see two options: 1)he dies first with his backstory only partially revealed for an aspect of mystery and 2)he gets proper development and either survived or dies in the endgame. This scenario only leaves the latter option in my eyes. I genuinely don't think they could fit the rest of his backstory into a short post-trial segment and I don't see how that could coorelate with his hypothetical murder attempt(also i personally think the tears he shed were genuine). I can still the possibility though.

[@olimarverdant7582]

Rock is a possible suspect certainly. What do you think about Grisp being a major suspect also? He was aware of much of what various people were doing and could move around without drawing too much suspicion.

[@RyeBreadFF]

@@cantthinksleepdeprived I hadn’t thought about his backstory, that’s a very good point. It could be possible for Rock to partner with Enigma during the investigation and tell him then, but you’re right, there may not be enough proper time to flesh him out.

[@TheAussieJPLoco93]

Aw Rissi & Twin are so damn cute together! I think Rissi may be crushing on him, but Twin see's her more as the little sister he once had, either way they're so adorable together. Also drunk Rissi was just too much, just when I thought she couldn't get any cuter too, I loved her drunk recollection of Pocket's reaction to Monokuma, and the way she repeats it in her drunken state. Speaking of Pocket, this needs to be said; the voice actors for each character is fantastic... but Pocket's Voice Actor Josh Portillo... this dude is on a whole new level, he absolutely owns this role, the dude is clearly giving 500%, his delivery is perfection, I loved that one line where Pocket is expecting a girl to come to save him, and Enigma points out that no one's coming, and Pocket's response "What's that Enigma? Oh right. I can FUCKING see that!" bloody hilarious. Makes me wish every line was voiced just so I can hear more of Pocket, same goes for all the characters and Voice Actors. Back to Pocket for a minute, it seemed like they were hinting at Pocket getting a girlfriend, I'm REALLY hoping Pocket & Cancel become a thing, I feel like below Cancel's rough exterior, she has a soft spot, and is genuinely a nice person, and I think she does have a slight crush on Pocket, I definitely want to see Cancel lighten up regardless, it's always a delight seeing her tough exterior melt away to reveal the nicer girl that lies beneath. Okay my biggest question is not who the killer is, but instead who knocked Enigma out cold and why? I mean why bother knocking him out if you don't intend on killing him? My only theory is that whoever knocked Enigma out cold, originally did intend on killing him but had a change of heart and spared him, and I think it was Rox, only because I could imagine her intending to kill him, but due to her own feelings for him, was unable to go through with it, and whoever killed Rox, I believe it could have been someone who witnessed Rox knock out Enigma, but the question becomes... who could have witnessed Rox incapacitate Enigma? The way Cross was looking at Rock makes me think that Rock will be the prime suspect, I think he was the first to discover Rox's body, but I rarely does the prime suspect at the start of the trial end up being guilty, right now I'm suspicious of Anon, Cross, Corza, Yaxi & Moraiteru. Okay I think that covers just about everything, just remember everybody "Be kind to dentists... They have fillings too..."

I'll give you another theory Hell's door opens will be about the first murder occuring in which they find the body in the incinerator. I have a theory on a potential culprit and victim with thr victim being Moreiteru since she was freaking out and the killer being twin who killed moreiteru and used his skill as a voice actor and non sound proof walls to trick a witness (who is in another room or couldn't see the murder happen) leaving the area till they find the body and once the witness goes to get the others moving the body to the incinerator before they arrive.

*Deep breath* Spoilers. I’m not gonna spoil a ton as requested of the creators but I gotta talk about at least a little bit of it. Okay. Starting off with some lighthearted stuff. The drinking scene was freaking amazing. I loved that so much, Drunk Rissi was freaking adorable and just made me laugh, as well as everyone else. Great interaction. Rissi quoting and making fun of Pocket was so good. Slowly getting more information about each of the characters, which is nice, love me some good backstories. God damn Moraiteru continues to freak me the hell out. When she suddenly turns serious and the music just stops with no warning, damn. Well done. I wouldn’t have expected this type of motive, or for it to resolve something that seemed so mysterious at first. I thought it would have lasted longer. But the moment the mysterious element was gone...i knew. I’m not gonna say anything about the ending still, despite saying spoilers. I want to obey the rules set by the creators. All I will say on it...is that it was a great betrayal of expectations due to the roles some might have assumed of the characters. Also no theory talk from me this time, no spoilers. But I do have some cooking in my head. Current Best Girl: Still Rissi!!!!! Drunk Rissi made her tens times more cute and lovable on my opinion!

However, he had never planned to kill her in the process and, fearing what the others might think, he decided to tie her up and hang her. That would make sense because when Enigma woke up, Rock was there and there was no body since he had moved it. Plus, if I’m not wrong, Rock was the only one sober enough to realize that Enigma was in danger.

Speculation and Spoilers So Rox is dead. She was found with her hands tied behind her back, bruises on her arm (I do not remember it she had them before hand), gagged with what appears to be duct tape and hanged in room 1-B. She was last seen alive leaving the drinking party. Now lets state some facts. We can say that the drinking party began around 10PM because we can see that is already night time (Also I want to point out one inconsistency, night time is stated to begin at 10PM and end at 8AM on rule 7 in the prologue 36:19 but, we see the day time announcement at 7AM 38:44) in which Corza, Rox, Enigma, Rock and Rissi participated then Pocket joined. Rock served the drinks to everyone. Enigma was left alone after the drinking party ends. Rock found a collapsed Enigma. Enigma started questioning everyone he could find still in night time. Rox's body was found just after 7AM by Cross, Anon and Rock. Now my thoughts. I belive Rox was killed between 12AM and 3AM my points for this is the duration of the drinking party, which could have ended at around 12AM and I do not believe she was killed just before 7AM. I also think she was murdered while Enigma was unconscious and that the killer was the one who attacked Enigma or Rox attacked him. My three main suspects are Rock, Corza and Pocket in that order. Before explaining why let me first list the ones I think are cleared for this murder. Cancel: She was one of the most affected by the poison. Scarlet: Was taking care of everyone thus she doesn't have time to murder Rox. Moraiteru: Last time we see her, she went into her room, I don't think she came out of there because she was told about Enigma's attack on the dining room meeting alongside Cancel. Grisp: He went back to the dorms as Pocket stated during the drinking party. Rissi: She appeared to be "drunk" (more on that later) and she couldn't even talk properly. Cross: I think he stayed in his room, because of Pocket comment in the dining room meeting, no one backed him up of seeing Cross leaving during the night. The only ones who knew that Enigma was still in the dining room where Corza, Rox, Pocket, Rock and Rissi. Room 1-B is outside of the dining room on the right as shown in the map. The rooms are soundproof as stated by Rule with the exception of the Incinerator room and the girls restroom that we know. Now for my suspects: Rock: He was the one serving the drinks so he could have intentionally served Rissi alcohol to make Corza take her to her room after the drinking party, leaving Rox, Enigma and himself, but then Pocket appeared so he has to take care of him as well. After the party ends and making sure Pocket, Corza and Rissi where back in the dorms, he could have attacked Rox, tied her and leave her in room 1-B. Then went an knock out Enigma to stop him from roaming into room 1-B (he even says to Enigma to go back together), kill Rox and then go and wake up Enigma and making sure he doesn't enter room 1-B. Personally I found him as someone who can kill when cornered because of his atempt to steal the treasure in his backstory. Corza: He could be forced to kill Rox as his punishment for abstaining to participate in the sacrifice game. Silencing the one who knows something about Monokuma and silencing him after his execution for knowing Rule. His punishment could also be executed alongside or instead of the culprit. Pocket: He looks like someone who can crack easily under pressure and he knew about Enigma still being in the dining room which could be very inconvinient for the killer if Enigma happens to notice the murder after leaving the dinning room. As for Rox's murder, I think the killer either lure her into room 1-B, or attacked her on a similar way as Enigma, was tied up, questioned about what she knows (this is were the bruises come into play as marks of torture but I don't remember if its stated she had those before) about Monokuma, gagged up so the killer doesn't hear her scream and suffocate, and hanged. This taking quite some time makes me think the culprit attacked Enigma beforehand because he could be a potential witness if he is leaving the dining room during the murder. Enigma going to question everyone he sees makes me think he didn't stop to look into rooms 1-A and 1-B and instead went directly to the dorms where most would be. I would like to read your thoughts and theories on this.

@@capn8882 The only real motive for Pocket is to survive. For me, everyone who attended the party is a suspect because of the attack on Enigma and the body being close to the dining room.

The final episode from the first batch forever ago... what an experience. It certainly made me smile and dread, fear and laugh... you've done an excellent job creating a cast of individuals I care about, I'm happy to see them and sorry at what all they've been through. This is a little thing, but the music titles are all really nice as well. All We Have Is Snow and Time is probably my favorite, but they all have nice names, with many twisting the arctic setting in interesting ways.

[@NightmarePikachu]

Spoilers: I knew as soon as Enigma said his head wasn't hurting anymore that someone was dead. The one's I expected to be dead were Corza, Cross, or Rox so my prediction was correct. Even worse, when she talked about her brother being hanged, it was complete foreshadowing. Edit: Also, I've never been creeped out by the body discoveries in the main series DR games, but I found this one legitimately disturbing. The combination of the creepy music, Rox's body, and Engima's screams was very unsettling. Well done!

The most disturbing body discovery for me was from the third chapter of SDRA2, but this is still disturbing.

Thank you so much shattered hope studios! I love this fanronpa so much, the actors, characters, designs, game platorm, musics etc so much! I'm so glad this one is still on going. -Spoilers: . okay!! A lot of characters had major death flags and I'm so sad it was Rox who died first. It was coming tho. She already knew monokuma, was pretty much the closest girl to Enigma and already had a somewhat backstory played. >Her dying somewhat like her brothers makes me feel very uneasy. Did she tell the story to someone else? Was it confidential, not sure but I don't think so. She didn't commit suicide for sure due to her bruises, her being tied, taped etc. >The lighting was blue in the crime frame but was it paint on her arms?? Something was blue > Cross and Anon are looking at Rock, I know he's crying but maybe there's more to it. Was he the first one to find the body? Why didn't these 3 go directly to the cafeteria, what happened. Maybe he was talking to cross and Anon and explaining the Enigma situation but not sure. He 100% is involved with the crime tho, I don't think he's the culprit. The placebo effect is very weird and maybe he actually did give strong alcohol to Rissi. >Grips may help in this with his strong smell but bad taste >Tape? Was she killed in a non-soundproof room? >Rox has a private discussion with corza. I really don't want him to be the culprit tho since already one who knew a lot died and he really seems to be a sidekick to Enigma this time. I don't think it's him but I'd go for a man culprit. >Cancel is out of the question with her pain and lack of info; Scarlet seemed really busy I don't think she had time to plan anything; Rissi is out of the question for now; Yaxi and mora are weird but I don't get why would they have something against rox. >Twin and his voice replicating talent >Cross would look to obvious so no. He seemed scared but he wouldn't kill Rox when everyone already suspects him. He was in deep thinking too so I don't think it's him >Rock and pocket (and Rissi??) were sober right? >Okay but the party was wholesome. Their laugh made my heart go soft.

MAJOR SPOILERS! Bro I'm so sad. I mean I sort of predicted it. I was stuck between Corza being the first victim because he knows too much, Rock because he trusts others too much and finally the right prediction Rox because she questions others too much and was one of the most out there characters. Coincidentally these 3 are my favorites along with pocket so I was on edge this ep. I'm too sad to be proud of myself that one of my guesses were right😭 Edit:holy shit I just realized that her death was foreshadowed because of her story about her brother earlier. She shared that he hanged himself and now she's got hanged herself by someone. I'm crying

[@theartofeverything3889]

My opinion on the killer: I think it was either Moraiteru/Pocket, they are very unstable, and the current situation with the poison might have driven them completely over the edge. Moraiteru wasn't scared during the announcement, she was rather annoyed. My second guess is Rock, though I feel kind of bad for accusing him, he was so nice to everyone. But actually, this is exactly why! Every time Enigma felt bad or was in trouble, Rock was always nearby. It certainly is suspicious. And my third guess is Rox herself. She died the same way her brother did, but she didn't tell anyone but Enigma about it. It might have been a side effect of the poison that she wanted to kill herself, or she wanted to save everyone by committing a "murder". Can't wait to see the real answer!!! The series is amazing!!!

[@theartofeverything3889]

By the way, I like Rock and Twin! I always enjoy the company of such nice and easy-going people (I wish I could have these character traits). I also like Scarlet, she reminds me of my acquaintance. She looks like a mean beauty who only cares about herself, but she is actually very kind and will never do anything to hurt other people's feelings. If didn't know such person in real life, I would have never believed they may exist) Great work developing the characters!!!

[@shuichisemohat69]

I personally dont think Rox killed herself as her arms were tied and because of the bruising on her arm, which is evidence of struggle

[@DannyWhizzbang11803]

Spoiler alert!!!!!: That body discovery was absolutely terrifying, I wasn’t expecting rox to die this early, and rock’s scream made it all the more scary.

[@axxdude3657]

[@tnt1770]

VERY LONG SPECULATION ON WHO THE FIRST DEATH MIGHT BE DOWN BELLOW. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED I'm very confident that a body discovery is coming pretty soon. FTEs just happened, the party Rule planned is over, and quite a few things were mentioned that will most likely play a part in the murder (soundproof walls, someone could have gotten a knife from the courtroom, etc.). Perhaps the body will be found in the next episode (they didn't say how many episodes will be in this batch), or they could even find the body in the middle or beginning of the episode to make it more shocking, as you would expect it to be towards the end. With how many people are guessing different characters to die first, it's clear that they have done a good job at hiding who will die first, as multiple characters raised some red flags. Enigma is a maybe. Even if he was the first victim instead of the first killer, I still think it would feel a little too similar to Kaede. I can't exactly rule him out as the victim, but I'm pretty sure they're not going to make him the first killer. He has had some development with his mom in the flashbacks, but I also feel like he has a lot of potential to live longer, or at least most of the series. I don't think Cancel is dying first at all. There is way too much potential with her sassiness and interactions with the other members of the cast (Rock) for her to die this early. A lot of people are thinking Yaxi will be a killer because of when she said the Iron Maiden's Execution in her introduction. But what if, to subvert those expectations, she is executed for breaking a rule instead of being a killer? Either that or she's the very first killer when no one is expecting her to die. Either way, I think there's more to her role in the story than dying first. Grisp doesn't seem to be first case victim potential either. Not saying he'll die chapter 4, but I don't think he's dying right now. After last episode, I think Cross is going to have some character development later on. Maybe he'll be the killer for this chapter, but I don't think he's going to be the victim. Scarlet would be ironic, just because she told Enigma she was the mastermind. I do still think there's something more going on with her character, and I'm thinking that a guy will be the victim because they found two girls in episode 3. Moraiteru, ehhhh, not yet. She gives me Chapter 2 death vibes, honestly. If they aren't going to kill of one of the more mysterious characters first, Pocket would be very likely pick for the first victim. It would be so ironic not only to have the one most scared of dying to be killed first, but also to have the Ultimate Baseball Star be the first victim instead of the first killer. He also doesn't seem to have as much backstory as a lot of the other characters from what we've seen. Corza is a very likely first victim, but I've also been kind of doubting it as well. I know he's on the thumbnail, but so was Yaxi on episode 6 and she barely had much to do with that episode. He gives off a very mysterious "I know too much so I'm dying first vibe", but this series seems like it's going to try and subvert our expectations. Not feeling Rock too much as the first victim either. Maybe the killer, but not the first victim. Trust me, something (good or bad) is going to happen between him and Cancel later on. Rox is kind of mysterious like Corza as well, but I feel that they're going to build up her and Engima's relationship more before drastically dropping something big that will ruin Enigma x Rox for anyone who ships them. If she survives, I think Enigma will die at some point. Either way, I don't think she's the first victim. I'm not feeling Rissi for the first death either. I just don't see them killing off the youngest character first. Twin is a maybe. As a killer, someone could hear him trying to voice another character through the thin walls, but that might be just a bit too obvious if they come into play in the class trial. As a victim, he could be voicing another character before he died for whatever reason so his talent still comes into play without him being an obvious killer. Anon... I feel like he's going to have some development by maybe befriending a cast member only for them to die, or he survives the entire game specifically because he's not close to anybody. Don't think he's dying yet, if at all.

[@tnt1770]

Possibilities (in my opinion) on the first death- Likely: Pocket Corza Maybe: Enigma Cross Scarlet Rox Twin Less likely: Cancel Yaxi Grisp Moraiteru Rock Rissi Anon

[@tnt1770]

If I have to lock in one person as the first death... I'm going with Pocket. It would be nice for the mysterious character (Corza) to not die first for a change. He doesn't have as much backstory as a lot of the other characters, he would be a perfect first death just for the irony, and he's one that a lot of people wouldn't expect to die first. I said Corza would probably die last episode, but after thinking about it, I'm going with Pocket.
