Nagito before the four chapter trial , paraphased: "There is one novel I like... a peculiar mystery story.... The story is told from the point of view of a high school girl involved in a serial killer mystery. But when you get to the end.... Surprise, Surprise! It turns out the girl was the Killer! Of course, the story is written carefully so the reader doesn't learn the ending in the middle of the story.... The protagonist is just a projection of the Reader.... And the Reader turn out to be the Killer. Which means the Killer you were looking for was inside of you all along.. How do you feel about Novels like that? "

He was talking about Danganronpa Zero.

People die if they are killed

[@cblazerc]

Actually, if you look closely at the tiles behind Nagito in the intro, you can see that the writing on them is similar to that in the final death room, which has similarly tiled walls, so I think it's actually a reference to that part of the game, not his death.

[@ekndraws4669]

There's one more thing too; when Hajime wents to the movie theatre,We see a ultra despair girls poster.That's totally a spoiler for udg's coming.

[@RealHajimeHinata]

That same poster is in Chiaki’s cottage lol.

[@ethyl_alcohol774]

There's also a UDG poster in DRV3 found at the back of the game room. So.... Another game might come out????

[@dustyfedora]

My favorite bit is when Nagito just lays out his whole plan in Chapter 5 If the traitor isn’t revealed a bomb will go off and destroy the island Traitor = Chiaki Bomb = Poisoned Fire Grenade Destruction of the Island = Monokuma executing of all remaining students if they don’t find the culprit Another fun detail about this is that the time Nagito says the bomb will go off is the same as his ToD shown in the Monokuma File

[@michaellatner975]

Never thought of it that way, very nice, thank you for the new perspective on that very sad case.

[@mariamrashid9582]

Idk why but if you think hard about it it's actually nagitos luck that saves all of them well not 100% imagine if he didn't plan this much the traitor is not gonna reveal themselves since they cannot act differently..... Even chiyaki was revealed as a traitor she tells every that nagito was forced to this cuz she understands him why did he kill himself...it's sad everyone always says chiyaki sacrifices herself to the students that actually hides nagito efforts for everyone sure his ways wasn't right but in the end everything turns out finds cuz he knew that hope will win in the end

[@igorlopes8463]

While it was foreshadowing, the talk about serial killers in the library makes is what made Peko disguise as Sparkling Justice. She knew it would be hard to come up with a motive to kill without having her relation with Fuyuhiko revealed, so pretending to be the serial killer that kills criminals was a good cover up, so we can't say it was ironic that she pretended to be one.

[@GrindyVine]

And it was clear that it is too ridiculous to be true We had a bait and switch characters but peko? Something felt off about that

[@pizza_36]

At the start of the game Nagito asked Usami "are we going to kill each other"

[@GachaLifeGirl]

Chapter 3 is named “Trapped by the Ocean’s Scent,” which is a song on the soundtrack. This links to Ibuki and Hiyoko being the victims of this chapter.

[@tokatstorm9270]

Possibly doesn't count as foreshadowing, but in the first case, Kazuichi claims that Peko knocked the lights out using the circuit breaker. Hajime counters by claiming it would be too high up for her to reach, but Kazuichi doubles down, stubbornly insisting on more proof for Peko's innocence, even though he doesn't have an argument. Except he DOES have an argument, as Peko would go on to commit her murder in chapter 2 by using her sword hilt to reach a high place, something she technically could've done in chapter 1 as well if she hadn't been incapacitated. Also related to Peko, her relationship with Fuyuhiko is hinted at prior to the big reveal. Any time Fuyuhiko needs to be told anything, Peko is always the one who volunteers to speak with him.

[@DivineDricky]

2:19 Teruteru also smiles in the intro 💀

[@boktordevries432]

[@Elis0611]

[@kekeandtofo]

I feel like something else that foreshadows Chiaki being an Ai is that she is the Ultimate Gamer, and the cast is in a virtual world. This probably sounds dumb, but I just thought I'd put this here 😅

[@toumabyakuya]

Actually, it does fit. After all, she's supposed to be just a gamer girl, yet she's one of the smartest characters in this cast, helping a ton in every trial. That is because she's trying to beat Danganronpa, the game.

[@kekeandtofo]

@toumabyakuya that makes a lot of sense! I also forgot that she is smart despite her being a sleepy, gamer girl. That also foreshadows her being an Ai.

[@mastamasta5921]

​@@toumabyakuyatbh this feels like u underestimate gamers, especially competitive gamers (which Chiaki is). They have very intensive knowledge of games and many of them need very good analytical skills (e.g. competitive fighting games). Some other gamers also have really good programming skills to discover newer and better ways to excel at games (e.g. TASers for speedrunning)

I think it was something along the lines of, "this is one of those mystery novels where the protagonist detective is the murderer all along". I remember that line and was rather dissapointed that it wasn't referenced again at the end of V3 Chapter 1 because it was definitely said in DR2.

Chiaki also claims during one of the free time events that she was raised by her "dad" alone but that both her and her "dad" were bad at dating sims

[@serSafir]

One you missed, the method of execution used on Nagito was almost every murder method used in the first. To top it off, his name is an anagram of makoto, intentionally made by the developers to mislead people into thinking he was a dark version of him. The spear of gungnir that killed mukuro, Sakura was poisoned and in a locked room, Chihiro was tied up, Sayaka was stabbed

[@Rayla11037]

Well, the actual game that chiaki can't beat are dating sims, but still an interesting foreshadow

[@sunnecas]

Izuru's eyes are not that pattern Chiaki's background is a recreation of the first videogame, Pong The Twogami one is a stretch, he looks confident because we assume that it's Togami's 2nd killing game Nekomaru is one kinda untrue. It wasn't a bazooka, it was some sort of energy beam, so he wouldn’t get blown off The chapter 5 name and the anime counterpart name aren't foreshadowing man, it's a callback (and if you watching the anime after the game you already know the story) That is not Chiaki being assembled

[@Walouisgi]

Great video as always but I'm pretty sure when Chiaki says she has one genre of video games she's bad with, it's answered in her free time events and it's actually dating sims and not Tetris. The wiki also says so

[@Zack_Zander]

4:51 Ah yes, the height, definitely not the weight

[@CashoutRenny224]

Right before the 4th trial before they go on the elevator, Nagito tells hajime there’s a story of a high school girl who is trying to figure out a murder and the plot twist is that she is the murderer. Referencing Kaede

[@雷電忘川守芽衣]

I think he's referring to chiaki since she doesn't know she accidentally killed nagito, Kaede already thinks that she's the murderer in v3 but she doesn't know she failed to kill rantaro and the mastermind is the one who actually murdered him.

[@skaryzgik]

He's obviously referencing Hajime having uploaded Monokuma into the simulation in the first place

[@Nagito_Komaeda]

No, it's not a reference to Kaede. It's a reference to Hajime being Izuru *and* probably to the light novel "Danganronpa/Zero". Interestingly, there's also a segment of chapter 6 that was called "chapter 0".

[@Nagito_Komaeda]

Another thing about Izuru was hidden in Nagito's first FTE: "I'm positive your talent is brimming with hope". The second thing in the same FTE is not exactly a foreshadowing but Nagito jokes about Hajime's hair saying it's "tsuntsun" what is a reference to his personality and in chapter 3 Monokuma directly calls Hajime "tsundere". Some other things linked to Nagito: Prologue: if you play an optional interaction with Nagito, Hajime says: "seriously, how this guy can be so calm? Did he suffer any trauma?" (it's not an exact quote) - in one of his FTEs it's confirmed Nagito survived an airplane accident and was kidnapped. In chapter 3 Hajime during one of the visits says "(Nagito) is sleeping like the dead… No, I shouldn't be thinking this way!" and in chapter 4 when Nagito tells Hajime about loading 5 bullets, Hajime is frightened about the risk of him dying. Nagito dies in chapter 5 and Hajime refuses to believe in it when he sees his dead body. The most interesting thing that during the despair disease the person Hajime was worrying about the most was Nagito. Literally the whole chapter was about Hajime being worried about Nagito's health to then be informed by Nagito about his illnesses. Talking about Nagito's screen in the intro. The text behind him says: "where are you? I'll find you. R.I.P" - it's an obvious foreshadowing to him trying to reveal the traitor.

[@deepnestt]

Gundam being the second luckiest in chapter 4 rock-paper-scissors game could be foreshadowing him being the culprit, since we know the culprit completed final death room, which contains russian roulette (a luck based game)

[@Niko-qq2vr]

The thumbnail clearly shows that Your Favorite NPC reads a site of an certain AU of goodbye despair that changes protags, that I also read and love ❤

[@mimie3014]

also another one that i found interesting, in chapter 2, when Nagito shows Hajime the picture of everyone’s shoe size, only 3 names are shown “Hiyoko, Hajime, Peko” maybe foreshadowing that Peko is the killer for chapter 2!

I can't tell whether this entire video is satire, or simply really, really bad.

[@Meepminer]

It could be satire based on the "MINDBLOWING" in quotes in the title. I feel like all the videos I see from this guy are pretty bad, he gets a lot of details completely wrong. I'll skim through and see what I can find in this one. 0:24 The icon in the background does *not* have the exact same shape as Izuru's eyes. 0:42 That is not the same background, and that is not a game Chiaki could never beat, I'm not sure what that means. 1:06 The pentagram is *not* the one Gundham used during the execution, not even close. 1:50 These are not the same tiles. 4:00 Not true, Hajime is also looking directly to the viewer. 7:33 Monokuma did not kill Nekomaru. 9:32 She doesn't even say "there's one game she could have never beaten," she says there's a *type* of game she's not good at, which are Dating sims, not Tetris. 10:30 That is not Chiaki being assembled. In fact, all we know is she's an AI confined to the Neo World Program. That doesn't necessarily mean she is machine on the inside. 10:38 This is not a foreshadow, and *definitely* not a reference to V3 for obvious reasons.

[@asteria7419]

​@@Meepminer Yo, thank you very much, that's pretty extensive. I basically thought the same while watching the video. I also don't believe it is supposed to be satire. I haven't seen too many videos from this channel, but as you have already mentioned, the ones I did see were pretty bad as well. Also, I'm pretty sure the ""MINDBLOWING"" in the title was not in quotation marks when I first watched it. I don't think I would overlook such a detail when trying to figure out whether this video is a joke or not. So he maybe changed the title after the fact to maybe make it look like this is not meant seriously? Regardless, I'm probably not gonna watch any more videos from this channel.

[@Nagito_Komaeda]

DR3 wasn't written by Kodaka and I agree it was a bad decision to bring her back. It created one of many plot holes. They could basically use the most obvious way and simply make Hajime and Nagito being friends in real life - it could nicely explain why Nagito was so interested in Hajime since the beginning of the game. I see it as Nagito trying to help Hajime accept himself as an average guy - it works in the beginning (good luck) but then Hajime gets the letter and goes missing (bad luck).
