[@WolfPhoenix0]

Chill everyone. They're not going to reveal the Chapter 1 victim so easily. Also, here's a list of the most interesting moments I found: 1. The bloody knife at 2:08 (which is obviously the death reveal) 2. Cassidy holding Damon at 0:29 (who looks like he may have been attacked) 3. Someone in a suit and tie at 0:30 holding what looks like an arrow. 4. The letters that look like they're addressed from Damon My guess is someone sent those letters to various folks posing as Damon and took out one of the members who showed up at the designated place/time in order to frame Damon. The case will be about clearing Damon's name and figuring out who set him up.

[@identipathy]

The knife is from Cara, unless you think it symbolizes something

[@thravoycohen6066]

For some reason, a part of me after seeing the Cassidy thing with Damon makes me think that might be a very small peak at the closing argument just from how the art looks

Are we as a collective human species ready for the first chapter of Eden’s Garden? CAN we as a species even prepare for such a important event? Now, is it fear of the unknown and what might happen, or is it excitement that compels my hype for the exact same reasons? I’m beyond ecstatic to see what is to come, there really isn’t anything that can truly, definitively capture THE Danganronpa experience besides the games and fan projects inspired by it and after playing through all official and some great fan games already, there still rests a hunger and longing to witness another Danganronpa killing game, Eden’s Garden proved to be my most anticipated Danganronpa games let alone one of my most anticipated games period. The prologue alone hooked my like a fish to a rod with a big worm, sure, the wait may have been a bit long but considering what’s in store game play wise and graphically, and that this is a fan project, and most fanganronpa take wayyyy longer than this (not to hate on other ones), I’m 100% cool with that, my hype still burns for this, and I think that speaks volumes about how good a Project this is. I could keep going, but there probably ain’t enough words in dictionary to describe my true hype for this, The graphics, the music, the voice acting, the characters, the sprites for the characters, the sound effects and audio, the symbolism and of corse the story. My greatest complements to the team for putting in so much great work and getting this out in a pretty short time considering everything, AND for free?! This may very well be the my favorite Danganronpa experience as it stands, and if the prologue and teasers are anything to go by, it’s only gonna get bigger and better from here! But considering that this is a killing game, I’m a bit worried cause it’s boutta get bad!

[@vyx_the_grole]

I think toshiko not being present is just a red herring. There are probably fake trial scenes used just in this trailer. Also the chapter poster has damon,cassidy,jett and the chameleon symbol which represents diana. So i suppose they are the main protagonists of the chapter, whether it be victims,culprits or important to solve the case. Or maybe cassidy and jett are just put there randomly for red herring purposes. But i believe diana is going to get involved somehow

[@datnastysalad5616]

My surface-level predictions about the chapter: - Someone's cause of death is poison related -- the pharmacy is one of the more prominent areas that they showed here. - Someone attempts to frame Damon via a fake letter -- we see a glimpse of a letter that says "meet me at **** at 8:10pm , Damon Maitsu". This isn't the only letter we see in the trial, but I think this is different than the others. - The students realize that this place is made specifically for them -- Damon's room had a carved golden nameplate -- something that isn't exactly quick to make. Whoever has made the game, made it for these students specifically - Toshiko is NOT the victim -- the devs are too detail-oriented to just throw the fact that we don't see her in the reveal trailer to kill her. If anything, we might see behind her fan and see her face. I think it's more likely that she isn't a key player yet and is just a red herring, especially as she's been predicted to be the first death by fans for a while now. - If I had to pick who will be a large part of the chapter, by bet's on Jett and Cassidy. He quite literally wears a form of a veil (ala the chapter name) and she rallies behind Damon in one of the splash glimpses. They're also the two featured in the promo art at the end, which may honestly be a red herring. I think that Damon's gonna get caught in between a conflict between the two of them. But honestly, I don't think they'll be victims/killers, but rather used as a literary device to represent conflict (or its resolution...?) in the group. Added note: Cassidy opens the chapter as we've seen in the preview. No matter what, she'll at least get a worrying amount of screen time. - My personal list of people who I think will live are Damon, Toshiko, Jett, and Cassidy. I'm personally also thinking that Wolfgang, Grace, Jean, and Eva won't be leaving us yet (maybe a killer, but FOR SURE making it to trial wink wink) - So who's leaving the cast?? I'm gonna go crazy with an out of nowhere guess, but I think Mark (to my own dismay, as they're some of my faves). I'm guessing Mark because there's literally two frames of a recording microphone, and I feel like it'll be from an important CG in the chapter that the devs cut so small intentionally. Maybe some recording incriminates someone idk. I really don't wanna see anyone go so I can't pick a second LMFAO Edit: HOLY CRAP WHAT IS DIANA'S ROLE HERE I JUST NOTICED THE CAMELEON IN THE FINAL SPLASH

Theory on who the first victim is. There's only one person who hasn't appeared in even a second of this trailer (I know she appears, but i have my explantion ok), that person is non other than Toshiko Kayura. Which makes me believe that the first victim of this game is going to be Toshiko. Noticed in 1:12 of the video that only Toshiko, if i'm not mistaken, is the only one using an already used sprite. But not only that, because i'm certain that almost everyone is shown in the class trial portion of the trailer. Damon Maitsu - 1:53 Cassidy Amber - 1:51 Desmond Hall - 1:43 Diana Venicia - 1:43 Eloise Taulner - 1:51 Eva Tsunaka - 2:00 Grace Madison - 1:47 Ingrid Grimwall - 1:48 Jean DeLamer - 1:56 Jett Dawson - 2:01 Kai Monteago - 1:47 Mark "Mayhem" Berskii - 1:43 Ulysses Wilhelm - 1:51 (far left) Wenona - 1:53 Wolfgang Akire - 1:51 The girl from 2:08 is obviously not Toshiko, i believe that that's Cara Koskinen the Ultimate Teacher's Aid. Because notice the similarly placed, or not placed, bucket in the background. Also Toshiko wear a traditional Japanese wear so if that was Toshiko's body, i think we would see her signature red fit. Also sadly, i don't have a theory on who the first culprit is. But if i have to guess then i'll probably gonna say Grace because while yes, i like Grace and she's literally my favorite character. I do think that she's probably one of the people who are getting called out by the Chapter 1 name, Beneath the Veil of Hypocrisy. Also the reason why i would most likely pick her as the possible culprit is because this will also Unveil the Hypocrisy of Wolfgang Akire, because if you guys remember, Akire trust Grace a lot. I mean throughout the prologue Akire and Grace was essentially glued to each other. So i believe that because they have such a close bond, i think Grace will break that bond by killing Toshiko and breaking that Veil that's covering the hypocrisy of Akire, which is what he"s saying that "Ultimates will not commit murder".

[@paperbag8790]

Well made analysis but counterpoint; For all we know, the trailer could be misleading us into believing that.

[@Zodia195]

@@paperbag8790 Yeah for sure. A good trailer knows how to be misleading if you ask me. Perfect example was when the first DR game came out, Sayaka was promoted A LOT. You thought she was a main char. It's the Psycho thing all over again. For all we know Toshiko might be a char that lasts awhile.

[@ВалерийДавыдкин-д4э]

Допустим, интересно звучит, но я не совсем согласен. Ещё во времена пролога я был склонен согласится с некоторыми замеченными мной тогда фанатскими теориями о том, что первой будет убита Ева. Тогда же появились предположения, о том что убийцей станет дебатёр, но я скорее замеченный в комментариях к этому видео теории, а том что он умрёт где-то в финале, если вообще умрёт. Предположу, что виновником будет кто-то из максимально безобидных персонажей, например Элоиза

[@zuaruki_0]

​@@paperbag8790SPOILER WARNING!! Slight spoilers for Danganronpa V3 and the prologue of Project Eden's Garden. After thinking about it for almost a day now, i can promptly say that your theory is also pretty valid. But i also have another theory as to why they didn't show Toshiko in the trial portion of the trailer. Firstly, we can safely assume that the people with the dialogue in the trial portion of the trailer is completely going to live, at least before the culprit gets found out. So we can say that Damon, Akire, Grace, Diana, Wenona, Jean, and Eva are guaranteed to be at least not the victim of Chapter 1. And the reason why i say this is because i think that's it'll be pretty hard for the Eden's Garden developers to fabricate such dialogue just for the trailer. Also if they did did it tho then I applause to them because they had such massive balls do that just so they can hide who the first victim is (Also a little side note/Spoilers for Danganronpa V3, If they did do this then it'll bring back major Danganronpa V3 flashback when they advertised Kaede as the protaganist, only to kill her off in the first chapter.) Anyways going back to my theory, I think that Damon, Akire, Grace, Diana, Wenona, Jean, and Eva are guaranteed to be at least not the victim of Chapter 1. So that just leaves us with Cassidy, Desmond, Eloise, Ingrid, Jett, Kai, Mark, Ulysses and of course, Toshiko. Now if we're going with my theory that everyone who was shown in the trial portion of trailer are not the first victim, then the only other person who could be the first victim is Toshiko. Not only is she the most youngest in the whole cast, but she's also the most smallest and easily killable in the first chapter. So it's safe to assume that she's the perfect candidate to be the first victim. But if we are going for the "Eden's Garden has big balls" route, which is also a very understandable take since i was also think about it for almost 20 hours now. I think the only other person that i can see being the first victim is Ulysses. Now let me explain, i know that that was just a huge statement to say, and trust me, it is. But the thing that makes me think that Ulysses is the only other person that i think would be the first victim, is because of his description. If you look at the character introduction that the Project Eden's Garden official account posted on X/Twitter, then you will remember that he had a specific trait that was called out in his description, and that trait was that he records every interaction that he has for future reviewing. And if were gonna assume that the murder is gonna happen in a 3 day span, then it wouldn't even be shocking to find out that the culprit found out about this trait of Ulysses and decided to kill him off in the lights that he might be a threat in the class trial. Also just going off of the remaining people in the cast, i think he's the only other person, besides Toshiko, to be a bit on the "weaker" side of the spectrum. I mean going back to his character introduction posted by the official Project Eden's Garden account that he works himself to the point of exhaustion. So i would even be surprised if the culprit used this fact to their advantage. Of course you could also say that "there are other characters who are on the weaker side of the spectrum" and while yes that is "true", we can most likely put many people in that category like Kai and Mark, but you can't admit that if we put them side by side that the culprit wouldn't decide to kill either Toshiko or Ulysses. Now why didn't i choose either Kai or Mark as the possible victim? Well it's because of their personality. I mean Kai is a very loud kid and i wouldn't even be surprised if the killer was too "intimidated" of Kai, not like he's intimidating. But like, intimidating in a "Oh, if i go for this guy then there might be a possibility of him screaming as i try to kill him." so he's probably out. Now let's move on to Mark, i think it's pretty obvious as to why i think he's not the first victim. If you haven't caught on yet, it's because a person is basically glued to him 24/7, Jett. Ever since the prologue, Jett has been on Mark's side, so i wouldn't even be shocked if it's the same in chapter 1. So yeah, that's my extended theory.

[@bluewolf1795]

That last image is intriguing. We have our pro-tag, & everyone’s favorite drag racer and Gamer girl there, posing menacingly.

[@serena841]

0:46 Interesting how, in this painting, Tozu has taken God's place (with the angels behind him surely representing the students) and Mara has taken Adam's. The popular theory in the fandom is that Damon is the one true reference to Adam. Odd how they have subverted expectations by separating Mara, of all people, from everyone else. Is this to show us that she isnt participating willingly ? That she is as vulnerable as the students ? Did she take up the role of enforcer in order to accomplish a greater goal ? Did Tozu create Mara, just like God created Adam ? So many questions.

[@staydetermined6717]

Another thing to add, why are they doing this? What’s the outside world like?

[@serena841]

@staydetermined6717 My guess is that it is very similar to ours and the only difference is this "Ultimate" worship they have going on that is pretty much ingrained into their society. I very much support the theory that Tozu and Mara have a vendetta against the UTP and have been enlisted by whoever is running the killing game to host it. Their whole goal is to show the world that their treasured Ultimates are not Gods and are not immune to human temptations such as fame, envy, greed and personal gain. They are no above stepping onto each other to get what they want. They are just as flawed as other humans.

[@0_0gacha22]

my predictions for chapter 1 (lots of yapping beware) in 0:27, you can see what looks to be a heavily pink bedroom. considering toshiko mainly wears pink, it could be that kai discovered her corpse in her bedroom. (unless it’s kai who has a heavily pink bedroom, if so you do you kai no hate!) plus, it doesn’t help how toshiko is the only one missing! i believe jett will be the culprit because in the official artwork for chapter 1, jett has his back turned. it’s either that or people are going to be heavily suspicious of him during the trial. maybe cassidy too since she’s also featured in the artwork as well in the frame, kai doesn’t look too distraught at (what looks to be discovering toshikos corpses in her room) my best guess is that they went looking for toshiko after she didn’t show up, they enter toshikos room and kai points at what looks to be toshiko peacefully sleeping in her bed. only to discover that she’s dead upon further examination, which can explain why kai doesn’t look distraught since he may be under the impression that toshiko is asleep

[@greenherb3229]

I think Jett will be heavily suspected but be innocent, if anything he's probably be the mid-point victim (as in Chapter 3). He's too much of a bro to the others that his death would probably be the spark that makes a chain reaction for the others to lose hope (much like many Chapter 3s where the group's at a breaking point). And also, I suspect that his one-sided friendship with Mark will have some payoff during the later chapters (maybe Mark being tipped off that a recording was faked or something from the SFX being all wrong and Jett gives him some confidence to reveal that to the group) which wouldn't happen if he's the first culprit.

[@0_0gacha22]

@@greenherb3229i hope jett isn’t the culprit too, he actually seems pretty cool! :)

[@sunsetter4940]

I didn't think we'd hear anything until December and randomly decided to check in, what a nice surprise.

[@nogarii]

guys the devs would not make the victim that obvious by not putting her in the trial (toshiko), i think it might just be some trick because a lot of fans have been guessing she’d die first so they make you “confirm” this theory. this trailer is amazing i loved itttt

[@crystalcrow44]

Confirmation bias. People believed she would be the first victim, so they're grasping at anything to "prove" their theory,.

[@dwliejk-vd7pt]

SOME NOTE TELLING DAMON TO MEET SOMEWHERE AT NIGHT?? HELLOOO???

[@black-shadow-eclipse]

I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE 20TH DECEMBER!!! This trailer was wow!!! I know that the 2 years of waiting are so going to be worth it!!! Even the trailer is so detailed and high quality, it makes the excitement for Ch 1 even bigger! ❤

[@totokeythecrowned]

Okay theory time! 1:55 has a significant part off it offscreen. I think it’s this game’s version of Argument Armament and they don’t want to reveal the killer. The retro-game theme makes me want to believe the killer is Cassidy but who knows.

[@sparkus.artsOfficial]

1:50 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, may I have your attention please? Notice what is written on the truth bullet. It says "Tozu Tablet #2" , so...WILL WE HAVE 2 VICTIMS IN THE 1ST CHAPTER!?!?!? Or maybe they put "2" because the first one was in the case of the prologue (since Tozu had not been introduced until the end of the trial and that is why they did not put "Tozu Tablet #1"), BUT IT IS STILL SUSPICIOUS TO HAVE A "2" RIGHT THERE !!!

[@xxx-----xxxxx2401]

In my opinion is WAY to early for there to be two victims so it’s probably just more information regarding to the body

[@yanderejordan7328]

WHY CANT I SEE TOSHIKO IN THE TRIAL 😭😭😭😭 DONT TELL ME SHE DIES FIRST

[@vstxtk]

Im crashing out if they eliminate her first

DESMOND MY GOAT YOU BETTER SURVIVE THIS CHAPTER

[@identipathy]

Anybody else notice “the chapter 1” Title changes from blue to red. That could signify the daily and deadly life lol. Probably didn’t take a genius to figure that out, just felt like pointing it out 😅

[@angelcontreras1005]

3:59 No Jean please don’t give up on yourself I wanted you to live and be the first buff character to survive please you got this!!!!

[@CherutoMSM]

We want buff men to live

[@angelcontreras1005]

@CherutoMSM YES YES WE REALLY DO I MEAN HAVE YOU SEEN ANY DANGANRONPA SPINOFF OR ORIGINAL DANGANRONPA GAMES THAT HAS ANY BUFF CHARACTERS SURVIVING!!!!! Like that is my only point I have because I watched a lot of spinoff of it and every buff character they died in front of me and there characters in general are the same as every buff character in Danganronpa like literally protective and a good supporter and some of them like Kakeru Yamaguchi from SDRA 1 series he was supposed to be the mortal of the story because his sister was in the second but she didn’t participate in the killing game but she was related to her brother Kakeru Yamaguchi on that series so imagine if Teruya didn’t survive and then chapter 5 would be Kakeru death because literally the mastermind killed them off literally it would be a better character development for him but it wouldn’t. But still my point is Jean DeLamer has to survive and average the buff character that never survive I mea he would’ve known it by now and he represents HOPE!!!!!

[@CherutoMSM]

@angelcontreras1005 LIKE I WANNA GET A TIME TO GET SMASHED BY THOSE PECS

[@kite-o]

Haha can’t wait for Wolfgang to NOT be the killer OR victim and for it to be that way FOR THE REST OF THE GAME!!!! (Let’s be honest even if he’s not a killer or victim he is NOT getting out of this killing game mentally stable)

[@poles_s]

Such characters are doomed to change

[@kekeandtofo]

Facts.

[@staydetermined6717]

Calling it now he snaps and kills at one point, potentially chapter 3 Hence a double kill, never understand why that was never the motive for a killer in canon series ngl

[@dqhlia]

WE’RE GETTING OUT OF THE GARDEN W THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

[@deepseeee]

I'm pretty sure you can see Toshiko right before Tozu shows up at 2:04, it's hard to see but I think you can make out her silhouette on the right

[@からくり練乳]

I don't think that is Toshiko. If you check the prologue's trial,that should be Wenona's position. So that means...

[@pieer.]

​@@からくり練乳 toshiko is next to mark or Ulysses on the right 2:04

[@chrisjf4989]

I have no words, the music, the 3D models, the cutscenes and the Argue animation are amazing! I’m so excited

For the people saying that the person at 2:08 is Toshiko, that’s cara 😅

[@ghosty2634]

Notice how toshiko wasn't anywhere to be seen in the trial and the camera didn't even properly show ulysses because she's between him and jett I'M SO WORRIED FOR HER AAAAAAAA

[@k1llaxk1dd34]

Assuming we weren't lied to about who appears in the trial, Toshiko is the only missing character

[@Vixvera]

0:27 The letter is addressed "To Damon Maitsu"

[@greenherb3229]

Or maybe "From Damon Maitsu", we don't really get a clear look. I think this will end up with everyone being against Damon and suspecting him until he's able to prove himself innocent, then Jean will get suspected next.

[@Galacticstarsofthegalaxy]

TOSHIKO IS MISSING FROM THE TRIAL!

Oh my god we are so back Love to see Damon thumbnail 😝😝 (even tho he is the main character already 😮‍💨😮‍💨)

[@OhDatsFine]

I was wondering where y'all been! I feared the worst but was like, "There's no way this failed. The artwork, the production, the voice acting, the story. It was all too good to go to waste". And then I thought y'all got picked up by a big studio and was working with them. But I'm happy to finally see some content from yall again!

[@Anj9999]

Very cool trailer, will have to analyze this later!

[@Vav-t1x]

There is only one character who wasn't shown at all throughout the trailer who is probably the victim of Chapter 1... we can deduce who is in and not in the trial within the video starting from 1:43. At 1:45 we see Diana, Desmond and Mark. then at 1:49 we can remove Grace, influencer dude, and Ingrid out of the victim's list. At Wolfgang's testimony we see: Wolfgang, Eloise, Cassidy, and Ulysses' hand and book. Then of course, Wenona's argument at 1:53. Jean's line gives him the safe pass. At Eva's line, you can see Jett to her right. Then there's Damon's dramatic face throughout the trial and at 2:07. The only one that wasn't revealed at all throughout the trailer is Toshiko Kayura, the Ultimate Matchmaker. Meaning she is most likely the first Victim of Project Eden's Garden.

[@kloveart727]

Our first chapter coming soon and soon we will have to deal with our first victim and culprit. I’m looking forward to it but at the same time, I’m not bc I love this amazing cast.

[@JoshPlayer]

My prediction is that the Ultimate Historian is gonna die first, he has alot of potential on leaving alot of evidence behind especially his routine journal which is the clues can be included.

[@TwinaWina]

NONONO ULYSSES WILL LIVE

[@autumnlover-m3r]

I hate to admit it but this is so reasonable 😭😭 ULYSSES AND WENONA R MY FAVS THOOOO I WANT ATLEAST ONE OF THEM TO LIVE

[@bmgsplushworld8205]

Bro Ulysses? Nah, Ik the team said they would do a lot of new ideas, but regardless, those new ideas still make him HEAVY Chapter 4 Victim Material

[@AlzeroyGalcone]

But that hinges on the fact that whoever ends Ulysses' life, didn't know that Ulysses pretty much recorded his activity on his notebook that he carries all the time. Who could have done it? I don't know. My best guess is Kai at the time I write this, but I could be wrong. The motive? Possibly Tozu told Kai that Ulysses knows something that will threaten the existence of his grandmaster plan. But yeah, from the moment that I saw him in the announcement trailer, I know that he has a massive potential to be one of the victims at some point in the story.

[@datnastysalad5616]

I do think that will be an interesting piece of evidence in trial, but I was thinking that the Journal would be used in the later chapters of the game. In the way that you review chapter 1 in DR3, I was thinking that looking back through his journal would reframe one of these early game cases to incriminate someone new

[@ProjectDisBoi]

Absolutely breathtaking work! Your artstyle is seriously so gorgeous!

[@broadwaybear2376]

Everyone on here and on twitter is speculating and excited about what's going on meanwhile I'm still sitting here screaming PEGGLE????????? at my monitor

[@angelcontreras1005]

OMG THANKS YOU GUYS AND THE CREATOR FOR LETTING ME SEE JEAN AGAIN OMG I WAS OMG I WANTED HIM TO LIVE LONGER I WANTED HIM TO BE THE FIRST BUFF CHARACTER TO SURVIVE AT LEAST IF YOU GUYS ARE PLANNING ON EXECUTE HIM THEN I’M FIND TOO!!!!!!!! OMG HE IS ALIVE 😁 and I also wanted to say that Tozu is starting to become my favorite villain ever despite I still have no Idea who is he because I examine the characters and NONE OF THEM ARE CLOSE ENOUGH so I’m guessing that Tozu could be a different person that is revalent to the story right I mean that my theory and omg Wenona Rebuttal showdown look so cool! 10/10 literally 10/10 I’M SO HAPPY THAT JEAN IS STILL HERE I GET TO SEE HIS HANDSOME FACE AND HIS DEEP VOICE AGAIN!!!!!! OMG I LOVE THE VOICE ACTOR SO MUCH RIGHT NOW HAHAHA!!!!!

I'd thought it'd never come, but here it is.

[@derpyblu1651]

JUST FINISHED WATCHING THE PREMIERE IM SO EXCITED AAAAAAA Edit: btw I analysed the ppl in the trial and the only ones on screen are the following: mark diana desmond kai grace ingrid ulysses wolfgang cassidy eloise damon wenona jean eva jett. The only one missing is Toshiko so.... Rip Toshiko ig. Then again, it could be a red herring, like eomeone else died but they were put in the trailers trial to make us not suspect it.

[@Ariella0124]

IN THE LAST SECONDS I THOUGHT THAT TOZU IS BALD😭😭 PLEASE TOSHIKO, ELOISE, WENONA DON'T DIE

[@1dk_what2writehere]

It feels like ages since I last heard of this- Yh defo gonna reinstall this and replay it b4 chapter 1 comes out

I LEGIT SCREAMED WHEN I SAW THAT THIS WAS COMING WE'RE SO BACK edit: GET READY FOR DEC. 20th

Given on how Cassidy, Damon, and I believe Jett are at the end on paper that's being burned means one, two, or all.of then are dying in Chapter 1.
