He would not have won, Shuichi proved everything.

The murder being unsolvable as stated in the video is false. Edit: This is not quite true, Shuichi did solve it so its not unsolvable bit he tried to lie for Kaito which Monokuma probably would've sniffed out so Kaito would indeed have 'won'

[@diveville]

it's been like two years since i've played this chapter and i still don't understand

[@aylainsworth]

@@diveville okay so i hope i can explain this properly but here we go. you know the whole thing is basically the neo world program which is a program developed by future foundation that is meant to "fix" all of our characters. why fix them? bc they're the remnants of despair. so they're connected to the ultimate despair, junko enoshima. they were put into this "danganronpa" neo world simulation by the future foundation so that they feel hope instead of despair. BUT there was 1 person who was not a remnant of despair and that was chiaki aka "the traitor". why? because she is not real :D she is an ai created by future foundation. lets talk abt the reason nagito did all of this. its because he knew they were all remnants of despair (except the traitor) including himself. and since he wanted hope to win more than anything, he thought that all remnants of despair should die, as i've said, including himself too. so he decided that he should create an unsolvable murder, this way they couldn't guess who murdered him. and since the rules go by "if you cant guess who done it you all die". they would die, except the blackened (which is chiaki bc her bomb thing killed nagito while they were trying to open the gate) SOOO thats why he did it :DD but obviously it didnt work bc chiaki told them that she was the traitor, so she got executed :(((((

[@T.A.Edison]

@@diveville Hey! I can explain it. So Nagito obtained a book after clearing The Final Dead Room, which from he learned, that all of his classmates except the 'traitor' were ultimate despair. (the traitor is Chiaki) And we know, that Nagito despised despair, therefore he wanted them dead, and he wanted Chiaki to be alive. So he trusted his luck, and he was hoping, that Chiaki would be the one killing him. (with a fire grenade, that contained poison) After Chiaki unintentionally killed him, he wanted the others think, that he comitted suicide, so in the voting time they vote for him (nagito) as the blackened. But Chiaki noticed, that the cause of death wasn't mentioned in the Monokuma file, therefore it'd spoil the identity of the culprit. So they deduced, that Nagito didn't die because of the spear or whatever it was, but because of a pioson he obtained at The Final Dead Room. Now, the most convinient for Nagito would be, that the person killing him was the traitor, so Chiaki. That being done, he wanted the others to vote for him as the blackened, and even if they figure out his true intentions, then they wouldn't be able to figure out who the culprit is, because there's no way they'd know which one of them threw the grenade that contained the poison that killed Nagito. But the others trusted Nagito's luck, and voted for the person Nagito wanted to be the killer. A hope it was helpful, but to be fair, his trial was one of the most twisted one in the game, so it's kinda hard to explain. I suggest you play chapter 5 once more, and maybe it'll be less confusing. :DDD

For the first case: -I mean, Leon did clean up. He cleaned the murder scene of any hair and got rid of his bloody shirt. The former was what cleared Naegi of suspicion but the latter was what three suspicion onto him. - For Teruteru, he had to scream, otherwise he would have been suspected from the start since he wasnt in the dining hall and was the more likely suspect. The only reason he became more suspicious was due to Mikan trippinf, something he could not foresee.

[@hannahwishon9958]

Let's say Teruteru didn't scream. Everyone would still think he was in the kitchen. If he was in the kitchen to them, it would make sense as to why he didn't see Mikan trip.

Chefs don't like it when proper equipment is missing. He's the cook, and he had absolute access to the kitchen.

[@bronzemanticore3809]

In the anime, the decisive clue for Mondo's case was only blue jacket, but in the game, there were talks about the student handbook too so even if he didn't say anything about the jacket, they could just check his handbook and confirm things. Mikan didn't have to say anything about camera at all. By elimination, there was only 1 person who could record the video when Hajime was in the lobby. Proof that Gundham went to the dead room was the tools that he used. But that doesn't matter. If he said he went out to the bathroom during the rumble, he should've met/heard Nekomaru or the killer because Fuyuhiko only saw Nekomaru during 7 pm until the alarm rang. Even if he accused Nagito, Nagito was like the weakest, he couldn't possibly fight against Nekomaru. The more likely person to accuse was actually Fuyuhiko. Man was a sole witness and the ultimate yakuza. Pretty sure he knew a thing or two to fight without hamsters. Nagito's plan failed simply because of plot armor.

i think for mondo and celeste’s trials, people forget that they don’t have to vote with convicting evidence and it’s just majority votes. even if mondo never mentioned the track suit, there was still the handbooks broken by the sauna, and not to mention byakuya literally saw mondo carry the body and kyoko also suspected mondo right away, so it would just have to take the both of them to convince everyone. and with celeste it’s essentially the same thing, even tho her apparent evidence was the stuff she said, it doesn’t change the fact that she was the most suspicious out of everyone during the whole thing. she was the only one actually “seeing” the killer move around, pointed the finger right away at yasuhiro, dismissive when people were questioning how the killer was moving around, took a picture when hifumi was getting attacked, and basically was the most likely person to work and manipulate hifumi since everyone has seen celeste have hifumi under her heel before. again at that point celeste was just so suspicious that even if there wasn’t incriminating evidence against her, you would just have to argue about her suspicious behavior and get majority votes

[@michaellatner975]

another thing is how her personality changed completely, how the whole time she was acting very confident and overpowering with her feelings, and also the fact that when the killing started she said "I even begged him, so i could survive" i think like 30% of the player base instantly suspected her having something to do with it at that moment.

You misunderstand the V3 5th trial. Kokichi's end game was for Monokuma to get it wrong, that was the whole point. However, Monokuma was now sure that Kaito was the culprit. With that now confirmed in his mind, Shuichi was failing to gaslight him into thinking that Kokichi was actually the culprit. Sadly Shuichi realized too late that Kaito and Kokichi were trying to save everyone, and it wasn't gonna be possible to make Monokuma mess up anymore. Once it was certain that Monokuma got it right, both Kokichi and Kaido respectively would most likely have gotten out of the exisal and let themselves get executed, because BOTH Kaito and Kokichi just wanted to end the game. It's not like Kokichi wanted everyone to die and Kaito to escape.

First of all, AI Gonta was shown the secrets of the outside world and thats what made him agree with Kokichi to kill someone and create an impossible trial for everyone to be executed, because well, Gonta thought it would be better for everyone to die instead of having to live outside the academy. BUT, If Gonta DIDN'T cooperated with Kokichi then Miu would've kill Kokichi, thus her winning the trial, why? If Miu wasn't dead then the Red monokub (forgot his name) wouldn't have helped the students to find evidence (he only did that because his "momma"/Miu was dead) and he did reveal some pretty useful things, like if Miu would've touched Kokichi then he would become paralyzed, Miu changing her settings to object and I think it was that there was a weapon left, the Hammer Miu intended to use to kill Kokichi. Since Miu wasn't at the Mansion side and she threw the bridge so there was no way of her being in the mansion,there wouldn't have been any reason to suspect her

Well for Celeste they would probably still tell she is Japanese, what should she say was "oh my parents moved to France or Germany when I was little and grew up there, later I went back to Japan to attend hope's peak Kaito's case bugs me because as long as he didn't leave the exisal, then monokuma cannot confirm who's inside, so no matter what the group picks, he can't be sure. Kaito can always make a last minute claim that Kokichi was not moving so the posion might have killed him, making the question if it's maki or Kaito. Another thing is if Kaito just said Kokichi's plan from the start, then Shuichi would have no reason to try to solve it, making the case impossible with no other players able to. Or my favorite one which people played around with, fake both deaths and have them both in the exisal (blood can come from blood bags or as one person tried, just making a gash in oneself to put there, everyone is too emotional to really tell anyway) then even if someone dies inside the exisal, monokuma called a falty trial from the press murder Miu attempted to kill and she could have done better if she aimed for Shuichi over Kokichi, both are smart but Kokichi has more street smarts and planning, and even if Kokichi was able to tell she killed Shuichi, no one would trust him

[@jesterroyalty]

I think in Kokichi & Kaito's case, Kokichi likely wouldn't have lasted long enough for the trial due to the poison-and at that point, it's kind of like, do you have his body sit in the exisal with Kaito so that no one finds it? (I think Kaito would've still wanted Maki to not actually be the blackened, so Kokichi would've had to die from something else like blood loss if going off of the idea of both faking their deaths). I think Kokichi could've written Kaito a tactful way to announce their plan, or at least part of it (to allow Shuichi to puzzle out the rest), but if it was figured out from the beginning I wonder how they would've handled the rest of the trial. Gameplay wise players would still want to know what happened, but then do you figure out a way to explain it in the trial without Monokuma learning anything or wait until the end to have them do an exposition? 💭 Either way it would've led to an interesting chapter 6.

For Teruteru, if he didn’t scream that would have made him more suspicious. In the trial that’s actually the way that he clears himself from suspicion. When the lights go out people can still here him which leaves them with the impression that he’s still in the room. It’s Ibuki who clearly hears him due to her good hearing. What I think screwed him over was the skewer. If he put blood on the knife after the murder, that would have made it the most obvious murder weapon.

[@Username-dz8bn]

Tsumugi could've "won" if she never mentioned going to the bathroom as everyone with her was dead at that point but we all know that she did that for plot reasons and essentially told everyone that she was the mastermind to continue the trial

[@despairgumshoe6206]

I made an argument, and this would have made the 1st game a lot better, is not kill Taka. You can use that as a lure sure, but when you get there just kill Hifumi. That takes out the second name thing, all the costume nonsense and you can do it in the middle of the night. This makes Taka a suspect and you can also fame Hiro still. I think the writers didn't know what to do with split personality thing and just killed him off quickly but ruined Celeste's ability because her lying is amateurish here. She kills Hifumi, she might have mild suspicion but not enough to convict, and it was mostly the name drop and the frame job that convicted her. Not killing Taka and killing Hifumi in the middle of the night ends all that and save a stretch in another piece of evidence she escapes

[@despairgumshoe6206]

I have to disagree with Celeste's. She should have just flat murdered Hifumi. Including Taka's murder introduced more variables than she could control. All she had to do was make sure Taka and the Astrologer guy did not have solid alibis when Hifumi was killed. Killing Hifumi straight removes the second name thing, leaves Taka as a potential suspect and removes all the evidence Hifumi left around like the note, etc...She tried too hard.

Kokichi’s murder is actually solvable considering Shuichi already solved it but then realized what was going too late. Seeing Shuichi try to backtrack to not reveal the truth is what caused Kaito to reveal himself.

[@Agagagag-o1f]

Not really shuichi just used the fact that kokichi was lying and he was about being the mastermind it’s basically an educated guess kokichi would be the more likely victim than kaito . Since everyone hated him. It wasn’t actually proven it was kokichi. A educated guess since no one knew what happend

[@staying_silent]

It always hurts me playing through 3-5 cause they really did come so close to ruining the game. If just one little thing had gone differently, Shuichi wouldn't have figured out what really happened, and they all might've survived. But by time he realised what Kokichi's plan really was, it was too late, and Kaito's just too good a guy to risk letting everyone die

[@ShadwSonic]

Honestly, Nagito's trial shouldn't have ended like it did. Allow me to explain... Remember Peko's trial, where she tried to pass off her actions as "just a tool" of Fuyuhiko? What was the logic that rendered that thought invalid again? Yeah, she acted _on her own volition_ with _no_ manipulation from outside sources. Considering Nagito's _entire plan_ involved _manipulating_ Chiaki to commit an act _counter_ to her own volition, she clearly was "just a tool" in that case, right? Seriously, this has always bugged me since the first time I played that trial.

THAT'S WHAT I BEEN ARGUING ABOUT FOR MONTHS but no matter what fans just refuse to see this as a problem! This is basically the reason why I dislike nagito as a character.

[@hotanimebabe779]

Honestly I don't think it's a big problem. It's accidental murder which still counts as murder and danganronpa trails are never fair anyway just look at trial 1 of v3 and trial 5 from the first game. I think monokuma just wajted to get rid of chiaki since she's an AI made by the future foundation. Also peko is still human and wasn't considered a tool since fuyuhiko never ordered her to do anything she did it of her own free will.

[@raspberrycrowns9494]

Pretty sure the logic that rendered it meaningless was the fact she was physically the one that caused the killing blow. Honestly I don't think Monokuma was seriously considering executing everyone but Kuzuryu, I think he was just in it for the drama that trial

Gonna be honest…I feel like some weren’t really paying attention to most of these trials my friend- 1: Leon DID try to clean up his mess, he couldn’t get into the trash room because he didn’t have the key to actually get in there 2: If TeruTeru didn’t scream he would’ve been the ONLY possible person who could’ve killed Byakuya by process of elimination. The big giveaway was the meat on the bone, the stove, etc. 3: Peko had to escape through the window because if she didn’t she would’ve left her footprints in the sand. She told everyone she was at the first island’s beach, so why would her footprints be on the second beach? 4: As you said, Gundham only truly lost because he never wanted to win. I feel even if Nekomaru had killed Gundham, he would’ve eventually came forward as well. They tried to kill so everyone else could live, because everyone else had essentially given up 5: Remember, Korekiyo wasn’t planning on killing Angie, he wanted to kill somebody else originally. Though after he killed Angie, I agree he should’ve just left it at that, crazy psycho… 6: As for Mikan and Mondo mentioning those specific things, everybody slips up at some point. Just a fact of life. Mikan was done for the second she started talking like she knew about the video

I never thought of Kokichi actively trying to end the life of all his classmates. He wanted to end the game because it wasn’t fun anymore. I think that was one of the very few times he was genuine. I think he expected Kaido to do what he did in the end but knew that making a case this complex would draw out the true mastermind and end the series which is what he truly wanted. After all, kokichi is the ultimate supreme leader. He, even in his own twisted way, lead everyone to finally being able to stop Danganronpa, and it would be weird for him to truly want them all to die in the end. Honestly, I think people underrate how good of a title kokichi has that shows his role in the story. He IS a leader.

I actually really like the reasoning for DR 3 2nd class trail, my friends always said she could have just not worn her gloves, and I ALWAYS said them they would have just immediately thought of “Oh if the culprit didn’t use a brace then they have rope burn on their hands, so who’s the one person in this room wearing fingered gloves?” Plus even if she did refute that they can simply just say “if you’ve got nothing to hide then, take off your gloves and show us your hands.” I also really wish this series was more commended for the class trails, some of them are written so incredibly well that you just wish you could solve new ones every single day. I’d start jumping for joy if they announced a 4th game, yeah Rain Code is essentially DR 4, but I don’t think it will be to the EXACT same degree of how the investigation and trail goes. Plus I highly doubt the “Ultimate” detectives will be the culprits, you’ll probably work WITH them all instead of against them, which is a shame because if it was ultimate detectives vs ultimate detectives.

04:32 I'd actually argue that, had Gonta not lost his memories, it would've been entirely possible for him to have gotten away with it; putting aside the fact that there's any number of ways he could've interfered with the trial to prevent the group from coming to the correct conclusion had he remembered what he was actually supposed to be doing, it actually would've been pretty easy for either him or Kokichi to pounce upon the fact that Shuichi explicitly states that he left the Kitchen at one point when he lies about not seeing Kokichi in the Salon, which means *he* could easily be argued to be a suspect (if not an even greater one than Gonta considering it would've put him in closer proximity to the crime scene) honestly I feel like the only reason that Kokichi doesn't do that in the actual game is because the hypocricy of Shuichi blatantly lying while everyone around him berates Kokichi for being a liar pissed him off so bad that he just outted Gonta right then and there instead of going with his original plan of letting everyone get executed for voting wrong

[@ProfessorNilo]

As much as I would like this to be true... with how the plan is designed everyone but Gonta has an alibi or is physically unable to have killed Miu. Keebo, Maki and Himiko were all together when Miu body hit the chapel wall. Same with Shuichi and Tsumugi. Kaito was logged out and due to Kokichi's avatar settings preventing him from touching her both of them are physically unable to have killed her. Unless the characters blatantly ignore these facts Gonta is the only suspect. And Kokichi never planned on letting Gonta live... yes Kokichi got mad and revealed that Gonta is the killer because Shuichi lied. But figuring out that Gonta is the killer doesn't require Kokichi to snitch on him. In the end Kokichi's plan was to build up his villain persona for his greater plan of stopping the killing game. Nothing suggests that Kokichi would side with Gonta for any reason. That being said, let's suggest Gonta would've kept his memory... then what Gonta as rude as it sounds is not smart enough to defend himself. The only reason he was able to do so in the first place was because he genuinely believed to be innocent. For Gonta to win either everyone alive would've to be willfully ignorant like Kaito was and just ignore both Shuichi's and Kokichi's reasoning... or Gonta would have to come up with a completely different plan that excludes Kokichi and leaves room for other suspects. Trust me I don't want to say that Gonta's death was innevitable... but I can't see a reasonable way he could've survived with the plan he was a part of. If you still think that I'm wrong, I would like for you to tell me exactly how you imagine this thing play out. I would like to be proven wrong, I really do, I just don't see a way it's possible.

@@ProfessorNilo to be honest I'd forgotten about Shuichi & Tsumugi being right next to eachother when the body hit the chapel wall, and barring some convoluted method where that could've been delayed I can't say anything comes to mind for an argument that could be made against that fact I do disagree that Gonta wouldn't be smart enough to come up with *something* though; Gonta is naive, but he's clearly smart enough to come up with stuff like how the culprit tied the ropes together over the pool in Chapter 2 (not to mention that, iirc, the idea to push the body off the roof using the lattice was actually his idea not Kokichi's) so I feel like if he truly wanted to he could've come up with at least something to make himself less suspicious, although granted I don't think it would've been successful at actually letting him get away with murder in the even if he did, but I could at least see him managing to steer the conversation away from topics that'd potentially incriminate him without anyone else noticing

In regard to 11037... he actively tried to hide his involvement. He just wasn't good at it, as shown he realized he needed to use the lint roller to make it so there was no hair as his was a dead giveaway, but he obviously didn't register or see what Sayaka wrote behind her. Coupled with that, the glass ball and shirt with the incinerator showed he tried, but wasn't able to get rid of that evidence fully, which is something they mention in the closing argument - he had thought he did and by then it was too late since he couldn't get into the incinerator room without the key. All in all, he really just needed to be smarter given he clearly knew he had to hide his involvement

[@Ult_Trickster]

He probably wasn't thinking straight, but one simpler idea would be that he could've just kept his shirt in his room and get rid of it the next morning. As far as we know, no one investigated the others' rooms, and even if they did, he might've already gotten rid of it, and it would've eliminated the need to use the glass ball and risk of leaving evidence behind. The only other evidence that everyone could go off of was that the culprit is most likely a guy and I guess the "main" evidence would be his toolkit being used

I know ppl who watch this clip, already knew the story. But i will put spoiler warning first: The first blood perk basically the way mastermind just going to annul their mistake. But if Kaede use the perk herself there is some possibility that monokuma just going to execute her anyway, and also Kaede will be put in a lot of suspicious position on every trial thereafter

[@randomsnapperson8008]

Alternate solution for Kaede: Someone noticed that Rantaro's blood splatter didn't line up with where Kaede's ball would've landed (Miu's photo shows the book tunnel leads the ball too far to the left)

It’s crazy how 2-4 was the hardest trial for me in all of danganronpa and had the biggest twist villain for me yet gundham basically helped us the whole time

[@jasonthompson8732]

0:21 he knew that a trial would happen he was there when monokuma explained

[@The___Rat]

If Kirumi just left Ryoma after drowning him literally nobody would have figured it out

[@131-o3q]

Gonta would have won if he found a better place to throw the murder weapon or if he went back for it instead of just leaving it there

[@Chaki21]

But he couldn't since he lost his memories when his trial started

How Gonta could’ve survive: just don’t listen to kokichi 💀

[@vanillasalt8284]

Gundham set the alarm in the lounge outside the bedrooms which went off and woke up everyone who wasn’t in the deluxe rooms. That was incredibly stupid and he had no good reason to do that, that revealed that he was outside his room when Nekomaru died.

[@nevermind2425]

Kaede could have also pinned the blame on Shuichi since everyone did suspect him and the crux of her argument was the lie about the receiver.

[@leahpateric5691]

Unfortunately Kaeda's compassion really was her downfall, she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she got everyone else killed, especially since she already did kill an innocent

[@Ivyrus66677]

She'd die with everyone else cuz she didnt kill Rantaro

[@nevermind2425]

@@Ivyrus66677 she didn’t know that she didn’t kill rantaro

@@nevermind2425 yeah ik that, but the person who posted the comment said kaede could have won the trial by framing shuichi but she would die with the rest of the class as well, she couldn't have won at all

Leon definitely did try to cover up evidence (he threw the jacket in the incinerator, cleaned up all the hair in the room), he just did a bad job with it

[@area52ron]

Now that’s not entirely true Leon did try to cover up his tracks he used the lint roller, cleaned himself up, and threw away his blood stained clothes as although yes he wasn’t aware of the trial he was aware that the rule said he had to get away with it but due to him not knowing about the 11037 and unable to get the shattered crystal ball and burnt clothes or he just didn’t think to get it once he was able to otherwise he would have noticed the burned shirt he was doomed

[@Natalie66796]

Actually, if Leon would have left Sayaka, she could have spun a lie to say he attacked her. Who would you believe? A seemingly innocent, sweet girl? Or some guy with a temper. If he would have left her, she would have just gone crying to someone and said that Leon attacked her unprovoked.

[@randomcoloradan2878]

Yeah, all he really had to do was clean up 11037 and that scrap of fabric in the incinerator

[@Natalie66796]
