I guess of all of my favorites at least The Impostor got Good End. And maybe Alter Ego, we don't actually know apparently?

Spoiler: -hugs commander- I understand, to be honest I like Hiyoko and Mikan (I'm ready for that firing squad now) hmm... but I'm wondering how all of this will tie in with Daganronpa V3...

commandercool:
As far as I understand it, it's very possible it won't at all. It hasn't been explicitly stated yet, but it's been implied that the new game is in its own continuity that doesn't connect to this one at all aside from also having Monokuma. Or it might just be that it takes place in the same universe but with none of the same characters. At any rate, it seems like it takes place well into the future, so none of the existing cast will probably be in it directly.

commandercool:
I just realized something about this last episode.

Spoiler: Technically this information has been on the table for a while, but it resolves the AI Junko plot hole that's been a problem for a while now.

Previously we had no reason to assume that beating AI Junko in the New World Program would get rid of her. If the Remnants of Despair deliberately infected the program with her like we thought then there would be no reason they wouldn't have copied her and uploaded her to a bunch of other places too. Why risk the only remaining copy of their leader when they could just make more of her?

But since now we know that Kamakur/Hinata uploaded her as an experiment, and that if hope won in the experimental setup he created he would turn his back on despair, it makes sense that he didn't make copies. The whole point of the New World Program experiment was to pit Chiaki's hope (and by extension everyone else's hope) directly against Junko's despair, and if hope won then it meant it was more unpredictable and at that point he would have no reason to care if Junko died for good.

Maybe everyone else realized this episodes ago and I'm just late to the party, but I'm pretty happy with that realization. That plot hole has bothered me for a while now and even if there are still a bunch left I'm happy one of the major ones got explained away.

MatsuriSakuragi:
Late to the party, but I decided to pick this up again now that I'm able to shotgun it. It's much more fun this way.

Just finished Despair Arc 7.

Holy damned mother of fuck.

commandercool:
Oooh, cool. Well do keep us updated with your thoughts, I'm curious to know what you think of it.
