~Beyond the Border~ > Akyu's Arcade
Danganronpa V3 is here!
Thata no Guykoro:
Currently at chapter 5!
This is the first time i've ever played a Danganronpa game completely unspoiled and it is a wild fucking ride
Ch. 1 spoilers: Spoiler: I still miss Kaede a lot. At least Shuichi looks a lot better hatless
also, a bit of advice applicable to chapter 2 and on: Spoiler: Check the labs of the dead kids after every chapter. All of them. There's new dialogue, even for the ones who died earlier.

If Spoiler: Shuichi and Spoiler: Kaito don't make out by the end of the game I'm going to be disappointed.

Chapter 2 thoughts:
Spoiler: <Sect> Okay, I don't know what's going on with the second case. The only person that seems suspicious is Kaito, especially with him saying that the stuff int he pool was unimportant, but I can't think of a good motive for him other than him going crazy because the robo Monokub returned all of the motives to the right people (because Shuichi and the others didn't realize that the mixing up of the motives was accidenta
<Sect> l in the first place, and thought that it was just a game). Even then, it seems a bit out of character for Kaito, and the only reason I'm really sticking with it is Shuichi's monologue after his training with Kaito.
I didn't even suspect Kirumi until the moment that you had to select the culprit. It made perfect sense when the pieces came together, and her motive for killing was... kind of crazy, but sensible. Ryoma, though, really has it rough, especially with that motive.
Also, I liked Maki from the beginning, but she's becoming even better for me. She's currently my second favorite female character, after Kaede (sob). Kaito's my favorite male character.
Now onto Case 3, and beginning the trial:
Spoiler: I have no idea who killed Angie or Tenko. I'm just happy that they finally killed a character I didn't like. The method of creating the locked room for Angie is pretty obvious, by stabbing the katana in the Kaede effigy and spinning her right round baby right round in order to get the room to lock after leaving, and Tenko's murder seems straight forward. Who did it is the big question.
EDIT: More thoughts before starting Trial 3: Spoiler: I don't think Kokichi or Kiyo are responsible for Angie's death, because they both would have known about the gold leaf falling off and leaving clues. Neither of them could have killed Tenko because they were involved in the seance, and the logistics to getting underneath the floor while chanting in darkness would have been difficult. Kokichi could have snuck away to do the stabbing, since I thought I heard someone drop off in the middle of the chant, but it would have been dumb for him to reveal that the other room had similar sabotage done to it. That does show that someone had already planned for the seance to be done, though, even if they didn't know which room it would be in: they decided to not let it go to chance by preparing all three of the dark rooms for a murder opportunity...

Second case:
Spoiler: I got fixated on the black cloth and therefore Kirumi pretty early on, to the point that I was losing points by trying to use it as evidence for everything whenever it was available. I was guessing that someone else requested her to commit the murder though which didn't end up being the case.
Before the third trial:
Spoiler: At this point Kokichi and the student council members are the only logical suspects since I don't think anyone else could get into the lab.
Right now my prime suspect is Kibo by way of Miu. Maybe she modified him to commit the murder against his will, since she's obviously been tinkering with him. That doesn't really explain a motive though, since I don't think she's that reckless or THAT callous to just kill someone to try to escape at this point.
As motives go my best guess is that it's one of the council members and the murders were committed at Angie's request for some kind of weird occult reason. Which still makes Kibo my main suspect at this point.
Sect:
Third Trial conclusion:
Spoiler: As I was playing, I was thinking about my earlier thoughts and went "wait a second, those are exactly the reasons I should suspect those two". And lo and behold, Kiyo was the killer. And a complete fruitbat.
Very end of Chapter Three:
Spoiler: Kaito! Nooooooooo! ;___;
