And once again people are spoiling like crazy in this thread. Is it that difficult to use a spoiler tag? Anyway, I am super excited for the next episode, because I really liked the conclusion of chapter 4's class trial. I hope they can pull it off decently enough.

Alright. Loved the show still going to redo it (hopefully) in BD soon. Love Monokuma, can't stand Togami, and indifferent towards Kirigiri.

My thoughts today were in order of watching (Click if you want but please excuse the french spoken):

The rule only says you're forbidden from destroying locked doors. It says nothing about destroying the lock. Also, if you go to the rec room in the game, you can clearly see there's no lock on the door.

They fucked up.


how about that it will be the same as why monokoma allowed the boys to enter the girls changing room in the second murder? i mean he let them despite the rule saying any boy that enter will be killed all that just for investigation purposes so i guess it is the same this time? so no penalty for breaking the door ..
.. that's my guess ..

Since Celes died, Asahina is my became my favorite chara in this show...

Wow, lots of revelations and conflicts here, the picture of Yamada, Celes and Maizono... Monokuma is 30 years old, Sakura being an agent... and of course the clashes between Asahina and Togami/Genocider.

Since Sakura has a lot of focus this episode, it won't be weird that she died this time! And its a locked room murder!!! Hell yes. I love lock room mysteries. Can't wait for the class trial to start.

They adapted everything regarding Sakura pretty well in my opinion. They really rushed through the investigation, but that only means we'll have a whole episode for the trial, which they'll need because of its complexity.

They really dun goofed with the door being locked though. In the game it was only blocked by the chair, since they are not allowed to break locked doors. In the anime they effectively broke that rule.

the anime fucked up. the door wasnt supposed to be locked and next episode will have the continuation of the invetigations which will definetely fuck up the class trial. so yeah... this is despair inducing moment. pls send hope.

i feel like everyone has had a big appearance but the fortune teller afro guy

anyway, didn't naegi break down that door? wasn't it a new rule? i'm curious to see how this murder went about. i have no leads whatsoever.
i did see kirigiri say something about seeing too many corpses, though. i wonder what her super high school level power is. maybe a grave digger? oho

Do you know the difference between breaking and create a way to open it without breaking it?
From my point of view breaking a door means taking it out of its hinges with force or destroy the door .
He didnt break the door . The rule says nothing about doors with glasses or if you can break the glass to open it , it simple says "dont break it" . From what I've saw the door wasnt broke only the glass was .
The rule was , if you havent figured it out , for the 2 doors . Monobear was afraid of Sakura , that she would break those 2 doors.
Besides the point , breaking a door implies using force to open it ,I havent seen Naegi using force to open it.

I'm tempted to spoil myself, but everyone who has played the game is saying that this is where the story gets a lot better.. so I'll hold off.

I can't see this being a suicide at all.... I honestly think Asahina did it. Oh well, I'll find out next week!

Lol Sakura chan, power level was over 14k.

Togami deserved that slap tho, he's kinda a douche, but I still like him.

Was looking forward to see something related to the masked guy, but we got nothing.

Also Chihiro (Alter Ego) ftw, even in death, he's helping them out.

Before someone accuse me, I didn't play the game or read any spoiler, I am just saying what I see, so I am not spoiling (I hope).
Naegi, Kirigiri, Asahina, Fukawa, Hagakure and Togami, if I am counting right, there are six people left. I am not counting Oogami because Monokuma said:" Super duper highschool fighter lol. Locked-room murder lol. Now the number of the survivors stands at seven." Maybe there is one extra survivor?

They skipped the scene in the anime in the interest of time.

tl;dr The game has all the little details. Go play it, it's fun!

Well, the glass is part of the door. I am fairly certain that unless this is explained outright in the next episode, it is an oversight by the anime production staff.

Hagakure's almost always a suspect that I bet he makes it out of the game alive LOL

Chapter 1: Broken Crystal Ball
Chapter 2: ???
Chapter 3: Justice Robo/ "Yasuhiro"
Chapter 4: Called to the recording room

I expected Genocider to die this episode but I was wrong. It's probably Asahina because Sakura died smiling, so now Asahina can accuse the 3, win the case and walk away free.

On another note...what are with the pictures of the past? That's the bigger mystery.

And every time the number of students decreases! More mysteries thrown in the air, it's a bit sad that the series will end soon, I wish the characters were more developed than the past of each were shown (at least after they die) but unfortunately I think that only in the manga (or or it).

This time there are many clues and think it will be easy to solve the mystery, just hope for a fuck trial next week.

It can't be Asahina...

There's no way Asahina's the murderer... There is no freaking way my sweet Asahina can do that...

No way~~~ It must be the Afro, heck it might be Naegi, we don't know his true color...

It's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina, it's not Asahina!!!

Actually this show is adapted from the original PSP game & the manga is an adaptation for it as well. The game are more detailed with everything like the character's development & past but the manga added some nice extras (though some event kind altered a bit like first murder's circumstances). The game is really enjoyable so you should check it out.

There is fan translation patch for the PSP game or you can wait for the official localization (though it for Vita but it has more added features than PSP version)

Oh man this chapter is sad in the game so next ep will be tough for me to handle ;_ ;
They rushed some scene but at least this pace much better than earlier episode.

Was really expecting Naegi to get whacked again when he went to plug Alter Ego into the network lol.

Ok, so I can rule out Naegi, Kirigiri, and Genocider/Fukawa since she only goes after men and leave a big mess and Fukawa is afraid of blood.

I'm gonna guess Togami is the one who did it this time. I'm thinking that the powder shown in the investigation was the poison (shown earlier), which he used to weaken Ohgami, which made her puke up the blood. He then used the monokuma bottle to bash her over the head. Togami is the only one smart enough to commit a locked room murder, though how he got out and blocked it with a chair, I'm not sure. I don't know about the magazine, maybe Ohgami was reading it before she got killed?

Then again, Asahina was the only other person that was shown seeing the poison. That, and she could have felt betrayed since Ohgami never told her that she was the agent.
