5:59 my guess is that “fat mom” refers to Miu! Since she’s a mom to the monokubs & we all know how much Kokichi loves calling her a fat cow.
So a new game just dropped called psyco sleuth and it’s danganronpa but all the characters have disorders and it’s SO GOOD pls play it. The murders are literally kanade level it’s insane stuff like every single kill is just amazing the chapters were so good and I loved the game so much it’s complete! Pls play it id love to see ur reactions
THE MIODA CREW WILL BE INNOCENT!!! MY POOOR IBUKI WOULD NEVER! hahaha tbh, I think the Mioda Crew is the new rock band of Ibuki with a bunch of her classmates. This could happen during first chapter in order for them to investigate or even make a concert for the first party!!!! I totally see Hiyoko on the crew.
I doubt Ibuki is the first killer. We need to remember that Danganronpa is all about misleading us. It's all about truth and lies after all so I suggest not jumping to conclusions just yet when it comes to the game's marketing. Nothing in Danganronpa marketing should be taken at face value.
Also, since I already played the original I'm just going to go for Slayhem once I get the game.
And one more think; I'd love it if one of the Slayhem items is a gun where the person who was given it thought it would be great to use to kill only to then find out that the gun was jammed the whole time while in the middle of committing their crime. I can see Monokuma doing just that to troll them. He's cruel after all.
I need a demo or something I’m going crazy waiting for release
0:00 for a second i was 100% sure Weeby was editing the Monokuma sprite to match with her speech
Man the new voice lines for Goodbye Despair makes me hope they'll voice all of Nagito's final speech, such an iconic moment.
spoilers about the video
oh God if Ibuki is the first culprit that's utter bullshit really 😭😭 WTF my girlie deserves to survive
I hope Ibuki ain’t the first culprit 🙁
I really wish they’d just started with THH so we could have a fully rebooted timeline
5:42 "Fat Mom" is probably TeruTeru's mom
It doesn't sound like Kodaka did the first draft, he says he re wrote them, meaning they'd already been written. It sounds like the second or third draft was all Kodaka wanting to go like "ok, Koizumi here's everything I would change from what we have already, make sure I didn't make anything stop making sense, and add what you want to make sure gets touched on if I missed anything"
16:35 I love how the automatic translator can't read Hajime's name lol. They called him himetakujime because they misread ヒナタハジメ as ヒメタハクジメ which actually makes sense if you look at it!
Imagine if dr 2×2 is just Danganronpa 2 remade and then Danganronpa 4 and the protagonist is salutary / John. not gonna happen but IMAGINE
The next Danganronpa title will be named Danganronpa Sister Location. Trust
I'm coping hard with ibuki but I'm hoping the plot is just "she doesn't want to believe her friend would murder and gets betrayed then has to deal with losing trust in everyone while also trying to be a positive force". Kind of a "loses her spark" type of storyline
I think 2×2 is going to have scenes that are similar to 2's but with crucial differences, sort of like how in v3 chapter 6 Tsumugi says "remember how excited y'all were to get selected" with fake flashbacks when in the actual prologue everyone was confused. They don't want 2 TOO fresh in your mind because it'll make it too obvious what changed in 2×2.
i feel "fat mom" is probebly twogami as he was like dr2 casts mom makeing sure they were all safe
My theory on this game is that this will actually be another run at the simulation, which again will turn out poorly, leading to more and more simulations being ran, kinda tying into the multiplication thats present in this game
Kodaka our king of vagueposting 💔🥹
15:10 Project Eden's garden reference
omfg this new game is focusing way more on the mysteries and murder tricks? I'll be eating good, I'm so excited for this. Might be the best of the series for me if it manages to have even better cases than V3.
Honestly I would be very happy if they connect this to V3, idgaf, I'll always defend my fav game of the franchise
Them trying to avoid talking about why the setting helped them decide makes me think the twist in slayhem is gonna be that its NOT a simulation, but tbh idk how that would work since the characters look different after and before grtting in the neo world program
I'm not comfortable with making assumptions about some "fat mom". Maybe it's Teruteru?
I've said this from day one. 2×2 = 4 is the whole thing. I think the point of the game is it IS DR4. Maybe the idea being they are talking about V3 bcause of its numbering to remind peopel IT ISN'T 3. The ANIME was 3. This would mean game wise, 2 then 4 makes sense. That's why the number joke. 2 becomes 4 becomes 8. They are giving us a hint to follow number patterning for things. Don't assume the 8 part, but more just the two becomes four. I get it. Tin foil hat, but i think this is them being FAR more direct. The games numbering has been a weapon before, and i think this time, it isn't a weapon, but a actual "This is the numbering" so we know this games story IS 4. As in "It's both 2, AND 4" 🙂
i don't think ibuki will be a culprit (or at least not this early), but if she is it'd definitely be interesting. i don't think every character needs to get proper, deep development like hiyoko or fuyuhiko. i think her death in the original game was meant to signal a tone shift in the game, your typical happy-go-lucky comic relief character dying always hits people hard. if she were to die early in 2×2 i think it'd definitely indicate that this game will be a bit less campy and more "mature"
For that first answer about the killers and victims being "almost" completely changed, I know people are mentioning different characters but my mind goes to Peko being a repeat killer but in a completely different context. I think if she kills again but this time not for the sake of Fuyuhiko but for some other reason, then I could see her getting even a completely different execution.
I also think that her surviving is a bit too easy of a conclusion to the point that i would not put it past the creators to make her even chapter 5's killer just to really make the final murder chapter that much more emotional.
i cannot thank asaka on tumblr enough, she's been wonderful throughout the entire time i've known her AND she translates DR related news and events everytime something new is up! AND she always draws me a birthday gift 😭 asaka-san if u read this. thank u
and weeby, thank you so much for all the hard work sharing the news!! your videos are always informed and well edited 😀
Maybe the nickname "Fat Mom" is for Teruteru.
My theory for the Slayhem experience is that it’s actually taking place AFTER the original story in 2. Somewhere along the lines of Hajime and the original survivors diving into the Neo World Program again to awaken everyone from by tackling a second much more intense killing game.
(possible spoilers/theorizing about a possible death)
I so think Hiyoko is going to die, I'm leaning towards her being one of the members of the cast who get's a repeat role (victim). Anyone who is next to the protagonist in the trials is basically given the kiss of death… They moved Mahiru from beside him and put Mikan where she was, so I think Mikan is also a goner. If I continue with this train of thought though, I think it means Mahiru is going to live.
I love Mahiru so I'm happy with this assumption, but Hiyoko is my all-time favorite DR character & I really really wanted an arc for her n Mikan where their relationship is a lot like the one from the DR3 anime, where Hiyoko is less of a bully and more like the "tsundere" archetype towards her.
It's also possible Saionji is a blackened and if we assume the Mioda crew includes the Twilight Syndrome girls I think she's the most likely to be the culprit because they're pushing Ibuki so hard. I don't think they'll do a repeat killer so I honestly don't see Mikan being it, and if I'm assuming Mahiru will live then Hiyoko's gotta be it. That's just if referencing the Twilight Syndrome girls tho.
The execution everyone thinks is for Ibuki could very well be for Hiyoko, with Monokuma subjecting her to like a modern style of dance or just a less traditionally japanese one to humiliate her. Idk I could totally see Monokuma making her hit the crip walk before he executes her.
While I don't want to say for sure that Ibuki isn't the first culprit, I think it's more likely that someone she's close to is a culprit and she doesn't want to believe it (if she isn't intentionally covering for them)
Wow, maybe my videogame reboot theory actually has some legitimacy
While I’m not surprised about repeated victims, I just don’t think anyone (besides Nagito potentially) will die in the same chapter they died in during the original scenario
16:06 If I see that slot machine land on Ibuki's face and it says correct I'm done playing
Oh you think Ibuki should have more time and you love her, Kodaka gonna be like that just awoke my sleeper agent.
They might be referring to Teru Teru’s mom. 6:00
