Quick explanation on the glass ball thing. I'll put it on spoilers.


I hope this could add some more to your theories. :) Again, if you don't want to look at it, just don't click the spoiler. I only elaborated the evidence inside, don't worry.


what ? now i'm more confused than ever... otaku dude is involved in this ? damn, I need to think about this, it will take some time

Dude. You are getting ahead on yourself. They will be explained during the Class Trial. Don't make it to influence other's speculation.

Comparing it to the game, investigations took more depth than the anime but only during the Class Trial will make brains crackin' with a lot of new information/evidence. It is not only Naegi who did the investigation by himself after all.

All your imagination and deduction skills are going to waste! I really think you should play the game instead. Your deduction skills are so much more amazing than the peeps at GameFaqs showing off how they were able to see events happening with just a single piece of evidence and by following Japanese tropes and patterns. So god damn creative.

He's just the one that does have the key to the incinerator. You're not supposed to be able to access to the incinerator without the key because there is a fence thee. But as you can guess it will be a little more complicated.

Jesus fudge why the hell are these main characters always so god awful at explaining?

"We attended the same junior school together called _________. She came to me because she said she heard the doorknob clatter in her room. I told her it would be alright, since no one is allowed to break curfew, but she was still concerned as she thought it was only a verbal agreement. I told her she should stay in my room for the night, but it got a little awkward, so we instead decided to switch rooms. After staying in her room for the night, I headed straight to the planned meeting location."

I could say all that in 20 seconds flat. It might not entirely help the situation, but its better than standing there being a dumbass.


You also have to keep in mind that they may have not even listened to him, considering they were all panicking over the whole "execution" business. Even if he tried to explain better, they could've dismissed it all, or even interrupted him because they thought he was lying.


Well everyone thinks he's the culprit anyway, so I don't think his situation could really get any worse than it already has, hence absolutely no harm in trying to make an honest point. Whether he be interrupted or not, the guy didn't even TRY to explain anything to them. He just took it all like an absolute dumbass.

"NO it wasn't me! It wasn't me! It wasn't me!"
Fricken say something useful! Jesus!!! - -"

The most obvious clue is the writing, which says



... but needn't necessarily have been written by the victim -- it could easily have been written by the killer to frame that person.

The crystal ball seems like an obvious connection to the psychic guy with the Shadows Fall hair.

That's the point. These are the details that the anime missed or skipped. I added it on spoiler tags just in case. So, you know, the theory-crafters could...theorize or something.

I'm starting to think the anime's set to the lowest difficulty or something. -_-

OK I can see two theories here, first one, afro dude made a prevision that someone did not like and in a rage moment this someone broke his ball, theory number two someone tried to open the fenceds by trowing the ball athe switch, possibly to get rid of evidence in the incinerator

To be honest it's really doable with the anime since this case is really easy if you keep a large view of everything. You can even guess the whole mess with Sayaka with ep1 alone. The incinerator room is the part where je anime just goddamn suck. And the sword here for self-defense, too.

I am sure the studio intended to hold other evidences/investigations for the trial. I always get the impromptu feel from the trial which Naegi doesn't need all evidences so he can take all the stage. I am sure the anime watchers will feel they are also part of the trial with new evidences/investigations that will be presented during the trial which will make their brain rolling. So I would suggest you don't get ahead so you can guide these people to the truth unless they are already presented from the anime. xDD

Dangan is a mystery, it is meant to be solved. The problem is that it is not supposed to be some wild guessing, cluesare supposed to be there,and the anime skips some parts that are needed and turns it into a matter of luck if you are not goddamn good at this.
Sometimes it's here (the numbers, the sword), sometimes it it's at all (EVERYTHING about the Janitor and how this room works). The part with the hair is another good example.

I agree with DenjaX, those who played the game should stay out of the solution discussions.

We'd see Naegi shooting literal word-evidence bullets every time he shouts "You got that wrong!".

In fact, it is REALLY doable, but you need to pay a lot of attention to something most people don't care about at all: the character's psyche and their behaviour in various scenes. You can guess most suspicious parts about "this person" with this alone actually. I guess the anime is at the very least well done about this.

haha, thanks, but I really am not that great at deducing ^^; At least there are a lot of people here who are doing a way better job than me.

I just knew for a fact that after Sayaka's mental breakdown in episode 1, she couldn't be trusted. Just because Naegi trusts her and wants to protect her, doesn't mean she won't betray or use him.

I saw her at first glance and immediately knew that she would probably be the first to snap under pressure and turn into a psychotic maniac. I'm still under the impression that you certainly shouldn't judge the characters by their looks.

The sleeve, crystal ball, incinerator thing is really throwing me off, though. I'm not going to try to think too hard about it because I can only list a thousand possibilities and still not be able to guess correctly because I feel like I'm over thinking every single detail. ;____;

My brain will definitely explodeif I try to think of the possibilities...which kind of seem endless. I kind of like the anime...so I think I'll be watching it instead of playing the game. The game certainly intrigues me, but something tells me I'll probably give in any try to play it...I don't know if I should. Should I watch the anime, or play the game?! I feel like I'll enjoy both experiences, so for now I'm going to exercise my patience and watch the anime. This'll be super hard.

IMO, the anime already fails to capture the "finding evidence and presenting them" vibe, since you're not really on the feet of the MC, Naegi. Anime's basically "just watch and see", because they didn't even elaborate on the evidences clearly.

"Guessing who is the culprit while waiting for the next ep" is better than "pseudo-suspense by skipping critical evidences related to the murder." -_-

New evidences are one thing. Skipping EVERYTHING when it comes to the incinerator, which is the
is something else. It doesn't make something harder; it makes it night impossible. It's already hard enough with fewer clues, but the incinerator room is a big problem that is needed in order to make sense.

Oh I'm not sure about that. I am giving my hopes to the better presentation on the critical evidences during the trial which will influence people's speculation. However, we are still not certain whether or not they already failed at presenting them. We have to see what episode 3 delivers. It is not really a "watch and see" series if people who put thought a lot of this show will pause and think after the new info.

I'm not saying it can't be possible. Your mileage may vary, personally, I am skeptical when it comes to human behaviour. While it is indeed possible that Maizono would do this and that as she has broken out-of-character, but so do many of the other casts of which I cannot mention. It's only that Maizono was the first or rather most blatant to have broken down. Her death only confirms that is the case.

The message was a pretext to tell the person to play the game as he/she seems be really into solving the cases. I felt it would be a much more satisfying experience by doing so. I quoted that person specifically because that person's theory was the most thorough I've read, or so I think.

Fair enough. I have to see episode 3 in order to confirm my expectation. Currently, I think the studio will present them and people will talk about it and debate over it after. In other words, more dialogues or some sort.

IMO, the anime already fails to capture the "finding evidence and presenting them" vibe, since you're not really on the feet of the MC, Naegi. Anime's basically "just watch and see", because they didn't even elaborate on the evidences clearly.

"Guessing who is the culprit while waiting for the next ep" is better than "pseudo-suspense by skipping critical evidences related to the murder." -_-
Oh I'm not sure about that. I am giving my hopes to the better presentation on the critical evidences during the trial which will influence people's speculation. However, we are still not certain whether or not they already failed at presenting them. We have to see what episode 3 delivers. It is not really a "watch and see" series if people who put thought a lot of this show will pause and think after the new info.


A good mystery/detective anime would want the viewers to theorize on what happened after a cliffhanger murder/theft/whatever. Not once will you think of skipping evidences that are critical to the events at hand, leading viewers to falsely speculate on what happened. Granted, this is the first case, and the clues are served to you nicely in a plate and can be solved even without the incinerator information, but what about the following cases?

Yeah, I know. Suspense and all that. But the anime's doing a bad job of being a detective/mystery at that.

Not saying I hate it, though. Nice to see them moving and not still images. Also, Kirigiri.

The room swap...ah yes. And how the signs on the door to the rooms were also switched. That confuses me...

All your imagination and deduction skills are going to waste! I really think you should play the game instead. Your deduction skills are so much more amazing than the peeps at GameFaqs showing off how they were able to see events happening with just a single piece of evidence and by following Japanese tropes and patterns. So god damn creative.


haha, thanks, but I really am not that great at deducing ^^; At least there are a lot of people here who are doing a way better job than me.

I just knew for a fact that after Sayaka's mental breakdown in episode 1, she couldn't be trusted. Just because Naegi trusts her and wants to protect her, doesn't mean she won't betray or use him.

I saw her at first glance and immediately knew that she would probably be the first to snap under pressure and turn into a psychotic maniac. I'm still under the impression that you certainly shouldn't judge the characters by their looks.

The sleeve, crystal ball, incinerator thing is really throwing me off, though. I'm not going to try to think too hard about it because I can only list a thousand possibilities and still not be able to guess correctly because I feel like I'm over thinking every single detail. ;____;

My brain will definitely explodeif I try to think of the possibilities...which kind of seem endless. I kind of like the anime...so I think I'll be watching it instead of playing the game. The game certainly intrigues me, but something tells me I'll probably give in any try to play it...I don't know if I should. Should I watch the anime, or play the game?! I feel like I'll enjoy both experiences, so for now I'm going to exercise my patience and watch the anime. This'll be super hard.


No, honestly, you're pretty good. Not only on the 'being right" thing; some parts of your theory are wrong. But at least they are wrong AND there is a logic, an take the character into account or just answer to small bits. (As an example, I don't remember a lot of people saying why Maizono would open the door to someone; even if it's jut as important as the murder.)

I think that you should at least try to give it a chance if you have a psp, otherwise, don't bother.
The biggest problem would be that watching the anime will spoil the game and therefore you're lose a lot of its theorizing material. but it's your call.

I highly agree on you playing the game. You'll miss out on the Nonstop Debates, Epiphany something, Climax, and Machinegun Talk Battle. :))

New evidences are one thing. Skipping EVERYTHING when it comes to the incinerator, which is the
is something else. It doesn't make something harder; it makes it night impossible. It's already hard enough with fewer clues, but the incinerator room is a big problem that is needed in order to make sense.
Fair enough. I have to see episode 3 in order to confirm my expectation. Currently, I think the studio will present them and people will talk about it and debate over it after. In other words, more dialogues or some sort.



I'm quite confident about the anime too (not about the number of episodes though) and it isn't that bad for now; they just screwed up once, which happens, it isn't too bad, I just hope that it will not happen too often, but nothing is perfect.

I really hope they extend it to 16 or 17, something like what Bakemonogatari did. Even just a web release. I really can't see this fit in 13 episodes. Heck, the first chapter is 3 episodes long -_-

I'm surprised somebody already snapped and committed a murder so early into the game.

The game creator is pretty brave to kill off these 2 female characters so early on too ,no more eye candy :<

Maizuno looks like she fought for her life before dying, judging by her broken wrist and state of the room. What I don't understand is how the killer allowed her to write her dying message, and how the burnt sleeve/broken glass ball is lying around in another part of the school.

Unless those evidence are meant to deceive the rest of the students, no killer in the right mind will be so careless and drop clues everywhere.

Watching people theorize who the culprit is is pretty fun.


It's fun trying to figure it out tbh. I like shows like these because of that. The internet and message boards make these shows 10000 times more fun.




Funny enough I am almost 100% sure I know who it is because of a second watch. Although I'm still not sure if I'm right but it has to be the person I have in mind.
