There are exactly two panels in the manga that imply the aunt told her. The anime seems to have missed them

Sweet ep, and that was the most Danganronpa death I've seen, outside of Danganronpa. Massive plus points for not obscuring the face, and especially the eyes on the corpse.

Can't trust a kiss, ever, it's the reddest of flags.
If Shio is in any way fine with this, her and Satou are worth each other and can go die in one big, loving, marriage themed fire.

Unlike most anime with yanderes, I was genuinely excited to see Satou murder her only friend.

It was just built well and I was waiting for her to strike, and boy was the payoff great when she did.

A good episode with an excellent ending.

Things are going to get interesting now, however.

This "Messy Murder" by Satou is certainly the beginning of the end.

Her friend was not some homeless orphan, she had a family, people waiting for her to come home.

And now that she isn't, all hell is going to break loose, especially with that photo, and the blonde guys suspicion once he notices she is missing.

Satou killed the wrong girl.

GG Shouko and RIP.
Jeez that death scene though.
Satou killed her slowly and it was sad to look. :(

Thanks to that scene, I didn't feel sleepy now. (^^^)

Looking forward to see Shio's reaction in the next episode and also the development that Shio's brother has a clue to his long-time search for Shio.

I knew that she was playing with fire but holy mother of madness, that was gruesome and horrible.

As an anime-watcher, I felt sick watching that scene.

this show....good news now is there isn't anyone left for me to care about thought she might've been targeted after her first big screw up and satou saying she needs to get rid of everyone and she continued to play with fire so pretty much everyone knew it was the end once she saw them.


really is the beginning of the end and no one should get a happy ending not in this story

I almost felt bad for Shouko but then I remembered, she was kinda hypocritical, after rejecting Satou bcoz she realized how half assed she is, Satou gave her a chance, ofc that was Satou's plan to rattle Shouko's resolved and realized how half assed she is, but fact of the matter is Satou gave her so many chances to not get involved so in a sense Satou unintentionally cared for her

EDIT: WTF people are saying Shouko is best girl?

Hell naw, she was hypothetical, half assed of a friend, Satou was right not trusting her

I totally agree that Satou did not want to kill her and because of the imminent situation, Satou felt that she was forced to.

Although, I still don't get why she didn't KO / Tie her up, killing her best friend is SUPER low, even for Satou

Fantastic.. too often anime, and to a lesser extent manga, try to sugar coat and soften stories and scenes to appeal to wider audiences, but I am so glad this was not the case here. Although I understand the reasons for doing so, I feel that it cheapens the story and its portrayal, and the real gravity and impact of the actions that Satou takes are best shown uncensored.

The foreshadowing was fantastic, the build-up was fantastic, and the eventual execution (haha) was fantastic. Haven't felt this satisfied after an episode in a while!

Crazy Yandere's gotta do what Crazy Yandere's gotta do... if anything, she stayed pretty true to the character that the story has been building her to be.

Then what after the KO/Tie up? If the memory cannot be wiped, something gotto be done to her. Also the apartment is the only "Castle" for Satou and Shio, she just can't hide anyone alive inside.

And do what with her afterwards? Where are you going to put her? Who's going to watch her when Satou's away? Shio? If she managed to escape, she's alone with Shio. Too risky.

Also, wouldn't call her Satou's friend. She never saw Shouko as one. Not like Shouko acted much like one these last few episodes anyway.

She could have hidden her inside the abandoned, blood stained room.

It doesn't matter if her memories cannot be wiped, as long as she is kept inside the house.

I think it would be a much more realistic alternative than killing your best friend, especially the way she did it.

But maybe I'm also being bias because I usually don't watch murder mystery type anime like this, just not used to this insane girl x girl violence, I usually stick to MOE type anime.

I liked how she got rid of the copy cat girl by pretty much scaring her away with a kiss and a threat, no violence needed.

But this was just batshit crazy

So with Shouko inside that room and have the potential to make noise, Satou cannot continue her life and left Shio inside the house alone anymore... no matter how I think about it, it just won't work. Also unlike the teach, the cafe manager and Suu Chan, the threat of Shouko is directly related to Shio and that's why Satou became ruthless.

RIP Shouko

-I would have liked to have known what was being said during that last conversation instead of having a damn song played over it.

-If Satou really believed the police were coming, that should have stopped her from killing Shouko I would think. Her best move with that assumption should have been to pack up and leave town with Shio asap.

-I'd like to know the circumstances of how Shio became separated from her mother in the first place

She wasn't concerned that the police were coming, she was concerned that she was going to tell the police about Satou if she walked out that door.

RIP Shouko. You and Asashi are my favorite characters and you died in the same episode you became canon. Honestly, I don't give a shit about Satou now. I hope she gets found out & arrested. Glad Shouko managed to at least send that message so she didn't die in vain. I'll continue watching but only to see what happens to Asashi, the only other likeable character.

Seriously, you think she'd tie her up and lock her up? What good would that do? You'd have to feed her which cuts into the expenses of a single high school girl providing for two, and she'd be holding a potential witness if she were to ever get caught.

Did any of you watch the episode where she gouged out the eyes of those two men in the park, because if you did then this really should have been no surprise. Satou's doesn't take things lightly, she's incredibly straight to the point and that's been a consistent aspect about her character since episode 1.

Also may I remind everyone that you're watching an anime with a yandere as the main character? Of course the anime is going to be full of crazies, otherwise what challenge or conflicts would a sane, level-headed cast of characters bring to the story? Shouko's character being the only "sane one" represents the stability that's been precariously maintained throughout this story so far despite all the conflicts that have been brought up. Her death as everyone else has stated IS the turning point where that fragile stability falls in on itself, it's a symbol that portrays heavy emphasis and meaning onto the story as a whole. This wasn't some needless death for the sake of drama, this was planned and intended from the start for this reason.

Think about it. Why would there even be a sane character like Shouko in an anime full of crazies? Because she was created for just this one scene. If not then Shouko would have served no real importance in this story - she would have been written off as a filler character that served only to conveniently put the camera on Asahi Koube's character from time-to-time. It's her death that gives her relevance that takes her from the sidelines to the spotlight and gives her purpose and meaning. I understand when "x" character dies people are going to get real moody, but unlike a lot of unnecessary anime deaths Shouko's was the result and victim of excellent writing and story development. To me that is what made her character as well as this series better as a whole. To put it another way if she had not died in the story she probably wouldn't have been in it at all.

It's too bad that Shouko died, but it was unavoidable. At least she had some character development before dying. It's also great that it served as a great plot device to progress the story.

Well... I think almost all of us knew at the beginning that Shouko was gonna die at some time in the story. She was the only somewhat normal character in the entire story. Usually when a normal character(not main) is stuck with a bunch of insane people who can kill, that character ain’t gonna last long. It’s an obvious death flag. Once the song started to play... I knew she was a goner. I had really hoped that she would live.

I shoulda expected her death but for some reason my heart feels terrible. Literally. It feels like something is weighing it down. Well let’s see if the yandere lesbian pedophile can survive.

Damn, what an episode this was!

Shouko certainly didn’t deserve to die, much less in such a gruesome manner. Satou did what she had to do, and it was legit creepy. I wonder how the little Shio will take all this though since the stains of blood on Satou will probably give it away. I knew Shouko would’ve to die at the hands of Satou at some point, espeically more so once the brilliant insert song kicked in, but again, bloody insane!
More importantly, what now? Looks like Shio’s brother has got the picture, so I’m assuming it’s only the beginning of the end for Satou’s Happy Sugar Life. Really curious to see how it all plays out. On another note, looks like Satou’s aunt and the policeman did get along (sexually?) after all, but I’m pretty sure she’s also the one who told Shouko of Satou’s room.

Hype! Can’t wait to see how this all ends! I’m pretty sure Satou is going to be up for imprisonment or the sort, but I’d love to see how it all plays out from here.

The moment Shio-chan jumped outside of the door, I had no doubt that someone will see them. Because it always happens that way in anime. And the moment I saw it was Shouko, I had no doubt that she was going to be killed. Because, the Satou-chan I knew up to that point would definitely kill anybody who has even a tiny possibility of spoiling her life with Shio-chan.

But I don't understand, exactly at which moment, Shouko was able to send that message to Asahi? If she sent it while she was still outside, was she lying to Satou-chan all the time inside the house about not going to the police or about how she was her best friend?


If you Compare the Image that Asahi got and the image made by Shouko-Chan at that point, they are different. Is would mean that the picture was made right when shio-chan Jumped out that door and then sent to Asahi.

Also, it does seem that by Shouko-Chan's Attitude and the picture that was sent to Asahi, it was kinda obvious that she lied. There's no other explanation.

Anyways, I knew she was going to die because I accidentally clicked a 'Show Spoiler' Button On the last Episode Forum. And I Knew ever since that the Police Guy was going to Come Back in the Future for More :)

And I also thought it was the Cheating Sensei who was going to catch her. Man I was so wrong.

What I don't get is why Shouko didn't run away, she was standing there for like a half a minute before Satou grabbed her.. Sure, she would have been chased but her chances are better to survive out in the open where Satou can't just act crazily like she wants.

The other I didn't get was how Satou killed, I mean, she had Shouko in a perfect pose, there was absolutely no need to get so bloody with the knife when she could have just suffocated her...

Yeah, she was not chaotic evil but she was very selfish in her own kind of way. She had thousand chances to let it go, but she just couldn't. Satou is cruel, but she was not a saint either.

I think Shouko was actually being sort of hypocitical with Satou, since taking and sending the picture to Asahi could potentionally ruin her friend's happiness. Despite beleiving or trying to beleive that she has changed, she remained indecisive until the end, since she wasn't able to firmly choose between Satou or helping Asahi, and this indecisiveness ended up killing her. At least that's what I infer after reflecting a bit. I guess I liked the manga chapter better, but the song was a nice touch.

I read the manga and the Anime did a much better job executing Shoko's death scene. No pun intended. I felt sad when she died in the manga but damn, hearing her struggle with blood and tears pouring out of her was also a struggle for me. I watched some YouTube reactors and one of them even cried because he felt sorry for Shoko.

I was all aboard the Shoko x Asahi train too. Shoko is more experience and would have taught him so much. Their dynamic was so cute.

Mitsuboshi still a creep, I feel sorry for him because he was raped several times and locked up in that fucking awful manager's closet. If anyone deserves to die, it's that manager and perhaps their teacher and yes, Satou. However, Satou is smart and she'll find a way.

Liked seeing the police's cap next to the hottie auntie. In the manga, she only mentions him coming back but that image hints that he did come back for more.
