| I never got around to playing despair girls, unfortunately. I did enjoy this episode nonetheless, and I'm glad the big reveal isn't just some random character. |
| Oh lol Monaca, that Miaya was too obvious to be a traitor and now they're exposing her pretty early.... i bet there's more than one traitor. So, Tengan will die? He is a pretty badass grandpa ;_; Sakakura and Munakata are still annoying ugh. |
| Nice cliffhanger. I literally beat that game a few days ago so seeing Monaca here is really crazy and gets me really excited. I even saw someone compare her to Miaya on reddit and it turns out to be true that she's controlling her. She also looks a lot better in anime form as well. Anyways, this is just wishful thinking and I don't think it's possible but I wonder if Komaru is in the building as well and came unannounced. Who knows? Its chaotic enough to make it difficult to find everyone. Again...wishful thinking. Good episode. Great cliffhanger. This season is far superior than the 1st season in every way. I had my doubts since I wasn't a big fan of the 1st season, glad I picked this one up. Now please don't make me regret this later. |
 |
| so what was with junko appearing in the end..guess we now know who is the killer |
 |
| Best girl appears! Chairman was based in this ep, finally beating shit of Sakakura and Munakata. |
MightyM16 said: Riveon said: Spin-offs extend story and world, so of course they often canon. But they never should be important to understand main work. If they do, then that means that they are no longer spin-offs, but part of main work. And that would pretty much make this anime Danganronpa 4. AE is part of the main work, it's just not called "3" because of the different gameplay and perspective it offered Monaca is extremely relevant to the tragedy and to what Junko's plan was, she is set up as the "next Junko" at the end of AE, wanting her not to appear in the final installment of the Hope's Peak saga is basically wanting a plot hole to manifest itself So you pretty much say that the author failed math class, since your speech still doesn't explain why this anime is called "3". By logic 1->2->3 not 1->2->some other bullshit->3 Honestly, I just hope that they would somehow explain her existence here, without "go play game" route. |
| i think everyone who played despair girls (or knew abt what happens in it) called that miaya is monaca. anyways, i think they did a pretty good job mixing the cgi with the normal animation during the fight this episode. the models look pretty good. you dont really notice it that much. |
| So much action in one episode. BLESS. First of all, no one has mentioned how much of a BAMF Aoi was carrying Naegi over the stairs like it was nothing then sprinting to run away from Sakakura right afterwards. Ultimate Swimmer? She's close to being the Ultimate Athlete at this point. Ryota is so adorable. I have found a new cinnamon roll. Please don't kill him. Pls Tengan is one badass grandpa launching Sakakura like it was nothing. I'm so happy he was able to talk into some sense into Munakata, who I'm starting to understand but I still do not like. So Ruruka, Seiko and Yoi were close friends back then? And they believe they got expelled because of the other? Now I'm MORE curious as to what went down. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think expulsion wasn't given much focus in the franchise and now we have THREE of them here. I want to know what went down between those three. And lastly, MONACA?!?!?! NOOOOO!!!! To think I was actually starting to not suspect Gekkougehara anymore Kodaka does this to me. Ugggggh So many things I want to know more about. I can't wait for the next ep! |
| Well... that was an interesting ending alright |
  |
| Stop saying that everybody has to play the game to understand what's going on. I haven't played one game and I understand what's going on in the anime because everything is explained. Stop spoiling things just because you played the game and think you have to mention it everywhere (ahem... because it's NECESSARY for everyone to have played it). |
AsL said: tsubasalover said: That green hair girl that controls from behind the monitor... looks like the kimono girl from Zetsubou-hen / 2nd game... She's monaca from DR Another episode. So,monaca is the mastermind and that means that all the deaths in DR3 are Komaeda fault. Fucking Nagito,even in coma he still ruins everything.  With Komaeda, it's either you go hard or you go home |
| So, honest question about this arc: Does anyone actually EAT something? In Dangan 2, the starving situation becomes a huge plot device for the character to move forward with the killing-game, but in this time, we don't have any clue about someone being thirsty or hungry even though there's a lot of action. Also: I don't have any idea of who the hell the green-girl is. Does anyone can recommend when can I watch/read about her story? |

"Hi!" |

| Hm, I think the problem is that some people come to the forums to be salty about an anime that is targeted for who played the games. If there are people who didn't play it and still enjoy the anime, that's great. Nobody is going to make you play them. :) And about spoilers...this is kinda complicated. Like @Yehart said, this is a sequel. So, we are not exactly spoiling anything... @-@ KarasuZ said: Also: I don't have any idea of who the hell the green-girl is. Does anyone can recommend when can I watch/read about her story? Hm, maybe they will talk more about her in the anime. But I recommend the Danganronpa wikia: http://danganronpa.wikia.com/wiki/Monaca_Towa or a gameplay of DR: Another Episode. I watched Nicob's gameplay and liked it :) |
 |
| I'm actually pretty excited it is Monaca. I am pleased then that UDG worked into the story. Well I think that applies to most of the characters in this universe. Guess I should change my profile picture then. Seems appropriate now. |

| Overall good episode, I think that Monaca is probably not the main antagonist. I will leave it here. |

 Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite… A lie will remain a lie. |
| Should've figured SHE of all people would show up. As much as Monaca irritates me to no end, I actually am kinda glad that she showed up because it really wasn't clear as to what happened to her after the events of Another Episode aside from Nagito probably bringing her somewhere. ...yet, I cannot help but think Kodaka's trying to lower our guards. Welp, I should continue with DR:Zero before thursday arrives. |

| Ok Is Monaca controls Gekkogahara Is she traitor or Monokuma? |
| Sigh, Aoi survives another round against super puncher and kicker Sakakura, this isn't good for my nerves. Glad to see Munakata easing up a bit, albeit just a liiiiitle bit too late :/ Ay I knew Gekkougahara was suspicious but it still saddens me to know that she's the mastermind. Gonna have to look into Monaca since I lack the DR2 gameplay I guess to know most of this. |

| were still in ep 4 and I think theres more to it shits too fucking simple for danganronpa |
 |
| Nooo old man whyyy. That girl at the end tho... |
| Well, shit. I had hope that Gekkogahara wouldn't be Monaka because the hairstyle was super similar and it would have been obvious...oh well. I didn't expect the cyborg thing, though. Tengan was freaking awesome this episode but now he's most probably going to die ;__; UGH. Still, I wonder if Monaka is the only one behind all the killings? She IS here but I still wonder if it wasn't another person that killed everybody, that would be interesting. Anyway, good episode but not great. I'm enjoying Despair arc a bit more, tbh. Still, looking forward to the next!! |
| Now that someone mentioned it,it is kinda early for mastermind's revelation,so I'm thinking Monaca is only Monomi/Miaya's controller and she's hand-in-hand with someone else who is actually the traitor/attacker. Aaaand @ to the people who complain about spoilers: lmao,what are you even doing here if you don't know everything? You MUST know every bit of the games/novels to fully comprehend all this beautiful mess that is called Danganronpa. "hurr i don't wanna play the gamu/stop ruining my animu" Just stop. |
| I am pretty confident in my theory, I called it at the first episode, Scout is the traitor. I don't know what Monaca is. She may be acting just out of whim. Also, please kill the Boxer with fire. |

| My favourite character ended up being my least favourite? I really didn't want to believe that. And Jesus Christ guys. This is a discussion about this episode and everything that has happened TILL this episode. That includes the games. If you don't want to be spoiled of the games then there's two options: 1. Don't watch the anime before playing/reading. 2: Don't join in on a discussion about it. You're about the same level of the people reading a comment section about an episode and then complain for people DISCUSSING said episode. Learn what a spoiler is. |

Oh no not my fav :( He does give that vibe actually,but he was the only one who accused Miaya for being suspicious and I think the traitor would be somehow related to Monaca's doing,wouldn't they? |
| I'm not sure how to rate this one. On one hand, I loved the episode, so many fights and a very good analysis from Munakata about what truly is the worst outcome for this mutual killing game, but on the other... the cliffhanger killed me. The girl showed in the end seems to be a character from Ultra Despair Girls which I haven't yet played, so it was strange to see her here 'cause this was way too unexpected. I don't even know what to think about her: is she good? Doesen't seem to me, and I don't want to know anything about what she does in the game, I don't want spoilers. Guess I'll check this out in a week. Anyway, to me she's not the traitor, most likely she's the mastermind behind the killing game, using a robot-Gekkogahara to easily manipulate the hostages so that the true traitor can have an easy time doing its job. If that's true... does this mean that the real Gekkogahara is already dead? If that girl is really the mastermind, she will also be happy to see that her plan is proceeding very smoothly, everyone is fighting and KILLING each other, even Munakata who seeks true hope can't help making some sacrifices... but how's this supposed to bring hope? I don't know, I simply can't understand him, I'm without a doubt on Makoto's side. Also, episode 4 ended and still no Yasuhiro Hagakure action, is he going to be useless in this show too, just like in the game? lol So much happened in this one, it's really getting better the more it goes on, but I have only one negative thing to say for now about the show: everyone who gets a lot of focus during the episode gets killed or injured, think about it, it's almost like killing a part of the suspence. I hope I'm just terribly wrong and it's only my imagination. I've got nothing more to say, hype for the next one! |
| YESSSSSSSSSSSSS! MONACA I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR APPEARANCE HAHAHAHA!!! Man this episode was really fast paced the whole way through and just when I thought it was over BAM ENOSHIMA JUNKO'S SUPER DESPAIRING SUCCESSOR MONACA :3 I really hope we get to see her and Komaeda's backstories in Zetsubo because I was always so curious about what they did together after Ultimate Despair Girls |

| The chairman was cool. |
 |
 Tengan just took a sword that split his freakin hand in half and got impaled, but he's not acting like it... He's kind of acting like he doesn't care about being skewered, like maybe he's still an agent of despair Kirigiri inspecting Chisa's body again. And Kizakura has been left alone this whole time... Hmm... I kind of don't care about Ando, Izayoi and Seiko expelling each other and don't want to know anymore about it. Just kill each other already |

| TENGAN WHY HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUCK MONACA. |
 His hand got split in half and he doesn't care. Look at this old man not give a fuck. Not a single fuck. Then he gets impaled and he still doesn't care. I'm thinking he's still a despair agent. |
|
| Hmm, I don't think Monaka is acting alone. She is probably working together with someone at least (she IS really good at manipulating people). Scout guy is suspicious, but Ryota is too. Maybe he is going to be important plot-wise but not exactly the traitor/attacker/bad person. At the beginning Monokuma says that there are 12 survivors, but the counter shows 13. It is either counting Monoka or Hagakure, I guess. Inori_is_love said: I really hope we get to see her and Komaeda's backstories in Zetsubo because I was always so curious about what they did together after Ultimate Despair Girls Owwn, just imagine Nagito raising a little Junko wannabe xD |
|
| Oh god, the rat Monaca is here. Does this mean the robot SHSL therapist is the traitor, or is someone else the designated "attacker"? Also I wonder where the REAL SHSL therapist who helped develop Usami is - did Monaca kill her or is she alive? I'm worried about SHSL boxer pursuing Naegi and Asahina. As long as he's in the game I'm worried about her safety, and also her forbidden action is just dangerous overall. I'm really praying she lives - I don't really give a shit about "plot armor". |
| MONACA YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! |
| You are not your body, you are your brain, the "self" that emerges from within it. |
| MONAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA <333333333333 MY BABY IS FINALLY HERE!!! (The most obvious theory is correct, seriously Kodaka?) Maybe the girl who Kizakura talked about in the previous episode is Komaru, who knows. |
| OMG "Im so shy i need computer to speak" BULLSHIT I KNEW SHE WAS SUSPICIOUS FROM THE START "pitiful children are the most powerful" |
No one likes Hagakure and they know it. The highlight right here. |
 |
 Why was Kirigiri so interested in Chisa's corpse? Probably another robot or a dummy or something. |
|
| I KNEW IT!!!! I suspected that she was Monaca since the second episode! :D Man, I am so proud of myself, although it was kind of obvious xD |
