| This is my favorite episode of side future right now. I enjoyed every minute of this one and did not expect to see Monaca at all but atleast we have a good idea of how Great Gozu died. Now I'm wondering if anyone else from Another Episode will appear |
 |
 From the official website. http://www.nbcuni.co.jp/anime/danganronpa3/character/towa.html |
 |
| Can't we all just peacefully hype that Monaca is alive and well and causing more despair? ^^ |
 |
| heeaahhh?? a green enoshima? this is getting weirder by each second |
 |
 kizakura fuckin callin it |
 |
| I am hoping Tenga somehow makes it alive, but those wounds... He is pretty cool for beating both Sakakura AND Munakata. Even if he turns out to be the mastermind I think I can forgive him partly just because of that. So Monaca shows up pretty early. There was hardly any doubt that she was controlling Gekkougahara when they showed the wheelchair could climb the rocky terrain lol. Then it was sort of a given she was gonna get some screen time the moment Gekkougahara decided to stop Sakakura though. She is a true Junko follower! Coming back a live from the death and all~ |
| This conversation has finally become reality... This is my OTP |
|
Ofc you can understand what's going on duh I just said you're missing out if you haven't played the games |
 |
| It would be way to obvious if only Monaka was the traitor... |
 |
| We only saw Monaca control Gekkogahara and, at the same time, Monomi. We don't know if she is the mastermind or not, but still it would've been weird if she worked against them... Does this mean that she is the one who made Neo World Program and all? Does Gekkogahara even exist in the first place? |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |

If I remember right it was the SHSL Neurologist and Programmer and someone else who I don't remember. Just confirmed: It was the SHSL Therapist which means Gekkogahara was one of the creators |

 I suspected Gekkougahara of being Monaca the whole time! Thought it might have been too obvious but in retrospect after three games of the one you least suspect being the mastermind we were conditioned into thinking Gekkougahara was too easy and sought to suspect other people so I guess in a way this is yet another twist. I mean some people even thought Naegi was a sleeper agent. Loved Monaca's character in Danganronpa AE, she's such a screwy little demon-spawn. Didn't expect Gekkougahara to be a robot though. So we are to suspect that she's responsible for the deaths right? She's a robot so she's immune to the drug that knocks them unconscious. Why would Monaca want to make it seem as though Asahina was murdered though?.... Actually, forget that question, she's a little shit so she obviously just wanted to torment Naegi after they had their bonding moment. That's all. The Chairman is a bad motherfucker! He's so hardcore yet complains that he's too old. Just how hardcore was he back in the day? And serves Sakakura right, the brute. I know he'll be responsible for Asahina's death too and I'll hate him even more. She's tired, Naegi can't run and her weakness is being punched or kicked which Sakakura does primarily. As usual another highly enjoyable episode. A lot of people who neglected to play the games or even watch an LP because they couldn't be bothered are missing out on a lot of enjoyment because they don't know 2/3 of the story. |

|
| Now that I look closely... Gekkogahara's hair style is similar to Monaca's old hair style. And since Gekkogahara is responsible for the Future Foundation's cyber security, it would be easy for Monaca to hack the systems. |

| Monaca from the AE credits, as a reminder: |

Because this is not a game anymore, it is a survival hunt. We already know that the killer can break the rules anytime they want, by ending the game prematurely or not being affected by their forbidden action. |
Lol, It looks like she was already preparing things for this very event...I guess this was super foreshadowing then... |

Does this mean that she is the one who made Neo World Program and all? Does Gekkogahara even exist in the first place? WTF no. The real Gekkogahara is problably dead and Monaca used this to fill in the role of here to infiltrate and organize the next killing game. After all this is a almost perfect diguise. Because nobody ever heard here talking. |
trannon1 said: Monaca is the one who developed the so-called New World Program. She is also the creator of Usami. So what the hell is going on with the New World Program being used for Hope? What if there are actually bugs in the program and said bugs are causing the Ultimate Despairs who "died" in the program to return not as their old selves but as their Ultimate Despair selves? Did you even play the games or how can you come to that theory at all? |
| So, no Junko return in Mirai hen. ;-; I was hopping for her to be the mastermind. |

Her general appearance which resembles Monaca, the fact that she was wheelchair bound, didn't talk and used the Monomi AI were among the major superficial reasons I suspected her, however, last episode she claimed her NG was being unable to turn right, correct?  That would have been too much of a huge animation error. |
|
| Lol, if Monaca is controling a robot of Gekkogahara...What if Gekkogahara is alive and is the mastermind? And then she turns out to be irl Chiaki that has indeed fallen into despair, which means Chiaki don't die in the way everyone is thinking, then in the final parts of Zetsubou-hen they'll reveal that to us and make the final tie between the two animes.........Nah that's stupid...But I'll not throw that notion away just yet... |

| Ahh I didn't know this anime was related to Despair Girls too, I haven't played it yet. ;-; Just 1 and 2. |

Riveon said: MightyM16 said: 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'm saying that just because a game isn't considering a main game, it doesn't means it adds nothing to the game story AE is relevant, it always was and you just have to deal with it |
| First genuinely great episode of the future arc so far, tengan is based as fuck (but on the downside hes possibly adding to this anime's issue of killing off the likable people too fast), we got to see every single character in action, and we got the blatantly obvious mastermind out of the way really early on. Cant wait till next week. that said im gonna just go on a mostly basless limb here and say tengan actually wont die from that impaling, the guy seems retard strong and i think the fact they didnt show him die this episode might mean hes gonna survive his wounds somehow. that or ill eat shit next monday, we will see. |

That would have been too much of a huge animation error. I am impressed by your observation skills. And this proves my theory that this "game" is not like the previous game with both parties being bound by rules. Monaca obviously has no interest in following the rules. Well, unless she was just pretending her forbidden action was turning right. After all, we didn't actually see it displayed on her bracelet, it was Naegi who posited that that was her forbidden action. |

trannon1 said: Is that one sentence supposed to explain everything? The ending of DR2 was very open, since they only mentioned how Hinata and the others stayed on Jabberwock Island waiting for their "dead" friends to wake up. Time has obviously passed so there is no reason why if the Ultimate Despairs woke up, they wouldn't be in their Ultimate Despair personas. So yes, I played the game, and your answer was short and kinda stupid, since you didn't explain why you thought my theory was stupid. ??? You dont seem to understand how time and ageing works i guess. |
| Heres the real question, even if its most likley all on her, is monaca the actual mastermind behind this or was she just fucking around as a 3rd party and this is all just an unfortunate coincidence. |

| Let the theorizing begin... |
|
| I knew it, I knew it, I knew itttt! Lots of people kept on dismissing the theory that Gekkougahara was actually Monaka last week, but I couldn't overlook their similarities. As soon as I saw how similar their haircuts were and the fact that both used a wheelchair I was like, "YUP THIS IS HER." It makes sense that she's the one controlled Monomi because I really dislike Monaka as a character ((if you play the game you will understand why)), so a part of me hopes that she will get offed soon. The chances of that are slim to none, but I guess I can always hope. I want to know more about the Blacksmith's and Confectioner's backstory. They're very interesting characters for me, moreso than the Boxer and Student Council Pres. I'd love to see 500% less Boxer and more of the other side characters. Looks like next week will probably have a lot of Monaca action and another killing since the countdown is at around 30 minutes now. I think it's safe to say that the Future Foundation Chairman is pretty much dead now. He might have one more monologue and then pass next episode. I'm not really looking forward to Monaca being a crazy little demon spawn next episode, but at the very least it should be a bit entertaining. |

I don't see how... (I love her) |

trannon1 said: Yea, time and aging works like in reality when it comes to anime even though most of Ultimate Despair look the same age as when they were in Highschool and so do most of the Future Foundation. Just like how Chisa and Munakata both look like they did those years ago. You still haven't explained why my theory was stupid btw. Are you ever going to stop the one sentence answers? You make no sense dude. |

Just like how Chisa and Munakata both look like they did those years ago. Are you ever going to stop the one sentence answers? It's been around 3 years after the "Incident" started... So not changing in 2-3 years is not surprising...unless we're talking about Hiyoko... |

| Sadly this one will have to wait after I am taking in my cartoons. |
| I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon. |

They just shouldn't add anything IMPORTANT, that is needed to understand the main title. I can "deal with it" as long as they would characterize Monaca from zero, without the need of any knowledge about her past. |
