AzuStar said: Yeah, my build up was referring to the whole story always mentioning this specific event. I was really hyping this but I think they managed it poorly. There was no actual build up in the episode it actually happens. When it came up, it was like "Ok this happened. Let's move on." It would have been so much better if they had dedicated at least 2-5 minutes to the student council or something...if the build up was for the student council massacre then i guess i understand your feelings. Most i could get from it is that about a dozen anime looking character designs got the crazy eyes on a Wednseday. though, i feel like there wasn't build up for this scene. (i will say that some of the deaths were creative atleast) We don't actually see *that* video (which was probably used to slightly brainwash them with what Junko learned with Mitarai, making it easier for them to kill each other). They just drop us in the middle of these characters to suddenly start killing each other. No emotional attachment whatsoever. The only cool part was the couple. That took, what, 10 seconds? Imagine if they had cut 2-5 minutes from the rest of the episode and used it to make us care for the council? Heck, Chiaki wasn't even there... But I think my biggest problem is the fact that Kodaka went with the easy way with Kamakura by not making him kill anyone (aside from the guy he killed in self defense). Making it this easy after so much story feels like a let-down. The fact no one actually died makes Kamakura redeeming himself too easy (unless he actually ends up killing Chiaki out of "malice"/despair) and shifts almost the entire blame to Junko, which is stupid in my opinion. The point of Kamakura (up until this episode) was that it's a mistake made by Hajime and Hope's Peak, which was an inhumane project even before Junko stepped in. Shifting so much of the blame to Junko ruins the fact that I expected Hajime (and Hope's Peak too, but that's already destroyed) to actually cope with his mistake instead of just being "Junko was 99% of what was wrong. The rest/me was only 1% so it's fine. Everything would have played out perfectly if not for her." (They obviously won't make it this direct but if they really go the way they hinted at with this, that's pretty much the main point.) Pretty cheap in my opinion... Hopefully next episode will be better since WE'LL (hopefully) FINALLY SEE OTONASHI AND YASUKE ANIMATED. |

| Hm.... Again the Animeception thing was hinted. Like the Symbol on the screen was the backruond for Komaeda in the OP scene. And the THE END was the THE END of the Anime titel we watch. So here is the thing. Junko grabbed Mitarai and kiddnaped him + Mikan. She will use him and his skills for a purpose.....the question is when? And the biggest thing is Mitarai didnt even need to be RoD to be a puppet of Junko. "sigh" i really hope this is not Animeception. We have 5 episodes left. The last episode doesn't count because this SideDespair episode will be the last episode for the whole series. So it wouldn`t make sense to show us after the "final" conclusion in the Future Arc again the past of something we all saw/know. So the end will be something unexpected and most likely a ironic twist of Kodaka`s side. Well we still need the NeoWorldProgramm, Junko`s Boyfriend, Chiakis final conclusion and how the 77th class fall into despair. The censor thing kinda annoyed me for obvious reasons. "sigh" But it was well executed :P^^ Kinda drastic. The episode was okayish........ I think the biggest problem is everyone is waiting for the big twist because we have no idear at the moment. Ofc there are theory`s and several important and obvious hints towards something big. For both FutureSide and DespairSide. |
| After seeing the subs, I have to agree with BluexMage. The beginning was fantastic, but the part with the student council was incredible rushed. I mean, I should have expected this after Episode 3 and Twilight Syndrome (is still one of the best episodes, but obviously a 2-episodes-made-into-1 job), but c'mon now: "We're the Student Council!" "Kill each other" "Okay" I didn't like how Future Episode 7 ended and how they handled the episode itself (it should have been half Komaru and Toko, half the killing game and then have it end in the next episode) but the finale of this episode wasn't very good either. Hopeman's and Junko's fanservice were great though. |
| Pretty harsh dirty joke in the first part, but the second half is unbearable. HUAAAA!! GO AWAY FROM 77th class, Junko! I'm surprised chiaki wasn't the participant of the firstly killing game. Srsly ppl shouldn't theorized this in the first place. I wonder if they become ultimate despair because of mitarai's brainwashing animation, and how chiaki might manage to escape junko's analitic ability. Reserve course students's [except hajime] "parade" excellently explained there. Junko showed despair to izuru. And according to his analitic ability, izuru even didn't try to escape. Juuzo still a gay~ |

| That got really brutal but felt a bit rushed. They're reasons for killing each other felt stupid. That ending got me hyped! Everything has gone to shit! She deserved better ;_;  |
 |
| Fantastic. I was hoping to see the first mutual killing, but holy shit that was very disturbing. Excellent episode. Love all those Junko moments <3 You never fail me babe. |
| ah~ smell of evangelion: 2.0 you can (not) advance ah i wish they hurry up with last part danganronpa rule you can't suicide |
| Into the Internet! |
| That entire scene..... Holy shit, that was intense... Like, I feel the despair from here...... And poor Mitarai and Mikan are stuck with this chick, I feel so sad for them... My only problem would probably be that this scene from the novel wasn't adapted into the anime as it should: Other than that, amazing episode..... |

All hail the Almighty Funyarinpa!... Wait, what do you mean you don't know what it is?! How DARE you! SAY you're sorry!!! APOLOGIZE TO THE FUNYARINPA! ______________________________________________________________________________________ |
| HOLY SHIT. The murder massacre was brutal, I didn't expect so much gore, I cringed a bit ;__; despair everywhere though I agree that the student council didn't need that much convincing...unless Mukuro killing one of them did the trick or sth. THE BANANA AND DONUT INUENDO, I LMAO THERE X'DDD Also...MIKAN AND IMPOSTOR KABEDON and KOMAEDA NAKEEEEEED ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) I'm so glad Chiaki didn't die, but jesus...Junko manipulating everything saying it was Izuru who killed everyone is MADNESS. I'm liking Ryota more and more now but I can't help thinking he'll be the traitor in Mirai-hen...I mean, he literally said his anime could brainwash people and he had to show it to JUNKO...Welp, sorry bro, your anime is probably going to be used in a way that causes DESPAIR. Wonder if this whole anime thing will be kinda like the second game where we learn, by the end, that it was all really a game? Will this also be solved by saying it was all just an anime...? I really hope not. |
| That was seriously disturbing |
 » Escapism. |
| Well, those deaths were pretty brutal. I honestly don't have much to say, to be frank I feel like this was one of the weaker episodes. Junko provided a lot of fun moments, as did the brief moments with the cast of Danganronpa 2, namely the banana/doughnut scene but overall felt a bit rushed, like others had say. We saw more of Nagito than I would've liked and also not enough of him. |

| Into the Internet! |
| That Junko fanservice... Oh what am I talking about, Junko being on screen is fanservice on its own. And that Komaeda fanservice... Lol. Entire time everyone was killing each other, I was wondering where Chiaki was. Thank goodness she safe... still. |
| I sat down to watch this episode thinking it would be so-so,BUT BOIII WAS I WRONG!! I clicked start and from the end of the OP until the last second this episode had me enthralled. I inhaled and when I realized I was exhaling the episode was over. I feel like an empty husk right now, from the student council ordeal. The end of Hope's Peak is nigh, and I feel dependency to this show right now. I simply cannot put into words this masterpiece of an episode. It does what this series sets out to do, launch the world into despair. This episode has most definitely launched me into despair... |
| Best episode yet. God damn, they just keep rising the bar. That killing scene was amazing, and Mukuro singing was hilarious. The scene with the SDR2 characters was great too, Gundham, Saionji and Teruteru were great. I'm really liking Junko now. I did not expect this. Thanks, Despair-hen. |
 |
| Wow can't they at least introduce all of those student council students first before kill them with gory deaths? I want to at least know the hoodie girl's name.. RIP ;( That last death of the guy done by the chainsaw tho... Ouch. Uncensored version when? Despair-filling episodes indeed. Best Despair Arc episodes so far. Rushed, but it expressed most of things it wants to tell, so don't really mind. It really reminded me a lot of Corpse Party and Another for some reason. I guess |

Karrwin said: Third, how are ryota and ??? officially shsl animator and shsl impostor at the same time? If ryota received the invitation but ??? got in his place, how is ??? having his title on his introduction screen then? Is ??? an older student? How are the classes complete then? Or is this just hope's peak staff being awesome to be able recognize them both? If so how are they not able to see junko's real talent, even though junko is playing with them so directly? Again I am not saying that these are plot holes or anything, it just isn't explained very well by this point. I think ??? supposed to be in the 78th class originaly, but since the real Byakuya was going to enroll in the school he had to switch places with someone (Ryota) to keep his disguise. |
| Junko did more to expose the crimes of HPA by sending out that mass e-mail than Jin, Tengan, Kizakura, Munakata, Chisa, and Juzo combined Thank you, Junko |
 |
| not sure how i feel about this episode felt like it should of been spread across 2 episodes and this Mutual game... i know it was the first one so it was suppose to be really messy but geez i kinda got a sick feeling watching that, something about the DR series that does murder in a more "for lack of better words" light hearted way there's some charm to it so watching that made reminded me of like battle royal or corpse party ...at least the blood was still pink. |
 |
| Hearing Tsubasa wo Kudasai play kept reminding me of the last few episodes of Assassination Classroom. How fitting. |
 |
| One of the better episodes yet. Unlike some other people, I can't see this episode as rushed at all. We had only 2 main events this episode: Mitarai's anime and the killing. We LITERALLY had no reason to need to know who each of the student counsel members were because the event is the important part. In fact, if the killing game was a full episode that would probably feel too stretched out. The fact that the whole killing happened so quickly that nobody knew what was what made it more intense. |

Manecleis said: What 'shocked' me in this episode is that I believed Nanami was one of the members of the student council (wasn't she elected or something in the first few episodes?), and I thought she was going to get killed there. I'm still sure she's going to die somehow, but every scenario I can think of is even more gruesome than what I originally anticipated. So she's in for a cruel fate... She was appointed as class representative, but that doesn't make her a part of the student council. It's a misconception from what I got out of google that those two are related. Zapredon said: Junko is as crazy as usual.Why does the student council kill each other aside from the fact being threaten by Junko, especially the girl who first killed the guy holding shotgun. Is it because she afraid her secret get out? She said it herself. She got blackmail on them, apparently money too, plus hostages [the picture of the glasses's girl mother tied up in a chair.] Also, when they said that they weren't going to kill each other Murako killed one of them. And pretty much sent the message that unless they listen to what they said the rest of them were next. Then the little guy with the plushies actually tried to get them to try killing Junko and Murako but glasses girl killed him. That started the madness.. AzureAceYT said: This episode... THIS fucking episode... The Tragedy was fucked up, we knew that. But this is much worse than what I thought it would be..." I know... I was expecting it to be bad since it caused a lot of things, but still I was not prepared for that... SKP138 said: As each week goes by, my anxiety of finding out what happens to Chiaki grows more and more. Same here... "Will this episode be her 'turn' to go?" is something that has been in my mind ever since Junko made her appearance... Kodaka likes plot twist though! Maybe they will surprise us and she will live...

In fact, if the killing game was a full episode that would probably feel too stretched out. The fact that the whole killing happened so quickly that nobody knew what was what made it more intense. Agreed! While I would like to know the names of some of them, I didn't actually want to see it on scree. The fact that they straight out murdered each other made it more brutal in my opinion. I do hope the official site uploads files on them though... Think of the trouble the poor animators went through to make the character designs you know.. Let people appreciate them without all that hot pink blood... It's just their position in the student council plus their name! The one in focus says "Student council's secretary" Something Karen. My guess is that their individual blackmail was store there, sine we see the girl with the glasses eyeing it and then a photo of a woman tied to a chair gagged and starts killing people saying "My mother... My mother..." |

Honestly the only way I can see her surviving is she also falls to despair. And if she was assumed dead it might explain who is behind Monokuma in the Future Arc. |
| Oh god plz no 2 much 4 me. |
| I gotta disagree with people calling the killing game rushed or lacking buildup. imo it just seemed really spontaneous and casual, yet obviously planned thoroughly, on Junko's part, which totally fits her character. I also thought we got a pretty good idea of what kind of people the student council were just from how they acted. |

taynis said: RYOUTA BEING TRIGGERED BECAUSE OF ANIME MADE ME LAUGH SO MUCH OMG HAEUIHAUIEHAIUEHAIEHIAUEAIHEIUAHEIUHUAIHEIUH Dude, what if Ryota's anime was involved in 77th class becoming despairs? Maybe Mikan was used as an experiment? Lolll that Ryota scene was amazingg. You teach Junko the beauty of anime!! And he did ;DD Except...What my sister noticed while watching the video is that Junko probably did learn how to brainwash people after Ryota explained his anime techniques. And like u mentioned...we both thought, "what if she brainwashed the remnants of despair..." Hmm~ an interesting thought haha that we both thought of so maybe it's possible :o |
| I also thought that Kamukura would be more badass than this, but this is showing that maybe he is a victim to despair, not a despair inducer like Enoshima and Ikusaba. If that's the case, there is a chance Kamukura is a ''good guy'' now in Mirai-hen (with the theory that Hinata and his personality merged at the end of SDR2). I think all this conversations between Sakakura and Yukizome are a hint that maybe Sakakura is going to kill Munakata in Mirai-hen, if it's true that he killed Yukizome and that he's the one on rampage. Also, do you think Zetsubou-hen will reveal who is the mastermind? |
| Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect. |
| Anime will cause The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History lol Thanks Japanimation, you ruined everything |
| So, I don't think the first killing game was that rushed. Of course we get these characters with really cool designs and personalities and we want to know more about them, but that was never the intention of the anime anyway. If it was a bunch of blue people nobody would care, probably XD And the first game was like a demo version, so it was supposed to be short, I guess, like a Battle Royale. As for the motives, first one of them asks if "those videos were real", so I guess Junko blackmailed them to come to the building and then she showed more motives, like the mother of one of them tied up in a chair. We didn't get to see the others motives, but I guess we can get the gist of it XD Aaaaaand, if they refused to kill each other Mukuro would kill them, she even managed to kill one in front of them. After that just madness. About Izuru. Well, he is not that innocent too. With his abilities he could have stopped that anytime, but he was there to see what despair has to offer and I guess he got what he wanted. I'm pretty sure he even predicted that Junko could use him the moment he looked at the camera and he was probs okay. I thought it is nice they are portraying him more complex than I though he would be :O @EarlCiel Right? I think she is going to use it together with her manipulative skills. First the manipulation and then the final blow would be the brainwashing. Poor Mikan is probably going to be the first victim :( And probably going to brainwash those Reserve Course students to commit suicide :o LOL Ryouta was amazing! I think he is one of my favorites of the new characters! |

| Hi cenSOREship, haven't seen you in a while. Aww yizzz, shit just got real. Even Komaeda's butt became real. ~~~~~~Can't wait for the mass suicide~~~~~ |
All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |
| I never really like the whole "Students Instantly Become Insane Killers" thing. In things like Another or Grisaia, it always feels unrealistic and just for the shock value and to be twisted. People don't just become insane, sadistic murderers within fifteen minutes -_- . It felt really unnatural and incredibly rushed. |

kaimax said: Angry_Always said: it always feels unrealistic and just for the shock value and to be twisted.. Lol complaining about something being unrealistic in Dangan Ronpa... There's a difference between a universe being unrealistic and characters being unrealistic. For example in Another it's unrealistic that a ghost would haunt and cause the death of a class of students but that's just how the universe is and the students react to it realistically up until a certain episode. In Danganronpa, there are especially, almost supernaturally talented people and also insane believers in the joys of despair. That's the universe. Most of the characters are believable, perhaps not in personality (Sakura, Gundam) but in how they react to things. The characters' reactions to the killing game we see in the original anime adaption is much more believable then 'they all go insane in 5 minutes and lose any semblance of their former character'. |

Hmm~ an interesting thought haha that we both thought of so maybe it's possible :o But then why didn´t Naegi explain that to the Future Foundation? In Mirai-hen flashback it is shown he finds Izuru, and then there is a close up shot of 2 flowers in the same room, probably put by Izuru. For someone who is a member of Ultimate Despair, that detail seems useless. He was most likely never influenced by Junko (by the hints we are given in this episode), so he could have explained the real situation of the other members of the despair faction. But it seems no one is aware of that? Shimai_ni said: I think all this conversations between Sakakura and Yukizome are a hint that maybe Sakakura is going to kill Munakata in Mirai-hen, if it's true that he killed Yukizome and that he's the one on rampage. Also, do you think Zetsubou-hen will reveal who is the mastermind? His character detail´s say he is the head of the Special Crime Investigation Unit in the Killer Killer manga (I haven´t read it yet, though), and yet, in the Mirai-hen side he looks so oblivious to all the situation, he just follows Munakata and tries to kill Naegi and cia. Hell, he even gave away his Forbidden Action so easily.... BubblyHunter said: Same here... "Will this episode be her 'turn' to go?" is something that has been in my mind ever since Junko made her appearance... Kodaka likes plot twist though! Maybe they will surprise us and she will live... I need some confirmation on this, but is there any hint that she was real in the real world besides Zetsubou-hen? Because, if the theory about Mitarai creating this story is a fact, then he could have easily recreated Chiaki and inserted her in the story. |
