Holy shit, this is the most poorly adapted case along with the first one.
By the end of the last episode, there was a TON of stuff still missing, so I thought half of this episode would be investigation. Instead, they finished it in 30 seconds then went to the trial, where many elements were simply asspulled on the last moment.
I'd say about 40% of the content was removed and some evidences were rendered useless.

That's lame,it should have been more this : Kirigiri want to stalk Naegi so she pick lock his door with Monokuma's consent and just stand there watching Naegi's drooling sleeping face for hours until 3AM before she finally get down to less important business like revealing the 16th student.


I like to think that that is what actually happened, heh heh heh.

That doesn't sound interesting at all. "Get me back" somewhat implies that Sakura, and possibly all of the other students, are not actually dead. Stories like this should have a bittersweet ending, not a happy one.

That's not what it meant, don't worry. It'll be revealed soon, I think it's in the next episode.

I'm glad Asahina didn't end up doing it, or that would have been super typical.

Good episode, nice pace. I did see Asahina or Sakura as the culprit as best possible conclusion. Seeing how the debate pointed the blame towards one character after another, was fun, though it would have been interesting to investigate these scenarios prior to the class trial. The anime should really have shown all clues back in episode 8.

Tamura said:

Yes this could have been really useful when pointing out possible culprits. From an anime only point of view I really couldn't suspect Fukawa, Togami or Hagekure at all, because of the lack of evidence. I later found out the magazine contained Fukawa's name written in blood (Hagekure's poor attempt to frame someone else for "killing" Sakura). This little piece of information could have made the guessing game much more interesting because it proved some of the invited persons were somehow involved in this case, messing with the crime scene.


The locker was there all a long so I did suspect someone might had been hiding inside at some point. Fukawa hiding fits her personality well, so it was fun to watch.

I must admire the strong friendship between Asahina and Sakura. I understand that she wanted revenge for her best friend, though it was the misunderstandings and mostly Monokuma's involvement that drove Asahina into a wrong discussion. Sakura's sacrifice must not be in vain and hopefully the remaining students will be more collaborative from now on. Of course, the presence of the 16th student will bring back the despair soon enough.

Also the death of Alter Ago was a surprise, though I didn't like it as much as the real Chihiro. Of course Momokuma knew about the PC all along, fufufu.

I cannot comprehend your failure to see how the characters come to identify with the computer as their old friend because the AI, made by this old friend, was so close to the person.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

This episode was quite surprising
didn't think that Sakura would commit suicide
this was heartbreaking, and the way asahina cried and acted as if she was the culprit :'(
Monokuma surprised me when he destroyed Alter Ego
didn't think of that, but exactly as i thought, he knew about that program all along
Sakura's will was HEARTBREAKING, she killed herself to stop the fighting
I wonder how did Kirigiri find out about the 16th high schooler
which really did surprised me, it seems those few coming episodes will be so exciting judging by what the 16th schooler is proffesional at
Kirigiri did say that he is the "Super Duper of Despair"
That thing really does excite me
I wanna know what Monokuma is gonna do next :$
Can't wait for the next episode :D !

I cannot comprehend why you don't understand that it's natural to grieve over the fact that one of your strongest keys to escaping a life-or-death situation was destroyed. Made by someone who they considered their friend at that.

I guess you must really not like animes where the main characters or the main love interest is AI or a robot? Alter ego was a friend and their new hope at uncovering the secrets behind the whole thing. I guess the anime skipped some of the bonding feeling for AE; in the game they had more bonding time (and we knows what happens to anyone else that gets a lot of screentime...) Alter Ego even pointed out that it knew the high risks of being caught but personally wanted to take it to try to save them all, because they're Chihiro's precious friends and therefore Alter Ego's friend as well.

Great episode. I can't wait to see the final chapter of the show next week. Seeing as they left a hefty 4 episodes to render this, it should be satisfying as an adaptation.

One of Sakura's lines this episode is quite distracting however. In the game Sakura says something along the lines of "even in my death, I will have my revenge against the headmaster". The anime left out the upper half so it feels like this revenge is unrelated to her death evidently, which will not be the case.

Poor Sakura. I'm saddened that she had to sacrifice herself.
Well, their bodies have been altered ..? What Sakura's last sentence meant? Who is the mastermind? Who is the 16th student? Is Naegi gay? ..

All these questions popping out after every episode, damn.
I'm not that fond to the characters (Except Togami and Ishimaru), but I really like the setting, it continues to be thrilling and exciting.

Hmm, they skipped over a lot of evidence like the magazine and the order of bottles. Overall not a bad adaptation though. Especially Asahina's emotions were very clear. ;_;

They're going fast! They've already 'revealed' the name of the 16th high schooler. Guess they'll at least do the last case justice. I hope...

Welp, guess that makes sense. Dojo= honourable student= commit seppuku to preserve honour. Sakura, she fights dies for her friends.

Aoi got hit pretty hard for this whole episode. I thought it was her at first, but she just intended to get everyone killed? Wow. Talk about nothing to lose.

And Kyouko will put her hands on anything. She still doesn't have a tag right? She looks like she'd fit the role of "Super High School Detective" perfectly. And how the hell did she find out the name AND tag of the 16th student? She also acted strangely when they found out about the history of the school.

Can't wait to see what lies beyond these Class Trials.

Er, some people seem to have the wrong idea. Sakura didn't commit suicide out of despair or honor or anything like that. It was specifically to fulfill the conditions to save the students at her dojo. Monokuma's deal was that if she doesn't kill someone he will kill the hostages. So Sakura fulfilled the deal by killing someone-herself.
