The trial seems better than the previous trials even though they changed stuff here too.

Monokuma is indeed a bastard but I still like that thing.

The 16th student is Mukuro Ikusaba, wonder where she has been all this time. I mean every student must take part in the Class Trial but Mukuro is nowhere to be seen. I don't think she is given an exception, I mean that's not fair.

And now the most noble Sakura is dead, and everyone can team together and fight Monokuma. The death of Alter Ego was not that dramatic as in the game, i guess the game made me feel closer to the Alter Ego as compared to the anime.

Just seeing them isnt a spoiler, but i guarantee you if you even try to look it up you will get the biggest spoiler in the entire series spoiled, So dont, if your really that curious ill send you a pic of her

Just think of something: So why is there a magazine that is put on the rack upside down? It never features in the trial. So it is a red herring? Or it is related to some later story? Or they simply forgot to deal with it in the anime?
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.

Sakura just saved the current students asses by breaking the chain of murders as well as in death brought together the 6 students to begin rebelling against monobear, even the guy whos been saying hes going to kill the entire series. I think you completely missed the point


Sakura's not a terrible person but I think what's trying to be said is that Sakura's plan almost got them all killed and it would have been thanks to Asahina (since Sakura didn't just straight up tell Asahina she was going to commit suicide to stop the fighting).

Was there really any need for a hidden 16th student AND an agent?

I guess they want to change the direction of the anime. If they keep at the current pace, they will just run out characters to interact with each other - too many are killed already. So instead of 1 kill 1, 1 kill 1 kill 1, 1 kill herself, they need something new, which is why I think they are bringing in new character.

Sakura's will was a fake,it was just some random paper Monobear scribbled on!Wtf,what kind of a plot twist was that?

Sakura committed suicide to stop the fighting between everyone.

And Sakura says she's she'll get the mastermind somehow,but she's died?And wonder what she meant by something in their bodies?

And Ikusaba Mukuro is the 16th classmate.

Huh, they threw the upside down mag in as useless evidence.

I really thought that it was Togami who killed Ogami. I was thinking that he put that chair somewhat close to the door, then removed a pane from the glass window, pulled the chair to lock the room, then put the pane back in, then the rest was explained.

16th student? Wonder how that's gonna affect them.

Explained in comment #35 of this topic.

I feel like some of the corners that have been cut are bad decisions... they show things that aren't explained later (magazine) and don't show things that are later explained (don't recall them ever showing the protein bottle on top of the glass shards). How are viewers supposed to even reason out the argument like that?

As for ninja Kirigiri:

They played the blame game much better in this trial. They really made the viewer think the murderer was Asahina.

They didn't animate the bath scene, so let's see if they briefly animate the alternate ending?

That means the anime cut out part of the game and then forgot to explain that it is a red herring.

I have now found out where they have cut from the game, which includes everything about the magazine !!

For me, the high point of this episode was smashing up Alter Ego. Thank god that's gone. Overall a better episode imo, things are heating up a bit although still feels like there's lots of asspulls incoming.

Wow, I really did think Asahina was the one that killed Sakura but Sakura actually commit suicide. Monokuma is such a troll, replacing Sakura's will with another. D: Damn, Monobear found out about Alter Ego and smashed the hell out of it. Wait, there's a 16th highschooler?! The Super Duper High School Despair, Ikusaba Mukuro. Damn, that was a great episode. Really excited to find out what happens next.

Asahina killed Sakura??? I thought it is true, but I wanted to doubt it... I am so glad that Naegi saved her. I am so glad that she was lying...when I shouldn't be.

Oogami is such a respectable woman... Salute to her. Naegi knows way too much and Asahina is such a sweet girl, I am disappointed in myself that I doubted her... Salute to this friendship. Asahina is one of the most real characters in this series. Such a sad episode and once again, a big salute to Sakura and Oogami once again. They better take her lesson and I feel so much in this episode. monokuma killed alter ego instead, such a despicable person. They really have been hypnotized or something... Damn it! The ending song!!!

What a fucking episode! It was kind of anticlimax but still gave it to leave the atmosphere of the anime even better.

The fact that the anime is being well run does not change the plot, but it's a shame that only four episodes remaining, I wanted to highlight more Kirigiri):

There was something which wasn't told in the anime actually, Sakura also killed herself because remember Monokuma mentioned earlier on that Sakura has to kill someone if there is not going to be any murders? Since Sakura cannot bear to kill any of her friends, she decided to take her own life instead so that her dojo friends would not be harmed.

Absolutely! Especially with the 4th incentive with Monokuma grilling a squid instead of popping up from the stand as usual. Absolutely hilarious.

Actually I was grinning ear to ear with this episode. Yeah a lot of the evidence was pretty damn useless and the door being locked was still an animation fuck up but how the smoothed it in made up for it, but yeah... Monokuma is still an asshole.

Can't wait to see what's coming to him. Oh wakuwakuwaku indeed.

By far the best episode so far. I really enjoyed this one. Finally after all those episodes I slugged through the real story is coming in!
I've already known there was 1 6th student from reading some spoiler tags here and there in previous forums. I have no idea what good it does- why is there a 16th student? Hopefully it's in the next episode because i'm dying to know.
Also, I thought it was against the rules to be out of bed after 10pm. When monobear saw Kirigi and Naegi why didn't he say anything? Maybe it was because he was so nervous that they were standing right by the data room which holds some sort of secret? Is that where the 16th student is? zzzzpzzzzzp

Those 2 admitted to smashing Sakura's head with the glass bottle, but are still acting like "So what? I didn't deal the finishing blow". hmmm

The 30 seconds of investigation time, pacing and skipping of evidence was horrible as usual. At least in the first trial we had 10mins of investigation time.

However I am very interested to see how all these will wrap up, and who's going to go next. 3/5, but looking forward to the next episode!

And Kirigiri is in Naegi's room? Also what's inside that data room? And, the 16th student is introduced. Whoa. I wonder if we will have a long death case, or two more deaths this time.
