happy third anniversary of decapolice’s announcement
(this has been a LONG three years)
since there’s been literally no content (other than a drawing) since 2024, i lwk got nothing to talk about that has to do with canon soooo
THEORIES/PLOT LINES THAT COULD HAPPEN IN THE GAME
zhang’s arc will have to do with atonement/him possibly having a criminal past.
his school’s motto is “self discipline and social commitment” and his bio states that he’s a “self-proclaimed” white-hat hacker….why self proclaimed 🤨. he might have some connection to the hacker, and his arc will be him trying to move past his criminal past (assuming he was a kid or was forced into it)
2. speaking of the hacker, their storyline will be more than one case. at least 1 focused on the og hack (carl or misae centric?) and another to find their identity (which would be more zhang-centric)
no real reasoning behind this, only that there’s no way they only exist for one case, and that them being puppets lasts longer than js one case. bonus is that, after they’re arrested, they’ll have the ability to change between forms
3. the dude at the end of the trailer is voiced by koki uchiyama, and is rather a previous mentor/parental figure for harvard OR the creator of decasim
i feel like a child’s first instinct or coping mechanism after having their mother get murdered wouldn’t be to become a detective, and something tells me there might’ve been someone in his life that pushed him into it?? idk why the creator of decasim would know harvard, unless….
4. alien technology was used for decasim AND that has some sort of connection to harvard and his mom.
alr most explained this theory in a prev post, however, the longer i think on it, the more interesting it becomes to me. if hino was crazy enough, he could lwk make the saying “the things you do for love” a big part of decapolice (harvard becoming a detective for his mother, the clown’s motivation maybe, etc) and like….harvard could be part alien? and he died/almost died young so his mother used smt alien to bring him back (which is why he looks so different and more like his mother when he’s older). maybe she worked with decasim, which is why she knows about aliens and risked it all using them to bring her son back.
i doubt they’ll kill him off, but him almost dying or even faking his death would be a major blow to all of them and may cause some conflict between them? if he fakes his death, it’ll also be another family member dead for harvard 🥹
6. carl’s arc will involve his father, and he’ll have to decide between going back to britain with him to avoid conflict and make him happy, or rebelling and staying as a detective in broadstone
i doubt he likes conflict, and he’s prolly a people pleaser, so maybe
7. harvard and his whole team has a rivalry with higher up detectives, with their leader and harvard knowing each other previously in college
i think it’d be fun, plus they kinda hinted at it in the trailers
8. harvard’s no longer a detective at the end of the game
i want him to go rogue at the end of the game, or at the very least quit. i think there are better jobs for him and it’d help him heal if he stopped working there and feeding into his obsessions
there’s like two promo images where he’s facing on the side/not showing an eye 👀 plus like an eye for an eye yk??👀👀👀👀 please hino 👀👀👀👀
