Okay, so i wanna put in my predictions for 2x2 before it comes out (I wanna see if I get anything right and have the evidence that I called it 😜) My first thought is that no one (except Hajime) will end up in the same role as they did in the original. Victims will be a culprit or a survivor. Survivors will be a victim or a culprit. And culprits will be a survivor or a victim. Now that I got that out..
Hajime Hinata: I dont really see Hajime dying, despite a lot of talk about a protagonist switch. The thing is, that was a very good twist in v3, but now that its been done, I dont think they'll be able to pull it off with the same amount of shock. It would just feel like they'd be redoing what was already done, which yeah the do that, we see clearly with chapter 3 double murders, but protag switched were introduced in v3, seems weird to reuse it.
Sonia Nevermind: Sonia is just too kind to be a culprit, so I really do see her being a victim. Out of everyone in the group, yes even Chiaki, Sonia cared the most about everyone. You see as more and more people die, she gets more distraught in trials, so I have a hard time imagining her killing.
Akane Owari: I also see Akane being a victim, not for the same reason as Sonia, but because Akane has shown that she doesnt really like things to be complex. That makes it hard for me to think she'll kill someone then come up with interesting of complicated ways to evade suspicion. Most of the time, culprits are fairly smart, and Akane really isnt.
Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu: Either or with victim or culprit. I dont think he'll get the same arc in this game since that would have to rehash the whole thing with Peko, which I dont see happening. He definitely seemed aggressive enough to kill, but solely because he wouldnt want to leave Peko to die, I see him more being a victim. His behavior would definitely give him enemies.
Kazuichi Souda: I can see him killing but idk if he will. Kazuichi is very rash and has obvious tunnel vision. And while he's also not the smartest in the survivor group, he's scolded Akane a couple times for being airheaded so he's definitely not on the same level as her. The only reason I wouldnt say that he's a for sure culprit is that he's so terrified of the killing game, more than pretty much anyone else. Like he panics and screams the second Monokuma appears. He doesnt want to be involved in any of this, so him involving himself by becoming a culprit is iffy to me.
I'll make this into multiple parts so that the post isnt too long.
