Is there any blood on Tsubasa's or Erina's fingers/hands? This could help decide if they died instantly or whether they tried to stop the bleeding, but that was their demise.

There was no blood on Tsubasa’s hand.

There was blood on Erena’s hand, but this should not come as a surprise, as her hand is in the pool of blood around her body, and thus, it earned no mention.

Is there any bruising on Hanayo's face or is it on her neck? If it's on her face see if a pillow could've done that. If it's on her neck then is it in a "V" shape? If it is then it was indeed from the noose. If not then it was from something else like how Nico choked Honoka.

Both Maki and Eli investigated Hanayo’s body already, so I’m going to direct any other asks regarding the state of Hanayo’s body to the updates/evidence bullets (unless it’s something they wouldn’t have noticed like, I dunno, if anything is inside Hanayo’s shoes or something)

[Basically I’m saying you would have noticed any bruises/etc]

Eli, you should check to see if Maki and Umi were both locked into rooms as well. But on that note, Umi said she was 'pounding the door' to open it until it gave way- does that mean she didn't know about the keys? Also, check if any of the rooms are connected to one another and if someone can go from one to another without having to enter the main hallway.

To answer the first question – Umi was pounding on the bloodied door/aka not her own door. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘she didn’t know about the keys’ because the room’s key was said to be for their own room.

As for the second question – it shall hereby be confirmed that none of the second floor rooms are connected to each other, as you would have noticed such a thing during your time in your own room. (We’re not going to play the ‘this room only had access to this other room’ because that would be totally bogus *shrug*)

We should probably investigate he rooms with Hanayo's body and check all the rooms for where Erena's key leads to. Also,can we get the images for all of the rooms for investigation if possible?

You did not find a key on Erena’s person.

As for getting images of all of the rooms for investigation. that’s... low-key equivalent of visiting all the rooms so let’s just play the trusting game shall we :>

What if someone went on a killing spree and just killed everyone? A class trial will no longer be necessary as there will be no one to participate in it but Monokuma and the culprit, right? Would the killer be set free right off the hook by Monokuma as the final victim is killed? Or on another note, will Monokuma not allow multiple murders?

At this point, Monokuma would probably prevent the killer from killing everyone, because that makes things too easy and totally not despair inducing. Monokuma would probably stop the killer from killing everyone but the last two people, so that there was still a way to overcome a tie vote, as why would the culprit vote for themselves if they could tie/stall things, I guess.

For your last question, it looks like now would be a good time to mention that the rules we will be following will be exactly from the ElectroID’s ‘Rule’ page. Everything else not established in these rules will be up for fair grabs/up to the monochromatic bear’s whims. 

The exact answer to your question, however, is a rather gray area. I direct you towards Chapter 3 of DR as an example, however I won’t go into detail about it because I know some people haven’t played through DR yet that are following this story. Thus, the only answer I can give you is that there will only be one culprit in the end.

I went off for like, 5 months and I noticed some buttons like Ask the GMs are gone. What happened?

We actually just rearranged them into the ElectroID tab because not only did it make things neater, since there were so many buttons, but it also made things almost more in character, since you use the ElectroID to access what you need to see. If you’re looking for Ask the GMs, it’s under the last tab of the ElectroiD, which is Extras.

I'm sorry but... I do get why there might be a split vote going on, but wouldn't Hanayo not trust Nico after getting blamed on the water bottle issues?

Well the idea is that Hanayo had about 110% trust in Nico before; she was always insisting that they smile/not give into Monokuma/etc, and so when she’s placed between a rock and a hard place here, of believing in Nozomi or Nico, despite the fact that Nico blamed her a bit earlier on, that could easily be written of as technically she was suspicious in that manner and she can’t really blame her. The real fact of the matter boiled down to who would the person, in this case Hanayo, want to believe is the killer? No matter what you say, it’s definitely easier for Hanayo to just believe that Nozomi is the killer; everything was laid out cut and dry and it would all make sense, and Nico is still the all smile’s senpai, ‘let’s do our best guys’. On the other hand, if Hanayo were to believe that Nico were the killer at this point, she’s going to say the person who gave her hope after Rin’s death fell to the same path and she’d really rather not believe that. Not only that, but Maki is supporting Nico, and, after Maki solved the trial last time, it’s easy for Hanayo to trust in her/that she has the right idea when she’s unsure herself.Hopefully that little rambling made sense. It’s more so the last few sentences that explain it, really, but ah well. In short: Maki supports Nico so it’s easy to support them as Hanayo obviously places her trust in them; it’s easier on her mental state to believe Nozomi was the killer, out of revenge for Eli, then to believe Nico, who was all anti-despair pro-hope earlier, killed Honoka for money.

It looks in the pictures that there are two different times the culprit attempts to choke Honoka, and she reacts differently both times. That's how it is, right?

Technically there are more than two attempts, but yes, there is definitely a different reaction each time, which should help you figure out where it falls in the time line.
