Doncha just love how the eye in the Prologue is a very close match for Shuichi
And it has the ‘lie’ kanji in it. Wonderful

Doncha just love how the eye in the Prologue is a very close match for Shuichi
And it has the ‘lie’ kanji in it. Wonderful
Strange and troubling moments from our Ultimate Detective (cut up):
Recognition of ‘Ultimate’ as if it’s something bad (JP). Granted it’s before he has his memories, but what’s also curious is the recognition a few of the group have of the Monokubs. The vagueness is... troubling, in part considering that Danganronpa is purported to be popular.
Deja vu recognition, while Kaede has no such response. Shuichi alone is particularly unsettled by the notion that he had been there before. Add that to a recognition of ‘Ultimate’ as something awry, and there’s a curious implication of what he means by ‘in for something strange’, considering that his own lab room is filled with Ultimate experiments...
His wish to die, coupled with rejecting Ultimate memories. The group are running to throw away their memories, purportedly because of the Hunt. But if Shuichi alone explicitly wanted to die, why is he going through such a roundabout process... unless he wanted something else...?
‘Denial’ isn’t just a river in Egypt you know, Kaede. ....*ahem*
The point is, it’s curious how her forceful positivity push-back rears up so heavily here. We don’t even get to examine this clue of hers, precisely because of that. Which makes this kind of behaviour overall, a bit of a red flag to watch out for...
As for whether it’s a ‘big deal’ to us or not... wow I wonder, a memory that she shouldn’t even have yet? Yeah, I’d be concerned!
‘Wash your feet and wait!’
‘It’s not ‘wash your feet’... it’s ‘wash your necks’, right?’ (rough)
I ended up in here curious if Monosuke mentioned anything about horses in the original. He didn’t, but oh boy... this is pretty morbid!
首を洗って持っていろ is a kind of idiom: ‘wash your neck, and wait’... for execution. In other words, wait to have your head cut off.
Well, I wouldn’t expect less from the Monokubs...
Parallels: a ‘popular killing game show’ and its Mono-mascots
Yeah you’d need a few extra hands, I’d say. Like a couple of spies, a few people with superhuman speed, the Prime Minister, even...
I love that the word - 打ち砕か - really is one for ‘shatter’.
...Oh nothing to see here, just more neat glass imagery...
