So having Makoto declaring that Junko's corpse has "similar" wounds than Mukuro felt out of nowhere.

Well, they actually talked about Mukuro's multiple stab wounds when Fukawa and Naegi were examining the corpse.

Anime viewers like me can't make a guess at the culprit because many details are only given during the trials but I accepted this long ago. I suck at detective work anyway... I only managed to guess Leon because it was super-easy (the "diying message") and Celes purely on instinct (because she was the first one to be "attacked" by Justice Robot but only got a light bruise).

Anyway, they cornered themselves so the final episode will be... rather awkward I guess.

As an anime-only viewer, I liked that they didn't make me wait another week to reveal the mastermind.
There are still plenty of misteries that I want answered in the finale episode: what the hell happened in that school? What is the "Biggest Despair in Human History"? Why did the 16 students accept to live at Kibougamine? Why were their memories erased? Why did Junko organize this weird survival game?
