Spoiler for Episode 7:

Conclusion of the third case. Watching the last episode of it is devolved into many foreshadowing plot points, and it's interesting to see how Naegi, with the help of his mates, can find more informations to discover what will be intended to be the many secrets behind the school they are trapped in. I was totally shocked to hear about who is the culprit: her flashback isn't as sad as the others, but I'm still too painful to handle what she understands about her own self. That's a major impact to me what the plot will unfold next, but Celestia's death isn't too scary but is still covered with enough flames to boot. Watching the ending gives me enough fear about, so I will see how they will develop the main story into the new territory from now on after a series of formulaic cases.

[Klashikari]

^ You do realize it wasn't a flashback at all? It was merely an explanation of the motive which was just envisioning noble-like lifestyle.

Anyway, that was probably the most rushed episode thus far, regardless what they have cut, it was rather the storytelling and execution of the trial going all over the place. I know that they couldn't realistically cram the complete investigation in episode 6, but because of that, the momentum is basically disrupted and having the trial starting third way the episode was a very bad aftermath.
To make matter worse, the trial is a bit iffy in its presentation:

TL;DR…

 

Sorry; dynamic content not loaded. Reload?

It makes me wonder why they didn't skip the OP like the other 2 trial episodes.

At least, they did finish the episode with these 2 plot twists or so...
That said, something quite important is missing:

Spoiler for End chapter 3, Important Missing point :

After Celes is executed, Monokuma approaches Kyouko and asks her what was the key about. She first goes silent then asks Monokuma to answer her question first: "What did you do to my body?".
Monokuma is first quite startled by her question, and feign ignorance saying he has no idea.

What? Yasuhiro (female) really was the murderer?
Eh~~~~~~~~?! Her acting (on purpose or the staff's fault or VA's fault?) was so cheesy, it was so obvious. But since this is technically supposed to be a detective/mystery thing, I thought there would be a twist. And on top of that, blurting out the clue that makes you the prime suspect, again?
...???????...???

Spoiler for EP 7:

Well it was even more obvious in the game.
She even asked how she should scream there and decided on 'Dudeludelu' eventually
I have yet to watch the episode but two things that should have been said right in EP 1:

- E-ID only display the owner's true name
- Celes is not german, but japanese.

[Klashikari]

^ You are mistaken. There wasn't any discussion "how" she should scream. She just went this way like an idiot, nothing else.

I'm pretty sure she had an other monologue/dialogue in front of/with everyone asking how she should shout. Then they told her it doesn't matter and she eventually went with Dudeludelu
oO

Something more or less funny they forgot btw:

Spoiler for Origin of Yamada's paper note:

Kirigiri got it out of his underwear.
When Naegi said something about it she answered:

'Its just underwear, its not lick i was taking it out of his socks'

[Klashikari]

^ She did say that in the anime episode.

[Solitaired]

So they really did end it with Sakura and Monokuma.

I was right to guess that they will just show the pool scene with Hagakure and cut out the rest of the investigation. However, if they can managed to include the OP, they might as well include the fact that Celes is the only one who spot the Justice Robo, and led everyone to her planned spots.

Also, at the end of the week, people from the episode 6 thread did not noticed the change in Yamada's glasses. Focused too much on Yasuhiro imo.

Yeah I should stop making my posts directly after missing scenes
I totally expected the scene shortly after she found it.

I still wonder how they managed to fit in all that hair into the helmet....especially when it just springs back to normal when you take it off

I thought about that and the fact when they pulled off the middle part, amazing his coat still stayed on his shoulders

The person who knocked out Naegi is the 16th person?

Thats my assumption. From the frame, looks male but with this series who knows.

[GreyZone]

I just realized that everyone who was a suspect at some point, was neither a murderer nor a victim later on (until now at least).
This includes Naegi, Kirigiri, Togami, Snake head guy (forgot his name) and the serial killer (forgot her name). So... only Sakura and that other girl were not suspected yet...

Also Togami messed up the crime scene of the 2nd trial "for fun" once... Was that simply boredom, or was there a sinister motive?

[Klashikari]

^ That's because he already knew who was the culprit. More information here.

[ChampDream]

it look like I was right that Celes was the murder, I guess she use that name because her real name doesn't match her dream, also her dead felt like she got troll at the end.
now we have a mysterious person appearing, possible 16th student?
that last part with Sakura and Monokuma is not going to end well.

[Anh_Minh]

Celes as the mastermind. Alter Ego used as a motivator. Rather predictable. Oh, well.

What's less so - Sakura's a robot like Monokuma?
