Danganronpa - Speculations and Theories (First time anime viewers only)
This thread is aimed at first time viewers of Danganronpa the Animation and its purpose is to allow spoiler free speculation and theories to be aired. Having them in a central location may help focus the discussion instead of spreading speculation over the various episode discussion threads. If you are knowledgeable of the manga and wish to speculate or discuss theories, then please do not post in this thread (use the Danganronpa - Spoilers & Expectations (for experienced Despair Students only)) thread and do not give away any spoilers in this thread!
Unacceptable post topics:
Spoiler Policy
Magazine previews are an exception to the said rule. You are allowed to discuss those. (Properly labeled spoiler tags required). Please note that due to the nature of the series, it would be preferable to discuss about cases and incidents enclosed with appropriate spoiler tags. For instance, if you wish to discuss about the first case, please mention Episode 2 as the spoiler tag. Last edited by Klashikari; 2013-07-23 at 06:27. |

Junko's one of my suspects. I just finished watching a bunch of murder mystery movies, and one thing that's pointed out is that a murderer/accomplice is always one of the first people to point out when stuff got stolen/other details. In the Detective Conan movie, for example, the culprit was the one to point out that the clocktower indicated the number of people left till they all died. Or in Saw where Amanda points out that Jigsaw's playing a game with them when everybody assumes they all just got kidnapped/ when they're panicking.
Its likely just paranoia, but she was the one to point out that all their cells got stolen. I expected the otaku guy to point it out. I am convinced that its one of the students, however, since its one of those 'Whodunit' tropes that people love putting in as a mandatory twist.

No murder occurred yet. And for all I know there are several culprits, one in each murder. |

Ah, sorry. I meant the most suspect im being the one who trapped them in. In both cases I mentioned - DC movie and Saw - neither of the suspects actually killed anyone, but they were the ones who trapped the protags in/helped the culprit trap the protags in. If/when anybody actually murders, then All 15 - except Naegi, unless he has a split personality - are suspects.
Its either that or Monobear's an AI. Or maybe its Hazama on a laptop, watching all the kids. It could be anyone, but Junko's still one of my suspects by virtue of her being the least suspect in normal cases. The obvious suspects like Tobaki or Chihiro are out since I'm expecting a giant twist come out of left field, as is becoming the norm for these kinds of shows.

Oh, and was I the only one who Spoiler:
This probably comes from watching too much Detective Conan, where the dying messages get REALLY contrived and everything turns out to be a clue or hint.

more pointless speculation
since my first choice for the main culprit is already dead. Here is my 2nd prediction....Negi. Spoiler:
what i really want to know is why sayaka wrote down numbers with her blood instead of the name of the culprit. She was stab in the stomach not heart. A stomach wound is not a quick death. She should have plenty of time to write out someones name.

*Sigh* and this is what we meant when talking about it being just 13 episodes and every social aspect of the game being left out.
OK this is not really a spoiler, I will still pack it in a tag though to make sure Spoiler for Probably reason for some misunderstandings:

Monokuma will be indirectly involved unless the school rules or broken or if a murder takes place and as to play the judge card. So him writing the numbers on the wall where Maizono had been killed is very most unlikely since he plays the role of the rule marker and "referee" to a certain extent. Quote:

It's good to see that a lot of people are trying to solve the mystery, at least. I have to give credit to the studio. They could have done a much worse job.

We know that its been at least three days so far: In the first episode, they comfort Chihiro and I remember sports girl mentioning that its been three days since they've been locked in, so people would notice their disappearance soon.
Assuming the follow up investigations/attempts to escape took 1-2 days, then its pretty accurate to the game.

Can we rule out suicide?
That was my first guess. It's too simple, really, but given the video (she has nothing to return to), and the mess could easily have been just her doing. Why she would switch rooms, though, wouldn't make sense (especially the thing about the doormats too, and the dying message). Well, that's my take for now, and I'll be honest and admit that I'm not satisfied with it. |

I doubt it was suicide: The game isn't meant to be unwinnable, at least as far as we know, so unless they vote Sayaka as the culprit then they're all dead. That and Naegi mentioned that her hand was broken. Why would it be broken if she wanted suicide? The placement of her hands are also odd since that meant she let herself bleed out rather than killing herself quickly.

Not really because if you check the room thoroughly it's evident that a struggle between her and the murderer did occur, and the fact that blunt force trauma came into effect also supports this fact. The doormats is to mislead people from the killer and point the finger at Makoto and the dying message is the key clue in finding out the killers identity. All we can do is wait for when the trial gets underway next week. I have an idea who the killer might be, but need to go back and reevaluate what I know and what I've seen.

It's funny to watch people who actually know english speculating about sucide and so on than they were given totally obvious evidence who the killer is. I would understand if someone not familiar with english speculated this but not in other case.
