DANGANRONPA 2 But The Wheel Decides Their Fate - My Version & Scenarios! 

Weeby: "I don't have a reason for Peko killing herself" Wheel: "I got you fam"

I like to imagine Chiaki surviving means they just carry around A.I. Chiaki on like a laptop or phone

I am shocked at the fact the wheel came up with a better Chapter 3 by complete dumb luck. Nagito killing both Mahiru and Hiyoko because of how strong their bond was and by extension how much it would affect the group and contribute to his neverending cycle of Hope and Despair is quite literally peak Nagito characterization. TL;DR The wheel fixed Chapter 3, thank the RNGOds.

When you said that Sonia would do copycat murders, I legitimately thought she would take some inspiration from Genocider Syo and imitate her killing style by killing cute boys (haha Gundham)

Nagito being chapter 3's killer is even more fitting when you realize this is the chapter where we see the killer making a complete 180 in terms of personality when they're revealed, which is absolutely fitting for Nagito. Instead of revealing his true nature in chapter 1, he can just do it here instead.

If we have to deal with Teruteru creeping on Mikan so long in this game he'd better have a "respec wamen" arc.

Only bad thing about this AU, is that Mikan would keep “tripping” and Teruteru would still be there to gawk at it 🙃

Yakuza: "What did it cost?" Fuyuhiko: "Everything" I'm sorry.

I like the idea Peko never expected to grow so close to everyone and maybe she was expected to kill someone kinda like Sakura was but she couldn't

"A shell of the woman I once was" I know was a joke but it would actually fit pretty well for Sonia. Having to be this image of perfection. Unassuming, but convicted; wise, but not cruel, and so on. Letting her shed that skin and do what she wanted, though just in this scenario, makes the situation a lot more dire than you would have thought. I can imagine when she admits to killing Gundhum she would say that line, but have like a smile on her face and say it with pride. Also if we wanted to go down the copycat killer route, if she is basically treating him as a nonconseual boyfriend, you know what killer that already exists in DR that she could replicate? Genocide Jack. Cue a redo of chapter two of DR1, except this time the killing did go exactly as was portrayed, just no one there is actually Genocider.

Fitting that Chiaki is the protagonist here vs Kyoko in the first game! Also: “Fuyupeko’s lasting so long!” And you jinxed it DX

"Finally, my opportunity to Kill some people" 10/10 lines

Ch.1: After finding out many of their memories have been erased, Akane is determined to get them back to find out what happened with her siblings. She feels bad for what she’s going to do and goes for Ibuki since it wouldn’t be a struggle. Chiaki finds out and Akane tries her best not to cry, and regrets what she has done. Her execution is called “Gymnast’s Final Leap”. Ch.2: Sonia is fascinated in Gundham and looks up to him a lot, and he believes she can unleash a power she does not know about. At night Sonia spends her time in the library reading about serial killers, and comes across Genocide Jack - she becomes very interested in them and wants to be just like them, and when she realises she has feelings for Gundham, she thinks she can recreate Jill’s murders as they killed “cute boys”, and that’s what she sees Gundham as. She tricks him by pretending to make a ritual, but when he is concentrating on the spell, she kills him. When she’s revealed she is very excited as she “became like her idol”, but when she’s told she’s going to die, she realises that the one man she loved is dead because of her and is about to have a moment of realisation... but then the execution “Prom Queen’s Victory” plays. Ch.3: Mahiru is an elder sister figure to Hiyoko, and since she took her away from bullying everyone, the rest of the students are happy and support their friendship. Nagito doesn’t like how much hope they bring and pretends to have the despair disease, when in reality he uses it as an ‘alibi’. He attempts to murder Mahiru, as her dying would cause a lot of despair, but Hiyoko comes across it and tries to stop him - only to get murdered instead. Nagito thinks this is the perfect opportunity to bring a bigger despair, as the more despair means more hope, and kills Mahiru as well. He gets revealed by Chiaki ofc and he laughs, as this means the Ultimates will get to see the greatest hope yet. He is excited at first for the execution “Beginner’s Luck”, but during it, he realises the execution will only include more and more despair and no hope, causing him to frown at the end before dying. Ch.4: The Ultimate Imposter has been trying to be a good leader, but the students find out he isn’t Byakuya Togami and lose all trust in him, and he knows this is the end in his leadership role. He wants to help out still, even if no one will know it’s helping, and wants to be the next victim. In the meantime, Nekomaru has a similar thinking process and doesn’t want anyone to die but knows someone has to, so he wants to die for them. The Imposter finds Nekomaru’s plan on how to sacrifice himself and they cooperate on being the victim and culprit, but during the trial, Nekomaru struggles to tell everyone that he’s the blackened as he knows he’ll be hated. In the end he gets revealed and doesn’t deny it, and ends up being executed by “0:1”. Ch.5: Peko has been working with Fuyuhiko since the very beginning, but nobody knows. He promised to not let her die, but she has realised that the students keep getting closer to the mastermind and knows this means he will have to die, so without Fuyuhiko’s permission or knowledge, she gets rid of herself and sets up clues to frame herself as a mastermind who regretted starting the game, and she left a note for Fuyuhiko, asking him can he stop the game so that everyone believes her. Chiaki discovers how Peko died and figures out she wasn’t the mastermind, as the game keeps going, due to Fuyuhiko feeling like it’s not the end and not minding if he dies if he gets discovered, as the one person he trusted is dead because of him. Ch.6: Fuyuhiko is revealed to be the mastermind and Chiaki is the traitor. At the end, Fuyuhiko gets executed by “Final Laugh of Despair”, and everyone is allowed to leave the Neo Programme. Hajime isn’t ready to leave, as it would mean he never gets to see Chiaki again. She thanks him and the other students for being her friends and all the survivors awaken, as in this au anyone who died in the simulation also died irl. Protag info: I feel like Chiaki would be a good protagonist. She’d feel like her only task is to be nice and supportive, not going into detail why. Throughout the game she think stuff like “...what if I don’t awaken?” when she goes to bed, or “Can I... call myself ‘human’?”. At the end it would be clear she does want to be alive with everyone else, but she’d be happier that they get to survive. Her final words would be “Thank you, everyone. Thank you... for playing this game with me.”

What if Akane’s motivation was similar to Teruteru’s from the original game? She could be desperate to get home to her younger siblings (if I’m remembering her backstory correctly). For chapter 2, I could see it being a case where Sonia is desperate to return to Novoselic, and Gundhan agrees to help her by challenging her to a duel to prove her dedication to her country (or something like that). Chiaki as a protagonist is something I’ve wanted for YEARS, I love it so much 💗

I feel like kazuichi would have a big development after Sonia killed Gundam since he had a crush on Sonia, so I feel like his character would have some sort of development after that in this timeline

If the thumbnail is to be trusted. Weeby's the one that was decided by Fate to create time-lines where the main girls get to shine even more. (Let's pray she gets Kaede too.) (And Toko if she does Another Episode. And frankly, any of the girls if she does the anime 3. And maybe 0?)

Oh God, this one was *brutal.* Well, at least the Hinanami duo survived...

I'm just imagining a scenario in Chapter 3 where after Nagito kills either Mahiru or Hiyoko, he walks off to prep up where the body will be found and what not. And during that time, the other happen to walk in and see the dead corpse of their friend. In this scenario, I could see it being Hiyoko, who runs up to Mahiru's body trying to wake her up and in complete denial. So much so, she doesn't move when Nagito comes back and, since he originally planned for Hiyoko (or Mahiru) to overcome the despair of a best friend through finding the killer, now has to change his plans to an even more despairing plan: Two friends both found dead on one another.

I was thinking about the Fuyuhiko and Peko situation, and I thought that since Fuyuhiko is the mastermind, Peko would know that. In this scenario, no body has killed each other yet, so Fuyuhiko orders Peko to commit suicide. Since she is obedient to Fuyuhiko, she does it. He makes her do it because it would cause confusion in the group. They wouldn't know who the killer is because no one have committed suicide in this game.

I think an interesting possibility, especially if we say this version of events is connected to the 'Genocider Jack is the Mastermind' scenario, is that Genocider essentially planted the idea that the Killing Game is the ultimate test to become the Yakuza leader before she even started her version of the Ultimate Despair. Maybe Peko committed suicide to try and show Fuyuhiko that this is wrong and once he cracks due to her death and admits to being the mastermind, the Genocider Alter-Ego essentially goes "If you aren't going to be the Antagonist of this story, then I will!" and tries to completely take over the Neo World Program.

Sonia at gundham when she feels like stalkin' him: Every step you take, I'll be watching you.

16:54 Peko learns that Fuyuhiko is the mastermind via the Octagon’s records, and that through her life she was serving and protecting the person pushing this killing-school trip. The guilt becomes too much for her, and so she takes her life in Ch.5. Fuyuhiko feigns his grief, because in this AU, he really saw her as only a tool. Think of how Junko disregards Mukuro in DR1 by destroying her corpse and then badmouthing her during the final class trial. Perhaps Fuyuhiko’s motive is true to his character, that he grew up not being viewed as an imposing Yakuza, and so to become as truly ruthless as his syndicate wants him to be - perhaps as vengeance for his dead sister (who we know was regarded as the most ruthless Yakuza and apparently more deserving of the title than him) - he tried to throw away his emotions and stops caring for other people like Peko, eventually viewing her only as that tool to help him reach his goals. Lol, I guess you pretty much got everything I could think of Man poor Fuyuhiko 🥺

This made me realize how much better chapter 3 would have been if Hiyoko and Mahiru died together. Not only would it have been a lot more tragic than the actual scenario, they also would have had more time to develop their friendship if Mahiru had survived chapter 2 at least.

Okay, hear me out for how chapter 1 blackened Akane could go with how Akane is in the base game. With the first motive being how they have had two years of their memories erased, Monokuma hints to her that something awful had happened to her siblings. And this worry for her siblings and her anger over her perceived powerlessness to help them grows until she kills Ibuki in a fit of passion (similar to Mondo in THH). I feel like with how impulsive and hotheaded she is something like this could happen and make sense.

i love the nontoxic side of danganronpa

Hajime and Soda: Something never changes.

Chapter 3 just murdered my two favourites, this wheel is daaark

First day: Chiaki: Oh I get it, It's all a game Ha, hey Hajime! Imagine if I was actually just an NPC being made to be a protaganist. **cute laugh** It would be hilarious. Hajime: Yeah, well if it's a game may as well coop right? Is that how gamer speak? First Case: Chiaki: So let me get this straight, you kill over Teru Teru cooking? Akane: Yeah, it was delicious! Second case: Chiaki: So let me get this straight, you frame one of your boyfriends and kill your other boyfriend because you were fascinated with murderer? Sonia: I did! And I thought Gundam would have like it being all dark and mysterious. Third Case: Chiaki: Soooo, you want to kill these two because you want to spread hope? Komadae: In my defense, I was under influence like everyone else including your boyfriend. Fourth Case: Chiaki: I get it now, Byakya sacrifice himself and you were Nekomaru: Well, it's the only way to get all of you out. As ultimate class monitor, I will help my classmate even if it causes my life. Fifth Case: Chiaki: Well, if it's not me, not Hajime, or anyone else...Then it can only mean...SHE KILLED HERSELF! Everyone: WHHHHHAAAAAAATTTTT? Final Case: Chiaki: So can you please explain to yourself why you orchestrate this murder-dead game? Fuyoki: Because...I started to realized that we are in a simulator. The evidence for that...is your existance Chiaki Nanami! Chiaki: Oh I get it...Wait what? Hajime: What do you mean? She's real like the rest of us. Fuyohiko: Because I have discovered the files of the ultimate despair who made up class 2-A and in that class. There was a dead student. She is no other than Mrs Main Character herself, Chiaki Nanami.

when it landed on sonia for gundham i literally screamed

Personally I think Gundham would help Sonia win the trial by killing him and becoming an accomplice idk

The wheel of this au is more emotional than the first one. So many ships were broken

I've gotta say, Weeby's been getting pretty lucky with actual protagonists on these. Though, now I'm expecting her to get Kokichi as the V3 wheel protagonist, haha.

For Peko's death and Mastermind Fuyuhiko, I could see some sort of combination of Sakura's death from V1 and Nagito's death. She either finds out or knew from the beginning that he was the mastermind and, towards the end of the game when the students are close to finding out the mastermind, she kills herself to throw them off the trail. Like, she kills herself and tries to frame another student but, since that student wasn't actually the murderer, if the rest of the group picks them in the trial they would have chosen wrong and lost the game.

I wasn't expecting TeruTeru to survive

I think another thing that could add on to Imposter’s death, could be that he sacrifices himself because he knows that all of his classmates lives are real, while he’s pretending to be someone else. Imposter definitely values life and identity, so I believe to protect everyone, he’d take his life because he feels as if his fake identity can allow everyone’s life and self worth to shine on through.

as someone whos second favorite ship in the entire franchise is sondham, the events of chapter 2 PHYSICALLY HURT MY SOUL. if fuyupeko have an ending like this im SUING THE WHEEL- edit: ………….someone get me in CONTACT WITH THIS WHEELS LAWYER WHY AM I GENUINELY ANGRY AT THE FACT I JINXED IT 😭😭😭😭

Just imagine that scenario Gundham : the dark abyss has made me aware of your presence for some time now and i find it very displeasing Sonia : oh im sorry it’s just….um…well…i wanted to know if you and i can Gundham realized what she is going to say interrupts Gundham : before you finish that though I must inform you that the darkness is my mistress and i have minions i must watch or so i have no time for human company Sonia : oh i see well Gundham walks away will a sad look on his face know what he did was to spare soda of the heart break

Dangaronpa chapter 3: when the killer is a psycho Weeby: 11:01 Me: all acording to keikaku

I have a few alternate ideas for Peko committing surprise party: - It’s a situation like with Sakura, where Peko was supposed to commit a murder, but got too attached to the other students to do it. - Perhaps Peko planned to kill everyone like Nagito did originally to help Fuyuhiko fulfill his plan with the game.

Really interesting about chiaki being the main character. Reminds me of the Danganronpa 2 mangas that are povs of an character - being hajime, nagito, soda oddly, and of course chiaki - sadly not fully translated -nagito being the farthest in chp 3 - but in chiaki, it seem like she doesn't remember about being an a.i./her life

Headcanons for each wheel of fate decision: The protagonist, Chiaki, was designed to be an AI specialized in therapeutic practices by simulating the memories of the Remnants of Despair, but once the Monokuma Alter Ego program was uploaded to the Neo World Program, it also interfered with Chiaki's programming, causing her to forget she wasn't alive, and furthermore, an ally of the Future Foundation. First Trial: Once Monokuma announces the presence of a traitor among the class, distrust immediately sets in. Suspicion shrouds the judgement of everyone, but especially Akane, who attacks and ultimately murders Ibuki under suspicion that she was the mastermind. Once she realizes thar Monokuma wasn't deactivated upon her death, Akane realizes her mistake and tries to hide her shame, but is eventually found out during the trial and executed. Second Trial: Upon reaching the second island, stress among the class grows as nobody can predict now who would betray them next. Byakuya tries to confront the issue, stating that the anxiety of a murder will only accelerate the problem, but to little effect. And while Monokuma attempts to force their hands, the motive he gives would end up pointless as Gundham would be killed by a wound to his head. Sonia is shaken by his death, as they were growing close before his death. During this time, we'd also get some gradual character attachment between Hajime and Chiaki as they investigate, which would prove fruitful as they find out it was Sonia who did the deed. She disguised the murder as being the deed of a serial killer to attempt to throw suspicion off her trail. Once the trial is over, Sonia states that Gundham offered his life for her to survive. And he quoted, "the darkness of everyone clouds their judgement, and soon an unquenchable chaos will shroud this island. To you, Sonia, I offer my life as tribute. Perhaps my blood shall offer you amnesty from these terrible deeds of man, acts of which no lady- no, no mortal should ever have to witness. I am aware, however, that my sacrifice shall bring you great harm, and the parting will undoubtedly bring even greater agony, but I have chosen you to survive. For the name of Gundham Tanaka, you must live." She apologizes to Gundham before she too is executed. Third Trial: In an attempt to raise the spirits of everyone after the tragedy of the second trial, Byakuya arranges a party at the music venue. Now, at this point Nagito hasn't been shown to be insane, so this is where it gets fun. Two days after the party, after some heartwarming interactions with the cast, and with Teruteru finally shaping his act up and learning to keep his perverted side hidden most of the time, we see the dead bodies of Hiyoko and Mahiru laying next to each other, with Mahiru's hand layed atop Hiyoko's. The evidence shows that both of them suffered deep lacerations to the throat, though Mahiru had suffered several other injuries to her arms and torso, likely in a struggle. They check her camera only to find the film had been disposed of and the camera smashed. When the trial concludes, Nagito is accused as the blackened, stating that he murdered Hiyoko first, but Mahiru witnessed it happen, which then entered a bloody struggle as Mahiru tried to kill, or at least restrain, Nagito, but he got the upper hand and killed her. He is executed, but not before saying that hope would die if they could not triumph over the traitor. With his cryptic message, we close off trial 3. Fourth Trial: Starting off this chapter, Chiaki begins to remember things she never recalled before, namely memories of her life while she was alive, brought about by the Neo World Program transferring memories of her carried by the others. She discusses this with Hajime, who tries his best to understand or make sense of her sudden remembering of these events, but ultimately to no avail. They shrug it off as a bad dream and the story picks up. When they get trapped in the funhouse, Byakuya urges everyone to remain calm, ensuring them that there had to be a way out. If they got in there, after all, there had to be an exit. But as the days continued, hunger started to make everyone delusional, with Byakuya and Chiaki trying to keep a lid on the situation. But in the end, Byakuya is found dead at the center of the first floor of Grape House, apparently having died of internal injuries. The trial reveals that Nekomaru is the culprit, confessing that it was Byakuya who offered his life, a light mirror to the events of chapter 2. Byakuya knew it was irresponsible as a leader to lead everyone to their eventual deaths, and decided that a sacrifice had to be made. But he couldn't take his own life, so he asked Nekomaru to assist. Nekomaru commends Byakuya for his bravery, to which he replied, "I say the brave one is you, Nekomaru. At least you have the stomach for violence." Nekomaru responds, "In this moment, your bravery outshines everyone's. You're offering your life to save those you swore to protect, without a hint of regret on your face. Others might see you as foolish, but right now, I envy you." They shake hands before Nekomaru does the deed. Fifth Trial: After the events in the Funhouse, the group make a shrine dedicated to those that have died, vowing never to take another life, with the shrine as a reminder of that vow. Chiaki then tells Hajime that her dreams are getting worse, that sometimes she dreams of being in his body, or everyone else's, and Hajime tries to reassure her that they're just dreams. But then Chiaki states that every dream always takes place in Hope's Peak, to which Hajime as no response. Two days pass, with each day Peko becoming more distant. On the third day, nobody sees Peko at all, and Fuyuhiko checks on her, and urges everyone to come with him angrily. They all pile into her room to see her dead, a large blade wound on her neck and blood sprayed across the floor. But no sword to be found. Everyones' rooms are checked, but no matter where they look, the murder weapon eludes them. During the trial, it's eventually concluded that Fuyuhiko hid the sword after Peko killed herself. The guilt she carried by allying herself with the inciter of such tragedies eventually became too much, and to rid herself of her shame she committed suicide. In her way, this was her attempt to save Fuyuhiko. Final chapter: The crew enter the matrix and uncover the secrets of the island, with two truths being discovered: that Hajime is in the Reserve Department and that the world they live in is a simulation. Chiaki's anxiety suddenly grows as unease sets in with her, though she doesn't know why. That is, until the final trial. Junko reveals herself, as well as revealing that Fuyuhiko was the one who uploaded her to the Neo World Program and that she rewrote Chiaki to forget about her allegiance to the Future Foundation. Once the Forced Shutdown Sequence is revealed, surprisingly it's Chiaki who refuses to initiate it. She reveals her fear that she'll cease to exist once it happens, and that she'll forget about everyone, that she'll forget Hajime and vice versa. It's only until Hajime reassures her that it will be thanks to her that he'll remember, that even if he forgets everything there, he'll endeavor to remember her. Oh, and also Fuyuhiko uploaded Junko for pretty much the reason she gives in the video. The story ends with Chiaki's vision coming back to see Hajime's face, smiling at her through a camera, and with Kazuichi in the background working on a robotic body, a vessel for Chiaki to one day use, so she can stand with them again.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Natsumi (Fuyuhikos little sister) was part of future foundation like Ryota? Having to bare the fact that she's the sister of the mastermind.

Imagine being scouted by hopes peak academy for being “ultamite sinner” lmao so bizarre

You gotta really screw something up for gundham to call YOU weird

Can't wait for V3 but wheel decide their fate!

Peko saw herself as a tool with no space for feelings (even though she definitely had them) the whole time. She could have been willingly helped Fuyuhiko out with his Mastermind plan, then took her life at the end because well, her job is done. Which opens up possibilities for her having manipulated or influenced the other killings.

I'm just glad Hajime survived the entire time. While everyone else is concerned with the cases and mastermind, I'm just imagining how cute a side-kick Hajime would be.

I mean, I prefer Akane having a similar situation to TeruTeru where Akane killed to get out to get her siblings. Especially if the motive was money

WEEBY NO, I HADN'T FULLY PREPARED MYSELF YET 😭😭

I am absolutely in love (and absolutely depressed) with the idea that Peko took her own life because she found out the truth about Fuyuhiko! That bears so much emotional weight! But I think she might have also done it in the way that all the other suicide victims did it for, which was to end the killing game! So going by the idea that this is a type of ceremony thing for the yakuza by showing you are willing to cut all emotional ties, maybe Peko knew this or found this out during the time she found out Fuyuhiko was the Mastermind and other than the fact that she would be utterly devastated, she would also use that moment to try and put a stop the killing game once and for all; by having Fuyuhiko realize that HE killed Peko by her killing herself. Trying to stop the killing game by making him realize he just killed the person he loved most. A last ditch attempt by Peko to restore Fuyuhiko's humanity. And maybe this can be the way that they stop Fuyuhiko in the very end

....oh God I just came up with the perfect explanation for the Peko suicide and it's so fucked up. What if Fuyuhiko flat out ordered her to?

Peko killed for ✨JUSTICE ✨

My wheel was quite nuttier, I had Fuyuhiko as the protag and had still had the Ultimate Imposter as the Ch 1 victim and Mikan as the ch 3 killer and ironically enough had Nagito kill Hajime in Ch 4 and I too had Fuyuhiko as the mastermind with Peko as his intel

Akane: "Oh cool, there's one cream puff left!" Runs up to it. Ibuki: Casually walks up. "Oh cool, cream puff." Eats it. Akane: Ibuki:

Komaeda was just THAT jealous of Mahiru and Saionji's friendship

I could see soniya’s trial kind of with the same motive like Kirumi

The fact that Kyoko and Chiaki were both protags is crazy, I bet that Saihara will be the next one to continue the trend lmao

Considering Mikan is one of the survivors, I'm sure most of the time the investigations would go by so quickly like damn

I can’t wait for the V3 version! I really hope my man K1-B0 survived!

This was an incredible AU Weeby. I'm excited to see the next one.

Great content glad to see you spinnign the wheel again

I don't really know what to say besides your reactions to these hypothetical chapters are so much fun. Feeding the algorithm! Looking forward to the V3 one!

Fuyuhiko, surviving trial after trial, starts to realize he doesn't want the rest of the students (and Peko) to die. However he can't stop the killing game from inside, so he reveals his secret to Peko, who, knowing he's going to die, sacrifices herself before he can reveal the truth to the others. At the end due to his guilt of losing Peko, he proposes a final trial for everyone.

Oh simple, Neko knew Fuyuhiko plan this event after feeling bored and went along with it. Fuyuki assure her that since this world is a simulator, everyone should be fine. However, as the event unfold, all the bond Neko build with other characters start to feel real so every death feel like a cut to the soul so to make Fuyuki stop the game, she kill herself. Fuyuki after seeing this, tried to stop but can't. The next best option was to come clean to everyone that he was the mastermind and he does the killing game to setitate his lingering ultimate despair side.

Chiaki as a protagonist who is equally memory wiped could give you a wonderful dynamic with Monomi where the latter could converse with the former but suspiciously leaves statements that makes Monomi seem more malicious when you ignore the others are Remnants of Despair ("Just remember, they would not do right by you if they had your position." "You don't fully trust them, right? Monokuma means they are free to do whatever they want..."). Plus the finale ending with Alter Junko trying to convince Chiaki that there's no future for her beyond the program for Chiaki especially ("You really want to commit suicide for these remnants? Cause that's like, what'll happen ya'know!") Case 1 Akane kills Ibuki: Keeping to the theme of as canon viable as possible, the easiest way this would play out would be as an accident from Akane rough-housing with Ibuki. The trial might be played rather lax due to the resort setting and most the cast being either unsure how serious the bear is about execution and trial. Maybe the ease of its discovery and the light hearted behaviour of the more comical characters like, say, Teruteru, angers the mastermind and makes the execution especially brutal with Monokuma demonstrating a temper (foreshadowing the mastermind), "Do I have your attention NOW? You can't escape and deny it, you are in a killing game! You will kill, you will hunt the blackened, you will escape, you will accuse and you will one way or another see death! AM I CLEAR?!" Case 2 Sonia kills Gundham: We can't deny that we are in a killing game? Well fine, but that wasn't the only game that was in play in here. So the gang try to use the Heart-throbbing school trip as a cover over the killing game which frustrates the bear and has Monomi pleased that love is prevailing, cause you can't possibly kill in the name of love right? Everyone looks at Kazuichi when Gundham's corpse is revealed, on for the trial to show someone else to blame, Sonia. I would say that rather than the Sonia simping over Gundham deal, it would be more tragic if it was a "I want my love to be happy" case, where Sonia learned that Gundham was miserable in this gilded cage of Yabberwock Island. He thinks no one else truly cares for their lives enough to wish to escape and are just willingly submitting to the cage the bear has left them. Sonia decides to humour him with a hunt, the victim is free from prison and the killer tries to free themselves. Case 3 Nagito kills Saionji and Mahiru: What's more despairing than a murder? TWO MURDERS! Especially when everyone has basically been locked down by Imposter following the dramatic backfire of the last case. Now Imposter has assembled a squad to make no one leave their homes without their essential oversight. This angers Mahiru who thinks that the Imposter's guards are just stupid boys without their brains in their trousers (something Teruteru and Kazuichi don't help dissuading when standing with Nekomaru, Nagito and Imposter) and Saionji just gets loudly whiny about missing Mahiru. So naturally, with the luck of being able to win the straw draws of patrolling Mahiru and Saionji to set up his double murder, Nagito slips them letters from each other to make them sneak and meet in supposed secret, into a trap for Nagito to kill them. I read someone suggesting that Nagito should unfurl his chaotic hope loving self as a breakdown during this trial and I agree, up to this point you could have him act as a Makoto like hope child that earns some snark from Hajime when it gets too saccharine, only for Nagito to have the last word with knowing Hajime is a fraud with no talent whose opinion Nagito no longer cares for come the trial (a monokuma motive of everyone getting a secret about somebody else could be a brilliant reveal for this as well as letting Nagito use that motive as a prompt for the 2 victims to quickly get out and violate the lockdown. As for the secret of Chiaki, I would give that to Teruteru. While Kazuichi will have chilled on any of his less savoury characteristics following Sonia's execution, Teruteru would need a different prompt for him to develop, what better than knowing that Chiaki is a fake student sent by a shadowy organisation to harm them? After the trial it could make for a chilling stinger with Chiaki agreeing to have dinner with him, fans assuming it's a stunt for him to perv, only for him to show that his platter is the motive note that says "Chiaki is a fake student aligned with the Future Foundation." He eats the paper in front of her, "Ah don figure why you gon do us right like ya do cher, saving us from Monokuma's executions, so imma let you git along. But if I think you are bout a go hang us high..." Wipes his mouth with the napkin "watch your plate." And he leaves, trusting Chiaki for now and ultimately to the end of the killing game with his goofball nature now shielding his true colours as watching Chiaki like a hawk...even missing Mikan's most recent trip out of her own clothes the next morning. Case 4 Nekomaru murders Imposter: Seeing that up to this point, Leader Imposter has still been surviving up to this point and promising to keep everyone on the island alive, only to be smacked with failure each time. First case he tries to get everyone to forget that there is a killing game, Akane spoils that by killing Ibuki accidentally. Imposter encourages friend groups to make everyone too friendly to kill, the lovebirds murder each other and then trying the opposite? Cue Nagito manipulating bffs Mahiru and Saionji into their demises. To say Imposter is crest-fallen would be down-playing. He then gets rather weird, seemingly acting much more like, well, the original Togami, becoming distant and more combative to the class, as though deliberately motivating people to want him dead (Some vary from "dishonouring my family" to "stealing the last skewer right off my plate"). All of this is a plan to of course, fake a suicide where everyone was actually the murderer but the plan is foiled by Nekomaru after the atter actively tries to look for the unpopular leader, only to walk into the suicidal Imposter. Nekomaru tries to stop the plan since "your life matters too, idiot!" but a mix of determination from both sides causes Imposter to become injured to the point of bleeding out, only for Nekomaru to choose to live by his belief in self-preservation and coup-de-grace Imposter. Case 5 Peko kills herself: In feudal Japan, there was a special seppuku that would be performed in protest to a master's behaviour and question their fitness to rule. Needless to say, I can see Peko reaching this point watching the Mastermind go to the most recent motive of destroying the entire island until killings return. In her grip, her case 3 motive, a note on her master. Much like in DR1 however, a certain bear hides this to instigate a trial, only for the discovery of the suicide (which is admittedly going to be pretty quick if Mikan is sticking this game unless Monokum sabotage goes further) to lead into motive, this being protest of her master...the Mastermind of this game. The Mastermind is Fuyuhiko: So, how to keep the Program and such while adapting to Fuyuhiko? Well this time, the remnants of despair were a project of Fuyuhiko's making. A clique outside the Yakuza that gave Fuyuhiko a weapon to control it, tricking his friends into gang warfare for his benefit ("Sonia, tell your people that these informants were your recent kidnappers", "Say Hajime, your family got you on a big allowance, I need you to out bid a property my sister is eyeing up" etc), only to get them so immersed that both he and his friends become something wholly different, a criminal syndicate born from one classroom that engulfed all of Hope's Peak into its staff roll: Ultimate Despair. With the Future Foundation's help, the Yakuza detain these remnants of despair and the boss, still wanting his boy back, sets Fuyuhiko the ultimatum of kill off these friends who corrupted you and you can return to the family. The future foundation realise this too late and only upon the finale do they know enough to jump in and start shutdown...only for Fuyuhiko to set ultimatums to sease the shutdown, including warning Chiaki that she would die ultimately, and the restored remnants would never remember her to that her for it...even if they cared to.

A third explaination is that Peko killed herself to kill everyone to serve her master or show him that she loved them more than this and then he would be sad to see what she done to help him

My two favorite characters dying chapter 1. This is what true despair feels like.

I love when you do these!

Chiaki as the protagonist: Let’s freaking go!!!

As soon as I saw fuyuhiko as the masterminding said; “Imma head out”

I decided to make an alternate-scenario for chapter 3 :) - Mahiru and Hiyoko had plans (kind of like the original) and nagito found out. Due to him wanting to cause a killing. Hiyoko showed up early, not knowing what was coming for her. Nagito was hiding somewhere, waiting for the best opportunity to strike. And the opportunity happened. He hit Hiyoko with a wrench, causing her to die immediately. Mahiru came a bit late, after she arrived she saw something dreadful. Hiyokos dead body, horrified before she could tell anyone what she saw, nagito hit her with the wrench aswell. Causing them to die together.

Spoiler: mastermind and case 5 I think fuyuhiko demanded peko to kill, but she couldn’t kill any of the other s because of friendship. So, because she still sees herself as a weapon and her mixed emotions, she came to one conclusion: following her master’s command for the last time and protecting her friends by killing herself… And the reveal of her suicide would drive fuyuhiko in a despair inducing insanity…

Love the change in font for the spoiler warning, I think this difference fits very well with the games ^v^

I wanna know what Teruteru's character arc would have been considering in this he had the ENTIRE game to change.

I’d like to say in a separate comment that this was a fun video! Thank you for making it!

Soda would totally be a big suspect in that second trial, as well!

I am living for this series, both of my main favorites were protags. First Kyoko, now Chiaki

I love the idea of Akane as the Ultimate Sinner!! Honestly it kind of makes sense! She can be the embodiment of the 7 deadly sins, and they show in her personality already: Gluttony with how she eats, Lust with her outfit, Pride or Wrath with her fighting... Maybe she killed to fulfill one of the sins? (Or maybe I'm going too Se7en here?)

Teruteru making it to the end makes me so incredibly happy Easily my favorite spin the wheel yet ;v; My boy can see his mom again

Maybe the Case 1 for this trial could work better if there was a glitch in the neo-world program and Akane was never cleared of her Ultimate Despair behaviours before entering, or was perhaps only partially cleared of them. They could resurface during Chapter 1 which leads to her killing Ibuki.

Loving these videos Weeby!

The first thing I thought of when thinking about Chiaki being the protagonist and probably still having the same twist of her being an AI is a kind of Roxas from the beginning of Kingdom Hearts 2 situation (IYKYK). Maybe instead of dying, she goes into a coma and an AI of her is created in hopes of uploading it into her real body and waking her up; and the conflict in the final trial can stay pretty much the same too, because they could make her think that the memories she made with everyone during the killing game would be lost if she got uploaded and she would effectively cease to be, even if her real self woke up.

Weeby: like, he forged a s^icide note Heathers fans: *you called?*

This is weird but the way you talk is so calming and satisfying

I imagine that peko could of maybe had a Sakura style death

Hello Midori, I appriciate you taking your time to accompany weebynewz and teach her the ropes

I did an SSBU version of this based on the most popular fighters. Here is how it went. The original protagonist was Chrom. Chapter 1: Wolf was killed by Roy. Chapter 2: Hero committed suicide. Chapter 3: Ganondorf and Cloud were killed by Joker. Chapter 4: Bayonetta was killed by Chrom. The new protagonist was Inkling. Chapter 5: Link was killed by Terry, as the mastermind behind the game was Ike. The survivors were Young Link, Snake, Marth, Inkling, and Banjo-Kazooie.

NOOOO SONIA WHYYYYY, MY HEART, THE SHIP

…this wheel spin -ronpa was legit just a “lovebirds die” game lol

This is such a fantastic idea! Can't wait for protagonist Kokichi Ouma in the V3 version. 🤣

Chiaki’s arc that you described, it’s super similar to an arc in a very popular Danganropa fan game that I will not stay because of spoilers! But it was interesting to see how it could definitely play out that way too!

Great scenario creation! I was low key hoping she'd roll for who the Ultimate Hope/Izuru was and if it didn't hit Hajime what kind of scenario that could have been. Would have been very interesting I think!

A theory I had for Peko is that the motive is “all or nothing” in a way. Basically if you didn’t kill you’d get a live video of the most important thing in your life being demolished. It’s the most avoidable motive, yet the most damaging in a way. Especially if you consider who’s living currently. Except, for peko it’s fuyuhiko, a faked letter saying how he’s gonna take his own life soon due to all his connections. He’s given up and doesn’t want to see his friends,and especially peko, get hurt. Of course, the letter is fake and Fuyuhiko got the same one, except it’s “made by peko”. She takes her own life writing a note, saying “Young master, no. Fuyuhiko. I know everyone matters to you. I know how you truly are, and I know what I’m doing, or WAS doing. I’m sorry I had to end it like this. Please, continue to grow and bond, for me and clan. I love you. -Pekoyama” Fuyuhiko in the trial keeps fighting Chiaki, yelling and screaming that she, Peko pekoyama, wouldn’t commit suicide. It ends at Fuyuhiko voting himself whilst everyone else votes Peko. Although he voted wrong he still lives. (I did this cause I’m pretty sure Taka voted himself and not Mondo and he still lived) He becomes more social (or at least tries to be) and he carries the burden of Pekos life. Forever. That is, until mastermind spin chose him 😒

This is a fun wheel, I like how much effort you put into talking about the story possibilities. I love the Chapter 2 and 3 in this! Before we found out who the MASTERMIND is, I figured Peko would happily kill herself for Fuyuhiko. I mean, she kinda subs herself in for him in the actual game. Maybe it was to protect him in some way. I wonder what story arcs Teruteru or Mikan would have to go through to make it to the end. Kazuichi I think gets his development in Chapter 2 when his perfect image of Sonia shatters; he can be a symbol of the indirect pressure Sonia feels to prompt her to commit that second murder. Mikan I think is a story of personal growth and confidence in the face of such despair. Maybe her turning point is as simple as Chapter 3 where, after being bullied so much by Hiyoko, she begins to stand up for herself a little bit thanks to the influence of the main characters. When Hiyoko is killed by an even meaner Nagito, Mikan might feel sorry for her despite everything and really zero in on who deserves her kindness and devotion. Her selectivity could become her making new friends with the main protagonists/survivors, and standing up for what she wants more. Teruteru's a difficult one, oof. Maybe we see the same desperation from the game come in and we realize this lecherous chef is just as weak as anyone else; to juxtapose how he cares for others with his cooking, the survivors must care for him a bit. We find out he really wants to see his Mom again. Different to the original game where this goes unrealized until it's too late, in light of one of the murders we focus in on Teruteru a bit and help him through.

this is so much cooler than all the other “wheel decides their fate” videos lol

I can't wait for the V3 wheel, lol. This series has been a blast.

So I guess Hajime still has main character plot armor, even though he's not the main character.

honestly, why is this possible an awesome AU of DR2? seriously, this could be a major fanfiction story.

I think that chapter 2 could be like what happened with Mondo and Chihiro where Sonia gets stressed out by the motive (a new version of Twilight Syndrome in this case) and ends up killing Gundam in a fit of rage, but Kazuichi covers up every thing for her without she even knowing
