FOR THE DRDT DEVS

honestly thought arei would be a chapter 2 culprit but i did predict that she would die in chapter 2

did you expect arei to die this early?

Okay tiny theory

spoilers (obvi)

We've noticed so far that David seems to remember Xander, despite the memory wipe.

...which most of the cast kinda glazes over (at least the fandom catches this)

But do you remember who else remembers stuff from the past, despite the memory wipe?

....if you guessed Teruko, you'd be correct :)

Similar to how David remembers Xander, Teruko remembers that there were killing games happening during The Tragedy and not just mass murder.

Here's my theory: Each cast member has a specific detail that wasn't wiped from their memories.

This is probably not true, but it's just a thought.

well this aged well lmao

ace appreciation (character-writing-wise)

can we talk about how ace's character writing is top-notch? like everyone talks about how great teruko and david's writing is, for example, but i don't feel like enough people would also put ace in that category, when he definitely belongs there.

i may not like ace as a character, but damn he has some great character writing. i'll probably do a small analysis on him later, but idk yet.

it's okay! fangans take time. good luck, and take your time!!

Well, it's been a year since the last episode came out, and the rest of ch2 still isn't done. I am well aware that this is the case so there is no need to remind me.

Working on ch2p2 is very difficult and tiring, and it is more time-consuming than usual. So it seems it will take a long time. I will not go into reasons as to why this is the case. I rewrote this post many times trying to express my feelings or explain the reasons things are taking this long, but it seems like it always comes out as sounding really miserable. So instead, I'm just going to say nothing about the matter and move on.

It would be nice to post some preview of ch2p2, but it would either be spoilers, or it would be so generic to avoid spoiling anything that it kind of looks indistinguishable from the first half of the trial. It feels pointless. That is why, for the time being, it's possible I might be posting a lot more about things unrelated to ch2p2, like my other Fangan. This is just because I feel compelled to make a post once a month, yet I am running out of things I can say or show about DRDT.

I can make no promises about the release date of ch2p2 at this time. But I promise that it will be done one day. No matter how painful it becomes or how many difficulties I face, I want to see it through to the end. It might take a long time, but I can't give up. So please put your faith in me.

As always, thank you everyone for the support you've given me.

Some addition things that are of no concern to the casual viewer ↓

There is a lot of discussion about the "progress bar" and sometimes I receive questions about it, so I will talk about it for a bit.

Yes, I update it frequently. But it reflects "time left in the story before completion", not "time left in real life before completion."

Basically, it poorly accounts for things that take a long time to make, like the argument armament, the closing argument, the execution. For example, it's lucky if I can sketch out a single panel of the closing argument per day, but once it's all finished it will only look like a few percentage points increased. Even if it's at 90% I feel like there would still be a long time before things were finished.

As they say, "the final uphill stretch is the hardest of all"... Or something like that................

nico angy

I see a lot of people talk about how Ace and Levi have difficulty managing their anger, but so does Nico.

Nico? Anger issues? Yes, obviously.

(I'm gonna make a bigger post about this later so stay tuned ig)

THE O IN OKAZAKI STANDS FOR OPP BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO TO MY BOY WADA???? HE DIDN'T DESERVE THAT!

Honestly I'm redoing my tierlist for this fangan after this chapter ends.

whereas i'm a music ed major experiencing how fucked up everything is while simultaneously experiencing the child-like whimsy of being bad at a new instrument each semester.

the universal college experience, no matter your major, is learning how remarkably fucked everything is. except business majors theyre having a great time learning to do basic arithmetic and and staring at that one supply and demand graph where the line goes up

honestly wondered if someone would do this

crying bc this ain't canon
