Yeah I'm talking about Eden again :)
I wonder what her background/backstory is, and why she acts the way she does.
If i had to guess, her philosophy might have something to do with her identity as a mixed race person (I think the same about Whit also, but I think it's more prominent with Eden since she's blasian rather than waisan.)
IDK, just a hunch. Maybe I'll make a bigger post about this later.
I'll be the first to say that for an amateur, this series is a close to perfect piece of media that I have consumed in a while. This series has helped me in a tough time of my life and I just want drdt dev and the team that I'm very grateful. You guys deserve a well deserved break and I'm looking forward to what the future will hold.

I was wondering what fate and MonoTV had to do with each other, especially since a robot can't really have a fate.
And then this line popped up.
How can a robot feel pain or guilt of any kind? That's not quite adding up.
I think it's possible that MonoTV is directly controlled by a human being, much like Monokuma was in the canon games. But, who could that person be, if there even is one?
David calling Ace "boo" is hilarious
Honestly, hats off to all the VAs, especially Teruko and Ace's VAs. Well done.

-Teruko and Levi almost dying (again) was NOT on my 2024 bingo card
-Who voted for Teruko?????
-GO ACE!! TELL ARTURO!! HE CAN DO IT!!
-Ace dying of cardiac arrest is super ironic to me.
-Teruko is learning her lesson, thank goodness. Character development>>>>
Craziest post-trial ever. AND THIS IS CHAPTER 2!!! I don't even know what could happen now.
RIP Ace, you will be missed.
Just wanna mention this.
As a Black person myself, it's great to see characters like Eden and Rose (though Eden is blasian.) Black characters in media are sometimes not represented well (as in they perpetuate stereotypes) but that's not the case with Eden and Rose.
Eden specifically is the sweet, nice, more docile character (though it's established that she's more than that) but that's a rarity to see Black characters in that way.
Rose being the ultra smart but innattentive character is also not something I see in Black characters often.
I love both of them partially because I can relate to them, as a nerdy Black girl myself. My point is that both Rose and Eden break stereotypes of what Black characters can be. I'm not sure if the dev intended on this, but thank you regardless.
Speaking of Black characters in fangans and diversity in fangans in general, I'd like to see a little more (racial) diversity in fangans in general. I'm not saying every fangan should be this way, but I'd just like to see more of it.
j logic
well this aged well lmao
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.
this is especially for all y'all eden culprit truthers that still aren't convinced that ace is the culprit
i want this filled out and on my desk by monday
exactlyyyyy. there are people who wanna "criticize" the trial (which is fine) but it's really just a bunch of complaining.
I've never seen people be so toxic about a genuinely normal ass trial. It's actually baffling.
No, Chapter 2's trial is not poorly written you're just sad your pookie died.
I will post an entire defense of this trial a bit later because y'all need some discipline.
spoilers obviously.
To those of you who still think the culprit is Eden....
Think about how that doesn't work for a second. Just because she's super sus doesn't make her the culprit.
Two reasons, obviously (update: three cuz i was gonna mention the confession when writing this post earlier but i got sidetracked so yay)
Eden's strength
The vast majority of you who made Eden culprit theory posts (that I've seen) either didn't factor in her strength at all or severely overestimated it. How is Eden going to strangle someone who is both taller and heavier than she is, and then drag her body around to set a trap, especially since she's the weakest character (physically) in the cast? I don't think so.
2. The stretch band.
The one thing that ties Ace specifically to the crime and not Eden. Not sure how y'all left this one out.
3. Ace's ENTIRE CONFESSION
Again, y'all are convieniently forgetting about this. Bro confessed. Why would he do that if it wasn't him???
I don't blame the Ace fandom for being upset (trust me, I'm upset about Ace being the culprit too), but to still say that Eden is the culprit despite the evidence is another thing.
literally said this was gonna be a meme. proved me right with this art.

IT'S SO ACEOVER
i'm honestly sad, despite that i'm not a big fan of ace. we're losing a good character again :(
every single one of these is painfully accurate

this is my rite of passage into every fandom i join
how i'm feeling rn
THE SCRUM DEBATE!!! IT'S GONNA BE OVER WHO AREI'S KILLER IS, ACE OR EDEN!
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?
biblically accurate david chiem
found this on tiktok
spoily spoilers for episode 12 (mild tho)
anyone else notice that david's eyes are noticably lighter during his whole "i'm a giant xander simp" speech? (or maybe i'm trippin idk)
that's definitely the real david talking and not some phony version.
arturo is SO UNSERIOUS for pushing his "very mindful, very demure" agenda onto j and then busting out across the class trial room with
almost spit my smoothie out seeing this lmaoooo
other peoples art of david: insightful, meaningful, relevant to the latest episode

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.

spoilers (obvi, ch 2 pt. 2)
not me sitting here like (to david) "fuck you mean xander is a good person"
i have been baffled, hoodwinked, flabbergasted, and bamboozled.
