Dangan Ronpa Part #44 - Super High-school Level Update #40

Part 44: Super High-school Level Update #40

Gege---! She came here already equipped?

I have them on me so I can kill anytime, anywhere!

And since my beloved scissors are always on my body, there’s no way I’d use a rope or a dumbbell, right?

Am I wrong? I’m not wrong, am I? You bunch of losers!!

Also, I don’t know how to make tight knots, so I couldn’t have used a rope!

Unu... unununu...!

I don’t know what to think anymore... Is this serial killer really not the culprit...!?

But... that kid's body really was crucified, wasn’t it? That’s something none of us could have known, wasn’t it?

That’s the reason we decided this wasn’t a copycat crime but the real murderer’s work in the first place...

No... wait a second... There is one person...

...One person who could have copied Genocider Syo’s crime scene...!

CHOOSE A PERSON!

Oh, I guess this is going to be a short trial, then. I think hundreds of posts in this thread already reached this conclusion, so...

Togami-kun, it could have been you.

You’re someone who could easily read top secret government documents and internal police files, after all...

Furthermore, you’ve read Genocider Syo’s investigation report well before all this happened, haven’t you?

............

Y...you mean... Togami Byakuya-dono is the culprit...?

............

In that case, the reason Togami-kun presented us with his “Genocider Syo is the culprit” theory...

...was to frame Genocider Syo for his own crime.

So the one who faked the scene to make it look like my work...

...Was the pretty boy with the glasses!? I’m so turned on!!

...What do you have to say for yourself, Togami-kun! Answer quickly!

I see... You think I’m suspicious...

But let me ask you this: when did you start thinking I’m suspicious? Let’s hear your thoughts regarding that.

If I think back on it now...

It was your actions right before we discovered the body... They were a little strange...

Furthermore, those changing rooms over there...

They're suspicious... Very suspicious... Don't you also think so?

Eh? Suspicious...?

It seems no one looked in them yet. Let's start with the girls' room, shall we...?

Togami-kun decided to go into the girls’ changing room first, didn’t he? But, since he’s a boy...

...I should have started with the boys’ changing room... is that what you’re saying?

The victim was Chihiro Fujisaki. A girl. That’s why I said we should check the girls’ room first.

There’s nothing strange about that!

No... it’s still strange...!

Well, then. What is it that’s so strange about it?

Naegi... Can you tell us?

There’s a clear contradiction in Togami-kun’s reasoning...

It’s up to me... to point it out...!

Tutorial posted:

We will now add Evidence Bullet Memory to your available tools.
If you aim your target at a Weak Point and hold the triangle button...
...You will memorize that Weak Point.
A memorized Weak Point can be shot one time as an Evidence Bullet.
If you shoot a memorized Evidence Bullet, or change to a different Evidence Bullet, it will disappear from your cylinder.
That said, you can memorize as many times as you like.
When you don’t have an Evidence Bullet indicating a lie or a contradiction in your arsenal...
...Use a memorized Evidence Bullet to destroy the argument.
When should you use Evidence Bullet Memory...? That is up to you to figure out.
Just this time, we will reveal that the following discussion cannot be completed without using Evidence Bullet Memory.

This addition takes the puzzle aspect of the mini-games one step up. Now we have to decide whether the solution lies in one of the evidence bullets the game loads into the cylinder for us, or if we should use something out of the conversation itself. This first time, however, the game makes this decision very easy.

DISCUSSION START!

Evidence Bullets: Monobear File 2

You're saying Togami-kun’s actions before discovering the body are strange...

But what’s so strange about them?

Getting a chance to enter a girls’ changing room...

It’s something every man will take advantage of!

Fujisaki, the victim, is a girl...

That’s why I said we should investigate the girl’s changing room first.

It was not the time to make a detour.

What’s so strange about that?

I wish you would have taken me with you too...

After hearing what “she” said... Togami-kun’s words contain a clear contradiction!

I should destroy Togami-kun with “her” statement!

Here's how it works. First we memorize the Weak Point in Asahina's first sentence:

And now we can shoot Togami's weak point with our new Evidence Bullet, "Before discovering the body"

YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG!

By the way, I did really bad in the minigames this time. Please excuse my sloppy aiming.

What Togami-kun just said really is strange...

After all... we didn’t know who the victim was until we found the body, did we?

In short, your claim that you looked in the girls’ changing room because the victim was Fujisaki-san doesn’t hold up!

I see... That’s a good answer.

Interesting! Makoto Naegi, you’re interesting! But this kind of evidence is still weak!

Eh...?

What’s wrong? Is that all you have? You should have some other evidence, too. Let us hear it.

W...what’s going on...? Togami-kun’s attitude...
It’s as if he’s... at ease...?

He should be panicking right now... But he acts like it’s someone else’s business...

What’s wrong? You’re not done, are you? There’s more evidence, isn’t there?

I... I think there is... probably.

If it’s more evidence you want, I have some...

Regarding that discussion from before, about the differences between this case and Genocider Syo’s past murders...

There should be more evidence hiding in their details...

...Evidence that I am the culprit?

............

The differences between this case and Genocider Syo’s past murders...?
Is there really... evidence hiding there that Togami--kun is the culprit...?

What... is she talking about...?

Phase 6 (Youtube via Polsy)

DISCUSSION START!

Evidence Bullets: Desk lamp in the library, Celes' testimony, Disappearing stain

The two differences between the cases...

Shall I explain them one more time!?

The tool I use to kill are my hand-made scissors!

I also use my hand-made scissors to crucify the victims!

But what was used to crucify Fujisaki-san...

Wasn’t that a rope?

That’s right! It was most certainly a rope!

That rope sure is suspicious!

Oy, Togami! Where did you grab that rope from!?

I do not remember ever seeing that rope before...

Someone else must have sneaked it in here.

Is the evidence Togami-kun is the killer... hidden in that rope...?
That is certainly a possibility, but before that...

That thing... looked like a rope, but was it really one?

The game is slowly starting to push distracting Weak Points at this stage, ramping up the difficulty. Naegi's hint at the end is still a straight giveaway, though.
