Part 121: Super High-school Level Update #109
Trial 13 (Youtube via Polsy)Eh...?
She was... saving me...?
So, perhaps Kirigiri-san...
Maybe she noticed I was being attacked...
...and came to my rescue...
...and then, could she have...?!
If that's what happened, could Kirigiri-san have...
...Killed... to save me...?
That's it. We've talked enough. It's time to reach a conclusion...
...Wait a second.
There's no doubt in my mind that I am not the culprit...
Don't tell me... you still won't accept your defeat...
...You say that, but you should know best that I'm not the culprit, shouldn't you?
Isn't that so, Togami-kun...?
I... should?
Eh...?
Togami-kun should know best that Kirigiri-san isn't the culprit...?
What does she mean...?
Phase 10 (Youtube via Polsy)
DISCUSSION START!
Evidence bullets: Wooden tag, Events time table, Togami's testimony
What you said just now... What did you mean...?
I meant just what it sounded like...
The fact that I'm not the culprit...
Is something you should know best.
Togami-chi, are you hiding something from us?!
There's no way Byakuya-sama would hide something from me...!
Kirigiri... do you have proof you're not the culprit...?
Is that what you're saying...?
According to your theory...
I hid evidence in a locker at the dojo...
And left the key in my own room, didn't I?
Could I really have done such a thing?
Togami-kun should know best that Kirigiri-san isn't the culprit...?
But, why Togami-kun, of all people?
What's on Kirigiri's mind? If Togami is involved, we can pull something she says out and use it.
And left the key in my own room, didn't I?
Evidence bullet: left the key in my own room
Kirigiri... do you have proof you're not the culprit...?
YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG!
Trial 14 (Youtube via Polsy)
Kirigiri-san. Are you saying you shouldn't have been able to enter your own room?
She couldn't...? Why...?
Because... the key to her room was in Togami-kun's possession...
I see... So that's what you meant...
It's true. I... do have the key to your room...
Which leaves me without a key or the ability to enter my own room...
In other words, I couldn't have possibly left that locker key in my room...
...Isn't that so?
That... does seem to make sense...
I'm glad you finally understand...
............
No... That's wrong...
There's a clear contradiction is Kirigiri-san's argument right now. She's clearly lying...
But... That's not...
That's not like her at all!
It's not like Kirigiri-san to rely on such a blatant lie as a last resort...
............
Does she want to push me into a corner so badly...?
Is it because she's the culprit...?
Or maybe...
There's some hidden meaning in what she said before...?
If I am executed now, this school's mystery will remain unsolved.
I cannot let that happen...!
That's just the mastermind's trap!
The mastermind's trap...?
Is the mastermind... trying to trap Kirigiri-san...?
But, what if...
What if that's wrong...?
...What should I do?
What's... the right choice...?
What should... I do...?
The mastermind's... trap...?
The victim is Mukuro Ikusaba...?
Kirigiri-san killed her...?
What does Kirigiri-san know...?
What should...
I do...?
Kirigiri-san is lying...
But I'm the only one...
...who knows about that lie...
I'm the only one... who can point it out...
Who...
...Should I trust...?
What should....
...I do...?
The mastermind's... trap...
If one wants to move forward, danger can't be avoided.
To solve a mystery, one must be fully aware of the risks, and keep on going anyway.
...Don't you agree?
What should I do...?!
Should I reveal Kirigiri-san's lie...? I must decide, right now...!
Reveal her lie / Do not reveal her lie / Run away
This is a trial. She's lying. How can we ever reach the truth if we don't have every fact out in the open?
What Kirigiri-san just said... is clearly a lie.
A... lie?
...Isn't that right, Kirigiri-san?
............
If that's what you claim...
Let's hear your reasons. Where, exactly, was I lying...?
Kirigiri-san is clearly lying. The reason for that is, surely...
There is something about the truth she wants to hide!
Phase 11 (Youtube via Polsy)
DISCUSSION START!
Evidence bullets: Kirigiri's testimony, Togami's testimony, Monobear's testimony
The key to my room...
...was in Togami-kun's hands...
That's unquestionable, isn't it?
She's right. It was...
In other words, I couldn't enter my own room.
So, what they found in your room...
That key they found there...
Someone else put it there... That's the only option.
Someone else must have put the key in Kirigiri-san's room...
Is that... really the case...?
Yes, she's clearly lying. She told us so herself.
Evidence bullet: Kirigiri's testimony
In other words, I couldn't enter my own room.
YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG!
Trial 15 (Youtube via Polsy)
No, Kirigiri-san should have been able to enter her room.
You told me that yourself, didn't you...?
Strictly speaking, it isn't.
...It's "Monobear's secret tool". A key that can open any door in this school.
Huh...?!
Monobear's secret tool...?
It's a key that can open every door in this school. Kirigiri-san stole it from the headmaster's office.
If she had that key, she could have easily entered her own room.
............
It seems we've come this far...
Are you willing to accept your own crime now...?
No, but I accept that I lost.
W...What do you mean...?
...Even if it is a trap, not being able to escape it...
...That means I lost.
That's what I mean.
...Eh?
So, maybe...
Maybe, Kirigiri-san really isn't...
...the cul...
Okay! Time's up!!
...Eh?
I'm sorry, but we're out of time! We're done. This school trial is over.
...W...Why are we having a time limit?! We've never had one before...!
It's because Kirigiri-san was late! That's why we're pressed for time!!
...And so, it's time to vote, you bastards! Please use the switches in front of you!
I think we all know who the culprit is, though...
Upu... Uupupupupupupu!!
............
Upupu... Well done. You are completely right...
Ahahahahaha! You did it again!!
We... were right...?
Does that mean... Kirigiri-san was the culprit...? But...
It's strange... Something is strange here...
This entire school trial was strange...!
K...Kirigiri-san...!!
............
I prepared a special punishment today, too. Let's start it!
Time to get excited! It's punishment time!
Detention (Youtube via Polsy)
And just like that... Mukuro Ikusaba's school trial was over...
Was Kirigiri-san really the culprit...? Or maybe...
...But there was no way to answer that question anymore.
Eventually, even I...
Even I stopped thinking about it.
And, following Mukuro Ikusaba's school trial...
Following that final school trial...
No murder ever took place again in Hope's Peak Academy.
And like that, in exchange for everyone's sacrifice, we finally achieved peace.
Peace inside this school...
Our very own peace...
And also, our very own hope.
I guess that's it, then. Thanks for reading Dangan Ronpa!
