Yasuhiro...
Ding dong, dang dong! A body has been found.
After a set period of free time, we will commence the classroom trial!
The nerve! He just had to come back...
...only to leave behind an unwanted message!
Hifumin, not cool!
You two truly are cold, callous, and in dire need of calcium.
I am in a rotten mood!
He has spoiled this round of the game.
"Yasuhiro," was it?
Yasuhiro Hagakure... He is the only conceivable possibility.
That settles it.
The one who donned that strange cosplay and attacked one person after the next...
...before killing Ishimaru and Yamada and then attempting to hide the bodies was...
...Hagakure!
One other still remains unaccounted for.
Kirigiri!
'Tis unlikely, but could it be possible that Kirigiri is an accomplice?
If memory serves correctly,
only the one who personally carried out the murder may graduate.
So even if she assisted in the murder...
...she'd get 0% satisfaction!
Although I believe Hagakure is most assuredly the culprit,
we should nonetheless conduct an investigation.
I'm gonna search for Kirigiri and Hagakure.
"Commence the Investigation"
I wonder where those two went...
Naegi!
Kirigiri?!
Where were you?! Everyone's been--
Could you go get everyone?
Kirigiri, where have you been this whole time?
Answer me! Why did you have us come all of the way out here?
I found this earlier.
Wha--?!
Justice Robo?!
"Not Normal Arc: Return of the New Century Galaxy Legend! O Armored Hero, Stand upon the Earth!"
What a nightmare!
I knew that "Yasuhiro" was in reference to Hagakure.
But what was he doing in a locker?
Help me up!
He can't get up since it doesn't bend at the waist.
--Please help me up! --It's a clear design flaw.
A clasp?
"Justice Robo Costume"
Ow, ow, ow!
--Try to be gentle! --You certainly built this to fit tightly around your body.
--Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! --You certainly built this to fit tightly around your body.
Don't make crap you can't take off by yourself!
I didn't make this thing!
So, like...
I got a memo sayin' to meet up in the wee hours.
"I found a hole that looks like a secret passage. I can see outside. We might be able to get out..."
I went and whoosh!
"Whap!"
Someone knocked me out from behind.
When I came to, I was wearing that doofy costume!
In that case, show us the memo.
I'm pretty sure it's in my pocket... or not.
If you wish to claim innocence, you will have to provide evidence.
You better come clean, Hagakure! You attacked everyone, didn't you?
Attack?! What's this about attackin' people?
Still, I am amazed that you found him inside this locker by the pool.
Most impressive, Kirigiri.
Wait up, Kirigiri!
C'mon! What were you doing this whole time?
You suddenly took off and that was that...
I was investigating something.
Investigating what?
It was nothing.
--It had to be something! --It was nothing!
Anyway, I want to hurry and see the bodies.
You want to see their bodies?
It's hard to believe that came out of a girl's mouth...
Both of them died from blows to the head.
We believe that they were murdered with similar weapons.
That's all of the information we have on this case...
"A Scrap of Paper in Ishimaru's Hand" That's all of the information we have on this case...
These cases occurred one after the next,
"Yamada's Glasses" right before your eyes, correct?
That's right...
Please give me a detailed account
"Art Supply Room Flatbed Cart" of what happened at the time of the murders.
The bodies themselves will tell me the rest.
"Washed Hammer" The bodies themselves will tell me the rest.
"Memo in Yamada's Possession"
I managed to gather up some evidence,
but none of this makes any sense...
And what did Yamada mean when he left the word "Yasuhiro" with us before he died?
Was he really referring to Hagakure?
"In Session!"
Well then, let's get this classroom trial underway!
Who was the culprit that killed Yamada and Ishimaru...
...in the hopes of walking out with ten billion yen?
We already know who the culprit is!
You do, do you?
He lacks an alibi for when the chain of murders occurred and the bodies vanished.
Above all else, we found him still wearing the incriminating cosplay.
It was Yasuhiro Hagakure!
I didn't do it!
Yasuhiro... Yamada said that's the name of the culprit!
But it wasn't me! I was just knocked out cold.
Silence, ya damn killer!
Like you're one to talk!
Hagakure, it pains me to say this, but here is additional evidence.
I found these in your room, Hagakure.
These blueprints and parts speak for themselves.
They say that you are clearly the culprit, Hagakure.
"Refute" You're wrong!
About those blueprints. Did Hagakure really write them?
Why, whatever do you mean?
Well, check this out.
This is a memo that Hagakure showed me a while back.
"Kirigirins needs to see you." This is a memo that Hagakure showed me a while back.
If you compare it to those blueprints, isn't the writing style clearly different?
He merely changed his writing style.
My penmanship ain't that great!
And... I bet that after the culprit killed Ishimaru,
he used the flatbed cart to move the corpses.
There're signs on the cart and floor, indicating it was used to drag the bloody bodies!
But since the Justice Robo costume doesn't bend at the waist,
he couldn't push the handleless cart while wearing that.
In short, Hagakure, who had been stuffed into the Justice Robo costume,
could not be the culprit.
Well said, Naegs!
Go, Super Detective!
Wait just a sec!
Then how do you explain the picture Celes took?
Yamada also accused Justice Robo of attacking him.
So long as those facts remain, Hagakure is the only conceivable culprit.
Hey! W-Wait a sec!
It is too soon to jump to conclusions.
Don't you agree that it would be best to discuss other possibilities first?
If Hagakure is not the culprit...
Then that would make you, Kirigiri, the culprit as you were the only other person...
...who was not with us at the time of the murders.
Even with the aid of a flatbed, is anyone capable of pushing someone...
as large as Yamada from the first floor to the third?
The ogre might be able to!
But the ogre was on the second floor 'round then.
Only one person could have carried him up there.
The body simply needed to move itself.
In other words, Yamada walked up the stairs himself.
Incredible! You mean to say that Yamada was alive?
No, he was most assuredly dead.
What makes you so certain?
The Corpse Discovery Announcement.
I believe that announcement was played precisely because Yamada's body was found.
But weren't Ishimaru and Yamada's bodies found at approximately the same time?
Perhaps Monokuma shirked his duties and ran the announcement once for both of them.
I didn't shirk my duties!
I made sure to play the announcement when the body was first found.
Discounting a change in their positions,
there weren't any discrepancies between the bodies before and after they were moved.
He could not possibly have been "playing possum."
"Refute" You're wrong!
Do you have a problem?
When we first found Yamada's body, his glasses were covered with blood.
But when we found him in the art supply room, his glasses were clean.
Yamada wiped his glasses clean so he could walk!
Then where did all of that blood come from?
I recall seeing blood for transfusions being stored
in the refrigerator in the nurse's office.
He probably used that.
When the bastard was playin' dead,
he musta gone overboard splatterin' blood all over himself.
Hifumin didn't seem too bright.
It was miraculous no one found him when he was on the move.
Now that I think back...
Whilst we were searching for the corpses, the art supply room was locked.
That door was designed such that it could only be locked from the inside...
Mayhap the one inside was none other than Yamada,
having just dragged in Ishimaru's body.
No...!
I have evidence to support that Yamada was involved in this case as an assailant.
This was in the victim's--Ishimaru's--hand.
The rest of the note was tucked away in Yamada's underwear.
--Inside his underwear?! --Did you go fishing for it?!
It was merely in his underwear.
It's not like I stuck my hand inside his socks.
Huh? The one I got said to meet up somewhere else.
Right. It isn't the same memo.
Yamada used this memo to lure Ishimaru out and kill him.
He knew that it could be used as evidence,
hence he hid it where no one could find it.
Inside his underwear!
Just a sec!
Going by the order of the hammers, Yamada got killed first...
...and then Ishimaru was killed after him, right?
Maybe the culprit painted numbers on those hammers to confuse us...
In all actuality, Yamada wasn't killed until after Ishimaru was murdered.
The numbers had nothing to do with the order they were murdered.
No way...
In which case, what was used to kill Yamada?
There was a hammer hanging on the wall that had been washed.
That is the final weapon.
In short, that was Justice Hammer #5.
And Yamada isn't just a victim...
Having helped carry the corpse, Yamada was the culprit's accomplice!
But accomplices can't graduate.
So I'm sure the true culprit tricked Yamada into helping commit the murder!
Well, I'd say that's it for the debate.
Think ya could start wrapping things up?
Who is the true culprit that killed Ishimaru and deceived Yamada...
...only to murder him once his services were no longer needed?
Who's the real culprit that tricked Yamada and then killed him?!
Aren't we outta clues?
Has the culprit blundered somewhere?
I doubt someone who devised such an elaborate plan would make any careless mistakes.
Really, it must be Hagakure or the alibi-lacking Kirigiri.
Wh-What should we do?! At this rate, everyone's gonna die!
Excluding the actual killer.
Isn't there something...? Anything?
I need to think back...
Remember what happened!
Remember...
Remember...!
At this rate, everyone will be killed...
We will be killed, just like they were...
Celes, could you please repeat what you said...
...back at the nurse's office when we found Yamada's body?
I believe I said, "At this rate, everyone will be killed.
We will be killed, just like they were." Does that sound right?
That's just what I thought.
At that point in time, we still hadn't told you that Ishimaru was dead.
In which case, how did you know that it wasn't just one person,
but multiple people who had been killed, Celes?
Naegi, I see you have a vivid imagination.
With that in mind, would you care to explain this photograph?
Was that... really a picture of Justice Robo dragging Yamada off?
Wasn't it actually a picture of Yamada carrying Justice Robo?
It seems you are most determined to turn me into the villain.
Freaking imbecile! I'll have you know you're gravely, gravely mistaken!
C-Celes?
B-But that's the only possibility that makes any sense!
Forgotten already?! Yamada left behind a certain little word before he kicked the can!
He said the culprit was Yasuhiro.
In other words, it was Yasuhiro Hagakure!
No, there is only one person it could possibly be.
Shut the hell up, you damn brat! I'll frigging kill you!
Celes, you're the only one who hasn't told us your real name!
There is no way I've got a lame-ass last name like Yasuhiro!
You're pissing me off!
Then tell us! Celes, what is your real name?
Very well! You'd better give me your full and undivided attention!
My real name is Celestia Ludenberg!
Unless you can prove otherwise, that is the truth, you slimy turd!
You're wrong.
Aren't our digital handbooks programmed to show our names when they turn on?
Could you show me yours?
Celes, you've lost.
To hear, "You've lost."
I wonder how long it has been since I heard that last...
Those are heavy words, aren't they?
You admit it was you? That you were the culprit?
At last she admits to her crimes...
I am not such a poor loser that I will struggle...
...even after the declaration of my defeat.
Monokuma, could we begin now? No, I should ask, "May we draw this to a close?"
Huh?
Then let's begin the highly anticipated Voting Time!
You were totally right once again!
The one who schemed up this whole plan was Celestia Ludenberg, or Taeko Yasuhiro!
Taeko Yasuhiro...
I swear! If only that swine Yamada could have remained silent until death took him.
A pity...
It would seem that I was wrong to have ever teamed up with another.
You were the one who stole that from the dressing room, weren't you?
Indeed! It was me.
I took the liberty of using it to deceive Yamada.
That is in Ishimaru's room.
Wha--?! I-I just knew he stole her!
But wasn't she supposed to scream if either of us got anywhere near her?
That is why Ishimaru forced me to steal her for him.
Wha--?!
Please forgive me! To be honest with you, Ishimaru assaulted me.
How dare he abuse a lady on top of stealing my girl!
I'm gonna kill Ishimaru! I'm gonna save my girl!
In that case, would you care to team up with me?
What?
To think you even used Ishimaru...
According to those plans,
what was Yamada supposed to do after he was done playing dead?
I told him that when he reappeared, he was to explain to everyone,
"I just barely escaped with my life."
And Hifumin bought that?
The plan was for me to kill someone while you were busy questioning him.
That way, Yamada would not be a suspect since he had an alibi.
Clear until the end, he believed that my plan was meant to help both of us escape.
Love makes people go daffy, doesn't it?
So you were planning to discard Yamada clear from the start?
That is a given.
This plan was meaningless unless the one who played dead truly died later on.
What drove you to such lengths?
Right! You've been tellin' us to accept the idea of living here since we--
That's obviously bullshit!
You see, I'm more freaking desperate...
...than any of you to escape this hellhole!
After all, I have a dream...
It's my dream to live in a western castle.
It is my dream, my goal, and my measure of success to spend the rest of my days somewhere like that!
I risked my life gambling for high stakes in the underworld...
...all for that dream!
If I added Monokuma's ten billion yen to my earnings, that dream would come true!
That is how close I came.
It's a pity! My dream has proven to be all too fleeting.
How can you be so calm and collected?!
You're about to get killed!
Aren't you scared?
As far as lying is concerned, I am proud to say that I am rather high end.
Not only can I deceive others, but I can also deceive my own heart.
If I am ever reborn, I am certain that I will come back as Marie Antoinette.
But if you are, you'll just get executed again...
Do you... believe that perhaps that is "hope"?
I was unable to see it as such.
That is precisely why-- No, I am being redundant.
Well then, I hope you take care.
May we meet again in our next lives.
"Celes was voted guilty."
"Time for her punishment."
She hid it right under our noses.
I'm glad it's okay...
It looks like that solves one problem.
Hey. Kirigiri, what were you doing by yourself all day today?
There is no need to tell you now.
I was worried about you while you were gone!
I didn't hear from you after you vanished!
It-it's like you--
It's only natural for you to think that I'm the mastermind's mole.
Aren't you also suspicious of me?
N-No, I'm not! I trust you, Kirigiri.
You trust me...?
Of course I do! We're friends.
That's why I want you to trust me, too.
I see... Very well.
In that case, perhaps I will give this trusting thing a try...
I will trust you.
During my investigation, I found a certain room.
It's in the boy's restroom on the second floor.
There aren't any surveillance cameras or monitors.
You'll find a storage closet.
It's beyond there.
A hidden door?!
"Hope's Peak High School Student Roster" "Hope's Peak High School--"
"You must not leave this place"?
It's gone...
Everything... is gone...!
What's going on?
Wh-What the heck?! What's this about?!
"Surviving Members: 8 Remaining"
"Surviving Members: 7 Remaining"
