So it's happened yet again.
The door to the game room had been blocked.
Ohgami, who was under suspicion of working as a mole,
"Monokuma Bottles" Ohgami, who was under suspicion of working as a mole,
was found dead inside.
"Bloodstain in Front of the Magazine Rack" We began to conduct the investigation
for the fourth murder case...
"Figure that Fell to the Floor" for the fourth murder case...
"Upside Down Magazine"
Naegi, come with me.
Yellow powder and footprints?
"Chemistry Lab" Yellow powder and footprints?
"Chemistry Lab" "Footprints in the Powder"
And thus, our fourth classroom trial was about to commence.
"In Session!"
So, do you think we're gonna lose another one of ya?
"All All Apologies II" So, do you think we're gonna lose another one of ya?
Or is this gonna be the end of yer school days as a whole?
Well, whadda ya say we get this ball rolling?
It's the highly-anticipated classroom trial!
"Verbal Bullet"
The culprit must be Togami, Fukawa, or Hagakure!
After all, Sakura summoned all three of you to the game room!
Hmph! It's true I received a memo asking to meet,
but I wasn't foolish enough to go!
I-I didn't go, either!
I saw what you did! Yasuhiro Hagakure is the culprit!
Eh?! What?! Y-You saw that?!
Sure did!
What are you talking about?
Sakura Ohgami asked me to see her...
B-But I was scared, so I went early and hid in a locker.
And then...!
Sorry, but could you give me a minute?
S-Sure...
'Tis over... I shall bring it all to an end...
Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh-She made that up!
I see... So it was you?
N-No!
Death sentence! You deserve the death sentence!
Hey, can we vote already?
Yeah! That man hit Sakura Ohgami with a surprise blow, which led to her death!
"Refute" You're wrong!
"…a surprise blow, which led to her death!" "Kirigiri's Testimony after Investigating the Body"
If it was just one hit, things don't add up.
After all, Ohgami's head appeared to have been hit twice!
Huh? H-He's got a point!
N-No, I'm sure this man hit her twice .
N-No, I only hit her once!
So you're willing to admit that you hit her?
I-I... was sure that the ogre was gonna kill me and kinda panicked...
Fukawa!
Y-Yes?
After Hagakure left the game room, what did you do?
Tell us the truth!
I-I don't remember!
After Hagakure fled from the game room,
I climbed out of the locker.
The sight of all of that blood on Sakura Ohgami made me
pass out in front of the magazine rack.
S-So I don't know what happened next...
You'll have to ask her...
Here I am!
Only talk when we ask you a question.
Did you kill Sakura Ohgami?
Just throwin' this out there, but Miss Gloomy and I don't share our memories!
So I don't know the full story.
Here I am, sleepin' like a babe when someone suddenly shakes me awake!
"Huh? Is it my prince?" I thought, but when I opened my eyes...
I saw a splatter movie monster! I totally freaked out!
I attacked her with a bottle I found nearby!
I was just so scared!
Whac-An-Ogre!
Phew, what a load off! I'm not the one who killed the ogre.
--Hagakure, that was inappropriate! --Then that settles it!
Let's start voting already!
Huh?
C'mon, hurry! It's time to vote!
Asahina... This isn't like her at all.
Monokuma, we're gonna vote!
Wait!
Naegi?
Something about what she said bugs me.
Fukawa, where were you when you hit Ohgami?
The same place I was standin' when I woke up!
I killed her right in front of the magazine rack!
"Refute" You're wrong!
"I killed her right in front of the magazine rack!" "Condition of Ohgami’s Corpse"
Ohgami died while sitting on a chair.
If that blow in front of the magazine rack killed her,
it doesn't explain how she died sitting on that chair.
You're exactly right, Naegi.
Furthermore, there were bloodstains on the floor near the magazine rack.
In other words, there is no denying the fact
that Ohgami was indeed struck in front of the magazine rack.
But isn't Genocider Sho still the culprit?
No, retard! The place I whacked her and the place she died don't match up!
I see... In that case, who is the true culprit?
How did he kill Ohgami?
Allow me to explain.
"Chemistry Lab C-9"
What's that?
It's poison that I brought from the chemistry lab.
The chemical cabinets in the chemistry lab are divided into
nutritional supplements, reagents, and poisons.
And for some odd reason, this bottle of poison
was placed in the cabinet for nutritional supplements.
What could poison possibly be doing with the nutritional supplements?
T-Togami?!
Master Byakuya, what were you thinking?! Hurry and barf it up!
Barf on me!
--Shut up! --Hurry and drink some water!
--Togami. --Hurry and drink some water!
--Togami. --It'll kill your throat
--May I see that bottle? --if you swallow the powder by itself!
Sure. I don't mind.
This is protein.
Eh?!
Right. The contents of that bottle were not poison, but protein!
And wasn't there an empty protein cup on the floor in the game room?
What could these two facts imply?
It couldn't be!
Someone swapped the contents of a protein shaker cup and a bottle of poison?
And then he had Ohgami drink from the protein cup, which contained poison...!
Exactly. Seeing as that is the conclusion I have reached,
it could not possibly be wrong.
That's hunky dory and all,
but what'll you do if there was still some poison in that bottle?
I'll worry about it if I start to get sick.
Now, about those footprints in the chemistry lab.
I suspect that when the culprit was swapping the protein out with the poison,
he accidentally spilt some sort of powder.
The footprints most likely belong to someone wearing sneakers.
Let's head up to the chemistry lab right now.
If we compare our footprints to the ones there,
it will become clear who the culprit is.
It was me.
Those footprints... they're mine.
I... I'm the one who killed Sakura!
A-Asahinans... killed the ogre?!
N-No way...! Weren't the two of you best friends?
Best friends? She merely used that relationship to her advantage.
If the protein came from Asahina,
Ohgami would have consumed it without suspecting a thing.
You're totally... right.
In the game room, Sakura asked me to get her some.
She said that she wanted me to get her some protein.
That must be when you realized, "I can kill her now."
Then you switched the contents and gave Ohgami
--the protein shaker cup that was filled with poison. --Is this... what actually happened?
--And Sakura chugged that down in one big gulp.... --Really, didn't Ohgami mean the world to Asahina?
Unbelievable... Don't you know Sakura better than this?!
She... She was saying horrible things about my best friend!
After all of that, could she kill Ohgami?
And then... after Sakura drank the poison, I left the game room...
"Refute" That's not true!
"After Sakura drank the poison, I left the game room." "Game Room’s Door"
Asahina, your story doesn't explain the locked-room mystery.
"Locked-room mystery"...?
Before we found the body, the door had been locked shut!
Asahina, after you left the room, how did you lock the door from the inside?
If you can't explain that, then you aren't the culprit!
Well...
Impossible! As the person who swapped the contents,
Asahina is unmistakably the culprit!
In that case, allow me to present a new piece of evidence.
Togami, you were the one who provided this clue.
I did?
Wh-What is that a shard of?
Isn't that... a shard of glass from when I broke the door window?
Yes. A shard of glass from the game room
somehow got inside a poison bottle in the chemistry lab.
And there is one other peculiar tidbit regarding the broken glass.
In the game room, wasn't the broken glass
under the protein cup rather than above it?
What happened to the bottle of poison and the protein cup?
"Solved"
That's it! I've figured it out.
What?!
"Chemistry Lab C-"
The bottle of poison was in the game room to begin with!
Ohgami!
While our attention was focused on Ohgami,
a certain someone retrieved the bottle of poison...
When that individual returned to the game room with the others later,
he looked for a chance to drop the protein cup he had brought with him.
It was all done to camouflage Ohgami's death!
The yellow powder in the chemistry lab was the exact same
as the powder that was on Ohgami's feet.
In other words, she was present when the powder got spilt in the chemistry lab.
I bet she tried to get the poison from the cabinet,
but accidentally spilt that powder in the process.
Which would mean... Ohgami was the one who brought that poison.
In other words, she killed herself!
Looking at it that way, it resolves the locked-room mystery.
Ohgami turned the game room into an enclosed area...
...so no one would interfere with her attempt to commit suicide.
The affair began... when Ohgami asked Togami, Hagakure, and Fukawa
to come see her in the game room.
You're gonna talk to those three? You really shouldn't!
It's way too dangerous!
We are merely going to talk.
Asahina, they are not our enemies, but our friends.
But then Hagakure and Fukawa struck Ohgami...
Sakura?! We need to treat that right away!
Asahina? Sorry, but could you get some protein for me?
P-Protein? Why?
Please...
F-Fine! Sit tight! I'll be right back.
But when Asahina saw the powder scattered in front of the poison cabinet,
she realized that Ohgami had taken out some poison.
Sakura, open the door! Open up!
No! Why would you...? Why are you doing this?!
Why do you have to die, Sakura?
You're wrong! Wrong, wrong, wrong! I killed her!
I freaking killed her!
Asahina, that's enough.
It's... over now...
It's not over yet!
It is over! No, I need to bring it to an end.
This... is the truth?!
That's right. Didn't I warn you?
I said that if you took human emotions lightly,
eventually the rug would get pulled out from under you.
Humans aren't always calculating, with their actions governed by losses and gains.
You failed to comprehend that.
That is what made you fail to reach the truth.
This wasn't calculated and she had nothing to gain?
If that's the case, why would this woman hide the cause of Ohgami's death from us?
I'll tell you why!
What's that?
This is Sakura's... will!
"All of this hideous fighting has filled me with despair.
If all I have left is to wait for someone to take my life,
then I shall end it with my own hands..."
Sakura felt guilty over the whole mole thing.
So she was trying to do whatever it took to earn everyone's forgiveness, but...
You squashed those feelings!
You filled her with such despair that she committed suicide!
Sakura has a weak side, you know? She's just a normal girl.
It's no different than if we killed her ourselves!
None of us have any right to keep on living!
So... you were going to die and take us down with you?
Sorry to interrupt your little sob story,
but Ohgami's real will is right over here!
Oh, my!
Then what's this?
That? Just some chicken scratch I wrote.
Eh? Huh?
Well, I'm gonna read the real will with my greatly beloved, beautiful voice!
"To my dearest friend, Asahina,
I was forced to do the mastermind's bidding
after my family dojo was taken hostage.
And yet, I cannot bear to further betray my friends,
whom I have spent so much time with,
nor you, who has so kindly called me your best friend.
With my death, the root of your arguments shall vanish
and the murders will come to an end.
To see that happen, I am willing to surrender my life.
For you see, I consider all of you to be my precious friends.
Dear Asahina, I am truly sorry...
Live through this, together with our friends.
You must survive!"
That's all!
Sakura killed herself... to make everyone stop fighting? Oh, no...!
But thanks to you, everyone's eager to see more bloodshed!
Ohgami died in vain.
She didn't die in vain!
Huh?
Ohgami made us remember...
She reminded us that we're friends who are supposed to help each other!
Naegs is absolutely right!
What's this?
Monokuma, I've decided that I will be retiring from this game of yours.
What?
Now all that remains is to find the mastermind and give him a harsh "punishment."
That sounds far more entertaining.
Wh-What the heck?!
Same here! I'm with Master Byakuya!
Well?
Can you still say that Ohgami's death was in vain?
Hmph! Forget it!
I've still got my highly-anticipated Punishment Time!
This time we've got a special guest!
Alter Ego...
It was a real eyesore, y'know?
I take it you noticed what Alter Ego was up to?
I knew what you guys were doing clear from the get go!
Now then, how 'bout I read some more of Ohgami's letter?
"Lastly, the mastermind has altered our bodies to--"
Oops, I almost read a spoiler!
Huh?
"I will not go down quietly. I swear I shall strike back at the mastermind."
She'll strike back at me?
Meh, whatever.
I... tried to kill everyone. I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Asahina, you don't need to feel bad about that.
He's right!
B-But, I'm sorry.
Make that your final apology.
I have not fallen low enough to need your apologies.
O-Okay, you've got it.
That wasn't a romance flag just now, was it?
What? I'm not interested in this loser in glasses!
Wha--?! A "loser in glasses"?!
You called him a "loser in glasses"?!
--I can't help that he's a loser in glasses. --Thus the classroom trials came to an end...
--You two, quit saying that over and over again! --Thus the classroom trials came to an end...
--I can't take it! --Thus the classroom trials came to an end...
But our story isn't over yet.
--up. Wake up!
Kirigiri...?
I'll be waiting in the data processing room on the fourth floor.
Huh?
"Data Processing Room"
Here I am, but I don't see Kirigiri and the door's still locked.
Whadda we got here? What're you up to?
It's three in the morning! Go to bed!
What is all this fuss about?
Kirigiri!
You're here, too? Both of you, sleep!
Good idea. Naegi, let's head on back.
Huh? Umm, uh-huh...
Uh, Kirigiri...?
Mukuro Ikusaba...
That is the 16th high school student lurking somewhere on campus.
Beware of Super High School-Level Despair, Mukuro Ikusaba.
The 16th... high school student?
