Hi! I hope you're getting better, and doing better than you were a few months ago. I'm glad we're getting a new post, and I'm really excited! Though please, always remember: health over anybody.
If you look at the side, it says "These 7 are the only characters that will make an appearance" i assume those are the main characters for ch 2 and we will meet a new character that was at the very bottom
Hmm could it be..... David was originally was the Main Protagonist and Teruko was the Main Antagonist, David Support is Xander! And the one who also support David too is Arei, Hu and Mai! I think this killing game is repeat itself (Veronika have proof) Until David go crazy and want change it to broke the killing game system? I think? (Represent Time) (Eden stabbed Xander in his eyes) New: Teruko is the Protagonist, David is Antagonist Hu is now against on David. Arei is now dead.... Xander is now dead... ......David going to die on Chapter 3...? His dead body going to resemble that mannequin... Teruko is the real troublemaker. Her luck cause other in danger(?) Eden is her support. (Eden could be Mastermind?) Or is Veronika Mastermind? I hope we get to see Mai Akasaki!
4:21 the morse code is: “YOU STILL BELIEVED IN ME DESPITE EVERYTHING I'VE DONE. BUT THAT'S JUST FANTASY, ISN'T IT? I SIMPLY CHOSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DID. AFTER ALL, I'M INCAPABLE OF BEING SOMEONE WITHOUT YOU.”
i think it’s inspired by the original video 😭😭 in that same moment the original music video references “welcome to the bourbon house” which is the japanese version of a rickroll
oh gosh i think i discovered something really bad 😭😭😭 in episode one of the series you can see that somebody was attacked by a fork and says the person that attacked them was a she, if you look at 3:00 a clock has a fork stabbed into it. as we know eden is the ultimate clockmaker and also goes by she/her pronouns, the person stabbed by the fork (which im assuming is xander if you look at the pattern of the scratches on his eye) says "i made a massive mistake to trust them." and eden is probably the most "trustable" person in the cast. so i'm thinking eden was actually the one who attacked xanders eye, and maybe asked for him to kill teruko
The idea that David was the one to manipulated Xander to kill Teruko is looking more and more plausible considering we got a hair red lady present so David must have known her.
But why would David do that? He clearly cared about Xander. I mean, the video literally shows Xander during the "If something is important, then it will break and disappear". Xander was someone important to David
@@snakesareamazing+ his whole thing is manipulation tbh, i do think it's unlikely ( but not completely out of the question ) that David didn't hold any care for Xander. i think it's more of a 'sociopath cares for somebody else for the first time' kind of trope, or something similar to it
The issue with this is that in the prolouge first part, the first few seconds is showing a person with blood on papers talking about how he needed to end the killing game or kill teruko. Im assuming it to be Xander Cause of the amount of blood so I assume it's from his eye.
Exclude our protagonist-he is not “that person.” Why are they using a male pronoun to refer to the protagonist? I had this theory that Teruko was not the true protagonist, and it as David
Maybe also playing in the fact that Teruko is the protag but tends to act more like an antag. Maybe someone else was supposed to be in that place and her luck placed her in that position instead? I get what you mean with David but I also feel like it could have been Xander.
might be interesting to note that [11] mentions "Diana Chiem". Obviously this is David's sister, but who? How is she important? Is she a preexisting character?
@@ActualAlien_i mean we can’t confirm that for sure because there are some other names that it _could_ actually be, but it would be interesting if he decided to lie about having a sister (though i see no reason to) btw the thumbnail, if you look closely enough, has a megaphone (david’s assigned weapon) :) 90% chance this video’s about him
Not a theorist but tried organizing the footnotes + timestamps a little for any1 who needs it 1: 1:22 In this situation, it is better to use full names over nicknames. Exclude our protagonist-he is not “that person.” Crossword with each of the cast’s (excluding David) names in it. Roman numbers are scattered all across the video with the lyrics matching the character that is the roman number. (Sometimes the lyrics matched don’t really make sense with the character (for now)) I. Alexander 3:49 I have no idea if it counts but “(the world of abnormal sentiment dances)” II. Rose 1:34 ”Ego cogito ergo (turbatus) sum” Cogito ergo sum comes from latin and means I think, therefore I am. Ego cogito ergo (turbatus )sum can be translated to “I think, therefore I am (troubled)” III. Charles 1:37 “If you doubt, brittle things are broken” IV. Arei 1:39 “Right now, why do you cry?” V. Ace 1:41 “Right now, why do you go insane? VI. Arturo 2:41 “mind exercises 1 2 3 4” VII. Julia 2:10 ”Do it like that let’s live together!” VIII. Nico 2:43 “Even if you try to think, idk!!! (lmao)” IX. Levi 2:46 “look aside from that, give me the usual medicine” X. Min 2:01 "Who knows? But let's decide! Democratic-ly" XI. 1:48 Mai “God is dead” XII. Eden 2:27 “???: But you’re in my way, aren’t you?” XIII. Teruko 1:54 “To be or not to be?” XIV. Veronika 1:43 “Things like substance of the arts” XV. Whit 1:46 “Remaining ignorant, isn’t that ‘happiness?’” XVI. Hu 2:26 “???: Go and cry.” 2: 3:02 Other examples include Drosophila melanogaster and E. coli. The flowers are Arabidopsis. No idea of this one. Edit: What they have in common is fast reproductibility, so they're good for experimentation 3: 2:18 From Title 17 of the United States Code. "derivative work" 4: 1:46 The practice of avoiding the number four; it is most common in East Asia. This superstition arises from the fact that the number four can be read similar to the word “death” in multiple languages. I’m actually unsure if this is the right time stamp? If it is it may relate to Whit’s avoidance of his mother’s death. Edit: it is the right one but it's unrelated lol still funny coincidence Tetraphobia is the word for the definition on the footnote. 5: 3:11 As the translation has been intentionally botched in many parts, it should not be considered accurate. . The vocaloid wiki lyrics goes “The idiots fancying themselves as revolutionaries, Let's give them tickets with lead and make them write with blood” but I have no idea how accurate of a translation it is, and it is unessential anyway but just wanted to put it out there. 6: 2:02 (Prayer) 7: 2:43 Seven is considered an auspicious number in many Western cultures. Let's just skip it. 8. ‘Tut, tut, child!’ said the Duchess. ‘Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.’ (Not found) 9: 2:08 no respect for the classics smh degraded copy lol 10: 2:01 The Roman numeral for 10 is X. 11: 1:33 I admit to lying. There is no one named 〇〇〇〇〇 〇〇〇〇〇. I am, and always have been, an only child. Suspicious gaps. Almost everyone theorises the gaps say Diana Chiem. 12: 2:02 “Majority rule” is known to be the fairest method of making decisions for a group. That's why murderers never complained when we voted for them to die. 13: 2:39 正 正 meaning correct. Also I copied all the text and can’t figure out what it is so if anyone can pls help here: 3aqxw97pktc8uki458fbdpfoacllex2f07bf8mg24b4mpfx2adc6v3f5yhxjd8i7sf11312zaj5lazet47jod5jczec5mvb6bz2o59r143sf2pe916sczcn7emvbl55ehe9iqb2708tt83482c8tw3c77gn47ojca634gbcfz0016s647wwlakcn46brele0cam9 Edit: I figured out it has to do with the password to the QR code since the question/hint is "was I correct" 14: 3:52 Hint: word length of 256 15: 1:47 “Ignorance is bliss” is an idiom used to say that it is better to remain ignorant about certain harsh truths, in order to avoid causing oneself stress. The expression comes from a 1742 Thomas Gray poem (“Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College"): “Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise.” 16: 2:50 While it was originally intended to serve as a military march, today it is most commonly recognized for its association with circuses and tomfoolery. The partiture. Probably referencing a song I don’t know. (Edit: it is 'Entry of Gladiators') 17: 2:00 Not a real word. Can't be found in any dictionary. Democratic-ly 18: 3:04 A/N: soz not very good at drawing flowers lol!!! (The dandelions) 19: 3:42 A dialogue between two individuals that serves as a discussion of moral and philosophical issues. 20: 1:53 It is considered by many to be outdated, providing little-to-no insight on human nature Refering to the 5 stages of grief. 21: 3:49 Deriving from the Latin phrase “Et cetera” : meaning “and other (similar) things”, “and so forth”, or “and the rest (of such things)” : abbreviated to etc., etc, et cet., &c. or &c Literally it. 22: 4:21 The rest is silence. At the end. Might refer to the song itself or the dialogue in morse code right before the footnote? May update some stuff but that’s what I’ve got for noww + thx to the replies that have added some of what I missed!!
3 is at 2:18 on the right where it reads "derivative work" You have the right timestamp for 4, but its also on the right where it reads "tetraphobia" 6 is on the bottom right of the hands in prayer at 2:02 14 is on the = thing in the background at 3:52 ill edit my reply if i find 8
Im editing a comment with things I notice and I pointed out there that the crossword solution is missing David’s name and implicating we should use Mai’s name instead. This video is crazy 💀
Originally, this was supposed to include images so this comment may not make sense. I just copy and pasted this from my notes. I will release a google doc maybe tho I am going to share some theories. Something that has always caught my eye is how danganronpa despair time has a unique spin on the protagonist and antagonist roles. Ever since i heard the interpretations that Teruko is the antagonist but we are in her point of view, making her the protagonist of drdt, makes me interested already. However, after watching, I have noticed something about our fan favourite antagonist David. What if David Chiem was supposed to be the protagonist to the game’s system? The thought of this came to my mind when I noticed David Chiem’s ahoge. It is silly but he has the protagonist ahoge. I think the only character (besides Teruko) who has it. I’ve thought deeper into his role of the antagonist in Teruko’s eyes: what if he IS the protagonist to the game’s system, however turned to be the real antagonist all along. More points to support this, (credits to finally_in_reverse in the yt comments) in Literature Girl Insane fan-mv where David Chiem stars in, the description mentions this certain line: “In this situation, it is better to use full names over nicknames. Exclude our protagonist-he is not “that person.”” The protagonist is referred with he/him pronouns, so it can’t be Teruko since in canon, yknow. You know who else is referred in he/him pronouns? David Chiem. I do not know what the line means though, but I know David is very suspicious. It is obvious that Teruko has an antagonistic personality: pessimism and blunt. On the other hand, David’s personality at first was like a protagonist: hopeful, optimistic and awkward. (I cannot find keywords to describe personalities better, pls let me know if i seemed to mischaracterise them) However, he later descends to madness in chapter 2’s trial and reveals his true antagonistic personality. David was actually manipulative and selfish. I had this small thought: “was there/will there be a phase where Teruko acts like an actual protagonist?” But that is not important. I think there is a reason why he acts like a bitch though… let’s look at the lore I had a theory, the game is stuck in a time loop and David is trying to stop it. Veronika foreshadows this by telling us a story about “a boy stuck in a time loop and forced to watch his friends die for eternity” and so on. Some of the descriptions matches David, don’t you think? “While he is horrified at first” it could be David’s starry-eyed persona being genuine in the earlier time loops. “Becomes more concerned over his growing boredom” “starts to fall into a more sinister tone” David is foul-mouthed. Since the story Veronika talks about might be in the boy’s perspective… “protagonist descends into insanity over time” David is an insane person. manipulated people. It maybe not be accurate, but what Veronika said is definitely foreshadow. this reminded me of another part in Drdt, especially the way beginning of this serious, I had a thought: you know the mysterious, unnamed person in the prologue? What if the person in the beginning of the prologue, episode 1, is the boy stuck in the time loop The boy wants to end the killing game as he is sick of seeing his friends die. Using his memory of the previous loops, he tries to fix mistakes and even end up tricking the game system by switching David and Teruko’s roles in the game. Let’s go back to the literary girl nonsense mv. A screen cap shows a cast list. The main roles are listed: David Chiem and Xander Matthews. Which is unusual, Teruko is supposed to be the main cast right? Instead, she is listed under “supporting cast”. There was also a name: Mai Akasaki crossed out. If you don’t know Mai, she is the red hair girl that appeared in Teruko’s flashback. This proved my point further that David was the protagonist. Teruko was the antagonist. Xander could be the secondary protagonist that was supposed to live until the end of game then. Remember in chapter 1, there was a note saying “kill Teruko” that was sent to Xander? It was never confirmed who sent the note. But I do have an idea that David was the one that sent the note. Xander is a big fan of David, so David uses that as an advantage to control him to attempt to kill Teruko. But why would he do that? The answer is, so he messes up the Danganronpa’s system so the protagonist and antagonist roles switch, to stop the time loop I guess as he doesn’t want to watch his friends die all over again. And he has also been lead to insanity. David is not the only one I am suspicious about though… Veronika is suspicious. If the foreshadowing is true, how does she know all this? Could she be the mastermind? Maybe the game’s system got messed up so she broke in? Could she be involved with the mastermind, perhaps the traitor? David and Veronika definitely have memories about the past time loops then… Tdlr: David was the protagonist stuck in the time loop of the killing game. He was horrified at his friends dying so in the next loops, he tries to end the game, only resulting his friends die all over again and again. This time, he sends a note to his friend that stayed by him the last loops, Xander. This makes things different by switching his and Teruko’s roles of the “protagonist”, tricking the system. This is so he hopes things will turn out different and the game ends.
I feel like afew more people know they're in a loop and my main suspect is J : because when nico said that they did try to kill ace J was angry and talked about murder like she expirinced it alot before since she comes from a rich and famous family if one of her family members got murdered it will be in the news and people will talk about it since she and arturo who is a big fan of her family never bring it up its a sign that murder didn't come from her family her hatred for her family could be a sign she didn't have friends and that's because of her mother so murder had to come from somewhere else pheraps a killing game? Maybe I'm looking into it too far but that's my theory
@@beatrootsheep3746 so, a few people have considered Eden's personality to be very suspicious, as she is a very optimistic person in the middle of a killing game (she's also one of the people who didn't have breakdowns yet). By the way, she's trying really hard to befriend Teruko which is kind of weird. And they have also noted that Eden's talent is "Ultimate Clockmaker", which looks very suspicious due to the title. And I think Eden being the mastermind could correlate to the theory of a time loop since of the previous points.
If you guys wanna know the symbol cipher, it says: We're no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment's what I'm thinking of You wouldn't get this from any other guy I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling Gotta make you understand Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you And it goes on-
"YOU STILL BELIEVED IN ME DESPITE EVERYTHING I'VE DONE." "BUT THAT'S JUST FANTASY, ISN'T IT?" "IS IT PLYCHOSE (?) TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DID." "AFTER ALL,I'M INCAPABLE OF BEING SOMEONE WITHOUT YOU.''
Idk what tf happened but one thing I got from this XANDER WAS IMPORTANT TO DAVID! 👏🏼 Edit: Apparently the hidden image when you scan the barcode is a giant W for Xanvid shippers
The solutions to the crossword at 1:22 are the characters in DRDT minus David and including Mai. I think every line with a Roman numeral in the song is a reference to the character on the crossword. The solutions are: I. Alexander II. Rose III. Charles IV. Arei V. Ace VI. Arturo VII. Julia VIII. Nico IX. Levi X. Min XI. Mai XII. Eden XIII. Teruko XIV. Veronika XV. Whit XVI. Hu
At 3:44 David disappears leaving behind a splash of red blood before the text "chapter 3" appears at the bottom... ISTG IF THIS IS FORESHADOWING HIM DYING NEXT CHAPTER-
[11] is I admit to lying. There is no one named Diana Chiem. I am, and always have been, an only child. [13] 正 means Correct/Positive [16] is Julius Fucik - Entry of the Gladiators [19] is Socratic dialogue/Socratic method
[ 3:00 ] **Mai Akasaki** - "**Portrait of someone dearly loved**" **Teruko Tawaki** - "**Portrait of someone dearly unloved**" Theory: David may have manipulated Xander into killing Teruko, to avenge Mai in some sort of way. This would explain why Xander listened to the note rather than flatly refused, because he looked up to David and had a celebrity crush (sort of) on him, meaning he would be more likely to follow orders if he knew it was from David. I presume that both David and Teruko knew Mai, but Mai suffered the consequences of Teruko’s bad luck and either died or wound up severely injured (most likely dead). This could have lead David to grow hateful towards Teruko and believing it was her fault, which isn’t much of a stretch considering the few memories that remain intact prior to the Killing Game are ones that the Headmaster believes would be more likely to drive you to kill. This isn’t to say David didn’t love/care for Xander, he very clearly did, this is just some food for thought.
i havent seen anyone talk about 3:00 when a portrait of Teruko says "portrait of someone dearly unloved" and the red haired girl who is "portrait of someone dearly loved" i wonder if David knows who she is.
I think 11 might be referring to David’s mentioned sister (episode 10 chapter 2), Diana. the spaces check out with the amount of letters in her first and last name
Why would he lie about having a sister and even give her a name? He only brought that up cause the cast was discussing Arturo's secret having a younger sister. He could just say he was always an only child and it would've had the same effect of not drawing suspicion onto him
@@4FTER_GL0Wwhich means he’s hiding the truth by disguising it as a lie. wonder why he’s hiding the fact that diana is real.. besides, they wouldn’t just give us the name of his sister for no reason. they didn’t give the name for both arei’s sisters and arturo’s sister. which means she’s definitely going important in the future
WHAT I'VE GATHERED [ i'll be updating this frequently... ] > the wingdings are rick rolls..... > i’m guessing people ARE correct about david being the real main character, as such stated at like 3:07 when it says ‘main characters’ and it shows david chiem and xander matthews, in supporting cast it has five names, teruko, hu, and arei, with the other one being cut off and the another one being crossed out (but we can tell that name is mai). i don’t know what the name that’s cut off means, but i’m pretty sure the initials are M.N.? > i suspect hu will play a much bigger role in the oncoming chapters, especially since her name was mentioned in the list of 'supporting characters' > on the side if you tilt your head you can barely see the words 'i.e. these are the only characters who make an appearance', i can't tell if this is for the MV or something else entirely. > i'm pretty sure at (3:12) xander is holding the gun, since he did get one for his special weapon + the gloves match up. i don't know who could be holding the letter though, the only person who has a ring on their right thumb it whit, but his sleeves are too short, i was considering it to be mai, but she wears gloves, so we won't know for now > at 3:43, it states 'i was satisfied, so i'll disappear', and then at 3:45 it flashes 'Chapter 3' for a split moment + it was cut off, this most likely implies something about david disappearing, either it be physically or emotionally/mentally in the next chapter... we ain't even past the trial yet SLOW DOWN DAVID > im pretty sure theres morse code literlaly ALLLL THE WAY AT THE END of the video, im talking 4:20-4:22, i cant tell since its kind of blurry > one of the strips of morse code translates into "BUT THAT'S JUST FANTASY, ISN'T IT ?" > the other strip of code translates to "YOU STILL BELIEVED IN ME DESPITE EVERYTHING I'VE DONE." > another strip of morse code translates to "I SIMPLY CHOSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DID." > also the crossword puzzle!! i don’t know if it links to everything that’s in the description, perchance…. i’ll reread through it and see if it fits in a bit > edit: they differentiate roman numerals (which is used in the crossword puzzle) and actual numbers (which is used in the description), so i don’t think they’re related? correct me if i’m wrong, i’m still trying to figure this out ^_^ > here's a list of the roman numerals that fit with the crossword puzzle > note: i have completed the crossword puzzle, all character’s names are on there (including mai) except for david wowow > [I] at (3:49) is with a string of numbers, no clue what they mean > [II] is found with the lyrics 'Ego cogito ergo sum 'TURBATUS') (which means "I think therefore I am "UPSET") > [III] -> DOUBT -> CHARLES > [IV] -> CRY -> AREI > [V] -> GO INSANE -> ACE > both [7] and [VI.] are found on the same panel with the word 'MIND' -> ARTURO > [VII.] -> do it 'LIKE THAT', let's 'LIVE' together -> JULIA / J > [VIII.] is right next to 'even if i try to think’ -> NICO > [IX.] -> MEDICINE -> LEVI > [XIV.] -> SUBSTANCE OF THE ARTS -> VERONIKA > [XV.] -> IGNORANT -> WHIT > [XVI] -> GO AND CRY -> HU > [XI.] -> GOD -> MAI > [XII.] -> BUT YOU'RE IN MY WAY, AREN'T YOU? -> EDEN > [XIII.] -> to be or not to be(?) -> TERUKO > here are the citations with the description > [1] is found next to 'NOW' which is also next to the crossword puzzle > [5] translation for the lyrics is needed, but in the description the citation states that it's intentionally incorrect (3:10) > [9] is near 'degraded copy' at 2:08 > [10] can be barely seen with the blood splatter at 2:01, cause it's a giant X as stated by the citation > [12] just shows the class trial voting and it being a majority vote at 2:02 > [13] is found next to 'CORRECT' because it does translate to correct (2:39) > [14] is at (3:52), and you can barely see it, it's next to the =. i don't know what the hint is supposed mean, i guess all of the numbers beforehand equal to something? > [15] is at 1:48 on the word 'happiness', which ties into the ignorance is bliss citation > [17] with the word 'democratic-ly', which is not a real word as said by the citation > [18] those flowers arent half bad (3:04) > [19] 'will you forget what you've done, i wonder?'

Small detail, but I think that mysterious M.N name ends with an "i". You can see the dot. Not particularly helpful, but worth noting. I can't think of anyone with a last name starting with N and ending with i.
at 3:07 it says main roles: David Chiem Xander Matthews Supporting Cast: Teruko Tawaki Arei Nageishi Hu Jing Mai Akasaki (thata skribbled out tho) it leaves me with so many questions like -maybe Xanders not actually dead?? i feel like story wise if any of the characters were to actually be alive, it woukd be Xander -Is David the real protag? I always kind of fwlt like maybe Teruko wasnt the actualy protag but idk. I just feel like something gonna happen to her or smthing just gonna happen in general -Whats Hu Jing doing there, like why is she there??? -I also think that Areis death is going to play a big part in the whole killing game based on the fact that her name was on that list. idk tho, tell me if you have any ideas going along with this
Tbh... I think Hu is gonna end up being a culprit, because her hidden quote is 'I want to pay for what I've done. Even then, I want to live.' And sadly I think Hu is gonna kill David, hence the blood splatter on him with the words 'chapter 3' and 'I'll leave' shown at the end of this MV. Unless there's about to be some major plot twist in the Chapter 2 Trial involving Hu, such as her being Arei's killer, I don't see why else she'd be listed there. Hu is already very close to David, too- she said David knew how she felt, so like, it's implied she confided in him about her secret (speculated to be the suicide one) and there's definitely more to their relationship then we're seeing currently. I also have a theory based on Arturo's hidden quote 'You "hated them", but even that doesn't justify what you did' that Arturo is going to direct this quote at one of the killers in the trial, possibly one who did a double-kill judging by the word 'them' in the quote. If that's the case, Hu will probably kill David, and one other person. Ace, maybe, idk. In chapter 3: Because that's when the double-kills in Danganronpa always happen. And Hu has reason to "hate" David now, and she already hates Ace. thank you for coming to my ted talk lol
@tinaangelica2760 WAIT YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING ACTUALLY!!! David said his secret was about having a family history of depression initially, so it makes sense that even if they weren't the closest (if they were close before the secrets were given out, people wouldn't have been so shocked about Hu saying she was 'betrayed' or whatever she said i cant remember tbh) of all people, she might turn to him, especially if her secret was about suicide.
Everytime I come back to this video I cry because David’s whole character is actually so interesting but super sad. After decoding the messages, it gets even more tragic
No idea of what the description means, but it's probably a phrase so my theory for the fourth one: In japanese, the number four can be read as "shi", just like death 四 → kanji for four, pronunciation being "shi" 死 → kanji for death, pronunciation also being "shi" "Shi" has the same pronunciation as "she", which leads to the word being "she" JUST A THEORY BTW
'[4] The practice of avoiding the number four; it is most common in East Asia. This superstition arises from the fact that the number four can be read similar to the word “death” in multiple languages.' If we look at our character list: David *Chiem* Hu *Jing* Min *Jeung* They all have last names with a Chinese and/or Cantonese background. Teruko *Tawaki* Arei *Nageishi* They all have last names with a Japanese background. However, Arei's last name is massively found in Brazil aswell. The rest of the cast have a last name with usually English roots aside from Nico who has a Armenian last name (West Asia). Looking from this, it shows that quite a bit of the cast have a hinted Eastern Asian background. I think it's also confirmed that Whit has an Asian parent but I can't confirm nor deny this. If we go back to the footnote, we can see it talks about a superstition found mainly in Eastern Asia and families that come from that area. This may lead us to believe that this specific note is on about the listed characters. ' [1] In this situation, it is better to use full names over nicknames. Exclude our protagonist-he is not “that person.” ' may imply that if my investigation is correct, it might be on about David Chiem or Teruko Tawaki. It could be on about David due to the use of 'he' and since he is the only male character with a confirmed east asian background to my knowledge that leaves him to be what it is on about. Aswell as the use of the phrase 'He is not "that person" ' . It could be on about how he acted in the last few episodes and he is also where usual protagonists go in danganronpa games. It could be on about Teruko instead because it mentions about 'our protagonist' which as we know that Teruko as of now is our protagonist I'm ranting on and on about something that probably isn't true lol edit: guys pls don't read this i was on a massive amount of weed when writing this edit 2: Whit is confirmed to have a Chinese dad ty revriee
[2] Drosophilia melanogaster is the scientific name for the common fruit fly, which Min explains in her voice trailer. That feels like a bit too specific of a coincidence to not have some connection to her.
Guesses for a couple of things in the description: (Edit - One of these is kinda spoiler-y for Ch. 2 Ep. 10 so read this at your own risk) [11] - Could mean that David was lying about having a sister named Diana (the number of blanks is the same as the number of letters in "Diana Chiem") [12] - Possibly a reference to YTTD although the part about murderers doesn't make as much sense there [18] - Maybe this is a reference to My Immortal? It's the first thing that comes to mind here
[2] referring to min. the first species mentioned is the same one she mentions in the VA trailer [3] where u.s. copyright law is contained. most likely referring to rose [11] the dots have the same number of characters that *diana chiem* does [13] means “yes/correct/just” [14] four/five words (two hundered fifty six/two hundered and fifty six) [15] possibly referring to charles?? maybe he decided that he didn’t want to know what happened in his past. also kinda goes with his hidden quote. [18] might refer to mai, she has a floral tattoo [19] socratic dialogue thats all i have for now. hope the dev is feeling better!
EDIT: tried to correlate the roman numerals through the song to the characters, idk if they make much sense So i tried to do the crossword at 1:22 and this is what I got, david isnt present since he isnt "that person": ACROSS I. Alexander (Xander's full name) IV. Arei- Right now, why do you cry? VI. Arturo- Mind exercises, 1234 VIII. Nico- even if i try to think- idk! (lmao) IX. Levi- look aside from that usual medicine give me XII. Eden- But you're in my way aren't you? XIII. Teruko- "or" (It might be the whole thing of "To be or not to be: XV. Whit- Remaining Ignorant isn't that "happiness"? XVI. Hu- Go and cry. DOWN II. Rose- Ego cogito ergo (turbatus) sum- I think therefore i am or when including turbatus I think therefore i have been disturbed. III. Charles- If you doubt brittle things are broken V. Ace- Right now, why do you go insane? VII. Julia- Do it like that let's live together! X. Min XI. Mai - God is Dead XIV. Veronika - Substance of the Arts
Min's is actually really subtle but she does have one! It's footnote [10], at 2:00. So it's "Democratic-ly" (but it might also connect to the text in the background which is an explanation of the class trial)
Though it's interesting. We see David doesn't like Teruko but if we believe that the secret he got about someone being responsible for the killing game belonging to Teruko - why he lied and told everyone it's xander secret?
I’m gonna cry 😭 when I tried to translate the wingdings from 0:35, i found out that it was a literal rickroll… how could you do this to me DRDT?!?! haishdaujsks
It would seem as though the hiatus is over, and hopefully, all is well for them, and soon, we'll be able to enjoy yet another episode of This amazing show
For code in video: The first line of code that shows up is the exact same to entry seventeen in undertale. So by using that I could decode them. It’s a rickroll
Guys the last name on the supporting cast list at 3:06 says: "M[] Naegi" if you compare the three middle letters of the surname (if you can't see them zoom on the image they're barely visible) with the a, g, and e in Nageishi you'll see that; the first and second letters have a single pixel from the background in the middle and on the left side respectively, just like how the highest point of the parabola in the letter a is in the middle and, in the e it's more on the left side since the right side of thw letter is fat, the third one is definitely a g as you can see by the barely visible line at the right side of the round part, and from that the other two make much more sense.
(ill add more later) the text (sources) i can find: 0:30 - "i can't even guess myself.." - Osmau Dazai/No longer human "i did love you once you should not have believed me" - modernized shakespeare, act 3 scene 1 hamlet "thought: peaceful sound. peaceful place..." - agatha christie/then there were none "if you're hythlodaeus.." not sure about morus but hythlodaeus is from final fantasy XIV i think the girl after is his sister? they have similar golden eyes now for the comments that come up (amount of dashes = amount of circles "lets play spot the komeada" - so difficult - david "----- is like the byakuya/nagito/kokichi of the cast" - most likely david "I like that ------ is the protag who also plays the antag" - probably teruko "mm ---- anyone?" - mastermind eden, rose, nico, levi (most likely eden) "- and ---- totally swapped places" - the j and arei swap theory "----- will obviously die in ch5" - david? "I just hope that ------ doesn't go crazy and kill in chapter 3. That would be way to predictable" - arturo or teruko fit "everyone in the comment section is a f/cking idiot" - polite much ok every other comment was "posted" 8 years ago, 4 years ago. but the last one was "posted" a second ago, could it be david telling us we're all wrong in these theories? or is he lying about that to? back to text sources "was absolutely taken with..." kyoto journal/lemon The word cross, the helping hints are just "that person". I think characters from the cast corelate to the sentences in the description? doesnt fit for 11 but i feel it could be important? 1;26 - HSEWatch/4 types of electric injuries - Lewis Caroll/Alice in wonderland - Antoine de saint/Exúpery
me who instantly wants to decode the wingdings code that the dev put in: "okay, cool! we're no." "wait, this kinda fits a rick roll. surely it isnt." *finishes the first line* "yeah. it's a rick roll" DRDT DEV.... UR SO SICK FOR THIS /LH /J
Spoilers for MV . . . . . . . . . Xander THIS Xander THAT….WHAT ABOUT MAI!! “PORTRAIT OF SOMEONE DEARLY BELOVED” AND SCRIBBLED OUT OF THE SUPPORTING CAST???
3:13 translation incase nobody has it yet. i dont have the time to read through them all. “The idiots fancying themselves as revolutionaries,” “Let’s give them tickets with lead and make them write with blood” “A document of self-denying confessions” “Let’s do that!” if any mistakes, please lmk.
YOOOOOOOOO NEW MV LETS GO!! I’m gonna assume that this is probably about David (judging by the megaphone) but it could be Xander, Mai, Teruko, or Arei as well. I have no idea what the song might be, so I’ll take a shot in the dark and say KING by Kanaria. I hope everything has been going well for you DRDT Dev!! Take as much time as you need to get better!! And I hope that the rest of the team is doing good too!!
Open the floodgates these theories are flooding in fast! Everyone's anticipation and curiosity has definitely piqued, the collective excitement doesn't come unwarranted though, (with the possibility of more content about our dear oatmeal man). Yum.
The books that are shown at 2:31 are No longer human Hamlet Lemon Murder on the orient express The little prince Shoemaker by levy(?) Alice in wonderland there is another one but I cant find the source of it
In regards to the description: I’m guessing that during this music video, there’s going to be references to literature through flashes of text on screen. The description is just writing them out more uniformly. Please don’t start over-theorising just yet. Edit: HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING! (Also I saw Wingdings and fast text at the end, and I’m really tempted to not take my own advice and IMMEDIATELY start over-theorising.)
for anyone wondering, the morse at the end says: YOU STILL BELIEVED IN ME DESPITE EVERYTHING I'VE DONE. BUT THAT'S JUST FANTASY, ISN'T IT? I SIMPLY CHOSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DID. EDIT I missed a part at the end which says: AFTER ALL, I'M INCAPABLE OF BEING SOMEONE WITHOUT YOU (pointed out by @gamergworl5650)
taking a shot in the dark here and saying the song is bungaku shōjo insane (literature girl insane) because the thumbnail looks quite similar style and composition wise (and footnotes are found in literature!)
For anybody wondering what the wingdings in the beginning say here it is (this is not a joke this is literally what it translates too 💀): 1. We’re no strangers to love You know the rules and so do I A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of You wouldn’t get this from any other guy 2. I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling Gotta make you understand 3. Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down Never gonna run around and desert you Never gonna make you cry Never gonna say goodbye Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
I CAN'T WAIT!!! EDIT: Omg this is amazingly well put together for David's character! ☆Seeing Literature Girl Insane is bringing back such nostalgia that I could cry!
The song is 文学少女インセイン カラスヤサボウfeat.鏡音リン or Translated; Literature Girl Insane [Karasuyasabou feat. Kagamine Rin]. Feel free to google it and dissect the lyrics and song itself while yall wait! It's what I'm doing right now!
Easter eggs that I’ll edit as I discover them: 0:35 Flashes of Wingdings text are just a rickroll 😭 0:37 text refers to the book “I am a cat” written in Japanese “Wagahai wa Neko de Aru” which revived the rare pronoun “Wagahai” due to its use only in contexts of nobility. Clear reference to MonoTV 1:22 Crossword Solution: Across: I. Alexander IV. Arei VI. Arturo VIII. Nico IX. Levi XII. Eden XIII. Teruko XV. Whit XVI. Hu Down: II. Rose III. Charles V. Ace VII. Julia X. Min XI. _ai (Mai?) XIV. Veronika For XI down, it is logically impossible with the main 16 cast as options to use David’s name, instead implicating Mai goes in that spot. Why? Next, for the one footnote about Roman numeral X, this crossword suggests Min has something to do with it. Lastly, there is a giant “Now” with a 1 next to it. I think it refers to footnotes because even though it’s not necessary to know to solve the crossword, it is a hint to use full names like “Alexander” and “Julia” 1:33 Suspicious gaps has a number 11? That’s the footnote about lying about having a sister people theorize is about David. Idk what it means but one of the gaps has two dots of blood that make it kind of look like a face :D 1:34 Brief flash of text about a secret being spilled for one of the males. Arturo or Charles are my guesses for who this refers to 1:36 Latin for “I think therefore I am (disturbed)” (thanks google translate) does the II refer back to the crossword? This would implicate Rose for… something? 1:39 Same as before there’s a Roman numeral III now, referring to Charles? There is text about doubt and also upside down text talking about a simple secret invisible to the eye like his forgotten older brother 1:41 IV refers to Arei? Once again, crossword, and she was crying a lot in chapter 2 1:43 At this point if I say a Roman numeral refer back to the crossword theory. V. Ace he was going insane in chapter 2. Also text about cats having 9 *additional* lives, so 10 in total? 1:48 XIV. Veronika arguably appreciates the substance of art more than rose because rose is in debt and has little interest in her creations. XV. Whit always jokes around. These two things can be considered happiness, I suppose. 1:50 XI. Presumed to be Mai and the text suggests her importance and potential death? I didn’t time it but a second after it says “become: brainwashed.” So maybe that’s what happened to Mai. 1:53 Refers to footnote 20. I’m unsure why it’s important to consider the 5 stages of grief and their irrelevance to human behavior. Alright guys I’ve been watching this at 0.25 speed for a couple hours now, so I’m gonna take a break at this last time stamp. ✌🏻 (I know I haven't finished the previous segments, but I don't have paper atm) 4:21 Morse code says (reformatted for easy reading) "You still believed in me despite everything I've done. But that's just fantasy, isn't it? I simply chose to believe that you did. After all, I'm incapable of being someone without you."
the morse thing at the final says: "YOU STILL BELIEVED IN ME DESPITE EVERYTHING I'VE DONE. BUT THAT'S JUST FANTASY WASN'T? I SIMPLY CHOSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DID. AFTERALL, I'M CAPABLE OF BEING SO MEANE WITHOUT YOU (???)" idk, just correct me if i'm wrong edit: the wingdings thing its just a rickroll, dont try it mhm, in the crucigram i got this: I. Alexander II. Rose III. Charles IV. Arei V. Ace VI. Arturo VII. Julia VIII. Nico IX. Levi X. Min XI. Mai XII. Eden XIII. Teruko XIV. Veronika XV. Whit XVI. Hu some of these come out with a phrase, i found these: II (rose) = ego cogito III (charles) = if you doubt brittle things are broken IV (arei) = right now, why do you cry? V (ace) = right now, why do you go insane? it jumps to XIV (veronika) = thins like substance of the arts XV (whit) = remaining ignorants / (i suppose it is related to the 15 of the description//) XI (Mai) = god is dead / (interesting... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔) XIII (teruko) = or not to be? VII (julia / j) = do it like that let's live togheter! XVI (hu) = ???: Go and cry. XII (eden???) = ???: but you're in my way, aren't you? move aside, move aside juts like that and disappear! VI (arturo) = exercises, 1 2 3 4 VIII (nico) = even if i try to think, idk (lmao!!!) IX (levi) = look aside the unusual from that medicine?? / (i didnt understand nothing of this) I've been watching the mv for 3 hours in a loop and this was all I found, there are more things, but it will take me too long to write them 👍👍
AAA I CANNOR WAIT EEEEE hope ur doing better drdtdev doing force urself into working for our entertaining!! Yourself always comes first so hope ur gonna feel better !!:33
Well, the footnotes are just sort of there. if someone can find them all that would be cool, but here's what I found 21: 3:49, literally just about etc. 22: Literally the ending, flashes on the screen for just a short moment 7: Hard to Catch 2:43, maybe the "Let's just skip it." means, "Let's do mental gymnastics and ignore it." 2: Hard to Catch 3:02, shows arabidopsis, but then provides other examples that might be on it, like a fly or e coli. 8: Hard to Catch: 3:03, shows dandelions (weed), quote comes from Alice in the Wonderland. Dandelions might stand for innocence? and there is a flower scene in the book, but idk. 5: 3:11, translation was botched, so they didn't translate it. 1: Hard to Catch 1:22, a cross word puzzle. idk what that means, but it shows up. 15: 1:48, mentions "ignorance is bliss" is part of the puzzle. 20: Hard to Catch 1:53, talks about the five stages of grief and how outdated it is. 17: 2:00, democratic-ly is not a real word. 12: Hard to Catch 2:02, Talks about a majority votes, where one person has all 16 votes. Voting Results: Everyone will be executed, There is no such thing as "victory" in a killing game. 9: 2:08, degraded copy means no respect for the classics. and apparently the less serious one :_: 16: 2:51, the music sheet comes from "Entry of the Gladiator - Julius Fucik" which was meant to be a military song, but now is a circus song. Well, that's all
post vid edit: why'd he scream for so long 😭 ignoring that this was an AMAZING fan MV and i can't wait to do a crossiwrd puzzle now >:3 edit: 5 MINUTES LEFT RAHHHHH also i just listened to literature girl insane and i 100% confirm thats the song lol (NEW KNOWLEDGE????? /s /lh) WHEN I SAW THIS MY HEART ACTUALLY SKIPPED A BEAT????? OH MYY GODDDDDDDDDDD getting to the important part, i'm glad that the team is in good health! make sure to prioritize your physical and mental health over the demands of your fanbase!! :D
thing discovered main character: david chiem Xander mathews support chast: Teruko Tawaki Arein nageishi Hu jing and the scrembled one is Mai Akusaki,in my theory they were the red haired girl maybe? and then the potrait it was the red haired girl potrait with the text "Potrait of the loved" And the another one was Teruko is potrait with the text "potrait of the unloved" YO is that mean David is really the protagonist all along??
When you didnt understand the video: When you rewatched the video with the footnotes but you stil dont understand it well but you atleast go theories: cool
I just realized what you meant..I thought you said bsd was in the video and freaked out I DIDNT READ THE UNDER THE VISDEO THING IM SO STUPID OMG PLEASE FORGET MY LIFE..but me all 3 :D
Okay. WOOOOOOOOOOOO here we go. Solving all of them as best as I can in the morning. [1] A person named @Finally_in_reverse actually brought up a great idea. They said that David Chiem is the true protagonist, sitting across the mascot (stereotypical DR Protag position) and that "that person" is perhaps referring to him lying about being a shitty person. [2] I don't know what this could exactly be referring to, if anything, but that's the scientific name of the common fruit fly. Min has said this before, do you remember? E. Coli is a bacteria--perhaps this is referring to how something, or someone has been acting like a "pest" towards the cast or other people. It could also refer to someone who is "sick", in the cast. This could be sick physically, or sick in the head--mentally. Who knows? [3] Copyright law, as defined in Title 17 of the United States Code, protects "original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression" for a limited period. So this has something to do with copyright, no matter the exact details. I'm going to let you guys theorize on that, because I currently have absolutely no idea, besides it having to do with the TV show. [4] Another person named @Youwillfindmeeverywhere theorized this has something to do with East Asian background, which is derived from their names. They believe the people this is referring to are: David Chiem Hu Jing Min Jeung Teruko Tawaki Arei Nageishi Nageishi is also a British surname, so I think this is a way to cross her off. Now to add to this, who's dead from this list? Excluding Arei, it leaves Min Jeung. This has something to do with Min, or possibly Arei. [5] I have abso no idea, but after doing some research I stumbled upon the word "mokusatsu." Meaning, ignore. Perhaps this could mean something? [6] A Japanese "norito", or a ritual incantation. "I come in humility and with great respect. To the divine, exalted kami, I humbly offer my prayers. Teach me to live with a pure and sincere heart. Grant me perserverance and that my heart be genuine, childlike, and true." ???? [7] Seven is the number for good luck in Western cultures. Possibly relating to Teruko, or any person with Western cultures or names, etc. [8] `Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess. `Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.' And she squeezed herself up closer to Alice's side as she spoke. Alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the Duchess was very ugly; and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon Alice's shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin. However, she did not like to be rude, so she bore it as well as she could. `The game's going on rather better now,' she said, by way of keeping up the conversation a little. `'Tis so,' said the Duchess: `and the moral of that is--"Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go round!"' `Somebody said,' Alice whispered, `that it's done by everybody minding their own business!' `Ah, well! It means much the same thing,' said the Duchess, digging her sharp little chin into Alice's shoulder as she added, `and the moral of that is--"Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves."' It either has a message in this dialogue, or it has to do with morality, or a message in the story. Perhaps Min's bonus video. It had a message of sorts, didn't it? [9] Perhaps referring to a classical song? Whit did say Charles' handwriting looks like an old lady's. Perhaps it relating to the cursive note? [10] The roman numeral for 10 is X, which is a given. But what if this is referring to something? Specifically, J, Xander, Arei, or Min. X is written on all of their portraits, the sign of their death. Now why J, you may ask? Well, J specifically noted that she's surrounded by dead people, so perhaps this is important. Another thing to note is the number 10 in their info. Ace was born in October, the tenth month of the year. Hu Jing is 5'10. Min Jeung's birthday is *July 10th.* Bit ironic this video is being posted in July too, hm? [11] I admit to lying. There is no one named DIANA CHIEM. I am, and always have been, an only child. I believe this fully because nobody, ever, has talked about Diana Chiem before. David Chiem is famous--so people would at least see, AND/OR SAY SOMETHING about his sister. However, in trial, nothing was mentioned. I wonder why? :] And that's the last one for now. It is 12 PM and I am NOT doing all 22 right now. I'll come back to this comment. UA-cam is being very laggy too...which isn't helping. Bye for now! You are welcome to correct me in any way, shape, or form in the replies. Came back, here we go. From @SpotLane [13] 正 means Correct/Positive [16] is Julius Fucik - Entry of the Gladiators [19] is Socratic dialogue/Socratic method [12] This is probably combatting how Min was scared to die. She knew the results were fair, but deep down she didn't want to die. [14] 25. 21, excluding spaces. [15] This could perhaps be referring to people's ignorace over something in the fangan...it's not coming to mind rn. [17] It has to be an onomatopoeia, or slang. [18] Someone to do with flowers, or beautiful things. Perhaps Hu, or Rose may not be good at drawing flowers...but I don't know. It could also be referring to someone's name that means flower, but I'm unsure. Like literally, Rose. it is a flower. Mai also has a flower tattoo, it could referto her. [20] Maybe referring to how people consider human nature greedy, violent, etc. [21] No idea. [22] No idea.
@@therealcemi OK I will be having spoilers in this so if you haven’t like played all the games then maybe you shouldn’t read this but this is kind of just a summarization of what I think [3] means I think [3] is a reference that the original danganronpa timeline takes place in despair time universe! I guess despair time would be considered a reboot from the other killing games if we assume Danganronpas main timeline takes places in despair times timeline this would actually make sense since the biggest most despairing events in history gets referenced a lot in this franchise and monoKuma, The originals mascot of Danganronpa, Gets referenced a lot in this game I mean it could just be an oblivious reference to the main game but what struck me was when Veronika in chapter 2 ep 2 when they discovered the playground and we see kind of one of those swing devices that look literally identical to monokuma and Veronika literally acknowledges that it’s monoKuma, So that means monoKuma is a known person in that universe. And then she goes on a bit of a zone on how that said bear, was seen a lot in history class and how he was kind of worshiped at one point which literally seeps back to “the biggest most tragic events in history “ which is the big plot point in the main games! And also in mins VTD video she’s seeing helping someone study for this big history exam which is literally about “the biggest most tragic events in history” and also about how hope was able to evolve society from those events. I think that should prove everything. Or if we actually go out of the game that might be their way of telling The team of Danganronpa about the copyright use I don’t know🤷♂️
@@therealcemi whit and eden also have east asian backgrounds, though they are biracial (eden being black and japanese and whit being white and chinese.)
Update: US Copyright code thing could also relate to Rose's art pieces being under the Spurling Foundation. Hope you all enjoy the video in a few minutes!
For some few things for theorists The numbers arent to be answered, they are to be searched. Example some words like etc[22] at the end of the song is the answer for question 22 There are also questions from questions For example [11] i lied question as the answer is suspicious gaps?
Spoilers for chapter 2 episode 13! I just realized that the person holding someone’s hand (presumably David’s) at 1:05 looks really similar to when Arei held David’s hand in CH2 Ep13 (timestamp 21:39)
DRDT SPOILERS!!!! just in case Theories about the description of this video, long rant of 1092 words In [1] they're probably talking about Xander, since his actual name isn't Xander but instead Alexander so maybe that's what it's talking about?? idk I'm just guessing tbh So all of the names mentioned in [2] it's a fruit fly and the last is a bacteria. There are like, 2 articles on the internet talking about how they've injected this bacteria onto this fly and, I'm gonna be honest here, english is not my first language and I don't know about science but, I think it basically said that the fly had a high tolerance to this antibiotic, and apart from that I do not know anything else, I'll try to investigate about this in another moment but I have to look over the rest atm so I'll do this later idk. So the [3], the 17 title is all about copyright so my theory here is what if MonoTV/The Mastermind got a copyright strike? I KNOW this might be stupid but I think maybe it could be something like that? idk I'm becoming insane [4] is basically describing what Tetraphobia is, which considering Hu is canonically chinese (I think? correct me if I'm wrong) maybe she sees a lil mark that is like "四" (that's the number 4 in chinese characters) and since the whole association with the number 4 and death maybe she realizes something and she tries to warn everyone about that?? Honestly I don't what that could be just yet but Imma be so proud if I predicted that. For [5] I don't have a clue BUT i'm gonna do the biggest reach of my entire life, what if it's talking about the bible, I KNOW HOW STUPID THAT SOUNDS BUT HEAR ME OUT the bible was originally written in biblical aramaic, biblical hebrew and greek for the new testament (that's the info I got on google so it may be wrong but still) so of course there would be words that wouldn't be able to be translated SO WHAT IF IT'S THAT??? Now that I'm writing this I realiz how stupid this is BUT WHAT IF?? (Also what if it's something in a language the characters don't know and there's a translation but what if that's like, not accurate? like for a motive they have to figure out what it's actually talking about? no clue honestly, I'm looking too hard onto this, this may not even be anything about the series but lemme dream. [6] uhhh... Prayer? idk but what if relates somehow to my last theory? apart from that I genuinely don't have nothing. Again the references to mythology and religion in [7] I don't know what to say about this but it may be related to my theory in [5] I DONT KNOW IM SORRY. [8] Is a quote said by Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass. No clue what this is supposed to reference and tbh I don't feel like we know yet, it'll have meaning in the future but I don't we can give it one now. When I searched [9] on google, I saw a lot of Sydney Morning Herald pages showing up so that did NOT help, I don't know what you're talking about, what "classics"??? maybe a movie Veronika liked and someone didn't know it??/s but if thats the case /srs. HEAR ME OUT... WHAT IF [10] HAS SMTH TO DO WITH THE CROSSES ON THE PORTRAITS??? DONT ASK BUT WHAT IF??? (I am stupid help me) Ok so if [11] is talking about someone in the cast, what if its David the one saying that? he said he had a sister named Diana and if we look at the number of circles, it matches with the amount of letters Diana Chiem, there's like no other proof other than that that says what I'm saying is true but I think it's highly likely, and I don't think there's any other name that matches apart from David himself, but I don't think that would make any sense honestly, lemme know your thoughts. Is [12] talking about Min and/or this chapter's killer? Like this seems to be very related to the killing game but also not? I don't know how to explain, its mainly the "That's why murderers never complained when we voted for them to die" that's throwing me off idk why (also majority rule YTTD reference haha) [13] is the chinese term for "Good/Positive" or "Just/Straight" depending on the way you use it, and like in [4], Hu probably has something to do with this, and maybe Hu is more important to the lore than we think she is, maybe she ends up making it very far. [14] I'm reaching a lot, but the only thing I can think of is that is smth to do with programming but other than that, I don't know. Ok so what if [15] is someone telling Teruko to just, forget about the note that was send to Xander that said to kill Teruko and that she doesn't want to know who it was or why they send it? The reason why it says where it came from is unknown to me. No clue on [16] but someone on the comment section (someone called SpotLane, if you scroll down you may see them) said it came from Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik, but other than that, I have no clue. [17] is a very interesting one honestly and I think it's going to be very important, however I'm pretty sure that it's not revelant as of now, BUT it'll be important later on [18]........what? Ok now on all seriousness maybe is someone at a funeral with Xander and that person tries to draw flowers for them but maybe they did it badly or they don't know how to draw flowers? so Xander thinks that to himself to try and forget about his family's death (I'm assuming its his family from that incident that Xander mentioned in the extra episode) I THINK ITS GONNA BE SOMETHING SAD INVOLVING XANDER(or maybe Teruko) IDK WHAT BUT SMTH LIKE THAT FOR SURE [19] is the definition of the dialogues between philosophers, LITERALLY ANY but the most popular one ones are the Socratic dialogue, i don't know much about it myself, I asked my sister who's currently studying this stuff but Idk shit about this I don't know about the rest of them, but still we'll probably figure them out in the future, we just don't have enough information rn I think
i looked some stuff up and i think number 14 relates to something in the mv being able to be decoded using a symmetric cipher, as 256 bits is a common key size
Am I the only one who noticed that at 3:44 text saying “chapter 3” appears right after David turns into a splatter of blood? I think David will actually die next chapter ngl or something bad will happen to him bc nobody likes him now
i think that red haired girl is named Mai Akusaki and she get killed by teruko and the motive that says "you killed someone" is teruko's motive. and she is xander's girl friend or something like that and she left behind a message to take revenge from teruko i think that's happened in one year before the killing game
I have a feeling the one about trying to commit suiside is Terukos. They know that “a failed hanging attempt is painful”, and just in general didn’t seem to enjoy life before the killing game.

Insanely real
What really interested me was where it said
Main roles: David and Xander
Supporting cast: teruko, arei, hu, and a marked out name
Makes me think hu could be the mastermind...
If you look at the side, it says "These 7 are the only characters that will make an appearance" i assume those are the main characters for ch 2 and we will meet a new character that was at the very bottom
Hmm could it be..... David was originally was the Main Protagonist and Teruko was the Main Antagonist, David Support is Xander! And the one who also support David too is Arei, Hu and Mai!
I think this killing game is repeat itself (Veronika have proof)
Until David go crazy and want change it to broke the killing game system? I think? (Represent Time) (Eden stabbed Xander in his eyes)
New: Teruko is the Protagonist, David is Antagonist
Hu is now against on David.
Arei is now dead....
Xander is now dead...
......David going to die on Chapter 3...? His dead body going to resemble that mannequin...
Teruko is the real troublemaker. Her luck cause other in danger(?)
Eden is her support. (Eden could be Mastermind?)
Or is Veronika Mastermind?
I hope we get to see Mai Akasaki!

Thank you!
Thanks for helping theory craft be easier😭
i seriously tried translating the stuff at 0:36 but it's a rickroll.. hats off to whoever did this, i got played
_WE_ GOT PLAYED AHFJFJF (for context me and the person who wrote this comment are friends lmao)
the first time I try translating and it’s a rickroll 😭😭😭😭
i think it’s inspired by the original video 😭😭 in that same moment the original music video references “welcome to the bourbon house” which is the japanese version of a rickroll
@@mmafuemuYK WHAT YOU DID TO ME...
@@introvert_whitkinnie HELP OMG HI
oh gosh i think i discovered something really bad 😭😭😭
in episode one of the series you can see that somebody was attacked by a fork and says the person that attacked them was a she, if you look at 3:00 a clock has a fork stabbed into it. as we know eden is the ultimate clockmaker and also goes by she/her pronouns, the person stabbed by the fork (which im assuming is xander if you look at the pattern of the scratches on his eye) says "i made a massive mistake to trust them." and eden is probably the most "trustable" person in the cast. so i'm thinking eden was actually the one who attacked xanders eye, and maybe asked for him to kill teruko
Not eden shoving a whole fork in xanders eye 😭😭 did she try to eat it or what
Did...did i just get spoiled?..
yoooo that makes sense
In what episode does he talk about getting stabbed in the eye
STOP AND IN THE NEW EPISODE SHES SEEN WITH A FORK OMG
The idea that David was the one to manipulated Xander to kill Teruko is looking more and more plausible considering we got a hair red lady present so David must have known her.
personally i think _everyone_ in the drdt cast knew this girl, not just david and teruko
But why would David do that? He clearly cared about Xander. I mean, the video literally shows Xander during the "If something is important, then it will break and disappear". Xander was someone important to David
@@snakesareamazing+ his whole thing is manipulation tbh, i do think it's unlikely ( but not completely out of the question ) that David didn't hold any care for Xander. i think it's more of a 'sociopath cares for somebody else for the first time' kind of trope, or something similar to it
@@nightvalecitizen I wouldn't call David a sociopath, he's just nihilistic and depressed
The issue with this is that in the prolouge first part, the first few seconds is showing a person with blood on papers talking about how he needed to end the killing game or kill teruko. Im assuming it to be Xander Cause of the amount of blood so I assume it's from his eye.
DAMN they really gave the theorists an entire FEAST
Exclude our protagonist-he is not “that person.”
Why are they using a male pronoun to refer to the protagonist? I had this theory that Teruko was not the true protagonist, and it as David
Maybe also playing in the fact that Teruko is the protag but tends to act more like an antag. Maybe someone else was supposed to be in that place and her luck placed her in that position instead? I get what you mean with David but I also feel like it could have been Xander.
since y’know.. he very much had a lot of screen time as well until dying.
Could be talking about the “teacher” that is mentioned in Min’s bonus episode, but idk
might be interesting to note that [11] mentions "Diana Chiem". Obviously this is David's sister, but who? How is she important? Is she a preexisting character?
@@ActualAlien_i mean we can’t confirm that for sure because there are some other names that it _could_ actually be, but it would be interesting if he decided to lie about having a sister (though i see no reason to)
btw the thumbnail, if you look closely enough, has a megaphone (david’s assigned weapon) :) 90% chance this video’s about him
Not a theorist but tried organizing the footnotes + timestamps a little for any1 who needs it
1: 1:22 In this situation, it is better to use full names over nicknames. Exclude our protagonist-he is not “that person.”
Crossword with each of the cast’s (excluding David) names in it. Roman numbers are scattered all across the video with the lyrics matching the character that is the roman number. (Sometimes the lyrics matched don’t really make sense with the character (for now))
I. Alexander 3:49 I have no idea if it counts but “(the world of abnormal sentiment dances)”
II. Rose 1:34 ”Ego cogito ergo (turbatus) sum” Cogito ergo sum comes from latin and means I think, therefore I am. Ego cogito ergo (turbatus )sum can be translated to “I think, therefore I am (troubled)”
III. Charles 1:37 “If you doubt, brittle things are broken”
IV. Arei 1:39 “Right now, why do you cry?”

I’m actually unsure if this is the right time stamp? If it is it may relate to Whit’s avoidance of his mother’s death.
Edit: it is the right one but it's unrelated lol still funny coincidence
Tetraphobia is the word for the definition on the footnote.
5: 3:11 As the translation has been intentionally botched in many parts, it should not be considered accurate.

15: 1:47 “Ignorance is bliss” is an idiom used to say that it is better to remain ignorant about certain harsh truths, in order to avoid causing oneself stress.

22: 4:21 The rest is silence.
At the end. Might refer to the song itself or the dialogue in morse code right before the footnote?

We are dying at the password screen- waaaah
Originally, this was supposed to include images so this comment may not make sense. I just copy and pasted this from my notes. I will release a google doc maybe tho
I am going to share some theories.
Something that has always caught my eye is how danganronpa despair time has a unique spin on the protagonist and antagonist roles. Ever since i heard the interpretations that Teruko is the antagonist but we are in her point of view, making her the protagonist of drdt, makes me interested already. However, after watching, I have noticed something about our fan favourite antagonist David.
What if David Chiem was supposed to be the protagonist to the game’s system? The thought of this came to my mind when I noticed David Chiem’s ahoge. It is silly but he has the protagonist ahoge. I think the only character (besides Teruko) who has it. I’ve thought deeper into his role of the antagonist in Teruko’s eyes: what if he IS the protagonist to the game’s system, however turned to be the real antagonist all along.
More points to support this, (credits to finally_in_reverse in the yt comments) in Literature Girl Insane fan-mv where David Chiem stars in, the description mentions this certain line: “In this situation, it is better to use full names over nicknames. Exclude our protagonist-he is not “that person.”” The protagonist is referred with he/him pronouns, so it can’t be Teruko since in canon, yknow. You know who else is referred in he/him pronouns? David Chiem. I do not know what the line means though, but I know David is very suspicious.
It is obvious that Teruko has an antagonistic personality: pessimism and blunt. On the other hand, David’s personality at first was like a protagonist: hopeful, optimistic and awkward. (I cannot find keywords to describe personalities better, pls let me know if i seemed to mischaracterise them) However, he later descends to madness in chapter 2’s trial and reveals his true antagonistic personality. David was actually manipulative and selfish. I had this small thought: “was there/will there be a phase where Teruko acts like an actual protagonist?” But that is not important. I think there is a reason why he acts like a bitch though… let’s look at the lore
I had a theory, the game is stuck in a time loop and David is trying to stop it. Veronika foreshadows this by telling us a story about “a boy stuck in a time loop and forced to watch his friends die for eternity” and so on. Some of the descriptions matches David, don’t you think?
“While he is horrified at first” it could be David’s starry-eyed persona being genuine in the earlier time loops.
“Becomes more concerned over his growing boredom”
“starts to fall into a more sinister tone” David is foul-mouthed. Since the story Veronika talks about might be in the boy’s perspective…
“protagonist descends into insanity over time” David is an insane person. manipulated people.
It maybe not be accurate, but what Veronika said is definitely foreshadow. this reminded me of another part in Drdt, especially the way beginning of this serious,
I had a thought: you know the mysterious, unnamed person in the prologue?
What if the person in the beginning of the prologue, episode 1, is the boy stuck in the time loop
The boy wants to end the killing game as he is sick of seeing his friends die. Using his memory of the previous loops, he tries to fix mistakes and even end up tricking the game system by switching David and Teruko’s roles in the game. Let’s go back to the literary girl nonsense mv.
A screen cap shows a cast list.
The main roles are listed: David Chiem and Xander Matthews. Which is unusual, Teruko is supposed to be the main cast right? Instead, she is listed under “supporting cast”. There was also a name: Mai Akasaki crossed out. If you don’t know Mai, she is the red hair girl that appeared in Teruko’s flashback.
This proved my point further that David was the protagonist. Teruko was the antagonist. Xander could be the secondary protagonist that was supposed to live until the end of game then.
Remember in chapter 1, there was a note saying “kill Teruko” that was sent to Xander? It was never confirmed who sent the note. But I do have an idea that David was the one that sent the note. Xander is a big fan of David, so David uses that as an advantage to control him to attempt to kill Teruko. But why would he do that? The answer is, so he messes up the Danganronpa’s system so the protagonist and antagonist roles switch, to stop the time loop I guess as he doesn’t want to watch his friends die all over again. And he has also been lead to insanity.
David is not the only one I am suspicious about though… Veronika is suspicious. If the foreshadowing is true, how does she know all this? Could she be the mastermind? Maybe the game’s system got messed up so she broke in? Could she be involved with the mastermind, perhaps the traitor?
David and Veronika definitely have memories about the past time loops then…
Tdlr: David was the protagonist stuck in the time loop of the killing game. He was horrified at his friends dying so in the next loops, he tries to end the game, only resulting his friends die all over again and again. This time, he sends a note to his friend that stayed by him the last loops, Xander. This makes things different by switching his and Teruko’s roles of the “protagonist”, tricking the system. This is so he hopes things will turn out different and the game ends.
The time loop theory is fucking brilliant thank you so much
I feel like afew more people know they're in a loop and my main suspect is J : because when nico said that they did try to kill ace J was angry and talked about murder like she expirinced it alot before since she comes from a rich and famous family if one of her family members got murdered it will be in the news and people will talk about it since she and arturo who is a big fan of her family never bring it up its a sign that murder didn't come from her family her hatred for her family could be a sign she didn't have friends and that's because of her mother so murder had to come from somewhere else pheraps a killing game?
Maybe I'm looking into it too far but that's my theory
This is an awesome theory! It also correlates with the "Eden is the mastermind because Danganronpa: Despair TIME" theory.
@@mountain_hills ooo? can u explain? Im interested
@@beatrootsheep3746 so, a few people have considered Eden's personality to be very suspicious, as she is a very optimistic person in the middle of a killing game (she's also one of the people who didn't have breakdowns yet). By the way, she's trying really hard to befriend Teruko which is kind of weird. And they have also noted that Eden's talent is "Ultimate Clockmaker", which looks very suspicious due to the title. And I think Eden being the mastermind could correlate to the theory of a time loop since of the previous points.

[ 3:00 ]
**Mai Akasaki** - "**Portrait of someone dearly loved**"
**Teruko Tawaki** - "**Portrait of someone dearly unloved**"
Theory: David may have manipulated Xander into killing Teruko, to avenge Mai in some sort of way. This would explain why Xander listened to the note rather than flatly refused, because he looked up to David and had a celebrity crush (sort of) on him, meaning he would be more likely to follow orders if he knew it was from David.
I presume that both David and Teruko knew Mai, but Mai suffered the consequences of Teruko’s bad luck and either died or wound up severely injured (most likely dead). This could have lead David to grow hateful towards Teruko and believing it was her fault, which isn’t much of a stretch considering the few memories that remain intact prior to the Killing Game are ones that the Headmaster believes would be more likely to drive you to kill.
This isn’t to say David didn’t love/care for Xander, he very clearly did, this is just some food for thought.
i havent seen anyone talk about 3:00 when a portrait of Teruko says "portrait of someone dearly unloved" and the red haired girl who is "portrait of someone dearly loved" i wonder if David knows who she is.
I think the red haired girl is the girl in the thumbnail in ch 1 ep6
I think 11 might be referring to David’s mentioned sister (episode 10 chapter 2), Diana. the spaces check out with the amount of letters in her first and last name
and bc hes now known to lie and stuff, it works
Why would he lie about having a sister and even give her a name? He only brought that up cause the cast was discussing Arturo's secret having a younger sister. He could just say he was always an only child and it would've had the same effect of not drawing suspicion onto him
@@Finally_in_reverseprobably so they would inow that the sister was alive ??
@@Finally_in_reverse Diana is a feminine sounding version of his name. David. But I think his sister is real, and that it's no lie.
@@4FTER_GL0Wwhich means he’s hiding the truth by disguising it as a lie. wonder why he’s hiding the fact that diana is real.. besides, they wouldn’t just give us the name of his sister for no reason. they didn’t give the name for both arei’s sisters and arturo’s sister. which means she’s definitely going important in the future
WHAT I'VE GATHERED [ i'll be updating this frequently... ]
> the wingdings are rick rolls.....
> i’m guessing people ARE correct about david being the real main character, as such stated at like 3:07 when it says ‘main characters’ and it shows david chiem and xander matthews, in supporting cast it has five names, teruko, hu, and arei, with the other one being cut off and the another one being crossed out (but we can tell that name is mai). i don’t know what the name that’s cut off means, but i’m pretty sure the initials are M.N.?
> i suspect hu will play a much bigger role in the oncoming chapters, especially since her name was mentioned in the list of 'supporting characters'
> on the side if you tilt your head you can barely see the words 'i.e. these are the only characters who make an appearance', i can't tell if this is for the MV or something else entirely.
> i'm pretty sure at (3:12) xander is holding the gun, since he did get one for his special weapon + the gloves match up. i don't know who could be holding the letter though, the only person who has a ring on their right thumb it whit, but his sleeves are too short, i was considering it to be mai, but she wears gloves, so we won't know for now
> at 3:43, it states 'i was satisfied, so i'll disappear', and then at 3:45 it flashes 'Chapter 3' for a split moment + it was cut off, this most likely implies something about david disappearing, either it be physically or emotionally/mentally in the next chapter... we ain't even past the trial yet SLOW DOWN DAVID

Small detail, but I think that mysterious M.N name ends with an "i". You can see the dot. Not particularly helpful, but worth noting. I can't think of anyone with a last name starting with N and ending with i.
@@spiritofchaos58me neither, the only thing i’m considering is ‘Naegi’??
@@spiritofchaos58 arei's does (nageishi)
@@elliottcaleb6582 OH YEAH, you're right!! but the last name consists of 5 letters, so it rules out that
at 3:07 it says
main roles:
David Chiem
Xander Matthews
Supporting Cast:
Teruko Tawaki
Arei Nageishi
Hu Jing
Mai Akasaki (thata skribbled out tho)
it leaves me with so many questions like
-maybe Xanders not actually dead?? i feel like story wise if any of the characters were to actually be alive, it woukd be Xander
-Is David the real protag? I always kind of fwlt like maybe Teruko wasnt the actualy protag but idk. I just feel like something gonna happen to her or smthing just gonna happen in general
-Whats Hu Jing doing there, like why is she there???
-I also think that Areis death is going to play a big part in the whole killing game based on the fact that her name was on that list.
idk tho, tell me if you have any ideas going along with this
Tbh... I think Hu is gonna end up being a culprit, because her hidden quote is 'I want to pay for what I've done. Even then, I want to live.' And sadly I think Hu is gonna kill David, hence the blood splatter on him with the words 'chapter 3' and 'I'll leave' shown at the end of this MV. Unless there's about to be some major plot twist in the Chapter 2 Trial involving Hu, such as her being Arei's killer, I don't see why else she'd be listed there. Hu is already very close to David, too- she said David knew how she felt, so like, it's implied she confided in him about her secret (speculated to be the suicide one) and there's definitely more to their relationship then we're seeing currently.
I also have a theory based on Arturo's hidden quote 'You "hated them", but even that doesn't justify what you did' that Arturo is going to direct this quote at one of the killers in the trial, possibly one who did a double-kill judging by the word 'them' in the quote. If that's the case, Hu will probably kill David, and one other person. Ace, maybe, idk. In chapter 3: Because that's when the double-kills in Danganronpa always happen. And Hu has reason to "hate" David now, and she already hates Ace.
thank you for coming to my ted talk lol
@tinaangelica2760 WAIT YOU'RE ON TO SOMETHING ACTUALLY!!!
David said his secret was about having a family history of depression initially, so it makes sense that even if they weren't the closest (if they were close before the secrets were given out, people wouldn't have been so shocked about Hu saying she was 'betrayed' or whatever she said i cant remember tbh) of all people, she might turn to him, especially if her secret was about suicide.
Everytime I come back to this video I cry because David’s whole character is actually so interesting but super sad. After decoding the messages, it gets even more tragic
No idea of what the description means, but it's probably a phrase so my theory for the fourth one:
In japanese, the number four can be read as "shi", just like death
四 → kanji for four, pronunciation being "shi"
死 → kanji for death, pronunciation also being "shi"
"Shi" has the same pronunciation as "she", which leads to the word being "she"
JUST A THEORY BTW
Same thing in Chinese characters. 四 (Sì) is four,
死(Sǐ) is death
TERUKO TAWAKI??? Mai??? interesting
A GAME THEORY! AND CUT!
'[4] The practice of avoiding the number four; it is most common in East Asia. This superstition arises from the fact that the number four can be read similar to the word “death” in multiple languages.'
If we look at our character list:
David *Chiem*
Hu *Jing*
Min *Jeung*
They all have last names with a Chinese and/or Cantonese background.
Teruko *Tawaki*
Arei *Nageishi*
They all have last names with a Japanese background. However, Arei's last name is massively found in Brazil aswell.
The rest of the cast have a last name with usually English roots aside from Nico who has a Armenian last name (West Asia).
Looking from this, it shows that quite a bit of the cast have a hinted Eastern Asian background.
I think it's also confirmed that Whit has an Asian parent but I can't confirm nor deny this.
If we go back to the footnote, we can see it talks about a superstition found mainly in Eastern Asia and families that come from that area. This may lead us to believe that this specific note is on about the listed characters.
' [1] In this situation, it is better to use full names over nicknames. Exclude our protagonist-he is not “that person.” ' may imply that if my investigation is correct, it might be on about David Chiem or Teruko Tawaki.
It could be on about David due to the use of 'he' and since he is the only male character with a confirmed east asian background to my knowledge that leaves him to be what it is on about. Aswell as the use of the phrase 'He is not "that person" ' . It could be on about how he acted in the last few episodes and he is also where usual protagonists go in danganronpa games.
It could be on about Teruko instead because it mentions about 'our protagonist' which as we know that Teruko as of now is our protagonist
I'm ranting on and on about something that probably isn't true lol
edit: guys pls don't read this i was on a massive amount of weed when writing this
edit 2: Whit is confirmed to have a Chinese dad ty revriee
I can confirm (source is the QnA) that Whit's dad, Lin, is Chinese!
@@revriee Thank you :))
NO IDEA WHAT THIS VIDEO WILL IMPLY AT ALL, NOR WHAT THE DESCRIPTION MEANS, BUT SLAY
[2] Drosophilia melanogaster is the scientific name for the common fruit fly, which Min explains in her voice trailer. That feels like a bit too specific of a coincidence to not have some connection to her.
Guesses for a couple of things in the description:
(Edit - One of these is kinda spoiler-y for Ch. 2 Ep. 10 so read this at your own risk)
[11] - Could mean that David was lying about having a sister named Diana (the number of blanks is the same as the number of letters in "Diana Chiem")
[12] - Possibly a reference to YTTD although the part about murderers doesn't make as much sense there
[18] - Maybe this is a reference to My Immortal? It's the first thing that comes to mind here
12 - it shows monokuma in the background so we might found out more about the connection of despair time to the actual danganronpa universe
MY IMMORTAL LIKE THE FANFICTION??????
i also thought about the yttd one
[2] referring to min. the first species mentioned is the same one she mentions in the VA trailer
[3] where u.s. copyright law is contained. most likely referring to rose
[11] the dots have the same number of characters that *diana chiem* does
[13] means “yes/correct/just”
[14] four/five words (two hundered fifty six/two hundered and fifty six)
[15] possibly referring to charles?? maybe he decided that he didn’t want to know what happened in his past. also kinda goes with his hidden quote.
[18] might refer to mai, she has a floral tattoo
[19] socratic dialogue
thats all i have for now. hope the dev is feeling better!
EDIT: tried to correlate the roman numerals through the song to the characters, idk if they make much sense
So i tried to do the crossword at 1:22 and this is what I got, david isnt present since he isnt "that person":
ACROSS
I. Alexander (Xander's full name)
IV. Arei- Right now, why do you cry?
VI. Arturo- Mind exercises, 1234
VIII. Nico- even if i try to think- idk! (lmao)
IX. Levi- look aside from that usual medicine give me
XII. Eden- But you're in my way aren't you?
XIII. Teruko- "or" (It might be the whole thing of "To be or not to be:
XV. Whit- Remaining Ignorant isn't that "happiness"?
XVI. Hu- Go and cry.
DOWN
II. Rose- Ego cogito ergo (turbatus) sum- I think therefore i am or when including turbatus I think therefore i have been disturbed.
III. Charles- If you doubt brittle things are broken
V. Ace- Right now, why do you go insane?
VII. Julia- Do it like that let's live together!
X. Min
XI. Mai - God is Dead
XIV. Veronika - Substance of the Arts
Min's is actually really subtle but she does have one! It's footnote [10], at 2:00. So it's "Democratic-ly" (but it might also connect to the text in the background which is an explanation of the class trial)
But there is 17 which ia strange
1:52 me personally think this is hu aswell
Though it's interesting. We see David doesn't like Teruko but if we believe that the secret he got about someone being responsible for the killing game belonging to Teruko - why he lied and told everyone it's xander secret?
probaly so he has leverage against her, i’m sure he knows and is protecting her to gain something, but also, it could be someone else
I’m gonna cry 😭 when I tried to translate the wingdings from 0:35, i found out that it was a literal rickroll… how could you do this to me DRDT?!?! haishdaujsks
I AM ALSO CRYING BRO...
Dangggg
David prob wrote that
David woke up and chose Rickroll
It would seem as though the hiatus is over, and hopefully, all is well for them, and soon, we'll be able to enjoy yet another episode of This amazing show
On Twitter the dev said to enjoy it “during this ongoing hiatus”, so unfortunately not.
I think, if they made a hiatus of 3 months each 1/3 of an entire episode, they would actually be comfortable with working.
3:41 " I will disapear! chapter 3 " Is it foreshadowing David dies in third chapter? Though it has question marks so it doesn't have to be David.
I think you might be right since David also disappears for a second and what's left looks like a blood splatter
Wishing health and happiness to the entire DRDT team! Still loving and thinking about all their work.
For code in video:
The first line of code that shows up is the exact same to entry seventeen in undertale. So by using that I could decode them.
It’s a rickroll
Guys the last name on the supporting cast list at 3:06 says: "M[] Naegi" if you compare the three middle letters of the surname (if you can't see them zoom on the image they're barely visible) with the a, g, and e in Nageishi you'll see that; the first and second letters have a single pixel from the background in the middle and on the left side respectively, just like how the highest point of the parabola in the letter a is in the middle and, in the e it's more on the left side since the right side of thw letter is fat, the third one is definitely a g as you can see by the barely visible line at the right side of the round part, and from that the other two make much more sense.
Makoto appears in DRDT real???!!
(ill add more later)
the text (sources) i can find:
0:30 -
"i can't even guess myself.." - Osmau Dazai/No longer human
"i did love you once you should not have believed me" - modernized shakespeare, act 3 scene 1 hamlet
"thought: peaceful sound. peaceful place..." - agatha christie/then there were none
"if you're hythlodaeus.." not sure about morus but hythlodaeus is from final fantasy XIV
i think the girl after is his sister? they have similar golden eyes
now for the comments that come up (amount of dashes = amount of circles
"lets play spot the komeada" - so difficult - david
"----- is like the byakuya/nagito/kokichi of the cast" - most likely david
"I like that ------ is the protag who also plays the antag" - probably teruko
"mm ---- anyone?" - mastermind eden, rose, nico, levi (most likely eden)
"- and ---- totally swapped places" - the j and arei swap theory
"----- will obviously die in ch5" - david?
"I just hope that ------ doesn't go crazy and kill in chapter 3. That would be way to predictable" - arturo or teruko fit
"everyone in the comment section is a f/cking idiot" - polite much
ok every other comment was "posted" 8 years ago, 4 years ago. but the last one was "posted" a second ago, could it be david telling us we're all wrong in these theories? or is he lying about that to?
back to text sources
"was absolutely taken with..." kyoto journal/lemon
The word cross, the helping hints are just "that person". I think characters from the cast corelate to the sentences in the description? doesnt fit for 11 but i feel it could be important?
1;26 - HSEWatch/4 types of electric injuries
- Lewis Caroll/Alice in wonderland
- Antoine de saint/Exúpery
omg that’s so cool but creepy that the drdt viewers in their verse is almost if not exactly like us 😭
@@aizichi mhm! could it be confirming that we are all connected to this? or is it that our theories are wrong?
OH MY FUCKING GOD OH MY GOD XANDER APPEARANCE REAL
me who instantly wants to decode the wingdings code that the dev put in:
"okay, cool! we're no."
"wait, this kinda fits a rick roll. surely it isnt."
*finishes the first line*
"yeah. it's a rick roll"

THERE'S SO MUCH HAPPENING I CANT WAIT TO READ ALL THE THEORY THREADS
3:13 translation incase nobody has it yet.
i dont have the time to read through them all.
“The idiots fancying themselves as revolutionaries,”
“Let’s give them tickets with lead and make them write with blood”
“A document of self-denying confessions”
“Let’s do that!”
if any mistakes, please lmk.
YOOOOOOOOO NEW MV LETS GO!! I’m gonna assume that this is probably about David (judging by the megaphone) but it could be Xander, Mai, Teruko, or Arei as well.
I have no idea what the song might be, so I’ll take a shot in the dark and say KING by Kanaria.
I hope everything has been going well for you DRDT Dev!! Take as much time as you need to get better!! And I hope that the rest of the team is doing good too!!
I commented what the song is but king is a decent guess
Yo what this
Open the floodgates these theories are flooding in fast! Everyone's anticipation and curiosity has definitely piqued, the collective excitement doesn't come unwarranted though, (with the possibility of more content about our dear oatmeal man). Yum.
why hello there 😈
Ah, I see a fellow distinguished guest has joined quite the eventful party. 😶
@@Potatoe_dog of course! 😁
@@driftaloft 😄
At 3:53 there is text that says Find the "n", then there is a wall of text. The "n" is 11 down and 11 across.

Hamlet
Lemon
Murder on the orient express
The little prince
Shoemaker by levy(?)
Alice in wonderland
there is another one but I cant find the source of it
translating the wingdings jusy opened up so many theories
its rick roll
Exciting!! Hoping the team is all good :)) Looking forward to the MV
hi riza !!
😯
REALLY excited for this!! Best wishes to you drdtdev 💜
In regards to the description: I’m guessing that during this music video, there’s going to be references to literature through flashes of text on screen. The description is just writing them out more uniformly. Please don’t start over-theorising just yet.
Edit: HOLY SHIT THAT WAS AMAZING! (Also I saw Wingdings and fast text at the end, and I’m really tempted to not take my own advice and IMMEDIATELY start over-theorising.)
Considering what the song is. Good guess
@@OsiriaOcularis What is the song?
@@everett1584 I left a comment already by itself but its Bungaku Shoujo Insane by Karasuyasabou
@@OsiriaOcularisi gave it a listen, it’s actually a pretty good song
the one at the start is a rick roll KSFJDKJDSF
for anyone wondering, the morse at the end says:
YOU STILL BELIEVED IN ME DESPITE EVERYTHING I'VE DONE.
BUT THAT'S JUST FANTASY, ISN'T IT?
I SIMPLY CHOSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DID.
EDIT
I missed a part at the end which says:
AFTER ALL, I'M INCAPABLE OF BEING SOMEONE WITHOUT YOU (pointed out by @gamergworl5650)
ooohhhh
you msised a part, theres anothwr at the end thats "AFTER ALL, I'M INCAPABLE OF BEING SOMEONE WITHOUT YOU"
@@gamergworl5650 oh mb, thanks!
@@4sinns154 yw :3
OMGGG!! I LOVE WAITING FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS FOR A MASTERPIECE TO CONTINUE, I'M TOO EXCITED WRARARAR!
taking a shot in the dark here and saying the song is bungaku shōjo insane (literature girl insane) because the thumbnail looks quite similar style and composition wise (and footnotes are found in literature!)
im 99.9% sure you’re correct
For anybody wondering what the wingdings in the beginning say here it is (this is not a joke this is literally what it translates too 💀):
1.
We’re no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment’s what I’m thinking of
You wouldn’t get this from any other guy
2.
I just wanna tell you how I’m feeling
Gotta make you understand
3.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
I CAN'T WAIT!!!
EDIT: Omg this is amazingly well put together for David's character! ☆Seeing Literature Girl Insane is bringing back such nostalgia that I could cry!
As a BSD and a DRDT fan, this video and it's references scratch my brain
At 2:22 note how Xander is considered to be “something important”. Xander/David shippers REJOICE!!
YES
@@aizichi glad to see I’m not the only shipper with taste ;D
Also, don’t forget that David also put Xander with him in the part about main roles, so I mean. :)
More evidence
GUYS IT FINALLY HIT 100K VIEWS❗️❗️❗️🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU DRDT FOR FEEDING US THIS MASTERPIECE
Im glad you feel better to be able to post again!
0:35 did david just rickroll us
FYI for all the theory people. The wingdings at the beginning are a rick roll.
The song is 文学少女インセイン カラスヤサボウfeat.鏡音リン or Translated; Literature Girl Insane [Karasuyasabou feat. Kagamine Rin]. Feel free to google it and dissect the lyrics and song itself while yall wait! It's what I'm doing right now!
ANOTHER MV LETS GO
I hope you're feeling better now too!!
that was. phenomenal I'm literally shaking 😦
Easter eggs that I’ll edit as I discover them:
0:35 Flashes of Wingdings text are just a rickroll 😭
0:37 text refers to the book “I am a cat” written in Japanese “Wagahai wa Neko de Aru” which revived the rare pronoun “Wagahai” due to its use only in contexts of nobility. Clear reference to MonoTV
1:22 Crossword Solution:
Across:
I. Alexander
IV. Arei
VI. Arturo
VIII. Nico
IX. Levi
XII. Eden
XIII. Teruko
XV. Whit
XVI. Hu
Down:
II. Rose
III. Charles
V. Ace
VII. Julia
X. Min
XI. _ai (Mai?)
XIV. Veronika
For XI down, it is logically impossible with the main 16 cast as options to use David’s name, instead implicating Mai goes in that spot. Why?
Next, for the one footnote about Roman numeral X, this crossword suggests Min has something to do with it.
Lastly, there is a giant “Now” with a 1 next to it. I think it refers to footnotes because even though it’s not necessary to know to solve the crossword, it is a hint to use full names like “Alexander” and “Julia”
1:33 Suspicious gaps has a number 11? That’s the footnote about lying about having a sister people theorize is about David. Idk what it means but one of the gaps has two dots of blood that make it kind of look like a face :D
1:34 Brief flash of text about a secret being spilled for one of the males. Arturo or Charles are my guesses for who this refers to
1:36 Latin for “I think therefore I am (disturbed)” (thanks google translate) does the II refer back to the crossword? This would implicate Rose for… something?
1:39 Same as before there’s a Roman numeral III now, referring to Charles? There is text about doubt and also upside down text talking about a simple secret invisible to the eye like his forgotten older brother
1:41 IV refers to Arei? Once again, crossword, and she was crying a lot in chapter 2
1:43 At this point if I say a Roman numeral refer back to the crossword theory. V. Ace he was going insane in chapter 2. Also text about cats having 9 *additional* lives, so 10 in total?
1:48 XIV. Veronika arguably appreciates the substance of art more than rose because rose is in debt and has little interest in her creations. XV. Whit always jokes around. These two things can be considered happiness, I suppose.
1:50 XI. Presumed to be Mai and the text suggests her importance and potential death? I didn’t time it but a second after it says “become: brainwashed.” So maybe that’s what happened to Mai.
1:53 Refers to footnote 20. I’m unsure why it’s important to consider the 5 stages of grief and their irrelevance to human behavior.
Alright guys I’ve been watching this at 0.25 speed for a couple hours now, so I’m gonna take a break at this last time stamp. ✌🏻
(I know I haven't finished the previous segments, but I don't have paper atm)
4:21 Morse code says (reformatted for easy reading) "You still believed in me despite everything I've done. But that's just fantasy, isn't it? I simply chose to believe that you did. After all, I'm incapable of being someone without you."
the morse thing at the final says: "YOU STILL BELIEVED IN ME DESPITE EVERYTHING I'VE DONE. BUT THAT'S JUST FANTASY WASN'T? I SIMPLY CHOSE TO BELIEVE THAT YOU DID. AFTERALL, I'M CAPABLE OF BEING SO MEANE WITHOUT YOU (???)" idk, just correct me if i'm wrong
edit: the wingdings thing its just a rickroll, dont try it
mhm, in the crucigram i got this:
I. Alexander
II. Rose
III. Charles
IV. Arei
V. Ace
VI. Arturo
VII. Julia
VIII. Nico
IX. Levi
X. Min
XI. Mai
XII. Eden
XIII. Teruko
XIV. Veronika
XV. Whit
XVI. Hu
some of these come out with a phrase, i found these:
II (rose) = ego cogito
III (charles) = if you doubt brittle things are broken
IV (arei) = right now, why do you cry?
V (ace) = right now, why do you go insane?
it jumps to XIV (veronika) = thins like substance of the arts
XV (whit) = remaining ignorants / (i suppose it is related to the 15 of the description//)
XI (Mai) = god is dead / (interesting... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔)
XIII (teruko) = or not to be?
VII (julia / j) = do it like that let's live togheter!
XVI (hu) = ???: Go and cry.
XII (eden???) = ???: but you're in my way, aren't you? move aside, move aside juts like that and disappear!
VI (arturo) = exercises, 1 2 3 4
VIII (nico) = even if i try to think, idk (lmao!!!)
IX (levi) = look aside the unusual from that medicine?? / (i didnt understand nothing of this)
I've been watching the mv for 3 hours in a loop and this was all I found, there are more things, but it will take me too long to write them 👍👍
the end is AFTERALL,I'M INCAPABLE OF BEING SOMEONE WITHOUT YOU.

hope ur doing better drdtdev doing force urself into working for our entertaining!! Yourself always comes first so hope ur gonna feel better !!:33
Well, the footnotes are just sort of there.
if someone can find them all that would be cool, but here's what I found
21: 3:49, literally just about etc.
22: Literally the ending, flashes on the screen for just a short moment
7: Hard to Catch 2:43, maybe the "Let's just skip it." means, "Let's do mental gymnastics and ignore it."
2: Hard to Catch 3:02, shows arabidopsis, but then provides other examples that might be on it, like a fly or e coli.
8: Hard to Catch: 3:03, shows dandelions (weed), quote comes from Alice in the Wonderland. Dandelions might stand for innocence? and there is a flower scene in the book, but idk.
5: 3:11, translation was botched, so they didn't translate it.
1: Hard to Catch 1:22, a cross word puzzle. idk what that means, but it shows up.
15: 1:48, mentions "ignorance is bliss" is part of the puzzle.
20: Hard to Catch 1:53, talks about the five stages of grief and how outdated it is.
17: 2:00, democratic-ly is not a real word.
12: Hard to Catch 2:02, Talks about a majority votes, where one person has all 16 votes. Voting Results: Everyone will be executed, There is no such thing as "victory" in a killing game.
9: 2:08, degraded copy means no respect for the classics. and apparently the less serious one :_:
16: 2:51, the music sheet comes from "Entry of the Gladiator - Julius Fucik" which was meant to be a military song, but now is a circus song.
Well, that's all
omg thanks i missed some of these
Yoooo i'm so excited for this! I hope everyone on the team is doing good!

@@Mushitarosspouse RAAAHHHH
Okay. WOOOOOOOOOOOO here we go. Solving all of them as best as I can in the morning.
[1] A person named @Finally_in_reverse actually brought up a great idea. They said that David Chiem is the true protagonist, sitting across the mascot (stereotypical DR Protag position) and that "that person" is perhaps referring to him lying about being a shitty person.
[2] I don't know what this could exactly be referring to, if anything, but that's the scientific name of the common fruit fly. Min has said this before, do you remember? E. Coli is a bacteria--perhaps this is referring to how something, or someone has been acting like a "pest" towards the cast or other people. It could also refer to someone who is "sick", in the cast. This could be sick physically, or sick in the head--mentally. Who knows?
[3] Copyright law, as defined in Title 17 of the United States Code, protects "original works of authorship fixed in a tangible medium of expression" for a limited period. So this has something to do with copyright, no matter the exact details. I'm going to let you guys theorize on that, because I currently have absolutely no idea, besides it having to do with the TV show.
[4] Another person named @Youwillfindmeeverywhere theorized this has something to do with East Asian background, which is derived from their names. They believe the people this is referring to are:
David Chiem
Hu Jing
Min Jeung
Teruko Tawaki
Arei Nageishi
Nageishi is also a British surname, so I think this is a way to cross her off.
Now to add to this, who's dead from this list? Excluding Arei, it leaves Min Jeung. This has something to do with Min, or possibly Arei.
[5] I have abso no idea, but after doing some research I stumbled upon the word "mokusatsu." Meaning, ignore. Perhaps this could mean something?
[6] A Japanese "norito", or a ritual incantation. "I come in humility and with great respect. To the divine, exalted kami, I humbly offer my prayers. Teach me to live with a pure and sincere heart. Grant me perserverance and that my heart be genuine, childlike, and true." ????
[7] Seven is the number for good luck in Western cultures. Possibly relating to Teruko, or any person with Western cultures or names, etc.
[8] `Tut, tut, child!' said the Duchess. `Everything's got a moral, if only you can find it.' And she squeezed herself up closer to Alice's side as she spoke.
Alice did not much like keeping so close to her: first, because the Duchess was very ugly; and secondly, because she was exactly the right height to rest her chin upon Alice's shoulder, and it was an uncomfortably sharp chin. However, she did not like to be rude, so she bore it as well as she could.
`The game's going on rather better now,' she said, by way of keeping up the conversation a little.
`'Tis so,' said the Duchess: `and the moral of that is--"Oh, 'tis love, 'tis love, that makes the world go round!"'
`Somebody said,' Alice whispered, `that it's done by everybody minding their own business!'
`Ah, well! It means much the same thing,' said the Duchess, digging her sharp little chin into Alice's shoulder as she added, `and the moral of that is--"Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves."'
It either has a message in this dialogue, or it has to do with morality, or a message in the story. Perhaps Min's bonus video. It had a message of sorts, didn't it?
[9] Perhaps referring to a classical song? Whit did say Charles' handwriting looks like an old lady's. Perhaps it relating to the cursive note?
[10] The roman numeral for 10 is X, which is a given. But what if this is referring to something? Specifically, J, Xander, Arei, or Min. X is written on all of their portraits, the sign of their death. Now why J, you may ask? Well, J specifically noted that she's surrounded by dead people, so perhaps this is important. Another thing to note is the number 10 in their info. Ace was born in October, the tenth month of the year. Hu Jing is 5'10. Min Jeung's birthday is *July 10th.* Bit ironic this video is being posted in July too, hm?
[11] I admit to lying. There is no one named DIANA CHIEM. I am, and always have been, an only child.
I believe this fully because nobody, ever, has talked about Diana Chiem before. David Chiem is famous--so people would at least see, AND/OR SAY SOMETHING about his sister. However, in trial, nothing was mentioned. I wonder why? :]
And that's the last one for now. It is 12 PM and I am NOT doing all 22 right now. I'll come back to this comment. UA-cam is being very laggy too...which isn't helping. Bye for now! You are welcome to correct me in any way, shape, or form in the replies.
Came back, here we go.
From @SpotLane
[13] 正 means Correct/Positive
[16] is Julius Fucik - Entry of the Gladiators
[19] is Socratic dialogue/Socratic method
[12] This is probably combatting how Min was scared to die. She knew the results were fair, but deep down she didn't want to die.
[14] 25. 21, excluding spaces.
[15] This could perhaps be referring to people's ignorace over something in the fangan...it's not coming to mind rn.
[17] It has to be an onomatopoeia, or slang.
[18] Someone to do with flowers, or beautiful things. Perhaps Hu, or Rose may not be good at drawing flowers...but I don't know. It could also be referring to someone's name that means flower, but I'm unsure. Like literally, Rose. it is a flower. Mai also has a flower tattoo, it could referto her.
[20] Maybe referring to how people consider human nature greedy, violent, etc.
[21] No idea.
[22] No idea.
Again, you are welcome to correct me in any way, shape, or form in the replies.
@@therealcemi OK I will be having spoilers in this so if you haven’t like played all the games then maybe you shouldn’t read this but this is kind of just a summarization of what I think [3] means
I think [3] is a reference that the original danganronpa timeline takes place in despair time universe!
I guess despair time would be considered a reboot from the other killing games if we assume Danganronpas main timeline takes places in despair times timeline this would actually make sense since the biggest most despairing events in history gets referenced a lot in this franchise and monoKuma, The originals mascot of Danganronpa, Gets referenced a lot in this game I mean it could just be an oblivious reference to the main game but what struck me was when Veronika in chapter 2 ep 2 when they discovered the playground and we see kind of one of those swing devices that look literally identical to monokuma and Veronika literally acknowledges that it’s monoKuma, So that means monoKuma is a known person in that universe. And then she goes on a bit of a zone on how that said bear, was seen a lot in history class and how he was kind of worshiped at one point which literally seeps back to “the biggest most tragic events in history “ which is the big plot point in the main games! And also in mins VTD video she’s seeing helping someone study for this big history exam which is literally about “the biggest most tragic events in history” and also about how hope was able to evolve society from those events. I think that should prove everything. Or if we actually go out of the game that might be their way of telling The team of Danganronpa about the copyright use I don’t know🤷♂️
@@therealcemi whit and eden also have east asian backgrounds, though they are biracial (eden being black and japanese and whit being white and chinese.)
Update: US Copyright code thing could also relate to Rose's art pieces being under the Spurling Foundation. Hope you all enjoy the video in a few minutes!
For some few things for theorists
The numbers arent to be answered, they are to be searched. Example some words like etc[22] at the end of the song is the answer for question 22
There are also questions from questions
For example [11] i lied question as the answer is suspicious gaps?
2:23 Xander doesn't have his eyepatch?? Did he and David know each other before the killing game?
May be mai or something
Min Music video:
Relaxing, calm, just let me sleep
David’s Music video:
Ahahahahahahahahaha
Chaos, theories and I make no sense ;)
Get better soon 🍀
&
The video is already interesting
THERES SO MUCH SECRETS. AND LROE. AND EVRRYTHING. OHHHH MY GOD ITS GONNA BE SO FUN DISSECTING THIS
Okay now I believe that this antagonist David is just another facade and he's just depressed
What makes you say that from the video?
“if something is important then it’ll break and disappear” i know what you are
1:05 Look familiar, anyone? Hits different after Episode 13…
at 0:35 the wingdings translate to the lyrics of "never gonna give you up" by rick astley
the whole thing is rick astley
Xanvid canon xanvid real

SO REAL
FATTEST W
@@corzacorpseomg hi stuble 😱
Spoilers for chapter 2 episode 13!
I just realized that the person holding someone’s hand (presumably David’s) at 1:05 looks really similar to when Arei held David’s hand in CH2 Ep13 (timestamp 21:39)
I hope you and the team are doing well! I’m really excited for this!
yayay very exited for this!! i hope everyone on the team is doing well
DRDT SPOILERS!!!! just in case
Theories about the description of this video, long rant of 1092 words
In [1] they're probably talking about Xander, since his actual name isn't Xander but instead Alexander so maybe that's what it's talking about?? idk I'm just guessing tbh
So all of the names mentioned in [2] it's a fruit fly and the last is a bacteria. There are like, 2 articles on the internet talking about how they've injected this bacteria onto this fly and, I'm gonna be honest here, english is not my first language and I don't know about science but, I think it basically said that the fly had a high tolerance to this antibiotic, and apart from that I do not know anything else, I'll try to investigate about this in another moment but I have to look over the rest atm so I'll do this later idk.
So the [3], the 17 title is all about copyright so my theory here is what if MonoTV/The Mastermind got a copyright strike? I KNOW this might be stupid but I think maybe it could be something like that? idk I'm becoming insane
[4] is basically describing what Tetraphobia is, which considering Hu is canonically chinese (I think? correct me if I'm wrong) maybe she sees a lil mark that is like "四" (that's the number 4 in chinese characters) and since the whole association with the number 4 and death maybe she realizes something and she tries to warn everyone about that?? Honestly I don't what that could be just yet but Imma be so proud if I predicted that.
For [5] I don't have a clue BUT i'm gonna do the biggest reach of my entire life, what if it's talking about the bible, I KNOW HOW STUPID THAT SOUNDS BUT HEAR ME OUT the bible was originally written in biblical aramaic, biblical hebrew and greek for the new testament (that's the info I got on google so it may be wrong but still) so of course there would be words that wouldn't be able to be translated SO WHAT IF IT'S THAT??? Now that I'm writing this I realiz how stupid this is BUT WHAT IF?? (Also what if it's something in a language the characters don't know and there's a translation but what if that's like, not accurate? like for a motive they have to figure out what it's actually talking about? no clue honestly, I'm looking too hard onto this, this may not even be anything about the series but lemme dream.
[6] uhhh... Prayer? idk but what if relates somehow to my last theory? apart from that I genuinely don't have nothing.
Again the references to mythology and religion in [7] I don't know what to say about this but it may be related to my theory in [5] I DONT KNOW IM SORRY.
[8] Is a quote said by Lewis Carroll in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass. No clue what this is supposed to reference and tbh I don't feel like we know yet, it'll have meaning in the future but I don't we can give it one now.
When I searched [9] on google, I saw a lot of Sydney Morning Herald pages showing up so that did NOT help, I don't know what you're talking about, what "classics"??? maybe a movie Veronika liked and someone didn't know it??/s but if thats the case /srs.
HEAR ME OUT... WHAT IF [10] HAS SMTH TO DO WITH THE CROSSES ON THE PORTRAITS??? DONT ASK BUT WHAT IF??? (I am stupid help me)
Ok so if [11] is talking about someone in the cast, what if its David the one saying that? he said he had a sister named Diana and if we look at the number of circles, it matches with the amount of letters Diana Chiem, there's like no other proof other than that that says what I'm saying is true but I think it's highly likely, and I don't think there's any other name that matches apart from David himself, but I don't think that would make any sense honestly, lemme know your thoughts.
Is [12] talking about Min and/or this chapter's killer? Like this seems to be very related to the killing game but also not? I don't know how to explain, its mainly the "That's why murderers never complained when we voted for them to die" that's throwing me off idk why (also majority rule YTTD reference haha)
[13] is the chinese term for "Good/Positive" or "Just/Straight" depending on the way you use it, and like in [4], Hu probably has something to do with this, and maybe Hu is more important to the lore than we think she is, maybe she ends up making it very far.
[14] I'm reaching a lot, but the only thing I can think of is that is smth to do with programming but other than that, I don't know.
Ok so what if [15] is someone telling Teruko to just, forget about the note that was send to Xander that said to kill Teruko and that she doesn't want to know who it was or why they send it? The reason why it says where it came from is unknown to me.
No clue on [16] but someone on the comment section (someone called SpotLane, if you scroll down you may see them) said it came from Entry of the Gladiators by Julius Fucik, but other than that, I have no clue.
[17] is a very interesting one honestly and I think it's going to be very important, however I'm pretty sure that it's not revelant as of now, BUT it'll be important later on
[18]........what? Ok now on all seriousness maybe is someone at a funeral with Xander and that person tries to draw flowers for them but maybe they did it badly or they don't know how to draw flowers? so Xander thinks that to himself to try and forget about his family's death (I'm assuming its his family from that incident that Xander mentioned in the extra episode) I THINK ITS GONNA BE SOMETHING SAD INVOLVING XANDER(or maybe Teruko) IDK WHAT BUT SMTH LIKE THAT FOR SURE
[19] is the definition of the dialogues between philosophers, LITERALLY ANY but the most popular one ones are the Socratic dialogue, i don't know much about it myself, I asked my sister who's currently studying this stuff but Idk shit about this
I don't know about the rest of them, but still we'll probably figure them out in the future, we just don't have enough information rn I think
I know the description probably isn't about the fangan but about the mv BUT IM DELUSIONAL LEAVE ME ALONE
THANK YOU FOR THIS😭😭😭🙏🙏💗💗
i looked some stuff up and i think number 14 relates to something in the mv being able to be decoded using a symmetric cipher, as 256 bits is a common key size
Hu got the “unlucky numbers”
I HOPE YOUR DOING BETTER DRDT DEV!!
HOPE EVERYONE ON THE DRDTTEAM IS FEELINGS GOOD
Am I the only one who noticed that at 3:44 text saying “chapter 3” appears right after David turns into a splatter of blood? I think David will actually die next chapter ngl or something bad will happen to him bc nobody likes him now
I SAW IT TOO
i think he might get attacked like teruko and ace
Do you think he might *try* to die in chapter 3 but it doesn’t work?
Omg This Comes Out On My Birthday
Happy early birthday 😍
@@Teruk.0ty
Happy early birthday 🎂💐 !
@@Mewo.Enjoyerthanks
HOPE UR FEELING BETTER THO DRDT DEV!!
i love references to japanese literature in this song sm
i think that red haired girl is named Mai Akusaki and she get killed by teruko and the motive that says "you killed someone" is teruko's motive. and she is xander's girl friend or something like that and she left behind a message to take revenge from teruko i think that's happened in one year before the killing game
I have a feeling the one about trying to commit suiside is Terukos. They know that “a failed hanging attempt is painful”, and just in general didn’t seem to enjoy life before the killing game.
