Never underestimate Junko...

Even upon being discovered by some of the others, I still find that she displays full confidence without fear. The torture cene though..they are pushing the limit a bit there.

I do like how thrilling this episode turned out especially with the mind games. Junko never cease to amuse me.

The teacher to the rescue before despair girl was going to use that video thing to control gamer girl. Or no... she decided to control the teacher instead. Gamer girl vs. guys who fought against the enemies about whether to save the teacher or not. lol~ that chubby guy revealed his true identity.

Wow, that's fast. The two guys already figured out the culprit = despair girl. Too late to save her, though. And Prep(?) students to the attack... Animator guy is in despair... Suwabe-san's character found her. So I was wondering why nurse girl is acting normal outside. She acted well. And the teacher acts normal for being controlled, too.

So despair can make people go at great lengths of inflincting pain upon themselves to the point where they can kill themselves in some impossible brutal fashion. I didn't want to believe it when I first read it, but maybe the attacker really do alternate in the Future arc, after all.

We can't deny there's a huge chance that Yukizome is involved in what's happening in the Future arc anymore. Nanami's fate is puzzling though. The obvious possibility would be for her to die. However, I'm still not sure who had the idea of putting a virtual version of her into the Neo-World Program of DR2. It would take a good knowledge of the class 77's dynamics before despair to think of this plan.

Mitarai is still being ambiguous. I guess we won't know what to think of him until his "breakthrough" episode.

Ok so here is a little summary of what did happen in this episode :

- Kamukura doesn't remember Nanami, Enoshima's joking about this anime not being a shojo.
- Yukizome-sensei saves Nanami & Komaeda from trouble.
- Ultimate Impostor reveals his true face and take Togami's voice back(this was hilarious tho xD)
- Both Tsumiki & Pekoyama return into the classroom, did Pekoyama fall into despair too ?
- Kazuichi carries an unconscious Komaeda on his back and the 77th class is searching for their sensei.
- Tanaka & Nidai both fight the mad reserve course students, gotta love how Kazuichi helps his rival getting some point for Sonia's love.
- Damn, that brutal scene with the Reserve Course student.
- Ikusaba is brainwashing Yukizome.. Did she fall into despair ?
- Mitarai runs away from Enoshima and is asking himself if he's doing the right thing. Will he get back to Enoshima and fall into despair too ?
- Sakakura begins to fight against Enoshima, so we'll probably get to see what did happen in mirai episode 8's flashback. (Anyway it's obvious he will fail)
- Tsumiki pushes Nanami into a secret passage and she meets up with the sensei, oh crap, she definitely fell into despair, she's acting suspicious soo..

I just still wonder if Nanami will die and, if she does, who will do the kill ?

I think the order in which the 77th class fall into despair is this one :

Tsumiki -> Pekoyama -> Yukizome -> Koizumi & Fuyuhiko ? -> Almost everyone -> Tanaka & Nidai -> Komaeda...

Oh crap, it doesn't matter actually.

Watching the raws...again D: IT IS OUT!!!11!!

- Chiaki asking about Hinata's hair made me giggle xD
- OMG CHISA'S STRIIIIIIIKE! WTF HAEUAHEUHEIUAEHIUAEH Dude, Junko is one strong bitch, she was totally okay after that XD
- About Tsumiki and Peko, I don't think Peko is already in despair. She probably lost to Mukuro and Mikan """helped""" her. (PekoxFuyuhiko is so cute man <3)
- "In despair's name they won't hesitate to destroy their own bodies" RIGHT KOMAEDA WINK WINK
- EWWWW That suicide was fucked up D:
- Ownnn Chiaki, I love her so much, man :(
-"I was testing you..." Yeah yeah right Komaeda. Go sit in the corner.
- OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THE IMPOSTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER *flips a hundred of tables* HE LOOKS LIKE JOHN TRAVOLTAAAAAAAAA LOL

- So, I don't know if I got that right, but Junko was a special case when she was admitted in the school. It seems she was not scouted like everybody else. She probably hacked her and Mukuro inside or something XD
- Clockwork orange reference!
- OMG EWWW THAT SCENE WAS MESSED UP! Chisa was brainwashed D: (and I couldn't watch that scene again)
- So, it seems some people are stronger than others. Chisa's brain had to be manipulated, but not Tsumiki.
- BLUE PEOPLE VS FULLY DESIGNED CHARACTERS GOOOO
- Gundam <3 <3 <3
- YEAH MITARAI YOU JUST PUT THE WHOLE WORLD IN DESPAIR BECAUSE YOU LIKED FREAKING ANIME! CHINESE CARTOON IS SERIOUS BSNZ MAN!
(There even some people who think they have better taste because they like no mainstream anime カッコ悪いでしょう pupupupupupu~~)
- Wooow, Sakakura VS Junko. He is going to lose somehow, because we saw that flashback. Maybe there is something to do with Chisa...?
- Even Kazuichi is team Sondan XD
- So, what Tsumiki did...or she was trying to help Chiaki (that way she won't see the video and has a chance to escape) or she was trying to get things even worse (probably this one xD).
- Chisa said that Izuru let her go, I don't trust her right now. Mukuro was the one who brainwashed her so MAYBE she is not entirely in despair and Izuru let her go because he thought it was too boring and wanted to make things more exciting..but, nah. I think she is lying ç-ç
THAT STRANGE SMILE
Ç-Ç

THE NAME OF THE EPISODE IS 'Chisa Yokizome doesn't smile"

F***!! This ep was f'd up. I cringed at the Chisa brainwashing scene. That was way too disturbing. Even more than the guy sawing his neck and the StuCo killings. WTF MUKURO!!! Poor Chisa D: Chisa shade in Mirai hen confirmed I guess
And dat sinister grin at the end. NANAMIIIII!!! If one thing I have to admit I'm glad that happened to Chisa not Chiaki. I would've honestly died if I saw Nanami suffering like that.

Didn't expect to see the imposter :O He looks kinda fabulous XD

JUZO vs JUNKO!!! RIP JUZO lol

Tanaka and Nidai staying to fight together was cool.

And poor Ryota. Wonder what he's gonna do

I have to say the torture scene was really disturbing and it's the first time I feel like the series has pushed the limit a bit too far. It felt even more horrifying (and sad) than the Mutual Killing of Episode 7 in my opinion.

Kamukura let Chisa escape? Two alternatives: Either that's bullshit and Chisa definitely is planning something evil, or Izuru truly is kind of a good guy... Unfortunately, I'll go with the first one.
And this episode made Yukizome even more suspicious for Future Side. There's no way she couldn't have resisted the brainwashing.

The entire Reserve Course is already under despair, and soon the entire 77th class will be. God, Junko truly is a piece of shit.

BTW, something interesting I noticed. In the opening Tanaka and Nidai don't appear to have red eyes like the rest of the class do, and in this episode we that they are not heading directly to Junko's base. Could it be that they never fall into despair like the rest of the class, or they'll just be eventually captured and brainwashed like the rest?

One thing is for sure, next episode everyone may finally become Ultimate Despair, and there will be no one left to trust.

P.S: The Imposter revealing his true identity was kind of hilarious lol

Yukizome had such a positive energy in the Despair arc, I wish they had broken her with more of a "dramatic" despair rather than this completely perverted/twisted way of mixing horrible visuals with orgasm-like stimulation - and those needles, that's just too much.

How despair-inducingly thrilling that was :3

That smile from Chisa at the end... literally the same as Junko. Well we all knew they were all fucked from the start given that it's a prequel, but I'm just curious to see exactly how it'll all play out in the end. Will Chisa kill off Chiaki on her own and then assist Tsumiki with locking the rest of the class in a room with Mirarai's video playing, or is there some other twist to come? I guess we'll find out next week.

Looking forward to The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History :>


PS: It's pretty refreshing seeing an anime where the bad guys actually win for once

Oh and I have to admit the suicide scene and Chisa's brainwashing scene were both pretty hard to watch really. Made me cringe quite a bit. Not that that's a bad thing per se, just... yeah :s

Oh My God, seriously? they going for Chisa betrayal/despair route?I thought there will be more twist in future arc...Really dont like where the plot goes but it looks Tengen answer and Munakata stabbing Chisa relates to this despair Chisa...... Goodbye Chiaki, the girl i love the most. But seriously Kodaka, are you really going for this route? It is basically the same shit as danganronpa 1. I really dont like the way it progresses in this episode. I thought Kodaka is going to make even more plot twist than this cliche route. I am really disappointed if Kodaka really go for this. "Chisa Yukizome doesnt smile" WTF? So, is this talking about pre despair Chisa or post despair Chisa

So they're going with the brainwashing route... *sigh*. Gotta say I'm disappointed, I was really always interested in how the class were brought to despair, thought it'd be clever, intricate and hard hitting as even the best people can be turned by despair. Not such a cheap, uninteresting and characterless thing such as brainwashing. Such a shame...

This episode was really despair inducing, in a way that it was pretty great regardless of how its going. It actually is starting to become more suspicious around Chisa, since she at the end of the episode smiled in a way that doesn't seem very normal. Her smile usually its normal and at the end it seemed more like an evil grin, which means that she got affected by the video that Ryota made. By the way there's someone that pointed this out, but what Mukuro did in this episode reminded me of one of the episodes of Hunter x Hunter with Pitou. Which in reality like holy shit the similarities at least for what I remember.

The fact that the characters are going to go and save Chisa was already a sign that their hope would pretty much be destroyed by despair, and Junko planned this up along the way which in all honesty I'm not even surprised, considering Junko is the one who has a lot of plans to back herself up in a way and while I hate her direction and her plans I do like how she plans them out beforehand, I can't hate her because she's just amazing.

The fact that also at the beginning of the episode she made fun of freaking Shoujo mangas got me laughing my ass off because usually these Shoujo demographics would have these type of lines during romances most of the time. It was really funny to see that at the very least.

Also, I did mentioned the scene where Chisa was getting brainwashed by the video, which I will point out that was kinda disturbing in some sense, but the more disturbing thing in here was the Reserve Student cutting his own throat off which unfortunately it was censored because "Thank you Japanese Industry for Censoring the Fun", but my god I felt the fucking disturbance on the manner. It made me lose my appetite when I saw that... and of course it was kinda creepy, I mean, Junko ordered the student to do that and he couldn't stop it because he has no will of his own body.

It's pretty clear that the people we saw around in the second half of the episode are Brain Washed too, or at least I can assume that's the case, I'm not sure. At least on Junko's side then I can assume those were brainwashed, which is clearly obvious.

I feel very bad for Ryota due to his talent which he wanted to use his anime for the better of the world, being used as a tool for the worse of the world. It just seems fucked up if you think about it that way, I mean in that case I feel bad for Ryota, as he didn't wanted any of this to happen, and he was forced to do this because if not then his friends would be in danger.

Speaking of "Ryota" the fact that the Imposter revealed his freaking face made me think of him in another light perspective wise Lol. I mean he still looks damn fine but holy cow man, you look nice with black hair :3

Also I wanna point this out as well um, if Peko was controlled by despair, as someone said previously on the forum, she wouldn't have said to the classmates to not go there because it's dangerous, she would have said the opposite which indeed would make things suspicious on the manner. So, I don't believe she's in despair. At least for me. Most likely she just got injured and beaten up by Mukuro, Mikan (which she was already controlled by despair) pretended to be fine so she pretty much took Peko towards the class just following Nanami and Komaeda.

I actually liked at least Nanami's development in this episode, I mean if you look at the first episode and then here, she seems very determined about wanting to save Chisa, despite the fact that going there would lead them to despair at the very least. But still, it was something.

Lastly I don't really like this but there is an issue with the pacing at the very least, between the issue where Juzo and Munakata are talking, where they found out about Junko being the one behind this. Did they cleared that up beforehand or not really? That's my question.

Aaaand another side note, Am I the only one who noticed that Nidai's bulge doesn't look normal compared to the game? Now it just seems like a big ball in the middle which distracted me in a bad way. Like seriously what the fuck?

Anyway, great episode as always.

P.S: Nagito while still talking about Hope and Despair thing speeches again, I still like it because at least he also seems determined to help the others... at least here.

For me, it's just too basic. I played DR2 and after the reveal I was SO interested in "how did these lovely people turn to despairs???" I was looking forward to seeing Junko manipulate them by taking advantage of emotions and mental states or something else. A machine doing it instantly removes any depth to it.

Q: How did they forsake themselves and resort to the ways of despair?

A: Machine did it.

From what I understood, she was the first one to report the first killing game. The first witness (is that the word? @-@). They suspected her and investigated and everything was pointed to her being the mastermind...Something like this.

Eh I can actually understand in some way, of course for me I just found it pretty nice so, even if it wasn't in depth I guess the way she just did it to get that idea was kinda nice.

Witness would be a nice word to put it in that case, but I guess my problem was that couldn't they at least show case a bit of the investigation part? I guess that's just a bit of an issue from the episode. At least for me.

Question: We all should know by the flashback in Side:Future that Junko trashes Juzo, but how exactly? Izuru is at the basement place and Mukuro too. Weird.

I'm really starting to think the theory about the TV in Side:Future is true, but I'm just missing something. Would Ryota really be despair?

Also good theory I saw on reddit was Munakatana personally recruited Seiko and helped her because he needed her to cure Chisa of despair? or something similar to that

Chisa is dead though and don't see her coming back in the future arc.

I don't see Chiaki dieing either if Junko wanted her dead she would have died already.

My theory that Chiaki is becoming a despair and this episode is further making me believe that I think she and Chisa are going to be ones behind the Future arc events.

Remember future arc teased Hinata/Izuru a few episodes ago so he is going to appear eventually in the future arc and was questioning why he would appear but if it's to try and save Chiaki from despair now that he has regain himself it kind of makes sense.

how many number of ways to induce despair did Junko claim she knew? like 7k?

right, right.

She about as fake as she looks, this messy bitch

Also im tired of this despair, its just a code name for "do whatever the fuck at any time" right now.

Also, i thought this show was suppose to be a 12 episode show but the 12th episode is just a special one and the real story is 11?

I see a lot of people discussing Yukizome's "smile" at the end of the episode to assert whether or not she's suspicious, but what she said should be enough.
She basically told Nanami that Izuru just let her go and that he's not their enemy. No mention of Junko's whereabouts or any of the torture she has been through, not even a sign of emotional stress. More importantly, she invites Nanami to come save the class with her, like "let's throw ourselves to the wolves!" when the real Yukizome would go alone and urge Nanami to leave and stay safe.

I see a lot of people discussing Yukizome's "smile" at the end of the episode to assert whether or not she's suspicious, but what she said should be enough.
She basically told Nanami that Izuru just let her go and that he's not their enemy. No mention of Junko's whereabouts or any of the torture she has been through, not even a sign of emotional stress. More importantly, she invites Nanami to come save the class with her, like "let's throw ourselves to the wolves!" when the real Yukizome would go alone and urge Nanami to leave and stay safe.


Of course I'm just assuming that she has been taken over or brainwashed, turning into despair herself at the very least. Like she said that Izuru saved her which it may be the case since after she was like, "knocked out" Izuru just looked at her and it seemed like that, but the fact that she was just smiling like that and, not to mention that she just never mentioned anything about the torture or anything, hence basically yeah as you said, shes just throwing them into that end.

By the way the Opening kinda changed a bit for Chisa's end at least for me honestly. In terms of color, I may be wrong?

@TheLittleRedHero Oh I see, yeah. It was kinda rushed, unfortunately :S


Unfortunately yeah, but it really doesn't stop me from enjoying the series at least. I personally still think Despair Arc is good, its just the pacing in some few cases were bugging me.


Me too! Unfortunately it is a bit rushed, but it is being really enjoyable overall, at least for me. :D

Well for me as well, so no worries on that. The complaints are kinda minor for me but it's good enough :3

omfg this show is way too much for my heart.
that brainwashing scene was tough to watch and now, after this episode, i have a feeling that i was right in saying before that Chisa + Chiaki became the SHSL Despairs responsible for Mirai-hen events. either that, or Chiaki dies before becoming one and it's just Chisa, but it's definitely Chisa cuz that Junko smile makes it obvious. stay safe Chiaki ;_;

i suspected her involvement from the beginning and finally looks like my theory about her being much more important to the Mirai-hen storyline has some footing. really her "death" reminded me of Mukuro's in DR1. ugh only 3 more episodes of both arcs. i wonder how we're finally gonna get the reveal and what gigantic plot twist we'll be seeing soon in Mirai >_<

The imposter shows his true self, finally. XD

Anyways, once again, Junko and Mukuro shows how brutal as hell they both are. Seeing that one student commit suicide in front of them and Chisa suffering even more due to Mukuro was pretty painful. Poor Mitirai. I felt sorry for him. In any case, I want to see how this fight will go with Juzo against Junko (though we know he'll lose, what with the Danganronpa Future side episode I think 8 showing us that).

And geez, Tsumiki punches hard. Knocked Chiaki to another room. That was kind of funny. XD Oh wait. Watching that again, I just realized she pushed her. My mistake there. Thought she really punched her at first. lol But yes, something seriously went wrong with Chisa, here. That smile is not pretty. Is this a hint for the upcoming episode/s of the Future side? And I do wonder if Chiaki will be alright (not likely).
