| Damn, that was an intense episode. I loved it. Gotta love insane Mikan, though. So excited to see how things will go from here and the climax. |
  |
| Such a good episode, really ramping up the despair. Love masochistic Mikan. Although how is it that Nagito knew that Junko was trying to create despair, did he just work it out somehow with his luck? |

Guess next episode we are going to see the answers for that. But, he knew too much for someone who as stuck in an island in the middle of nowhere :S I mean, how he knew about human experimentation, or Junko or Mukuro? |
 |
| If you don't think Nagito "Revolver Hopealot/Hopeman" Komaeda is the best character in the series after seeing this episode, there is something wrong with you. http://i.4cdn.org/v/1472767639262.webm |
| I thought it was a fantastic little episode. The standoff between Junko and Komaeda was amazing. I see them as two sides of the same coin so i enjoyed watching them stand together and talk ideals. Now I just need Naegi to talk to both of them. I do not think that when they created Danganrona 2 goodbye despair, they knew they would have this anime one day. Therefore, I always thought that chapter 0 was there to fill in plot consistences in the game. In Ultra Despair Girls, I always thought it was implied that Izuru was Komaeda's partner. In the scene where Komaeda talks to Toko and Komaru, he tells them that he has a partner but does not know what they are planning. Since Izuru is the only other despair we see, I always assumed they were together. So I loved the moment between Izuru and Komaeda. |

| This just keeps getting good. <3 Hinata/Izuru and Nanami finally meet. Pretty sure she recognizes him. I wonder what would happen next. Already using Tsumiki's personality towards their own advantage? Junko works fast. Though Komaeda works fast as well, quickly setting up counters against Junko after being lucky enough to already figure what the person behind this is probably doing, leading to Pekoyama and Mukuro fighting (pretty sure Pekoyama will either lose or it will be some kind of draw/forfeit) amd the gun he somehow found already against her (the crazy cool bastard. <3). But poor Komaeda, nonetheless, not only as his bad luck came into effect with the gun being jammed and he being shot (but his good luck saved him from fatal wounds. lol), but he is once again unwanted compared to everyone else, as they are focusing more on Tsumiki being missing than him. lol But now the teacher comes. Dear guy just can't get a break. His life must be full of wonders. lol This episode pretty much got rid of the assumption from me that Mitarai is possibly the mastermind, unless there's another surprise coming along (which probably there is, since this is Danganronpa and all). |
 |
| The whole "but nagito met izuru before" can be solved by him not remembering what just happened I guess. |
| Mikan has already gone full despair mode off screen wtf Izuru and Nagito have met before? Did they both completely forget each other? I really hope this gets addressed. That ending has me scared for the next episode. Seems like she's going to end up dying next episode.  |
 |
| the protests are getting intenser |
 |
| Things are getting better and It was nice seeing Komaeda again even tho I was kinda confused when he met Izuru since they first met in chapter 0 in the SDR2, but it could also be because he has Dementia. Good episode overall =) |

Phendrus said: BluexMage said: Since Junko failed with Mikan, she shouldn't have been able to brainwash the Student Council so easily which makes the last Despair episode beyond stupid with people becoming LITERAL psychos in 2 minutes... What the actual fuck? Junko didn't brainwash anybody on the student council. She essentially did the same thing she did in the first game: Locked people in the school, told them to kill each other, and gave them a ton of motives to do so. She just accelerated the process in her "beta test" by having Mukuro hurry things along. Once one person (the girl who saw her mother was a hostage) snapped, total panic ensued. After they saw a friend murder another friend, many of them came to the conclusion that they couldn't trust anyone not to do the same to them. Survival instincts, every-man-for-himself mentality, and "OMG GET ME OUT OF THIS MAD HOUSE!" syndrome took over, and the rest is history. If you still aren't convinced, the footage Junko used to brainwash Mikan came from the Student Council Killing Game. She couldn't have used footage of the council's own deaths to brainwash them before the deaths actually happened. Exactly. I don't understand how someone could not understand this unless they were half paying attention to the last episode... |

| I like the fact that Chiaki Nanami appreciates Nagito Komaeda's return by accompanying him to find Mikan Tsumiki together while the others were trying to watch their distance from him. Eventhough im not a fan of Komaeda, seeing him getting cold welcome was too sad :( |
| This episode was THE BEST. Holy shit, Zet-hen is totally giving us the ZETSUBOU that we wanted to get. Sakakura and the security giving punchs and kicks against the reserve course students was funny, and MY BOY KOMAEDA IS BACK. <3 And again he shows that no one fucks around with hope, hnf. Peko fighting Mukuro was EPIC, and Komaeda threatening Junko too @_@ Even if we already knew that Ryota would escape, still I was on the edge when Mikan and Junko started to talk like that with him ;W; I''M SO HAPPY THAT HE'S FINE NOW Ç_Ç And now Chisa is going to save her students ;w; But I know that something VERY wrong is going to happen, and probably we will get the flashback scene of Sakakura from Mirai-hen in the next episode of Zet-hen. The cameo of Yasuke was priceless too >___< I want to see Ryoko animated too ;-; And Munakata... I feel bad for him, he was actually interesting when he didn't became Raiden from MGS. 6/5. IMPOSTER IS TOO GOOD FOR THIS WORLD TOO. Also Chiaki will die in the next episode, I think. ;_; Izuru never fails to amaze me with that l'oreal hair of him. |
 |
| Nice to see Komaeda back. Lol at him seeing Saionji. His luck trait is far too overpowered, plot wise, but not as much as Izuru's it seems. Curious as to how Yukizome gets through this. I mean she makes it seem as if she won't be getting out of this despite the other anime proving she lives for a while longer.... unless everything in the other anime is just an illusion cause the scene in the very beginning of this series in Ep1 with her watching the so call Mirai-hen anime and she actually dies in this one. Now that would be a plot twist. |

It makes sense imo so. Yeah, I think it is one of the consequences of dementia. It would make sense then :D |
|
| aw people already pointed out the puzzle guess i wasn't reading into it to much after all nice episode not to sure about the whole Nagito meets Izuru even though tension was still high i'm fearing what happens next already lost Mikan to Junko |
 |
| Hopeman is fucking crazy lol. How does he know about Junko and Mukuro anyway? I can't believe he have a fucking gun and ready to shoot a bitch. Komaeda's Luck VS Izuru's Luck, that's two people with plot armor trying to kill each other lol. |
| Man, Junko is better and better while the episodes goes. Nagito points an gun to her and she don't care at all. Mikan being the first is too obvious. She's the most broken and tragic character from 77th. But I really don't like the fact that Junko uses a video to turn her into despair. It's pretty lame. But Mikan as despair is aweeeeeeesome lol Mukuro vs Peko was great but at the same time, it seems that they make Mukuro weaker when they fight. But Mukuro was pretty great too. Nagito knowing Junko, Mukuro, the local where the sisters are, the plans and everything is totally bullshit. He isn't in school for months and know everything that no one knows? I don't buy this, at least until they provide a very good explanation for this. |
brzzcodeSep 1, 2016 7:11 PM
| And so the plot thickens even further. Is it crazy that I am enjoying the Despair Arc more than the Future Arc so far? I'm enjoying both of them, to be honest, but this has more things going on, to me (plus my bias towards Junko, Mukuro, Izuru, and Komaeda). On a side note, Gundam with his little army of hamsters... it's just so adorable yet funny. |

| Nagito gets lucky too much. I get that that's his talent, and it's kinda lulzy, but in the game he had a personality too. Here it felt like luckluckluckluckluck single sentence of hope luckluckluck. Flanderization much? |
 Basically everyone (including me) right now. |

My friend actually went crazy when he saw that ending Lol. He was getting worried xD |

It's pretty lame. But Mikan as despair is aweeeeeeesome lol Me too man. I find it as a lazy way to turn her into despair and it was done offscreen as well. I hope this is an isolated case as Mikan was already broken inside. Hopefully Junko will do something epic to turn the rest of DR2 cast because my expectation is quite high. |
An understandable response. Maybe we will get a bigger explanation, but it seems that we're moving on from that already, so I assume that that's as good as we can get. lol BumperBo said: Nagito gets lucky too much. In the bad ways too though, seeing as what happened that got him out of school for a while before, and in here, since his gun got jammed suddenly and he nearly got killed (but thanks to good luck on his side lol, what could have been never occurred). BumperBo said: I get that that's his talent, and it's kinda lulzy, but in the game he had a personality too. Here it felt like luckluckluckluckluck single sentence of hope luckluckluck. Flanderization much? Well, there's a reason why people often get sick of him in the anime and games. XD I don't really find him that much different here than he was in the games (albeit a bit less crazy). The only difference so far to me is that, while here, he rambles more about luck, while in the games, he rambles more about hope and despair. |
AlliedWishesSep 1, 2016 8:33 PM
| It's so despairing that I have to wait for next week. Then again, that fucking Nagito's luck can't be totally underestimated LOL. |
 |
| Meh Izuru meets Komaeda? Too much fanservice for me. We know from DR2 Chapter 0 that they never met each other. Plothole i guess. Overaall pretty tense episode. Nice Matsuda cameo and hint for more Zero stuff. Somewhat hyped for the next episode and how Nanami will die or die at all. Because at this point she is still not in the NWP and if she dies there is no AI. |
Danganronpa has always been about doing things in a crazy way. Junko's base could have just been an apartment off campus and not a crazy secret underground lair, but that's not the Danganrompa experience. Questioning Nagito's luck is like questioning how Monica as a child can make hyper advanced robotics or how Chihiro can make hyper advanced programs like the Neo World Program. Or how Mitarai can create anime solo that can completely control minds. Or how the Ultimate Impostor can completely fool everyone without question. That's just Danganronpa man, it has it's own style in the way it does things. And I love it. MonoReaper said: Meh Izuru meets Komaeda? Too much fanservice for me.

And with the shock of being shot and inevitably being mind controlled into insanity its a stretch to call it a "plothole" that Nagito wouldn't remember him. And Nagito still doesn't know who he is. |

| Insanely good episode, probably the best so far overall. On another note, could they not just let Izuru do the anime instead of Mitarai? He should have that talent too anyway and it would have spared them wasting time on Mitarai and threatening him into working, lol. |

I might be asking a stupid question here, but isn't the entire meetup with Nagito and Izuru AFTER the events? I don't think Nagito would have Junko's hand if in here at the moment she's still alive. Which makes more sense when I think about it. And yeah, Nagito doesn't really know who Izuru is yet. Ya, they meet on the boat on the trip to Jabberwalk island when they are being sent there to be rehabilitated. I'm pretty sure that's like a year from now. Him forgetting Izuru in that time isnt hard to believe. Last_Crest said: Insanely good episode, probably the best so far overall.

I doubt Izuru would do it, he has little interest in anything right now. He would say it's just a bother. |

| Than explain to me guys why IZURU on the boat in chapter 0 ALSO didnt know him! Dont force a meetingb between two characters for the sake of fanservice. The problem in this episode is Komaeda was some kind of mary sue in this episode. Knew Junkos plan and everything about her secret base. Knew Mukuro and did block her with our savage swordswoman. He knew everything even if he was away so long and somehwere in a desert?!? There was no explanation for his knowledge and than they fucked with the canon timeline to force a Izuru & Komaeda meeting. Heck even in UDGs they never met each other and Izuru only watched him from a far distance. But Komaeda never solved the identiy of the intruder that was Izuru in towa city at that time. You can do this stuff with non canon extra event like in the games. But to force a meeting between them for the sake of fanservice if in the canon games Komaeda didt know him on the boat + IZURU ALSO DIDNT KNEW ABOUT HIM. Yeah he was bored of him because of his Talent but they never meet each other before. That`s a plothole. Or can you explain how Izuru also didnt knew about Komaeda on the boat. It`s a plothole for the sake of fanservice and that was the biggest minus in the episode. They could explained it if they even showed us what Nagito did in the enitre time. But we have no explaination how he knew everything even if he was far far away from Japan. Also 2 guys trying to kill each other with plotarmor Kodaka pls. |
| oh awesome, we see a glimpse of matsuda, i wonder if they're going to show more of him later. how fitting that i started reading DR0 again yesterday :p and damn, looks like chiaki recognized izuru/hinata :o i wonder how they're going to explain the komaeda/izuru meeting though. |
 |
| i have the biggest despair-boner happening right now... Mikan <3 that Peko and Mukoro fight<3 Junko <3 and can i just post this scene one more time. its when HopeMan uses his SHSL Bullshit again http://i.4cdn.org/v/1472767639262.webm the scene made me laugh more than anything. |

| Chiaki, Komaeda and Izuru in a single room. HOLY SHIT. Now the fact that komaeda met Izuru here is werid. Though for now I'll take this as a hint for final twist like what Danganropna games always do. |
| Man,I want to watch Mukuro vs Peko more. Izuru is epic. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Been so desperate for any kind of interaction whatsoever between our two despaired hopes, so i don't care about plot holes. DR3 can explain it away later. For now, THANK YOU, KODAKA. \o/ Suzune-chan said: Freaking hell. I didn't know how badly I needed this, but if this is true that'd be brilliant. It always seemed suspect that Izuru happened to be in Towa City at just the right time (Though that could be his Luck as well, depending on how OP it is).I thought it was a fantastic little episode. The standoff between Junko and Komaeda was amazing. I see them as two sides of the same coin so i enjoyed watching them stand together and talk ideals. Now I just need Naegi to talk to both of them.

Since Izuru is the only other despair we see, I always assumed they were together. So I loved the moment between Izuru and Komaeda. But how would that work with Chapter 0? Do FTDementia patients suffer from temporary episodes of memory loss? Like, Komaeda forgets he knows Izuru in the midst of an episode, and Izuru is like, "Not this boring shit again," and pretends for his sake? |
 |
| omfg amazing episode. komeada and izuru ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |
| that Izuru vs Komaeda thing was epic af. both of em are too op for this world. and omg crazy Mikan is kinda hot-ish but freaky all at the same time o_o and ahhhh i'm so scared for Nanami someone please protect the precious angel ;~; |
| So, the most expected way this'll go: Chiaki dies. Yukizome gets Ryota out of there. The video gets used to turn the class into ultimate despair. Munakata and Juzo fight them and lose. Without dying. The ultimate despair goes out to prep for the destruction while Junko go does what happends in Zero. Of course I say 'most expected' because the chance it'll go differendly. Danganronpa has always been good at throwing curveballs. To be honest, a LOT of differend things could be happening. Chiaki, Ryota or Chisa becomming ultimate despair, the Mirai side could be set up or a VR, Someone who seems dead is alive in mirai, something will be revealed in despair can change everything. There's a LOT of potential, but maybe there not being a twist is a twist on itself. This is both hopeful and despair inducing at the same time.. Ooooh.. |
| Too much salt can ruin even the best of meals. |
| WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO THE END I AM NOT READY !! Dx |
| Phew... I thought Nanami is going to die in this episode... |
Shirobako is AOTY 2015. Deal with it. |

Why would he forget Izuru "again"!!!! if he was his partner in UDGs. This is just sad to see such a plothole from Kodaka for the sake of Fanservice. That is just not the writing level of Kodaka as we know. The only Plothole so far in the entire DR universe was the Junko GOO thingy. And now we can add that whole Komaeda shit to this. I really like Komaeda but for the sake of fanservice fukcing with a character and the canon timeline is just sad. PS: It is unlikely that Izuru was Komaedas partner. Because at some point in the game there is a report that a intruder showed up in the city (that is Izuru) and they never found out who it was. Even Komaeda had no clue and never solved this case. It was also implied that Monaca was his partner and Izuru never showed himself during the whole event in UDGs. His goal was the Junko AI in Kurokumas & Shirokumas head. |
