Spoilers for Ch2-14 of Danganronpa Despair Time

I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE MAIN SUSPECT YEAAAAAAH

I GOT LIKE 8 COMMENTS SAYING I WAS WRONG BUT I PERSEVERED AND I WAS RIIIIGHT

(Yes i became active again just to talk about this, im so proud of me)

In defense of Levi Fontana (SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 2!!)

A very popular theory going around is that Levi is the chapter 2 killer. This is mainly because he is one of the few who hasn't had a secret revealed yet, and he's had relevance with Ace in this chapter.

The only secrets that haven't been revealed thus far are Levis, Veronikas, and Hus (I'm pretty sure but I could be wrong). Due to Hu having recent relevance and Veronika not having lived her full potential yet, Levi is the prime suspect. But I stand here today in defense of him.

I don't think Levi Fontana is the killer, I don't think he was even involved in the case besides a minor interaction with the true killer. Here I will discuss why it wasn't Levi, and who I think the culprit is

How do we know Levi is innocent

Its hard to know for sure if Levi is 100% innocent, but if he's the culprit, he got god damn lucky. Let me run through my thought process.

Arei was hung with her own weapon, the rope that referenced her whole birthday trauma (for those who forgot, Arei was given ropes on her birthday, people told her to hang herself)

This was only ever discussed that one time in the dining hall, and let me provide a screenshot on who all was in there

4 people were not present in the dining hall at this time, the 4 were...

David

Hu

Rose

Levi

Meaning, these 4 would have no idea about the significance of Areis rope. But I'll admit this reasoning is shaky. There's no proof that the culprit even knew, and even if they did, Arei could've admitted it at some other point off screen to them.

So that means Levi is still a suspect, right? Wrong.

I have more proof that proves Levi innocent

We all know at this point that the murder method was hanging. Due to Areis broken neck, it's hard to imagine anything else being the cause of death (I'm not gonna get too far into the murder method here)

However, this method would be highly unnecessary for Levi. The creator confirmed that Levi is the strongest person among the cast in the chapter 2 part 1 ask box

He could've easily gone for something simpler, like blunt force trauma. The more steps you put into a plan, the more chances it has to mess up afterall. But he didnt.

The culprit instead chose an intricate way of killing Arei, a way that could be easily avoidable if your as strong as Levi.

Anyone else would need this method because Arei is imaginably quite athletic, due to being a bowler. It isn't immediately clear if Arei is stronger then anyone else except Levi.

He could've just invited her to the playground and whacked her over the head with a dumbell, but instead, there was a much more thought out plan done, why?

Simple, because Levi is not the culprit.

Still not convinced? I have one more piece of proof

The grippy tape

Incase you aren't aware, I'll go over what was found during this scene.

While Teruko is investigating, you can clearly see the tape at the scene

Its in the middle of the box, but you can see it through the text box too

But as soon as Ace wakes up, the tape disappears

But you might be asking, how does this relate to Levi? He wasn't even in the room and we don't know if this was the tape the culprit used

Except we do know that this is the tape the culprit used. The proof is in the scene between Teruko, Arei, and MonoTV

MonoTV didn't want Arei throwing the rope out, because it'd be "such a waste"

So if the tape wasn't taken by someone intending murder, MonoTV would've likely brought it back or even replaced it being as careful with inventory as be is (due to budget)

But he didnt

If it wasn't being used for a murder, MonoTV wouldn't have wanted it to go to waste, therefore it would've still been there.

But it isn't, which means the tape that was at Aces murder scene was the one used in Areis murder.

And that in turn proves Levis innocence, because he was in his room at the time of Nicos attempted murder against Ace. He couldn't have taken the tape.

...so who did?

The true culprit

The tape was taken at Aces crime scene, which means the 4 people there are our prime suspects

Teruko

Eden

Nico

Ace

One of those 4 had to have been the one to take the tape and kill Arei, but which one? We can figure it out by process of elimination

First off, we can rule out Nico pretty easily. They left almost immediately after Teruko and Eden walked in, and the roll of tape was still there after they left

That leaves 3 suspects, and I think I know how to prove 2 of the 3 innocent

Rule 10 states the BDA will not play until 3 people who didn't witness the murder find the body.

Now, without knowing the murder method, it's pretty clear the killer could've just looked away and not looked at the murder by technicality.

But, Eden was already framed by the note, and showed that it wasn't in her handwriting, why would she change her handwriting just to frame herself?

So that leaves 2, and this wasn't Teruko since she's the god damn protagonist, but if you need proof, she doesn't even know what her secret is, and wasn't paranoid enough to kill for it by any means.

So that leaves one suspicious individual

Ace Markey.

Why the culprit is Ace

I have multiple reasons for suspecting Ace, even beyond process of elimination.

Starting off, the tape disappeared right after he woke up, it's a weird detail to include, especially seeing as Eden got knocked over, and (once again) Teruko is the protagonist and wouldn't have taken it. So it only could've been Ace.

But is there proof of Ace taking the tape? We didn't see him take it, so it could've easily been Teruko despite her being the protagonist.

Yes, yes there is, and it comes right after they leave the gym

Ace refuses help to heal his wound from Levi, Eden, and Teruko.

One would think this could just be Ace being his Ace self, but I disagree.

I think Ace didn't accept help because he didn't want them to find the tape on his person. Granted, there'd be no reason for them to search his pockets, but Ace has always been a paranoid person, I doubt he'd want to take that risk.

If he didn't have tape, I bet he would accept help from atleast Eden. He may be obnoxious but he's not an idiot (when it comes to self preservation)

So if Ace had the grippy tape, and the culprit had the grippy tape. That means Ace is the culprit.

But I still have more pointing to Ace

Recall back to episode 2 of chapter 2

Ace took the band used for physical therapy, look at the width of that band

It sort of matches the width of the marks on Areis wrists, almost as if that's what she was restrained with.

And even besides both of those points

Ace offered to protect the body first, he could've very easily manipulated something with it

These could both be seen as coincidences (especially the guard duty one), but when you add the grippy tape point to it, the coincidences start to put together a scary picture

I have one more piece of evidence pointing towards Ace as the culprit, the motive.

I don't mean this in a bad way for anything, but an eating disorder isn't a secret to kill for.

Dont get me wrong, eating disorders are serious issues and deserve to be taken extremely seriously, but I don't think it's worth risking your own life and attempting to kill everyone else in your proximity over (I really hope this doesn't sound insensitive!)

But a big point of this motive is that; the cast didn't know what their secrets are

Ace was a paranoid person to begin with, and with secrets being revealed, he likely thought the worst out of the situation, thinking his life would be ruined if his secret was revealed

But why? If his darkest secret is his eating disorder, how could that ruin his life?

2 points help me explain that thought process

First off, once again, Ace had no idea what his secret was

And second off, he didnt even know if he remembered his own secret.

It's already a fact that the cast lost alot of memories, that was confirmed way in the beginning. But it was confirmed that the cast doesn't need to remember their secrets

Ace likely thought he could've forgotten something horrible about himself, and killed to prevent it from getting out

Conclusion

In conclusion, Levi Fontana is not the killer, there were aspects of this crime unnecessary and unavailable to him. However completely avaliable to Ace, and with everything stacking up, it's safe to assume he's the culprit

This is my first time writing a big thing like this, so if you have any questions or critiques, I'd be happy to answer!!

Who's the best date material out of the DRDT cast (Round 2)

So round 1 of the polls ended today, and it ended with our winner being Rose Lacroix, with 40% of the vote!

Second place went to J with 30%

And David & Arturo tied for last, both with 15%

We're moving onto round 2 now!

Incase you weren't here for round 1, I'll explain this experiment again! This is a poll for who would give you the best time during a date! Not a relationship, just one date!

The poll goes on for a week 4 times, then the 4 winners face off at the end!

Without further ado, let's move onto round 2!

[iamatrashbag]

It'd be kinda silly if I did a little danganronpa story project on here

Like.. sorta like instaronpas on Instagram, but just on here

I have a general story I could tell, and I know how it could go, so... yipee!!! (I'll probably make a separate blog for it)

[iamatrashbag]

Im so famous even though I just downloaded tumblr, I'm just on that grind (I have 5 followers, I am not on that grind)

[iamatrashbag]

here's the template I used the other day for anyone that wants it

[iamatrashbag]

Who's the best date material out of the DRDT cast (Round 1)

Hey all, little experiment I felt like doing

Out of the Danganronpa Despair Time Cast, who is the best date material? I'm not talking like, a long and healthy relationship, I'm talking who could you take out and be given the best time with

This will work in 5 rounds, so the 4 winners of rounds 1 to 4 will face off in round 5

Round 2 will be in a week after the poll is done

Repost if you can so i can get accurate results!!!

[iamatrashbag]

Guys I just figured out you can change text colors

Shits craaaaazy

[iamatrashbag]

angsty drdt headcanons

I felt like writing angsty shit, so here's angsty shit!! (Probably won't cover every character)

Charles: Charles has dreams of memories with his brother, but it's always a blur. He still can't remember his face

Nico: Nico does regret what they did to Ace, but not because they feel bad for Ace, but because if it was anyone else they would never think to do it

Min: Min has alot of pain in her hands due to using them constantly for school work (the pain of papercuts is numbed)

Arturo: He secretly does feel like he's being cruel sometimes, but he can't find it in himself to care.

Whit: Whit is depressed and feels as though nothing he does has value, but he hides this by overcompensating

That's all I got for you

[iamatrashbag]

DRDT Holiday headcanons

Hey all, something I don't see enough of is headcanons revolving around holidays for the drdt cast. So here's some Christmas headcanons

If this is well liked, I'll make Halloween ones

Teruko: Teruko is banned from helping set up the Christmas tree, due to having 3 burn down in total while she was helping. She does give Eden ornaments she wants on the tree though

David: Christmas is his least favorite part of the year, since he has to act even more jolly then he usually does. He also tends to have to go caroling (he sings tenor 2). All of this is forced upon him by his manager

Eden: Eden bakes cookies for the entire cast, and is the ringleader of the casts Christmas party. She has the most Christmas decorations out of anyone in her neighborhood, so they tend to hold it at her house

Hu: Hu usually goes caroling (with a different group from David). She is the highest singer in her acapella group, and is ALMOST the loudest.

Nico: They have a pet stocking for Tractor, and goes on a shopping hunt for as many cat toys or treats as they can possibly find.

Rose: Rose decorates around Edens house with mistletoes, not realizing what they mean

J: J, (while putting up lights), takes down the mistletoes very carefully

Charles: Charles prefers to just sit by the fire with a nice cup of hot cocoa, he isn't all for a excitable Christmas party. He'll go for like an hour if Whit goes, but once things get crazy he leaves.

Whit: He spikes the eggnog.

Arei: She tries to convince everyone to distribute presents via a White Elephant so she can rig it to get the best gift. This works

Min: Is the type of person to get you a cool shirt for Christmas

Arturo: He refuses to get anyone a gift besides J (its a really fancy dress that likely costed atleast 1000$)

Veronika: Hides all the presents before anyone wakes up to make opening them more interesting

Ace: Believes in Santa Claus

Levi: Dresses up as Santa Claus for a mall

Xander: Once he figures out the eggnog is spiked, he spends the rest of Christmas Eve trying (and failing) to find the culprit

I know it's not Christmas, but it's my favorite holiday so I made headcanons for it. If this post gains enough traction I'll make one for halloween!!

[iamatrashbag]

felt like making a silly goofy whit sprite edit with his hair undyed

it's kinda silly funny, this was just an excuse to post
