(again, DRV3 spoilers under the cut, which probably won’t appear if you’re on mobile because it’s garbage.)

Apparently in the investigation Iruma called Saihara "ショボ探偵". I have no idea what that means. Man, I can't imagine listening to that creepy song at 3AM. You're brave. Yumeno's also started calling Tenko by her first name, the first instance of which I could find was right after the candles were relighted. Too bad Tenko's already dead :/

Hmm, the only thing I can think of is that it might be something like “shabby(/dull) detective”, which is way less rude than what she said in English. Interesting! Thanks for sharing. :D

I’m not really that brave! I work 3rd shift, so I’m pretty much always awake at 3 AM doing whatever anyway. :)

Aww, I was wondering about that. I did hear her call her Tenko when she ran to lift the cage and I assumed she hadn’t been calling her that before, but I wasn’t sure. But yeah, she’s already dead, so Tenko can’t really appreciate the change...

I remember seriously thinking it'd be a three-victim chapter when that "It's a lie!" moment happened. I'm sad the students apparently didn't care that he was bleeding out and probably concussed... someone help this boy Chapter 3 introduced such an interesting rule with the "only the first murderer counts as the blackened" thing, but they didn't use it after all... Imagine the possibilities if they discovered two culprits in the trial! It's such a waste.

Yeah, I thought one of them would at least ask if he was okay? But no one even cared...

It is an interesting rule! And a waste, like you said, since there was just the one murder.

Oh, the rock thing at this point is a bit funny in Japanese. But it might be spoilery if you haven't completely guessed what its message is yet. Also, Ouma uses 好きになった人 in the salon. I'm bad at identifying nuances in Japanese, but I think most people have taken it as a confession there. What do you think?

I just saw the whole message in English (unless there’s more to it after the end of Chapter 4), so I’d be interested in seeing the Japanese version if it’s not too much of a hassle for you! :o

I can definitely see how people would take that as a confession, since they could have easily used different phrasing to avoid any kind of romantic interpretation there. :/a I’d say it’s ambiguous and could be interpreted either way, maybe? But my opinion on that could change.

Now that it’s July 20, it’s time to wish a very Happy Birthday to none other than Ringo Ouma! In celebration, have a detailed, official bio of our good little gremlin! This will be info pertinent to the killing game he’ll be a part of…

—–

Height: 137cm (4’6)

Weight: 40kg

Chest: 67cm

Appearance: Ringo is a boy of tiny stature with pale skin and large brown eyes.  His maroon hair is messy, strands curling out at all angles to give him a disheveled, almost bedhead-like look. 

His clothes are flashy, consisting of a black, cowlneck shirt with checkerboard-patterned cuffs that fasten off just below his elbow. A red vest with three gold buttons is worn over this shirt. He wears white slacks tucked into black boots with many buckles and straps to accent them- and his signature accessory is a checkerboard fascinator with red trim, off-center to the left side of his head. This is held on by a black headband.

Personality: Ringo Ouma is an enigma, in many senses of the word. His mischievous tendencies are the first apparent part of his nature that people see, coupled with snide jabs to others and sly remarks that can easily pass off as simply trying to mess with others. He hides behind a harmless appearance, favoring to cause trouble through mind games and taunting rather than physically screwing with others.

Past the chaotic personality, he’s actually well-attuned to others moods and mindsets. Using games of technique as a cover to gain insight on his peers, he studies their playstyle and translates it to how they think and react. He seems near-obsessed with knowing the people around him completely, and one of the few things that can stress him is people not reacting accordingly. Whether this is because he views people as playthings that he should be able to manipulate, or for some other reason, no one is sure.

If you want to catch him in a good mood, try to play a game of chess with him, or something that requires a similar strategic skill to play. Just be careful what you do, he’ll pick up on the smallest details of your actions and gain a good understanding of what makes you tick…

“Checkmate, my beloved~”

[tuwasduwillst]

ringo-boshi replied to your post “ch5 (pt2)”

This trial was wild. I remember being skeptical that it could be Momota simply because I didn't think he would be able to act like Ouma for so long XD At first I didn't get why Ouma took off his shirt either. Or why he even filmed the video. Now I think that he *did* want the case to be solved somehow, because if he hadn't done those things, I doubt Saihara would've been able to figure out the trick.

Haha, it is pretty hard to believe, even with a script. :P 

It’s possible he did it intentionally! It’s hard to know with him... It would make sense either way--the shirt being found and the video were both part of what made it ambiguous as to who it was under the press, but like you said, they both also helped Shuichi figure things out. And Kokichi definitely knows that Shuichi’s the type to ~pursue the truth~ to the end, so I don’t think he’d overlook that.

Ah, there's also been some debate about the line where Ouma says he can't find a game that he's forced to play fun. The original line is 人にやらされるゲームなんて…楽しい訳あるかよ One alt translation I found is "As if there could ever be any fun…in a game like this where you take people’s lives…". Basically interpreting やらされる as the causative-passive of 殺る. This seems to tie better with the "toying with our lives" remark later, but I can also see why it was translated as "forced to play".

Oh, that’s really interesting! o:

On the whiteboard, Saihara's "trustworthy?" in EN and 油断ならない? in JP.The motive video's translation cuts out the fact that DICE is explicitly against murder. The original line was 「人を殺さない」かつ「笑える犯罪」をモットに、愉快犯的な犯行を繰り返すDICEには… I don't know why they cut it out, considering Saihara even says it in the trial, except with the line cut out it feels more like he's extrapolating when he's actually just stating a fact.

That is definitely a weird thing to cut out, because it’s actually important and it’s explicitly there, like you said. What in the world made them make that decision... o_o

Also aw, that part of the whiteboard’s not as cute now. That’s okay, though, it’s better to know~

I'm sorry the whole thing bored you to the point that you started talking about your trip (and this is one loooooong trial) but I hope you have fun in Japan! If you're in Tokyo, you can get almost anywhere using the trains, and you can more or less use Google Maps to navigate the complicated train system.

Hey, it’s okay! It’s not like you put that twist in there, haha. That’s really good to know about Google Maps, thanks! c: (Also, thank you for the playlist! I’ll definitely check it out later!)

Speaking of the end, though, I did have this post and I’m not sure if the link worked or not when the post was first up. If it didn’t it probably looked like I just quit the game before it was actually over, which I didn’t do. orz

chemicalnimu replied to your post “ch6”

Yeah that was it basically :/ I like to pretend this chapter never happened...or something. Eh. I'm sorry you got to the point of "so done with this I'm gonna talk about my trip instead" because it's not a good feeling to have, but it was fun to see :D & I hope you have fun in Japan and eat lots of delicious food~ I have thoughts about the game, but well, in a nutshell - same. Writing here is a pain due to character limit so maybe I'll PM a bit later

That’s probably what I’ll end up doing, honestly! We can ignore its existence together~

And it’s okay! I’m glad it was at least fun to see, haha. :P I realized it was either me doing that or whining about it the whole time (or just posting screenshots without anything between them at all), and I didn’t want to just be whining and negative, so... that’s what I ended up with. (& thanks!)

If you feel up to it I’d love to talk about it with you and hear your thoughts about it! c:

(Also, there was a post that might not have been accessible when the post was first up, so I did really finish the game if it didn’t seem like I did!)

tarifu replied to your post “[[MOR] Shuichi does this and then it’s voting time. Tsumugi says she...”

yep, pretty much the same reasons that made you check out was what annoyed me lol! so pointless. anyway i hope you have fun on your Japan trip!! it sounds so fun, i hope you post about it! ^^ i was the same about fish too, i didn't really like it, but when I was in Japan the family i was with took me to a sushi bar and i couldn't stop eating it lol! it's what made me like fish, so maybe that will happen to you! i hope you try at least a bite ^^

I guess I’m glad I’m not the only one. :P

Thanks! I’ll definitely be posting about it! :D And that’s interesting about fish, maybe I’ll actually try some while I’m there and see if it changes anything! If I nothing else I can probably convince my sister to let me try some kind of fish she orders, haha.

[tuwasduwillst]

same as the others, spoilers below

No problem! I understand what it's like to want to check a line in the original version. If you want, I can give you a link to a JPN playthrough that I've been using to check, after you're done with the game. That playlist is helpful but the vids aren't split by chapter so it's easy to get spoiled if you skip around in them. For what Ouma calls Gonta, it's actually just his first name, no changes. Because his name is spelt 獄原 ゴン太, katakana and all.

Oh, that would be great, thanks! :D

And ooh, I see. I didn’t know he had the kanji in his name.

chemicalnimu replied to your post “ch5 (pt2)”

Haha you found that inconsistent part about the hand in the sleeve! It bothered me too when I first played and later I learned that it was a localization error (they re-drew this CG a bit) in the original the hand was positioned close to the body so the transition in the video was pretty smooth. Also that's a horrible way to go...probably quick and better than being stuck with torture poison but still *shudders* that's some dedication. Too bad it was all for nothing.

They redrew it...? o_O That’s weird.

Yeah, it’s definitely not a good way to die, but there aren’t many actually good ways to die. >_> It makes me sad he had to do all that while being poisoned, poor little guy.

Actually now I’m thinking about it more and I’m really sad, haha... what the heck. :c
