Curate, connect, and discover
is this at all accurate

drdt spoilers and all that, i had another thought, this is a brain dump and not a coherent thought
spoilers for drdt
ok so ive seen whit timeloop theory makes sense i think its cool but what about full game timeloop theory (.. that only whit can recall.. because he's just.. like that.. idk)
i mean hear me out the game says 'all murderers must be punished', theres the theory that all of them contributed to a death somehow (edit: and thats why they are being punished by playing the killing game, theoretically), thats all well and good but can anyone actually KILL teruko
like she survived being stabbed. and the guns and stuff
maybe the game keeps looping because of teruko specifically, that's why xander has to kill her, because they're stuck in the game. on more of a clutching at straws note, maybe him and eden were the survivors of the last game, and realised they had to die to restart the loop or something after learning the truth and to kill teruko
'i wasnt expecting her to attack me like that' eden could be crying because she doesn't actually want to attack xander but like. she gotta kill him dude. idk. idk where im going with this :(
but that would be cool if it was a plot point because it gives eden cool relevance without making her evil or a mastermind
anyway yeah point is the killing game only continues because teruko lives. if teruko dies, then they can finally get out of the loop? maybe?
essentially it's like. purgatory. because people go to purgatory as a temporary waiting room for their sins to be purged and cleaned and stuff, they can't leave until they've paid the last penny etc
teruko is the last penny i guess
it gives them a plausible reason for xander to kill teruko, he might not remember the last loop but whatever his source if, if its linked to the loop them he's kinda taking one for the team tryna kill teruko idk
also davids weird treatment towards teruko idk
maybe he had a little conversation with xander before matthewsman kicked the bucket and that's why he's acting all weird IDK
IDK ANYMORE THATS JUST A THEORY
any thoughts? at all? i might just be going crazy again lol ty for reading :)
(edit #2: try not to use 'idk' in a sentence challenge, level impossible)
HAPPY LATE BIRTHDAY TO MY BOY XANDER‼️
(not me making a tumblr account to post this)
Chapter 1 and 2 spoilers
I've been reminded of the vote for the first trial again (thanks Weeby Newz). If you don't remember the results, 13 people voted for Min as the culprit and 2 people voted for Teruko. But, who voted for Teruko? I'm late to the party, but I'm 95% sure the two people who did so are:
David
This one is purely circumstantial, but I really think David voted for Teruko out of spite. He was the main one refuting Teruko's claims during the trial, for no good reason at all. I guess David seems to hate Teruko just for existing.
This is especially prevalent with these quotes from episode 8, when David defends Xander, when it's so obvious that Teruko isn't the murderer.
I'm gonna rant for a second (you can skip this if you want).
David was SOOOO dumb in this trial. Like dude, Xander is DEAD, why are you defending him? There's no fucking way that Teruko killed Xander when XANDER is the one who stabbed her. Now that I think about it, it kind of reminds me of when Makoto defended Sayaka in Danganronpa 1, despite the fact that Sayaka framed him for murder. Even in that case, there wasn't a whole lot of evidence that didn't point to Makoto.
Anyway, moving on.
2. Teruko
Yeah, I think Teruko voted for herself. I suspected it for a while, but this quote from episode 12 sealed the deal.
Specifically the quote "You voted her as the blackened too, didn't you?" tells me that she's pointing fingers at everyone else, blaming them for something she didn't do, which is vote for Min. It also tells me that Teruko blames herself for Min's death.
I find it interesting that in this context, Teruko doesn't blame Xander for Min's death, since he's the one who tried to kill in the first place.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk :)
Do y'all remember that comment about a water leak that Arei made in the first trial?
I just realized how stupid her comment was (about the existence of a water leak, not the videos). If someone had debunked that comment right then and there (or if she hadn't said anything at all), the cast would've gotten through this trial much faster.
Here's why Arei's comment was dumb in the first place, and what it prevented the cast from figuring out. (Ch 1 spoilers)
When there's a water leak, there's typically evidence of one somewhere, and there was no evidence.
Normally when there's a water leak, there would be signs of that in the ceiling, the furniture, or the appliances in the room. There's not much furniture in the computer lab, but their are a bunch of appliances. The computers and the disc readers in the room show no signs of damage, and neither does the ceiling. If there was mold or damage of any kind, MonoTV would have noticed and took care of it (like it did with the gym in Ch. 2).
2. More importantly, a water leak doesn't explain why Xander's corpse was found soaking wet.
Not sure how Arei completely disregarded this, and how people took her comment at face-value.
These two reasons above prove that there was no water leak to begin with.
The existence of a third party.
The water alone proves that there was a third party. Xander was the one who was found soaked, so it's pretty clear that he didn't bring any water. He's also the one who originally orchestrated the murder plan. It wouldn't make any sense for him to bring water to a computer lab. Teruko didn't bring it either, since she was found completely dry. If she did bring water, there would be a vessel that holds water lying around somewhere. There's no evidence of either of them leaving the room to get water. The only option left is a third party (Min), who indeed had a vessel that holds water (a bucket) and splashed it on Xander, which is why he was wet, as y'all know.
2. Teruko's innocence.
The existence of said third party proves Teruko's innocence. There were plenty of other reasons that prove Teruko's innocence (LIKE XANDER STABBING HER), but somehow this is the one that proved her innocent.
I realize now that Teruko could've started with talking about the water on the floor first instead of the bloodstains, but it works either way. I really wish Arei hadn't said what she said, because it was beyond stupid. I also wish someone in the cast had noticed she said that sooner, and used a rebuttal against her statement.
Maybe I'll do more analysis in the future :)
Okay um...... three questions because I've been thinking about this for like 30 minutes now.
Why are Teruko and Xander the only two cast members whose custom weapons are actual weapons, rather than objects that can be used as weapons? And the fact that their weapons are (kinda) opposite of each other is also interesting.
Why is Xander the only cast member with a fake weapon? Does that indicate that he's the traitor?
I feel like these things are important but I'm not sure why.
anyone else think that xander is a twice stan? i just thought it would be a funny headcanon.
