There are a few aesthetic changes to the trial that are hardly noticeable, and I'd like to mention on how terrible I feel for MISSING THE CORPSE DISCOVERY ANNOUNCEMENT! I MEAN HOW COULD I DO THAT! D: )
Soundtrack: Welcome to DANGAN Island!
MEOWYKINS: Oh! Oh! Heartbreak! Heartbreak!
MEOWYKINS: It was revealed that Hideki tried to double-cross y'all!
MEOWYKINS: He was trying to kill Shougo, but whoever killed him caught him in the act!
MEOWYKINS: Meow! It gets me so excited!
MEOWYKINS: Remember to read in a good light, and enjoy this adrenaline rush!
COURT IS BACK IN SESSION
Soundtrack: Class Trial Dawn Edition – Volume Two
MONOKUMA: Welcome! Hi! Court is back in session!
MONOKUMA: As a recap, you guys were left off talking about the ElectroID! How important that was!
MONOKUMA: Upupupu, and why were the lights flickering on and off too?
MONOKUMA: Nyahahaha! What an exciting conclusion to this trial!
KEIKO: So… anyone have any ideas for us?
MIRAI: …Hmm.
MIRAI: I'm trying to think of how the ElectroID could have disappeared…
MIRAI: But nope. I came up with nothing.
NOAH: If I recall, this is how we perceived the murder to have happened so far.
NOAH: Hideki went into Shougo's room in the darkness to try and kill him.
NOAH: The killer walked in with the ElectroID as a flashlight.
NOAH: However, the ID was dropped, after Hideki charged for the killer, still missing.
TAKAYASHI: Ha! That guy has some bad aim, huh?
KIREI: T-Takayashi, I don't think it's very kind for us to make fun of him after death…
TAKAYASHI: Uh?! But he failed to kill people twice? You think those people are cool?!
KIREI: …I-I'm sorry!
FURO: Seriously though, stop spewing sick shit, let's just continue…
FURO: After the ID was dropped, the killer attacked Hideki.
FURO: Hideki was backed into the wall and killed, right?
MIRAI: I think that this portion of the mystery just involves some common sense.
MIRAI: One thing is obviously clear, right? The killer was backed into the wall by Hideki.
MIRAI: That's why he or she dropped his or her ID.
HIKARU: Indeed… that is what we have come up with so far.
MICKY: So… what exactly does that mean?
MICKY: Ah! I need to be in a spa paradise right now..!
MICKY: Treatment from my head to toe! That would be so delightful..!
YAYOI: Y-you shut up, you creep..!
YAYOI: A-anyways, so, what's the point of the flickering lights then?
SHOUGO: …If I may, I only saw them flicker once…
SHOUGO: From light, then to dark. I think I exaggerated a bit when I said that they were "flickering."
KEIKO: …But even still, that doesn't change much, does it?
MIRAI: I wonder why.
MIRAI: Hmm… Hmm… Ham…
UNMEI: Um, ham?
UNMEI: W-well, I've been thinking to solve this problem that we have…
KAITO: Oh! Unmei has an idea! She's a problem solver, she can't fail us!
UNMEI: Y-you shut up! I still think you're a pervert!
KAITO: But I'm not..!
MICKY: Oh honey, you definitely are.
KAITO: Then what are you..?!
MICKY: Oh, me? I'm a Capricorn, but thanks for asking.
KAITO: That definitely isn't what I meant!
YOSHINORI: Guys, let's listen to what Unmei has to say!
UNMEI: Um, well, actually, it's just a little obvious.
RHYSSA: Well, if it's obvious, then say it…
UNMEI: …The lights were out when the killer was attacked, right?
UNMEI: So, how could the killer see Hideki attacking when the killer dropped the ID?
RHYSSA: Oh! The killer had no source of light!
KEIKO: That is obvious… I wonder why we didn't think of that.
MIRAI: …Yeah.
MIRAI: So the lights turned on because the killer wanted to kill Hideki, or at least defend him or herself…
MIRAI: So I wonder why… I wonder why the killer turned the lights back off?
UNMEI: O-oh.
UNMEI: Well, the killer probably just panicked and turned it off.
UNMEI: They wanted to conceal the fact that they had killed Hideki and ran off.
KAITO: But… all the killer had to do was close the door…
KAITO: I guess the only plausible answer is that the killer panicked. Even though I doubt it.
NOAH: It is… undoubtable. The killer turned on the lights to attack Hideki.
NOAH: However, for some reason, something made the killer turn them off again.
NOAH: I doubt that this path of reasoning would actually help us identify the killer though.
YAYOI: Why not?
NOAH: If we find out why the lights were flickering…
NOAH: No, it definitely wouldn't help us.
NOAH: How could we identify someone with that?
MIRAI: …Hmm. I think it's possible.
NOAH: Excuse me? And how is that?
NOAH: We need some sort of clue. We need fingerprints. We need video tapes. We need witnesses.
NOAH: Without those, our case is just emptied water.
NOAH: Tell me how we're going to identify the killer without knowing anything else except that they, "flickered the lights."
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: I think… maybe…
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: Either way, it doesn't hurt to try and solve this mystery, right?
HIKARU: If Mirai believes that this path of reasoning would lead us to the killer…
HIKARU: Perhaps we could try it, just in case..?
NOAH: …
NOAH: Alright.
NOAH: I don't see why though, to be honest…
TAKAYASHI: Hmm…
TAKAYASHI: Mr. Policeman, you're acting very suspicious, aren't you?
NOAH: Pardon? How so?
KAITO: Ignore her, Noah. Her love is leading to her true blindness and insecurity…
UNMEI: Now's not the time for one of your famous proverbs!
NOAH: Anyways, we shall continue our trial with this.
NOAH: We think that the flickering lights have to do with something important with the killer.
NOAH: While I think that this path of reasoning us useless…
MICKY: Seriously honey. Not everything is useless.
MICKY: For example –
YAYOI: We don't want to hear it!
YAYOI: D-don't hate me guys, but I agree with Noah.
YAYOI: I'd rather get this over with than stay here…
MONOKUMA: Hmm? But this is a beach?
MONOKUMA: So peaceful, you know?
KIREI: I-I agree as well…
MIRAI: But you're forgetting. This has something to do with our lives itself.
MIRAI: We need to figure this out… I think. Just in case.
YAYOI: …Oh, alright.
YAYOI: Let's do it then and get this trial over with as fast as we can…
Soundtrack: BREAK! 2nd Mix
==PHASE SIX==
Nonstop Debate!
Usable Ammunition:
- Shougo's Testimony
- Flickering Lights
- Katana in Chest
- Throat Injury
- Cracks Around Hole
YAYOI: Can we really find out who the murderer is just by finding out why the killer flickered the lights..?
NOAH: I doubt it. The possibility is very low.
MIRAI: …Hmm, Noah… You said that…
MIRAI: For a case…
MIRAI: You need these three things.
MIRAI: Evidence…
MIRAI: A recording…
MIRAI: And a witness.
MIRAI: Do we have any of those?
NOAH: Obviously not.
NOAH: There's nothing we can use. ==Nothing you mentioned exists.==
KEIKO: You've got that wrong!
Soundtrack: Class Trial FUTURE PART
KEIKO: You're wrong Noah.
KEIKO: There's been a witness here this whole time..!
NOAH: What? Who?
NOAH: If you are talking about Shougo…
SHOUGO: Huh?
NOAH: He is not allowed to reveal important information.
NOAH: So what are you suggesting we do with Shougo's, "witnessing?"
MIRAI: Well, for one thing, we did solve why the killer turned off the lights after turning them on.
HIKARU: How did we do that exactly?
MIRAI: …I forgot.
HIKARU: …Yes, well, that's normal for you.
HIKARU: Keiko, do you know?
ANSWER THE QUESTION
- Because the killer didn't want to get sunburned.
- Because the killer didn't want any witnesses.
- Because the killer wanted to faze Hideki.
KEIKO: This is it!
KEIKO: Because the killer didn't want any witnesses, obviously.
RHYSSA: O-oh!
RHYSSA: Yeah, you're right!
RHYSSA: No one knew at the time that Shougo wouldn't be allowed to participate in the trial.
RHYSSA: The killer must have thought that Shougo would be dangerous in the court.
YAYOI: But then why didn't the killer kill off Shougo too..?
MIRAI: I believe the killer was abiding to the rules.
MONOKUMA: Ooh? We came up to the rules now, huh?
MONOKUMA: But Mirai, there's no such rule saying that you can't kill more than one student.
MONOKUMA: So what are you talking about?
MIRAI: More like… maybe. The killer maybe… assumed? Assumed that he or she couldn't kill two people?
SHOUGO: But the killer could have made a loophole.
SHOUGO: …I know what loopholes are about.
SHOUGO: The killer could have tried to kill me.
SHOUGO: But why didn't the killer? There was a very clear loophole that could be made.
NOAH: Yes. All the killer had to do was explain to Monokuma that it wasn't directly written in the rules.
MIRAI: …The killer probably was afraid to pursue that.
MIRAI: All the killer had to do was kill one person.
KEIKO: And the killer did just that.
KEIKO: Whoever did it killed Hideki…
KEIKO: Even if Hideki tried to kill Shougo, I can't forgive the killer..!
MONOKUMA: Yawn, yawn! Don't bring in points of friendship.
MONOKUMA: I've already heard enough of THAT back at the island, when those kids were all boohoo about eliminating that gamer girl.
MONOKUMA: This is getting boring..! You guys are talking about REALLY boring things right now!
KAITO: This is not your trial.
MONOKUMA: …Meep?
UNMEI: Wow. Kaito said something… slightly cool? Or I guess it was more of the tone of his voice.
KAITO: …Oh, uh… T-thanks, Unmei.
UNMEI: And he's back to his lame self. How can a word twister stutter words like that?
KAITO: S-shut up!
NOAH: If I may bring us back on topic…
NOAH: I suppose that Keiko is correct on why the killer turned off the lights.
NOAH: However, that doesn't change the fact that Shougo cannot tell us anything.
NOAH: What are we supposed to do in this retrospect?
YAYOI: …
YAYOI: Ah! I got it!
SHOUGO: What?
YAYOI: Shougo, you're… an expert at loopholes?
YAYOI: I don't really know why…
YAYOI: But Monokuma said that you couldn't reveal any important information!
MONOKUMA: …
MONOKUMA: Upupupu… Keiko is a lot cleverer than she seems, I see…
MONOKUMA: Interesting. Go for it, Keiko..!
KEIKO: Oh! Yayoi! You're right!
KEIKO: Shougo! Can you find a way to give us hints about the killer? Did you see who did it?
SHOUGO: …
SHOUGO: Um…
SHOUGO: It's really hard to give it away without blatantly revealing it. Obviously, that would count as important information.
SHOUGO: Maybe you can let me think about it. If you talk your way to the answer, that's great… but I have to think about it.
NOAH: …I see.
NOAH: So while Shougo thinks about how to tell us the identity of the killer…
NOAH: Perhaps we should talk about something else.
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: Oh. Wait, I realized something.
MIRAI: Hmm…
Soundtrack: Monokuma Sensei's Lesson
MIRAI: We could have been wrong about this whole thing.
NOAH: …
NOAH: …Did I hear that correctly?
NOAH: You, who has been leading us this whole case, thinks that we could be wrong?
KIREI: H-haha… Good one, Mirai… you make good jokes.
MIRAI: But it's not a joke…
KIREI: A-ah! Okay, okay..!
MIRAI: See, in all this ensuing chaos about the lights and the cup…
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: I want some water.
KEIKO: Don't just stop there..! Keep going!
MIRAI: Okay master.
MIRAI: In this ensuing chaos, we forgot about one really important thing about the body.
NOAH: …About the body?
MICKY: Um, sweetie, he was stabbed.
MICKY: Done and done, right?
MIRAI: No, no, no! We forgot something..!
HIKARU: Please do not throw a tantrum.
HIKARU: Instead, all you have to do is remind us why we can be incorrect.
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: …Master? Master Keiko?
KEIKO: …Me?
MIRAI: Do you remember something about the body?
KEIKO: Why me?!
MIRAI: …I… I forgot.
ALL: What the fuck?!
NOAH: Let us just ignore Mirai in this case.
MIRAI: …B-but…
MIRAI: I know I was right… I think.
KEIKO: …I remember SOMETHING about the body that we didn't mention.
KEIKO: But I don't really see how it concerns this case.
KEIKO: Can this evidence really derail our trial like that? Because if it can… we're in a little bit of trouble, after how far we came.
Soundtrack: HEAT UP! 2nd Mix
==PHASE SEVEN==
Nonstop Debate!
Usable Ammunition:
- Shougo's Testimony
- Flickering Lights
- Katana in Chest
- Katana Case
- Throat Injury
MIRAI: I… I know I'm right…
MIRAI: We forgot something very important!
RHYSSA: What did we exactly forget?
NOAH: It definitely was not the location of the body.
HIKARU: Did we forgot something about the position of his body?
KAITO: ==Was he hurt anywhere else?==
UNMEI: Either way, I don't really see how something about his body could affect the case to this point…
UNMEI: Shouldn't we just continue from last time?
KEIKO: I concur!
Soundtrack: Class Trial Dawn Edition – Volume Two
KEIKO: Um, I do remember something about his body that we forgot.
KEIKO: It was important, but… it still lines up with all of our reasoning.
MIRAI: …No! There's a very glaring distinction to what we think and whatever Master Keiko is about to say because I forgot whatever I was going to say and I am very embarrassed for it except I'm glad that Master Keiko is very smart and really just as smart as everyone here and I'll stop talking like this so we can actually hear what Master Keiko has to say!
KEIKO: …Um.
KEIKO: Anyways, we seemed to have forgotten Hideki's throat injury.
NOAH: …Throat injury?
NOAH: Oh yes… I do remember now.
NOAH: His throat was slit, wasn't it?
KIREI: S-slit?!
KIREI: P-please stop talking about that… I'm not very good with blood.
KEIKO: Anyways, since it was slit, I think what Mirai is trying to say is how Hideki was sliced in the throat.
KEIKO: That's what's going to change our case.
MIRAI: You're so smart, Master Keiko! I could never remember that.
MIRAI: But I do remember now!
FURO: Well, spit it out then!
FURO: How does that even remotely relate to our case..?!
MIRAI: Let's see…
MIRAI: We thought that Hideki was attacked when the lights were on?
NOAH: Yes..?
MIRAI: So, if Hideki was slashed in the throat, it had to be while the lights were on too. Hideki didn't stumble into the aquarium..!
NOAH: …
NOAH: I don't see how that changes anything.
MIRAI: ...Why not?
NOAH: His cause of death was a stab to the chest. Basically impalement from the blade, to be more specific.
HIKARU: I suppose Hideki could have been pushed to the aquarium by the killer when the sword went through his chest.
MIRAI: But that contradicts what we said about why the killer turned off the lights.
MIRAI: The killer turned off the lights because they didn't want Shougo to see them.
MIRAI: But what really happened was that Hideki was killed while the lights were full blaze.
HIKARU: I see… I suppose this does, slightly alter our reasoning.
NOAH: It still doesn't change the fact that Shougo was witness to this case.
NOAH: Shougo could still reveal to us who the murderer is. We just need to give him time to think of an obscure way to tell us.
NOAH: That way, it's technically not "important information," and it turns into instead how we perceive what he is doing.
SHOUGO: …Right.
SHOUGO: And, by the way…
Soundtrack: Class Trial ODD EDITION
SHOUGO: I thought of it..! I thought of how I could reveal the killer to you guys.
MIRAI: …Oh?
MIRAI: Wait, what about what I said before?
MIRAI: The fact that Shougo could see the killer easily changes our case a lot…
YAYOI: Enough of that… let's just hear what Shougo has to say… we can end it right now..!
SHOUGO: Yes. I… hope this is obscure enough.
SHOUGO: But, here goes..!
[Shougo raised his arms, and made his fingers point in the way that resembles a gun. He then pretended to shoot at everyone.]
KEIKO: …Wait…
KEIKO: Noah?! It was Noah?!
NOAH: …Oh, please. That gun motion can easily be pointed towards any of us.
KIREI: H-how?!
RHYSSA: …
NOAH: Don't you think I'd be a little too obvious? That would make it "revealing information..." No. It could be someone else, and who is that person?
NOAH: Well, consider this.
NOAH: Rhyssa's NCIS role.
RHYSSA: Huh?!
NOAH: In NCIS, they frequently use guns, correct?
RHYSSA: Y-yeah, but I was only a guest star!
RHYSSA: I barely used guns for people to get that reference!
NOAH: But that's what makes it obscure.
MONOKUMA: Upupupu, it does, doesn't it? Rhyssa's reduced guest star role turned into the perfect imitation for Shougo!
MONOKUMA: Most people would have guessed Noah, as his talent is being a policeman…
MONOKUMA: But Rhyssa had an NCIS role as well! She is a gunslinger in her role, isn't she?
RHYSSA: S-stop it..!
RHYSSA: I could never kill anyone!
MICKY: Z-zip it, happy meal! You touched one of our friends..!
RHYSSA: …W-what?
YAYOI: H-how could you..?! I'll never forgive you!
YAYOI: Feels good to say that to someone else!
RHYSSA: Wait..! Guys..!
KEIKO: …
KEIKO: Why? It all makes sense.
KEIKO: Noah is too obvious, and that would make Shougo's message "obscure." But I know for a fact that it's not Rhyssa.
KEIKO: I… I can't explain it, but she's not the murderer.
KEIKO: Is there anyone else who could have committed it?
KEIKO: …Yeah. Yeah, there is. Except I know that person didn't do it either..!
KEIKO: I don't want to call him out for it though!
MIRAI: Hmm… I still think I'm right.
MIRAI: The fact that Shougo clearly saw the killer's face changes lots of things…
MIRAI: But since we are talking about this, there's someone else that could be associated with a gun.
MONOKUMA: Upupupu…
HIKARU: And who is that?
MIRAI: You.
HIKARU: Me?
KAITO: Oh… as a prisoner, you were arrested for what again?
HIKARU: I do not feel comfortable revealing my crimes.
HIKARU: If you all do not know what it is… I'd rather keep it that way.
MIRAI: I'm not saying that you did anything like kill someone.
MIRAI: But… prisoners are often associated with guns as well.
NOAH: …Ha. I see.
NOAH: Well, then that leaves us three suspects, does it?
RHYSSA: Wait a minute! I can't be a suspect..!
NOAH: His message was clearly pointed at Hikaru, Rhyssa, or I…
NOAH: However, I assure you, that I would not take a life!
RHYSSA: Neither would I!
HIKARU: I would never take a life either.
YAYOI: H-how can we believe that when your past is shrouded in mystery?!
YAYOI: No, the most likely person here has to be Hikaru..!
HIKARU: It is not me. Please believe me.
RYOKO: Guys, guys… aren't we on the wrong track here?
HIKARU: How?
RYOKO: His message can be interpreted in any way…
RYOKO: Since I'm a tattoo artist, what if I put guns on people for tattoos?
RYOKO: It could associate me too, right?
MIRAI: …Ooh. She brings up a good point.
MIRAI: So it's pretty obvious that we're all wrong with our suspects, right?
SHOUGO: There can only be one person here that's the suspect…
SHOUGO: I only meant one person. But I'm glad…
SHOUGO: I thought since it could be interpreted in so much ways with the people here… maybe I could pass this off as something obtuse.
MIRAI: And obtuse it was… whatever that word actually means.
MIRAI: I think that we have to actually take his motion literally.
MIRAI: But Shougo, I noticed something while you were shooting at us.
UNMEI: Y-you know he actually wasn't literally shooting at us, right?
MIRAI: Anyways, can you do your hint again?
MIRAI: Exactly how you did it before
SHOUGO: S-sure, if it's allowed.
MONOKUMA: Eh, go ahead. We've already came this far, I'll allow it.
MONOKUMA: Upupupu! You should thank me for my generosity! I'm fair, this is your first trial, so you need a little jump start!
SHOUGO: Okay…
[Shougo made gun motions again. Yet, I didn't notice anything this time.]
KEIKO: What was your point of making him do it again..? It's not that hard to remember.
MIRAI: We have to interpret this literally, remember?
MIRAI: While it could mean Hikaru, and I guess it could mean Rhyssa…
MIRAI: There's something he did that made it perfectly clear who he was suspecting.
RYOKO: Um, I don't know about you, but you'd have to look pretty fucking hard to even notice anything that small.
FURO: Are you sure you're right about this, Mirai?
MIRAI: Trust me.
MIRAI: There's a reason why what he did makes him suspect one person, and one person only.
RHYSSA: I'm not a he! Hear that?! I'm a full woman!
KAITO: Yes, we can tell from your talk show that you are a "woman."
RHYSSA: …
RHYSSA: …Shut up…
KEIKO: How does that even reveal any information about the suspect?
KEIKO: It really shouldn't, but…
ANSWER THE QUESTION!
- How long he was shooting.
- The reason why he was shooting.
- Who he was shooting to.
KEIKO: This is it!
KEIKO: I got it… Mirai, you're thinking of who he's shooting to, right?
RYOKO: The fuck? How'd you notice it to, Keiko?
MIRAI: Shougo, do it one more time… exactly how you did it before.
SHOUGO: Alright.
[Shougo raised his arms, and clearly shot at one person. This person… was Hikaru.]
RYOKO: …Uh, he's shooting at Hikaru. So?
RYOKO: Are you saying he did it?
KEIKO: Yes…
KEIKO: Shougo was shooting at Hikaru! His target was the real culprit!
HIKARU: But I'm telling you. I did not commit this crime!
MIRAI: No, Master, you are wrong in this case.
KEIKO: Huh?
KEIKO: But he was shooting at Hikaru.
MIRAI: Yes, but there's a more literal interpretation for that.
KEIKO: …
KEIKO: It wasn't Hikaru. But Shougo was shooting at Hikaru anyways.
KEIKO: Argh..! I can't even think clearly.
KEIKO: Bring it together Keiko.
KEIKO: Trust Mirai's judgement, he's been mostly right so far… Who could he be referring to then?
You are about to read a Dive Drive. In this, Keiko must remember numerous aspects about the case to answer one big question she has. In this case, who is Mirai even referring too? Can you figure it out? I hope that this brings you closer to the truth. Over and out.

QUESTION #3: Who is he accusing because of this?
A: Hikaru B: Noah C: Rhyssa

…
CLEAR!
KEIKO: I've connected the dots!
Soundtrack: Deadman Wonderland Track 5. DW28A
KEIKO: He… he was accusing Noah.
NOAH: …Me?
NOAH: Ha. You are joking, right?
MIRAI: As a policeman, Noah may use a tool of weapon… say a gun.
MIRAI: A gun to hunt down criminals.
HIKARU: A-and since I was a prisoner?
KAITO: Shougo was imitating Noah?
MIRAI: Yeah.
MIRAI: His imitations are what lead to his actual accusation.
MIRAI: He was imitating someone here. Who he was imitating was whoever the killer was.
NOAH: B-but, I haven't done a crime like this…
NOAH: You have no proof..!
TAKAYASHI: Wasn't Shougo meaning you proof enough?! He saw the entire damn thing!
RYOKO: God damn..! For a policeman you have some nerves!
NOAH: It wasn't me..! I am a man of the law..! I would never take a life!
RHYSSA: …Why?
NOAH: ..!
NOAH: Please believe me! It was not me!
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: Really?
NOAH: Of course not! I'm not a killer!
NOAH: How could I have even done it?!
KEIKO: …Don't you remember what you told me that one day?
KEIKO: You said you heard an explosion coming from the cafeteria.
KEIKO: Meaning that you were up and walking when the katana was dumped into the hole!
NOAH: B-but –
KEIKO: Noah! I don't want to believe it, but if it really was you…
KEIKO: Admit it already… end this terrible experience for us.
NOAH: I'm telling you! I do not tell lies!
NOAH: I was walking around that time, but it was not to commit murder!
KAITO: If you really were walking around that time, and no one saw you…
KAITO: How can we believe you?
UNMEI: It was you who said that all cases need a witness.
UNMEI: There was no witness, was there?
NOAH: …
NOAH: Do you guys understand what you are doing?
NOAH: If you accuse me, you will all be killed.
NOAH: This is a fight for our lives. Accusing me on a whim like this isn't going to help.
SHOUGO: What if I didn't reveal you?
SHOUGO: Would you have gone along with it?
NOAH: ..!
SHOUGO: You are just a hypocrite. Hypocrites make me sick.
NOAH: …
NOAH: I'm telling the truth.
NOAH: I did not commit this murder!
MIRAI: …
MIRAI: Hmm…
MIRAI: Mmm. I don't really know what's going on anymore.
MIRAI: But I know one thing.
MIRAI: I'm not sure that we can trust Shougo.
SHOUGO: Excuse me?
SHOUGO: I saw the killer in bright lights.
SHOUGO: The killer is Noah.
MONOKUMA: …Upupupu.
MIRAI: Yes… But I don't think its Noah.
NOAH: Mirai…
NOAH: He is correct though! It is not me.
MIRAI: I remember what I said earlier.
MIRAI: The reason why Shougo is wrong is BECAUSE he saw the killer in bright lights.
SHOUGO: Hmm? How exactly does that work?
SHOUGO: I-I saw the killer in bright lights. That killer was Noah!
NOAH: …
NOAH: Why do you feel the need to lie to get your way out of things?
MIRAI: I also do… have a little faith in Noah.
NOAH: ..!
MIRAI: Noah was one of the most influencing people here during the trial.
MIRAI: He wanted to get the killer… he has a natural blood for catching criminals…
MIRAI: …So that's why I don't think Noah is the killer.
NOAH: Mirai…
MIRAI: If you guys don't have faith… it'll lead you to darkness.
KAITO: …That sounds like something I would say.
UNMEI: Um, I doubt that.
RYOKO: So you're sayin' Noah didn't do it?
RYOKO: But it makes sense.
RYOKO: Keiko said that Noah told him herself.
RYOKO: He was walking that night. He was awake.
NOAH: I do not tell lies, and I will not deny that.
NOAH: But I had no knowledge of the murder at the time.
MIRAI: I think what really has to happen… is for us to talk about the missing ElectroIDs again.
KEIKO: Huh? Why those?
MIRAI: Hmm, it's a stretch, but I think I know why Shougo is concealing the truth from us.
SHOUGO: I'm not lying either!
SHOUGO: If you want to know, my Super Highschool Level title proves this directly!
SHOUGO: The fact that I am not a liar!
MIRAI: Oh? What is it?
SHOUGO: Me? My title?
SHOUGO: If it'll help advance this case, I'll say it now.
SHOUGO: My title is…
SUPER HIGHSCHOOL LEVEL LAWYER
SHOUGO: There.
SHOUGO: That's my title. Satisfied?
MIRAI: Yes.
MIRAI: But Noah is a policeman.
MIRAI: Hmm, who is right here?
KEIKO: …Really. Who is right? Two people of law that could either be lying or telling the truth.
KEIKO: This is one confusing case…
MIRAI: I wonder… who is right here?
MONOKUMA: Upupupu! I guess we'll find out later, huh?
KEIKO: Huh?
MONOKUMA: I mean, it's time for another recess!
KEIKO: Another one? Not when we're on a hot streak..!
MONOKUMA: Oh, but we must!
MONOKUMA: Upupupu, people at home? Do you think it's Noah? Or do you think Shougo is hiding something from us?
MONOKUMA: Anything can happen in a class trial, nyahahaha!
(AN: …lol. Another cliffhanger suckers lmao rofl wtf)

(AN: Okay so TBH I was going to leave a cliff hanger here because it's a perfect place to drop off, but I already gave out two of them in like a week so I gave you a break and combined the two since I wrote the whole trial before hand. Therefore I rewrote the next part of the class trial that originally was going to be a standalone chapter instead of giving you another cliffhanger. Yay, right? Plus since I'm actually kind of sort of sadistic in a way, I wanted to see if anyone actually believed that I ended the trial. So if you did, please comment about that in the review, :P Enjoy the rest of the rewritten trial!)
MEOWYKINS: Monokuma-sama! Meow! I think that we should continue this trial!
MONOKUMA: Hmm? Why is that, my dog who speaks like a cat?
MEOWYKINS: Because! I want to know what happens, nya nya!
MONOKUMA: …
MONOKUMA: Upupupu, I was so bored before, but I guess I'm not now.
MONOKUMA: Alright! Continue the trial!
KEIKO: O-okay.
KEIKO: Okay, so it's not Hikaru, right?
HIKARU: It is not.
HIKARU: However, I have doubts that it is Noah as well.
NOAH: …Hikaru.
NOAH: …
KEIKO: …
KEIKO: Thinking about it now…
KEIKO: There was no way Noah could have taken that ElectroID.
KEIKO: He didn't even know about it when I asked him.
KEIKO: So there was no need for the ElectroID to be taken…
KEIKO: Someone else had to have taken the ID, meaning that Noah couldn't have been the killer.
NOAH: …
TAKAYASHI: But if it wasn't Noah, then who was it?
TAKAYASHI: Did we interpret Shougo's warning wrong?
MIRAI: No, I don't think so.
MIRAI: It is not us that interpreted Shougo wrong.
MIRAI: But he didn't even give us a correct hint in the first place.
NOAH: Huh?!
HIKARU: Are you saying that his hint was meant to throw us off?!
SHOUGO: ..!
SHOUGO: No! I would never!
SHOUGO: These are your lives that we're talking about!
SHOUGO: I could never..!
MIRAI: As a master of loopholes…
MIRAI: Your initial loophole was this instead.
MIRAI: You'd give us what could be classified as completely revealing information, because if you interpreted what he did literally, it is clearly Noah.
MIRAI: But in reality, it didn't reveal anything at all.
MIRAI: It was unimportant because Shougo was lying.
MIRAI: Shougo is trying to protect someone here.
KEIKO: What?!
KEIKO: S-Shougo! Is this true?
SHOUGO: …
SHOUGO: Keiko. I appreciate you taking the time to eat with me that one time.
KEIKO: Shougo..!
KEIKO: To think I felt bad for you..! You could have killed us all!
SHOUGO: …
SHOUGO: I'm sorry, but the person who is the killer…
SHOUGO: I will most definitely not reveal who that person is!
MONOKUMA: Nyahaha! I was right to continue the trial, wasn't I?
MEOWYKINS: Actually, Monokuma-sama, it was I who suggested that, meow!
MONOKUMA: Liar! I'll eat you! Nom!
MEOWYKINS: Eep!
KEIKO: B-but!
SHOUGO: I'm talking to the killer now…
SHOUGO: I'm sorry. I couldn't end this like you wanted me to.
SHOUGO: All you have to go off on now is luck.
SHOUGO: Will these people find out who you are?
SHOUGO: …
KEIKO: …Shougo.
KEIKO: Why would you even protect that someone?!
NOAH: …
NOAH: …I think I know why…
NOAH: No, I definitely know why… I've been in a similar situation.
NOAH: But…
NOAH: It's too painful to talk about, actually…
RYOKO: Shougo..! You stupid son of a bitch!
FURO: You could have killed us all, you bastard!
KIREI: I-I must clean up this mess! I must clean up this mess!
YAYOI: There is no mess to talk about here, Kirei! Focus!
UNMEI: This isn't a good way to solve our problems!
KEIKO: Why? Why would Shougo even stand up for the killer like that?
KEIKO: I… do I know why? Can I even guess why?
KEIKO: I have to. Noah said it was too painful, and we already accused him too much… I'll figure out Shougo's intentions myself!

MOTIVE!
KEIKO: This is it!
Soundtrack: Class Trial FUTURE PART
KEIKO: I know…
KEIKO: I definitely know.
KEIKO: It all goes back to the motive, doesn't it?
MONOKUMA: Upupupu, the motive?
MONOKUMA: Which motive? The one about your ship sinking or poor Shougo here being drowned in a tank meant for the fishies?
KEIKO: U-uh, the second one.
KEIKO: Someone here…
KEIKO: Someone here knows who Shougo is in real life.
KEIKO: Someone here actually saved Shougo's life!
RYOKO: S-saved his life?! You mean the killer killed Hideki because they wanted to rescue Shougo?!
RYOKO: I-I guess that's a little more sympathetic… but to let us all die, still!
KEIKO: It's true, isn't it Shougo?!
SHOUGO: …I… I plead the fifth.
FURO: You can't plead the fucking fifth in a trial ran by an evil teddy bear!
FURO: Is Keiko right or not?!
KEIKO: …
SHOUGO: …
SHOUGO: I can't say it..!
MIRAI: That pretty much confirms it, all things considering.
MIRAI: Anyways, Keiko was on the ball with that.
MIRAI: Remember when we were talking about why the killer didn't finish Shougo off?
MIRAI: It wasn't because the killer wanted to follow the rules, but it was because they knew who Shougo was before this incident ever happened.
MIRAI: Yup! The killer saved Shougo's life, that's all that happened!
NOAH: B-but wait..!
NOAH: That doesn't make sense!
NOAH: The killer would want to save Shougo! The killer should just reveal who they are then!
SHOUGO: …
SHOUGO: No! The killer would never reveal who they are!
SHOUGO: Because I'm going to save her!
SHOUGO: I'm going to make sure that she gets out of here alive!
TAKAYASHI: Aha!
TAKAYASHI: She's a "she," huh?!
SHOUGO: …S-shit..!
YAYOI: So that means the killer is a girl?!
SHOUGO: …
TAKAYASHI: Yahoo! I'm on fire today!
TAKAYASHI: W-wait a minute..! I'm a girl!
HIKARU: While that does narrow down our list of suspects, we are still missing a crucial piece of the trial!
HIKARU: We don't have any solid evidence that can convict anyone here!
NOAH: …N-not after we came this far..!
KAITO: Wait a minute here, don't give up!
KAITO: We just need to talk about something else!
MIRAI: He's right! Remember, we still didn't figure out the mystery of the lost ElectroID, did we?
NOAH: N-no, we didn't.
HIKARU: If I recall, I was looking into the room, and saw Hideki's dead body in the distance.
HIKARU: I noticed the SIM card and went to show Keiko, but after I looked…
HIKARU: I noticed that the ID went missing.
KEIKO: Y-yeah, I remember that…
KEIKO: Then that means..!
ANSWER THE QUESTION!
- Hikaru didn't actually see the ID.
- The ID was taken by someone before the body was discovered.
- The ID was taken by someone after the body was discovered.
KEIKO: This is it!
KEIKO: The ID was taken when we actually discovered Hideki's body?!
NOAH: You mean someone snagged it while we weren't paying attention?!
MIRAI: Think. Think about who it could be.
MIRAI: Someone had to notice, right?
MIRAI: And I think I noticed too.
MIRAI: In fact, I was there..! I saw the culprit as I discovered the body.
MIRAI: Keiko, you know who the killer is too, right?
MIRAI: The person that took the ID is one of us here. You know who it is.
KEIKO: W-why do I have to say it?!
KEIKO: I-I mean, maybe it could be her…
KEIKO: But her?! I just don't believe it..!

KEIKO: It was you, wasn't it Yayoi?!
YAYOI: H-huh?!
YAYOI: W-what?!
YAYOI: Huh?! What are you saying?!
YAYOI: No! No! I've never seen this man before in my life!
YAYOI: It couldn't have been me!
KEIKO: But you were the only person I forced to come with me!
KEIKO: You and Mirai that is!
MIRAI: Yup. You would have easily noticed the ElectroID first, after unknowingly dropping it the night before.
YAYOI: H-huh?!
MIRAI: You see, when Yayoi dropped her ID, she didn't know about it.
MIRAI: She saw it as she was walking in after being forced by Keiko.
MIRAI: In the end, she was afraid that someone would take it, and took the ID in a panic, easily missing the SIM card.
YAYOI: But I came before everyone else! The others would have seen it!
NOAH: In that case, you noticed it but realized that we were right behind you!
NOAH: While we were busy on the body, you took it under our breath!
SHOUGO: N-no..!
SHOUGO: No! You're wrong! Yayoi isn't the murderer!
SHOUGO: It was Noah! It was fucking Noah!
SHOUGO: He's the mother fucking piece of scumbag trash that killed Hideki!
NOAH: I am not a piece of scumbag trash!
NOAH: Not to mention!
NOAH: Remember who suggested that Shougo give the hint first?!
NOAH: It was Yayoi! She was the one who baited us into accusing me!
YAYOI: Nnnnnnnnnnnnnngh…!
YAYOI: L-liars..! Why do you… Why do you all hate me?!
KEIKO: Yayoi also was noticeably the one who wanted to go home the most out of all of us, right?
KEIKO: You noticed how she'd freak out so much times!
YAYOI: S-shut up! Shut up right now!
YAYOI: You don't fucking know! You don't fucking know what you are talking about!
YAYOI: WHY DO YOU ALL HATE ME? DO YOU WANT TO SEE INNOCENT PEOPLE LIKE ME SUFFER LIKE THIS?!
YAYOI: I AM A GODDAMN MOTHER FUCKING HACKER! I WILL STEAL ALL OF YOUR IDENTITES AND PUT YOU ON THE STREET!
KAITO: Damn… not very innocent now.
SHOUGO: Y-Yayoi! Calm down!
SHOUGO: It wasn't her! It wasn't!
KEIKO: No! It was! All the pieces fit together!
KEIKO: Did anyone see Yayoi out last night? No, but that doesn't mean that she wasn't!
KEIKO: If no one say Yayoi, then that would leave her free to commit the crime!
SHOUGO: N-ngh!
SHOUGO: You liar! Shut the fuck up!
KEIKO: And I know exactly how the murder was committed!
KEIKO: I'll reveal your crimes here Yayoi! All at once!
YAYOI: Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh!

KEIKO: Piecing the whole crime together right now!
Soundtrack: Re Climax Return
Chapter 1
This all starts last night. Hideki went insane, probably over having no games, and wanted to get out of this school as soon as possible. He goes over and heads to Shougo's room, being trapped, intending to kill him.
Chapter 2
Hideki, not wanting any witnesses in case there were any, leaves the lights off. However, because it was so dark in the room, Hideki could barely see Shougo, and therefore missed, creating that slit in the glass that we saw.
Chapter 3
Yayoi, who was also up by a stroke of luck, heard Shougo's screams. Recognizing his voice immediately, she ran to his room, using her ID as a flashlight, and took a katana. Hideki and Yayoi were engaged in a brawl, and she unknowingly dropped her ID, causing the SIM card to fall out as well. She charged and sliced Hideki's throat, and then stabbing him immediately after, dealing the finishing blow and knocking him back into the aquarium. That also caused the cup to fall onto the ground and shatter, creating the glass shards that we saw that day.
Chapter 4
Yayoi had used two swords now. One for herself to kill Hideki, and one that Hideki used to try and kill her. Not wanting to create more evidence, Yayoi took Hideki's sword and headed to the cafeteria, remembering the hole that Mirai created and what would happen if something was put into it.
Chapter 5
As Yayoi dropped the sword into the water, Noah at the same time was up and walking around as well. Noah heard the sword explode by the electrocution that Monokuma had set up to go off. Instead of going for it, he assumed it wasn't anything important, and ignored it.
Chapter 6
That night, I had a feeling that something was amiss, so I went to Shougo's room. I had a feeling that something bad happened there, and as I opened the door, I discovered Hideki's dead body. Shocked, I ran over to the dorms, knocking on every door and forcing Yayoi and Mirai with me.
Chapter 7
As we entered, Yayoi immediately noticed the ElectroID. The others followed close in pursuit however, and rendered Yayoi unable to grab her ID. Until everyone noticed Hideki's dead body, that is. Yayoi, noticing this, took this opportunity and grabbed the ID, causing it to disappear, much to Hikaru's confusion.
"That's what happened! That's the murder of Hideki Komiya!"
I pointed my finger at Yayoi across the court table, and screamed at the top of my lungs.
"Yayoi Adachi! You killed Hideki Komiya!"
Continued in Chapter 1 Part VII: The End
(AN: I have to say, I am pretty satisfied with how things turned out. I hope you guys liked this trial! I was thinking of adding a Machinegun Talk Battle, but I thought it would be useless, plus, this is a great place to stop without being much of a cliffhanger. See ya! Another update tomorrow for sure, since it's that segment in the games when the trials are over. You should expect some backstory as well!)
