Woah, I never knew Sakura was a girl until this episode, they kept saying "she". I guess I never noticed it before or something =/
My favorite moved from Asahina to Kirigiri (but not solely from her behavior this episode, it was gradual).
I know the real reason Naegi didn't tell Kirigiri about the agent was because he wanted to kill everyone, and how can he do that if somebody knows everything he does? Yep, I'm convinced.
The pictures sure are interesting, though, nice to see an image of them enjoying their time.
Waiting for the 16th, I wonder about the pacing. . but I really have no clue.

This series is throwing me for a loop. This is insane. Can't wait to see how the trial goes. Though the picture that was shown is interesting. I'm starting to feel rushed while watching now. I can't imagine how even more rushed it feels for those who have played the game.

Exactly my reaction.

This ruined her character for me. Never to include random romance hints at where it should not be. Once again, this producer/author need to know why/how/when human blushes. I hate how this show handles it's characters. MC annoys me, that swimming chick too, and now this kinpatsu shoujo.. The only character I don't dislike is the heir to a cooperation company (Togami was it?), and to a lesser extent, the genocide(?).

Wow... For some reason, I didn't expect the "getting-cliched" closed-room murder case which it should be expected.

isolated from the outside, full of cameras and monokuma as the big brother. that makes more sense now.

i have to say togami acted like a total shit head. he does take emotions too lightly. is he a pyschopath?
kirigiri said something " i must have been around corpses beofre", added with what the fat guy said and the pictures, they must have met before this school happened.

i believe hagakure is culprit

Hmm, the classic closed door murder huh? Interesting, these are usually the most interesting of the murder mysteries! Erika likes them the best too! =D

From what I see, it is possible that the muscle girl did not die right away, so she could have moved the couch to block to door. But I don't think so because there would be no reasoning for it.

I am making a guess and saying that the muscle girl's best friend is the culprit. This in my opinion is possible if muscle girl and brown hair girl are working together and muscle girl died for the sake of saving brown hair girl.

It looks to me that the cause of death might not have been a blunt weapon but poison. This would explain why she coughed up blood. But we have to wait for the official autopsy first. It is possible that she was poisoned so she could be left vulnerable to be finished off by a blunt weapon as well.

Though I can't really tell how the murder was committed with the evidence so far D=.

Every time someone gets mad in this anime I think they're about to turn super sayain lol. It kind of troubles me that Naegi would put the laptop in the room he got knocked out in. If there was someone in there when he was there more than likely they will return and find it. I think Sakura poisoned herself because there were unknown bottles at the crime scene and the door was jammed from the inside. She could've gotten dizzy from the poison, hit her head and passed out on the chair.

Edit: Now that I think about it, the only other person who knew about the poison was her best friend. That alone makes her a suspect. If thats the case it still doesn't explain how the door was jammed from the inside. Maybe another hidden door?

NOOOOO Sakuraaa!! :(((( I loved her so much! ugh
And Togami is getting on my nerves I hope somebody kills him and his side bae (Fukawa or whatever her ass hat name is) already. Fuck them, emotionless jerks.
Ugh I was really hoping that Celes and Sakura wouldn't die, so we could have some decent people at the end, but now we're left with an idiot (Mr. Crystal Balls), 2 selfish and annoying jerks, 2 great protagonists (Kirigiri is my new girl-crush ugh), and an acceptable side character(Asahina).
I'm almost afraid to see how the rest of this plays out now.

Damn! I thought Sakura-chan was going to turn super saiyan! But then she stopped. When Kirigiri blushed, HHHHNNNNGGGG! Good episode. For sure I thought the swim girl was going to die. Probably next episode or the glass ball guy. Somehow I think it was the swim girl who mustered Sakura-chan. I just get the feeling. I don't like the OP but I do like the ED!

Asahina is the best, she's so cute! Poor thing, she lost her best friend now...they had such a cute friendship too. :( She better survive in the end.

However, I wonder who killed Sakura though, I mean the door was locked and the way she was dead just looked so chill...maybe she ended up killing herself after everything that went on with her in this episode and how some of them were turning against her. Since they were saying they need to "look out for her."

In the game, you're actually giving an option to tell Kyoko about Sakura being the mole. I selected that option without hesitation and Makoto decided I was being stupid and gave me the options again. I tried to click it a few more times, maybe there was some secret amount I had to play to get it through his head but nope. Instead I had to deal with a pissy Kirigiri (which was almost completely ignored here). That was the frustrating moment of the game for me, don't tease me with player input if you're just going to flat-out ignore it.

Tangent aside, this was okay-ish. A little wonky at points, mainly because I don't think the anime did a very good job of establishing the relationship between Asahina & Sakura but still, looking forward to the next episode. If they manage to get it right, it could be something special.

So Asahina killed her right. Afterwards she locked herself in.

Surely the only reason that the mastermind would expose his own mole is because she is not cooperative any more?

This case I can't find anyone beside genocyde to be the killer on the other hand she only kills Shonen, I wonder what he meant when he said he is gonna settle things.

I haven't seen the end, but what kind of bullshit is this story. This anime is overrated!

#1) How can you have a murder mystery when the 5 out of 7 participants are guilty of lying?

#2) In the game, the Rich "Heir" dude drank the poison out of the exact same bottle that poisoned Sakura drank. Shouldn't the Rich dude be dead the moment he tastes it.

#3) How did the Rich "Heir"dude get away with stealing evidence from the crime scene "poison bottle"; and how did the girl get away with adding the health drink on top of the glass after they broke in when everyone was watching?

#4) Why are the characters so amazingly stupid? Believing they killed Sakura when there is obvious evidence that they were not the murderers...

So it's either Asahina or Yasuhiro. Main dude and main girl would not kill and the other two would be too obvious. My bet is on Asahina.
