DanganRonpa Re:Birth Summary -Chapter 1, part 2

The investigation part.

Didn’t mention it in the first part, but the name of the chapter is The Life is Short, Race on Girl.

Original script

Everyone is shocked about Rokudou’s death. Maiko starts shaking and falls on the floor. Yodogawa approaches the corpse and confirms he is dead. Fujimori’s first reaction? Of course, saying that’s not possible because the Body Discovery Announcement didn’t happen. Great to see we’re on the same page here. Monodora explains that Fujimori somehow broke the device without realizing. I’m still assuming △○□× forgot about that when posting the first part and made this excuse up. Anyways, Monodora explains the Class Trial, says every is allowed to enter any locker rooms for the investigation and gives the first Monodora File.

Truth Bullet #1: Monodora File The victim is the Super High School Level Undertaker, Saiji Rokudou.The body was discovered on the boys’ locker room of the gym. The time of death was around 2:30a.m. The cause of death was strangulation and signs from a thin string-like object can be found around his neck.

Everyone is being sad and doubting Monodora until Itsuki tells we have no time for that and we should start investigating. Maiko is still shaken and says she can’t and Itsuki tells her to go cry in the corner, not somewhere where she is obstructing the investigation. Itsuki wants to ends this repulsive game asap. Fujimori agrees with sentiment and says he wants to avenge Rokudou.

Yodogawa is helping with the investigation because his talent requires knowledge of murder tricks and even lead him to help with official investigations before (again he is amazingly not lying). Yodogawa says it’s bad to force Fujimori to check the corpse first thing, so he tells him to look around the room first. Fujimori sees the dumbbells in the corner and flashbacks to Yodogawa saying he put it there.

Truth Bullet #5: Boys’ Locker Room Many lockers and two benches. The dumbells and training equipment were placed in the corner. No major changes between its states before and after the murder.

Why are the bullets numbered out of order? Your guess is as good as mine. Anyways, Koga suddenly shows up and points at a window and they do a little test with it.

Truth Bullet #6: Boys’ Locker Room’s Small Window A small window placed somewhat high. It’s not big enough go a person to enter through, so it’s hard to believe anyone could enter or leave through it. Discouting this possibility, the only alternative for leaving or entering the room is the door.

And remember that one locker that didn’t open because the door didn’t fit the frame right? Well, someone didn’t and did a number on it.

Truth Bullet #7: Locker that doesn’t fit the frame One of the lockers on the boys’ locker couldn’t be open because the door didn’t fit its frame. It was apparently wrenched open by force and now the door is so bent it can’t close.

Then Fujimori decides search the trash and finds a letter invinting Samejima to get the motive video’s sequel on the locker room’s locker.

Truth Bullet #8: Letter from the Mastermind? A letter adressed to Kazuomi Samejima, found in the trash can. It was written using only straight lines, probably in order to hide the writer’s handwriting. Its phrasing implies it’s a letter a from the mastermind and it reads "additional information about the motive videos can be found in the boys’ room locker.”

That’s all about the room, so now we’re now moving on to the corpse. Well, in the conversation before, Rokudou said he could checking the corpses, so let’s call him to... oh. Bad jokes aside, they confirm the corpse has signs of strangulation by a thin string.

Truth Bullet #2: Saiji Rokudou’s Corpse Found half-shoved into the boys’ room locker.

Fujimori speculates Rokudou was strangled by the rope in the weapon set Monodora distrubuted everyone the night before.

Truth Bullet #4: Murder Weapon Set A murder kit sent by Monodora along with the message “Stabbing, strangling, beating, poisoning, which will you choose?”. Contains a knife, a rope, a hammer and a bottle.

Then Fujimori notices some bleeding on the back of Rokudou’s head, unrelated to his strangling. He and Yodogawa write it off since it’s not even mentioned it in the Monodora File.

Truth Bullet #3: Saiji Rokudou’s Bump A bump can be found in Rokudou’s head, probably caused by being hit by a blunt object. We can’t determine when it happened.

Fujimori asks to Samejima if he is investigating too and he says he is not, he is not good at that, so he just assigned himself to protect evidence in the boys’ room and assigned Aisaka to protect evidence in the girls’ room. Talking to Todoroki has her questioning why did the killer chose to kill Rokudou inside the locker room. Yodogawa answers that he wasn’t necessarily killed were he was found.

The two leave the locker and go to main area of the gym. They ask Izumo for her alibi and she say she was playing with “the children”. We couldn’t ask Himuro for her alibi because she is too poem mode to give coherent answers. Sakuma says he already searched this room, but couldn’t find anything. The two move to the girls’ locker room.

Fujimori reacts to the room, making Yodogawa notice he was never there before. He explained was looking at the podium while Maiko checked the room. The find the cleaning push car Maiko mentioned, but the mop wasn’t dusty like she said it was.

Truth Bullet #9: Girls’ Locker Room It’s structure is no different from the boys’ locker room. It has a push car and mop that was apparently dusty before the incident, but it looks clean now.

They try moving the push car.

Truth Bullet #10: Push Car A somewhat big push car in the girls’ locker room. It’s make creaking sound when moved, probably because a tire is damaged.

They talk to Aisaka. She is speculating the culprit might be a girl who used the dead Rokudou’s e-Handbook to enter the boys’ room. Fujimori flashbacks to when Monodora changed the rules to forbid that and points out you can’t do it because Monodora is always watching.

Truth Bullet #11: Locker Room’s Card Reader A card reader opens the door when scanning a e-Handbook. You can only enter by using a handbook that matches your gender.

The two talk to Oosone and she mentions the same window the boys’ room also had. She confirms not even her and Sakuma can fit there. Our duo realize they already investigated everything in the gym area, so they decide it would also be good to check Rokudou’s room on the dorm area.

However, before they can go to the dorms, they find Mizuta on the hallway floor searching for something. Fujimori warns her about her pose because someone could see her panties, but she says it’s okay, she is wearing good panties, panties she can let other people without being embarassed about it. Apparently she is always wearing showable panties because she never knows when she is going to be suddenly called to livereport a typhoon. The two ignore Mizuta’s clearly suspicious behavior and leave to the dorms without even asking what exactly she is looking for.

They reach the dorms, but before they can start looking for Rokudou’s room, Tsuchiya says it’s locked. He is too lazy to properly explain and tells them to ask Monodora. They wonder about that and Tsuchiya tells them that Monodora always comes when called and answers almost any questions.

Akira Tsuchiya: He is actually quite obedient when I ask him stuff. I even got the sucker to run some errands for me for a while...

It’s like he is not even trying to hide it, honestly.

Anyways, Yodogawa calls Monodora with a Doraemon reference and asks about the locked rooms. Monodora makes about how personal rooms are absolutely private spaces, so the autolocks only respond to the room’s owner (that means you can’t just steal someone’s e-Handbook and try to invade the room with it. Due to his Bad Luck talent, Fujimori worries that his autolock might activate the one time he forgets his e-Handbook inside the bedroom and leave him stuck outside. Yodogawa also remembers the rooms are soundproofed, as they tested earlier.

Truth Bullet #12: Personal Rooms Private rooms assigned to each student. They are all equipped with automatic locks, so someone forgeting to lock their doors is out of the question.

Maiko had the same idea of searching Rokudou’s room and got the same answer from Tsuchiya. Fujimori asks her about her injury and she tells her alibi. After she finished exercising with him and Rokudou, she went to sleep early, but was woken up by a huge noise. She decides to exercise some more with the training equip in her room and practice some dances but tripped and got hurt. The infirmaty is locked during nighttime, so she spent the time waiting for the morning announcement to go disinfect and put a band-aid on her wound. Judging from Fujimori’s wording on his response, it really feels like he also noticed she was lying about the noise but I can’t say it for sure.

Truth Bullet #13: Maiko Kagura’s Injury On the murder’s night, she was woken up by some big noise and got hurt while practicing dance on her room. It’s covered by a band-aid and it looks a bit painful.

The last thing that happens before the end of the investigation is talking to Itsuki. The only thing she has to add is that the only areas not locked at nighttime are the dorms, the gym, the dining hall, the courtyard and the warehouse. She talked to Monodora about it and he says that at a later chapter, when the staff room is open, a student might be able to grab the master key and opens any areas at nighttime though. It’s weird were getting hints for a future trial now, but that’s an interesting way of doing things.

Monodora announces the end of the investigation and tells everyone to gather at the dorm area. After everyone is here, we get a generic anime transformation scene for the water fountain transforming into an elevator.

Everyone enters the elevator and starts the descending. Yodogawa takes the opportunity for his motivational speech.

Seishi Yodogawa: Are you nervous?

Ayumu Fujimori: ...Huh-? Oh ...Yes. Just like everyone else, I think.

Seishi Yodogawa: Yeah, I can see that. These kind of situation usually doesn’t happen to normal people.

Ayumu Fujimori: Yodogawa-san, are you not tense or nervous or anything?

Seishi Yodogawa: ...I’m... not much. I believe everyone... and you, will be able to help me along my way. I’m, placing my trust on you here. On the... something you have inside you, Fujimori-san, that it feels like it can even change the world.

Ayumu Fujimori: No... I don’t have... anything like that in me.

Seishi Yodogawa: You know it’s very difficult to look at yourself with your own eyes. I think you should believe a little bit more in the information other people give about you. So... from now on, no matter what happens, you better do everything the way you believe in. Because you... you're much more powerful than you think.

Well, that was all of it and now I can FINALLY watch the trial. As for the culprit, I want to believe it’s Mizuta because she was acting really suspicious, but we all know that’s not who the evidence is pointing to.

I really enjoyed Maiko throughout this chapter, she is a great friend, but this is the first trial and she is the only person clearly lying her alibi, so there’s not much room to think I’m wrong. Looking back at her profile, it even mentions she has a weak mentality and is easiest to panic. I thought this was expressed by her falling to the ground when Rokudou was found, but I could very be her being the first one fall for Monodora’s motives. Not to mention we know Fujimori’s gender will be exposed in the Trial and Maiko is currently the only one who knows that, so I’m assuming she will out him as a last ditch accusation after being cornered
