My predictions for the secrets of the DRDT Cast!~

While I’m definitely not smart enough to figure this murder out, I think I may be qualified in figuring the current second biggest mystery of Chapter 2, the rest of the characters secrets!

While a majority of the classes secrets have been revealed, I think I have a good idea on the rest! I’ll try to explain the best I can, but this is kind of a more casual theory than a super in-depth one like most of the ones I see.

Tw: Su!c!de, Self h@/rm, Implied Eating Disorder in Ace’s section, Spoilers for Danganronpa Despair Time

Confirmed Secrets

These are the secrets that are correct and have been confirmed.

Xander - “How could I even select what secret to be your motive? Just about everything you’ve done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is your fault.”

Nico - “No one accepted you because of your identity. You were constantly mocked by your family, your peers, and everyone else.”

Arei - “Blackmail, rumors, lying, stealing, slander. You did everything you could to ruin your sisters’ lives.”

Rose - “You took on your talent to earn money for your family. But you’ve since put them in a lifetime of debt.”

J - “You hide your name and birthright to pretend that you aren’t the daughter of Mariabella Rosales.”

Charles - “Your older brother died, but you don’t remember him at all.”

Eden - “Ever since you kissed her, you were afraid your sexuality would ruin your friendships.”

Arturo - “Your younger sister killed herself because of you. You should have never left.”

Whit - “Your mother is dead. You always omit that truth.”

Ace - “Your body is falling apart, but you still refuse to eat.”

David - “You exist to manipulate others. Everyone else exits to be taken advantage of.”

Now we move on to the characters whose secrets have not been revealed, and so everything from here on out is pure speculation. I’ll try to explain my reasoning, even if it is sometimes rather flimsy.

Characters who’s secrets have NOT been revealed: Teruko, Hu, Veronika, Min, and Levi

So! Let the speculation begin!

“You always treated the competition with ruthlessness, but poisoning them to win was a bit too far, wasn’t it?”

I think this secret belongs to Min. If I’m not mistaken, in her extra episode between Ch. 1 and 2, we learn that the competition to become the Ultimate Student is incredibly difficult. While Min is smart, that alone doesn’t guarantee that she’ll win the title. So, I believe that Min poisoned one, if not multiple of her peers to become the Ultimate Student. We’ve already seen her dark side through her murder of Xander, so is it that far of a stretch? I also think the word competition is important, as the only other character who’d really have “Competition” is Levi, as the fashion industry is incredibly cut throat, but that aside, the evidence is almost nonexistent (At least from what I remember).

“You only took on your talent to distract from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun.”

I think this secret belongs to Veronika. We already know that she treats this killing game as, well, a game. She doesn’t take any situation seriously, and seems a lot like Junko, where she finds everything boring within seconds. Therefore, she started harming herself. However, as the Ultimate Horror Fanatic, I think it truly fits her personality of getting bored easily. Good horror finds a way to surprise you no matter if you know the tropes or not, and surprises = no boredom. It’s an almost comedic reasoning, but it truly fits her in my opinion.

“You were quite the hopeless child. Dying once wasn’t enough, so you attempted three times.”

I think this is Hu. I know this secret being Hu’s is a popular theory, although admittedly I don’t follow many DRDT theories so I’m not exactly sure why, so my reasoning may or may not overlap.

Hu states in the trial that if she can’t protect people, be that motherly role that she makes herself out to be, she won’t be useful anymore. I think she knows how it feels and wants to give everyone else comfort and support, which is why she gets on to Arei and Ace for their cruelty. It also fits with David stating that “[Hu] may not be the strong, noble person she makes herself out to be,” as, speaking from experience, those thoughts definitely makes the victim feel as though they are weak.

“You’re a murderer, and you hold no remorse.”

Teruko. I think this is Teruko. She is a pretty remorseless person in general, straight up pushing Min off of her as she pleads and begs for forgiveness moments before being excecuted. And no, that’s not the murder I’m talking about. I think the victim is the mystery girl Teruko’s been dreaming about. I don’t have real evidence, but this is definitely a gut feeling.

“You’re constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. It doesn’t matter that it’s not your fault, just that you didn’t go with them.”

This leaves Levi. Levi talks about being a better person a lot, and blaming himself may be the reason he feels like he has to. And with his slight outlashes at Ace during trials, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a trauma response.

So! That’s my thoughts, I hope you guys enjoyed my rambles! Again, if anything said contradicts canon, just know I didn’t fact check all of this, especially Levi’s section… I do think I remember him talking about family with Eden and it not being a sore subject, but hey. I’m actually pretty confident with the rest, especially Hu and Min.

So, yeah! I think that’s about it. Bye!~

Based on Avery's @ask-drdt-secret-swap-au's, I've created a DRDT secret swap AU myself! Questions and thoughts on the AU are always appreciated!

(Note: Talents stay the same in this AU, but personalities may or may not be altered!)

(Warning for family deaths, suicide, transphobia, homophobia, self-harm, eating disorders, etc.)

Teruko Tawaki: Your twin brother killed himself because of you. You should have never left.

Xander Matthews: You were quite the hopeless child. Dying once wasn't enough, so you attempted suicide three times.

Eden Tobisa: Your body is falling apart, but you still refuse to eat.

Hu Jing: How could I even select which secret to be your motive? Just about everything you've done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is all your fault.

J Moreno (aka. Julia Rosales): Blackmail, rumors, lying, stealing, slander. You did everything you can to ruin your mother's life.

Veronika Grebenschikova: Your best friend died, but you don't remember her at all.

David Chiem: Ever since you kissed him, you were afraid your sexuality would ruin your friendships.

Arturo Giles: No one accepted you because of your identity. You were constantly mocked by your family, your work colleagues, and everyone else. (Note: In this AU, they're genderfluid.)

Levi Fontana: You only took on your talent to distract yourself from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun.

Ace Markey: You always treated the competition with ruthlessness, but poisoning them to win was a bit far, wasn't it?

Min Jeung: You're a murderer and you hold no remorse.

Whit Young: You took on your talent to earn money for your family, but you've since put them in a lifetime of debt.

Cece Elliot (aka. Charles Cuevas): You hid your name and birthright to pretend that you aren't the latest heir of the Cuevas family.

Arei Nageishi: Your mother is dead. You always omit that fact.

Nico Hakobyan: You exist to manipulate others. Everyone else exists to be taken advantage of.

Rose Lacroix: You're constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. It doesn't matter that it's not your fault, just that you didn't go with them.

𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐘𝐋𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐄𝐒 — 𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆 𝒂𝒖

.・゜・。. ┊𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬 💌🎙️

˚. — 𝘉𝘈𝘚𝘐𝘊𝘚 !

𝗡𝗔𝗠𝗘 Tyler Noelle Hughes

𝗔𝗚𝗘 26

𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗗𝗔𝗬 October 9, 1997

𝗕𝗜𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗘 Savannah, Georgia

𝗛𝗘𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧 5’ 8”

𝗘𝗬𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗟𝗢𝗥 Blue

𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗘𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗜𝗠 Megan Moroney

𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧 Mat Barzal

˚. — 𝘍𝘜𝘕 𝘍𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘚 !

Tyler was adopted by Ellen and Jim when she was only a few days old.

Has nothing to do with her birth parents, and never wants to know who they are.

Being 3 years older than he is, Tyler and Quinn are the closest to each other, with Jack and Luke tying for 2nd place. ( though, she often refers to luke had her baby )

Her love language is physical touch. she loves cuddling and hand holding, fidgeting with the fingers of whoever’s hand she’s holding when she’s nervous.

After graduating high school, she was accepted into the University of Georgia, where she went to school for nursing.

All her life, she has wanted be a country music star.

While still at UGA, she opened a concert for Chase Rice, as well as interned for Kristian Bush of Sugarland.

Instead of moving back home after finishing her degree, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 2020 to begin her music career.

She goes home every summer to spend time with her parents and her brothers, alone with the friends that the Hughes boys invited.

She sees all her brother’s friends as little brothers, especially Trever, Mark, Ethan and Jamie.

Even though all three of her brothers play for professional NHL teams, her favorite team is the Philadelphia Flyer, and she has a Hughes crush on Carter Harts despite the one year age difference.

She met Mat Barzal in 2019 at Stagecoach where she was preforming.

The two were best friends for a year before Mat asked her out on a date when she was visiting New York.

They started to date 2020, and decided to keep it out of the public and away from Quinn, Jack and Luke until she’s ready to tell them.

Of course her parents know about the relationship.

Her very best friend in Nashville is Kelsea Ballerini.

She dated Josh Allen, the quarterback from the Buffalo Bills, for 6 months.

Her favorite flower is daisies, having said that roses are too cliche.

She absolutely hates coffee, she’d rather drink hot chocolate.

She learned how to speak a little bit of Swiss so that she could bond with Nico and make him feel somewhat at home.

She tries to make it to hockey games as much as she can for many of the teams (examples; the devils, the canucks, ducks, islanders, and the occasional flyers game just for Carter).

Her favorite tv shows are the vampire diaries, supernatural and teen wolf.

When she is at home, her brothers make sure they all have a day with her to themselves. And on an odd day, one of the other hockey boys staying at the lake house, have a day with her.

Quinn, Luke, and Jack find out about their older sister’s relationship in 2021, almost a year after Tyler and Mat make it official.

Her brothers find out about her and Mat when they surprise her in Tennessee for the first show of her tour, and the Islanders hockey player answers the door while she’s in the shower, thinking it was Kelsea because she was coming over.

Trevor and Jamie knew about the two meeting at stagecoach when they went to support the blonde, but had no idea it had become more than just a friendship.

She has 2 instagram accounts. @/tylerhughes_97 ( her main account ) and @/notreallytyler ( her private account ) that only her closest friends follow.

Her favorite color is red.

She loves sour patch kids.

She loves her fans and touring, but she’s always happiest when she’s back home in Michigan or in New York with Mat.

𝘴𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢𝘩'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘴 : 💭 soo, this is literally the very first time to post something on here, so i’m trying to get the hang of this so be patient with me😅. please, don’t be a silent reader, i want to hear what you guys will want to see in the future!

:💭 ( feel free to send any request of anything that you guys want to see in this series, and the series yet to come. I absolutely would love to make some of your idea’s come to life! )

Younger Siblings Tournament Bracket Reveal

A few things I want to mention before I reveal the bracket (and make the post really long because all the matchups will be listed in text):

Seeding of fictional characters in tumblr polls is inherently subjective. I did try to make it so that more popular characters/media would (most likely) face off against each other in later rounds, but I may be overestimating or underestimating the popularity of some characters/media, especially ones I'm not familiar with. There are some round 1 matchups that are probably a closer match but none of them are between the strongest candidates... I think.

The more niche characters will probably get obliterated in the first round as per Squimbus' Law. This is a tumblr poll and I do fully expect more popular characters to sweep, but that doesn't mean you can't encourage your friends to give your niche faves a fighting chance.

Also there are some matchups I literally just thought would be funny. Please don't take this too seriously.

I'm sorry BNHA fans.

(Preliminary Patch Notes 3/14: Swapped brackets 2 and 3, and brackets 19 and 21.)

What is up with Eden’s secret?

'Ever since you kissed her, you were afraid your sexuality would ruin your friendships.’

This secret feels very mild compared to many of the secrets of the other cast and we do know for certain that this is her secret

Compare this to literally everybody else’s secret:

Arei’s actively exposes her crimes against her sisters, yes they’re assholes but if this secret got out it’s highly like she’d get arrested

2. Ace has an eating disorder directly relating to his profession, putting his in a category I’m gonna call “deeply personal”

3. Nico’s relates to their gender identity and their history of being bullied by their “family, peers, and everyone else” deep seeded insecurity aired on television

I’m not cherry picking these secrets either

here’s a comprehensive list of all the secrets, credited at the bottom

Arei: ‘You’re a murderer, and you hold no remorse.’

Whit: 'You exist to manipulate others. Everyone else exist to be taken advantage of.’

Nico: 'Your body is falling apart, but you’ll still refuse to eat.’

Charles: 'Ever since you kissed her, you were afraid your sexuality would ruin your friendships.’

Arturo: 'You hide your name and birthright to pretend that you aren’t the daughter of Mariabella Rosales.’

Levi: 'Blackmail, rumors, lying, stealing, slander. You did everything you could to ruin your sisters’ lives.’

Xander: 'You always treated the competition with ruthlessness, but poisoning them to win was a bit too far, wasn’t it?’

Min: 'You’re constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. It doesn’t matter that it’s not your fault, just that you didn’t go with them.’

Rose: 'Your mother is dead. You always omit the truth.’

J: 'Your older brother died, but you don’t remember him at all.’

Eden: 'Your younger sister killed herself because of you. You should have never left.’

Hu: 'You only took on your talent to distract from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun.’

Veronika: 'You were quite the hopeless child. Dying once wasn’t enough, so you attempted suicide three times.’

Teruko: 'You took on your talent to earn money for your family. But you’ve since put them in a lifetime of debt.’

Ace: 'No one accepted you because of your identity. You were constantly mocked by your family, your peers, and everyone else.’

David: 'How could I even select what secret to be your motive? Just about everything you’ve done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is all your fault.’ Source: https://a-student-out-of-time.tumblr.com/post/712104310142599168/alright-first-off-does-this-joss-my-theory/amp

So going down the list:

• Murderer? Whoever’s secret that is, is going to prison if they get out

• David’s secret about being a manipulator will absolutely nuke his career, it’s over, finished, done, his entire future as an ultimate is effectively wasted.

•Ace has an eating disorder, which is pretty deeply personal and will have a huge impact on his life considering the entire world knows now.

• J is actively hiding form her mothers fans, hiding her look and staying out of the public eye, that entire life plan is now completely gone, life permanently altered

• Arei could easily end up in prison now that that’s out, legal repercussions

• poisoning competition? Assuming the theory that that could be Min’s she could easily lose her title as ultimate student(assuming she wasn’t already dead) Ultimate status revoked and legal problems

• Xander’s entire family is dead and it reveals how he wishes he could have joined them, reveals he’s contemplated suicide. Deeply personal

• Somebody is in severe denial about the reality of their own life, deep seeded mental problems.

• Charles’ secret was so deeply traumatic, that he repressed it from his memory entirely and has forgotten about an entire person in his life

• Arturo’s secret, holds responsibility for the death of his sister, first time it’s exposed he threatens to murder someone, deeply personal

•self harm-self explanatory, revealed on international TV

•suicide attempts, deeply personal, liable to have repercussions on life

• Rose’s secret is about her forgery underground and how she’s in crippling debt and a slave to them for the rest of her life, legal problems, exploitation take your pick

• Nico’s bullying problems, being outed on international TV, deeply personal

•The secret David received will reveal someone as a notable figure in the creation of this death game, whoever’s secret this is might never make it out of prison

And Eden’s secret is that she’s a lesbian? And that she’s now insecure in her friendships with women?

There HAS to be something else here or she really so the most normal person here

#danganronpa despair time #j rosales #whit young #charles cuevas #levi fontana #teruko tawaki #veronika grebenshchikova #arei nageishi #hu jing #eden tobisa #xander matthews #nico hakobyan #david chiem #rose lacroix #arturo giles #min jeung #ace markey

Note

For everyone in the cast, how are you doing? I mean this both externally and internally, a lot has happened

Answers under the cut as i don't want to put too much in the tags. People who don't want to see the au, just enjoy the drdt fanart, maybe go block my au's specific tags if you really don't want to see :3

Ace; Happy he dodged a bullet by not going to the meal, but still pretty terrified of what's to come. He's always been scared of a lot

Arturo; He's not doing well, but claims he's the best he ever felt - and believes that, too. Everything he does is for Veronika now, nothing is for himself anymore

Arei; One of the people to find David. Pretty terrified, as she did feel bad for him. She also seems to have gotten into a disagreement with Eden, so spends a lot more time with J

???; Ever since she ran away from the meal, her location has been unknown. (Yes, she's alive and not dying.) Apart from Whit, nobody really cares, as they're more focused on David and Arturo.

David; Second worst mental health in the cast, after Arturo. He wouldn't do anything to himself if it threatened his life, but if given the opportunity by someone else...

Eden; The stress of the situation is really getting to her. She seems to be losing her patience with people..

Hu; She still just wants to help everyone, no matter what. Extremely worried about Nico, as she saw them as her family.

J; Doesn't care about Arturo, but worried about Nico. Still can't seem to get over what happened with Veronika.

Levi; Also wants to help, but isn't doing as well as Hu. She isn't particularly worried as she finds it difficult to understand his own emotion

Min; Just trying to distract herself, it's all she has

Nico; Terrified for their life. Constantly hiding, only leaves to get food or a bathroom. They want to stay away from Arturo.

Rose; Tries to sleep a lot of the time. She's been spending time with Levi and Min in hopes that they can create a friendship out of the situation.

Teruko; Her luck seems to have gotten her into a lot of bad situations. Doesn't regret staying here, as even now at least she has her own room and fresh food.

Whit; Trying to stay very positive, but it's difficult when his partner has completely gone missing.

Xander; ???

Hi, if you read this far.. Here's everyone's current location.

Relationship diagram has been updated.. also, nobody noticed the timestamp in the previous post.

Note

I’m not sure if I’m allowed to ask this, since this currently takes place in chapter one. But what would the motive secrets be in this AU?

This is an OOC post! I was originally going to post other questions that involve drawing, but Ibis Paint was RUDE and kept crashing. And since I took a two day break, I think y'all deserve some sneak peaks.

SMALL NOTES: 1. The secrets themselves are mostly the same, just worded differently. A few of them, though, are completely different. 2. Only the canon ones will be shown. I have a few secrets that I believe to fit certain characters, but as of now, I'll only be sharing the canon ones. 3. Many of these topics, much like their canon counterpart, deal with serious issues. Some of these topics include forms of self-harm, eating disorders, mention of suicide, death of family members, etc.

This is a really long post, so I've decided to cut it. ^^

Also! Alexander is not on this list because I personally do not think David was telling the truth. Something in me believes that David was straight up lying when he said that Xander's secret was what it was. ...Maybe I'm just in denial.

THE SECRETS

DAVID: "You exist to manipulate others. Everyone else exists to be a stepping stone."

ACE: "Your body is falling apart, but by now, you've grown numb to it."

EDEN: "Ever since you kissed her, you've avoided her. You think that your crush will ruin your friendship. She just wanted to keep in touch."

JULIA: "You hide your alias to pretend you aren't as disobedient as everyone thinks you are. You are J Moreno."

WHIT: "Your mother is dead, but all you can think about is how your father left you in your time of need."

AREI: “You say you feel bad, but you’ve never admitted to the fact that you framed your sisters for heinous crimes.”

CHARLES: "Your older brother died, yet you deny ever knowing him."

ARTURO: “Your younger sister killed herself because of you. You were too selfish to think about her.”

ROSE: "You still remember your moms' faces when they realized you're the reason for their debt."

NICO: "No one accepted you for who you are, so you just isolated yourself from the outside world. You live in constant ignorance."

Danganronpa Despair Time Foils

TL;DR - The foils of the main cast of the killing game in Danganronpa Despair Time are foreshadowed in the chapter 1 recap video. - Hey hey! As said above, premise is pretty simple. While based on the initial impressions alone not all of these seem to make sense, connections and shared themes can be found between all of the pairings presented in the chapter 1 recap video which is what makes me think they are foils. This is not concrete evidence and you are free to disagree! I'd love to hear others opinions and discourse regarding the topic in the comments. ^^ I will be making more in depth analysis posts on each of these pairings in the future. All screenshots are attributed and credited to the Danganronpa Despair Time channel. Please watch the original video & series as a whole! For some extra clarity:

From Wikipedia Here we go.

Foil #1 - Xander the Rebel & Min the Student

Shared Themes & Topics: Resenting their talents, resenting academia, importance to Teruko Tawaki, red/warm color pallets, pro & anti authority perspectives

Clarifications & Other Notes: They share a relationship of culprit & victim, giving them a unique dynamic in the story. A clear precedent for tension & conflict was set in their dynamic from their first interaction, though until the murder this was minimal.

Foil #2 - Teruko the Lucky Student & Charles the Chemist

Shared Themes & Topics: Distrust, social isolation, amnesia/obscured pasts, Pragmatism, Logic V. Fate Clarifications & Other Notes: Teruko & Charles had opposite upbringings with one being very privileged and the other being borderline or literally homeless. They have butted heads since day one and seem to be going in opposite directions as characters atm. They have had many scenes of direct conflict & tension.

Foil #3 - Eden the Clockmaker & Arei the Bowler

Shared Themes & Topics: Friendship, kindness/cruelty, Hope & Trust, Optimism, Naivety Clarifications & Other Notes: Arei has always been openly antagonistic towards Eden & Eden has expressed very clearly that she wants to get closer to Arei. Arei was devastated by Arei's death and Arei has expressed that Eden is everything she was not allowed to be but deeply desires to be.

Foil #4 - Nico the Pet Therapist & Ace the Jockey

Shared Themes & Topics: Bullying, Anxiety, Neurodivergence (Heavily Implied), Animals, Strength/Control Clarifications & Other Notes: Ace has an explicit history of cruelly bullying Nico while Nico has a confirmed past of being bullied by others for their identity as a non-binary person. Nico has attempted to murder Ace.

Foil #5 - Hu the Zither Player & Veronika the Horror Fanatic

Shared Themes & Topics: S*****e/S**f H**m, Lack of Purpose/Boredom Clarifications & Other Notes: There have been no explicit scenes of tension between the two. It is heavily implied that they have each others secrets. Hu has been portayed as 'motherly' & thoughtful while Veronika has been portrayed as 'childish' & impulsive.

Foil #6 - Rose the Art Forger & J the Effects Artist

Shared Themes & Topics: Identity Issues, Lack of Agency, Troubled Family Relations, Art/Performance Clarifications & Other Notes: There have been no explicit scenes of tension between the two. Rose has lost her passion for her talent while J has stated that she really loves her talent. Both have more powerful figures in their lives which have in some way stripped them of their agency to explore their identity on their own terms.

Foil #7 - Arturo the Plastic Surgeon & Levi the Personal Stylist

Shared Themes & Topics: 'Sinful' pasts, Troubled Family Relationships, Aesthetic/Cosmetic Talents Clarifications & Other Notes: These two have had one scene where there was some light tension & conflict established. Levi is portrayed humble & down to earth while Arturo is portrayed as haughty & excessively prideful. While Arturo's past is not explicitly or literally sinful, it is heavily implied that he subconsciously feels guilty for the death of his younger sister. Levi is heavily implied to have the heartless murderer secret based on the small number of secrets left & his secret quote where he laments over his 'heartlessness'. Both seem to have a tense relationship with their family with Levi having been literally disowned & Arturo seeming to be no contact with his family for one reason or another. Levi's talent focuses on making someone the best version of what they already are while Arturo's focuses on making you into someone else entirely. (Plastic surgery is not literally this but this is how he portrays it.)

Foil #8 - Whit the Matchmaker & David the Inspirational Speaker

Shared Themes & Topics: Optimism, Nihilism, Apathy, Depression, Kindness/Cruelty, Trauma Clarifications & Other Notes: Whit's primary visual motif is hearts while David's is stars. Hearts are essential, intimate & personal while stars are pretty but distant & uninhabitable. David's true nature is cold and uncaring while Whit is portrayed as very empathetic & mindful of others. Both characters seem to struggle in some way with feelings of apathy and nihilism, though they seem to deal with this in very different ways. Whit had David's secret & tried to keep it until he learned his true nature, at which point he remarked that 'his career was in trouble for reasons out of his (whit's) control'. David is intially inviting & kind while Whit is initially somewhat abrasive & insensitive. -

Tysm for reading if you did! I'd love to hear your thoughts down below, as well as any other shared themes/topics you can see applying to any of these characters. Hu & Veronika in particular is a pairing I don't understand super well but would love to hear more about!

Not sure when I'll post the individual analysis posts but I look forward to doing so when I do. Bye bye!

Teruko: Yes he does.

Whit: Yes he does.

Xander: Yes I do.

Eden: Look, I made a friendship bracelet for you!

J: Oh, I’m not really a jewelry person…

Eden: You don’t have to wear it.

J: No, I’m wearing it forever, back off.

Levi: Just yesterday you were crying about snakes.

Ace, terrified: THEY DON’T HAVE ANY ARMS!!!

Hu: Sorry it took me so long to get you out of jail.

Whit: No it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have used my one phone call to prank call the police.

David: Quitting! It’s like trying, but easier!

J: Don’t worry, I have a permit.

Hu: *Inspects it* This just says ‘I can do what I want’.

*At the zoo* Xander: What’re they in for?

David: Xander, this isn’t a prison

Xander: So can they leave?

David: No, but—

Xander, pointing at a meerkat: I bet that one murdered someone.

Teruko: Hey, what’s the name of the guy that lives down the hall?

Nico: His cats’ names are Walter and Rose.

Teruko: That’s not what I asked.

Nico: That’s all the information I have.

Whit: Wow, this parking is as straight as I am!

Charles: I know I should be focused on the fact you just came out, BUT HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY PARKING!

Arei: *Jumps in front of the object Rose is painting* Ha! I jumped in front of your picture, now it’s ruined!

Rose: Arei, this isn’t a photograph. I’m not going to just paint you into my—

Rose: *Realizes she painted Arei onto her canvas* Aw sh—

Eden: *Eating a cinnamon roll*

The Fandom: …Cannibalism.

Eden: *Confused chewing noises*

Arei: Ugh, there’s always that one weak bitch in the group who isn’t down with murder.

Arei: *Glares at J*

J: Well, sorry I have morals!

Ace: I’m proud to say I’ve overcome my fear of ghosts!

Levi: Ah, that’s the spirit!

Ace, jumping into his arms: WHERE?!?

Arturo: Veronika…Why did you draw a pentagram on the floor?

Veronika: Your text told me to satanize the house before you returned.

Arturo:

Arturo: I wrote sanitize, Veronika.

AU where I give the DRDT cast original talents (plus my reasons for these talents)

Teruko Tawaki, the Ultimate Police Officer

(NGL: In addition to my theory of Wolfgang Akire getting a Teruko arc and my mental association between Teruko and Tsurugi Kinjo, the other reason I made Teruko a police officer was because of a Paw Patrol DRDT AU that had Chase as Teruko.)

Xander Matthews, the Ultimate Graphic Novelist

(He'd honestly write some pretty awesome graphic novels, probably centering around awesome adventures of rebellion and vigilantism.)

Eden Tobisa, the Ultimate Petsitter

(I only really gave her this talent due to that one remark she made in the prologue: "Do you think I walk dogs, silly?")

Hu Jing, the Ultimate Kickboxer

(I just love the mental image of a buff yet still chubby Hu who can and will beat someone up.)

J Moreno, the Ultimate Chess Grandmaster

(Just have the Rosales be a high-grade military family with J being groomed to be their best military strategist, only for her to just want to chill and play chess.)

Veronika Grebenshikova, the Ultimate Dollmaker

(She just has "dollmaker"/Jane Doe from "Ride the Cyclone" vibes.)

David Chiem, the Ultimate Part-Time Worker

(Customer service voice. Can also swap the XanVid dynamic by having David be a massive fan of Xander's graphic novels.)

Arturo Giles, the Ultimate Caterer

(Spending his whole life catering to and being surrounded by celebrities? That is Arturo's dream. Would cook the most elaborate and expensive dishes ever.)

Levi Fontana, the Ultimate Undertaker

(Maybe the indifference that comes from years of dealing with dead bodies could tie into both Levi's struggles with being seen as "heartless", despite wanting to be helpful, and Levi's friendship with the talentswapped Ace.)

Ace Markey, the Ultimate Paranormal Investigator

(A cowardly yet competent paranormal investigator is a character prompt that's too much comic gold to pass up. Also, see Levi's prompt above.)

Min Jeung, the Ultimate Archer

(I decided to swap Min's academic talent for an athletic talent, and found that archery would fit the focused and stoic Min. Also, Mafuyu Asahina.)

Whit Young, the Ultimate Model

(It's the Adrien Agreste energy. Also based around my theory that Kai and Diana would act like Whit figures for Damon, and decided to give Whit a talent that combines both Kai and Diana's talents.)

Charles Cuevas, the Ultimate Debater

(It's the Damon Maitsu energy.)

Arei Nageishi, the Ultimate News Reporter

(What better way to ruin people's lives then to dig up dirt on them and then put them on blast, on national television?)

Nico Hakobyan, the Ultimate Robotics Engineer

(Just swap out their love and understanding for animals with a love and understanding towards machines. Possible Entrapta kin.)

Rose Lacroix, the Ultimate Street Performer

(She would most likely take up busking, in order to support her family. I could easily picture her pulling multiple party tricks out of nowhere, wowing everybody around her.)

//Alright, first off, does this Joss my theory about Arei and J switching places? Nope, I’m still convinced

//In fact, I’m even more convinced than I was last week, but for that, I wanna take you on a deep dive through everything that’s happened

(Just a heads up, this involves discussions about suicide, self-harm, eating disorders and murder)

//First of all, let’s address the elephant in the room here: everyone’s secrets. MonoTV arranged them by order of who received them, not whose they are:

//If you have trouble reading this, here’s all of them written out:

Arei: 'You're a murderer, and you hold no remorse.'

Whit: 'You exist to manipulate others. Everyone else exist to be taken advantage of.'

Nico: 'Your body is falling apart, but you'll still refuse to eat.'

Charles: 'Ever since you kissed her, you were afraid your sexuality would ruin your friendships.'

Arturo: 'You hide your name and birthright to pretend that you aren't the daughter of Mariabella Rosales.'

Levi: 'Blackmail, rumors, lying, stealing, slander. You did everything you could to ruin your sisters' lives.'

Xander: 'You always treated the competition with ruthlessness, but poisoning them to win was a bit too far, wasn't it?'

Min: 'You're constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. It doesn't matter that it's not your fault, just that you didn't go with them.'

Rose: 'Your mother is dead. You always omit the truth.'

J: 'Your older brother died, but you don't remember him at all.'

Eden: 'Your younger sister killed herself because of you. You should have never left.'

Hu: 'You only took on your talent to distract from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun.'

Veronika: 'You were quite the hopeless child. Dying once wasn't enough, so you attempted suicide three times.'

Teruko: 'You took on your talent to earn money for your family. But you've since put them in a lifetime of debt.'

Ace: 'No one accepted you because of your identity. You were constantly mocked by your family, your peers, and everyone else.'

David: 'How could I even select what secret to be your motive? Just about everything you've done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is all your fault.'

//There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s go one by one with what we know, and we can extrapolate who the rest are.

//Easy ones: J is the daughter of Mariabella Rosales, Nico is Nonbinary and was mocked for it, Rose accidentally buried her family under a mountain of debt, Charles’ brother is dead and Arei got her sisters sent to reform school through all those tactics. We can also assume that, because they’re not around, Xander’s and Min’s secrets were flipped

//That’s already seven down. Now we can eliminate the obvious ones:

Arei: 'You're a murderer, and you hold no remorse.'

Whit: 'You exist to manipulate others. Everyone else exist to be taken advantage of.'

Nico:'Your body is falling apart, but you'll still refuse to eat.'

Charles: 'Ever since you kissed her, you were afraid your sexuality would ruin your friendships.'

Rose:'Your mother is dead. You always omit the truth.'

Eden: 'Your younger sister killed herself because of you. You should have never left.'

Hu: 'You only took on your talent to distract from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun.'

Veronika: 'You were quite the hopeless child. Dying once wasn't enough, so you attempted suicide three times.'

David: 'How could I even select what secret to be your motive? Just about everything you've done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is all your fault.'

//For that, I must draw your attention to everyone’s hidden quotes, which are hidden in the HTML code of DT’s tumblr site, arranged into this master post here courtesy of @despairing-disaster all are relevant here:

//To me, along with my previous theories about Ace attempting to hang himself, leads me to believe his is that he’s already attempted suicide three times. Which...really puts a new perspective on his not wanting to be the butt monkey

//The fact that Whit seems to think very highly of his mother, dyed his hair to look like hers, and has this weirdly cavalier attitude toward death leads me to believe that his mother is actually dead. The fact that he always omits the truth makes me think he’s also really broken up by it all

//This, plus Levi’s scene with Eden at the start of this chapter, lead me to believe that he’s the one whose sister committed suicide. Likely because he cut ties with them and left her with, as he described, a horribly toxic family.

//The self-harming one doesn’t even need a hidden quote, because I’m certain that’s Veronika. She’s not only weird things, she also gets bored easily and longs for stimulation, as she made clear to Teruko last episode. The title of Ultimate Horror Fanatic is very odd as well. Plus, look at her design:

//Both her arms, legs and her entire body are covered. Chances are she’s hiding a ton of self-harm scars under there, given the nature of that secret

//That’s another four down

Arei: 'You're a murderer, and you hold no remorse.'

Whit: 'You exist to manipulate others. Everyone else exist to be taken advantage of.'

Nico: 'Your body is falling apart, but you'll still refuse to eat.'

Charles: 'Ever since you kissed her, you were afraid your sexuality would ruin your friendships.'

David: 'How could I even select what secret to be your motive? Just about everything you've done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is all your fault.'

//Let’s be real, that last one can’t be anyone but Teruko ^^;

//That leaves us with the final four. But for a summary, here’s how all the motives we know and I’m sure of should’ve been arranged:

Arei: Blackmail, rumors, lying, stealing, slander. You did everything you could to ruin your sisters' lives.

Whit: Your mother is dead. You always omit the truth.

Nico: No one accepted you because of your identity. You were constantly mocked by your family, your peers, and everyone else.

Charles: Your older brother died, but you don't remember him at all.

Levi: Your younger sister killed herself because of you. You should have never left.

Xander: You're constantly blaming yourself for the death of your parents and siblings. It doesn't matter that it's not your fault, just that you didn't go with them.

Min: You always treated the competition with ruthlessness, but poisoning them to win was a bit too far, wasn't it?

Rose: You took on your talent to earn money for your family. But you've since put them in a lifetime of debt.

J: You hide your name and birthright to pretend that you aren't the daughter of Mariabella Rosales.

Veronika: You only took on your talent to distract from your incessant need to harm yourself for fun.

Teruko: How could I even select what secret to be your motive? Just about everything you've done in your life is worth killing for. The killing game is all your fault.

Ace: You were quite the hopeless child. Dying once wasn't enough, so you attempted suicide three times.

//That leaves just four secrets and four people to assign to them: David, Arturo, Hu and Eden. Our options are that these four are made up of a murderer, a manipulator, a closeted lesbian/bisexual and someone with an eating disorder/degenerative disease

//Let’s get the obvious out of the way first: whoever’s in the closet has to be a girl, given the phrasing. I’m gonna say it’s most likely Hu, given how quick she was to come to Nico’s defense and how she wanted it revealed as late as possible. I was worried she might be the murderer, but her hidden quote makes that unlikely:

//It was specified the murderer has no remorse. This is a clear demonstration of remorse, and likely for something else entirely.

//Maybe Eden is the killer or manipulator? To which I say, that’s ridiculous. Eden’s role in the story has been as the beacon of hope through all this, and was the one to move Teruko’s heart with her speech about optimism. Her being the killer would be surprising, sure, but would it actually be good writing? I don’t think so.

//Yes, it’s possible that she’s the manipulator, but I can’t see that simply because this chapter is very clearly leaning on the fact that Teruko’s inability to trust people is going to be a hindrance more than an advantage. Having the one person who’s always tried to befriend her be a liar and manipulator just feels wrong from a writing perspective.

//Instead, because she once said she spends over half a day working on clocks, I think it’s more likely that she’s the one who has the disorder/disease. Her body is falling apart on some level, and it might explain why she’s so short.

//One of the symptoms of chronic malnutrition is stunted growth. It also wouldn’t fit Hu, given that she’s pretty shapely. True, body mass doesn’t always equate with physical health, but the fact that it specifies “your body is falling apart” suggests that it’s someone smaller and thinner.

//So that leaves our last two: David and Arturo, and odds are that one’s a murder and one’s a manipulator. And at last, I can return to my theory about Arei and J.

//Yeah, no wonder she looks so horrified

//But here’s a the thing: Arturo and David are both good candidates either of these secrets. Their quotes don’t make it exceptionally clear either.

//Both of these are good candidates if you wanna look at them, and if you analyze their talent and behavior throughout these chapters, it could go either way.

//Arturo could be a murderer who killed ugly people, making him literally Dr. Steinman from Bioshock, or he could be a con artist who scams celebrities, hence why he only operates on them.

//Likewise, David could use his status as an inspirational speaker to either manipulate the hell out of people (which he’s done throughout this chapter) or he’s covering up the fact that he killed someone. Either way, the irony is that Xander’s idol is exactly the kind of person he’d take a stand against.

//But more to the point, no matter who it is, Arei knows who they are, since everyone’s names are on the motive secret letters. Arei went into the playground meeting with David knowing he’s either a liar or a murderer.

//Why is that relevant? Well, now that we can take a closer look at the body, consider this interesting detail that @tophats-tea was kind enough to point out in their own theory.

//This is Arei’s hair normally, from the start of the chapter. Notice how it comes to a stop halfway down her neck?

//Take a look at her hair in the victim reveal:

//Her hair hasn’t come undone, you can still see the braid on the other side. Even if it was, the hair on the right side still hands freely, and you can clearly see it comes down much further, even past her shoulders

//There were only four days between the motive reveal and the BDA. Nobody’s hair grows that fast. Not to mention there was no attention brought to this fact, nor to her face. The only details anyone specified were that her neck was broken and that her wrists had irritation marks on them from some kind of binding.

//And who was the only people who really examined the body in detail? Teruko, who we’ve learned may have prosopagnosia, and Arturo, one of our two potential murderers. That’s it. Nobody else looked closely at her face, just that they were looking for specific death details.

//And that brings me to J, who had some prominence in this episode as well. She was selected as one of the guards to make sure nobody tampers with evidence, and then she had these questions for Teruko.

//These are funny and all, but they’re colorful enough that I’d actually expect them from Arei instead of J.

//It’s curious too, because one could say that it was only possible that J could’ve known that Teruko pulled a knife on her, unless she told Arei or she heard that Teruko did the same with Charles. Either way, that news would get around.

//And for the record, take a look at J’s hair

//It’s so short that it seems easy to hide under a wig that long. Arturo and Teruko wouldn’t have thought to check under it, hence why they likely didn’t notice.

//There was also the interesting detail that J was the one who asked when it was the last time everyone saw Arei, and they all say it was at noon yesterday. But at no point does she specify if she saw her anywhere or not. Everyone glossed over that detail.

//And of course, if my theory is correct, that means Arei approached J knowing either the plastic surgeon that’s been hounding J or the person she just traumadumped to is actually a murderer, which suggests two possibilities:

//Either Arei was the one who offered to switch places with J to try and protect her, or J was the one who suggested it to Arei. And I’m starting to suspect it might be the latter.

//Because consider this: if Arturo were the murderer, why would he target Arei? While Arei likes J, I don’t know if I can consider them close enough for him to actually, for example, feel threatened by her presence.

//But David? He’s actually got a damn good reason to try and target Arei, having made up his secret about depression and was the one who encouraged her to be a kinder person. Which, if this is true, suggests that Arei knew he was full of shit and as a murder, or she saw right through him as a manipulator.

//While I still think what she said about her sister and Eden were all genuine, this is also Arei we’re talking about; a girl who’s motive was about lies and manipulation.

//And that suggests David was planning to target her, but instead, he captured and killed someone who was dressed as her.

//The other key player in all this is Eden, the person who apparently made up with Arei off screen, and was happy to elaborate, but Teruko didn’t care. And throughout these last few episodes, it seems like Eden has been trying to work with Teruko, maybe get her alone for just a couple minutes to talk, but Teruko’s blown her off every time

//You know what I think? Arei clued Eden on who the murder is, and she’s trying to let Teruko know. Why do I think that? Because of Arei’s quotes, both public and hidden:

//These two quotes have been at the forefront of all these theories, and with every episode, they feel more and more relevant.

//Not to mention, and this from a Doylist perspective, but the fact that Arei’s only really had two big scenes so far this chapter. She strangled MonoTV with the rope, she had that big emotional episode in the playground...and then she was basically off-screen until she died. That feels like a waste to me; even Hibiki got more development than that, and anyone who’s followed me for a while will know how much I hated how dirty she was done.

//I’m not simply wishing for Arei to be alive because I like her as a character. I’m saying it because she received so much narrative emphasis and there’s so much going on involving her this chapter that it feels like a waste for her just to be dead. Not unless they’re gearing up to a big reveal

//And with how things are seeming to play out, my initial theory that Arei wanted to protect J might actually be that J wanted to protect her instead.

//The final detail I want to discuss for this is the note Rose and Teruko found in the trash.

//The only details I could really get out of this were “friend” “than ever” and “7:30.″ A meeting definitely went on at some point, and odds are it involved Arei and either J or Eden.

//Rather than discrediting my theory, this episode has actually given me more ammo to suggest this is actually the reveal we’re gearing up toward. And I for one am excited.

//So yes, thank you for reading this long-ass rant, stick around for more theories if you wish ^^;
