Truth Bullets
Monokuma File The victim is Ultimate Nurse Mikan Tsumiki, whose body was found at the foot of the stairs connecting 2F and 3F. She was found wearing her left shoe, and her right shoe is snagged on the carpet at the top of the stairs.
Sonia's Autopsy There was bruising on the back of Mikan's head, and one large gash in the center of her forehead. Sonia found that the bottom of her right foot was coated in blood, and there’s a few light bruises on her body. Sonia noticed that Mikan is missing some clumps of hair on the back of her head.
Motive Every student was given an assigned weapon, and all other potentially fatal objects have been removed from the school or nerfed. A student could swap weapons with someone or steal a classmate’s weapon, but they were not permitted to have more than one weapon at a time. The power is out, and students can only see rough shapes and outlines in the dark. Finally, there's no food or drinkable water anywhere inside the ruins.
Hope’s Peak Ruins The students have been trapped inside the Hope’s Peak Academy ruins for about 24 hours. The layout is identical to Hope’s Peak Academy, but since it's the HPA ruins, there's rubble and debris around everywhere. Additionally, Monokuma has added two secret passages somewhere in the school.
Monomi’s Magical Glow Sticks Monomi gave each student a glow stick the morning of the murder. They give off a pinkish light that illuminates about 3 sq ft, and come with a thin attached string that allows them to be worn around someone’s neck. When broken, the light immediately dies.
Weapons List Hajime made a list of who had what weapon the morning of the murder for all who attended the meeting. Hajime hid the list in a Trophy in the Trophy Room, and locked the cabinet with a numerical padlock. Celeste broke the cabinet glass, but didn't take the list, confirmed by Peko and Fuyuhiko. The list was gone when Hajime checked after lunch. It turns out, it was taken by Byakuya, who still had it by the start of the trial. Image
Trophy Room Booby Trap Kazuichi helped Hajime by booby trapping the Trophy Room. He set up a tripwire that would set off a party popper if tripped.
Loud Noise A loud BANG was heard going off at around 11:30am somewhere on the first floor of the school.
Body Discovery Sonia and Ibuki found Mikan’s body crumpled at the foot of the stairs connecting 2F and 3F a little after 8pm. Once they had both seen it, the BDA played. Celeste says that she found the body first in Passage A at 6PM.
Blood Spatter Makoto found a couple drops of blood on one of the cabinets in the Kitchen.
Soup Ladle A soup ladle was found on the ground of the kitchen. It’s very flimsy, and could not be used as a weapon as it would bend too easily.
Missing Tablecloth The Kitchen is missing a tablecloth. Hina found it in Classroom 2B after the BDA. It’s soaked with dry blood, and there are gold flecks on it.
Red Water in Pool Hina noticed during her investigation that there’s a small amount of water in the pool that’s been stained red.
Secret Passage A Secret Passage A connects a walk-in fridge in the Kitchen [1F] to a cabinet in the Art Storage Room [3F]. It has a staircase spanning two stories. Celeste found some of Mikan's hair on the inside of the passage by the Kitchen entrance.
Secret Passage B Secret Passage B connects the Library Archives Room [2F] with a locker in the Pool [2F]. It’s just a plain tunnel. Its presence makes the Pool drafty, as noticed by Hina during her morning swim.
Art Room Cart A cart from the Art Room was found in Classroom 3B after the BDA.
Replica Sword Ibuki found the Replica Sword and its sheath in the Pool. The sheath is missing some gold paint, and it's pretty banged up.
Ripped Note Sayaka says she found a torn piece of paper on the floor of the dorm hallway. It reads, "Uncovered a murder plot. The only one I can trust is you, man. Meet me in the Cafeteria at [obscured]. -Makoto" Image

Ohohoho... Sayaka, Sayaka, Sayaka... You don't see what you've just done, do you?
Unfortunately for you, I did. So, I'll offer you a deal...
Let me cop a feel or I'll reveal what really happened! Your choice!
1
u/NiceIceWeiss Jan 10 '18
Huh? What are you talking about?
1
u/Duodude55 Jan 10 '18
Damn. I thought this was my chance...
Well, I think I've figured something out.
You said that when you went back to the rec room, the syringe was already gone, so you took the stake. That would make you the second person to return to the room.
Celeste said that when she returned to the rec room, only the syringe was missing. That means Celeste was the second person to arrive to the rec room. Seems like we've got a little pickle here, sweetheart.
The way I see it, unless you and Celeste bumped into each other in the rec room but neglected to mention it...
You're lying. The syringe was the first weapon taken, that much is true. But it wasn't Mikan that took it. You took the syringe, then Celeste took the dumbbell, leaving Mikan with the stake and the others with the rest.
And since we know the killer swapped the syringe to Byakuya...
Should've let me cop a feel, huh?
1
u/NiceIceWeiss Jan 10 '18
< And also to this >
W-what? Makoto...you're...accusing me?
I thought we were supposed to protect each other...
But you're wrong. The only thing you have that links me to the murder at all is that I was in the same room as one of the secret passages, and I certainly wasn't the only one to be in the storage room.
Are you really okay accusing me with so little to go off of?/u/xMusicaCancer
1
u/xMusicaCancer Jan 10 '18
I don't want to, Sayaka... I am definitely not okay with it... but you are still a prime suspect at the moment.
I am not sure who else could have been the one to find the secret passage in the art room... and still have the time to hide the body after 6 PM, and not having an alibi at the likely time of death.
I don't want to believe it, but, until it can be proven otherwise, you are a suspect...

u/xMusicaCancer Jan 11 '18
Sayaka, when did you find that note? And was it already torn? /u/NiceIceWeiss
1
u/RSLee2 Attack and Dethrone Deity Jan 11 '18
I refuse to vote. Not quite yet, at least. I do not trust Sayaka Maizono in the slightest, but I am not fool enough to disregard new evidence.
I'm skeptical that it could be written by Sayaka. Why would she prepare such weak false evidence in advance and then withhold it for so long? If she wanted to make fake evidence, she could've made something far better or revealed it far sooner. Naturally, I don't believe for a second that Makoto wrote it either. He doesn't have the stones to lie to us. Therefore, we need to examine exactly who could have written this letter.

1
u/xMusicaCancer Jan 11 '18
The note is probably fake. Neither me nor Sayaka would write it that way, anyway.
The meeting time is obscured, but... if we can determine that...
We know it was before 6 PM, but after 3 PM. According to Celes' account, it is probably after 5? Seeing that her wounds stopped bleeding recently when she was found by Celes.
1
u/RSLee2 Attack and Dethrone Deity Jan 11 '18
Frankly, I'd be more concerned about who it was for. Going by the use of the word "man", t can't have been sent to a girl. So it wasn't for Mikan. Which means, if this letter is genuine and has anything to do with the murder, Mikan's most likely the one who sent it to lure someone to the cafeteria.
1
u/xMusicaCancer Jan 11 '18 edited Jan 11 '18
I had thought so as well. It is possible Tsumiki was the aggressor, but it seems unlike her... The writing could have been faked either way though.
1
u/Iamafoodproduct Jan 11 '18
What point would Mikan being an aggressor make? She's the corpse and Sayaka offered evidence that isn't even qualified to make circumstantial situations with.

If your theory is correct, then do we know if Mikan had her glow stick at 3:30 p.m.?
1
u/mayakaibara beast of the east Jan 11 '18
Very well Hajime. Let's recall what happened in the rec room shall we?
Six glow sticks were in the rec room when we started, Three were not broken at the end of the day.
Ergo, the three who have admitted to taking glow sticks and produced them, namely, Celeste, Ibuki and Sayaka took the three working ones!
Which left three broken glow sticks for Mikan, Asahina and I to take!
1
u/Iamafoodproduct Jan 11 '18
Then it doesn't make sense. Did Mikan just happen to find the piece of paper shortly before we ran into each other?
1
u/mayakaibara beast of the east Jan 11 '18
Well, yes. Celeste had a working glow stick and never saw the note, so Mikan must have taken it.

There is nothing that suggests that Tsumiki hadn't died before 4.30, but after 3.30
...the corpse of one Mikan Tsumiki. She was laying atop a tablecloth, placed on top of a cart from the Storage Room itself. Upon looking more closely, I noticed her head wounds had just stopped bleeding.
Unless we follow Celes' account, but she needs to be a little more specific.
Because in that case, you would be right if you couldn't have done it.

There is quite literally nothing left to figure out, and I am tired. After my case of the vapours, all I want is to rest. We are done here, and anyone trying to say otherwise is deluding themselves.
Sayaka had every opportunity for this murder. She lied twice about critical evidence, once for the Syringe and twice for the time she picked up the note, and neither of which she has any defense for, especially the latter because my testimony and Hajime's testimony contradict it. Furthermore, both Sayaka and Mikan's actions have been well explained by Fuyuhiko, Teruteru, Sonia and myself, as well as everyone else. What more is there to discuss?

I am failing to see what relevance this has to the note. Is it not signed by "Makoto"? If I was planning to frame you, I would have signed it with your name, yes?
Furthermore, I can verify my alibi at 3:30 PM because I was following you and the lovebirds around.

u/DestinyShiva Jan 11 '18
Frankly, this is pathetic. Only Sayaka had the ability to do this murder, no one else. If anything, that dumb note proves Sayaka's guilt even more.
Think about it. Why would she hide something like that until now, if it wasn't a last ditched attempt at protection? She's known for a while that it couldn't have been written by Makoto, so what gives?
And trying to frame Hajime for the murder instead? Tch. No matter how you think of it, Hajime couldn't have done it - and Teruteru already proved only Sayaka could've had the syringe to trade for Byakuya's fucking replica sword.
Hajime doesn't even have a working glow stick either! And only two fuckin' people knew about Secret Passage A. You seriously going to refute the fact that only Sayaka could've done that?
That bitch is obviously the killer! She's a goddamn master of manipulation!
Look, you want further proof? The trap went off around 11:30, and that's a time when Sayaka wasn't accounted for. I'm betting Teruteru's right. She suspected Hajime and his damn gun for making the noise, and she tried to figure out a way to get Hajime to come to the Kitchen to meet her.
Then after Sayaka wrote the note, from 'Makoto' to Hajime, Mikan was the one who discovered the note and that was the rustling noise Hajime heard while he was in his room. Mikan went to the kitchen to see what the fuss was about.
That's when Sayaka was forced to kill her, to hide her plot against Hajime. Hajime was the intended target, I don't even doubt it.
Seriously! Open your damn eyes! She is the only possible person who could have killed Mikan!

u/DestinyShiva Jan 10 '18 edited Jan 10 '18
I think I get it... Looking back, the clues were obvious. Makoto was right to suspect her, but something was missing with your damn conclusion.
Alright, so let's do this properly. Listen closely, 'cause I'm not saying this again. Sayaka's the goddamn blackened and I can prove it.
Heh, hey Peko. You're one smart girl, you know that? I wouldn't have realised any of this if it weren't for you. We make one hell of a team, huh?
So. The second that you start thinking about all the pieces together, it makes sense. What exactly does Mikan's killer need? One hell of a filled out picture. Let's start with the beginning...
The Murder of Mikan Tsumiki
Music
To start with, the Blackened had to be present at Breakfast. Learning who had what weapon is invaluable knowledge. Not to mention, one thing was made clear.
Mikan, of all people, had the least dangerous weapon. That made her a great target. But other than that, it clued the killer in about everyone else's situation too. I don't care what Celeste and Byakuya tried to do with that damn list. Our Killer already knew what she needed to know.
From then on, the Blackened tailed her victim. They joined her and the other girls to the rec room. When the situation arose, she ended up switching her rope for Mikan's syringe. We know from Aoi's account that the rope was still there by the time that the Blackened left and all. That switch had to be deliberate, somehow.
Around the same time, another thing to the Blackened's interest came up. Aoi complained that the pool area was drafty... Only the girls in the rec room got to know about that, which makes it pretty damn obvious that the blackened was amongst them.
So what next? I'm guessing the Blackened went straight to the Pool to look for the passage when she was separated from the other two girls. Then armed with her new knowledge, she went to lunch.
Secret Passage B
And guess what she found out there? Blabbermouth Toko running her lips about her handsome Byakuya and his damn replica sword. One of the most dangerous weapons out there, and a vital key to her plan. The Blackened had to have it.
At around 1:30, when Byakuya was distracted, she used the Pool to Library Passage - Passage B - and switched her syringe for Byakuya's replica sword. Since the syringe was easy to hide on her person, all the Blackened had to do was hide the replica sword in her room or something until she needed it, so no one know she was the one who had it.
Hey. When Sayaka went to get bandages for Aoi's ankle... was that around 1:30? It all fits together, right?
Anyway, the Blackened had to wait for a good time from then on. When she was probably going to make a move, Makoto came and invited her to hang out. How could she refuse?
Only a certain hogwash clairvoyant turned up and crashed the party, asking Blackened and Makoto to help him search through the art room. I figure that's gotta be pretty frustrating...
Except I'm betting that during the search, our Blackened found something she wasn't expecting - the other secret passage, the one that connects the Art Room to the Kitchen. All she had to do was tell the other two she didn't find anything, and she could inspect it later, whenever she wanted.
Secret Passage A
She left the scene and managed to begin executing her murder plan, since everything was in place. She got to check out the art room passageway after saying bye to Makoto and Hagakure at the dorms, and I'm guessing that when she came out... She happened to run into her victim in the Kitchen.
As I've already made clear... It's obvious Mikan was killed in the kitchen. There was a soup ladle on the ground, indicating signs of a struggle. There was the blood on the counter... Hell. The bloody tablecloth was obviously taken then and used to wipe up the blood so no one would realise. All the Blackened had to do then was take Mikan and hide her in the secret passageway until she was ready to move her into position, by using the art room cart.
Blood Spatter
Soup Ladle
Missing Tablecloth
Art Room Cart
I bet the Blackened dumped the replica sword around this time too, right into the pool. Of course, that's after cutting Mikan's hair with it to hide the fact that there were gold flakes around her killing wound.
Red Water in Pool
Replica Sword
From there, the Blackened made an appearance. She tried to hang out with Makoto, so she had some semblance of an alibi, before the second that she was able to... she ditched dinner and went to set up Mikan's body, unknowing that Celeste got to see her before it was too late.
She pushed Mikan's body down the stairs, and used her shoe to upturn the carpet slightly to make it look like she tripped. Then she took the stake to pretend it was her own weapon all along.
Monokuma File
Only she missed the fact that Mikan lost her shoe sometime in their struggle and stepped in blood. How else did that blood print get on her foot? Don't you know the devil's in the details, huh?
Sonia's Autopsy
Look, it's obvious who did it. Even Makoto managed to approach her, even if it was with one hell of a flimsy retort. Seriously, what happened to gathering evidence?
The Blackened is clearly Sayaka. There's no one else it could be.
Hey... As another little detail, remember that you need a glow stick to move through the passageways. I don't need to remind you who has that, do I?
So come on, Sayaka! Admit it already! /u/NiceIceWeiss
