Thereâs one more thing that I think most people overlook when they say Ouma is âcanonically a clownâ, and itâs this:
Nowhere is it even stated that thatâs the case.
All you have is Monokumaâs commentary about the âmayhemâ that DICE cause being âpetty crimesâ. Thus, the damage the group caused was minimal, and that was part of their code, the other part being well, Donât Kill Anyone.Â
...Which is an odd motto for a group hypothetically centred around laughable crimes to have, because itâd be in the job description anyway. Saying âdonât killâ to a professional prankster is like telling a botanist not to cut the stem of the plant or itâll split, like no shit, Sherlock. I hardly think Oumaâs top team are stupid.
Then if you please, there are some extremely suspicious items in Oumaâs lab, at least one of which Shuichi has noted to actually be unsettling.
Gas masks, handcuffs, canisters...
...Some secure looking briefcases or something of the sort...
...a car, and a screen thatâs left turned on for some reason. All of this is in an underground bunker, along with that research book on Hopeâs Peak.
The main thing Shuichi is saying is that the lab isnât suitable for a Supreme Leader. But... is it really suitable for a clown, either?
