Hey Minmo, you got any predictions for who's gonna make it to the end in DR 2x2?
I talk about it here a little bit LINK and I don't know if my opinions have changed much after 🤔 I'm kind of an echo chamber of other people's theories but I can go more in depth about it now since I've let it simmer for half a year
Since it's a different team and writers making the game I don't know if they will use similar narrative twists that the original dr team use butttt
One very popular theory is that Hajime is going to die either during the killing of Monomi in prologue or during the first murder (we haven't had a protag die as a victim yet and since we know they don't have plot armor it could be a possibility) in the first chapter of every main dr game something always goes wrong with the murder plan so it could be even an accident. I would be very sad if he dies though, I just completed the second game again and I really appreciate his character arc
It could be possible that Nagito or Chiaki takes his place then (although Chiaki knows too much so not sure if that is the best option) which could be interesting! But I'd still be sad
I really want to see Twogami live longer or until the end!
I would also love to see Mikan live until the end to see more about her relationship and dialogue with Junko
And for my gf's sake I hope Fuyuhiko and Peko still have their relationship going on
I can see Mahiru surviving....she has that Hina vibe to her, I'm not really happy about that, so I hope it's not the case
But uhhhh, actual (probably biased) predictions....
Survivors: Hiyoko, Peko, Twogami, Gundham, and the protag (whoever it is)
I think Fuyuhiko and Peko are going to switch places (Peko lives and Fuyuhiko dies) which could be quite juicy that they have to deal with never surviving or dying together. I'm thinking a lot about the last chapter with these. Twogami meeting Byakuya would be hilarious and Hiyoko having a reaction to her own grown up image is interesting. Gundham is there because I am biased and I love him and because there is in my opinion a lot of possibilities so I just took the one I want to see
Killers: Nekomaru, Sonia, Mahiru, Kazuichi, Teruteru
I try to approach this from the angle of who is capable of it mentally and would the killing technique or obstructing evidence be interesting based on their talents
Victims: Ibuki, either Nagito or Hajime, Chiaki, Mikan, Akane
I looked at this with characters that would be shocking to die, are easier to overpower, or do not have that much going on with their character (although those can be survivors as well because usually narrative importance in dr games means you are an active character in a murder case)
