Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/08/2026

This week in the comments

This week runs entirely on speculation about who's dying next and who'll fill which role, with zero new official info: the tone stays playful and enthusiastic, fueled by increasingly wild death-order theories.

Nagito, still first on the chopping block (in our heads)

A large chunk of this week's comments bet on Nagito dying in chapter 1, mixing jokes with genuine dread. A running fear that's been around for a while now.

Casting call for the next rival

Peko, Fuyuhiko, Mahiru, Akane, the Imposter… everyone has a theory for who replaces Nagito as rival if he dies early. A very active and creative debate this week.

« Fuyuhiko could be an interesting rival, especially if Peko dies early as a victim rather than a culprit. Imagine the monumental crashout instead of his redemption. Akane as rival might seem far-fetched but has potential: her intuition in DR2 could make for an antagonist guided by instinct rather than logic. »

The overlooked ones demand their spotlight

Many hope to see Mahiru, Hiyoko, Ibuki or Twogami finally get real development and/or survive, after arcs seen as rushed in the original.

Protagonist swap: Chiaki or Mahiru?

If Hajime dies early, some fans picture Chiaki (as a self-aware AI) or Mahiru stepping in as protagonist, each offering a different narrative angle.

Teruteru: the fear he survives too long

A recurring joke this week: the dread of Teruteru surviving past chapter 1, a well-established community running gag.

Top reactions and controversies

The permanent anxiety: who's dying this time?

Dominant take
25 %

Since the announcement, the number one preoccupation has stayed the same: guessing who survives, dies or kills in the new scenario, fueled by the promise of "new victims and culprits".

« Chunsoft literally made a post saying they don't care if a character is a fan favorite. They'll kill them off anyway! And they put a picture of MY Nagito 😭 »
— @ElPaume1 · ♥ 117 · translated · see original ↗

The return of the original voice cast, a collective joy

Dominant take
14 %

The announcement that ALL English and Japanese voice actors are reprising their roles after over a decade sparked a massive wave of nostalgia and gratitude, nearly drowning out any criticism.

« Super glad that Johnny Yong Bosch came back as Hajime, it wouldn't be the same without him. »

The game's delay: general patience despite frustration

Controversy
10 %

68 % Better to wait for a polished game 32 % Frustrated by the prolonged silence

Does 2x2 betray V3's ending?

Controversy
8 %

A recurring debate pits those who see 2x2 as a legitimate, creative continuation against those who feel it undercuts V3's final message about ending killing games.

64 % It's a legitimate continuation, the universe is flexible enough 36 % It betrays the meaning of V3's ending},

Yasuhiro, the eternal demo victim

Dominant take
6 %

Now an unavoidable running gag: Hagakure dies in every Danganronpa demo for years running, and 2x2 is no exception, to everyone's amusement.

« Yasuhiro forever will be the punching bag for demos 😭 »
