Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 01/10/2026

This week in the comments

One topic swallowed the week: the reveal of the 17th student's name and voice cast, with ~560 comments collected. The mood is jokey and excited, and the community near-unanimously refuses to drop its "John Danganronpa" nickname.

Sakutaro Higashi? Nope, it's John

~45% of this week's comments reject the official name in favour of the nickname, endlessly repeated, sometimes in a mock "deadnaming" tone. A few voices (~3%) welcome having an official name, but the meme clearly wins.

Griffin Burns: Childe/Tartaglia crashes Jabberwock Island

~18% of the week centres on the English voice, which commenters recognise as Tartaglia's from Genshin Impact. Endless "Fatui Harbinger" and "Mr Worldwide" gags, plus some sincere praise.

No pronouns: the non-binary theory

New this week: ~3% of comments notice the deliberate lack of pronouns in the announcement and hope for a non-binary character. A handful also admit they assumed a girl before learning "it's a guy".

« I love the deliberate omission of pronouns, we may actually be getting an enby Danganronpa character??? 🤯 »

First victim already predicted, talent unknown

~6% of comments bet on an early death ("first victim", "dead before trial 1"), while others guess a talent: detective, lawyer, sailor. The community's prediction reflex is intact.

→ see "Who lives, who dies?", a staple since February
Ryota Mitarai, the big loser

~3% of comments admit they guessed wrong or gloat about calling it: many expected Ryota Mitarai, absent from the base game. A mix of disappointment and "told you so".

Top reactions and controversies

Who lives, who dies? The great lottery

Dominant take
30 %

Since February, a big share of the audience has been forecasting survivors and victims. Teruteru, Nagito and Chiaki are tipped for early deaths; Ibuki, Mikan, Peko, Gundham and Hiyoko get pleas to live.

Original cast returns: pure relief

Dominant take
12 %

The English voice announcement set off a wave of euphoria: every original voice is back. Commenters contrast it with remakes that swapped their casts, and now demand a release date.

« It's so amazingly cool that every single original voice is coming back for this! »

New lead? Hajime, Nagito or Chiaki

Controversy
12 %

Many expect Hajime to fall early (or turn into Izuru) and a replacement lead: Chiaki, Nagito or Mahiru. Others, especially since the trailer, insist Hajime stays the sole protagonist.

60 % Lead swap expected 40 % Hajime stays the lead

Slayhem mode: frame-by-frame decoding

Dominant take
10 %

The Sept. 9 trailer kicked off a collective investigation: the "Mioda Crew", the burning courtroom, the Scrum Debate's return, Nagito's "Please, believe me". Theories fly, with reminders that trailers can lie.

« Why is no one talking about Nagito's "please, believe me"? WHY IS THE SUICIDAL BEGGING FOR HIS LIFE? »
— @niyanano · ♥ 2 k · translated · see original ↗

Date, delay, patience: "my GTA 6"

Dominant take
10 %

Months without a date, then a delay to early 2027 mostly deemed acceptable ("polished beats rushed"), and finally the Jan. 14 date greeted with relief. GTA 6 jokes keep coming back.

« I'm actually so happy the game got delayed. I know people hate delays. But as someone who loves game development, I've seen so many games getting rushed or come out buggy. A game being delayed means the devs have more time to make the game the best it can be. Glad they picked taking their time instead of rushing development or cutting content. »

Have the voices aged?

Controversy
5 %

After the voice announcement, a minority finds Hajime, Ibuki or Teruteru slightly "off"; most hear identical voices and ask for gratitude. A lively exchange, centred on a handful of roles.
