Questions about the 52th game
Hello guys ^^

I have a few questions about the 52th game :

- Did Tsumugi , K1-B0 and Rantarô all participate in the 52th edition of Danganronpa ? (not so sure about Tsumugi)

- And they all were "executed" by being forced in participating into v3 ? But isn't that contradictory with the rule that says that the killing game must continue until just 2 students remain ?

- If the previous statement is true, that means that at the end of each Danganronpa game, a group of more than 2 students confronted Monokuma in some kind of trial where they voted for the 2 winners and those that would be executed by participating in the following game ??

- What happened to the 2 "true winners" of the previous game ? Because as fictionnal characters set up only for the game and with no memory of their previous self, they absolutely had nowhere to go ! So, did they go the Hunger Games way or not x) ?

- Why would Tsumugi even participate in these killing games ? I mean, what would happen to the game if the mastermind was suddenly killed by a unpremeditated murder set up by a student who had become berserk ? (just like in Mondo's case in Danganronpa 1 ) ?

I will be the extra person that BeastBox wanted.
First and foremost, I think it is a given that somehow there is always at least one end survivor who moves onto the next game. No matter which way you look at the process, there has to be at least someone who survives. Whether they follow the rules, try to uncover the mastermind or not, since we are on the 53rd Killing Game, we can at least say that no one has thought like Shuuichi and figured out how to defeat the mastermind. So it is kind of a given that someone has always moved on. Granted, you could say that there has been a game where no one has survived and it's all been new contestants, which could very well be true. The game doesn't give us enough facts to determine whether there always has been or not. And technically, based off of DR1, and the killing game of SDR2, you can kind of determine that there hasn't always been a survivor. Because no one in DR1 is in SDR2.
Second, when discussing whether Rantarou is a normal survivor or not, you are both correct. He is special in the sense that he is different from everyone else in the V3 killing game since he has been given the perk. But, he is normal because we can assume that this has at least happened once before, where someone has been given some sort of perk in the killing game. On the topic of this being normal, or special, Tsumugi says that Kiibo is, " the twist of this killing game " meaning that he is what makes this game different, since the audience can interact with the people in the killing game. Knowing this, saying that the survival perk is something special doesn't make that much sense, because she would've also said that the survival perk was another special perk of the 53rd Killing Game, but she doesn't. She says that Kiibo was the special perk. Obviously implying this has at least happened once before, and it is nothing new.
Third, I briefly went over this in my first point, but the number of survivors doesn't really matter. We could've had someone who moved onto the next game or not. Based off of what the people in the Killing Game actually decided to do. Who knows, maybe the people in the 51st Killing Game never even tried to find the mastermind, and just kept killing Eachother. In that case, there would've logically been 1 survivor, who would theoretically move onto the next game, but Rantarou and Tsumugi never say anything about someone else having a perk in the 52nd game. There could also be a draw like BeastBox stated. What if someone died of wounds and it was a draw, or the case could be like DR1 and SDR2, where there isn't a survivor who moved onto the next game, but instead comes back later. So in short, the number of survivors is open to interpretation for some games. But, I will say for the 52nd games ending, it makes sense that there was only one survivor, and that was Rantarou. Meaning, and Shuuichi even clarified this at one point, that they decided to do the exact same thing the 53rd game did and tried to reveal the mastermind to stop it. But, they all voted for hope, which continued the game.
Four, speaking of hope, this brings me to my fourth point. When we are talking about punishment, it is a play on words. It could be a punishment because it's painful to see your friends die and have to watch them get executed, so why would you ever want to go through that again? It could also be the opposite of a punishment, and it would be a thing that the person wanted because they would get to be in another installment of their favorite TV show. More likely though, it was what I would call a, " half-truth " told by Tsumugi. Meaning that she was saying only half of the truth by calling it a punishment. Technically it really was a punishment, but based off of what they have seen in the killing game, they would assume she means execution. However, since Shuuichi is smart, he saw through this and brought the idea up that this could possibly not be an execution punishment, per say, but rather a different form of punishment. Which is when Tsumugi confirms it's not an execution, but rather having to go through the killing game again. Knowing what I just stated in the last sentences, it's very likely that Tsumugi was referring to as a punishment because you would never want to see another group of people suffer by getting killed and executed once more over.
My fifth and final point, talking about Rantarou wanting this game, is most likely referring to the real world. When Rantarou said to his future self, " You wanted this game. So you have to win. No matter what. " he was most likely told what we were told in the 53rd game about how they all auditioned to be on this show, and how he did in fact, since he auditioned, want to be on this show.
Adding onto the previous point, we can in fact infer that just like what Maki decided to when Tsumugi presented the problem of voting and the amount of survivors, Rantarou took the, " punishment " and said that he would get punished so there could be two other survivors. Meaning that Rantarou was willing to get, what he thought was, executed to save the others. However, he didn't have someone like Shuuichi in his 52nd game, so they never thought to second guess themselves on this being something different than an execution. Since we can guess that Rantarou was the only survivor, since he didn't say anything about someone else being in the killing game who survived, and Tsumugi never brought it up, that although he pledged to get the punishment so he could save the others, they ended up getting executed and he was the lone survivor instead. This also adds to my fourth point that it is a form of punishment to carry the burden of you trying to save your friends, but them ending of dying because of your sacrifice. So instead of it being an execution, he just got to carry a mental burden...
This concludes my outside view on your discussion.

I would also like to say that this argument started off very organized and nice, so naturally I was surprised, since every argument that Battler involves himself with usually spins off down the hill. But, like I love to say, this argument turned into a,
" respond like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlJ8eTuFe9U to every point made against you. "

Yeah, I hadn't actually thought of that. Certainly possible as well. We very nearly had that outcome in this game due to the second motive in the first trial. :)

Possibly. I mean, interesting point, but who knows what the rules were 52 seasons ago. :)

Agreed. When something is a special instance, it's generally pointed out as such.

I'm sure this would be clearer just from replaying the final trial and reviewing the context it gets used it, but I lack the patience. :p As you say, it could mean anything.

Yup. No real reason to interpret that any other way.

Thanks; it was looking like no one was going to bother for a while there. Not that I blame them. :p

Guys, you kinda forgeting the possibility what there never was a "normal" ending. Our Junko is 53rd with her backstory not connected to previous games, which implies every single previous Junko were found out and "killed" or actually killed, but we have no way to know for sure . Which in turn means every game's ending were "special" at least to some extent.

Finaly, games had to or at least supposed to end with some form of hope vs despair fight, which would only take place if game were to end prematurely (more than 2 survivors).

But as far as Danganronpa own tropes go, DR2 and DR3 had returning characters too. Most importantly Naegi.
Man, it feels like every topic I'm in gets sidetracked :/

Without hard evidence there's ain't much left to do but speculate, argue and sidetrack a lot. Still ain't as bad as cospox discussions.

I hate Tsumugi for lying about cospox so much. This is a spoiler discussion btw, no need to spoiler block, xD.

It doesn't necessarily mean that the Mastermind/Junko gets killed every season/killing game. Not every game we are going to have someone with Ultimate Luck, or an Ultimate Detective. The only reason the masterminds died in DR1, SDR2, and DR3, was because Naegi was around with his bullcrap luck card. And we won in DRV3 because Tsumugi was an idiot, and no match for the Ultimate Detective.
Chapter 1 in a nutshell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCMV-0Kbp7s
Also, she presented us with the option of Hope and Despair at the end of V3, by choosing someone to get executed. Obviously Shuuichi saw through her crap option, because she was presenting them with the same thing, just worded differently. Either way they were going to have 1 survivor, and 2 people executed. So that option of killing Tsumugi for Hope, or killing Kiibo for Despair was the exact same option, just worded cleverly.

Although I wrote way more than what you replied to, it's fine. I was mostly agreeing with you in the argument, when I read through all your replies to eachother, but at the parts of being normal and special I was agreeing with both of you. Also, I see you nitpicked my agreeance with him not being special, nice job on missing my point, xD. My point was that he was and wasn't special looking at it from two different perspectives, so both of your points make sense.

We aren't sidetracked at all...Unless you were referring to someone's comment specifically.

Well, yea. There is still no way to know for sure, what should be considered as "normal". Maybe, rules themselves were changed between games.
The thing is, at least the Killing games we have witnessed, aren't just all about killing and survivng. They have plot, purpose and the big bad Junko.
So pretty much my only point is, what else they gonna do with all this? Plot has to be resolved too. Big reveal, confrontation, screaming "hope" a lot - you know the drill.

To hell with Tsumugi, Monokuma himself were satisfied with Junko reveal. Even breaking the 4th wall was done almost completely by Tsumugi herself only to bring in audience through Keebo so they could participiate in all that hope screaming thing.

The rules between games can definitely be changed considering that Kiibo is a special exception just for the 53rd season. Personally, I think it would be very easy to make a sequel to this game and wrap up all this crap. You could go down many paths of possibilities to fix this mess...

At this point i'm not even sure when people talking about in game Team Danganronpa or Spike Chunsoft. :/

Well, the "he's special" perspective you had was simply in him being the survivor when everyone else was fresh, or being the "???" student. Which no one was really disputing ... the game explicitly said he had a special perk, and I never disagreed. I just didn't feel the need to belabour every point. :p But yeah, sure, why not.

"More sequels" is how we got this mess. :p They need a new IP without the baggage.
