Just finished the first trial... worst murder in the entire series (spoilers)

[BlueRaja]

I figured out the Gonta explanation and the Shuichi explanation, along with another one the devs didn't think of (Miu using her drone to fly through the vents). Those all made a decent amount of sense. But then the actual killer is Kaede, which is COMPLETELY out of character, and whose freaking THOUGHTS WE CAN HEAR!

So you're telling me the only piece of evidence exonerating Shuichi (the detective) is a lie Kaede came up with. Meanwhile Kaede managed to unscrew the vent using her fingers in under five seconds and threw a heavy shotput ball in there, where it magically rolled to the right open vent, fell onto a pile of books, hit a book standing on its end, magically turned 90 degrees for some reason instead of knocking the book over, went through a twisted rube goldberg machine, and landed on Rantaro who just happened to be standing in the exact place for it to land on his head even after all that time. And the only reason Rantaro didn't hear it is because of a loud announcement message that Kaede didn't know would be playing. lolk

Well it's a game who's main themes are truth and lies. So maybe think about it some more.

It makes perfect sense. We read her thoughts and her thoughts absolutely point to her being the culprit. Kaede was planning this for a long ass time. She didn't unscrew the vent in five seconds. It was already unscrewed. Look at the diagram. Kaede literally arranged the books in such a way that it would make a path for the sole purpose of falling on top of the person who stands in front of the camera. And just because there's a convenience that allows for Rantaro to not hear it doesn't mean anything. It just means that Kaede didn't consider that someone would be able to hear it, which is absolutely possible.

That was my reaction too. I even stopped playing the game shortly after finishing the first trial about a year ago. I recently came back and played the whole thing, though.

Without spoiling anything, I can assure you that the rest of the murder cases in this game are quite clever and interesting. Kaede's case was special.

Also, the game elaborates a bit further on Kaede's case later on. Not enough to make it plausible, but it reinforces the explanation for some of the inconsistencies in her logic: Kaede was in a hurry and made mistakes, her plan was flawed.

Nothing excuses the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of our POV character hiding things from us, though. Not in a series where that was never an element and never became an element again.

Still, I found Danganronpa V3 to be very enjoyable. I think this may very well have the best cases of the whole series; the one double murder was freaking amazing. It's just a shame it comes after such a weak opening case.

It WASN'T improbable. And the POV very much had Kaede's suspicious actions. It very much showed every part of it
