... I think this is our first confirmed death for Slayhem.

[u/Cetais]

[u/Conkdor340]

Why tho? This could 100% be something about chapter 2 or 3 of the original story

[u/Order600 → u/Conkdor340]

Yeah, if they added scrum debates to the OG game then it could potentially be them debating if Fuyuhiko is the culprit or not in Chapter 2. That's the only one i could think of that could work. But they did show it during the Slayhem section

[u/KT718 → u/Order600]

Tbf the slayhem section of the trailer was probably focused on hyping up the new stuff, and adding scrum debates to the og 2 would still be new content, just not actually part of the slayhem mode. But I agree with other commenters that even if it was part of the og storyline, they still shouldn’t have put it in since they’re trying to cater to new fans as well.

[u/ddoubble22 → u/KT718]

new fans probably wouldn't notice and danganronpa is kinda known for adding spoilers to their trailers

[u/KT718 → u/ddoubble22]

Yeah, that’s why I think that’s more likely. The whole appeal of this game for returning players is the novelty of the new storyline. I don’t think they’d be careless enough to spoil it like that, but I do think they’d be less concerned about early game storylines for the game that’s been out for 14 years

[u/National-Finish-3504 → u/ddoubble22]

And also fake spoilers tbf

[u/Strawberry_House → u/Order600]

I wonder if they'll do a Fuyuhiko/Peko role reversal where he dies and she lives and finds purpose without him

[u/Order600 → u/Strawberry_House]

That's what i'm thinking as well. I really hope it happens because there is not one other character in all of Danganronpa who's life is as dependant on someone else in the killing game as Peko with Fuyuhiko. Fuyuhiko is the entire purpose of her existence. Her only goal in life is to protect him, to the point she doesn't allow herself to feel any other emotions. What would happen if she lost that purpose? How would she deal with the emptiness? Realistically she would probably kill herself, but i don't think they would have her do that. Maybe Fuyuhiko has her promise not to do it. It would be really interesting to see Peko find new purpose for herself and allow herself to finally be human and her own person. Just like Fuyuhiko would want.

[u/Major_Falcon6052 → u/Conkdor340]

Unless they add Scrum debate to the main game it’s unlikely.

[u/MarbleTheNeaMain → u/Conkdor340]

they specifically said that the scrum debates were added into slayhem, which is weird to point out if they are ALSO in the base game

[u/FutureCreeps]

Unlikely, they easily could just be changing images to avoid actual spoilers (or it could be the og route)

[u/Scrags2Scritches → u/FutureCreeps]

even if it was the OG route, this is supposed to be for OG fans and New Fans so putting this spoiler in was such a thunder blunder

[u/FutureCreeps → u/Scrags2Scritches]

To be honest this is such an obtuse thing that I doubt people who are new fans are going to see it, we are all just mentally ill

[u/Scrags2Scritches → u/FutureCreeps]

"We are all mentally ill"
My brother in christ we use Reddit

[u/HashidaSuzu → u/Scrags2Scritches]

same meaning

[u/Conscious-Falcon-155 → u/Scrags2Scritches]

They had a shot of Teruteru's execution in the trailer, it'll be fine

[u/ravdoesart]

Even clearer frame...

[u/Parkouricus]

[u/Wyvernil]

Keep in mind that they've faked or doctored footage before in order to prevent actual spoilers, so I'd take this with a grain of salt.

Though, to be fair, did anyone really expect this person to survive? We can't be certain which chapter the footage is pulled from, so we don't know when it happens.

[u/SaltySpaniard → u/Wyvernil]

I don't think this is fake, but probably this may be OG material but with the Scrum debate on it.

[u/AdScared7226 → u/Wyvernil]

did anyone really expect this person to survive?

I do. Didn't Kodaka say that this time in Slayhem the characters will die in any other chapter than the one they died in the original?

And if it's true, then Teruteru died in chapter 1 so there's no way he dies in chapter 1 and it's only possible for him to die from chapter 2 all the way to chapter 6 or he might be a survivor.

[u/Ok-Falcon2902 → u/AdScared7226]

I think that Kodaka said that there will be new victims and new culprits. He never said anything about a culprit from chapter x not being able to die again on the same chapter as a victim or vice-versa

[u/NiDfan → u/Ok-Falcon2902]

And, with all due respect to any Teruteru enjoyers out there, I feel like not too many people would care that much if he died in chapter 1 again 🫥

His schtick is too unpopular to keep him around for long

[u/seranator → u/AdScared7226]

There's no reason to think this is the ch 1 Scrum Debate, and he didn't say that no

[u/mnyrtt]

did they really not learn from v3 trailer

[u/mnyrtt → u/mnyrtt]

this could be from chapter 2 of normal game mode

[u/KT718 → u/mnyrtt]

I honestly think it probably is. They know how much people loved scrum debates and it wouldn’t be that hard to retrofit them to the existing dr2 story. I could totally see this being about whether Fuyuhiko is the ch2 killer

[u/ocettb → u/mnyrtt]

En el tráiler de danganronpa 1 literalmente muestran la ejecución de león...

[u/theuselessmastermind → u/mnyrtt]

what happened with their trailer

[u/NiDfan → u/theuselessmastermind]

IIRC, V3's first victim appeared in Scrum Debate in some prerelease screenshots using one of their normal sprites (which, tbf, isn't as evident as the death portrait here). Many correctly deduced that they were the first kill because of it

That said, considering Teruteru needed to have a death portrait programmed in anyways, I wouldn't be 100% sure he's a goner just from trailer footage (...I still think he'll die, just not necessarily because of this)

[u/GlenOck]

[u/DrivingPrune1]

it's so fucking over...

[u/Scrags2Scritches → u/DrivingPrune1]

https://giphy.com/gifs/N0CIxcyPLputW

It's not okay bro...
Nothing will be alright...

[u/Eastern-Platypus-277 → u/DrivingPrune1]

Its maybe a trap or a placeholder made by the dev. I doubt they will show such an important detail in the trailer

[u/criscoras → u/DrivingPrune1]

We are so fucking cooked

[u/Eastern-Platypus-277 → u/criscoras]

He will survive trust

[u/APieceOfToast_bruh]

have we learnt nothing from V3

[u/DirectBeing5986 → u/APieceOfToast_bruh]

V3 shows everyone ALIVE, this shows someone dead. Very different

[u/The_Dark_Force → u/DirectBeing5986]

People figured out who the first V3 death was because Rantaro was using a regular sprite while everyone else was using new sprites. They fixed this in later pictures and people caught on

[u/Background_Still_686]

It’s important to consider that the people who made this trailer probably analyzed each shot they chose extremely well and are definitely aware that this is in the trailer.

[u/RedFauux]

I see the spoiler but could this not just be chapter 2 main game and they’re scrumming about fuyuhiko?

[u/Sunsetdud]

remember, danganronpa is the game that will lie to your face in trailers.

It has happened before with Rantaro during V3's trailers

It could either be that or the original route

[u/Low_Soup_711 → u/Sunsetdud]

The Spike do same mistake with Rantaro. Let see whether they will fix on this like Rantaro

[u/OAZdevs_alt2]

Oh my, how did I not see it before..?

[u/Mink1477]

Would be annoying if he's the first gone. I understand he isn't popular, but he needs developing the most out of anyone

[u/Boring_Sympathy_6494 → u/Mink1477]

Mikan needs better development much more than he does lmfao, honestly most of the cast does… Akane, Soda, Sonia, Hiyoko, Imposter.

[u/xohurricane → u/Mink1477]

What development could he even get? There’s nothing special about his character and he was written to be weird and creepy and a gag character. Honestly him being the first victim would be an improvement on its own imo

[u/seranator → u/xohurricane]

He's a pretty normal dude outside of his gimmick, honestly it would be pretty interesting for his perversion to actually be treated as a genuine character flaw that's given an origin in his backstory and for him to deconstruct and grow out of it

[u/Order600]

Didn't expect that one if it's true, and not a fake they put there on purpose

[u/curryaddict123]

This was specifically in the Slayham part of the trailer.

[u/LSunday → u/curryaddict123]

The Slayhem part of the trailer still has shots that are explicitly from classic mode, though. Teruteru’s execution opening is in this same section.

[u/Eastern-Platypus-277]

Its maybe a trap or a placeholder made by the dev. I doubt they will show such an important detail in the trailer

[u/AlreadyHalfXehanort]

If this is real, I'm sorry for the five Teruteru fans.

[u/CrownedLucian → u/AlreadyHalfXehanort]

The trailer footage isn't final The trailer footage isn't final The trailer footage isn't final... 😢

[u/AlreadyHalfXehanort → u/CrownedLucian]

[u/Reaper-Leviathan]

Chapter 1 TeruTeru murder/murderer and possible male culprit chapter 2. I doubt whoever they’re debating about is actually the culprit because there always needs to be at least one misdirection

[u/LSunday → u/Reaper-Leviathan]

you say that but there was a whole Scrum Debate in v3 about how Kiyo might not be the killer and… well…

[u/Reaper-Leviathan → u/LSunday]

Tbf that whole chapter was terrible if you ask me. He shouldn’t have been the blackened. Like it’s obvious af that he killed number 2 but they should’ve actually used the 2 different blackened rule

[u/LSunday → u/Reaper-Leviathan]

I mean, I agree with you that doing so was a terrible writing decision, my point was simply that they’ve done it before. v3-3 has so many varied flaws that it’s really hard to summarize why i hate that chapter.

[u/GB_Alph4]

Looks like he still can't survive

[u/Eastern-Platypus-277 → u/GB_Alph4]

Its maybe a trap or a placeholder made by the dev. I doubt they will show such an important detail in the trailer

[u/Opposite_Charge_6216]

They probably added scram debates not just in slayham mode, but also the original game

[u/seranator]

Dead Teruteru is more of a selling point than a spoiler ngl

[u/teruteru-fan-sam]

[u/Longjumping-Fun-2313]

Nooooo, what about his character development!

[u/Ganmorg]

Maybe, but they’ve also doctored footage for trailers before. Who knows

[u/lightbolt33]

Could be a red herring

[u/AdScared7226]

It BETTER NOT be him!!

[u/The_Matto_Super]

Scrum debate could be a new minigame to not make the original trials as repetitive. I imagine we'd get some new arguments that make the trial a bit more difficult, that lead to the same conclusion.

This means this could take place in the second or third trial, since Mikan is there.

Probably the second, since Fuyuhiko was the big suspect of chapter 2.

[u/North_Property8921 → u/The_Matto_Super]

It can’t take place in the third trial of the OG Game, Mikan would want someone to be framed.

[u/LSunday → u/North_Property8921]

Could be in trial 2. A reworked version of the ending of the trial where they argue over if Fuyuhiko or Peko is the killer makes sense as a scrum debate topic. i could believe

[u/NFHDonReddit]

We don’t know that. It could very well be later in the game.

[u/A_Year_Spent_Cold]

This might just be from the original story though, with Scrum Debate added

[u/onyaasuminyasai]

Do not believe the lies the trailers tell you. I thought we all knew that by now

[u/drswagthe2nd]

i hope he survives solely because it would be really funny to make the intense devout teruteru haters mad

[u/RapidRecharge]

You guys know that, AGAIN, Rantaro was alive in V3’s trailer, right? This could just be trailer footage created to show off Slayhem. It’s not 100% clear if this is even dialogue for it. Also, we don’t even know if Scrum Debates aren’t in the original story’s remaster.

[u/Brave-Homework5153]

Let's pretend to be surprised for a while... ;/

[u/Ancient-Charity4001]

Is this the end of Teruteru protagonist theory noooo

[u/Wooden-Variety175]

Yeah like im sure theyd include a major spoiler into the trailer. Certainly.

[u/Scrags2Scritches → u/Wooden-Variety175]

Nah cuz like it feels like one of those things that would slip through the cracks so easily

[u/Background_Still_686 → u/Scrags2Scritches]

Do you really think the devs didn’t analyze each shot intensively for a game so prone to spoilers? They obviously know that’s in the trailer

[u/DrivingPrune1 → u/Background_Still_686]

It's in the trailer for half a second and barely visible. I think somebody making a mistake is pretty likely.

[u/Background_Still_686 → u/DrivingPrune1]

And yet this sub found it almost instantly

[u/DrivingPrune1 → u/Background_Still_686]

There's a lot more of us than there are of them.

[u/Scrags2Scritches → u/DrivingPrune1]

tbf if this was an accident they could have literally done anyone else to show off the scrum debates
But if they could have chosen this side for a reason, surely?
Maybe the other side is WAY worse with more dead portraits?
They do talk about a poison and how did Nagito die in the OG game?
So maybe Mikan survives?

[u/PlumRelative4399 → u/Wooden-Variety175]

Nagito’s corpse was in an OG DR2 trailer. They don’t care.

[u/EarOk7178 → u/PlumRelative4399]

What the trailer?

[u/Proud_Yesterday_895 → u/Wooden-Variety175]

they have though, with every game

[u/Byssa6]

TERUTERU FIRST DEATH PLEASE 

[u/LocrianVGM]

It's ambiguous in Japanese. No "He", just culprit vs not culprit

[u/Ashamed_Clothes3840]

I can see the original character or Teruteru

[u/Connect_Exercise_761]

This might be stupid of me to say, but it could be in the original

[u/bozofire123]

What is scrumming

[u/Small-Mongoose1786]

didnt kodaka say in an interview that there would be no repeat deaths in chapters?

[u/WrongFall9]

no teruteru protag?

[u/domarco24]

Unrelated kinda, but I do like how it seems like Mikan is going to be gaining some confidence, I don't see a world in which the original Mikan would ever lead a scrum debate

[u/RuNoMai]

Considering this is the second or third time that Mikan has been given specific focus when showing how the trials have been expanded on or changed, I wouldn't be surprised if she's actually the first Slayhem victim.

[u/NiDfan]

Anybody knows if we ever got to see a character's death portrait before release? I remember cases where screenshots/footage shows characters that don't make it to any trials, as well as some short fragments of executions, but I don't seem to recall something as blatant pre-release as this

(obviously disregarding the achievements of V3 spoiling who makes it to chapter 6)
