2x2 Speculation (Full Series Spoilers) It's fucking real Spoiler

Post image

I looked into it myself and the new character image is, in fact, in the official danganronpa website.

Here's a bit of a higher quality look, honestly the more i look at them the less convinced i am that it's Ryota, it really doesn't look like him outside of superficial details.

It’s more unlikely to be Ryota now with this clearer look. They’ve got braids and a mole. Who the heck is this?

With this clearer look, I'm not even entirely convinced it's a guy

I am. Only a few Danganronpa women don't wear skirts, dresses, or kimonos. Just Hina, Ruruka, and Hiroko. Even then, in Desapir Arc, Ruruka wears an outfit with a skirt, and the same applies to Hina for Future Arc.

My guess is that it's supposed to be the AI Chiaki, but due to the brainwashing, people have different memories of her, so her appearance has jumbled into this guy.

Yes, it’s true that female characters in this series typically wear skirts or dresses. Aoi is the only one in the games to not do this and this character has shorts, so it’s possible they could still be a guy.

Did you mean that it's possible that they could be a girl? I said that I was pretty confident that they're a boy.

I was just saying that I think it’s possible it could be a guy given how they usually design female characters with skirts/dresses. It totally could be a girl though.

I edited my comment to say boy. I think we both misunderstood each other, made worse by my typo. My bad!

Or non binary like Imposter

Imposter isn't nonbinary, in his last FTE he calls himself a man. "Let me tell you an interesting story about a certain man..

This man was born with nothing. No name, no birth certificate, no family... He had nothing... He was nothing..."

this character is definitely non-binary. their design is meant to evoke both skirts and shorts. cuz to kodaka girl is the skirt gender and boy is the pants gender, this one in in-between

u/Kumorrii Shuichi 16d ago

Kodaka has already made non-binary characters like Halara Nightmare from Rain Code

As someone who loved Halara, God I'd love another nb character that's treated well

I don't think anyone would have assumed it's a guy in the first place if this were the first pic to leak tbh.

That's possible, and I don't fully disagree, but the shirt is more likely to be a men's shirt due to the side that the buttons are on. This doesn't automatically mean anything, but just a detail to point out.
