01x05 - Not Normal Arc: Weekly Shonen Despair Magazine

[bunniefuu]

It happened again...

I prayed that it would never happen again,

but this is our second m*rder.

Everyone is displaying various
emotions, including anticipation...!

The classroom trial is about to begin!

"In Session!"

"Not Normal Arc: Weekly Shonen Despair Magazine"

Well then, kiddos, why don't we
start off by discussing the weapon?

"Verbal b*llet"

According to the Monokuma Files,

the victim was struck in
the head by a blunt object.

This is what k*lled her.

What could this "blunt object" be?

I bet it's a metal pipe!

"Refute"
No, it wasn't!

"I bet it's a metal pipe!"
"Dumbbell in the Locker Room"

Totally! That totally wasn't it!

Yeah, there weren't any metal
pipes at the scene of the crime...

The shape of the victim's injury
matched the shape of the dumbbell.

Y-You actually looked at her injury?!

Too gross!

Seeing as there were
bloodstains on the carpet,

the crime was undoubtedly
committed in the girls' locker room.

Then we should jump straight to the culprit.

But to be honest, I have
already identified who it is.

For real?!

Without a shadow of doubt.

The one who k*lled Chihiro Fujisaki is...

...Genocider Sho!

The serial k*ller everyone's
goin' on about? Keep dreamin'!

Are you saying that one
of us is a serial k*ller?

How could you back that up?

We might be able to...

There was a file on the serial
k*ller in the library stacks.

Two distinct characteristics from this
case were covered in great detail...

...in the police's highly classified
compilation of Genocider Sho's cases.

First, the k*ller always leaves
a message written in blood.

"Big Booby Fever," I believe.

"Blood Bath Fever," you mean.

The other is important as it is
highly classified information,

having never been disclosed to the public.

The k*ller's victims are
always found crucified.

In other words, for Fujisaki
to have been crucified,

it is only natural to assume that the
culprit was indeed the real Genocider Sho.

You mean to say we have
a serial k*ller in our midst?

Yeah. And it is...

...Touko Fukawa!

Wait a darn second!
Fukawa can't stand the sight of blood.

I've never heard of a serial
k*ller who hates blood!

She is Genocider Sho,
yet not her at the same time.

Is that a riddle?
Don't beat 'round the bush!

If Genocider Sho is Fukawa, but not Fukawa...

"Dissociative Identity Disorder"

That's it! I've got it.

It was written in that file, too.

It said that the k*ller might have
"dissociative identity disorder."

And there you have it.

Y-You promised to keep that our secret...

Now why don't we let the lady
in question tell us the rest?

Was that my sign to come out?

Am I like, busted already?

Whatever! Like it really matters.

You got it! I'm the Super High School-Level
Serial k*ller, Genocider Sho!

"Super High School-Level Serial k*ller"

And Touko Fukawa is my
super shitty real name.

Wh-What's gotten into you, Fukawa?

A sound k*ller dwells within a
sound mind and a sound body!

This is vastly different... from her usual self.

Now you know. That serial
k*ller m*rder*d Fujisaki.

She even has a motive.

What would that be?

Touko Fukawa didn't want anyone
to find out about Genocider Sho,

no matter what the cost.

That should be an adequate motive.

Makes sense... I getcha, I getcha, I getcha...
Nice try, but you fail! I ain't the k*ller.

Do you think anyone will believe you?

She's right! Like I'm gonna
buy what a serial k*ller tells me!

It could have been her...
She could have done it, but...

This m*rder and all of your previous murders...

They match up perfectly.

"Refute"
You're wrong!

"State of the Corpse"

What was that?

Oh, what's this?
You don't get it, ya freaking bit part?!

Bit--!

Fill the twerp in! I'm a fanatic
about gettin' everything perfect,

just like you'd expect from the best!

She's right! The k*lling blow wasn't her style.

In Genocider Sho's past cases,
she used scissors to m*rder all of her victims.

It's like how major ramen shops wanna get their...

...broth, noodles, and crud just right.

The other inconsistency is
how the corpse was crucified.

Weren't Fujisaki's hands bound by rope?

But in her past cases, Genocider
Sho used... razor-sharp scissors.

Correct! I use my
scissors to crucify the guys!

And Ma Dear, that ain't all of it.

M-Ma Dear...?

What's the fundamental rule
behind all of my past victims?

A fundamental rule behind all
of your past victims...?

"Unemployed... Found... stab wounds...
Blood Bath Fever... Ken Harada [32]..."

That's right! All of the victims were men!

He just won bingo!

That's right! I burn with passion
and conviction when I k*ll.

I only go for the hot
guys that turn me on!

I'm so embarrassed!
I can't believe I said that!

I'm a sick chick on my way
to becoming men's worst nightmare!

You have made your
preferences and style clear.

But with your life on the line,
I imagine neither is relevant.

Shut yer trap, whipped dog!

"Whipped dog"?

I ain't gonna k*ll over
something lame like survival!

Don, don, don, don!

She's ready to go!

I absolutely never go anywhere
without my weapon of choice.

But even so, aren't you the only
one who coulda crucified her?

No one else knows about that!

Isn't that why we decided it had
to be the real k*ller and not a copycat?

Just a sec...

Couldn't you have crucified her, Togami?

When we were looking at
the library materials together,

didn't you tell me this?

I have seen copies in
my family's study as well.

I wouldn't be surprised
if you already knew...

...how Genocider Sho kills
before we ever came here.

Th-Then that would make
Byakuya Togami a copycat k*ller?!

Did you hope to make
Genocider Sho pay for your crime?

What have you to say, Togami?! Answer us!

Where is your evidence?

We have supporting evidence.

There is the rope that was
used to crucify Fujisaki.

That was not actually rope, but an
extension cord taken from the library.

Togami, I'm sure you recognized it.

I see...

I k*lled Fujisaki in the girls' locker room

and then put her body in
that incriminating position.

In doing so, I attempted to place
the blame on that crazed m*rder*r.

Does that sum it up?

We've got him cornered,
so why does he seem so calm?

Wait! Was the crime really
committed in the girls' locker room?

Last night, I accidentally spilt my
protein coffee here after training.

Yet the stain has vanished.

Huh?

What if... the culprit switched rooms
to upset our deductive reasoning?

What a thought!

You mean to say that
Togami made the switch?

There was a smutty idol
poster in the girls' locker room.

And a poster of some guy
idols in the boys' locker room.

Normally it's the reverse!

Exactly! In which case, Fujisaki wasn't
k*lled in the girls' locker room,

but in the boys' locker room.

What?!

Then how'd Fujisakins manage
to get into the boys' locker room?

The answer is simple.

Fujisaki was a boy.

Wha--?!

I found out when I was
investigating his body.

Yup! Chihiro Fujisaki was a girly boy!

"Girly Boy"
Yup! Chihiro Fujisaki was a girly boy!

H-He was cross dressing?!

Damn, that's freaking hot!
I wish I k*lled him.

But that doesn't change the fact
that Togamins was the k*ller...

I don't think it was him.

What makes you say that?

Well, when we learned that
Fujisaki was a guy a second ago,

you were clearly taken by surprise.

But there is no way the
real culprit doesn't know.

Therefore, you aren't the k*ller!

I see...

I dislike how you lack any solid
evidence, but I'll let that slide.

I will give you a passing grade.

It is just as Naegi says!
I am not the culprit.

I found the corpse in
the girls' locker room,

so I decided to tamper with his body.

Y-You b*stard! You were screwin' with us?!

I did it to test your competency...

...while simultaneously unnerving the culprit.

I-I do not believe you!

If you don't wish to believe me,
that is your choice.

It simply means that everyone
will reach the wrong answer.

If you find that unacceptable,
assist in my hunt for the k*ller.

--Why you--
--Very well.

Let's discuss this case at length.

Then let us resume our
game of Guess the k*ller.

In that case, I wish
to verify this once more.

How, pray tell, was the culprit
able to enter both locker rooms?

I found three of the deceased students'
digital student handbooks in the entry hall.

Huh? So what's that mean?

It means that if the
culprit used one of those,

boys and girls could freely
enter both locker rooms.

No. Kuwata's digital student handbook was broken.

So the k*ller has to be a guy, right?

"The culprit is male."
So the k*ller has to be a guy, right?

"Girls can't enter the boys' locker room."
So the k*ller has to be a guy, right?

But isn't using another student's digital
handbook in violation of the school rules?

The school rule prohibits us from
lending our digital handbooks.

But it does not prohibit
us from borrowing them.

You've got it!

So at the moment, all we know
is that the culprit is male?

Anything else?
Am I overlooking something...?

Come to think of it, Celes, didn't
you see Fujisaki the night he died?

Indeed, I did. Fujisaki had a
jersey stuffed inside a duffle bag.

But we didn't see anything
at the scene of the crime.

The culprit must have disposed of it.

Did he leave any clues behind?

If memory serves me correctly, the
jerseys came in an array of types.

Didn't they come in a
bunch of different colors?

I-I don't even have a jersey!

I have a white one!

Wasn't Fujisaki supposed to be
meeting up with someone?

What if they picked their
jerseys out together?

I've got it! His jersey is the
same color as his k*ller's!

In other words, the culprit must
have a matching blue jersey, huh?

Then it can't be me. I've got a black jersey.

You're wrong.

"Refute"
You're wrong.

"The culprit must have a matching blue jersey, huh?"
"Celes' Testimony"

How the heck am I wrong?

Naegi, you caught it as well, didn't you?
He made a careless mistake...

Yeah...

Ohwada, how did you know
that Fujisaki's jersey was blue?

Celes never said anything
about the color, did she?

Wh-What're you saying?!

You've dug your own grave, Ohwada.

Wh-What was that?!

Wasn't that part of your plan?

I see that was indeed a bluff.

This was all a ploy to lure the culprit out.

That's right.

Wait! There is no way
Brother would stoop so low!

What has gotten into you, Brother? Tell them!

Tell them how they are mistaken!

That's right. This is all a mistake.

It must be a big mistake!

There is a fundamental flaw
somewhere in their deduction!

You're making everything up!

In that case...

Let's take another look at the case,
starting at the beginning.

This will prove whether
our current deduction...

...is right or wrong!

It was during the night hours.

Fujisaki had left her room,
taking her duffle bag with her.

There should have been a
blue jersey inside that bag.

Fujisaki headed off for
the boys' locker room.

But how was Fujisaki able
to get inside when she's a girl?

That's because she--no, he was a boy.

Now, there was already
someone inside waiting for him.

This is the very person we are
looking for in this m*rder case!

The culprit used a dumbbell as
his weapon and attacked Fujisaki.

After that, in order
to tamper with the crime scene,

he decided to swap everything
in the boys' and girls' locker rooms.

To enter the girls' locker room,

he just needed Maizono's or Enoshima's
handbook, which were in the entry hall.

That's how the culprit managed
to swap the two rooms out.

Isn't that right,

Mondo Ohwada?!

Yeah, you're right...

I... k*lled him.

Brother, how could you say that?

Monokuma, please get it started.
It's "Voting Time" or whatever...

--Roger!
--You can't!

Please wait!

I don't wanna! I'm not gonna wait.

Punks, please vote by pressing

--the switch in front of you!
--Wait!

Yahoo! The person who k*lled
Chihiro Fujisaki in this m*rder case...

...was Mondo Ohwada!

For the record, this was not a unanimous vote!

Ishimaru, I can't believe
you voted for yourself.

But you were saved
by the majority vote!

I don't believe it...

I refuse to believe it... I...

I'm sorry...!

Why are you apologizing?!

Why?! Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why?! Why?!

Why did you do it?!

Since Ohwada is exercising his right to silence,

I will explain for him.

"Why would Ohwada k*ll Fujisaki?"
I will explain for him.

"Why would Ohwada k*ll Fujisaki?"
There once was a boy.

This boy's name was Chihiro Fujisaki.

Ever since he was little,

Fujisaki suffered from an extreme
complex stemming from his own weakness.

"Act like a boy!"

After constantly hearing that
phrase since he was little,

he was unable to overcome his weakness.

Instead, he hid himself in a
shell of even greater weakness.

He decided to become a girl!

That was the "escape" he chose.

For Fujisaki, this was a secret that
must never get out in the open!

If word got out, the verbal
onslaught was bound to be unlike...

...anything he'd ever experienced.

He was supposed to fall
into the throes of despair.

But the annoying punk decided to use
the threat of his secret coming to light

as a chance to change!

The time has come...
Because of what's happening now...

...I need to grow strong
and become true to myself.

I have to change dramatically!

Fujisaki decided that he would
begin training, starting that very day.

And the one he chose
to help with his training was...

That's right. Fujisaki shared his secret with me.

Bikers are notorious for keeping
their promises with fellow men.

And oozing with masculinity,

Ohwada was also Fujisaki's
ideal image of a strong man.

While I'm at it, I'm gonna tell ya...

...about Ohwada's memories and the
past that he was dying to keep secret!

You see, he k*lled his own big brother!

Th-The reason why I even joined a biker g*ng...

...was 'cause of my big bro,
who created the greatest g*ng in Japan.

My bro was Number 1 and I was Number 2.

When he retired, it was my job as
his right-hand man to take his place.

But all the greatness of his
charismatic glory crashed down on me,

"Crazy Diamond"
causing me nothing but agony!

"Crazy Diamond"
On the night of his retirement ceremony,

"Crazy Diamond"
I challenged him to a race.

During the race,

I was so desperate to win that
I started to drive recklessly.

As a result...

...I wound up k*lling my own big bro.

Don't you dare destroy the team... we created.

It's a promise between men...

I'm weak!

My weakness kept me from tellin' the truth.

But Fujisaki...

I want to change!
I have to destroy the weak me.

He was facing his own weakness...

He had the strength to
work hard to overcome it!

I was jealous of him.

And not just any old jealousy.
I was freaking jealous!

Y-You b*stard...!

Yeah, you're right. That's right. I'm strong...

I'm strong, strong, strong,
strong, strong, strong, strong!

I'm stronger than anyone, anyone,
anyone at all, you damn b*stard!

I'm stronger than my bro!

I did him in...

I k*lled him...

I've done something horrible,
all because I've never been able to...

...overcome my own weakness!

But after Fujisaki died, didn't you
break his digital student handbook...

...in an attempt to bury Fujisaki's secret?

The broken digital handbook in the
entry hall didn't belong to Kuwata.

It was yours, wasn't it?

You made it overheat during your
showdown in the sauna, thus breaking it.

That is how you learned
how to break the handbooks.

We were unable to find
Fujisaki's digital handbook...

...because you broke it
before disposing of it, right?

I really and truly hate to spoil the party,

but it's Punishment Time!

This despair doesn't
belong just to you kids!

This punishment goes out to all
of humanity, as does this despair.

What do you mean?

Huh? The meaning?

It's meaningless to latch onto the
meaning behind each and every thing!

Does it matter? I will come
out victorious in the end.

I get the feeling that you and
I are gonna be good buddies!

Just so you know,
the moment I win this game...

I will k*ll you!

By my Togami name, which has
destined me to victory, I swear I will!

Too cool! You sound
just like a main character.

It's such a shame yer nothing
more than a side character.

A "side character"?!

Now then, it's about time.

W-Wait!

This time I've prepared a special
little punishment for Mondo Ohwada,

our super high school-level biker!

Wait! Please wait!

Well, let's send him off with a bang!

It's Punishment Time!

I'm telling you to wait!

I'm sorry, Big Bro... I couldn't
keep our promise between men...

"Ohwada was voted guilty."

"Ohwada was voted guilty."
"Time for his punishment."

"Little Black Sambo"

"Yankee Bread - 2X the Fat" "Ohwada Butter"
"NET WT 80kg - Refrigerate"

O Death, smile gently...

And may your soul rest in peace.

The weight of people's lives
here are taken horribly lightly...

So lightly I feel like I'm about to go crazy.

As I listened to Ishimaru's heart-rending screams,

I was forced to realize that anew.

But in all honesty, we've got a nice pace going.

Yeah, we're moving along at a really great pace.

I guess she made quite the accomplishment...

by attempting that first m*rder
before things could hit a standstill!

But it stinks how I went
through the effort to plant a mole...

...and then you haven't
had to do anything!

What? You have a question for me?

Aside from my three sizes,
I'll tell ya anything!

Huh? Who's the sixteenth high schooler?

I can't tell you that!
