The latest episode of "Dangan Ronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy: Future Arc," aptly titled "You Are My Reason To Die," gave the fans a truly despair-inducing revelation, including the death of one of the main characters in the series.

Episode Nine Deaths: The Brutal And The Unexpected

The ninth episode of "Dangan Ronpa 3 Future Arc" featured four deaths in total. The first character to die technically is Gekkogahara's robot body. The second one is Juzo Sakakura, who died by the hands of his long-time friend Kyosuke Munakata.

A brief flashback was also shown, showing the audience how Sonosuke Izayoi was killed by Ando Ruruka, exploiting his NG Code by putting a piece of food in his mouth. Ando is the third character to be killed by the mastermind, although it is helpful to note that her death is strikingly different to the previous ones.

In probably the most shocking death in the whole season, Kyoko Kirigiri violated her NG code, by letting Makoto Naegi live after passing the fourth time limit. This echoed Monaca's statement that one of the students from the first killing game will die because of Makoto.

Underwater Base Confirmed

Prior to Juzo's death, he and Ando discovered that the secret entrance door led to an empty room surrounded by glass walls, and that they are actually underwater.

More Mastermind Theories

A lot of theories about the possible mastermind for the final killing game has been circulating on the "Dangan Ronpa" Reddit thread. Some point to Ryota Mitarai as either the mastermind or someone who is connected.

Others have crazier theories, such as the Asahina x Chisa Mastermind theory, wherein Chisa is actually pretending to be Aoi Asahina, and the real Aoi is already dead.

The next episode of "Dangan Ronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy: Future Arc" will be aired Monday next week.
