Six students are standing at podiums in a circle. Presiding is Monokuma and the full set of five Monokubs.
Shuichi: I wish to retry a past case. Mokokubs: A retrial?! Tsumugi: Which case? Shuichi: The first one—the murder of Rantaro Amami. I've found new evidence relevant to the case. In light of that evidence, I demand a retrial! Monokuma: What's the point of a retrial? The result of the first class trial has already been settled. Monokubs: Yeah, yeah! Shuichi: What if our vote... was wrong? Himiko: Nyeh? Wrong?! Maki: Monokuma said the blackened for that incident was Kaede... Keebo: Are you saying he was wrong?!
The Monokubs react in shock. Monokuma is silent.
Shuichi: To test the validity of our vote, we're going to retry the entire case. If Monokuma was wrong... the validity of these trials would be in question. The entire killing game wouldn't make sense anymore! Monokuma: I see... You think you can destroy the game by calling out my failure as the gamemaster. Shuichi: You shouldn't have a problem with this if you have nothing to hide, Monokuma. Monokuma: Puhuhu... So in the end, the first case has become the focal point yet again... What a twist! What an interesting twist! Okay, let's do this! Maki: So what is this new evidence? Shuichi: There are several... but before we go any further, I want to discuss Rantaro's talent. Keebo: Did you learn what his talent was? Shuichi: He... was the Ultimate Survivor. Maki: Ultimate... Survivor? Himiko: I saw it, too. He said so in his video.
Rantaro (video): Well, the truth is... this isn't your first killing game. You're the Ultimate Survivor. You survived the last killing game. That's why you get this perk—the Survivor Perk.
Shuichi: Rantaro became the Ultimate Survivor after surviving a past killing game. After his memory was wiped... he participated in the killing game once again. Tsumugi: So this wasn't Rantaro's first killing game? Keebo: But why did he participate in a second killing game?! Shuichi: I'm not sure yet... But after I learned Rantaro was the Ultimate Survivor, I deduced his objective.
Shuichi explains that when Rantaro was killed, he was investigating a hidden door. Unlike Shuichi, who noticed the door by chance, Rantaro had a map of the entire academy as part of his Survivor Perk. He also had left himself a "clue to end the killing game"—that if he needed to find the mastermind, the best chance would be when they went to the hidden room to produce a spare Monokuma. Himiko points out it's ironic that the Ultimate Survivor died, and Shuichi points out that Rantaro didn't have anyone to rely on—and the message he left for himself didn't help either, telling him to only share the information with people he trusted.
Maki: He didn't have any recollection of filming this message, right? That means he must've had trouble believing it as well. Shuichi: It was probably confusing to him, too. That's why he didn't consult us.
They flash back on some cryptic things Rantaro said in chapter 1.
Shuichi: He didn't know if he could trust that video, or trust us, or even trust himself... He must have been... so lost... But with the time limit approaching, he decided to take a chance. Keebo: So he went to the library alone, without telling anyone... Himiko: And he got killed by Kaede's trap.
The Monokubs chatter a bit.
Monokuma: So what's your point? You know who Rantaro was and why he did what he did... But it's pointless now, isn't it? Shuichi: No, there is a point. Now that we know this new information, if we look back at Rantaro's case... we can find a new truth that we missed at the time. Maki: Then let's do it.
