* Was Sonia outing herself as a possible traitor during Trial 5 an attempt at procrastination for voting out [[spoiler: Chiaki?]] Was the thought of another student betraying the group too much to bear? Or was the guilt of voting for another student to be executed too much [[spoiler: due to Chiaki being manipulated into causing an AccidentalMurder?]] Quite notably, Hajime had to talk her and the rest into voting for Chiaki to be executed, so its possible Sonia was trying to get the group to [[DrivenToSuicide deliberately fail]], much like Aoi tried in the first game.

* Chihiro's gender, specifically whether they're a WholesomeCrosgender cisman, or a UsefulNotes/{{Transgender}} woman (the fact that Chihiro is ''biologically'' male is pretty clear), is the subject of some debate among western fans due to ValuesDissonance and the fact that his masculinity is only revealed by examining his body after his death, so Chihiro wasn't around to contradict Kyoko's assumptions. While it's definitely implied that Chihiro identifies as male (he's more comfortable hanging around the boys, he likes several 'manly' gifts such as the Blueberry Perfume and Leaf Loincloth while disliking girly ones, etc), it's only Chihiro's ending in the School Mode UpdatedReRelease, years after the debate started, that has Chihiro himself confirm his gender identity to Makoto. And even then, [[TransAudienceInterpretation a lot of fans (especially trans ones) like to interpret him as transgender because that's what they identify more with.]]

* Chihiro's gender is the subject of some debate. For a while, western fans wondered if he was a male WholesomeCrossdresser, a UsefulNotes/{{transgender}} woman, or something else entirely. Chihiro's School Mode ending in the UpdatedRerelease has him outright tell Makoto that he is male, so this long, base-breaking argument was addressed, but [[DeathOfTheAuthor this hasn't prevented some fans, particularly trans fans,]] from having their own interpretations anyway.

* Why did Leon resort to killing Sayaka instead of exposing her for attempting to kill her? Did the murder attempt give him an excuse to kill her? Was he too scared to think straight? Or considering he broke her wrist, he was afraid Sayaka was going use that to convince the others that he attacked her first?
