** Adding to this, the pause is very short, only long enough for [[spoiler: Junko to get that puzzled expression. If it had waited any longer, she likely would have begun to feel despair over not being killed.]] Similarly, it mirrors the way [[spoiler: Mukuro Ikusaba]] was killed, as both of them felt [[spoiler: confusion]] before they died; [[spoiler: Mukuro because she didn't think she would be killed, and Junko because she thought she ''would''.]]

** On the other hand... [[spoiler: Since we don't know ''when'' Touko Fukawa died, it's not unlikely that her death happened quite recently. Therefore, there's atleast the possibility that one of the three children might be hers -- including the boy fathered by Togami. Does this mean, then, that she fell victim to ''DeathByChildbirth'', and maybe by giving birth to the child of [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys the guy she either loved or believed that she loved]]?]] Eeeeeeep.

The pause was for getting rid of all the accumulated despair before going for the kill.]]

* All the way back in Chapter 1, Junko broke a rule, and Monobear [[spoiler:killed her by summoning spears of Gungnir]]. This notably happens before the first execution, where we find out that Monobear tailors the executions to the culprit. Given that Junko didn't murder anyone and got killed in such an unfitting way can be chalked up to that it's not a trial, and any other inconsistencies (such as her choice of words) can be explained away. [[spoiler:However, if "Junko" was a soldier who took part in a mercenary group called Fenrir, and conspired with the mastermind as a fellow SHSL despair, then this is put into a whole new light! Leon wasn't the first execution: Mukuro Ikusaba is! And given her choice of words, it's likely that she was betrayed by the mastermind.]]

To put it in poker terms, she just got dealt only a pair of twos while Naegi has a Royal Flush, and you can only Bluff so far with that.]]

** It goes beyond that. [[spoiler: Kigiri went through the game with a calm and collected presence no matter what happened. Always looking ahead without fear or hesitation.]] So what does Monobear do? [[spoiler: Puts her on a slowly moving conveyor belt facing 'away' from a very loud, constantly moving crusher. Notice how at first she seems to be her usual unshaking self, until you keep hearing the crusher, and seeing the screen vibrate with each crush, as it gets closer and closer but she can't turn around to see it. Watch how her expression changes from stoic, to worried, to terrified and finally to quiet acceptance. The entire thing was meant to finally break Kirigiri's composure.]]

* In Case 1, before the murder actually happens, everyone makes a big deal about what bullshit Monobear is spouting if he actually thinks the students would ever resort to murder. Besides, Naegi thinks, they all seem like such nice people, don't they? (Oowada's bad temper, Fukuwa's paranoia, and Togami's jerkass tendencies aside.) Well obviously, a murder ''does'' happen, but that's obvious when it comes to this game. The Fridge Horror kicks in when Monobear executes [[spoiler: Leon Kuwata]], the first murderer: everyone crowds around to watch the execution up close! ''Everyone!'' Nobody tries to stop [[spoiler: the baseball machine from beating Leon to death]], nobody throws up, nobody even averts their eyes. They just...stand there, like members of a lynch mob who aren't actually participating in the lynching. Certainly they all call Monobear a monster, say this is too cruel, etc., but that's ''after'' the execution is over. While it's happening, they all crowd around outside [[spoiler: the batting cage]] like solemn judges. This is the player's first clue that ''all'' the students are capable of murder, and thus everyone is a suspect in every case.

Considering the events just prior to the murder, that was supposed to be [[spoiler: ''Sakura's'' execution.]]

* [[spoiler: The same goes for the second execution. Mondo is basically a person built on weakness and lies. He was looked down upon for being in his brother's shadow, he lied about his mistake getting his big brother killed, he couldn't overcome his weakness and snapped when Chihiro ''could''. So what does Monokuma do? His punishment, forcing Mondo to ride a motorcycle at speeds that turn him into paste, basically strip Mondo of any identity he has, ''even his corpse'', which Monokuma ''eats''.

* Monokuma tailors each of his [[CruelAndUnusualDeath punishments]] to fit the victim in ways beyond the immediately obvious. For instance, while the connection between the first murderer and their method of punishment is blatant, [[RelationshipValues spending Free Time]] with [[spoiler:Kuwata]] reveals another layer: [[spoiler:Leon frequently skipped practice, feeling he didn't have to go because of his natural talent. Monokuma literally ''drags'' him into the batting cage and forces him to stay there until he's finished.]]
* Similiarly, Chapter 3's execution makes more sense in light of the murderer's character: [[spoiler:Celes presents a romanticized front, and wished to go out in a blaze of darkly dramatic glory, an image she tried to mantain at the very end. Monokuma deliberately plays on this, making her believe she's going to die in a suitably gothic fashion -- before pulling a bait and switch at the last moment.]]
