And if the students try to vote for the victim as a loophole, someone will be ''randomly selected'' to be punished.
* NotMeThisTime: After not one, but two murderers go free, characters are constantly worrying about if those people have struck again; they often ask if the skeleton key won from one of the motives has been used, and those convicted of other murders are usually asked if they had any part in the previous deaths. The deadblog characters in particular are ''very'' suspicious of [[spoiler:Kozure]], because they ''know'' he's one of the murderers. In every trial after he gets away, at least one person suspects that he's the murderer of that week's case. [[spoiler:He never is. Additionally, Kozure is unable to hear and respond to their accusations, so he doesn't even have a chance to correct them.]]

Endgame spoilers.
Added DiffLines:
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:A major part of endgame is dedicated to cloning the dead students, and everyone manages to escape Gaia alive. However, Japan is still reeling from the fallout of [=DA2=]'s ending: The government and economy are in shambles, rioting is common in heavily-populated cities like Tokyo, and the Collective and Doctrina Artifice both have tight grips on the country. The A-Team and many students seem determined to [[LaResistance rebel against these groups and restore Japan to normal]], but it's unknown if they will succeed. Furthermore, some students are still badly traumatized by what they've been through, and a few are even shown to be highly likely to commit suicide.]]
* [[spoiler:BrainUploading / BodyBackupDrive]]: [[spoiler: The technology seen in [=DA2=] shows up in a more refined form in [=DA3=]; the anklets act much like the Augmentation Chips from the previous game, recording the same information about personality, appearance, and memories, and saving it into Elysium. In the event that someone with an anklet dies, this data can then be inserted into a recreated human body to effectively revive that person…or into a robot to give them a long life in a body that won't easily be destroyed.]]
** During endgame, [[spoiler: Yuuto showcases the latter option and offers the same choice to the rest of the students, although no one even considers it. Several survivors ''do'' opt to clone human bodies for the dead kids, however, and after three months of work all of the dead students are cloned, with their data implanted into their new bodies.]]

** [[spoiler:With the deadblog now public, it's now known that Ryota and Lee also inflicted this ''on themselves''. For extra points, Lee's suicide happened during the trial for Nicanor's murder, shortly before Tamaki was executed, making ''three decapitations'' in less than twenty-four hours.]]
Added DiffLines:
* [[spoiler:TheStarscream]]: Part of the Masterminds' plans. [[spoiler:Despite being employees of the Collective, they turned against the organization after Doctrina Artifice (which Wakana also happened to be a part of) made its broadcast and triggered nationwide turmoil. The two then began making plans to take control away from both groups, with Yuuto destroying what remained of the corruption in the world and Wakana leading the rebirth of society.]]
Added DiffLines:
** It's frequently mentioned in the deadblog that [[spoiler:Kozure killed Emiko]], while out-of-character posts revealed that [[spoiler:Shay and Naori worked together to kill Takumi, with Shay dealing the final blow]].
Added DiffLines:
** Out-of-character posts have revealed that it was [[spoiler:Gorou]].

Gonna add a few things before endgame, though I\'ll avoid certain plot spoilers revealed on character blogs.
Added DiffLines:
* GhostAmnesia: A necessity in the deadblogs due to the risk of metagaming through a trial using a victim's knowledge. A newly-murdered character will awaken with no recollection of how they died or who killed them; at earliest, their memories only return once the trial for their death is over, although it can take longer depending on the players' preferences.
Added DiffLines:
** Sometimes, mistrials are intentionally invoked by the students if they can't find a clear suspect in their current trial. If there is still a confirmed or suspected murderer among them, there might be a push to execute that person as a scapegoat so that at the very least they can remove one threat to their safety. ''Black'' managed to pull this off twice.
Added DiffLines:
** ''Alpha'': Chie Narita and Chiemi Shinozaki. It's noted they even look similar. [[spoiler:They quickly become romantically involved, and even though they break up due to the stress of the game, they remain in love.]]
Added DiffLines:
* [[spoiler:TheBusCameBack]]: [[spoiler:From the eighth chapter onwards, dead students begin making appearances in Tartarus, interacting with other characters as if they were alive. The details behind why they're able to do this are not publicly explained, and it's implied they're restricted in both where they can go and how long they can stay, but their appearances still tend to cause a stir among those who recognize them.]]

* GeniusBonus: In addition to Nicanor and Tamaki's many references, the body discovery for [[spoiler: Emiko]] was titled ''Snedronningen Regeringstid Ender'', which is Danish for [[spoiler: The Snow Queen's Reign Ends]].
Added DiffLines:
* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic / HilariousInHindsight: [[spoiler: Emiko]] is found crucified in the Abandoned Ward, leading to many jokes about how they died for everyone's sins. [[spoiler: Come the tenth trial, and it's revealed that the person who she allowed to be executed in her place was the '' '''Mastermind''' ''.]]

** ''Alpha'' has Ayako Itou and ''Omega'' has Minako Ito; their surnames are different Romanizations of the same spelling in kanji. [[spoiler:Ayako dies long before the merge while Minako doesn't die until the final chapter, meaning that there is a very small window of opportunity where they could have met.]]

** Chapter 9's Abnormal Days begins with [[spoiler:Monobear splitting the survivors into groups of three and sending them out into three separate locations, all while making baseball jokes. Eva is found dead by one group...and the post ends with the words "strike one". That's right, there are ''three deaths'', with Aome and Kaoru showing up dead shortly afterwards.]]

First, after the murder victim is discovered, [[spoiler:Imogen furiously demands that the culprit show themselves, prompting Monobear to mock her on how she always does this and use Aqua's words against her. She then shoots him with her uzi, but all this accomplishes is pissing him off. Monobear executes Imogen right on the spot, using a bladed disk to carve straight through her chest.]]
*** Second, the two Masterminds are caught during Monobear Theater, marking two firsts in the history of the game: One Mastermind [[spoiler:simply confesses right there, congratulating everyone for figuring her out and making her apologies and goodbyes to her dearest friends]]. The other one [[spoiler:doesn't confess...because he was ''falsely convicted and executed'' in the ''very first trial''.]]
