Nami Hito:In one of Nami's flash backs,there's a girl named An who calls her normal or ordinary,if the theory that Kafuka's real name is 'An Akagi; is correct then that girl is most likely Kafuka(The girl even looks like her). Perhaps Kafuka started the whole 'normal' teasing(the way she goes on about it,it seems like something that's followed her around) and has roped her into helping by promising that there will be no 'ordinary or normal' people in the new world. Because she's so normal people probably don't look twice when she starts snooping around and digging up dirt about them...

\n* Some related ideas: Kiri and Kafuka were both born with the shinigami eyes (hence why they both have red eyes). Kiri became a hikikomori because she didn't want to always see how long people had to live. On the other hand, Kafuka [[GoMadFromTheRevelation went mad from the revelation]]. Both of them are drawn to Nozomu, because similarly to [[{{Discworld}} Rincewind]], he has a weird combination of amazing luck and awful luck with the result that it's not clear when/if he'll die. Also, Chiri is definitely Kira material. She and Mikami would be a perfect couple.

[[WMG:Kafuka is a Kira]]

(tl;dr warning)

Sometime before the show started,Kafuka received a Death Note in a manner similar to Light and also decided to rid the world of 'undesirables'. She killed her parents first(Have we actually seen her parents,other than in flashbacks?) and came up with the college student persona so she'd have a someone to place the blame on if she ever got caught. A couple months in,she met Itoshiki, whom she fell in love with. She writes in her Death Note that he'll kill himself after she dies to make sure that he wouldn't leave her(which explains why he doesn't die in situations that would kill a normal man,why she's never worried about him committing suicide and why he's chasing after her in the first ED). She enrolls in his class to be close to him,only to find that the entire class is filled with 'undesirables'(with five exceptions,but I'll get to that). Realizing that she can't kill them all or risk being caught,she comes up with outlandish excuses for their psychosis,so that she doesn't feel like she's failing herself(hence her declaration of 'How could a ____ like that exist so close to me?!' a.k.a. ''There's no way I'd allow something like that to go unpunished!''). She never gives out her real name and tries her best to creep the other students out,hoping that they'll move away so their deaths will be harder to trace back to her. Every mention of 'pororoca' is a reference to Shinigami so that her five subordinates will know what she's talking about and when she wrote 'God' on her career hopes survey she was admitting that she's trying to become 'God of the New World'. Her five subordinates are the only other people she feels she can trust in her school:

Chiri Kitsu:The Second Kira. They have similar goals,Chiri will do anything to see that the world is in perfect order and she was born with a shinigami eye.(It's also why the two of them hang out so much,even though they seem to have nothing in common and why Kafuka never makes excuses for Chiri's behavior.)

Jun Kudo:His love of stories led him to help Kafuka and Chiri complete their goal(He wants to be able to tell their story once they create the new world). He reads the news paper to find out about other 'undesirables' that Kafuka may have missed and as far as we know he doesn't have any psychosis.


Chie Arai:The Third Kira. She has shinigami eyes(hence everyone's fear of her stare) and seems to have a superiority complex(she and Kafuka also hang out a lot).


Nami Hito:In one of Nami's flash backs,there's a girl named An who calls her normal or ordinary,if the theory that Kafuka's real name is 'An Akagi; is correct then that girl is most likely Kafuka(The girl even looks like her). Perhaps Kafuka started the whole 'normal' teasing(the way she goes on about it,it seems like something that's followed her around) and has roped her into helping by promising that there will be no 'ordinary or normal' people in the new world. Because she's so normal people probably don't look twice when she starts snooping around and digging up dirt about them...


Maria:Even though she's an illegal immigrant,Kafuka can't bring herself to kill her and much like Nami,she's being used for recon.(She seems to have the same creepy thing going on that Kafuka does)


Abiru Kobushi and Kagero Usui are the only ones who notice something is up,the former will soon die in an animal 'accident' and no one even sees the latter(and he'll probably kill himself after Abiru dies anyway),[[DownerEnding leaving Kafuka undefeated.]]

This troper believes that "Kafuka Fuura" is juts a personality created by the girl to be able to cope with her tragic past. It is actually mentioned in the series that Kafuka is not her real name. In response to Kimura having developed split personalities from trying to adapt to Japanese and whatever-the-country-she-lived-in culture, she mentions having done a similar thing in order to fit in after moving to another part of the country, but she mentions creating two personalities in addition to her own. Maybe one of those is her true self, and she created the eternally cheerful Kafuka so she wouldn't have to deal with her father and mother trying to kill themselves and all the other nasty stuff that happened to her. Her traumatised real persona occasionally surfaces, explaining her yandere-moments and the fact she's seemingly unaware that she's thinkign about killing he other students in one episode(as that was her true persona thinking).

* This troper thinks Kagerou will survive as well, because no one really notices him in the killing spree. This doesn't help Itoshiki, though, asher doesn't notice him either.

This is sort of inspired by the episode where the class breaks Nozomu out of confinement, as well as an instance in the manga where Chiri tries to act out the plot of ''BattleRoyale''. While Nozomu and the class are unaware of this, they were actually selected as part of a GovernmentConspiracy to train agents that will help free Japan from its "peacetime boke" (see that episode with Maria) and allow it to TakeOverTheWorld. The project is funded by Nozomu's father, who is both one of the wealthiest people in Japan and a member of Parliament. The cast's skills are as follows:
*Harumi is an amazingly gifted athlete and would have both combat skills and would easily infiltrate a building.
*Chiri is clearly a very skilled killer and has clairvoyant abilities.
*Abiru apparently has the best grades in the class and can strangle people with her bandages.
*Usui can turn himself invisible.
*Kafuka is a MasterOfDisguise and likely could be a competent assassin. In one episode she has access to secret information.
*Kaere has been shown to be fairly athletic and is being molded into a HoneyTrap.
*Matoi can follow someone ''everywhere''.
*Kiri is skilled at fitting into confined spaces and could be MissionControl.
*Nami, being utterly normal would be the perfect spy, functioning as TheNondescript.
*Jinroku is a former {{Yakuza}} assassin.
*Chie would probably be a good HoneyTrap.

[[WMG: Kafuka writes the series.]]
To wit: Mostof the more normal stories — Itoshiki-sensei's trips into town with the girls to find things to despair about; most of the classroom stuff — actually happened, while the more surrealistic episodes are stories that Kafuka makes up to poke fun at and to entertain her class, Itoshiki-sensei and herself. It explains why she's always around, and it even help explain the single-trait characterization and Flanderization of the girls and Itoshiki-sensei — it'd be damn hard to display your friends' full range of emotional depth in a verbal story, so Kafuka simplifies them. The connection with her name, particularly that it's explicitly called a "pen name", also makes sense.

Most versions of the myth say that Hope was trapped in the box. [[FridgeLogic But if you think about it,]] if unleashing the evils from the box is what allows them to be experienced, wouldn't you ''want'' Hope to escape? This Troper once read a version saying that what was trapped in the box was, in fact, "Despair." Were Despair to escape, humanity would be deprived of hope. Thus we come to my WildMassGuess, which suggests that, through some form of magic or another, Itoshiki is, in fact, the human form of Pandora's Box, which holds back the bulk of the world's Despair.

Her overly optimistic and/or bizarre takes on reality have been shown to come true. For instance, Kiri (somehow) ultimately did turn out to be zashki-warashi. Also, Kafuka's refusal to believe Nozomu was trying to kill himself has been born out. It's ultimately revealed that he deliberately sabotages his suicide attempts so that he won't die (i.e. training his neck muscles), and is really more of an AttentionWhore.
