*** [[spoiler: Can't be Mukuro's. Komaeda's "Junko Arm" has real long, red fingernails. Mukuro's were fake. And since Komaeda says the arm is completely infunctional, wouldn't that also mean that the nails would no longer grow, even if it was attached to a living body? And even so, I doubt Komaeda is the type to paint the nails red as a memento to Enoshima]].

* In chapter 6, [[spoiler: A Naegi made by Junko, to trick the students into picking "Graduation, appeared. The way to expose the Naegi as a fake, is to ask him what the meaning of the password, 11037, means, which Fake!Naegi didn't know the answer to. However, he should know as he is controlled by Junko, who has seen Maizono's trial and should know why Naegi chose the password, not to mention the fact that they spent time together pre-Despair Incident, so basically Junko knew Naegi for 2+ years, and ''still'' doesn't know why Naegi picked 11037 as his password.]]

** Possibly due to EvilCannotComprehendGood, [[spoiler:as Junko perhaps knows about the number, but didn't know that Naegi accepted Kirigiri's theory that Maizono wrote it to save him; from what he says, he doesn't seem fully convinced]]. Alternatively, [[spoiler:somehow, the AI Junko doesn't have that memory]]. It should also be pointed out that [[spoiler:the five remaining students are already suspicious of Fake!Naegi, since he had just told them they couldn't defy the Future Foundation in spite of the fact that the real Naegi disobeyed orders and got an angry e-mail from his superiors]].

** If [[spoiler:Hinata ran as fast as he could from the hospital to the club, then almost immediately left the club and ran to the motel, how did Tsumiki have time to do everything she did?]] Not only that, but the [[spoiler:Climax Logic segment implies that she was hiding out behind the club when Hinata left for the motel.]] Even if [[spoiler:she left immediately after Hinata, she still would have needed to get behind the building without him noticing, and he was only inside for... 15 seconds before heading for the motel?]] And, once again, that assumes that [[spoiler:she sprinted to the club immediately after Hinata did; before she could've left, she needed to hide everything she used to fake the feed (ladder, rope, candle, hospital gown), meet up with and explain the situation to Kuzuryuu, then get to the club.]] The only conclusion I can come up with is that the [[spoiler:Climax Logic segment was wrong and Tsumiki was still running to the club when Hinata left, but even then, it's hard to see how she had time. And that's not even going into how long it would have taken Kuzuryuu to get to the hospital from the first island, considering that he left after the morning announcement, when Hinata was already sprinting to the club, and he was walking.]] The timing of this incident makes no sense whatsoever!

** Why was [[spoiler:Nidai not allowed to participate in the Class Trial? That was a blatant violation of the rules, regardless of his condition.]] The rules, which Monokuma holds as sacred, stated that [[spoiler:attendance was mandatory, and it doesn't mention that those who aren't physically up to it are excused (unless you're dead, of course). Heck, they were able to meet the fully-functional mecha-Nidai immediately after the trial was over, so it's hard to see how he could have been fine after the trial, but not before. And even if he only did become functional during the trial, why didn't Monokuma just wait an extra hour before starting the trial?]] Now, obviously, it wouldn't have been near as dramatic to have had [[spoiler:Nidai show up right before the trial, since we would have had to just ignore the fact that he's a robot while figuring out the murder, but all the same, it doesn't make any sense why Monokuma would excuse him from participating.]]

** Why would [[spoiler:Tsumiki strangle Mioda instead of just hanging her?]] It's implied (or, at least, the only explanation is) that, [[spoiler:after strangling her, Tsumiki put the noose around Mioda's neck, lowered the lighting rig, attached the other end of the rope to the rig, and then raised the rig back up again.]] But [[spoiler:she could have easily just skipped the strangling part and hung her; then, the most decisive piece of evidence against her, the rope, wouldn't have proven anything, and she wouldn't have had to lie about Mioda's cause of death!]]

** [[spoiler:Tsumiki's original plan was to emulate the movie by having her victim be hanged.]] But, why? There's no reason why [[spoiler:she would do a copycat murder if her original plan only called for one victim. Fortunately for her, a second one came along, and she was able to confuse the order of events,]] but why [[spoiler:emulate the movie if it's just going to end up clearing the most immediately suspicious person (Hinata) as a suspect?

** [[spoiler:Komaeda, unlike normal, was 100% against the culprit this time. The reason he gives is that these murders were done purely to create despair and not in the hope of getting out.]] But how did [[spoiler:he know that? He wouldn't have any way of knowing what was going on through the culprit's head; there's no reason to assume that the culprit would have done anything different had they been acting out of hope rather than despair.]]

** How did [[spoiler:Tsumiki cut off the video feed? It's heavily implied that the candle did go out, and that the camera was destroyed once she got to the club, but either way, how was she able to ensure that Hinata's screen would go dark the instant she wanted it to?]]

And [[spoiler:while being carried off to Heaven ''may'' have subverted the dark overlord thing, the "lifted up to the skies to be immortalized in the stars" is the kind of thing he seemed to want in his pre-execution spiel]]. The whole thing is just very romantic and fantastical in tone, but seems absent of mockery like, say, [[spoiler:Celes]]' was. Maybe the irony ''is'' supposed to be subtler than normal and I'm just not seeing it, I don't know.
* In the second trial, [[spoiler:why does Peko do that spiel about how the students should let her go free because she's Kirakira and needs to do justice etc. if she ''wanted'' to get pinned as the culprit? If the students did as she asked, they most likely would have voted for Kuzuryuu instead (since he was the most suspicious next to her), which would have utterly ruined her plan.]]

* [[spoiler:Gundam's execution]] isn't an ironic death at all -- it's exactly the kind of romantic death they claim they want just before going to the execution. Why did Monobear choose to do that instead of twisting the knife at the last moment like he usually does?

** It's ironic because [[spoiler:he's trampled by animals]]. On top of that, [[spoiler:the magical circle he draws to protect himself does a grand total of jack shit -- much like how all his posturing and grand declarations amounted to nothing.

** I would think that the reason he couldn't move it [[spoiler: was because the surgery to attach it wasn't done properly. Most likely, he actually cut off his own hand and just stitched hers onto the stump. Going by how crazy the Despair students are said to be, it wouldn't be surprising if they took her body parts and mutilated themselves to attach them without any medical help, because that just gives them more despair and shows how far off the rocker they are.]] And even if that's not the case, [[spoiler: it still doesn't explain how there were parts of Junko still around when her body should have been pulverized to a pulp- literally. The Detention execution didn't dismember her, it squashed her! And going by how big the block was and how she was positioned, there should be nothing left of her that isn't flattened, let alone perfectly intact like her hand or eye.]] Of course, this is Dangan Ronpa so there probably is no reasonable explanation for how or why.

** It's possible [[spoiler:they were too caught up in their obsession to CARE whether the parts were actually salvagable or not. Komaeda mentions he can't actually MOVE his left hand...]]

* So toward the end it is mentioned that [[spoiler: people used various parts of Junko's body for various reasons, like one person transplanting Junko's eye into their head or Komaeda attaching her hand to his own arm.]] But that shouldn't be possible at all. [[spoiler: If her body was flattened during the Detention part of the execution, how was any part of her that salvageable?]]
