** For why he needed them, it was probably less for helping him reach the circle and more for helping him know where he was on the circle once he made it there. If he just walked there blindly in the dark, he could have ended up on any point of the circle and needed to take the time to deduce which direction to go from there. He could've made it there eventually if he had the time, but he only had until the song was finished to make his way to the floorboard, stomp it, and trace his way back. The corner lines made it so he could commit the murder swiftly.

** They don't. Kaede thinks there is, but after she dies, the students give up on the search until the mech holding bay is found- and only then because Shuichi notices that it has a bathroom. Monokuma wouldn't need one, so there must be a biological human who would be entering the bay regularly enough to need their own bathroom, even before the students were allowed. Since that person isn't a normal student and Monokuma hasn't raised a big stink about someone unauthorized on the grounds, they must have been working with Monokuma all along, giving credence to Kaede's theory.

** Additionally, shot put balls are meant to be thrown with one hand and track & field teams have plenty of girls that do this.
** To answer the second question, if the show ran for 53 seasons, V3 is probably set decades after the in universe releases of the Danganronpa video games/side media so it definitely takes place a pretty large amount of time after the 2010s, and we’re only in the 2020s as of writing this, so futuristic technology is plausible.

[[folder: Rantaro’s whereabouts before Danganronpa V3 (MAJOR CHAPTER 5/6 SPOILERS)]]
* How was Rantaro allowed in the Gofer Project if his talent would’ve been Ultimate Survivor by that point? Isn’t that a bit too unconventional? I also doubt that Team Danganronpa would even let him roam free in the real world between seasons 52 and 53. If I recall correctly, it’s implied that all of the students in the Gofer Project were normal high school students and recently-titled Ultimates at that point, and the existence of the Ultimate Hunt combined with Rantaro’s face being a part of the fake funeral confirms that he was out there and therefore not in the captivity of Team Danganronpa between seasons 52 and 53, which creates several plot holes. My only plausible theory is that it’s just in-universe bad writing for the sake of having a cameo and some sort of connection to the previous season for V3.

[[folder: Looking for the mastermind]]
* While trying to figure the mastermind's identity, why doesn't anyone even entertain the thought that the mastermind could be Monokuma himself? In the previous games the students would assume there had to be someone controlling Monokuma, because he was just a robot. But in this game they actually have a fully sentient robot among them - Keebo. So why can't Monokuma be sentient and acting of his own will?

* Maybe it's a minor thing, but I don't get why Korekiyo changed the design of the magic circle and added those lines leading to the corners of the room. All those additional lines did was cast suspicion on him, and his plan of hiding them was merely hoping they would be sufficiently destroyed by the crowd before someone took notice. It's explained he drew them in order to find the circle in the dark, but did he really need them? If you are positioned in a corner and you can feel both walls behind you, it should be easy to orient yourself towards the center of the room. All he had to do was to reach forward until he felt the salt line. It didn't seem to be too far from where he was.

*** There was still a chance of being spotted, if someone happened to be up that night. Even if they didn't think much of it at the time, they could still bring it up during the trial and then she'd become suspicious. She probably thought leaving the inner tube as it is would be safer. Even if it clued the others in about the method of the murder is still didn't point out to her as the culprit. As for the cloth scraps, she might've genuinely not noticed it. Remember, it was nighttime, and it's very unlikely she'd switch the light on, so even with a very good eyesight it's easy to miss a small piece of dark cloth near a dark inner tube in a dark pool.

Plus he's not moving that close to anyone else, if his voice is bouncing off of the walls or getting drowned out by the others he's still vaguely in the direction they remember him being in.
