\n\n* To end this debate before things get out of hand:
** I am squarely on the side of those who believe the theory is baseless. The cast silhouettes are very likely non final in positioning and even then it's not like they add to anything, are you suggesting that the muscle character is a main character? Because I find that hard to believe.
** The evidence towards the Robo-Naegi not being protag is pretty bunk as well since the new set-up is made to show the protagonist he's front and centre on the promo art on the site, has the most promotion and, as always, has an IdiotHair. Given everything, I'd honestly be surprised he isn't protag.
** Are you forgetting that the novels protagonists and their quirks? Or the dozen or so other main characters in the franchise with their own traits? Honestly, considering what happens to Naegi and Hinata at the end of their games, I'd say the only 100% "normal" protagonist is Komaru.

\n\n** To this point, the protagonists haven't stood out among the rest of the cast, and they've been the least over-the-top. Why would they suddenly make the protagonist of the next game stand out?

\n*Except this is pure nonsense seeing how the cyborg looking student isn't even a robot as confirmed by Kodaka and his ahoge would give him more a chance of being MC over the pigtails girl. The reasoning for her on how she would be the protagonist is baseless speculation and honestly pure nonsense, More evidence goes towards the cyborg looking student being protagonist for now.

[[WMG: The girl with the pigtails is the actual protagonist.]]
In the silhouettes depicting the new cast, she appears to assume the central position, while the other assumed protagonist (robo-Naegi) is off to the side. Also, after two games where the protagonists were the "normal" students in a cast of over-the-top talented students, an obvious robot seems like a bit too much of a departure. Maybe the "robo-Naegi" character is a DecoyProtagonist, and might even end up as the first victim, after which the real protagonist takes over. She doesn't have the [[IdiotHair protagonist hair]], but if there's an Ultimate Barber/Hairdresser in the cast, she might end up having an ImportantHaircut.

[[WMG: Cyborg-kun is a prison guard.]]

And he's not the only cyborg skulking about, but for whatever reason, he was the only one to be captured or spared. The unfortunate situation hasn't shaken his contempt for the inmates (indeed, it may have worsened it), and he initially has little interest in cooperating with them, since his job is to keep them out of "civilized society" no matter the cost--and death is very effective at that.

Cyborg-kun's primary character arc will involve overcoming this contempt and realizing that, prisoner or no, the inmates are still human beings worthy of compassion and don't deserve to be put through mutual killing.

[[WMG: The talent designator for the students is not "Super High School Level".]]

Gifted Inmates Academy is explicitly said to be the SpiritualSuccessor to Hopes Peak. Going off this logic, it be...a bit odd, to say the least, if they retained the SHSL designator the talents. Furthermore, changing it would help push forwards a concept that the creators want to push forwards, that this is a new scenario and setting. Of course, that raises the question of how the localization would handle it...

* Adding evidence to this, the teaser trailer shown at TGS 2015 shows a trial of 8 Kurokuma, 7 Shirokuma and one Monomi. How very suspious. Of course, it could be just part of a twist that one of the students is innocent, not the protagonist.

* If she's the protagonist, she might be this game's Lucky Student or ??? character, though they've done these before. If they go with ???, a new spin on the concept is if she claims not to have a talent at all, adding to the mystery of what she's doing here.
* Ultimate Mystery Writer. "Mystery writer" might be an useful talent for trials, since writing mysteries for a living would translate well to solving them.
* Ultimate Lawyer. This is a series about trials, so having a bona-fide lawyer available would obviously be helpful.

[[WMG: The goatee dude's talent is...]]

* Ultimate Thief. He seems to have the right amount of smugness and shadiness to pull the concept off. Thief would make for an useful talent for investigations(being able to get into places he's not supposed to be).

Since the DR3 anime will be wrapping up the stories of Hope's Peak and Naegi, I'm guessing this game will take place in the future after the world has recovered enough from the Despairing Incident for a new school for talented students to open. Some of the new students here might be descendants of characters from the last two games.

Perhaps the DR3 anime will end with Naegi going back in time to prevent the Despairing Incident from happening. This game might therefore take place in a new timeline where Ultimate Despair failed, and the creation of this new school might be a consequence of that failure. The creators did cite ''BackToTheFuture'' as an influence in the new game during interviews.

Like the name suggests, the new academy is designed to house those students whose talents are dangerous to society, or who have histories of criminal behavior, mental instability, or general delinquency. The founders of the new school may have recognized the inherent danger in letting these kinds of students mingle with the sane, law-abiding ones, and quarantined them out of fear that they might be susceptible to falling under the influence of another Ultimate Despair.

There might be a sister school referenced somewhere for the talented students who aren't considered dangerous.
