* FridgeBrilliance: As one reviewer points out, not only have the locations of the two casts been swapped, but also their respective games' themes of Trust vs Distrust and Past vs Future. [[spoiler:Peko's decision not to tell Fuyuhiko the contents of her Motive Video drove a wedge of distrust between the two resulting in Fuyuhiko abandoning her to set up his DeathTrap which in turn shattered Chiaki's trust in her classmates and caused her to kill Fuyuhiko in an attempt to graduate. Kazuichi's encouragement to Sonia inadvertently caused her to prioritize her own secret and abandon her bonding attempts with her classmates with her poisoning attempt, and Akane's betrayal and attempted murder of Nekomaru shatters the bond between them as opposed to Nekomaru sacrificing himself for Akane in the canon [=SDR2=]]].

In the first ''Class Swap'', [[spoiler:Peko's decision not to tell Fuyuhiko the contents of her Motive Video drove a wedge of distrust between the two resulting in Fuyuhiko abandoning her to set up his DeathTrap which in turn shattered Chiaki's trust in her classmates and caused her to kill Fuyuhiko in an attempt to graduate.

And finally being distrusted by half of his remaining classmates caused Teruteru to contemplate ending his own life, and worst of all, he died trying to earn their trust back]]. As for ''Class Swap 2'', [[spoiler:Yasuhiro's words about Sakura giving in to the motive cause her to realize that it might be her chance to learn what happened to her family and boyfriend during the two years worth of memories that she's missing, so she decides to kill him in the heat of the moment. Hifumi tried to murder Genocider Syo because he had learned that she was responsible for the death of Kiyotaka's father and tried to get {{Revenge}} on his behalf. Kyoko decided to murder Mondo after regaining her memories of her time as a Remnant of Despair whereas Toko killed Genocider Syo once she saw her chance of getting away with murder because Syo being her SerialKiller SplitPersonality had negatively affected Toko all her life]].

** In Chapter 2 of ''Class Swap 2'' [[spoiler:Genocider Syo tells Mondo that he'd look great as one of her victims. In the very next chapter, Mondo is found dead in the same way all of Genocider Syo's victims were, but he wasn't killed by Syo, but by a Despair Disease-infected Kyoko]].

to:

** With this in mind, [[spoiler:Makoto telling Junko and Mukuro that his sister Komaru might just be his best friend becomes rather morbid when you remember that Makoto was shown alive in Towa City at the end of the first ''Class Swap'', meaning that he's definitely ''not'' the A.I. created by Future Foundation and that the possibility that he might have murdered Komaru himself during his time as a Remnant of Despair is not far-fetched]].
