Summary

After Makoto leaves for his walk, Kyoko finds herself approached by Mukuro, who informs her that Makoto might be in danger. Will the Ultimate Detective be able to reach Makoto in time to rescue him?

Tropes

• Actual Pacifist: When Kyoko asks Makoto how he's so optimistic despite all the bullying he went through, he admits that his way of fighting back is by being friendly with people since he couldn't overpower his bullies.
• Deadly Prank: It's revealed that all the attacks on Class 78 were done by Junko as pranks.
• Gut Feeling: While telling Kyoko that Makoto might be in danger, Mukuro says it's because she had a sense of dread when she sees Makoto leave for his walk.
• Immediate Sequel: This chapter takes place immediately after the previous chapter.
• Karma Houdini: Despite the fact that her pranks nearly got her classmates horribly maimed or killed, Jin only suspends Junko until the end of the school year, much to Class 78's outrage. Though in Jin's defense, he wanted to expel her, but wasn't allowed to due to the Steering Committee forcing him to keep Junko at Hope's Peak.
• Thinking the Same Thought: When Makoto and Kyoko accidentally walk in on Sayaka and Leon kissing, they both have daydreams of kissing each other.
• You Are Better Than You Think: When Makoto start wondering if his bullies were right about him being worthless, Kyoko makes it clear that someone that could get someone like her to come out of her shell and befriend her classmates isn't worthless and that he's strong in his own way.
