I was looking back at how Kaito revealed himself in the 5th trial and a certain comment caught my interest.
Monokuma already had the hint that it could be Kaito in the Exisal. And the chance of Shuichi's lie actually working is a 50/50 chance but still low with the way Monokuma responded to Shuichi.
Kaito getting the hint that Monokuma was not fooled by Shuichi's lie completely took the bullet and the blame for Shuichi's mistake. And in a way there are players that blame Kaito for this, which is what Kaito wanted since he did say "I'll take full responsibility". Thankfully I've seen Let's Players actually understood that Shuichi's lie wasn't gonna work on Monokuma. It was all left to luck in hoping that Monokuma would get it wrong. And Kaito wasn't gonna gamble on everyone's lives.
So in a way Kaito did take responsibility for Shuichi's mistake here. Shuichi's mistake was revealing the truth and helping Monokuma without a second thought till it was already too late.
Kaito did put everything on Kokichi's plan, believing it could work out but he also knew Shuichi would foil the plan. Kaito still looked at the positive side for Shuichi to keep pushing forward, even though he was minutes away from dying. But the sad truth is that Shuichi did push Kaito to reveal the plan, as Shuichi said he cornered Kaito.
Remember Shuichi is terrified of revealing the truth and this trial could have 100% rebound Shuichi back to being how he was in Chapter 1.
But thankfully Kaito made Shuichi promise him to end the killing game. It paralleled Kaede's trial but showed Shuichi's development. Instead of the quiet meek teen he was in Chapter 1, he now back talks at Monokuma.
Shuichi talking back at Monokuma will always be my favorite, this is what Kaito wanted Shuichi to do in Chapter 1 instead of blaming himself.
I feel like I could write more but I just wanted to throw this little food for thought out there.
I like how Danganronpa V3 doesn't spoon feed to the players. There's just so much to analyze and interpret in the game.

Hey everyone. I hate that I’m here once again announcing that I’ve made another callout video, but this one is really serious. So please, if you’re in a safe headspace to do so, please watch this video. It’s in some ways a follow up to my Zemaroon video, but this time it’s about Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 (the ones referred to as “F” and “V” in the previous video).
Agent0Fluffy has been beyond inappropriate with a minor, and both Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 are a danger to minors overall.
If you’re comfortable doing so, please also share this video to help spread awareness about what these people have done – especially Agent0Fluffy, who has a large platform, and whose actions are technically a crime. The more awareness is raised, the easier it’ll be to prevent something terrible like this from happening again.
I truly didn’t want to have to do this, and working on this video for the past two months has felt like absolute torture. All I’ve ever wanted to do is make content to entertain people, and instead I’ve become a harbinger of despair, spreading misery across the fandoms that I love. But I can’t sit by and allow people like Zemaroon, Agent0Fluffy, and GravityUniverse115 to continue endangering others. My inaction made me complicit before, and I won’t allow that to happen again.
I’m emotionally preparing myself for the backlash I’ll probably receive from this video, but I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I sat back and allowed more people to get hurt. Depending on how bad the backlash is, it’s possible I might step away for a while. We’ll see how things go. But after being emotionally beaten down for all of 2024, this whole situation with Agent0Fluffy and GravityUniverse115 has felt like some kind of deathblow. I was trying so hard to glue together the shattered pieces of what I’d built, but they’ve been scattered so far now, I don’t think many of the pieces can ever be found again.
I hope there will be better times ahead, but that’s seeming less likely with each passing day. Perhaps it would be better to say: “I hope there will be safer times ahead” for everyone.
Thank you to everyone who's been so supportive through all of this, and to everyone who's helped out with this mess. And to everyone who's been affected by all of this, I am so sorry. I truly do hope things will get better soon..........
