10 Second Anime - Danganronpa - Episode 8

Danganronpa - Episode 8

Sakura is the mole, but she doesn't want to work for Monokuma anymore. She ends up being the next victim in a classic locked room murder mystery, even though her job was to do the killing if the murders stopped.

This Monokuma guy is pretty smart. After the mole, whose role is to commit murders if the kids stop killing each other, decides to stop working, Monokuma just outs her, to rile up the remaining students. Either they kill Sakura, because they don't trust her word that she stopped working for the mastermind, or they kill each other over their alliances. Nice.

Meanwhile, more backstory gets revealed. The origin of this plot to have these talented kids live, and if need be, confined to the school, came from the school they're locked up in. Some crisis happened, Hope's Peak Academy went bankrupt, but the plot went ahead anyway, but with this perverse Survivor game added on to it. Is Monokuma related to this calamity that caused the closure of the school? Plus, among the files detailing this original plan are more pictures of the recently dead students playing together as if they knew each other in the past, even though they were all strangers at the start of the story.

Then we get our next victim, Sakura the mole, murdered in the classic room locked from the inside mystery. Somehow, I think finding that poison in nurse's office will play a role in figuring out whodunit.
