ok new theory timmmmmeeeee
So when you go to Kaito's research lab in the start of chapter 5, there's that big ass spaceship simulator, right? But Katio says (look it up if you don't believe me) that it's way more complicated than the simulators he trained with in the past. OBVIOUSLY this links to the later flashback light, where it's "revealed" that everyone is on a giant spaceship sent to seek out a habitable world after humanity was destroyed by the meteor strikes, which is a pretty neat piece of foreshadowing.
The problem is is that Tsumugi is a
total fucking dogshit writer.
(please italicise correctly)Like, in the final trial, she immediately loses it and goes
HNNNGH, WELL, I'M ACTUALLY JUNKO ENOSHIMA LIII, AND I'M SO SKIBIDILICIOUSLY DESPAIRFUL!!! WOW, YOU GUYS HAVE TOTALLY GOT TO USE YOUR LE HECKING HOPE TO OVERCOME THE DESPAIR!!!,
in addition to a bunch of other poor writing choices she makes, like, for example, having everyone remember the exact same Hope's Peak backstory (thus creating holes in her ability to convince them of the backstory's legitimacy) (also everyone having different talents despite being exposed to the same initial flashback lights is evidence that everyone remembering the same thing isn't just The Way They Work (TM)), or making Kiibo's connection to the outside world dependent entirely on his antenna.
So, basically what I'm getting at, is that that level of subtle foreshadowing is totally beyond 'mugi.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
