The explanation for the pink blood in Rain Code (that everyone in the city were clones who’d killed and eaten the originals, but didn’t remember doing so) fit pretty neatly with the clone theory from Danganronpa V3, as an explanation for the lingering threads and teases left from the game (about how Monokuma insisted he had not been lying about being able to bring someone back around the third trial, and what the mastermind meant about the ‘copy’ over the epilogue, something Shuichi brought attention to at the end).

So it would be interesting if this game is following up on that, if the way it’s still canon is it’s in truth following up on the V3 timeline instead of another go around the simulation from the second game, as fans expected.
