"Danganronpa" creator Kazutaka Kodaka once again surprised fans with the third episode of "Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy Future Arc" entitled "Cruel Violence and Hollow Words."

The episode is a slow one compared to the first two, but there are still major reveals ahead.

Asahina Aoi Lives, Great Gozu Dies

About two minutes into episode three, it was revealed that Asahina Aoi is still alive. Makoto Naegi discovers that Aoi is not dead, and the knife that was shown towards the end of episode two is a dud.

However, the fans glee immediately turned into despair as it was also revealed that it was Great Gozu who was killed instead.

No Right Turns, No Punches

After escaping the room where they previously hid, and where Great Gozu's dead body is now laid, Naegi notices that Miaya Gekkogahara cannot make a right turn, and assumes that it was her NG code.

Miaya did not show her bracelet, which implies that she might be lying, and as we stated on Episode 2, we still believe her real NG code may be the "No Touching" rule.

Naegi shows her his own NG code, "no running in the hallways," saying that they need to trust each other if they want to make it out alive. Hina also shows her own NG code: one punch or kick will activate the poison on her bracelet.

This explains why she did not interfere when Naegi was being harassed by Juzo Sakakura.

Kimura, Izayoi and Ando

Seiko Kimura confronts Sonosuke Izayoi and Ruruka Ando, who accuses her of being the traitor. Koichi Kizakura said that the three former students still cannot let go of the previous incident, which may not be revealed until much later.

Naegi vs Munakata

The episode closes with Kyosuke Munakata talking to Naegi about hope and despair, and how he must be eliminated to preserve hope.

Munakata is consumed by his strong belief in hope, according to former headmaster Kazuo Tengan, and he pointed out that excessive hope leads to despair.

''Too bad this wasn't a class trial, huh?" Munakata asks Naegi as he proceeds to attack him.

The next episode of "Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy" Future Arc will be shown next Monday, August 1.
