Welcome to the second trial for Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. In this trial, you must solve the murder of Chihiro Fujisaki, the Ultimate Programmer.
As usual, this trial has plenty of twists and turns. With every game trial, there are fewer people in the courtroom. At this point though, the room is still pretty full; enjoy it while it lasts.
Updated March 19, 2022 by Jacqueline Zalace: As Danganronpa continues to stump players with unique murders and trials, we have updated this guide to better help you understand the murder of Chihiro Fujisaki. Additionally, we have added a completed version of the Closing Argument to help you fill in the manga-style story.

Closing Argument
Time to tell the whole story, manga panel style. Remember there will be some false events mixed in with the others to choose from.
Don't forget that manga is read right to left. Keep this in mind so you don't accidentally place an event in the wrong spot.
The manga panel starts with Celeste's account of seeing Chihiro packing a blue tracksuit in the warehouse. Chihiro then went to the boy's locker room by using their e-handbook. In the locker room, Chihiro met the killer, and the killer murdered them with a dumbbell.
That is how bloodstains got on the poster and carpet. The killer removed both the carpet and poster and put Chihiro's body in the girl's locker room. The killer used Sayaka or Junko's handbook to gain access to the girl's locker room. With the poster and carpet, they made the girl's locker room look like the scene of the crime.
Then, of course, Byakuya discovers the body and decides to make everything more complicated. He strung up Chihiro with an extension cord and used her blood to make a message. This was all to make it look like Genocide Jack was involved.
Lastly, the killer destroyed Chihiro's handbook with the heat of the sauna.
Final Bullet Time Battle
Surprisingly, the final Bullet Time Battle is not with Mondo; instead, Taka takes the defense. Match the rhythm until he says "Without any proof, you can't pin this on him." Counter that with the Broken e-Handbook.
With that done, congratulations! You have completed the second trial of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc.
