You are solving the murder of either Kaito Momota, the Ultimate Astronaut or Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader. Here's how to do it.

Argument Armament

Closing Argument
Put the right panels in the right part so the comic and tell the story of what happened.
The comic begins last night when Keebo saw Himiko from the window of his lab. She carried a black case to the exisal hangar. Through the bathroom window, she handed the case to the culprit who was locked in the bathroom. In the case was a disassembled crossbow, and the culprit planned to reassemble it to use it to fight Kokichi.
Later, Maki went to the hangar to kill Kokichi. An electric barrier prevented her from going in. She got through anyway, using an electrohammer to disable an exisal and board it to bypass the barrier. Meanwhile, the culprit was confronting Kokichi and shot him in the arm with an arrow. They lept on Kokichi to stop him from summoning an exisal with his remote.
Their fight was interrupted by Maki in the exisal. She came in, exited the exisal, and shot Kokichi in the back with an arrow. The arrow was poisoned and would slowly kill Kokichi. She confronted him and decided to shoot a second time. However, the culprit blocked it with their arm to protect Kokichi and protect Maki from being blackened. Maki immediately ran off to find her poison antidote.
Kokichi closed the hangar behind Maki, already putting a new plan in motion. Unable to get inside, Maki tried to pass her antidote through the bathroom window to the culprit. However, Kokichi snatched it and drank it himself. However, he only pretended. Maki fell for the trick and desperately tried to enter that hangar, slashing the control panel. She could not enter and eventually left.
Kokichi used an electrobomb to disable the Monokuma security cameras and had the culprit drink the antidote. In return, the culprit became an accomplice for Kokichi's plan. As he died from the poison, the culprit dragged him to the hydraulic press. They filmed a video of the culprit under the press as it came down. Just when the culprit was out of view, Kokichi paused the video and stopped the press. They switched places, and Kokichi took off his shirt and was killed. The culprit's coat sleeve stuck out to make everyone think he was killed instead.
Lastly, the culprit tore the power cord to the press so it could never be opened again and flushed Kokichi's clothes. With this, Monokuma would not know who died or what was their true cause of death. The culprit then entered an exisal and waited for the trial to begin.
And that culprit is... Kaito Momota.
