Well, who are we sure was there at the scene of the crime at the time of the crime?Angra Shadow wrote: ↑February 7th, 2021, 7:48 amI still think it makes no sense for Kuroda to just be a random person when it's been highlighted so much that he was in a coma and has memory issues.
Kōji, Amanda, Asaka, Rum/Kanenori, Rumi and Hyōe.
To me, there are three broad possibilities, here:
1) Asaka is Rumi, and Hyōe intruded upon the crime scene.
2) Hyōe is Asaka, and Rumi intruded upon the crime scene.
3) Someone else is Asaka, and both Hyōe and Rumi intruded upon the crime scene.
To get a better read on which possibility will pan out, we need more information about the incident 10 years ago that put Hyōe Kuroda in a coma, because that's something that Goshō has constantly avoided giving us info about.
At the time Hyōe was introduced and the coma brought up, Goshō wanted us to think Rum had replaced the real Hyōe Kuroda. Now that it's clear that post-coma Hyōe not Rum, some will let their guards down and assume that no twists await us with Hyōe. I think Goshō aimed to have us assume that the "someone switched places with Hyōe during the coma" theory was the red herring, when actually the "Rum swapped with Hyōe during the coma" theory was the red herring and the "someone switched placed with Hyōe during the coma" theory was correct.
So if Rum didn't switch places with the real Hyōe, who did? If it's not Tsutomu... then it could only be Asaka—that's the way out of the "whoever switched places with the real Hyōe is just some random person" problem, which we would run into if Asaka is neither Rumi nor Hyōe (and we'd also run into it if Asaka is Rumi).
And no, I don't buy the "Kōji is still alive and is now posing as someone else (in this case, post-coma Hyōe)" theory
