CHIHIRO: Eh...? A teddy bear...? MONOKUMA: Hey, I’m not a toy! MONOKUMA: I’m Monobear! MONOKUMA: I’m your... I mean this school’s... headmaster, see!! MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Whatever it was that was happening right before my eyes was like nothing I’ve ever experienced in my life. MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: And at the center of it all was... that inexplicable thing. MONOKUMA: Nice to meet you all!! MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: A light voice speaking in an easygoing manner that’s so out of place for a school... MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: The discomfort that I was still submerged in quickly turned into bottomless fear. HIFUMI: Uwaaaaa! That toy just talked!!! KIYOTAKA: Calm down! It probably has a speaker installed somewhere...! MONOKUMA: Didn’t you hear me? I’m not a toy... MONOKUMA: I’m monobear! Furthermore, your headmaster! HIFUMI: Uwaaaa! It moved!!! MONDO: Just calm down already, will you? There’s someone moving it by remote control... MONOKUMA: Hey, don’t make it sound like I’m some kind of a controlled children toys. You’ll sink my feelings deeper than the Mariana Trench.. MONOKUMA: There’s a control system inside me that can make NASA green with envy... MONOKUMA: So I can’t bear letting you say such dream-destroying hurtful things!! CELES: “Bear”? Hasn’t that been done to death already? MONOKUMA: Well, we should be moving on. Let’s begin the proceedings, shall we? JUNKO: And now he’s breaking character... MONOKUMA: Please quiet down... Ehh-- well, well. SAKURA: It appears he gave up. MONOKUMA: Stand! Bow! Good morning, you bastards! KIYOTAKA: Good morning! TOUKO: You...don't have to reply... MONOKUMA: Well then. I’d like to begin an opening ceremony you'll remember for life! MONOKUMA: To start, I have a short statement regarding you bastards’ school life from this moment on... MONOKUMA: Eh-- You bastards are most certainly all geniuses filled with overflowing talent. You bring hope to the world! MONOKUMA: In order to preserve and guard that hope... MONOKUMA: You will live a communal lifestyle entirely inside this school’s walls from now on! MONOKUMA: I hope everyone respects each other and keeps order! MAKOTO: What...? MONOKUMA: Eh-- in addition... regarding the extent of this communal lifestyle... MONOKUMA: It’s going to be forever!! MONOKUMA: In other words, you are going to live here your entire lives! That is the school life we are assigning to you bastards! TOUKO: What did it just say? Live here forever? MONOKUMA: Ah, there’s nothing to worry about. We have plenty of budget. You bastards won’t lack anything, I promise! SAYAKA: T...that’s not why we’re worried...! JUNKO: We just don’t get what you mean by living here forever... JUNKO: It’s just a joke, right? MONOKUMA: I am most certainly not a liar! I have great pride in that! MONOKUMA: Ah, I should also let you know: you will be completely shut out from the outside world! MONOKUMA: So you shouldn’t be worried anymore about what’s going on in this rotten world we all live in! MAKOTO: Shut out...? MAKOTO: So the steel plates in the classrooms and corridors... MAKOTO: They’re there to... keep us in? MONOKUMA: That’s right. MONOKUMA: It doesn’t matter how much you shout. No help is coming. MONOKUMA: Therefore, you should just make the most out of your life inside the school! LEON: Er, what is this? LEON: What you’re saying, it’s nothing but a huge joke, right? MONDO: Y...you fucker... don’t overdo it... if the joke doesn’t stop right now, I will... MONOKUMA: You keep calling it a joke or a lie. It seems you’re still very much doubting me. MONOKUMA: But I guess it’s just natural. We’re living in an age where you can’t survive if you trust your neighbours, after all. MONOKUMA: In any case, I will let you confirm for yourselves whether my words are true or not. MONOKUMA: When you do that, you’ll soon understand that my words are always one hundred percent factual! CELES: It’s a little... troubling for us. Spending the rest of our lives in this scool... MONOKUMA: Oh? You’re a weird bunch, aren’t you. MONOKUMA: After all, didn’t you all come to this school out on your own volition? MONOKUMA: Don’t go on saying you want to go back in the middle of the opening ceremony... MONOKUMA: That said... MONOKUMA: To be frank, it’s not impossible. There is a way to get out of here... TOUKO: T...there is? MONOKUMA: As this school’s headmaster, I’ve made a special rule for people who want to leave the school! MONOKUMA: It’s a rule called “graduation”! MONOKUMA: I’m sure you all want to hear all about it, so let me explain in detail. MONOKUMA: As students of this academy, you’re obliged to live your communal lifestyle in an orderly fashion... MONOKUMA: But in case someone breaks the order, that person alone can leave the school grounds. MONOKUMA: That is the rule called “graduation”! BYAKUYA: What exactly do you mean by “breaking order”? MONOKUMA: Upupu... that is... MONOKUMA: The act of killing another person. MAKOTO: K...kill!? MONOKUMA: Beatingstabbingclubbingbeheadingburningsuffocatingstranglingslaughteringvoodoocursing... The method doesn’t matter. MONOKUMA: “Only a student who kills someone can leave”. It’s a very simple rule. MONOKUMA: The most evil of actions leads to the best of outcomes. I hope you all cooperate. MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: Intolerable fear... MAKOTO'S THOUGHTS: The moment I heard the words “Only a student who kills someone can leave” a violent chill ran from my feet through my back all the way to the top of my head. MONOKUMA: Upupu... This heart-thumping feeling of distress... It’s just as if salmon suddenlt started assaulting people... MONOKUMA: Like I said before, you bastards are often called “the world’s hope”. MONOKUMA: Making such “hope”-filled kids kill each other -- such a “despair”-filled situation -- MONOKUMA: My heart is all a-thump with excitement! LEON: W...what did it say!? Kill each other? What the fuck...? MONOKUMA: Killing each other is killing each other. If you need a dictionary I have one right here. AOI: We understand the meaning of the words! What we want to know is why killing is necessary...!? HIFUMI: That’s right! Stop with the pranks! Let us go home--! MONOKUMA: Pranks? MONOKUMA: You keep using that word, prank. How many times do I have to repeat myself? MONOKUMA: You are really a bunch of thick-headed people. MONOKUMA: What’s with all the “let me leave”? I keep and keep and keep telling you... MONOKUMA: Don’t you get it? From now on this school is your home and your entire world. MONOKUMA: It’s an all-you-can-kill, kill-or-be-killed, killing-killing-killing-all-around world!
