Oh trust me, this news has taken everyone by surprise. Her unexpected presence is bound to play some kind of crazy part in this story.

These two Danganronpa 3 series' are turning out to be more and more interesting, lol.

On one hand I welcome this seeing as she's my favourite character in the entire Danganronpa series.

On the other... OH BOY this is going to take some explaining.

I mean the easiest explanation is that spoiler[nobody ever said a girl named Chiaki Nanami doesn't actually exist].

Is it too much to hope that NISA dubs this instead of Funimation? I much prefer NISA's dubs for the DR games than Funimation's for the series.

on the bright side Bryce Papenbrook and Johnny Yong Bosh are probably going to be the two VAs that will come back as they voice Makoto and Hajime respectively (and Bryce was also Nagito but I hate that psychotic little fudge)

I'm confident that Chiaki said spoiler[she doesn't exist], but Monokuma has the power to spoiler[manipulate memories and could've used Chiaki's words to elicit greater despair. It really did upset the group.]

In the beginning of DR2, this wasn't because of Monokuma, it was because of spoiler[getting into the Neo World Program.Monokuma can only erase memories (in DR1) nothing more.]

What I mean is that spoiler[the "Nanami" in 2 most certainly is an AI and does not actually exist as a human, but since 3 is a prequel it doesn't preclude the existence of a girl bearing her name and title, and potentially getting killed.]

I might be reading into this too much, but the website profile mentions Nanami is having a favorite game she particularly likes; in 2 she didn't seem to ever voice a particular preference unless I'm remembering wrong.

If Funi gets their grubby hands on, that ain't happening. And then we'll never get more spoiler[A.I.!Madoka D:][/spoiler]

what if spoiler[she was actually a girl that had a tragic ending? I mean, she is an AI later on but do we specifically know that she wasn't based on a actual human being? (or did they rule it out? maybe I'm forgetting something here)]

Then again, Funimation was able to have Christine Cabanos reprise Nepgear for the Neptunia anime, so who knows.
