6	[[folder:Journalist's Daughter Theories]]
7
8	[[WMG:In the event that the Journalist makes it back to Japan and is killed, his daughter will be apathetic to his death.]]
9	She will be afflicted with Antisocial Personality Disorder/Psychopathy. That, combined with his neglect of her, will ultimately lead to her being unaffected emotionally by her father's death. No tears will be shed.
10
11	[[WMG:The journalist's daughter is for sure at school.]]
12	In one of the final tapes, he says that he'll hide the tapes where he knows she'll find them. All the tapes are at school. Think about it.
13
14	[[WMG:The journalist's daughter (whoever she is) is Yandere-chan's second cousin.]]
15	We know from Basement Tape 1 that it's Aishi family tradition to capture the object of your obsession when the time is right. We also know from WordOfGod (forgot the exact source though, sorry) that Aishi women's husbands take the Aishi name. But what of the Aishi men? Perhaps some of them keep the name (to follow societal tradition) and some of them don't (to follow family tradition).
16
17	Perhaps Yandere-chan's grandmother has a brother who decided to follow family tradition name-wise. Given [=YandereDev=]'s preferences, any boys born into the Aishi family are unlikely to be yanderes themselves. However, they might be "carriers" of the traits, so to speak. So Yan-chan's great uncle grows up and marries a non-yandere woman. Then they have a daughter. Since she's the daughter of an Aishi man and a normal woman, she is not a full-blown yandere. However, since her father is a "carrier," she has a few yandere traits: [[ClingyJealousGirl clinginess]], attraction to anyone who is extremely dependent. This is the woman who married the journalist. The journalist likely would not want to marry anyone with the surname Aishi, because merely hearing that name probably would make him sick. That's why it's good that her father, an Aishi by birth, took his wife's name. So the journalist's wife is Ryoba Aishi's first cousin.
18
19	Now when you and your first cousin each have a child, your child and your first cousin's child are second cousins. Ryoba had Yandere-chan. The journalist's wife had... someone. Therefore, the journalist's daughter is Yandere-chan's second cousin.
20
21	[[WMG:The journalist's daughter is [[spoiler:the female version of Senpai]].]]
22	[[spoiler:He did say she was attending Akademi...]]
23	* Then who would she be in a universe when Senpai is male?
24	** Senpai's little sister? The journalist never explicitly said he didn't have a son too.
25	*** The Journalist made it ''very'' clear that he never remarried after his wife died giving birth to their daughter, which he explicitly says was their first (and only) child.
26	*** It could be possible that senpai when he is male, is a child had out of wedlock before he met his wife. Probably at a one night stand or something similar the women he slept with probably got full custody of him and he just had to pay child support. This would explain why Hanako suddenly moves to senpai's school and why she's so clingy about senpai as her father who raised her was neglectful.
27	[[WMG:Info-chan is the Journalist's daughter.]]
28	Okay, Info-chan is no longer the 2nd Yandere, but she's probably related to the journalist in the tapes. According to the tapes that can be found around the school, the father of one of the girls in the school was a journalist until he was publicly disgraced by a Yandere he was following. The tapes in the basement reveal that the Yandere was Ayano's mother Ryoba. Because of the disgrace, the Journalist couldn't hold a job and he became an alcoholic. He mentions his daughter is mysterious, spends a lot of time on the computer, and that she somehow gets a lot of money.
29
30	(from the wiki-page) "The Journalist's wife died while giving birth to an only daughter. At this point, it was practically impossible for the Journalist to take care of himself. He neglected his child, who raised herself into an independent teenage girl who could possibly attend Akademi High School."
31
32	Info-chan certainly fits the mysterious and computer-obsessed description. Her income is probably from the blackmail she obtains from the students and the {{panty shot}}s she sells to the boys at her school. The source of the blood is still up to speculation, since the idea that she's also a Yandere was scrapped.
33
34	[[WMG:Furthermore, Info-chan is [[RevengeByProxy seeking vengeance on Ryoba via proxy]] by using Ayano.]]
35	Just like the above and below [=WMGs=], Info-chan is the daughter of the Journalist, and knows that Yandere-chan is the daughter of Ryoba. Ultimately, the Journalist was forced to leave the country due to Ayano's mother, leaving the tapes for his daughter to find. When Info-chan came to Akademi, she discovered her father's tapes and learned the truth behind her father's fall from grace. Since Info-chan is an intelligent girl, she eventually figured out that Yandere-chan is the daughter of Ryoba (which is why Info-chan was stalking Ayano in the first place), and she came up with her plan to get revenge on Ryoba by harming Ayano.
36
37	Ryoba destroyed her father's life, and because of that, her father became too depressed to raise his own daughter, neglecting her terribly. And now, Ryoba is back, having chased Info's father out of the country to destroy him yet again.
38
39	But Info-chan is going to get back at her, by going after her daughter. [[FateWorseThanDeath Killing Yandere-Chan isn't good enough]]; no, Info-chan's going to break her. She'll push Yandere-chan into pursuing Senpai, killing and bullying her way through all of the potential rivals. And when Yandere-chan almost has him, Info will take it all away by exposing Yandere-chan as the monster that she is.
40
41	Exposing Yandere-chan as a violent sociopath will certainly hurt Ryoba -- if not emotionally, then at least it will hurt her reputation -- and possibly clear the journalist's name if Yandere's misdeeds eventually lead to Ryoba's misdeeds being exposed. A fitting retribution for the woman who destroyed her life by ruining Info-chan's father all those years ago.
42
43	[[WMG:While there isn't a Newspaper Club anymore, Info-chan ''still'' wants to be a reporter and ''still'' wants that big scoop. She's just going about it differently.]]
44	WordOfGod says she was originally intended to be the final rival, but this was scrapped. However, he's hinted that he's setting up her motivation as a PlotTwist. Some speculate she might be the Journalist's daughter. It's entirely possible that she still has set up her KnowledgeBroker tendencies as practice for being a reporter, and that's how she has knowledge of Yandere-chan's mother in the outdated intro. However, she also wants to be a reporter because her father was one prior to turning Ryoba in.
45
46	So one day, her father disappears. At the same time, Ryoba's daughter starts stalking someone in a similar way. Info-chan, being the crafty yet morally corrupt girl that she is, starts nudging her towards repeating history. Then, when she has killed enough people, she turns her in. Because she is good at finding out information about people, she has plenty of evidence beforehand that won't incriminate her personally. This will have tons of benefits for her: she'll be seen as a brave girl who found and took down a {{Yandere}}, she'll exact karmic justice on Ryoba and her family, she'll receive acclaim as a young journalist, she [[WellDoneSonGuy will get her father's approval]], ''and'' she'll get {{panty shot}} photos to sell. It will be a task towards the end of the game to stop her in some way. One way this might happen would be to ''also'' repeat history by discrediting her. Info-chan is already established to be a sleazy, corrupt girl who sells upskirt shots. Yandere-chan will have the ability to provide evidence that Info-chan has a history of criminal behavior. If done successfully, she will get arrested for sexual harassment, blackmail, and incitement to murder, as well being a suspect in the killings. In the end, she does become like her father, just not in the way she intended.
47
48	WordOfGod also says that what will happen if you don't help her by killing people or taking {{panty shot}}s will be a spoiler. It might be because it'll ruin her plan, and she'll attempt other means at getting Yandere-chan arrested.
49
50	[[WMG:The journalist is the father of one of the Gaming Club members.]]
51	Either [[GamerChick Midori Gurin or Pippi Osu]]. And one of them is involved in criminal activity, according to the blood on their clothes.
52
53	[[WMG:The Journalist's daughter is [[spoiler:the Rival Yandere]].]]
54	I put this forward for no reason other than it would be a very bitter case of {{Irony}}. I guess the ParentalNeglect would be a good reason why said daughter would be [[spoiler:''violently'' desperate for Senpai's love]].
55	* [=YandereDev=] says there is no more Rival Yandere, so this is likely jossed.
56	* If the theory that there will be another Yandere who's NOT a rival comes true, then maybe the Journalist's daughter will be that Yandere.
57
58	[[WMG:The Journalist's daughter is not Info-chan or anyone else commonly speculated to be her, but a member of the Photography Club.]]
59	Let's examine the details. [=YandereDev=] has said that the entire club has the dream of becoming investigative journalists. It's not too far out there that a teenage girl would want to be one because her father used to have that occupation. Where would the blood and money come from? It could still be innocuous; the extra money comes from her entering photography competitions in the area or doing amateur sleuth work for people. The blood shows that she already has a history of investigating crimes, and got covered in it because of something like attempting to pin a criminal to the ground (and getting hurt in the process). The idea to track down the killer might even be hers.
60
61	[[WMG:The Journalist's daughter is a major character who will not be revealed until the game is finished and released.]]
62
63	[[WMG:The Journalist's daughter is Megami Saikou.]]
64	For reasons that he has decided to not reveal yet, [[WordofGod Yandere-Dev]] has stated that Megami is aware that there is a dangerous person on the school grounds, that she is suspicious of Yandere-chan, and that she is forbidden from speaking to anyone about it or taking action against Yandere-chan. Additionally, she is absent the first nine weeks due to 'family business', much like how Ryoba is off in America with her husband in tow to handle some business of her own.
65	* Megami Saikou is the daughter of the CEO of the Saikou Corp. The journalist is disgraced. Also: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/yandere_simulator/comments/78qald/questions_about_the_saikous/ #3 "They probably know of him, but don't know him personally."]] Wouldn't make sense if he was their wayward son.
66	** Then maybe the Journalist is her uncle! But That's another WMG all together.
67	*** I take it uncle from the non-Saikou side of the family?
68
69	[[WMG: Info-chan (if she ''is'' the journalist's daughter) is seeking revenge on ''everyone'' she holds at fault for her father's fall from grace.]]
70	Why ''is'' she aiding Yandere-chan against the ten rivals? Because all ten of them have some connection to someone who Info-chan blames for the journalist's disgrace. Ryoba may be on the top of the list, for obvious reasons, but there's others she may find culpable too. The most obvious connection is Megami's: her grandfather founded the school that led to his downfall. The rest I hadn't worked out yet, but likely answers are possibly:
71	* A rival's father was a policeman involved in the case.
72	* A rival's father was Ryoba's defense attorney or the judge.
73	* In Mida and Muja's cases, they could have been former Akademi students themselves and testified against the journalist or for Ryoba.
74	* One of them's related to whoever ended up getting the blame for the murder.
75
76	The big question mark then is why Hanako would be on the list too, unless there's something about the Yamada family we don't know about yet.
77	* Finally got an idea: Senpai's dad was the Journalist's boss.
78
79	[[WMG: The Journalist's wife was Ryoba's sister]]
80	* In the sixth tape, the Journalist states that he met and married his wife a few years after Ryoba was declared innocent of Sumire Saitozaki's murder. He describes her as being possesive of him and never wanting to let him go. Achieving the S+ ending in 1980s mode shows you a timeline which reveals that Ryoba has a little sister who met and married her Senpai in 1994, five years after Ryoba's trial. The year would fit with the time the Journalist got married, and the way he describes his wife sounds very similar to how an Aishi acts when they find their Senpai.
81
82	[[WMG: If both the theory of Ryoba's sister being the Journalist's wife and the theory about Info-chan being the Journalist's daughter are true, that also means that Info-chan herself is also an Aishi]]
83	* Most of the evidence points at Info-Chan being the Journalist's daughter, and with the possibility of Ryoba's sister being the Journalist's wife, the idea of Info-chan being an Aishi is not far-fetched.
84	** Let's not forget, Info-chan was initially planned to be a second Yandere. And while [=YanDev=] dropped the idea, there's no reason he can't ''un''drop it.
85
86	[[/folder]]
87
88	[[folder:Kokona Theories]]
89
90	[[WMG:Kokona Haruka's status as the ButtMonkey in the debug builds will be referenced in the game in some way.]]
91	Let's face it, it would be a fun MythologyGag if there ''was'' a reference to it. Perhaps she refuses to go off alone if you've been killing people outright, which can make things trickier if she happens to be friends with one of the rivals.
92	* Alternatively, her status as ButtMonkey will be inverted. As much as life beats her down, she'll find ways to try and gain control over her life, and that may include self-defence. Trying to face her in a direct conflict will be slightly less difficult than taking on a teacher.
93	** Or any adult, really. Or the swim team captain or [[spoiler:the delinquents' leader]].
94
95	[[WMG:Kokona Haruka will become an AscendedExtra in the full game.]]
96	She's the one whom all [[ButtMonkey the current updates to the game have been focusing on]], mostly due to the fact that the game has no official rival programmed in yet and thus [=YandereDev=] had to pick ''someone''. All this focus on her could lead to her having a bigger role in the full game, possibly actually becoming one of the official rivals.
97	* Maybe she is going to become the final rival of the game?
98	** Signs are pointing to Drama Club President. That rival's image got leaked a while back and looks a ''lot'' like Kokona, plus the dev admitted it would be an easy choice.
99	*** The Dev has all but confirmed that Kokona and Kizana will ''not'' be the same character. Most likely, Kokona will be demoted to regular NPC. This is arguably for the best, as Kokona has over a year's worth of characterization that gives her a much different personality from any of the rivals, and fans like her the way she is. The big questions at this point are whether Kokona retains her character arc as a side quest or if it'll be split up and redistributed to proper rivals – it seems Osana is gaining the bulk of it.
100	** The final rival of the game will be the StudentCouncilPresident, who has already appeared (via live-stream on a laptop). [[labelnote:Fun Fact]]She was originally going to be the penultimate rival, with Info-chan as the final, but this changed when the Dev decided he didn't want Info-chan to be killable... and also the addition of Oka Ruto and the Delinquents' Boss resulted in too many rivals.[[/labelnote]]
101
102	[[WMG:The matchmaker update will be a huge [[ThrowTheDogABone moment of reprieve]] for Kokona.]]
103	Perhaps we will have to pair her up with another student, rather than [[TraumaCongaLine putting her through more trauma]]. [=YandereDev=] might lampshade her ChewToy status again, this time saying that as much as he likes to put her through hell, she deserves [[EarnYourHappyEnding some kind of happy ending]]... [[HopeSpot for now]]. Heck, it may even be funny if [[AudienceSurrogate Midori Gurin]] called him out on the amount of abuse he piles on Kokona, only for him to go "[[LesYay Okay]], if you like her so much..."
104	* Confirmed! Except for that Midori never appeared in that video.
105
106	[[WMG:The matchmaker update will alternatively be a huge [[YankTheDogsChain moment of horror]] for Kokona.]]
107	Sure, she'll be matched up, but since [=YandereDev=] can't keep himself from piling horrors on her, right after being matched up, Yandere-chan will whip out a knife and stab her. Or will be DrivenToSuicide when her new beloved receives the blackmail Yandere-chan has accumulated on her.
108	* But why would Yandere-chan kill her after Kokona gets paired up? There would be no point. If she would do that, why pair Kokona up in the first place?
109	** Because the dev simply cannot help himself when it comes to Kokona. She's his CosmicPlaything.
110	* Jossed. He decided to [[ThrowTheDogABone cut the poor girl a break]]. Also, Kokona cannot be stabbed after her confession, as the prompt is disabled.[[note]]However, her hitbox is still active, so she ''can'' be killed. Naturally, players quickly discovered which modes could take her out.[[/note]]
111
112	[[WMG:In the main game, Kokona will have a crush on Senpai, but she won't be a rival.]]
113	To allow players access to their favorite punching bag without having to rewrite a lot, Kokona will have her crush listed as Senpai, but she herself won't ever actually act on it. If she does that "Okay, I've made up my mind... I'll tell him how I feel this Friday! I hope he accepts my feelings..." line, she won't do it, and later on, she comments to herself "I keep saying that but I never do. Maybe because I know he could never like a girl as messed up as me." Yandere-Chan will still have the option of killing her, kidnapping her, ruining her life, etc. She has eyes on Senpai, so she must be removed, but objectively speaking, she will not actually be a threat to Yandere-Chan.
114
115	[[WMG:One of the rivals will be a relative of Kokona's.]]
116	Why think this? Because of a [[http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/yandere-simulator/images/c/c0/RivalSilhouette2.png/revision/latest?cb=20150801074045 certain picture I found.]] This picture was in a video posted by the dev himself. The picture resembles Kokona Haruka, though I believe that Kokona will only be a test rival. Plus, the picture doesn't look ''that'' much like Kokona, though her appearance could be updated in the future.
117	* That silhouette is of Kizana Sunobu, the Drama Club President. What relation, if any, she has to Kokona is unknown. See WMG below.
118
119	[[WMG:The Drama Club President will be Kokona's sister or cousin.]]
120	Based on the options Yandere Dev explained about Kokona [[https://www.reddit.com/r/yandere_simulator/comments/50nfnp/whats_happening_to_kokona/d7664iq here]], regardless of where the work put into Kokona ends up going, Kokona herself will return to being a normal student. It's unlikely that she will outright [[CompositeCharacter become the Drama Club President]], especially since Dev wants to make that character a self-centered Himedere. However, she still bears a striking resemblance to Kokona. That could easily be sorted out by having the Drama Club President be Kokona's sister (perhaps Joyu Haruka, if the PunnyName theme is to be kept intact [Joyu meaning actress in Japanese]), rather than just making them one and the same. After all, to this troper's knowledge, Yandere Dev never said Kokona ''didn't'' have a sister, now, did he?
121	* I think YD said that there aren't going to be that many direct blood relationships. However, I think a better option would be to make the DCP Kokona's cousin. That way, she could retain the familial relationship[=/=]StrongFamilyResemblance while at the same time not have to deal with all the baggage that Kokona's going through, since as her sister, she'd be in a crappy situation too.
122	* The Drama Club President is named Kizana Sunobu – a PunnyName to be sure, but not the same one as speculated.
123
124	[[WMG:Kokona will still be partially a rival or her problems will still exist in the final game.]]
125	It just feels like a waste for all of the work put into making Kokona a test rival to take it all out in the final game. Perhaps her problems could be something like a side-quest in game, where dealing with her is more of a case of VideoGameCrueltyPotential or VideoGameCaringPotential.
126	* Possibly confirmed. The October 2016 update video (and an accidental inclusion of a partially-made Osana) heavily implies Osana is inheriting at least some of Kokona's issues.
127
128	[[WMG:Kokona's problem will be in the final game... and it will help snag Senpai.]]
129	Think about it. If Yandere-chan's good deeds get around, Senpai is bound to think positively about her for doing such a (in his and the rest of the school's eyes) selfless act, and will accept her love confession more easily, or ''he'' might even confess to ''her!''
130
131	[[WMG:Kokona will be switched to the Drama Club in the final game and be Kizana's understudy.]]
132	If Kizana is incapacitated, they'd need someone to fill her spot in the play. Plus, it'd be a nice gag, cause in a sense, isn't Kokona the 'understudy' for the ''real'' rivals? (Yan-chan will be okay with HER playing opposite Senpai because in the final game her crush on Senpai will be gone.)
133	** It's confirmed that she is in the drama club.
134
135	[[WMG:Kokona will be Yandere-chan's only friend in the final version]]
136	It'd be an interesting inversion of her ButtMonkey status if she became the one person besides Senpai that Yandere-chan wouldn't want to hurt.
137	* That actually sounds like a decent idea. If it gets implemented into the game, it can lay out more possibilities that will make the game both harder and easier to beat.
138	** Possible reasons why the difficulty would be decreased
139	*** Yandere-chan could ask help from Kokona in doing tasks for other students ([=YandereDev=] has stated that this will be put in the final game). Of course, this can only apply to tasks Kokona can do so as not to make the game too easy.
140	*** Kokona could serve as an easier access to information. After all, you're more likely to give information freely to your friend and Kokona is quite a nice girl. However, Kokona's share of information won't be as detailed as Info-Chan's. Additionally, Kokona may not have little to no information to share for the rivals of the later half of the game.
141	*** On a slightly darker note, it would give Yandere-chan more opportunities to be able to dispose of murder evidence. [=YandereDev=] did say it's possible to trick a student into disposing a corpse.
142	** Possible reasons why the difficulty would be increased
143	*** Since Kokona is just as important as Senpai to Yandere-chan, it means your chances of getting a game over would be greater. I'm pretty sure Yandere-chan would be just as devastated with her friend seeing her kill someone as she would be if her crush saw her do that.
144	*** Eavesdropping and getting {{panty shot}}s may make Kokona suspicious over Yandere-chan. While the other students witnessing those actions may make your reputation drop, Kokona may think that your behavior is because someone is blackmailing you or you're also going through a rough time. As a result, she may have a slightly changed routine, one where she would stay closer to you out of concern.
145
146	[[WMG:If Kokona would become a DLC rival [[GroundhogDayLoop stuck in a timeloop]] then most elimination methods won't work on her anymore because of her past experience]]
147
148	* She won't be talking to Ayano like the Student Counsil Members.
149	* She will be able to stop a direct attack from Ayano like the teachers.
150	* She will avoid facing large bodies of water so that Ayano can't drown her.
151	* If someone pours water on her while she is using the toilet and the lights went out, she will be using her cellphone to see if the lightswitch is safe.
152	* She will not stand at the outside wall of the school to avoid getting crushed by dumbbells.
153	* She will always keep her lunch with her, so that Ayano can't poison it.
154	* She will check her desk and bag for things that could get her in trouble and tells her teacher about it.
155	* If her cell phone gets stolen and reappears later she will check it for {{panty shot}}s and other lewd pictures and deletes them.

159	[[folder:Rivals]]
160	[[AC:General]]
161	[[WMG:If all of the rivals are matchmade...]]
162	...when it's finally time for Ayano to confess to Senpai, all of them will try to help make their relationship happen. She helped each of them find true love, and they decide it's time to return the favor.
163
164	[[AC:Osana Najimi]]
165
166	[[WMG:If you eliminate Osana through matchmaking, her hair will be shorter the next week]]
167	She says in one conversation that she promised not to cut her hair until "some idiot" realized she loved him. Who says she can't cut her hair if she ends up in a relationship with somebody else?
168	** Confirmed. If Osana is peacefully eliminated by any method and the player goes for the Amai Challenge, Osana will have short hair.
169
170	[[WMG:Alternatively, Osana won't cut her hair]]
171	Because her suitor will love it the way it is.
172
173	[[WMG:Osana's matchmaking partner would be able to save her cat for her.]]
174	Even if you matchmake Osana to Kyuji Konagawa, that doesn't solve her primary issue, saving her cat from her stalker. While Kyuji's dislikes show he hates violence and drama, he likes cats and justice. Like how matchmaking Kokona would save her from debt, if Osana were to fall in love with Kyuji, he would find a way to help her save her cat from her stalker.
175
176	[[AC: Amai Odayaka]]
177
178	[[WMG: Amai's Suitor]]
179	... is Shoko Tsuburaya. His crush is listed as '????' and she trusts him enough to make him substitute club leader. It would also fit in with other implied suitors for the Club Leaders being in their clubs.
180
181	[[AC:Muja Kina]]
182
183	[[WMG:Muja is only a school nurse because of nepotism]]
184	A relative of hers got her the job, since there's no way she could've gotten it on her own merits.
185
186	[[WMG: Muja's Suitor]]
187
188	... is Otohiko Meichi. He looks somewhat like her, he spends a lot of time in the infirmary (where he could get to know her), and Muja is too nice to judge him for any girly habits he has.
189
190	[[AC: Mida Rana]]
191
192	[[WMG: Mida's Suitor]]
193
194	... is Toga Tabara. He's noted to mostly spend time wandering aimlessly and contemplating his future, while Mida, as a substitute teacher, could serve as a career counselor.
195
196	[[AC:Osoro Shidesu]]
197
198	[[WMG:Osoro's "Befriend" task will involve exposing the bullies]]
199	Odds are high that Osoro knows their true nature, given how they treated the other delinquents. Ayano's job will be to covertly get damning evidence against one of the bullies (likely either Musume, as their apparent leader, or Hoshiko, whom [=YandereDev=] considers the worst of the bunch), which would torpedo her [[VillainWithGoodPublicity good publicity]] and cast suspicion on the others.\
200	\
201	As the school's faculty will now have evidence of the bullies' true natures, they (or at least, whichever one you exposed) will be suspended, and the delinquents will turn from their current ways, their primary issue with Akademi's authority figures (namely, their failure to handle the bullies) resolved. Osoro will be grateful for your help in resolving the delinquents' problem, and will stop her pursuit of Senpai out of gratitude.\
202	\
203	Furthermore, Ayano might get a reputation boost if her role in dethroning the bullies becomes known. The trade-off, of course, is that the bullies will either be unusable or less effective against Hanako and Megami, as the other students will be less inclined to go along with their nonsense.
204
205	[[WMG: Osoro's Suitor]]
206
207	... is Umeji Kizuguchi, her second in command. She clearly trusts him, he likes her enough to give her sweet bread (in a drawing of the delinquents pre-delinquency), and his crush is listed as '????'.

212	Because it's not only NintendoHard to get away with murder from the beginning (Hanako's the 8th rival), but also because [[spoiler:in an AlternateTimeline, she's Nemesis]].
213
214	[[WMG:[[spoiler:It will be possible for Nemesis to appear in the main game.]]]]
215	Two things must happen for that to happen though: Hanako must still be alive by the endgame, and Senpai would have to be taken by force. This would lead to a bad ending for Yan-chan.
216
217	[[WMG:Hanako's Befriend option will have a few [[HoYay romantic undertones]]...]]
218	But only on Ayano's end. After all, her obsession and infatuation with all things Senpai might as well extend to their immediate family.
219
220	[[AC:Megami Saikou]]
221
222	[[WMG:Megami and Ayano are related]]
223	It's confirmed that Megami is aware that Ayano is a yandere and seems to know that it's a biological trait that runs in her family. But why does she know this? Perhaps her father or grandfather might have a run in with some of Ayanos relatives before. In the headmasters tapes you learn that Megami's Aunt believes that she has a sister and went in search of her, maybe this sister is Ayanos mother or perhaps someone related to her? The Saikou family seems high and prestigious, I don't doubt they would disown a child if it had alarming traits or it's mother had alarming behavior.
224	* Well, it's actually hinted that [[spoiler:Fun Girl]] is the missing daughter, but I did have a similar theory that Megami's mother was an Aishi as well, possibly Ryoba's sister or cousin.
225
226	[[WMG:The fact that the School Council are all-female are coincidental.]]
227	Megami is rumored to distrust men as she recruited an all-girls council, but in reality, she recruited the school council members for individual reasons; had the student she needed happened to be male, she would have recruited him in.
228
229	[[WMG:If Megami distrusts men, it's because of a series of failed relationships.]]
230	Perhaps Megami had failed relationships with several suitors turning out to be {{Gold Digger}}s. This might explain why she's only recruited female student council members.\
231	\
232	This may explain her interest in Senpai -- she empathizes with him as he's similarly unlucky in love (thanks to Yandere-chan). Perhaps the extra security isn't just to catch Yandere-chan; Megami genuinely likes Senpai and is determined not to let anyone ruin yet another potential relationship for her.\
233	\
234	(Bonus points if Megami's alternate suitor has a yandere streak of his own and has been scaring off his own rivals.)
235
236	[[WMG: No matter what, Megami is going to die.]]
237	Thinking about 1980's Mode, one thing I thought of is no matter what Ryoba may choose to do with her rivals, the final one ''has'' to die to become the Phantom Girl. I thought there might be a good chance history repeats, and Ayano's final rival would also end up dying. Even the 'non-lethal' methods would end up in death: if expelled or rejected by Senpai she'd kill herself, and I've theorized before that the 'matchmaking' method may not be consensual on her part, more akin to an abduction on Kaga Kusha's part, and if so, and if so 'ruined' by Kaga, may kill herself in that scenario too. I'm just saying, there wouldn't be so much emphasis on her brother if he isn't the one that inherits Saikou Corp.
238	* Well, my theory just got a big hole in it that the Phantom Girl was actually the ''first'' victim.
239
240	[[WMG: Megami is either bisexual or can be made to appear so.]]
241	[=YandereDev=] has confirmed that Megami can be matchmade with a male suitor, so her being a lesbian is right out. Doesn't necessarily mean that she has no attraction to other girls.\
242	\
243	In a serious note, her grandfather is confirmed to hold a very poor opinion of the [=LGBT=]+ community, although he keeps it to himself to [[SlaveToPR avoid harming his company's image]]. [=YandereDev=] clearly included that tidbit [[ChekhovsGun for a reason]]. Furthermore, it's mentioned that Megami would prefer to marry someone she truly loves as opposed to her father's ArrangedMarriage ([[ExactWords note that it's]] ''[[ExactWords someone]]'', [[ExactWords not necessarily]] ''[[ExactWords a man]]''). She's also implied to be TheNotLoveInterest to Senpai - while that made sense for Hanako (her being his little sister and all), it sticks out a lot more with Megami, who's presumably unrelated to Senpai. According to [=YandereDev=], Aoi Ryugoku is the only person whom Megami becomes less formal and speaks in a rather casual manner (implying that Megami has a hidden softer side that she won't show openly, even to her own family). Finally, Megami is rumored InUniverse to have some issues with men. Put all of those together, and it's likely that one elimination method will involve either outing her (if she actually is attracted to girls) or setting her up to be MistakenForGay (if she isn't). Doing so will probably require a few attempts - one seemingly-compromising piece of evidence she could explain away, but five would be a lot harder. Doing this could have varying knock-on effects on her life:
244	* Megami's father could disown her (given that GenerationXerox applies to Yan-chan's family, and possibly to the Journalist's if, as widely suspected, Info-chan is his daughter, it wouldn't be surprising if there was something among the Saikous as well). Given that Megami is implied to have spent her entire life going through TrainingFromHell, having her status suddenly yanked away would do some serious damage, leading her to either leave Akademi or be DrivenToSuicide, depending on how you play your cards. On the other side, it would give her an ample opportunity to break away from her conservative family and call them out for disowning her aunt for her socially liberal views.
245	* If the Bullies are still active at this point, getting the evidence to them could lead to them targeting Megami, with their VillainWithGoodPublicity status helping damage Megami's reputation while you keep your hands (relatively) clean. Again, how Megami responds to this will depend on how you play your cards.
246	* If you plant the evidence (real or fake) successfully enough times, Senpai will reject Megami's confession (assuming, of course, that she's actually interested in him romantically) under the belief that IncompatibleOrientation is in play, and he [[DramaticIrony wants her to be happy as her true self]], not [[TheBeard using him as a disguise]].\
247	\
248	Just saying, [=YandereDev=] wouldn't have set up as much info as he did about her family if it wouldn't come up at some point, and the most likely point, given what kind of game this is, is an elimination method.
249	* Technically, all rivals have Schrodinger's Bisexuality; their alternate suitors will always be men, but they'll still be attracted to Senpai if she's a woman. The idea about some of Megami's elimination methods being through ''outing'' this status in-universe is still valid, though.

253	[[folder:School Council]]
254	[[AC:General]]
255
256	[[WMG:The rumors surrounding each of the School Council members are hints in the game.]]
257	You can make use of them to manipulate the members to your advantage. For example, Kuroko is said to secretly resent the fact that Megami took her position as the student council president. You can influx Kuroko's jealousy and suggest her to eliminate Megami for her own gains. For another example, Akane's friendly persona is rumoured to be nothing but a façade, so you can catch her on her weakest moment and expose it publicly to make her seem that her true personality is much different, ruining her reputation.
258
259	* If this is the case, then you might be able to work it into a larger plan to dispose of Megami. She values the lives of the other members of the student council, so much so that if someone kills a member, no matter who it is, she'll suspect you, and instill security measures that would be draconian in any high school. However, at the same time, Megami wants nothing more than to actually BE at Akademi, and in addition, people seem to view her as a hardass who nonetheless has a degree of logic to her strictness. If you can make it seem like she's gone nuts; blaming you for something she has no concrete proof that you did, mindbreaking Akane into a murderslave, when pretty much the entire school saw Akane, rumored to be a bitch under the facade, murder another member of the council unprovoked, and making sure everyone suffers for it, you might be able to use that to get her to stay away from Senpai. Everyone already thinks she's a tyrant. It would be very easy to force her out of the school she so desperately wants to attend via mob mentality.

262	[[folder: The Headmaster]]
263	[[WMG:The secret so bad that Info-chan was able to blackmail over it]]
264	Place your guesses here:
265	* Killed someone
266	* Seduced a Saikou
267	* Pedophile
268	* Embezzlement
269	* Stalking
270	* Rape
271
272	Or, you know, he could've been ''framed'' for any of the above.
273	** I go with "helped cover up the myriad of crap that has gone down at Akademi High over the years."
274	** I was thinking looking at porno. Not even necessarily the illegal stuff. A headmaster's rep could be ruined if any perversion was revealed.
275	** One of the Headmaster tapes suggests he filmed someone without their consent, and given that he referred to it as 'taboo'...it was probably students.
276	** Another tape also hinted that he considered framing someone else for Ryoba's crimes just to try and get people to enroll at Akademi again, so if he went through with that idea it could be that.

280	[[WMG: Raibaru is a super-soldier experiment]]
281	Raibaru was augmented by Saikou Corp some time after her retirement from the Martial Arts Club as part of a military super-soldier experiment project on behalf of the Japanese Self-Defence Forces which may explain her invincibility in one-on-one combat and her extraordinary ability to perceive danger.

284	[[folder: Senpai]]
285	[[WMG: Senpai is an avatar of the Cherry Tree]]
286	That's why he's got so many suitors lining up week after week, and why he's so quick to enter into a courtship with so many people while so much horrible stuff is going on. He's the Chosen of the Cherry Tree, and it needs its myth fulfilled, and he's the poor sap that it decided on, regardless of his own personal taste. However, the tree needs its mythology played out by its Chosen, otherwise, it won't get what it needs (though if you pair off every other rival as well as Senpai, it will be extra powerful).
287	* So by that logic, Ayano's dad was the previous avatar, correct?
