#it’s so ojimover goodbye takeshi I’ll miss you

[laniemae]

Every chapter I do a thing where I write down all of the students and my thoughts on who I thinks gonna die and stuff so here’s mine for chapter 3

Tetro Fridays just so soon and we’re up in the air for a murder at any time

Isono: rip

Harada: rip

Chiba: rip

Kamimura: Kamimura’s a hard one as I can see a lot of possibilities for him dying and not at the same time. This chapter he’s gotten a lot of development with Hasegawa and we’ve learnt more about his backstory, especially the confession game secret in woodshop. This floor has opened up the chemistry lab which kamimura instantly took a liking to and noticed how lots of the chemicals could be used for investigations. So it’d be tragic if kamimura dies as then everyone would be more in the dark on how to investigate stuff maybe. And kamimura has been heavily impacted by the cold motive and is suffering a lot. Although on the other hand he’s been hanging out with hasegawa a lot which could give him a higher survival chance if he’s with someone, idk. I just have a hunch one of the yaoi boys is dying this chapter and I honestly have no clue.

Hayashi: honestly I don’t think she’s gonna die. Would kinda feel weird imo right after the whole incident happened with her getting teleported to the lab and coming back severely injured. She’s definitely in a very weak state right now and would be hard to fight back if anyone tries to attack her. But she’s residing in the medbay with yanagi right now which could make odds better for her. But we don’t know when hayashi will get better and if that happens before a murder. And even what her testimony is on what happened to her in the lab, if she even remembers.

Wada: Wada’s an interesting one as he’s had a lot of plot significance this chapter which instantly puts him in the firing line for a death. At the beginning he helped Hama through his grief and throughout the chapter we’ve seen a lot of development on his relationship with Tsuno. We’ve also learned a lot more about his EDs and I feel like there could be enoigh info we already have on Wada to be a conclusion to his character but idk. There’s also the whole thing with Okazaki which after constantly bringing hurt by her and now physically he’s definitely beginning to spiral. And Hiroaki adding salt on the wound as well. Currently only Ojima and probably Yanagi know about what happened between him and Okazaki and I could imagine them taking care of him but I’m not sure. To be fair if Wada dies this chapter I think he’d more likely be a killer as I think it’d be interesting if he’s been victimised so much his character ends up twisting and he becomes the perpetrator for once.

Sasaki: rip

Ojima: oh no Ojima time. He’s a weird one as compared to previous chapters he hasn’t gotten as much to do but he has showed up still quite a few times, mainly in the background of scenes, and his two major scenes being kicking monomoko and figuring out what happened to wada. Usually I’d have a hunch that characters who get less to do in a chapter are more likely to live but I’m not sure on this case. Last chapter I suggested that Ojima had more of a chance of living then because we didn’t know about the heir thing, but now we do have more information on that so we could know enough to wrap up his character. Even if we’re still more in the dark about his daydreaming specifically. There’s also the fight with Hiroaki that occurred which people considered a major death flag for the two of them. Cuz normally in stories it’s a thing where two characters have a fight and one of them dies before they can reconcile but tetro definitely isn’t the series to pull a trope like that. And we already got something similar with Hama and Chiba (even if they reconciled before she died) although I wouldn’t say that’d make an Ojima death less likely only from that. And in the story, he’s probably gonna be separated from Hiroaki for a while now which could make him an easier target for murder. But he’s also hanging around Wada helping him after finding out how Okazaki hurt him but I’m not sure. Personally I could see the Hiroaki/Ojima fight leading to big developments for both of their characters but after what happened with Chiba saying a character has an arc to go through does not exuse them from death.

Okazaki: Okazaki has had a lot of important roles this chapter especially with her preying on Wada. Kinda the opposite of Ojima where she hasn’t had too much episodes but has had a lot of major scenes. It’s hard to predict where her character will go but I don’t think she’s dying this chapter. Although to be fair this is mainly going off of the “I don’t think they’d kill off the wild card character in the middle of the story” which tetro could definitely subvert. Tsuno has been hot on her trial after what she has done to Wada but I don’t feel something like that would lead to murder. Okazaki’s just really hard to predict.

Hama: we actually haven’t seen too much of him suprisingly after losing Chiba and Harada. And he hasn’t had too much screen time or major things to do so just from that I’m pretty confident he won’t die. Honestly I don’t have too much to say on him here.

Tsuno: Like chapter 1 lots of people have suspected Tsuno to die this chapter, which I can see, but am not too sure? Everyone’s pointing back to finality where we see her subtly break down talking about how she believes she’s gonna be the next to go but still doesn’t wanna die. And she’s had a lot of importance this chapter with how she finally reached her breaking point from constant stress over treating all the injured students and currently she’s on more of a break from medical duties specifically. But Okazaki has been heavily antagonising her by hurting wada, almost like she wants her to break. I feel if she’s gonna die as well she’d probably be more likely as a killer than a victim. But it feels weird with how people are thinking she’s gonna die to motivate Wada again but I definitely doubt tetro would kill off a character only to push forward the arc of another. So in my eyes it feels like either Tsuno or Wada are gonna die, but I’m not sure.

Hiroaki: a lot of points I bought up with Ojima also apply to Hiroaki here, specifically that around their fight. But in his case Hiroaki is more alone than Ojima at the moment and a fight like this would’ve deeply impacted him mentally as how he’s so attached to him. Especially in finality Hiroaki is definitely being implied to be going through suicidal ideation again now. But unlike last time where he had Ojima to comfort him he feels as if he’s alone and everyone hates him. Which I could imagine leading to Hiroaki trying something drastic or just giving up, whatever that may imply. We have gotten quite a few important scenes with him this chapter, helping Hama cope with his loss, learning about his neglectful parents, his friendship with Tsuno, and him coming out as gay. Don’t know if this is a weird point but I kinda feel like it’d be an… interesting decision… for him to die right after coming out as gay but honestly I can’t judge from that. Hiroaki is another character I think would be more likely to die but it’s very hard to tell. I can definitely see him having a big arc after the fight with Ojima but again we can’t judge based off arcs anymore.

Tamba: Tamba as well is a character who we haven’t gotten as much screen time or scenes this chapter so it gives me a feeling that she’s also less likely to die. The more development she’s got with hayashi is interesting though, but I don’t know what that says in particular.

Hasegawa: Hasegawa is a character who we’ve seen more thoroughly developed in this chapter and especially more scenes with his relationship with Kamimura. One thing that’s very interesting to take note of is how at this point he would’ve ran out of his Paxil which would lead to very severe withdrawal symptoms and his anxiety spiking up. From this alone I could think that he would survive this chapter so we’ll be able to see how he goes through with this in chapter 4 but idk, it’s tetro. I feel like either Hasegawa or Kamimura dying would be interesting in a way how they’ve been very close together in this chapter so maybe? Hasegawa’s an odd one as well because I can see lots of the reasons why he could die this chapter but the other side where I find it hard to see so.

Watari: Watari has definitely gotten some more development over this chapter but I don’t really see her dying too much. Especially at the beginning of the chapter shes almost playing a leader role like sasaki but is being way less adamant about it and her self proclaimed school headmaster role is more of a funny bit that we still see manage to bring the group together more. Her friendship with Okazaki is interesting and it’ll be especially interesting to think of when she finds out the full extent of what she has done. And in general I feel we still have a lot more to learn about Watari so I wouldn’t say this is at a point in the story where it would feel like a conclusion to her character.

Yanagi: ok this may be a hot take but I can definitely see Yanagi dying this chapter. To explain somewhat we’ve gotten quite a lot of central moments with yanagi here. Being the medical intern, the host of the restaurant and furthering his relationship with hayashi. He’s been in some hot water after all he did last chapter so it would be devastating to see him trying to made amends for what he did only to die and get cut short. And with being tsuno’s medical intern if he dies that’d leave a lot of the work back to her. We’ve learned a lot about Yanagi so I feel like it could make sense for a conclusion to his character here.
