previously...

 * 8:30 AM
 * (cafeteria, second floor)


 * BJ: So, um, Cuphead?
 * CH: Yes, BJ?
 * BJ: Are you still feeling guilty in causing... Luke's death ?
 * CH: What? No! That was Sierra!
 * BJ: But you still kinda caused it.
 * CH: Well, in that case-
 * TC: What are you blabbering about?
 * BJ: ...
 * CH: Luke's death.
 * TC: You know, I may not forgive you for indirectly causing it, but...
 * CH: WHAT!?
 * S4: Yeah, have you not read the second chapt-
 * TC: How did you get into our conversation?
 * S4: Uh... (walks away from their table)
 * TC: So, when are you planning revenge?
 * BJ: I have decided not to.

that meeting again

 * 10:00 AM
 * (main hall, ground floor)


 * JI: On the fourth day of killing, the motive here will be...
 * JI: ...a gift given to the character with the most insecurity!
 * JI: Congratulations for surviving three days of your very special vacation!
 * PQ: It's a shame for those six dead characters.
 * PQ: Those death portraits really helped a lot.
 * BJ: (on the stage) You'd better resurrect one of our dead friends right now- (falls off stage)
 * " BJ's Bellyflop " has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your Inventory.
 * S4: What was that?
 * JI: I would like to introduce you to...
 * JI: THE FOURTH FLOOR !
 * CH: What's so special about the fourth floor?
 * JI: You'll see...


 * 10:30 AM
 * (corridor, fourth floor)


 * S4: The moment we climbed from the third floor stairs, this is what we saw.
 * BJ: Woah...
 * S4: Is this...
 * PE: The fourth floor?
 * CK: The floor is carpeted.
 * EB: The ceiling is full of shining jewels!
 * S4: It's got double glazed windows!
 * BJ: And.. is that what I think that is?
 * PE: ...I think that's a pool.
 * PE: Not the table kind, but the water-filled kind.
 * BJ: (tries opening the door to the pool area) It's locked!
 * S4: What?
 * BJ: I don't think brute force will work.
 * CK: Okay, I'll grab some lockpicking supplies!
 * EB: There aren't any...
 * CK: Oh, right.
 * S4: The moment we were thinking of how we can open the door...
 * S4: ...BJ left the fourth floor.
 * " BJ's Absence " has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your Inventory.
 * S4: That message again! What is it telling me?

body discovery

 * S4: After thinking of ways to open the door for half an hour, Phil decided that it would be easier if we just turned the handle.
 * S4: After doing just that, we saw a blue figure at the edge...


 * 11:00 AM
 * (pool area, fourth floor)


 * (Blitzy Jr. jumps off the roof)
 * PE: What the...
 * EB: Did he just committed... suicide !?
 * " BJ's Exit " has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your Inventory.
 * S4: You know what? Maybe that's the new feature of this chapter.
 * CK: Wait, if he committed suicide, wouldn't we be able to see his body from the edge of this pool area?
 * S4: I suppose that would be a possibility.
 * (Squarangl'r, Phil, Boogaloo, and Chuck all ran walked fast towards the edge where BJ supposedly fell)
 * S4: (sees a blanket outside, but no BJ) I can't see him.
 * PE: We should go down to see if he's still there.


 * 11:05 AM
 * (building entrance, ground floor)


 * CK: I found him!
 * S4: Hey, BJ. Why are you holding your backpack all of a su-
 * BJ: Uh, it's a secret? (enters building swiftly)
 * " BJ's Backpack " has been added to the Truth Bullets section of your Inventory.
 * S4: I wonder, what does that kitten have in store?
 * PE: Let's worry about that later. For now, let's dive.


 * 11:10 AM
 * (pool area, fourth floor)


 * S4: I then took a dive into the pool and this is what I found.
 * (Despair Pollution Noise Music)
 * (Cuphead had obviously drowned)
 * S4: ...crap.
 * S4: Guys, no time for playing around. I found a dead body.
 * CK: Was that... Cuphead ?
 * EB: We lost him. Now we have another empty dorm room.
 * JI: That also means a body has been discovered! Time for the investigation!
 * S4: And so the investigation has started, but since that doesn't ma-

the trial

 * 1:00 PM

 * JI: Let's begin with the case summary.
 * JI: Today's victim was Cuphead, Ultimate Run ‘n’ Gunner.
 * S4: And I thought Sierra's death portrait was ridiculous...
 * BJ: ...
 * JI: The crime scene is the pool area on the fourth floor.
 * JI: Now, let us all find out who the killer is!

Nonstop Debate: Memory


 * Now then... I shall explain to you another feature in the Nonstop Debates.
 * From this point forward, you will now be able to use the Truth Flashback.
 * You've heard of Argue Spots and Agree Spots, so allow me to introduce you to Memory Spots.
 * If you shoot green text with the scanner, you will be able to memorize the green text.
 * This memorized phrase can only be fired once as a single Memory Bullet.
 * If you shoot or change to a Truth Bullet, it will disappear from your Truth Cylinder.
 * However, you can shoot Memory Spots as many times as you want.
 * If you don't seem to have the right answer to a lie or mistake in your available Truth Bullets...
 * ...it might be wise to memorize a Memory Spot and use that to make your case.
 * When's the best time to flashback? Well, you'll just have to trust your keen wits, won't you?
 * By the way, you will not be able to agree with anyone with a Memory Bullet.
 * Please remember that it is only effective when refuting points.
 * Memory Bullets are green like Memory Spots, to differentiate from the Truth Bullets' blue.
 * There are also red and purple bullets, but they'll be introduced later.
 * Oh, and, uh, Memory Spots don't have X-Points.
 * Well then... good luck and have fun!

1: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * BJ's Bellyflop
 * PQ: This case is simple.
 * PQ: It's obviously a suicide !
 * CK: What? No! It can't be!
 * PQ: Think of Cuphead's cause of death.
 * TC: I think that Cuphead shot himself !
 * PE: What? No!
 * TC: He obviously used his finger gun!
 * S4: All I have to do is to remember...
 * S4: ...and shoot that person's contradiction.

answer

 * shot himself
 * Truth Bullet: cause of death
 * S4: I will shoot through that contradiction!

break!

 * S4: Cuphead's cause of death was drowning.
 * S4: Aren't you even aware of that?
 * TC: Well, can you prove that?
 * S4: Well, the crime scene is the pool, and he has a special ability...


 * Peashooter
 * Dash
 * Super Drowning Skills
 * Super Drowning Skills
 * S4: THERE!


 * S4: Cuphead has Super Drowning Skills.
 * PQ: To be honest, that's actually more like a weakness than an ability.

2: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * Deflated Duck Floatie
 * Deflated Unicorn Floatie
 * BJ's Absence
 * TC: So, Cuphead drowned, right?
 * PQ: Yes, that is confirmed.
 * RB: Wait, aren't there flotation devices in that pool area?
 * RB: He could've easily survived!
 * BJ: ...
 * EB: So, was Cuphead in one of those floaties?
 * RB: Yes, that's my theory:
 * RB: Cuphead shot his floatie ...
 * RB: ...and then drowned himself!
 * S4: I know that's wrong, and this piece of evidence proves this!

answer

 * shot his floatie
 * Truth Bullet: Deflated Duck Floatie
 * S4: NO, THAT'S WRONG!

break!

 * S4: If Cuphead shot the floatie he was standing on...
 * S4: ...that wouldn't add up with the evidence.
 * RB: What piece of evidence?
 * S4: If you look at this duck floatie we found in the middle of the pool...
 * S4: You'll see that there are scratch marks.
 * CK: I see, so it's BJ who did it!
 * BJ: ...
 * S4: That is how Cuphead drowned-
 * RB: THAT'S NOT RIGHT!
 * RB: Wait, that's only true if Cuphead was on the duck floatie.
 * RB: But there's a possibility that he was not!

3: rebuttal showdown

 * Truth Blades:
 * Deflated Unicorn Floatie
 * Special Lock
 * BJ's Absence
 * RB: Indeed, if Cuphead was on the duck ...
 * RB: ...then, he would've drowned.
 * RB: But there has to be another floatie in the pool area!
 * RB: What kind of pool has only one pool toy?

advance!

 * S4: You have never gone to the pool area.
 * S4: How are you even sure about that?
 * RB: 'Cause I saw the map!
 * RB: There's another floatie he could've stood on.
 * RB: Sure, I've never been at the crime scene...
 * RB: But you can't deny that's not a possibility, hmm?
 * S4: He's just making things up because he didn't investigate.
 * S4: And this piece of evidence will make his theory fall apart...

answer

 * There's another floatie
 * Truth Blade: Deflated Unicorn Floatie
 * S4: I'LL CUT YOUR WORDS!

break!

 * S4: The only pool toys we found in the pool were the duck and the unicorn.
 * S4: The unicorn floatie was found near the edge of the pool.
 * RB: So, if Cuphead was on the unicorn...


 * he could've escaped the pool
 * he could've gotten another floatie
 * he could've gotten a weapon
 * he could've escaped the pool
 * S4: THAT'S IT!


 * S4: ...he wouldn't drown.
 * RB: That's what I was thinking!
 * PQ: It seems that Squarangl'r found a way to read your mind...
 * RB: What?
 * RB: He's no Athena Cykes!
 * PE: So, about the murder weapon.
 * PE: Was it the water in the pool?
 * S4: Yes, I think that's it.
 * S4: Cuphead couldn't stay on the deflated duck much longer, so...
 * S4: ...he attempted to dash, but couldn't, because...


 * the culprit shot him
 * he was disabled
 * he was in the middle of the pool
 * he was in the middle of the pool
 * S4: I GOT IT!


 * S4: ...we found the duck floatie in the middle of the pool.
 * S4: The pool is circular, with a 25-meter radius.
 * S4: I really doubt that Cuphead was able to dash his way out of the water.
 * AN: If only he could fly at a longer distance, then he would've survived.
 * TC: Yes, but what about the trident?
 * S4: There's something about the trident we found in the pool.
 * S4: If that's the murder weapon, then...

4: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * Map of the Pool
 * BJ's Exit
 * Weird Contraption
 * TC: We need to know if the trident was the murder weapon!
 * PQ: Cuphead drowned, remember?
 * TC: No, I'm saying that the trident...
 * TC: ...was exactly what popped Cuphead's floatie !
 * EB: The scratch marks pointed to BJ...
 * EB: ...I don't want to believe it, but...
 * EB: ...he could be the culprit! !
 * BJ: ...
 * S4: There's a contradiction in there, somewhere...

answer

 * what popped Cuphead's floatie
 * Truth Bullet: scratch marks
 * S4: YOU'VE GOT THAT WRONG!

break!

 * S4: I don't think the trident deflated the duck.
 * S4: Look at how the spikes on the trident are arranged.
 * S4: The middle spike is placed higher than the other two...
 * S4: ...and the marks on the floatie are in trios of parallel lines.
 * TC: It could be made so that the marks look like parallel lines.
 * PQ: No, I don't think that's possible.
 * PE: It's kinda like the first case, don't you think?
 * EB: When you think about it, it does make sense.
 * AN: So the killer had to be...
 * PE: But now, we should talk about our alibis.
 * PE: The only one here without an alibi has to be the killer.
 * S4: The one without an alibi?

5: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * BJ's Bellyflop
 * BJ's Absence
 * BJ's Exit
 * BJ's Backpack
 * PE: Does anyone here not have an alibi?
 * EB: Well, Announcer, of course!
 * AN: No, I was in my dorm room.
 * TC: So were Robin and me!
 * CK: Huh? Really?
 * RB: Yeah, I can back that up!
 * PQ: I was talking to Jack.
 * S4: And Phil, Boogaloo, Chuck, and I were lockpicking ...
 * BJ: ...
 * PE: The only character here without an alibi is BJ !
 * S4: I don't want to believe it, but...
 * S4: ...there's evidence that supports this claim.

answer

 * BJ
 * Truth Bullet: BJ's Absence
 * S4: I AGREE!

break!

 * S4: While we were lockpicking, BJ ran off.
 * BJ: ...
 * S4: If Announcer, Tony, Robin, and Quatro's claims were true...
 * PQ: ...which they are...
 * S4: ...BJ had no alibi.
 * BJ: ...
 * PE: Okay, so the evidence points to BJ being the killer.
 * PQ: But he has been acting strangely, hasn't he?
 * PQ: You know the trope "O.O.C. is Serious Business"?
 * S4: Yeah, I think I've heard of that trope before.
 * PQ: So whoever's out of character could be a suspect.


 * S4: Who's out of character?
 * Blitzy Jr.
 * S4: IT'S YOU!


 * S4: BJ, you have been acting quite strangely.
 * BJ: ...
 * S4: Normally, you weren't that quiet.
 * BJ: ...
 * TC: Come on, look up!
 * BJ: Uh...
 * TC: You got butterflies inside of ya?
 * BJ: Mm...
 * BJ: ...
 * S4: Huh?
 * PQ: Tony, you finally broke him.
 * BJ: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
 * TC: Oh my Becky, that was loud!
 * PE: What have you done!?
 * PQ: Jack, we have a problem.
 * TC: How can we stop that!?
 * PE: How can we stop that!?
 * PQ: How can we stop that!?

6: mass panic debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * BJ's Backpack
 * Cuphead's Cause of Death
 * Special Lock
 * Deflated Unicorn Floatie


 * TC: I can't hear what anyone else is saying!
 * PE: What are we doing this?
 * PQ: Crap.


 * TC: JUST STOP CRYING!
 * CK: Does that mean he's the culprit ?
 * PQ: He's breaking down.


 * BJ: All my friends are dead !
 * EB: Well, he doesn't have an alibi !
 * AN: No no no no no no no no no no.


 * BJ: I can't take this anymore!
 * EB: He's obviously the culprit!
 * PE: Guys, take it easy...


 * RB: This isn't working!
 * PQ: You can't prove that he did it !
 * PE: You don't have to shout at each other!


 * BJ: I killed Cuphead!
 * PQ: He was never in the pool to begin with!
 * PE: Why is no one listening to me!?


 * BJ: Just execute me already!
 * EB: Of course! The pool area was always locked !
 * TC: No one cares, that's why!


 * S4: There has to be a mistake in here...

answer

 * always locked
 * Truth Bullet: Special Lock
 * S4: I HEARD IT!

break!

 * S4: Everyone ignore BJ's wailing for now.
 * S4: Boogaloo, the pool area wasn't always locked.
 * EB: But... it was locked when we first came to the fourth floor!
 * S4: The only lock on the pool area door...
 * S4: ...was this special lock on the back.
 * PE: I've never seen that lock before.
 * PE: Jack, explain.
 * JI: Okay, I'll tell you everything you need to know about that lock!
 * JI: That extraordinary, one-of-a-kind lock can be installed on any door or window.
 * JI: The only person capable of locking and unlocking it is the one who installed it in the first place.
 * JI: Also, the lock automatically turns off when the authorized person dies.
 * JI: But we all know who had the lock, right?
 * S4: It was...
 * JI: On the fourth day of killing, the motive here will be...
 * JI: ...a gift given to the character with the most insecurity!
 * S4: ... "the character with the most insecurity " ?
 * PQ: The most insecurity, eh?
 * PQ: I think I already know who that person is!
 * S4: And that is?
 * PQ: Tell them, Squarangl'r.


 * S4: Who could possibly have the lock?
 * (select two characters)
 * Announcer, Cuphead
 * S4: HERE'S MY ANSWER!


 * S4: The character with the most insecurity has to be one who doesn't share their dorm room with someone else anymore.
 * CK: After all, you're more afraid when you're sleeping alone than if you sleep with someone else.
 * PE: The six characters who died before this day were Proto, Chris , Luke , Sierra , Fluttershy , and Baba.
 * BJ: Just rub it in, why would you...
 * PQ: We can ignore four of them: Baba and Chris, and Fluttershy and Luke , since they're both pairs of room-sharers in which both members have already died.
 * PQ: So they must be Announcer or Cuphead, because their partners, Proto and Sierra respectively, were deceased.
 * AN: I don't remember receiving any kind of gift.
 * S4: So that means the lock was Cuphead's.
 * S4: And when the culprit killed Cuphead, the only person authorized to lock and unlock the pool area door, the special lock automatically turned off, but we didn't know it at the time.
 * S4: This gave the culprit enough time to escape.
 * RB: Yes, that explains their exit...
 * RB: ...but what about their entry? How do you think the culprit went to the pool area?
 * TC: It's on the fourth floor, as I remembered.
 * JI: And the highest floor you can currently visit today!
 * S4: How did the culprit gain access to the pool area without Cuphead opening the door first?
 * S4: We need to solve this first.

7: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * Flip-Flops
 * Map of the Pool
 * Weird Contraption
 * BJ: I killed Cuphead!
 * PE: We can't confirm that yet.
 * PE: All we need to know is how the culprit got to the pool area.
 * TC: Maybe they used a ladder !
 * PE: Nope, that would be too obvious.
 * PE: And what kind of ladder is four stories long !?
 * RB: Maybe they scaled the side of the building !
 * PQ: Then there would be marks on the side of the building.
 * CK: Did the culprit fly ?
 * PE: ARE YOU FREAKIN' INSANE!?
 * EB: Perhaps they went to the fifth floor.
 * JI: Nope, fifth floor's closed.
 * AN: They could've used a portal ...
 * AN: ...or they teleported !
 * BJ: Were you really thinking that I teleported?
 * PE: With the help of dark magic, he can.
 * PQ: Then I would be an accomplice.
 * PQ: I prefer my murders done alone.
 * S4: One of these has to be how the culprit really got to the pool area.

answer

 * fly
 * Truth Bullet: Weird Contraption
 * S4: I AGREE WITH THAT!

break!

 * S4: Chuck wasn't that far off. The culprit flew.
 * CK: Wait, so I was right?
 * PE: SERIOUSLY!?
 * S4: If they used this weird contraption ...
 * S4: ...they could indeed float to the pool area.
 * AN: What kind of thing is that?
 * S4: I think that's a balloon.
 * S4: And these two ropes control opening and closing the envelope.
 * S4: And with this, the culprit could-
 * EB: WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!?
 * EB: No, I don't think the culprit could've used that balloon-contraption thing.
 * EB: And I'll tell you why!

8: rebuttal showdown

 * Truth Blades:
 * Weird Contraption
 * Map of the Pool
 * EB: If they used that contraption...
 * EB: ...they'd have to attach themself onto the balloon, right?
 * EB: So if they did that with a rope...
 * EB: ...they would've hung themself ...
 * EB: ...and died immediately!

advance!

 * S4: Are you sure that...
 * S4: ...that this contraption would hang the user?
 * EB: Of course, that's what I was saying!
 * EB: Then again, they could've hung one of their limbs instead of their head...
 * EB: But if they hung their arm, they could only control one rope.
 * EB: And if they hung their leg, everything they see would be upside-down !
 * EB: What, did you think they hung their tail !?
 * S4: I don't think this contraption required hanging the user.

answer

 * hung themself
 * Truth Blade: Weird Contraption
 * S4: I'LL CUT YOUR WORDS!

break!

 * S4: I don't think this contraption would make the user die while using it.
 * S4: There seems to be a frame that you could put your body in.
 * EB: Wait, your body!?
 * S4: And I think this is a buckle to make sure that you're attached to it.
 * EB: Oh, fine. I get it.
 * RB: But that person would have a human-like body structure, right?
 * RB: Also, I don't remember using that kind of thing.
 * PQ: So considering everyone's alibis and the requirements for using this contraption...
 * PQ: ...it's pretty obvious who is the culprit.
 * S4: I see...
 * S4: They can't be Tony, Announcer, Chuck, Quatro, or me because we don't have a human-like body structure.
 * S4: And they can't be Robin, Phil, or Boogaloo, since they had alibis.
 * S4: That leaves only one character.


 * S4: Who could've used the contraption?
 * Blitzy Jr.
 * S4: IT'S YOU!


 * S4: I think BJ over there used this contraption.
 * BJ: Because I killed Cuphead !
 * TC: Well then, I guess we can start the voting since he just confessed-
 * JI: Not exactly!
 * JI: Sorry, guys, but we can't just end the trial here!
 * TC: AW COME ON!
 * JI: We haven't done the Scrum Debate !
 * S4: Yes, everyone's favorite...

9: scrum debate
Vote for Blitzy Jr. ?


 * Vote for BJ!


 * AN, BB, BJ, PE, PR , RB, SS , TC
 * Not yet!

 * Words:
 * argument [S4]
 * confess [PQ]
 * culprit [EB]
 * Cuphead [CK]
 * killed [CK]
 * logic [S4]
 * suicide [PQ]
 * truth [EB]

start!

 * BJ: It was me! I killed Cuphead!
 * CK: We don't even know how Cuphead was even killed!
 * RB: Well, here's my argument: why do we need to know how the victim was murdered?
 * S4: 'Cause if we didn't, the Closing Argument would be confusing!
 * AN: We already know who the culprit is.
 * EB: We don't know if BJ really is the culprit !
 * TC: But... he literally just confessed!
 * PQ: A confession is not enough. We don't want to end this trial with a false verdict.
 * TC: I don't care! He's telling the truth!
 * EB: But we don't know the whole truth.
 * PE: Let me say it one more time: BJ. Killed. Cuphead.
 * CK: But what if he killed himself?
 * BJ: What? But that would mean he committed suicide!
 * PQ: Exactly. There is a possibility that it was a suicide.
 * PE: A suicide? What kind of stupid logic was that?
 * S4: It's not stupid, and logic will guide us to the truth!

crouch bind

 * CK, PQ, EB, S4: THIS IS OUR ANSWER!

break!

 * S4: We can't vote for him until we've figured out the entire case!
 * BJ: The... entire case?
 * PQ: For example, what was the trident really for?
 * PQ: And why were flip-flops found near the edge of the pool?
 * BJ: Oh, wait...
 * AN: What is it, murderer?
 * BJ: Those flip-flops...
 * BJ: ...they were mine.
 * S4: Obviously.
 * BJ: They were given to me yesterday. They grip your feet real good.
 * S4: HOLD IT!
 * BJ: What is it?
 * S4: If you were to get your feet wet while wearing those flip-flops...
 * S4: ...would your soles be dry?
 * BJ: I... I think so.
 * S4: Well then, the mystery regarding this exquisite pair of footwear is solved.
 * AN: What do you mean?
 * S4: The killer had to run away after committing the crime, right?
 * S4: And you know why people discourage others from running near the pool?
 * RB: You could slip.
 * S4: I think that's exactly what happened here.
 * S4: The killer was wearing these flip-flops when they retreated to the edge...
 * S4: And while in a hurry, they got their lower-half submerged into the water.
 * S4: Knowing that, the culprit took off those shoes, and ran towards the edge of the building...
 * S4: ...because their soles are still dry.
 * TC: Hmm...
 * TC: ...that sounds like a plausible explanation.
 * PQ: It seems that we're forgetting a very important piece of evidence right now...
 * S4: What!?
 * PQ: You should probably know what that thing is, Squarangl'r.
 * PQ: We've talked about it before, but dropped it in favor of something else.
 * S4: What are you talking about, Quatro?
 * PQ: We were talking about it in the third Nonstop Debate.
 * S4: The third Nonstop Debate... oh, I get it now!
 * S4: I just need to find out what that thing is!

10: hangman's gambit
What were we talking about in the third Nonstop Debate? __I____

answer

 * TRIDENT
 * S4: I GOT IT!

complete!

 * S4: That's right! We were talking about the trident !
 * BJ: Wasn't that the thing that killed Cuphead?
 * S4: We've confirmed that this trident is not the murder weapon.
 * RB: But how did the culprit find that thing?
 * S4: They got it from this:


 * BJ's Exit
 * Neptune Statue
 * Map of the Pool
 * Neptune Statue
 * S4: I GOT IT!


 * S4: Isn't there a statue of Neptune in the pool area?
 * S4: I'm pretty sure where the trident came from.
 * PE: Wait, wasn't it Poseidon who had the trident?
 * CK: Localization, man.
 * RB: But how did the culprit use the trident?
 * S4: I can think of one thing:
 * S4: The culprit used the trident to...


 * poke Cuphead
 * kill Cuphead
 * row to Cuphead
 * slash Cuphead's floatie
 * row to Cuphead
 * S4: I GOT IT!


 * S4: I think the culprit used the trident to row towards Cuphead.
 * RB: I see now!
 * RB: The trident could be used as an oar !
 * TC: Guys, let me make sure what was going on in the pool area.
 * TC: The culprit used the contraption to fly into the area...
 * TC: ...grabbed the trident and the unicorn floatie...
 * TC: ...then rowed towards Cuphead and slashed his floatie...
 * TC: ...hold on.
 * TC: Why did the culprit slash Cuphead's duck in the first place?
 * BJ: Yeah.. I have no intent to kill him!
 * PQ: But what if it was an accident ?
 * TC: An accident!?
 * S4: Did the culprit accidentally murder Cuphead or was it on purpose?
 * S4: We need to figure that out.

11: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * BJ's Exit
 * Neptune Statue
 * Map of the Pool
 * PQ: Is it true that Cuphead's death wasn't intentional ?
 * PQ: That is the topic of this debate.
 * TC: There's no way Cuphead's murder was by accident!
 * PE: But what if the culprit's emotions are involved?
 * PE: How would the culprit feel after finding out they killed someone accidentally?
 * BJ: They would feel really regretful, I think.
 * PQ: And considering BJ's out-of-character moment, he's probably the culprit.
 * BJ: Hnngh!?
 * S4: I can't figure this out using the evidence we have.
 * S4: However, there's still a contradiction...

answer

 * There's no way
 * Truth Bullet: the culprit's emotions
 * S4: I will shoot through that contradiction!

break!

 * S4: Cuphead's death wasn't intentional!
 * PQ: That's what I was saying.
 * S4: How would you feel if you were on a floatie, minding your own business...
 * S4: ...and then suddenly, someone shows up behind you?
 * BJ: That would be... a state of shock, perhaps!
 * S4: Exactly.
 * S4: That's when reflexes come into play.
 * S4: What would Cuphead normal reaction be when he saw someone right behind him?
 * RB: He'd shoot him!
 * S4: That's what I think was happening.
 * S4: And the killer scratched the floatie the victim was standing on.
 * S4: Since he couldn't swim, he drowned into the pool.
 * S4: Plus, that happened in the middle of the pool, so it's probably where the water's the deepest.
 * TC: Okay, that explains the killer's motive and actions.
 * PQ: And finally, the last part of the murder we need to find out.
 * PQ: The killer's escape.
 * EB: And we all know it's BJ, so-
 * AN: But do we have proof it was him?
 * S4: We do, in fact, have this piece of evidence.


 * BJ's Exit
 * BJ's Backpack
 * BJ's Bellyflop

 * S4: I GOT IT!


 * S4: Right after we opened the door, we saw BJ jumping off the building.
 *  (Blitzy Jr. jumps off the roof) 
 *  PE: What the... 
 *  EB: Did he just committed... suicide !? 
 * PE: Wait, so it wasn't a suicide?
 * CK: We found him outside the building entrance, and he's all right now!
 * BJ: That's right!
 * BJ: So... what did I do to safely land?

12: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * BJ's Exit
 * BJ's Bellyflop
 * BJ's Backpack
 * BJ's Absence
 * PE: How did BJ fall off the side of the building...
 * PE: ...and land without injury?
 * EB: He used that contraption again!
 * BJ: No, it was completely deflated by the time I got to the pool area.
 * PE: You know you could just fill it up again...
 * BJ: That would take too much time !
 * TC: But the killer has to be BJ, right?
 * TC: After all, the evidence points to him.
 * RB: I mean, he's a cat, right?
 * RB: He could just land on his feet and it's like nothing!
 * PQ: I think that would hurt a lot more than you think...
 * S4: That can't happen, and I know because of this...

answer

 * land on his feet
 * Truth Bullet: BJ's Bellyflop
 * S4: NO, THAT'S WRONG!

break!

 * S4: BJ's can't land on his feet.
 * S4: This moment is proof:
 *  BJ: (on the stage) You'd better resurrect one of our dead friends right now- (falls off stage) 
 * BJ: Yeah, every time I fall off a high distance...
 * BJ: ...I fall onto my stomach.
 * RB: Holy crap, that's even worse!
 * TC: But that's would damage his body, right?
 * BJ: It would hurt a lot!
 * S4: Well, maybe if he used this...


 * BJ's Absence
 * BJ's Backpack
 * BJ's Bellyflop
 * BJ's Exit
 * BJ's Backpack
 * S4: I GOT IT!


 * S4: He could use his backpack.
 * TC: You're right, he does have one!
 * RB: But didn't he say that he'd fall onto his stomach?
 * RB: Are you saying that he put his backpack in front of his body?
 * S4: No, there's something more to that.
 * S4: BJ's backpack resembles something quite similar...
 * S4: ...I just need to think...

13: hangman's gambit
What is the secret of BJ's backpack? __R____TE

answer

 * PARACHUTE
 * S4: I GOT IT!

complete!

 * S4: That's it! BJ's backpack is a parachute !
 * PE: You're right! I can totally see that!
 * BJ: ...
 * BJ: You got it.
 * BJ: You hit it right on the head.
 * BJ: That's why I ran away when you asked about it.
 *  CK: I found him! 
 *  S4: Hey, BJ. Why are you holding your backpack all of a su- 
 *  BJ: Uh, it's a secret? (enters building swiftly) 
 * BJ: It's true that my backpack is, in fact, a parachute...
 * BJ: ...but it's no ordinary one.
 * S4: What?
 * BJ: My parachute's handcrafted by my father.
 * BJ: It's designed so that it can be easily repacked.
 * PE: So in other words, it's reusable?
 * PE: Wait, aren't all parachutes reusable?
 * BJ: But what'd you think I did after I landed?

14: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * Map of the Pool
 * Deflated Unicorn Floatie
 * TC: Okay, so right after you landed...
 * TC: ...what did you do afterwards?
 * BJ: I repacked my parachute, of course.
 * AN: That's impossible!
 * BJ: No, it's true !
 * PE: We found him in front of the building entrance.
 * PE: So, when we were walking down the stairs to the ground floor ...
 * PE: ...that was definitely enough time for BJ to repack.
 * BJ: That's right!
 * S4: I want to believe this, but...
 * S4: ...I don't have the evidence...

answer

 * That's impossible!
 * Truth Bullet: definitely enough time
 * S4: NO, THAT'S WRONG!

break!

 * S4: Guys, there's definitely enough time for BJ to repack!
 * S4: The only characters who found him after he jumped off the building...
 * S4: ...are Phil, Boogaloo, Chuck, and me.
 * BJ: I guess you saw me there...
 * BJ: ...and that proves it.
 * BJ: You should probably know who the culprit is in this case.


 * S4: Who is the culprit of this case?
 * Blitzy Jr.
 * S4: IT'S YOU!


 * BJ: That's correct.
 * BJ: I am the culprit.
 * TC: Hold on, that's not true!
 * S4: What!?
 * S4: Why is Tony defending BJ all of a sudden?
 * TC: BJ didn't do it!
 * TC: I start to suspect that one of our alibis is a fake !
 * TC: It could be Quatro, and he did all of that to frame BJ!
 * PQ: No, it cannot be me.
 * S4: I know that BJ is, in fact, the culprit.
 * S4: But let's hear Tony's argument, and I'll give him the final answer.

phase 1

 * TC: BJ's not the culprit!
 * TC: It was Quatro!
 * TC: He framed BJ!
 * TC: Your theory's hypothetical!
 * TC: Where's the proof?
 * TC: I won't give up!
 * TC: You know what you're doing, Quatro!
 * TC: I won't believe any of your lies!
 * TC: Look at the time!
 * TC: Your time is up!

final blow!

 * TC: There's only one scratch mark on the unicorn! How exactly can BJ perform such a feat?


 * ARE
 * HANDS
 * HIS
 * PAWS

answer

 * HIS PAWS ARE HANDS
 * S4: THIS SHOULD PROVE IT!
 * TC: DAMMIT!

break!

 * S4: I think BJ can adjust the number of scratch marks he can make.
 * S4: BJ, you have fingers, right?
 * BJ: Well, yeah, kind of...
 * S4: Then that settles it!
 * S4: Let me go through this case one more time.

16: closing argument

 * S4: THIS IS THE TRUTH OF THE CASE!
 * Fill in the blanks with any of these phrases (one is not used):
 * contraption
 * Cuphead
 * drowning
 * duck floatie
 * flip-flops
 * jumped off
 * lock
 * pool ladder
 * Quatro
 * shoot
 * trident
 * S4: After Jack made his announcement, one certain character left the main hall earlier than the others, and that character was Cuphead, the victim. He grabbed the lock , ran to the fourth floor, and placed it on the pool area's door. This is to prevent anyone from entering the pool area. With a false sense of security, Cuphead grabbed a duck floatie and paddled himself towards the center of the pool. Meanwhile, the culprit, along with Boogaloo, Chuck, Phil, and I, walked up the stairs to the fourth floor. We found the door to the pool area, but it was locked. The culprit then ran off from our group and used their contraption to fly to the pool area. After that, they secretly took the trident from the statue in the pool area, grabbed a unicorn floatie, and rowed their way to Cuphead's duck. However, Cuphead saw them, and proceeded to shoot at them. In a panic, the culprit scratched Cuphead's floatie, and he dashed off. Unfortunately, he couldn't swim, and the distance between the duck and the pool edge is too long. He ended up drowning , and subsequently died. That also unlocked the door, but we didn't know that at the time. The killer, meanwhile, knew that they accidentally and indirectly caused Cuphead's death. They rowed back to the edge of the pool, and also made a slit on their floatie. I don't know why they did this, but I assume they did it to increase their speed. After making it to the edge, the culprit jumped to the pool ladder . That made their feet wet, but they were wearing a special pair of flip-flops . Knowing that their soles aren't affected by the water, the killer took them off to avoid slipping. Finally, right after we managed to open the door, the culprit jumped off the building. Luckily for them, they had a parachute, and safely landed in front of the entrance. We ran back to the ground floor, and found them holding their backpack.
 * S4: All of this pointed to this conclusion: the culprit is you, Blitzy Jr., Ultimate Literal Party Animal !

complete!

 * S4: I assume you have no rebuttals, right?
 * BJ: ...
 * JI: Well, now that the Closing Argument is finished, let's get on with the voting!
 * PQ: Not quite.

17: nonstop debate

 * Truth Bullets:
 * Deflated Unicorn Floatie
 * PQ: It might not have been occured to you right now...
 * PQ: ...but there is a way for Cuphead to stay alive.
 * BJ: There isn't!
 * PQ: No, there is a possibility.
 * PQ: Tell them, Squarangl'r.
 * S4: Is it really impossible for Cuphead to be alive during the crime?
 * S4: Even after BJ deflated the duck floatie?

answer

 * there is a way
 * Truth Bullet: Deflated Unicorn Floatie
 * S4: I AGREE WITH THAT!

break!

 * S4: It is possible for Cuphead to leave the pool area alive!
 * S4: The only thing he had to do is...
 * S4: ... to dash the other way.
 * S4: He didn't know he could do that at the time.
 * BJ: All because he was paranoid...
 * S4: Yes, and I believe that distrust is a factor in his death.
 * BJ: I can't do this anymore.
 * BJ: Jack, start the voting.
 * JI: You should probably know what to do by now.
