Tengan obviously got into Weedman's stash because this is probably the shittiest plan that somehow manages to be worse than anything one can improvise.
this show is so bullshit
having tengan be despair is a perfectly good reason for him setting this up. sure, youd have to be really stupid to voluntarily watch the despair videos, but it'd be better than... "no actually tengan was good its ok he set this up to force mitarai's hand."
(also i was assuming that when chisa showed up with them,..... he was going to be forced to watch it. why not??)
mitarai could still want to broadcast the video even without knowing its what tengan wanted. i mean, he didnt know at first. and he was gonna broadcast it.
i can see literally no reason why youd suddenly have to backpedal and say tengan was hope. wtf purpose does that serve?? other than a super cheap plot twist that... wasn't even exciting. lol.
of course it could only be naegi speculating bcuz hes an idiot (at least he can admit that literally the only thing going for him is his optimism) but if they suddenly change their minds and say "oh tengan was despair after all"
again
why even bring the hope thing up in the first place
who fucking approved of this. how many stages did this episode's script go through to get approved and how many people said "yes" to this
