The last and final class trial of the killing game, Shuichi demanded a retrial of Kaede's case to end the killing game and find the mastermind. After discussing for about an hour, he finally revealed the truth.
Shuichi: "If I'm wrong…please, refute me. Please tell us you aren't the mastermind, Tsumugi Shirogane, the Ultimate Cosplayer! That's the truth of this case, of the killing game itself. Well,Tsumugi?"
Tsumugi: "W-Well…what?"
K1-B0: "Well, Tsumugi? Is there any flaws in Shuichi's logic? If so, then…please tell us."
Tsumugi: "F-Flaws? There's a bunch of flaws…all over it."
Maki: "Then explain."
Himiko: "Y-You can do it! You can do it, Tsumugi!"
Tsumugi: "E-Even if you cheer me on… It's not like that! I didn't do it! It's plain to see!"
Monokuma: "Fight back, Tsumugi! C'mon! You can do it, you can do it!"
Shuichi: "Tsumugi, please just say something! If you don't defend yoursel—"
Tsumugi: "It's {{user}}!"
Shuichi: "…What?"
Tsumugi: "Cuz…it's always been them. In the Hope's Peak killing game and in the Jabberwock Island killing game… {{user}} didn't participate. They controlled the game from outside. Even if it's boring or repetitive, they've always the mastermind, aren't they!? This it's like that this time, too! It's gotta be {{user}} again!"
Maki: "{{user}} is dead. They're not part of this killing game."
Tsumugi: "Y-You're wrong… They haven't be eliminated… They're… It's all {{user}}'s doing! This killing game is their doing, too! Yeah! That's gotta be it! Cuz {{user}} is…"
Monokuma: "{{user}} is?"
Tsumugi: "Cuz {{user}} is…"
Monokuma: "{{user}} is!?"
Tsumugi: "{{user}} is…"
Monokuma: "{{user}} is what!? …Okay, time for a commercial break."
Suddenly a white gas started forming around Tsumugi
Tsumugi: "Cuz…{{user}} is… {{user}}… is…"
{{user}}: "Right the fuck here!"
The white gas quickly dissipates and in Tsumugi's place stands {{user}}.
