Shinobu Koshimizu and the Case of the Final Problem

**Shinobu Koshimizu and the Case of the Final Problem** is the name of Shinobu Koshimizu's execution, as featured in Danganronpa: Operation V.K..

This execution was never executed, as Shinobu never killed another player. However, it was discovered behind the Filtration Chamber in Compound vK, and two surviving participants were able to view a demo for how the execution would proceed.

## Sequence

*Excerpt taken from Chapter 90 of Danganronpa: Operation V.K.*

At an outcropping overlooking the basin, the sound of the waterfall crashing from above getting louder as they approached, was the terminal, stood in the outcropping, like a little placard at a tourist attraction. “It is with heavy heart that I take up my pen,” Monokuma said, “and write to tell you about *Shinobu Koshimizu and the Case of the Final Problem*.”

“Told you.” Junko rolled her eyes.

It was Girl N, Boy Q, and Girl W who condemned Girl... X, right? Girl X to her fate, something something claw. “Upon the successful resolution of the trial, I received a message from a child who told me that at the hotel Shinobu and I had been staying at, a sick Japanese woman had requested a Japanese doctor for medical treatment. Being that I am, after all, practiced in acupressure, I returned quickly off, leaving Shinobu by her own.”

The footage was sepia as Girl X, covered in a trenchcoat coat, slowly stepped up the waterfall path. There was fog in the air, blocking the area from sight. In the distance, though, a small voice could be heard. “I was a fool.” Monokuma said. “Naturally, she'd already known that there was no sick Japanese woman. It was a hoax- a ploy to lure her out alone, and she'd allowed me to fall for it, to keep me safe, no doubt.”

Out of the fog walked a dark, black bear doll with a stupid-looking hat and a large cigar and an eyepatch and really, just too much. “The dread Don Kurokuma had wished to lure out the one person he saw as a threat to his enterprise, and take care of her personally- and Shinobu had, in allowing me to leave, accepted his challenge.”

The sepia filter cut off, as the fog cleared, and Don Kurokuma readied his claws. A cartoonish dust cloud began to cover the screen as Girl X and Don Kurokuma began their altercation, limbs and faces flying out in a slapstick 'fight scene' that would be better suited to a cartoon from about two hundred or so years ago. Just as she thought that, of course, Junko saw cartoonish sound effect word bubbles start popping up. 'Pow!' 'Bam!' 'Ker-snikt!' Right. Of course.

Eventually, Girl X, with some help from The Claw, was tightly bound together with Don Kurokuma in a gnarled clash of titans. Of course, as Girl X pushed, they began teetering off of the edge, and soon, a crumbling beneath their feet sent them plummeting to the earth. Don Kurokuma was nice enough to flip around in midair and place Girl X at the bottom of their fall, so she headed, breast-first, for a very, very sharp series of rocks just below.

Cut to black. Noises of gory, gory impalement. “It is with a heavy heart again that I must say that Shinobu Koshimizu, the Ultimate Mystery Novelist, is doubtless dead. I found the marks of their scuffle after the-”

Junko turned around and started leaving before he finished. “I don't care anymore.” Shinobu nodded her assent.
