Two Lies, One Truth

**Two Lies, One Truth** (often abbreviated as 2L1T) is a segment within the Ronpa and Friends Instagram highlights feature that involves a list of three potential fates or events that a character may experience. It made several recurring appearances throughout Ronpa And Friends, and has continued into Ronpa And Friends 2.

## Details

The concept of 'Two Lies, One Truth' is based off of the popular circle group game *'Two Truths and a Lie'*, often used as a get-to-know-you game or a party icebreaker. Much like its reference basis, there are three statements provided in the form of potential future events or fates for a character, with the reader left to speculate on which two are falsified probabilities, and which will inevitably occur in the events of the story. Occasionally, a more cryptic option may be given, such as potential motives or clues to the identity of an unknown alias, such as traitors, killers, or the mastermind.

The first Two Lies, One Truth was released on the Ronpa and Friends page on the week of May 24th, 2020 *(exact date needed)*, around the same time as Chapter 3's Daily Life slides were being released, giving fans the ability to request a character they'd like to see a 2L1T released for. 57 2L1Ts were showcased all-together, for a total of 171 potential fates for characters to be speculated over. Among the requested options included all members of the Ronpa and Friends Killing Game, featured characters in the Intermission segments, as well as characters from other Disney canons who had yet to appear in Ronpa and Friends who may have had the possibility to. However, on the week of July 5th, 2020 *(exact date needed)*, EmpireSpade updated the Instagram story highlight announcing that later chapters would undergo script rewrites, citing that they were unhappy with how they turned out, and that multiple plot holes were prevalent. As such, the content of at least 12 of the 2L1Ts were eventually revealed to have become scrapped, and 4 additional 2L1Ts incurred multiple correct truths after the rewrites.

The second Two Lies, One Truth was released on the Ronpa and Friends page on the week of August 23rd, 2020 *(exact date needed)*, with 38 additional 2L1Ts for readers to solve. In additional to the casts of the killing game and intermission segments, readers could also request characters who at that time had been revealed for Ronpa And Friends 2; however, caution was requested to be heeded in the legitimacy of them as much about the characters had yet to be written outside a skeleton standpoint. Potential options for characters from the first season to reappear in the second season were also provided, with most turning out to be correct. As of the Chapter 1 Deadly Life Holiday break, 24 2L1Ts have had their result confirmed, 3 2L1Ts are awaiting canonical confirmation, and 11 2L1Ts have yet to have their truths determined.

A third Two Lies, One Truth was released on the Ronpa and Friends 2 page on the week of May 30th, 2021 *(exact date needed)*, with another 38 additional 2L1Ts, all of which involving the fates of characters within the canon of the second season. The scope of the characters include the Parkland residents, the Intermission characters, and characters from the first season who had yet to reappear.

*The first 2L1T was uploaded prior to the conclusion of Chapter 3's Daily Life. Because of a restructuring of elements to be shown in the second half of the series, this 2L1T has since been considered outdated since its release.*
