AWW the end was too much of a cliffhanger! And it would of been a hell of a twist if Yoskue or Dojima was the killer.

Will the endurance run end before or after Episode 150?  Or maybe on 150?

I didn't watch any of the ER before episode 100 and Adachi was the one I suspected.
 
A side note:  When they said the lousy detective being the least suspicious or whatever, I thought of the first Scary Movie's ending. lol

still 2 dungeon to go. 
 
But there is only 2-3 week of more optional social linking(if they don't decide to just jump to the end) so it should be faster then the usual.

I like how everyone goes and whines how they knew from the very beginning that Adachi was the killer. Guys, now you can solve real cases!

to be fair it don't really matter much in the end who the killer is, hell even the ufficial artbook (who come with the pre-order of the game) spoil Adachi.

You're actually implying that people are lying about figuring out the perp in a really straightforward murder mystery story? Who would do that? It's just nobody could say who they suspected before this episode for fear of spoiling it for those too undiscerning to realise the game has been deliberately pointing at Adachi all along so Atlas could be sure that the majority of players will pick him at the end and get a good ending.
 
But what does it matter without a motive? As far as I know the motive and how the murder was actually executed has not been spoiled. That part is something that isn't fucking obvious, and will be pretty interesting.

for the last 50-60 episodes I'd begun to suspect Adachi might be behind it, and after Namatame was found innocent I thought there was only him that it could be. Things are hotting up!

Wow, Jeff really worked out the bad guy.
 
I mean, I probably wouldn't have called that. He seemed more like a comic relief character to me.

So they finally figured out who it was, huh? Granted, I never played this or anything, but I figured out it was Adachi a while ago almost exclusively based on one line he said to Charlie. I guess that speaks to good voice acting when you can hint at guilt just through inflection and subtext but not say anything that's out of the ordinary.

It's fun to pick Dojima because logically he COULD have been the killer, being a cop and close to the case and the gang. But there's no motive, and everything that happened with Nanako eliminates him on an emotional level.

It's so cute how they pretend they didn't have the ending and killer spoiled for them.

I hope that if they ever do another Endurance Run, that it's buffered with a good 2 months or so, so they're done or almost done with the game by the time people start watching. I don't think a lot of the people here in the comments understand what "spoiling" a game / story for someone means. It means they end up playing the game in a different way than they would have unspoiled. Believe it or not, that trickles down to the viewers by affecting the people on camera's commentary and play style.

I'd be happy to believe that Jeff only read a spoiler free fact that said "When you see Leader? Pick option X, then X, then X," but no.. I know that a bunch of idiots spammed both their inboxes with spoilers for the game from the get go.

It really shines in these episodes, and it's disappointing.

I haven't heard anything about the Endurance run and haven't finished it yet, but are you guys sure that Jeff had the game spoiled? All of the choices they've picked so far seem really obvious to me. The reasoning behind their choices are well thought-out. It's conceivable that Jeff and Vinny were able to figure out the true ending entirely on their own. 
 
By the way, I love how at first people were complaining that they weren't going to get the true ending, and then once they get on the path to it people complain that they're not playing the Endurance Run truly.  
 
I wonder if anyone will ever read this.

@bkbroiler:  In a later episode Jeff says something off hand that makes it very likely that he's read what it takes to get the true ending.

Awesome episode. I love them talking about who they think did it. This is my first time watching the ER and it's one of my favorite things on the internet right now.

Dude... what if it is Yosuke? (DON'T TELL ME)

Either that... or Adachi. Hopefully it's not that cliche, Jeff called it like the second time he appeared, if not the first.

Years later, watching this, I don't like them even entertaining the thought that someone from their crew did it. Dozens of S.Links later, you still can't trust your posse? Come on...

Third time seeing this, and only now heard Vinny whisper; "Keyser Söze", when they figured out who it was. Found that amusing.

Had I the drawing talent, I would do a comic adaptation of the endurance run with Charlie looking like Vinny with a wig and Jeff taking the form of his many Personas.

It's hilarious going back and reading the great "Was Jeff spoiled on this?!?!?!" Debate that essentially boils down to "the twist isn't good enough to be guessed ahead of time" even though Jeff's comment of "Adachi is the only person with access to our house that we don't have a social link with" is perfect logic.
