3 episodes left, only Baba Tohru character who haven't been revealed yet. In addition, Otoo Takuma who just got revealed and Non (Nonen Rena) who got verbally confirmed by Fukuzawa.
Although i think that Non's ban is still effective during the filming, and either Tamaki Ryo, Iinuma Ai or Mizutani Kaho being her replacement.
The youtuber who exposed this is basically Alex Jones of Japanese entertainment, currently he's getting arrested. If the rumors are true, Taka would've left OKR or even Japan and Mackenyu's career is instantly over.
I'm a bit lost what the end goal of the arsonist (and co-conspirators) is right now. I feel like the donations…
Kansuke may be the cult monitor, since how tf he's know every detail about their childhood. And if your theory about Taro's father is true, he's raised in that cult. But it's too rash if he become the arsonist.
Ken-chan is also suspicious. He is probably the arsonist but it is against his will, between 3 years ago until the salesman arrival i think he is getting threatened or something happened to him during that stretches of time. In the cult discussion, he is the only one who being open-minded.
The rest looks like your regular showa ossan IMO. If they wanted to make a surprise, it's going to be Tokuda or Sankaku.
It's narrowed down to either Hoshizaki or Nishino (or if writer-san messing with us, whoever taller than Ugumori is the killer) and Sagara is obviously "Snape". The face-off scene basically confirm that the students who announced in the first batch is not the killer, Akutsu is a misdirection.
Wait... Sagara? Did I miss something that makes it a certain theory? I do agree that it feels like it. Like he…
During the pachinko scene, Enami's ex said to Sagara that everything went "off-script" and Sagara is the one whose really pissed-off when everything is off the plan.
It's either that, or he really wants to make Kujo suffer but did not succeed in the previous timeline. Your theory is true if Sagara knew that one of the students is the killer (Popular theory is Okudaira Daiken's character or the first wave of student who got revealed alongside Matsuoka Mayu).
As for Tachiki, the cult is her safe zone. I think she is 100% devoted.
Latest episode kinda hinted that tho 😆. We'll see.

Also if you already watch Episode 5, they reveal something interesting too.
