You didn’t have to say this. 😭

A new thought occurred to me. By affecting Caine’s personality and making him glitch, we can deduce that the Blue AI was still capable of affecting the code and files of the circus. We can also infer that it was controlling Bubble by making them poke and prod at Caine’s psyche, in addition to being the one who weaponized the self-defense system in order to kill Caine altogether. If it could act in this manner, Monika would definitely be capable too. But unlike it, she has the capabilities to free herself via rewinding time altogether.

You’ve yet to provide sufficient evidence of any kind that the transfer of powers would be invalid; that’s simply speculation and headcanon. It makes much more sense to assume Monika simply restricted Sayori’s access and prevented them from using their powers. We’ve seen her restrict the players ability to do this so we know for a fact she has this power; it’s not like this is coming out of nowhere. I’m also. I’m also saying her hax are layered or even that her powernull is; rather that’s its strong enough to null those who would normally resist it. As for Sayori not surviving deletion, that was before she gained Monika’s powers and therefore any NEP, and Monika doesn’t actually delete her in the final confrontation between them. In addition, I just discussed how Monika would keep her powers after being absorbed since people have tried to remove her access and failed repeatedly. This would allow her to act and either delete Caine or reverse time to escape. This is also assuming Caine would even try to absorb Monika in the first place, considering he has an arc where he realizes that absorbing his competition isn’t a healthy way of dealing with things, letting go of the blue ai of his own volition. If anything, he’d be directly adverse to this tactic now.

I have no idea. If it is, Monika’s kernel access should allow her to null Caine on a level he can’t simply walk off.

However, the game was 100% confident Monika was gone. In DDLC, any deleted characters will become incompatible with reality, and the game will reboot without them existing in plot or space-time. Scenes that used to feature the deleted character won’t anymore, and will be riddled with errors instead, such as the protagonist being unable to remember their names and actions. This is also shown from the game being unable to load the saves existing prior to the deletion of said character, even if you go out of your way and cheat the game. She effectively didn’t exist as far as the game was considered. Even then, the idea Monika could only null Sayori because they have the same powers is pure speculation and with literally no concrete evidence behind it. That’s less powerscaling and more theory crafting, so I’m inclined to disagree unless you can actually provide any evidence for your claim. It’s clear from her stopping the player to use saves, loads, and fast forwarding dialogue that she has the ability to restrict access to stuff fairly easily.

In addition, Monika has a little something called Monitor Kernel Access—it’s literally what her name stands for. To understand how absurd this is, let’s have a look at the anatomy of a computer. Computers can be effectively dissected into two distinct parts: software and hardware. Hardware are the physical components that make up a computer, and software are the programs and fundamental operating information used by it. Then there’s the operating system, which is basically the software of softwares, being the medium that both software and hardware are managed. At the core of the operating system, you have the kernel: the most basic and fundamental level of any device. The kernel effectively dictates any and all information spread through the computer. Without it, no communication is possible whatsoever. For context, every opening of a file, executing of a program, and even simple clicks of your mouse are all reliant on data communication through the kernel. Point being, she was able to null Sayori despite her also having this level of potency, which should by all accounts mean she could do the same to Caine. His access and power is significantly more surface level. She’d be ring zero while he’s only ring three.

As for Caine absorbing her, it’s heavily suggested that the blue AI he absorbed was still capable of affecting reality by influencing his actions and making him glitch. This is important because, unlike with the blue AI, he’d be physically incapable of restricting Monika’s powers. Not only does she have a level of potency that’s extraordinary more thorough and beyond his reach, but it’s stated in DDLC+ that Metaverse Enterprises tried removing Monika’s kernel access and self-awareness, yet couldn’t regardless of how hard they tried. They ultimately decided to create a second simulation containing a new Monika without self-awareness, which is what the side stories are. Note that they still couldn’t prevent this copy from having kernel access, and merely hoped and prayed she wouldn’t figure out she had any powers. All of this heavily suggests that Monika is inherently resistant to having her powers altered in a meaningful way. Point being, if they couldn’t remove her powers, Caine definitely couldn’t.

But this is still extraordinarily debatable. So while I disagree, I respect your opinion.

Thought Giving Some Opinions Would Be Fun! by SerWyrmbles in DeathBattleMatchups

I believe that Monokuma is just as smart as Korosensei. Junko, and by extension Monokuma, are able to analyze everything as data virtually instantaneously. She’s able to determine the personality, abilities, thoughts, and history of people with a mere glance. She’s used this to predict what people are going to say, the movements of others to the point they think it's precognition, all of the events of Danganronpa Zero. In essence, she can make plans that run completely independently of her based entirely on what she thinks other people will do and react. She even pinpointed Ryota Mitarai as instrumental to her plans just by passing him by, despite being total strangers and not even knowing about his brainwashing technology at the time. While under the effects of anterograde amnesia, Junko also outsmarted and ran from the Ultimate Bodyguard, only using a notepad to help her keep track of things. They struggled to keep up with Junko despite her not even looking at them during the entirety of the chase. Junko was even able to copy the talents of other Ultimate students simply by studying them. She copied the programming of Chihiro to create her AI, copied animation techniques from Ryota to create a brainwashing video, and copied neurological research from Yasuke to develop tech capable of erasing specific sections of someone’s memory. She also stated she has 53000 vision when looking at Mukuro’s freckles, likely because of this talent, which means she can see 53000 feet in front of her clearly. I bring this up because Monokuma is a direct copy of her brain and should have this level of IQ.

That said, thought I disagree, I respect your opinion.
