Watching it the 2nd time, you begin to recover and realise anime makes it far less grim then something actually real but in the moment, it's just shockingly disgusting. I watched her torture scene for the first time with the sound muted and still became despair over it.

Also I agree on Izuru, uncovered memories that broke him, he became despair because he found something he's never felt in his Izuru form, strong friendship, and it's laying in front of you, a bloody mess just lying on the floor. I kid you not. I haven't watched the entire torture scene again. I watched bits of the episode, and now I don't even want to touch that episode for the time being. Even the still images were hard to see when they were uploaded, and I almost broke down and cried. I actually think they are the reason I was awake half the night.

I did have the displeasure of accidentally landing on the part where Chiaki screamed after getting the spear in her knee, when I was watching it again to see the class's slow descend into despair, as well as seeing the black and white swirl eyes start to turn red after Cuchallain said that happened in the episode. Yeah, everytime I think of that part of Chiaki's torture, I wince.

Then I rewatched the part where she was voted as the class representative, and it just has so much more meaning now than it did before, especially seeing how Chiaki's slow torture and death affected them all. That is why any scenes that involve them reacting to Chiaki's execution is my favourite part of the episode, especially when Fuyuhiko calls Junko a little shit, and yells at her to let Chiaki go, and then Hiyoko is begging not to watch anymore. Great character moments for those two. Fuyuhiko, and Hiyoko, once the two biggest assholes of the class, are now caring for Chiaki, as they dont want her to die. It really shows how much the two have grown. I'm glad they did somethign with Hiyoko, as she never got that character development that she was planned to have because Fuyuhiko needed it and Peko basically sacrificed his life for him. They didnt want it to be meaningless. (Which is also a reason why people say Kirigiri isn't dead - Kizakura's sacrifice the episode before.)

Honestly... I dont want to see Chiaki, except on this Wiki. It's too much. I'm scared at the fact that there are like what, 9 to 12 still images of her execution and death. I remember seeing someone add still images and was like "Oh god, there's more?!" I'm getting used to the execution. But... I'm just gonna not see that again once DR3 is over. I seriously hope, they give some awesome flashbacks of Hinata and Chiaki, or of them and her class. It'll at least make me feel better. Fuck.

Episode 11 will probably have a different opening, where Hajime is all but gone and Chiaki basically fades out, and Chisa's an Ultimate Despair. Fuck. I hope not. That would be a slap in the face to the ending where Izuru cries. They need to follow that up now. Of course, there is a rumour that the final episode of despair arc will take place on Jabberwock island, but I would settle with a voice over from Hajime/Izuru similar to the one Kyoko did at the beginning of the Future arc, summarizing his feelings over the real Chiaki's death and possibly confirming the fan theory that he went into the Neo World Program to regain his memories.

Then there is the rumoured special episode that I hope to god is not just about the voice actors. Someone in the YouTube comments said they heard it was. Honestly, I have found no evidence that a special has even been created. Heck, I keep hearing about the despair arc only having 11 episodes, and I can't find any official confirmation on that either.
