To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Danga-

Look up the dying message used in chapter 2 of Danganronpa another, its Japanese so you should be able to figure it out considering there are japanese letters on the cover of the video game

Why are all the endings for these games so bad? How can japs write interesting stories but suddenly forget how to write towards the end?

The difference is that English is commonly taught and used all over Japan to the point where if you don't at least recognize Roman letters you're the odd one out. The same is not true for Japanese in English-speaking countries. I know that for a sub-80 IQ retard this may be hard to comprehend, but I urge you to try your hardest.

>t. never been to Japan
High Schools all over burgerland teach spanish and it's fucking everywhere, but you don't see many gringos speaking it or knowing how to read it. You have a very small mind and retarded perception of the world. Please walk outside more and travel, it'll help at least get what little braincells are in there going.

But we're talking about a gap that is LITERALLY as far apart as English and Japanese
If there was some kindergartener tier word play in kanji, would you be able to recognize it?
That's basically what the equivalent of it is.

If you want an overly autistic analysis of this:

The name "Leon" was very purposefully used. The "L" noise doesn't exist in japanese and is usually translated to an R. So, the japanese pronunciation would be "Reon".

So, the puzzle assumes that the average Japanese person will not instinctively think to translate the name to the Japanese pronunciation. It's a name of Greek origin anyway and isn't an English name. Not that it matters but some food for thought.

This also assumes Japanese are familiar with the Latin alphabet.

If you're playing danganronpa you absolutely are enough of a weeb to know some cursory Japanese. Its true latin script is used in Japan but the hindu-arabic numerals are definitely used a lot more often there. Its not a matter of not recognizing it as a word, its the fact that its much more likely for a Japanese person to recognize it as the numbers and think thats all there is to it.

heres the dying message in Another, youtu.be/2fiGNLad3J0?t=1462
it looks like xxxX and once you think you know what it means you stop looking for other answers.

and heres what it means youtu.be/ZUFsygJcyr8?t=3652
I can read katakana but I did not see it until they wanted me to, I assumed there must be some meaning behind the four X's rather than trying to look at it in a different way

my guy please, you actually have to source trust me on this
Japanese people are extremely illiirate when it comes to reading foreign words written in romaji, seeing the letters does as much for most of them as for you constantly seeing japanese letters in artworks or covers

>illiirate
illiterate
ironic yes

My god that's forced as hell. Actually worse than Leon.

Not only are you vastly underestimating English fluency in Japan you're also conflating fluency with recognition, as well as conflating language with alphabet. It is infinitely easier to recognize a letter of an alphabet than it is to understand a word in a language. To claim that no Japanese person would recognize any of the letters of the latin alphabet is ridiculous and can be disproven by observing countless things, from the average Japanese keyboard with the Roman alphabet printed on the keys to the average Japanese city corner plastered with advertisements with English words on them.

The game literally tells you that it was written upside-down in the next conversation. Even if you could give it that someone would have that initial misinterpretation the answer is still just immediately told to the player.
