I think its Ryota Mitarai he was in the despair classroom after all, just how was he the only one to resist falling into despair like the rest of his classmates?

That's the ultimate imposter disguised as Ryota.

i think after episode 3 we can throw away two pieces of evidence people give about why Chisa's the mastermind

1- No death music (because nobody who died except the security guards had the music)

2- Different death then in the opening (episode 3's death)

I will be posting this in a spoiler tag since it will spoil things up to episode 4. Since this is discussing who the traitor is, I wont give my thoughts on who the mastermind could be if it's not the same person. I rule out everyone with a 0% chance and those with 1% I still consider but it's unlikely, I will change it each episode.

Interesting ideas I only watched through once so far and wasn't paying much attention during ep.1 so I missed the Ryota clue about where the bodies were found. Perhaps he was even coerced to hold the gas canister, either before or after witnessing the guards dead/being killed?(Which is why he always looks so dreadful/anxiety-filled- how come ultimate imposter doesn't look like this?)

Also I didn't notice the Koichi "Time to go meet that girl" connection having ambiguous meaning, then again I just saw Ep.4 so the first assumption is Kirigiri but Monaca is just as likely.

A team of Koichi and Monaca would also explain him pointing at Miaya as the traitor- he thought it would be "fun" and make the game more interesting.

A possible explanation is that Koichi was also a teacher of Monaca- and perhaps he has grown disillusioned towards HPA and believes it is counterproductive to hope; until he grows to think the future foundation itself is hypocritical and instead sides with Monaca. That is just completely made up speculation though.

Look forward to keeping up on your theories if you continue to do so.

4. She is paralleled with Junko in the opening of the Future Arc. Knives and all that.

At this point, I think the plot of Mirai-hen goes like this:

1. The instigator, aka the mastermind, is Chisa Yukizone. She had the underground half of the tower built (or knew about it), modified it to look like it was ruined, installed the monitors and then drugged and moved everyone below, possibly with help of some other Remnants of Despair

2. She contacted Mitarai, who seems to have hidden his involvement with Junko, and blackmailed him to help her create the Monokuma video. This is why Monokuma only speaks once and doesn't hold conversations: he is just a video footage created by Mitarai

3. She also contacted Monaca for help, which is why Monaca knows what is going on. But Monaca refuses to help and instead just observes. Chisa has to leave her alone as otherwise Monaca might ruin her entire plan

4. Chisa eliminated herself first so that Munakata could fall into despair and to avoid ruining the plan by hesitsating or something

5. The bracelets drug everyone, but Mitarai. Mitarai uses his phone to find his victim, wake them up and play the animation that then forces them to commit suicide (this is why there are so many monokuma monitors even though Monokuma doesn't talk to anyone to them). He has to do this because his bracelet's rule is to play an animation otherwise he will die. So Monokuma's rules apply in two scenarios: either someone kills Mitarai (and thus murders stop) or Mitarai rejects to kill anyone and murders stop because he is poisoned. Since he is a coward, he doesn't dare to tell anyone that he is practically responsible for the world's destruction

6. Chisa's goal is to turn her beloved Munakata into an Ultimate Despair. Mitarai, who envies Neagi, wants to ensure himself that Naegi is no different than anyone else and thus wants to have him fall to Despair as well. This might be the strongest rope that Chisa holds over Mitarai. And if Mitarai survives all this while everyone else dies, his grief would drive him crazy and turn him into an Ultimate Despair

7. At the end of the show, Mitarai will confront Naegi, Munakata and other survivors and try to kill them with his animations. But Naegi will resist and his words will wake up the Hope in others, saving them from Mitarai's animations. Thus, Mitarai loses the game

8. Munakata will then try to kill Mitarai and Naegi will try to stop him. Then the 77th class will jump in and save Mitarai from Munakata, and be living proofs that Munakata is plain wrong. A peace will be then made and Naegi will inspire Mitarai to return to his original goal: to make an Anime that will fill the world with Hope

Well, that's all just my two cents.

No doubt it's Chisa.

In fact I raise the bet, and guess that the first person she ever killed was Chiaki Nanami. I think it's important that Chisa is the main character of Danganronpa 3 Despair Arc, I think it's unlikely that she would have come out of it unscathed. And given the fact that the real Chiaki Nanami's fate is such a mystery at this point, I think that would be the most despair-inducing outcome. In addition, the fact that she was supposedly killed at the start of the show doesn't mean much, given that that is pretty much what happened to Junko Enoshima at the start of Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc. And most importantly, the biggest clue that it's Chisa is the way that Munakata reacted when Chairman Tengan told him. I guess it does beg the question, how the hell would Tengan know in the first place but I'm sure there's an explanation for that.
