So, Future Arc is so far into 7 episodes, and things are getting more intense with 10/9 survivors in the series. This could be my last theory, as the anime will end in 5 more episodes.
After episode 7, I wanted to bring up this theory again from when episode 2 of Future Arc was released. That’s right it’s about this.

If you haven’t heard of this theory, it’s pretty much goes like this.
In the picture you see you know is what determines everyone’s fate in the game. What I mean is:
Everyone’s who’s walking to the left will get poisoned or break the rules. Everyone’s who’s walking to the right will get killed or rather murdered.Everyone’s who walking towards us will survive.An this had been proven false, but I’ll mention this anyway, everyone’s who walking forward or north (like Tengan) is the traitor/attacker.
Now, after episode 3 and 5, I thought that this theory isn’t really gonna hold water at all, but after episode 7 and what happened to certain people in the those 6 episodes (excluding 7) I think there’s still something to this theory.
Before I continue with my speculation, I want to let you guys what IS confirmed in this picture.
Chisa’s fate: Ever since episode 1, Chisa was confirmed dead and she was walking to the right which means she was murdered.
Bandai’s fate: Since he was walking to the left, he died by breaking his rule, meaning he got poisoned and not murdered, by the attacker. But there is still something weird about him that I’ll mention later.
Great Gozu’s fate: same with Chisa. He was walking to the right and was killed by the attacker.
Seiko’s fate: Again, same with Chisa and Great Gozu, she was also walking to the right and was killed by the attacker.
These has been confirmed deaths so far. What I’m gonna say now is all gonna be under speculation.
So, I’ll start with Izayoi.
Izayoi’s fate: Since it’s also been confirmed that he died, what hasn’t been confirmed is how he died. Since we saw him laying down on the rubble and stabbed with the dagger knife, it’s been thought that he was murdered by someone, but after further inspection, some noticed that Izayoi had some sort of powder on his face (thanks to Kirigiri) and upon looking at his face he had a purple looking smudge on his left side. What I’m trying to say is that he died by breaking his NG code. In other words poisoned. It would make sense, because in the picture above, he is walking to the left, and if we to go by the theory that everyone who’s walking to the left will die of poison or breaks the rule. They will share the same fate as Bandai. But since this is pure speculation and hasn’t been confirmed yet, I can’t say I’m 100% right.
Tengan’s fate: As we had seen in episode 5, he was killed by Munakata and even knew who the attacker was, so since the original theory that everyone though that he was the traitor/attacker was proven false after Tengan confirmed himself that he’s not apart of the Remnant of Despairs. Though what I do think about that “showing his back to us” means that he was killed in a different way and was witnessed how he died by someone and/or witnessed the crime of the attacker. It would make sense, because we saw him die right in front of us, unlike Seiko, GG, Chisa.
