Why are people so interested in seeing [HEAVY V3 SPOILERS]?

Why are people so interested in seeing Rantaro’s first killing game?

We already know that he survives and then dies anyway, so we can’t get very invested in his survival, the storyline won’t matter because it’s a TV show and we know this, and the villain will be Junko, because as Tsumugi states, the villain has always been Junko up to this point.

It is just liking Rantaro? Wanting more Danganronpa? The only idea I like as a concept would be a fake-out of sorts; maybe Rantaro dies first and then you have no idea what’s going on for the rest of the game, so it actually keeps you on your toes.

Is it just the tragedy of it all? Not trying to be rude, I’m genuinely curious.
