Teachers will be trained after the 1989 Incident. We now know that it was the Phantom Girl who was killed back then. After realizing this I thought of a few questions.

1980s Mode will be harder, one of the reasons being you won't have Info-chan to tell you who the rivals are. Therefore, Ryoba doesn't know beforehand, probably. If that's the case then if she didn't know about any people who had crushes on her senpai then why didn't she just kidnap him after she got rid of the Phantom Girl? If she did know then how? If she didn't know, but a rival had already appeared quick enough to make her paranoid then how much time has gone by between the death of the Phantom Girl and the first rival? Like, after the 1989 Incident teachers get trained. So if the first rival isn't too far from the death of the Phantom Girl, then how tough would the teachers be? Did the school fire teachers and hire trained ones? Did the school train the already-hired teachers? It seems more likely but it would make the teachers easier to kill.

What if there was some amount of time between the Phantom Girl's death and the week of the first rival. What if Ryoba knew about the first rival and waited for her week to come? If Ryoba doesn't know about the rivals beforehand, then why didn't she just kidnap the father right after she killed the first rival? Did the second rival really appear that quickly? How would Ryoba see the rival come in soon enough so that she focuses more on killing them than kidnapping her crush? Why didn't she kidnap her crush and punish any girls who said, "Aw! My crush has left! He was soooo cute! I would've totally dated him! I would take him away from any yanderes that might like him! Because he was cute! I'm a rival for his affection! Nyeh!" Did Ryoba leave her crush out as bait to get the other girls? If so, why is her objective seemingly more focused on eliminating rivals than getting her senpai? Does she want a goal in life? Why did she kidnap her senpai after the court cases then? Was the senpai so messed up after what Ryoba did (stalked "any girl that spoke to him", M.T. #3) that there was no chance of another rival because he naturally pushed others away or something? I mean, Ryoba has seemingly gotten her rivals bullied, expelled, kidnapped (girls stopped coming to school), and murdered (kidnapped girls are not seen in Basement Tape; Ryoba runs with buckets and mops). The father would probably be messed up to some degree. Is that why Ryoba was fine with kidnapping him after the court case?

Also, at some point I talked about Ryoba being more focused on eliminating rivals than getting her senpai. That she just might want a goal. Did she kidnap her senpai afterwards because since he was so messed up, there was no more goal or hope for rivals? What was her new goal, keeping her senpai a secret? Making him love her? Possibly dealing with being well-known after the court case?

If Ryoba didn't just want a goal, then what? There's no way the second rival could've appeared that quickly after the first. If so, how did Ryoba know that there was going to be other rivals? How did she find out about the second rival when the players are supposed to know themselves? If she guessed that there would be more admirerers then how popular is the father anyways and why? If the father was popular, and Ryoba stalked any girl that talked to him, then why are there only ten rivals? If he isn't popular then how did Ryoba be paranoid to think of the other rivals? Wouldn't she kidnap her senpai, then get rid of any girl she heard about taking any interest in him afterwards? Press him for information as to who he likes?

Please don't answer if you're going to say, "Because it's a game." I want opinions, but YandereDev seems to want this game to have a reason for a ton of things, with a few exceptions being stuff like only being able to hold a certain amount of weapons, even the small ones, but Yandere-chan can hold a bunch of tapes and manga novels. I don't think that this big of a thing, this whole plot would be just excused like that, even if the game is supposed to be made in one month or so. So if he wouldn't say that, then I don't think that that would be the correct answer.
