It did seem odd, that the clothes narrowed it down to several people who couldn't have possibly moved 9s's body. And they couldn't have used a gumball either, assuming one gumball was used to make a gun and the other was used by Buzen.
Which is part of the reason certainty would be difficult, yes. 'Tis a strange pool that it was narrowed to, and I am not quite convinced this tells us all we ought to know.
Still, it may serve you well to keep an eye on them, and bear in mind to watch for strange behavior.
Given that both the clothes and the shovel had a lot of overlap in potential suspects, I think we were on the right track there. But we might be wrong about assuming someone's strength. Especially if they had a secret power back in their world that let them be extra-strong that nobody knows about.
[He pauses for a moment, but decides that Emet-Selch is trustworthy enough to be given a bit of information, which is probably going to bite him in the ass later but that is a problem for future-Atsushi.]
There might be a way for people to get their powers back, if they had powers in their world. I haven't tested it myself, but I found out about it this week. And if I found out about it, it's possible someone else has too.
[the worst thing in the world: not knowing things. this is why he's crystalline, probably. but he just folds his arms, considering.]
Though such a thing would have been risky to simply reveal. The extra angle necessary with theories could then become nigh disruptive, with the speculation involved, and if it is lesser known, it was less likely to be involved.
I only found out about it because I traded 3 coins for a gumball this week. So right now, I think very few people could have possibly earned the chance to learn it.
[He still doesn't know if anyone else besides himself and Kumon has earned extra coins in any way.]
It wasn't the gumball I got, by the way. It was a special piece of paper I got in addition to the gumball. But either you have to buy a 3-coin gumball to get it, or you have to spend 3 coins total to get it. So next week, more people might have access to it.
But then again...not many people would have had a chance to get it, right? And I still don't think it was Kumon.
[Kumon is baby he can't possibly have murdered.
Atsushi is overlooking the fact that nearly all the clues fit himself as well and he is admitting to having the chance to get his powers back. Shhh it's fine!]
I'm sharing a room with him, and he hasn't shown any signs of being anything beyond a normal teenage boy. So yeah, really unlikely it was him.
As for the others...Kazunari is from Kumon's world, so he's probably normal too. Without additional strength from a gumball, I don't think he could have done it.

But if it exists, then that is not impossible.

I think he cannot be removed from the list entirely. But I do have reason to believe Hot Pants' claims that it was unlikely to have been him.
