Start from the beginning here.The story reached its conclusion on November 6th, 2016, nearly a year after it began. The story is continued on "Ask The Despair Kids", which can be found from the begining hereExpect many spoilers for the entire Danganronpa series.Tropes

Artistic License – Biology: Karma states that they have both a penis and a clitoris, along with two sets of fully-functional genitals. Kyoji lampshades the biological impossibility of this, stating that there has to be another reason. That reason turns out to be more plausible: Karma assimilated her twin when they were both in the womb.

Crapsack World
 The PreDespair Kids (Blog) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: In the months following the Fall of Hope's Peak, the Biggest, Most Atrocious, Despair-Inducing Incident in Human History has consumed the world. 4 billion people have fallen to despair, the atmosphere is highly contaminated, and more than a few nukes and dirty bombs have been set off. America is undergoing a second civil war, with the last remnants of the sane population holed up in New England. Mage also states that New York City is...gone. Canada fell to a despair-backed coup. There are literally no more laws and the police and military are powerless to stop the despairs. The European Union is engaged in a war with Russia and is also instigating an ethnic cleansing of North Africa. The video feed from Novoselic also showed heads on pikes. South America is engulfed entirely by civil wars. China has broken up into four states, all of whom are presumably fighting each other After Mecca was destroyed by the despairs, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and even ISIL have set aside their differences to fight them. Unfortunately, things aren't going well for them. Japan's Kanto region is the center of all the chaos, easily the most violent place on Earth.

Shoot the Shaggy Dog: Ryoko's character arc. She arrives at Hope's Peak and falls under immediate suspicion from the anons. Not long after, the boy she loves is seemingly murdered. Then some anons torment her more, refusing to let up their suspicion. During the Fall Of Hope's Peak, she discovers that she's a clone of Junko Enoshima, and that Yasuke is still alive. Not long after that, he kills her.

Yet another alternate universe was created when Maverick's creator had the idea for the Spiritual Successor blog, Ask The New Hope's Peak being set in an alternate timeline to The Pre Despair Kids where Hajime was not transferred to the Main Course and Mukuro did NOT pull a Face–Heel Turn, and the canon events of the franchise occurred, just with the worldbuilding that had been established in this blog being present there.

Everyone Went to School Together: We have the members of the 77th, 78th, and 79th classes attending school, members of the 74th and 76th visiting, two members of the 75th and others from the 74th working there, and countless references to other former students. The only exception seems to be Naomi, who goes to a completely different school not far away. Also extends further back, as some students have known each other since middle and elementary school. This includes Makoto and Sayaka, Mahiru and Sato, and Mikan and Kyoji.

Genetic Memory: Averted. When Kyoji briefs everyone about cloning technology and the possibility that the despairs have made clones of the dead students, he makes it clear that none of them are the same people. And earlier, when someone brings up the possibility that they could just remake Ryouko, he says that it wouldn't be the same person.

Hidden Depths: As in the series itself, none of the characters are all they appear to be at first glance. For example: Kazuichi is actually a very competent rapper. Mikan has scarily convincing acting skills and enough sense to see through Junko's manipulations this time around. Teruteru values people for more than just their bodies. Hajime is a great singer.

Crapsaccharine World
 The PreDespair Kids (Blog) / int_3b79029a
comment
Crapsaccharine World: Just as in canon, Hope's Peak Academy is not only seen as the most prestigious school in the world, but one that symbolizes potential and achievement, where students are allowed a lot of freedom and pretty much guaranteed success for life if they graduate. It's also horribly corrupt, keeps financially afloat by defrauding the badly-treated Reserve Course students, and maintains a pyramidal Fantastic Caste System where the two student bodies are largely kept segregated. They're perfectly happy to not only cover up the murders of Reserve students, like Sato and Natsumi Kuzuryu, but even the deaths of Ultimate students, like Hiyoko, Yasuke, and Celeste if it means keeping up their reputation. And this is all without getting into Ultimate Despair's schemes going on within its very walls. There's also the fact that, while Hajime is not Izuru on the blog, that doesn't mean human experimentation hasn't happened at Hope's Peak. And, according to Kyoji's data, it hasn't just happened once. It's happened seven times. In this historical file written by Commander-Bubbles-the-first, the school was created both as a research facility for talent and as a part of the Propaganda Machine for the Empire of Japan, keeping the population distracted from the atrocities of World War II. At the same time, they were allowed access to the research performed by Unit-731 to help them with the Hope Cultivation Plan.

 The PreDespair Kids (Blog) / int_3bc88a7f
comment
Foregone Conclusion: Mod J has stated that, no matter what anyone tries to say or do, a minimum of five students are going to die before the story ends. And that does not include story deaths like Hiyoko and Celeste. However, he's also given anyone who can guess any of the major story points he has planned the option to save one character from the possibility of death. They'll still raise death flags if certain asks are made, but these won't mean anything. But he's also said that only twelve can be completely safe. Beyond them, anyone could be marked for death.

Noodle Incident: Class 78's New Year's Party. All we really know is that Yasuhiro spiked the punch and seven of the students got wasted. A much darker example happened during Class 75's time at Hope's Peak. All that's known is that Maverick caused it, and it hospitalized half the class, including Miaya who was wheelchair bound after that. Kyoji was not amused.

Bittersweet Ending/Downer Ending: Really depends on how you look at it. Hope's Peak Academy is destroyed, the Tragedy still happens, 3 billion people worldwide have turned into despairs, eight students are dead, Ibuki and Chihiro have fallen to despair, and the survivors end up separated and scattered. However, they're all still alive, together in large groups, and ready to fight for hope.

Actionized Sequel
 The PreDespair Kids (Blog) / int_4389e368
comment
Actionized Sequel: The action picks up quite a bit from its predecessor. The very first arc involves Kyoko receiving an anonymous note saying people close to many of the students have been kidnapped and are being held hostage in Towa City. She's quick to begin putting together a team. The second arc has the team stuck in Towa City for a few weeks, with the Warriors of Hope already waging their brutal war against the adults, and the team separated from Toko, Byakuya, and the captives. The name for the arc takes on a whole new meaning after Junpei, Kyoko, and Mukuro are all captured by Maverick. After a Lighter and Softer third arc, the fourth one has many of the characters captured by Yuuko, placed in a battle royale-style situation in a maze of her own design. To make matters worse, each of them have been given a bracelet with an NG code.

There are also active resistance movements in India and the United States, the latter having two branches. Although, according to Kyoji, the Alaskan group is less of a resistance and more of a separatist movement.

Wham Line: During the Incident of Hope's Peak. Another one that puts into perspective the new situation at hand. And later on. Then there's this gem. Another form "Your Despair." Though it's not so much what's being said but the one who's saying it. We all knew it was coming, but the final line in "...Tock" still delivers massive chills. "The Truth of A Girl" has possibly one of the biggest wham lines in the entire story. "The Online Goal" gives us TWO Yet another when Nagito confronts Ibuki about how she knows the robots are called Monokumas. No less than three from The Princess and The Mechanic: The first one:

Ruritania: According to Sonia, Novoselic is a Micro Monarchy located on the coastal border of Croatia and Slovenia. While has its own culture, there are hints of old French, Spanish, Italian and Polish customs mixed in there as well. Despite existing for thousands of years, Novoselic has managed to stay out of conflict for its entire history. How? It's so small that most of Europe didn't even know it existed until after the end of the world wars, which Sonia admits it is a little embarrassing.

Alternate Universe
 The PreDespair Kids (Blog) / int_8430699a
comment
Alternate Universe: Anons often like discussing the events of the canon and non-canon Danganronpa installments. It's also been speculated that Hiro's predictions are actually glimpses into other universes. After having the plot-point in Danganronpa Zero about her saving Junko Enoshima's life from Isshiki Madarai explained, Kyouko responded very plainly with "Well, this isn't those alternate realities. I'm not the same as those other Kyouko's." Danganronpa 3 revealed that Chiaki was a real person at Hope's Peak before the tragedy. Here, Chiaki is a robot jointly built by Chihiro and Kazuichi. Yuto Kamishiro doesn't exist in this universe. Instead, the title of Ultimate Secret Agent is held by Karma Graves. Juzo Sakakura was fired from his position as head of Hope's Peak's security. Hajime was transferred to the main course as part of the Izuru Kamukura project. However, thanks to all the chaos going on, they've never gotten back to him about it. Junko never met Ryota Mitarai and thus does not have access to his brainwashing anime. From a societal perspective: Huntington's Disease, Color blindness, Hemophilia, and 106 other genetic diseases were eradicated by Kyoji Nakamura, the Ultimate Geneticist. Ryoko Otonashi is a clone of Junko, rather than her alternate identity. The Future Foundation already exists before the Tragedy. Mod J also created another alternate universe in Anon Academy, a more lighthearted work mostly focusing on the named anons. Yet another alternate universe was created when Maverick's creator had the idea for the Spiritual Successor blog, Ask The New Hope's Peak being set in an alternate timeline to The Pre Despair Kids where Hajime was not transferred to the Main Course and Mukuro did NOT pull a Face–Heel Turn, and the canon events of the franchise occurred, just with the worldbuilding that had been established in this blog being present there.

Kyouko and Celestia's ongoing battle has lasted for some 90% of the blog's life after Kyouko's investigation led to her finding out about Celes' plans for blackmailing the other students for fun/profit, after which she announced "Taeko Yasuhiro" out loud as a threat to keep Celes in line. They've been bitter enemies ever since, but called a truce after the end of The Hope Games.

Commonality Connection: During the third round of The Hope Games, Taka is encouraged to talk about his pet shiba inu, which gets Mondo rambling on end about the maltese he used to own. This is the first moment in the games that their Teeth-Clenched Teamwork seems to start breaking down and becoming actual teamwork. Kyoji and Mikan make a connection over their mutual love of medicine. Rock and Ibuki bond over their shared interest in music.

Ryouko in particular gets mentioned a lot, especially when the topic of cloning is brought up. Though this gets turned on its head when a few of them are revealed to have been brought back by the despairs. Ryouko even joins Future Foundation.

During Kyoji's Battle in the Center of the Mind, we find out that not only has Izuru potentially been cloned from Hajime, but Hajime already underwent the Izuru Kamukura Project; Izuru is just laying dormant within him. "The Next Morning": After having been secluded in a cell by the survivors of the student council, Sadao makes an announcement that he's going to reveal who the traitor is. He's later found dead, and everyone is ready to blame Junpei.

Nothing Is the Same Anymore: As of the end of the Vacation arc, everyone knows Junko is the Ultimate Despair and she's since disappeared. And as of the Hope's Peak Arc, we learn Anyone Can Die if the wrong asks are made. Starting with Hiyoko and Yasuke. Now we have The Fall of Hope's Peak, where peaceful days have come to an end, the students are getting scattered or Killed Off for Real, and the world is slowly falling into despair.

In the previous blog she was just another background character mentioned her and there. Now she's become fully integrated as a member of the cast, with her own personality, relationships, and backstory. Same with Santa Shikiba, who didn't even appear in anything beyond the first game's art book.

Adults Are Useless: Played with. Most of the adults who appear on the blog, (Hiroko, Taichi, Jin, Koichi, Chisa and the named anons Daisuke, Kyoji, Ethos, and Suzumu) note  While Kyoji and Ethos are not all that older than most of the students, they still qualify here due to no longer being students. are all genuinely supportive of the kids, however, due to story limitations, they can't really do anything to stop Junko. And then there's Maverick, Micheal, and Yukko., who are all adults working with Junko to spread despair. The Steering Committee fulfills the same antagonistic roles as they do in canon, being blind idiots who are obsessed with talent, and are doing nothing to stop Junko. Finally, many of the characters come from pasts with abusive or absent parents.

The Bet: During the sleepover arc, Sayaka and Leon made a bet over who had the best sleepover. Naturally, Leon lost and had to be her servant for a month, getting the idea from a sleepover dare that involved Kyouko being forced wait on Celes hand and foot for the entire night. Many students in class 77 took bets on the results of the Hope Games. The most remembered one is the one between Nagito and Hajime. It resulted in Hajime being forced to sing Queen songs in public (inspired by this popular animation of him performing "Don't Stop Me Now").

Shadow Archetype
 The PreDespair Kids (Blog) / int_b5e63cc4
comment
Shadow Archetype: When someone brought up the idea of a cross over with the Persona series, the named anons began theorizing what their shadows would be like. Rina: Her shadow would be the little part of her that wanted to take revenge against her bullies and do terrible, terrible things to them. Mage: Her shadow would be very obsessive and switching between reclusive or angry and manic crying at the drop of a hat, yelling, bossy and not trusting anyone at all. It might border on violent. Dragonous: Her shadow would want revenge on all the people who treated her badly when she was growing up. Naomi: Her shadow is actually two different things, all combined. On the outside, it's just part of the crowed. No hair accessories, no pink hair stripe, no color at all, really. It could be any other blonde school girl in the country. But the truth is, it smiles as it hears your deepest secrets. It smiles as it uses them to destroy you. It enjoys having the power of others' secrets in it's hand. Karma: Her shadow is a plain maniac while crying and screaming. It tells her to destroy things and take out her hidden rage on everything. It would tell her she deserved everything that happened to her in the basement, and that she doesn't deserve the somewhat good life she has. It would tell her she has no friends. That she is worthless and she should stop acting like she likes herself, because, in reality, she doesn't. It would tell her the only thing she's good at is violence. Daisuke: His shadow would want to keep the fact that he hates how the students are so annoying and wishes that he wasn't their teacher, and a part of him wants the students to die by Junko so they will leave him alone. Kyoji: His shadow lacks guilt and forethought, being completely self-absorbed. To him letting people die and even killing them yourself is necessary to make the world a better place. He'd say that there are people out there who are inherently harmful or useless to society, and that there is no future for anyone if they don't listen to him. That he knows better than everyone else, and even that everything the Steering Committee did was noble. Rock: His shadow would likely doubt that someone like Rock could face Junko and keep hope alive. Suzumu: Her shadow presents her abnormalities, her past and her rather impressive physical strength, for show. It annoys people look wrong at it. It would look like a pure black no-face. Junpei: His shadow would be about how he’s actually aware that everything he’s doing is wrong, and he wants to stop. And all he says over and over again is just ‘I’m afraid’ until the real Junpei snaps. Maverick: His shadow would likely represent the side of him that hates working for someone else, and desperately wants to be in charge of the Ultimate Despair movement.

Love Triangle: Can't even escape them during the apocalypse. The most blatant so far seems to be between Junepi, Karma, and Orichi, the latter two of whom have made it a friendly competition to see who wins his heart. Another one seems to be forming between Kyoji, Mikan, and Miaya, although Miaya has continuously tried to shoot down the insinuation.

Did They or Didn't They?: A type 4 with Kyoji and Miaya. The two meet up after the party, talk about how grateful they are to have met, kiss a few times, and Kyoji asks her if she wants to spend the night with him, though he does say that they "don't have to anything" if she doesn't want to. She does agree though.

Irony: When asked, Junko said that the easiest to turn to despair would be Mikan and the hardest would probably be Kyoko. It's that line of thinking that allows Mikan to pretend to be a Remnant of Despair without Junko suspecting a thing.

Legacy Character: Rogue was the first Ultimate Artist (that we know of), and about five years after she started Hope's Peak, Oceanis enters as the newest Ultimate Artist. This is subverted in blog canon, however, as Oceanis is eventually revealed to be the Ultimate Spirit Medium. However, the Anon Academy spinoff reveals that there is a second Ultimate Artist in Class 79-C, so it is ultimately played straight.

comment
Two Lines, No Waiting: There are a lot of story arcs going on at the same time throughout the blogs, ranging from personal quests to investigations to just two people goofing around. While there are times where they can feel like three or four lines, or just end abruptly note  It really depends on whether or not the askers themselves continue their story lines or if the blog's ask box decides to be uncooperative, Mod J is fortunately pretty good about keeping things moving and answering questions at the same time without everything devolving into a Kudzu Plot.

Adaptational Wimp: Junko's effectiveness as a villain has been significantly toned down. However, Tropes Are Not Bad. She feels much less like an Invincible Villain who has everything go according to her plan and a lot more like a genuinely sociopathic schemer. She's clever, but she still hits bumps in the road. People have tried to dissuade her, threaten her, plan against her, turned their backs on her, and even managed to trick her. Yet it's her sheer persistence in filling the world with despair For the Evulz that's kept her going as the Big Bad. Her moments of weakness, ironically, make her feel more threatening. When she had her true nature exposed to the students and was forced to flee, it made her into The Dreaded. We simply don't know what she's up to now.

The Chew Toy: Anyone that went through the Truth or Dare challenge (Taka, Mondo, Hina, Sakura, Kyouko, Mukuro) suffered a lot of misery and humiliation thanks to the anon dares/truths. Some anons eventually admitted it had gone from funny to sad, and tried convincing anyone of the 6 to back down just to end it. Mod J eventually admitted to intentionally extending the round past the point of character-tolerance by emphasizing their competitive nature instead.

After Mecca was destroyed by the despairs, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and even ISIL have set aside their differences to fight them. Unfortunately, things aren't going well for them.

Clone Angst

comment
"The Truth of a Girl" has Junko revealing that Kyoji and a group known as the Future Foundation took some of Junko's DNA that had been scattered around the school, and did something both ground-breaking and unthinkable: they cloned her. Where is that clone? We've all seen her, talked to her, and suspected her from her first appearance: Ryouko Otonashi. And it seems she doesn't take the news well.

Running Gag
 The PreDespair Kids (Blog) / int_f9f2c33
comment
Running Gag: It'd be fairly accurate to say a third of the blog is made up of running gags. Kyouko and Celestia's ongoing battle has lasted for some 90% of the blog's life after Kyouko's investigation led to her finding out about Celes' plans for blackmailing the other students for fun/profit, after which she announced "Taeko Yasuhiro" out loud as a threat to keep Celes in line. They've been bitter enemies ever since, but called a truce after the end of The Hope Games. "Makoto's Harem" has refused to die down even after him finding a girlfriend. He is not happy about it, to say the least. The bunny maid outfits from a music video Sayaka once recorded, which Celes made Kyouko wear during the sleepover dares. Sayaka later revealed she had one sized to fit all the other girls in class. "Anon vs. Junko" picked up steam early in the blog when several anons tried talking her out of her plan. "Run Kuwata! Run like you're at the world friggin series!" (or some variation of that) is the standard response for when Leon gets chased. Lately, it's something of a shorthand for anyone who has to run fast. "Sadistic Maizono" for the simple fact that she's the surest source of Leon's suffering, she allowed Kyouko to be embarrassed by the bunny maid outfit the first time around because it would be funny, and she doesn't mind using her status as a Living Lie Detector to prevent her classmates from hiding from certain asks. The KiriZono doujin started as a seemingly meaningless ask from New Years that developed into something of a mini-arc during the fifth round of The Hope games, where Ibuki stole it for her scavenger hunt, while Private Agent (and therefore Kyouko) was instructed to find it. Kyouko and Sayaka's vengeance was... cruel... One anon self-described as "Pickup-Line!Anon" started a fad of hitting on the girls, which eventually started including the guys as well (particularly Makoto). It led to Kyouko calling the lines "underwhelming" and subsequently getting swamped with them in what's come to be known as "The Pick-Up Line Apocalypse." Mukuro's since been the second victim of this. Mod J has been trying to dispel any ideas people might have about Naegi having a ramen fetish, to the point that it's become the entire blog's Stock "Yuck!". Hajime receiving Queen lyrics in his asks has become a fairly popular anon pass-time. note which has also led to many anons noticing that several Queen songs line up eerily well with Hajime's life "Food hair" took off after someone noticed Kyouko's hair sticks together in strange individual strands (which has more to do with Rui Komatsuzaki's art style than anything else) and started calling her "spaghetti head." Eventually, all the students in 78 and a few in 77 gained a food nickname. The class as mythical creatures of their choice, which drew heavy influence from Hope's Monsters by Kuzuriolu. Took off even more after user Baka2niisan sketched the characters as the monster of their choice, along with a few demon incarnations, which they were thrilled by. Togami the bully victim, during the entire Hope Games. To say the least, it was a hard day for him (mostly due to Hina). He eventually got his revenge during the second day of the Truth or Dare challenge, though. In the same vein, the day also came to be known as "the worst day of Taeko's life" after many humiliating experiences in a row like losing several bets/games, getting her name revealed to the entire world and having her drill clip-ons stolen by Private Agent. She, too, got revenge for this. Shipping Kazuichi with machines was run into the ground pretty fiercely, and he hated every second of it (going down as the only time in the blog's history in which the usual anon harassment was redirected off of Leon). Someone even started a blog devoted to SoudaXJukebox shipping. One anon decided to make parallels to the first game's survivors and the Scooby-Doo gang (Makoto=Scooby, Byakuya=Fred, Kyouko=Velma, Hina=Daphne, Yasuhiro=Shaggy, Toko=Scrappy). None of them were happy with it. Several anons really love poking fun at Mahiru for being a Tsundere. Before her it was Kyouko getting the title, but the focus has most definitely shifted to Mahiru. As of the 'Most Likely To' asks, Celes has gained herself a reputation as a drama queen after everybody voted her as one. As for the 'Most Likely To' asks, they drew in the most consistently high number of likes and reblogs of any posts in the blog's history but were discontinued because of Mod J finding them aggravating to fire through since they incorporate dozens of answers into a single post. Ibuki's fear of garden gnomes. Mod J shipping himself with Leon. Mod J lamenting about how his headcanons keep being proven wrong by canon. The named anons grossing Mod J out with their kinks. Playing the The Hunger Games simulator using named anons and other OC's from the blog.
