Doubt Academy is a Tumblr roleplay that adapts the rules of the Mafia Parlor Game and Rabbit Doubt to the world of Danganronpa. As in the Visual Novels, a group of elite students, each possessing a talent considered to be incredibly vast for their age, find themselves locked inside a twisted mockery of Hope's Peak Academy by Monobear. Forced into a mutual killing game, they're presented with various motives to murder their peers, then ordered to investigate the crimes to try and determine who's responsible.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })However, there's certain key differences in how this Monobear runs things. While the goal of the trials is to pinpoint the 'black' among them so they can be executed for their crimes, if the students screw up and condemn the wrong person, instead of punishing them all and letting the killer go free, he 'just' informs them they missed the mark and executes the unfortunate scapegoat, allowing the criminal to keep living among them, unpunished...So their best hope for survival is determining who's behind the bear. The Mastermind must be living among them... but who could it be? Who among them could arrange such a horrible game? And will they be able to figure it out before it's too late for any of them...?Be warned that all spoilers below are unmarked. It's virtually impossible to list tropes for this roleplay without spoiling everything or creating Self Fulfilling Spoilers.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Arc Symbol: The moon, particularly in its crescent form, has shown up quite often in the game so far, from Kosuke's tarot readings to Sayuri's obvious worship of and devotion to it to a crescent moon being drawn in place of Emiko's head when she is found dead.

comment
Anyone Can Die: The nature of the game. Not even the Mastermind has Plot Armor; they can wind up murdering/being murdered/executed during a normal trial without anyone realizing it. The latter of those three scenarios finally ends up happening in Doubt Academy Alpha in the very first trial. Later on, in Kaze, the Mastermind dies in an accident during investigation.

Rasputinian Death: Two of them. In chapter 5, Genta Sugai is murdered this way, with their death dragging out for several hours and culminating in a huge amount of injuries. In chapter 6, Ryouji Nomiya is executed this way, with about twenty different causes of death... to drive home the point that they're in a VR and Death Is Cheap.

comment
Darker and Edgier: Unlike canon, innocent students can wind up being killed for crimes they didn't commit without that immediately ending the whole game. Deaths for both victims and culprits tend to be more agonizing and graphically depicted than the deaths in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. The third round of games has five murders that have warranted the use of 'read more' cuts and specific trigger warnings due to the goriness of their deaths, compared to the second round (one murder) and the first round (one execution). Reasons for these cuts include decapitations, evisceration, and severe facial mangling.

Victim of the Week
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_18e11001
comment
In Chapter 3, it's revealed that Emiko was the first culprit. The Victim of the Week suffers one of the most gruesome deaths ever seen in Doubt Academy (rivaling Renee's): they were decapitated using an elevator and crucified. During the trial, a schism develops between those who believe Emiko committed suicide and somebody tampered with her body afterward and those who suspect Kozure did the deed. It comes down to a single vote in favor of suicide... and they failed, for their second mistrial. Monobear then follows this up by randomly selecting one of the students — Nanoka Era — and dropping them in the labyrinth before setting off a bunch of bombs. No death announcement follows, and she's later dug out alive, but blind, half-deaf, and crippled in both legs.

Villains Never Lie: This is the chapter 5 motive. Monobear promises that if someone kills within a week and gets away with it, Monobear will answer any question the murderer asks him (with one exception; Monobear categorically refuses to reveal who the Mastermind is, so that question is forbidden).

Conditioned to Accept Horror
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_1b465242
comment
Conditioned to Accept Horror: The Masterminds intended to trap the other "students" in an endless cycle of killing games, resetting their conscious memories each time but subliminally conditioning them into ruthless murderers, so that they can skillfully and fearlessly carry out a prison break. Thankfully, the coding breaks when the first loop is underway, and dead students get ejected from the program entirely, memories intact.

Poor Communication Kills: Frequently, sometimes ending in literal killing. Some characters cling to their secrets, others cast suspicion on others based on incomplete information about said secrets, and even simply misquoting something nearly gets an innocent person executed in Omega.

Trapped in Villainy: If the students refuse to kill anyone, they're subject to usually-fatal motives. If they refuse to execute anyone, someone will be executed at random. They have nowhere to go and no power in the beginning to escape.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: The executions, which are tailor-made for each culprit. Usually, they either mock their Super High School Level talent or exploit their deepest fears, ensuring their punishment is as terrifying as possible. Occasionally, a murder victim also dies in a particularly horrible manner, up to and including being outright tortured to death. Emiko Shiromura was the first such death in Alpha, having her head cut off by a descending elevator for no reason other than she came across the murderer about to kill Takumi and attempted to intervene. The trend of horrific deaths only got worse from that point on.

 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_1f48abcd
comment
Skeleton Key: For the fourth motive, Monobear offers an All-Access Pass. If somebody successfully gets away with murder, they'll be able to reach and explore every part of Gaia. And with the mistrial, it's in play. It isn't used to aid another murder, thankfully; the owner only uses it to break into another murder victim's room to search for clues, and to access the information within a room that's still locked to everyone else. They even avoid using this advantage afterwards because of how the rest of the class constantly asks Monobear about it during future investigations, fearing that they'll figure out they were the killer.

Framing the Guilty Party
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_216dab44
comment
Framing the Guilty Party: Two different variations of this, both nestled within the first trial: Emiko implicated herself by smearing body paint on Ayako and leaving the paint elsewhere. She then explains in court that it could not have rubbed off of her skin and only comes off with certain materials. This convinces just enough people that someone else framed her that they vote for and execute the wrong person. Fast forward to the end of the game. The person who was executed as a result of the mistrial? Turns out he's the Mastermind. Yuuto is technically responsible not just for Ayako's death, but that of every other character that died in Alpha and Epsilon.

Decapitation Presentation: Within a very short period of time, Yuu, Emiko, and Fuuyuko all end up losing their heads. It's worth noting that only two of these were executions. As of Chapter 9, there are now two more who lost their heads in succession: Nicanor and Tamaki. Nicanor having been murdered by Tamaki and Tamaki being executed for it.

Crapsack World
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_21d70919
comment
Crapsack World: As of Black/White, this is a world where students can be bought and sold in bulk for twisted experiments — from one of the most prolific schools in the world, no less! — and the group fighting against the shadow organization responsible for this is just as bad. After the third round, it's shown to be even worse than it seems: The broadcast from Doctrina Artifice sent Japan spiraling into chaos, gutting the government and economy and leaving the population trapped in the conflict between Doctrina Artifice and the Collective, which are both the only major powers in the country and also the least trustworthy ones. Tokyo is a hotbed for rioting, leaving many destroyed buildings and lives, and there are fears that outright war is on the horizon. And this kind of suffering and chaos is the very thing that spurs the Masterminds to action. The slightest comfort is that the situation isn't the worldwide apocalypse that several students assumed had happened.

Mythology Gag: The circumstances behind the first murder draw parallels with that of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Koemi was killed around the time of a party whereas Togami was killed during one. A more meta example is Koemi being played by the same person as Ryo from the first game and Togami being the same person from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. In addition to the above, it shares a parallel with the first murder case in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc: the switched plaques.

Break the Haughty: Akari's extremely used to being praised, and doesn't take any sort of criticism well. During the first trial, she winds up melting down when her classmates fixate on something completely unrelated to the murder, and respond to her rage at the accusations by voting for her, causing her execution. Misaki comes off to others as an Ice Queen, and the game puts her through an outright Trauma Conga Line, including unintentionally helping two innocents get executed, seeing both her love interests murdered right after they got together, nearly causing another innocent death by doubting where the evidence had led, and having all her efforts to see justice done rewarded by learning the hard way everyone suspects her of being the Mastermind. To top it off, she's murdered in chapter 6.

Awesome, but Impractical
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_2bdae2ae
comment
Awesome, but Impractical: The alibi system, especially in DA6, is an incredibly fun game mechanic that lets characters have more of a role in the murders and trials, without making the game into a total scavenger hunt for evidence. It also adds to immersion, especially when the murder takes place during the day. However, it's very difficult to keep track of everyone's - there are too many characters after all, and all of them are usually getting up to several somethings during any given alibi period. It also makes it much more difficult to get away with murder, a fun challenge in previous games, and puts a lot of stress on the people who have to create the alibis. However, overall it's a great mechanic that's added a lot to the games.

Tomato in the Mirror: Aside from Haru and Tobio, none of the kids were actually a part of Hope's Peak Academy. They had been on a list of potential future students, but as part of the Masterminds' plans they were sent fake letters of admission, and they were knocked out and put into the virtual reality when they arrived at the location.

Ominous Visual Glitch
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_30d2689a
comment
Ominous Visual Glitch: This is the first motive in Omega; since they are inside a computer program, if someone doesn't kill within 24 hours Monobear will take down the firewalls and let in some computer viruses so he can start randomly "glitching" students, with Monomi being used as a visual demonstration of what that would look like. However, most of the class dismissed this motive; only the first culprit thought the glitches could actually mess everyone up, and thus the first culprit killed in part to protect the class.

Out of Focus: Due to some players being less active, some of the students have a significantly lower profile. This is due to the beta nature of the first game. Lampshaded during the fifth trial when the survivors struggle to come up with suspects the reclusive Sadao might have trusted, and again during the sixth when Roxanne claims Misaki wouldn't trust Natsumi because 'she didn't even know her.'

Not Helping Your Case
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_33f1c576
comment
Not Helping Your Case: While Takara has a pretty reasonable argument as to why he thinks Reisuke committed the first murder, that gets muddied by his sheer arrogance. He doesn't present his case so much as declare he's right and they're all idiots for not seeing it, and gets upset with the others for trying to work through the evidence on their own. And then it turns out that Takara was actually right, the first culprit was Reisuke. Yumiko gets her own turn at this when she tries to prevent the others from attempting their first Mastermind vote. While it's reasonable to protest that they don't have much evidence, the way she berates them, even going so far as to yell and rant about their stupidity, only leads to them mistakenly thinking she's the Mastermind and wasting their first vote on her.

Boring, but Practical: Tora's nightwatch system isn't particularly riveting for the characters doing the watching, and those involved aren't able to come up with otherwise hilarious and ridiculous alibis and actions for their characters to be doing, but it's allowed for them to catch every single murderer thus far and is a very solid use of the alibi system.

 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_3dcc914f
comment
Took a Level in Kindness: There are more students willing to be nice to Usami/Monomi in Alpha and Omega than there were in Black and White. In Alpha, most of the students actually choose to vote themselves and possibly be killed rather than execute an innocent person - since they have no idea who did it. Unfortunately it doesn't work. The class still ends up voting for the wrong person as the culprit and executing him. In Omega, once the true culprit confesses, several students go out of their way to comfort her before her execution. Also, before then, in general the Omega students were much less quick to jump down each other's throats and accuse people left and right than the Alpha students were, so the true culprit became obvious much faster without a bunch of competing suspects.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: During the first trial, a bunch of panicked kids were thrown into a courtroom and told to figure out an (admittedly difficult) case. They work hard to investigate, and all bravely present their theories... and the entire thing devolves into total chaos by the end, resulting in a mistrial.

Apathy Killed the Cat
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_3f48bffa
comment
Apathy Killed the Cat: In stark contrast to Omega, Alpha's trials appear to fail because only a few people care about the victims, or about the consequences of a mistrial if it doesn't directly involve them or someone they care about. It's entirely possible that their apathy is what caused the victim in Chapter 3 to kill herself. In the second trial, the person who just sacrificed herself with a false confession berates the class over their apathy throughout that week's investigation and trial, resulting in there being no clear idea of what even happened, as well as their disinterest in the medical and emotional support that she could have offered.

Conveniently Empty Building: More like conveniently empty city. Characters pointing out how much of a feat it would be to clear out a city without drawing attention to what's going on there is a repeated plot point, with a few suggesting either military influence or the possibility that it's not a real city at all. It later becomes further evidence that the characters are in a virtual reality.

Bittersweet Ending: A major part of endgame is dedicated to cloning the dead students, and everyone manages to escape Gaia alive. However, Japan is still reeling from the fallout of DA2's ending: The government and economy are in shambles, rioting is common in heavily-populated cities like Tokyo, and the Collective and Doctrina Artifice both have tight grips on the country. The A-Team and many students seem determined to rebel against these groups and restore Japan to normal, but it's unknown if they will succeed. Furthermore, some students are still badly traumatized by what they've been through, and a few are even shown to be highly likely to commit suicide.

Clueless Mystery: Not normally, as Doubt Academy is a Fair-Play Whodunnit through and through, but the first murder and subsequent trial brings this to mind. The characters have absolutely no idea what happened - and the only clues they found that possibly related to the case didn't point to any one particular suspect. The culprit has, as of Chapter 3, been revealed: Emiko, the victim of the week. She leaves behind a confession detailing what happened. Therefore, the mystery was not clueless - her body paint was found at the scene, though she was able to pass it off as a frame.

Esoteric Happy Ending: The outcome of the Chapter 5 trial is an In-Universe example. Several students are relieved that despite technically mistrialing, Monobear seems willing to show mercy for once by ruling that since the person who won the vote had killed somebody before getting killed himself, they still did their jobs. Others, however, think they're crazy for celebrating, pointing out that they still have an unidentified murderer in their midst.

Sacrificial Lamb: Takahiro, the first chapter's culprit, was the youngest of the group and was overall childlike, with a pretty sympathetic motive. His execution really gets to many of the characters and bothers them for a long time.

Sacrificial Lion
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_619985d7
comment
Sacrificial Lion: The death of Yoshiki in Chapter 1 is definitely a case of this. He was suspicious in his actions and reactions to horrifying things, and seemed to generally be a good candidate for a murderer or even mastermind. He ends up a victim - the first one! Later subverted when Yoshiki is revived as the result of Chapter 7's supermotive. Although the game ends in the next chapter and he's not involved with the murder, during the Mastermind discussion he passes on important information about where the dead students have been this whole time.

I Have Your Wife
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_6201e8b0
comment
I Have Your Wife: Chapter 3's motive is that Monobear is throwing a huge party, and if you go to the party, you can find out how your loved ones are doing and whether or not they even miss you! The catch: only killers are invited to the party. So, to find out about their loved ones, someone has to commit a murder. It's then subverted since the motive ends up being unrelated to the murder; the third culprit commits murder due to losing her temper when her victim pointed out her personality flaws.

Even Evil Has Loved Ones
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_63d861f8
comment
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Has developed into a Running Theme, due to the generally tighter bonds between the classmates. The first culprit was friends with several of the class, so they hug her before her execution. The second culprit was less popular, but one classmate tried to sacrifice himself to save her. The third culprit ended up killing her only friend because she lost her temper. The fourth kept up her end of a Suicide Pact as part of a sacrifice to protect the others from that week's motive, but the other secretly backed out and tried to prevent her from being identified.

Our Ghosts Are Different: Anyone who dies at Doubt Academy becomes a ghost bound to the school, able to interact with each other and observe, but unable to show themselves to or communicate with the living... except for by the fountain, or when Monobear opens up the channels at the trial. On top of this, ghosts can still cast votes during the trials, although they only count if required for tiebreakers. Or if Monobear opens the channels.

Plot Parallel
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_685d06d
comment
Plot Parallel: In addition to both games being played at the same time: Monobear draws first blood by executing an uppity Sacrificial Lion. Also, by some bizarre coincidence, in both Black and White, the uppity student is the one at the very bottom of the Class Roster. In Black, the uppity student is Gwendolyn, whose profile is at the very bottom of the Black class roster, and in White, the uppity student is Takahiro, whose profile is at the very bottom of the White roster. Monobear has used I Have Your Loved One as a motive; in this case, it was the first motive in White, and the second in Black. The first murder victims are killed off cuties considered Too Good For This Sinful Game. Both of the second cases include extensive debate about whether or not the victim may have actually been Driven to Suicide by the motive. Also, in both of the second cases, this turns out to be wrong, and it was actually a murder, although the students only correctly figure that out in Black, while White incorrectly declares case 2 a suicide. The third cases: The third motive for both games was the same: the Cruel Mercy of potentially ending the game at the expense of leaving them trapped indefinitely. The third cases appear to involve two incidents: the victim in Black ended up in the water twice, while the other revolves around the victim being poisoned followed by a violent attack. In both cases, somebody very close to the victim becomes the primary suspect. Both of the third trials also feature somebody giving all of their classmates a massive "The Reason You Suck" Speech about participating in the trials at all. Also, the third cases end with the reveal that the circumstances behind the murders were beyond the murderer's control. One was a tragic accident, the other involved the murderer being possessed. The fourth cases: Both contain extensive debates about whether friendship is blinding the students to a painful truth, and the importance of trust. Innocence versus evidence is another major theme in both of the fourth chapters. Despite his Revealing Cover-Up, Hiroshi is, in fact, innocent. While in White, confusion and paranoia over circumstantial evidence leads to their second mistrial — and the first of a living innocent. Both of the fifth murders involve the victim having their throat slit. Also, the victims of both of the murders could be said to have karma biting them in the ass: Doubt Academy Black's chapter 5 victim was constantly begging to die throughout the whole thing, and Doubt Academy White's chapter 5 victim had previously gotten away with being chapter 2's murderer. Both the Doubt Academy Black and Doubt Academy White chapter 6 culprits are well intentioned extremists. The Doubt Academy Black chapter 6 culprit committed murder because he was hoping to graduate and get out... so he could call the police to come and save everyone else from Monobear. The Doubt Academy White chapter 6 culprit is a well intentioned extremist in three different ways: one, she felt guilty over her role in getting an innocent person executed in chapter 4. Two, that execution left said innocent person's love interest all alone, so the culprit killed the victim so the victim could be with her lover. Three, the motive for chapter 6 would have given the culprit crucial information about the mastermind; had the culprit succeeded, she would have given the information to all her peers. The seventh case: Chapter 7 of both Doubt Academy Black and Doubt Academy White involves the students being offered temporary immunitynote meaning they can't be chosen as a victim the following week and two murders being committed. Chapter 7 also sees both classes holding their first Mastermind Votes. Both fail. Chapter 8 has the same motive in both Black and White: if a murder occurs, Monobear will open the monorail, which will lead to "a whole new world"; Monobear guarantees it! However, there's a subversion of the parallel in at least one case: in the chapter 9 trial in Black, and in the chapter 8 trial in White, someone sacrifices herself (it's a girl in both cases) to be executed in the voted party's place by jumping in front of the "execution chain," which then takes her to her own execution. However, Monobear reacts differently to each case, even though each case starts out the same: in Black's chapter 9, Monobear was only trying to execute the innocent Yukie because he wanted an innocent to die out of frustration. So when Setsuko sacrifices herself to be executed in Yukie's place, Monobear is satisfied and Yukie survives. But in White's chapter 8, Larry was actually guilty, so when Tomiko sacrifices herself to be executed in Larry's place, Monobear simply laughs and executes Larry anyway, making Tomiko's sacrifice completely pointless. Finally, the last parallel is in chapter 10, where by freak coincidence, both Black and White groups correctly figure out the Mastermind, so both groups win the game in the same chapter! And as another coincidence, in both cases, this is actually the second Mastermind vote, since both groups guess wrong the first time they had a Mastermind vote.

Real Life Writes the Plot
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_786bf97f
comment
Real Life Writes the Plot: When one of the players was in an accident, their character was given Plot Armor until they recovered enough to participate fully in the game. Both Alpha and Omega had an "extended days" period in Chapter 2, which means there were no murders for two weeks instead of one. This is because one of the moderators had a real-life commitment that took up some time for that period. Chapter 5 in both games includes a double murder. This is partly because the players of a student in each game had to leave, and this was worked into the story.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_7d89315b
comment
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: The first motive involves cards being handed out to each student with something written on it that explains why Monobear thinks they suck (examples include Saori allegedly being only a pretty face, Shay's talent allegedly being a fluke, etc.), and this will drive at least one of the students to kill. Noticeably, a bunch of the students aren't affected by this, shrugging off the insults (such as Saori deciding she's beautiful on the inside thanks to her years of practice, and Shay having to keep from bursting out laughing and deciding if his talent doesn't work out he can always just do something else). Mitsu gives the class one about not trusting each other or appreciating anything useful after they vote for her in chapter 4. In deadblog, Ayako throws around a couple of these during the third and fourth trials. Both of them blow up right in her face, as one is directed at a living classmate who can't even see or hear her, and the other one hurts the recipient a lot more than she thought it would.

Off with His Head!
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_7e6c0522
comment
Off with His Head!: By the fourth chapter, three people have already lost their heads. In a darkly amusing detail, all three of them were killers (though one was an accident). Two were executions. As of Chapter 9, there are two more without heads, one being killed and the other executed: Nicanor and Tamaki. With the deadblog now public, it's now known that Ryota and Lee also inflicted this on themselves. For extra points, Lee's suicide happened during the trial for Nicanor's murder, shortly before Tamaki was executed, making three decapitations in less than twenty-four hours.

Sympathetic Murderer
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_819b6384
comment
Sympathetic Murderer: The first motive involved everyone having a loved one threatened, so while most were upset by the first murder, there was plenty of guilty relief that this seemingly ensured their loved ones' safety. When the trial ends with Fumiko confessing, many of the students express their sympathy and regret. Potentially with the second, though the jury's still out on that one: they insist they believed it was self-defense. It's unclear whether that was the case or not, and regardless, an innocent was punished as a direct result of their actions.

Took a Level in Jerkass
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_8cb1a369
comment
Took a Level in Jerkass: In Alpha, the students are noticeably cruel to the girl accused of being the first culprit, to the point of physically assaulting her and driving her to attempt suicide. They often insult her or claim that she and the second culprit, Yuu Sagara, are meant for each other because they're both murderers. Even when it becomes obvious that there is something seriously wrong with her, they don't relent. It isn't only her, though; during the second trial, Gei yells at Yuu for committing the murder, although at the time it appeared to be a self defense, and when Chiemi faints at the sight of blood while investigating Chapter 2's murder, the accompanying students' reactions were surprisingly cavalier. And Chiemi herself can dish it out; she responds to Kikuyo crying in chapter 3's trial by yelling in her face and telling her to grow up, and then physically attacking her. Eva intervenes on Kikuyo's behalf by slamming Chiemi's head into the podium, but then Dante assumes that Eva attacked Chiemi for no reason and gives Eva a huge lecture on how immature Eva is for prolonging the conflict, despite the fact that it was done to protect Kikuyo. And then, of course, there's the fact that Eva herself chose "slamming into podium" rather than simply "pulling Chiemi away from Kikuyo".

Mystery of the Week: Aside from the occasional extended (Ab)normal Days period, most chapters follow a literal weekly schedule: The first days are dedicated to exploration and social interaction, before being interrupted by the discovery of a body. What follows are several days of investigation and debates. By the time the weekend comes around, a culprit (hopefully the correct one) is locked in and set to be executed right as the new week begins, continuing the cycle.

Wham Episode
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: Through both the GMs' plans and the players' coincidentally similar actions, the fifth cases in both games end up following almost the exact same story, and what a story it is. Threatened by a blackout that puts everyone in danger, one student (Hirashi and Yoshiko) attacks and kills another (Remiel and Naohiro), but is then murdered themselves by a third party that apparently stumbled on the scene. In the trials, the top suspects (Cerys and Sasaki) give confessions, but their friends (Iori and Airi) give such passionate defenses that they manage to get more people to vote for the deceased culprits. It absolutely infuriates Monobear that they'd try to deny him his executions, and he runs the randomizer, selecting two people (Manolo and Chisato). They're dragged off to punishments that leave both permanently injured (amputated hands and lost voice), and their classmates are left to give them urgent medical care. Despite the implications in the prologue that the two games might have been in competition, both games identify their Mastermind in the eighth chapter. This is notable for catching even the GMs of the games off-guard! They admit in the endgame announcement that not only did they not expect both games to hit endgame at once, but that not all of the areas of each game had been revealed at that point in time. There's also the fact that, for Rot, multiple characters admitted they didn't think enough evidence had been found and had only voted for the correct person because he was getting a majority anyway. And what of endgame itself? It's revealed that the students had been in stasis for seven years, locked away in a dome as the world moved on without them. Nao, realizing the Collective has failed to care for his ill mother and that she is surely dead now, then shoots Kyoji Yasuda dead. Later, as some students go back to try and get their formerly-dead classmates out of the mountain, the rest all leave with Doctrina Artifice to safety... and then their escort orders a missile strike on the dome, destroying it and presumably killing all inside. It's only at the end that it's revealed that everyone who found shelter in the cave systems and mountain survived.

Art Shift: The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth executions are just a few still pictures drawn in the style of the original game. In fact, in the first execution and the second execution, we don't even get a picture of the actual "moment of death". However, the sixth execution is different from the others because it's animated! It's even set to the music "Super High School's Desperate Punishment", the same soundtrack that was used when the Mastermind was being executed in the original Dangan Ronpa game.

Take a Third Option

Much of the second trial is spent debating whether the victim might have killed themselves in order to Take a Third Option and prevent Monobear from destroying everyone's loved ones and precious things. She didn't.

Not Me This Time
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_95b875b1
comment
Not Me This Time: After not one, but two murderers go free, characters are constantly worrying about if those people have struck again; they often ask if the skeleton key won from one of the motives has been used, and those convicted of other murders are usually asked if they had any part in the previous deaths. The deadblog characters in particular are very suspicious of Kozure, because they know he's one of the murderers. In every trial after he gets away, at least one person suspects that he's the murderer of that week's case. He never is. Additionally, Kozure is unable to hear and respond to their accusations, so he doesn't even have a chance to correct them.

Riddle for the Ages
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_96a33f11
comment
Riddle for the Ages: Nobody knows who killed Renée in chapter 4. The person who was executed in that particular trial, Ritsuka, was completely innocent. There was another person who was also a big suspect in that murder, but Yukiko is eventually executed for a different murder entirely, and before the execution Yukiko screams that while Yukiko is very sorry about Ritsuka's execution, Yukiko didn't kill Renée either. It's revealed post-game that Yukiko was the killer, but wasn't technically lying when she screamed it wasn't her—because she didn't actually remember killing Renée, since she had brain damage at the time.

Took a Level in Badass: All of the students as of the second trial. Though they had more than their fair share of struggles, and suspicion was mostly cast on innocent parties, everyone still more or less kept their heads about them until the very end and worked together. And, in conclusion, they did manage to catch the culprit, even if it was with the help of a confession to seal the deal.

Dead Guy on Display: The most notable example in Doubt Academy so far, barring Renee's death, would be the Chapter 3 death. Emiko Shiromura is found crucified and beheaded in the Abandoned Ward, with ritualistic symbols drawn on the walls around her in blood. It is the only death in Alpha so far that was meant to be a presentation by the murderer and not made into one by Monobear's announcement.

Taking the Bullet: When Monobear declares the second motive (kill or he'll randomly dole out a Career-Ending Injury), Kazuya attempts to volunteer for it. Monobear replies that he'll just take his name out of the list of candidates and make him watch whoever gets crippled instead. Kiyoshi briefly thinks about doing this, but it's dependent on whether or not he can persuade the others not to kill, so he hasn't voiced the offer out loud yet.

Misaki comes off to others as an Ice Queen, and the game puts her through an outright Trauma Conga Line, including unintentionally helping two innocents get executed, seeing both her love interests murdered right after they got together, nearly causing another innocent death by doubting where the evidence had led, and having all her efforts to see justice done rewarded by learning the hard way everyone suspects her of being the Mastermind. To top it off, she's murdered in chapter 6.

Rule of Three

Rule of Three: Murderers can still graduate by killing their fellow students. However, they need to get away with it three times. The students can attempt a Mastermind vote three times. If they fail to correctly determine who's behind the bear before those three shots are used up, though, the game will end. In the first game, Monobear even spells this out that he follows this while explaining to the students they only have one Mastermind Vote opportunity left. And when they appear to use it themselves (by successfully finding the culprit three times in a row), he claims he's almost proud of them.

Kosuke is similarly affected by Yuuto's death, especially after he gets to talk to Yuuto again in Tartarus; this gives him motivation to do all he can to keep everyone safe and identify the Mastermind.

Cycle of Revenge
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_b7042372
comment
Cycle of Revenge: One of these gets set up during mid-game before exploding in the second half of the game. Starting in Chapter 3, Hiyoko (rightfully) becomes the prime suspect for Chiyoko's murder, and after the mistrial and random execution she remains suspicious in many people's eyes. In Chapter 5, Sasaki sees that Yoshiko has mortally wounded Naohiro, and in retaliation she slits her throat; the class spares her and votes Yoshiko as the culprit, although this leads to a random punishment. Following this, Shuu decides to kill Sasaki, and he enlists Hiyoko's aid, believing her to already be a murderer. During the trial, once he's discovered he throws Hiyoko under the bus, and she ends up being executed while he's sent away to be kept in a dungeon guarded by a few people, among them Mayumi. Airi tries to murder Shuu, but when she tries to incapacitate Mayumi she ends up killing her instead. With some uncertainty lingering about Airi's guilt, there's a push to execute known killer Shuu, which narrowly ends up going through. Airi then confesses but survives to the end of the game.

comment
Obvious Rule Patch: Compared to previous games, Monobear is not nearly as lenient about students trying to take away the joy of execution from him by voting for a dead person, even when they're technically correct about that person being a culprit. He has claimed (and even demonstrated) that he'll run the randomizer if someone directly causes their own death Note In Black, Yamato was considered to be at fault for his death and thus there was no execution for the fourth case. In Epsilon, Monobear claimed that voting for Eva or Aome in the ninth case would have let them go without an execution., or if there are multiple culprits and the class votes a dead one instead of a living one. Note In Omega, the late Akira had been the murderer of Shinji, and when the tiebreaker managed to tie Monobear just gave up, pointed out that the combined total put Akira in the majority, and decided the class was correct. In the case of the latter, when both games take this option in the same week, he mutilates one student each at random as punishment.

Forgotten Fallen Friend: The people in Alpha seem to have a disturbing talent for pushing the deaths of their friends out of their minds. Though there are those who continue to be affected, such as Mitsu (for Ayako) and Chiemi (for Emiko and Yuu), there are a surprising number of people who were close to the deceased and moved on within a matter of days. This is possibly a coping mechanism. Doesn't help that in several cases, the ones who don't forget their fallen friends are also isolated from the others.

Sadistic Choice: Aside from the usual ones, Monobear presents both classes with a new one at the start of Chapter 4. He's willing to give them a break from the usual Motive-Murder-Investigation-Trial cycle — and even let Monomi take over for a week! But in exchange...? They have to vote to execute somebody as a group. In a heartwarming development, both classes voted not to do this.

Fan Disservice: Frequently turns into this, thanks to causing somebody psychological distress and/or revealing a physical trait or injury they never wanted to show anyone. In a few cases, this even reveals an injury that decisively proves who the murderer is.

Shout-Out
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The Animus is one giant shout-out to Persona 4, since it's a mini-game where the class can fight "Shadow" copies of themselves in hopes of winning (however, in this case each classmate does not typically fight his/her own copy, it's usually a copy of one of the others). Eikichi has to fight his own copy though, and it kills him.

Bystander Syndrome: A distinct problem with their investigation/trial system, and the reason so many people are isolated. They don't stand up for one another, and when they do, it's often in direct ignorance of evidence and negatively affects the victim.

Decided by One Vote: Rot's fifth trial has an instance of this when Cerys tries to convince everyone that she had murdered Hirashi. The vote would've ended in her getting voted for and executed if it weren't for a last minute vote by Sunny that made the vote end in a tie instead, leaving the vote up to the dead students and ultimately leading to Hirashi being voted for instead.

Lighter and Softer: In chapter 1, Yukie Seki accidentally breaks a door handle. So Usami appears to give her a "punishment"... and no, it's not execution. Yukie is sentenced to wear a pink princess hat on her head, face the wall for 20 minutes thinking about what she's done, and then apologize to the door handle for breaking it. Not long afterwards, Katsuo gets a time out for knocking Takara out with a pretty powerful punch. Takara also got a time out while unconscious, for slapping Hiroshi (The event that caused Katsuo to deck Takara in the first place).

Ghost Amnesia
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_d07e8fde
comment
Ghost Amnesia: A necessity in some deadblogs due to the risk of metagaming through a trial using a victim's knowledge. A newly-murdered character will awaken with no recollection of how they died or who killed them; at earliest, their memories only return once the trial for their death is over, although it can take longer depending on the players' preferences. Averted in DA5, due to the students being in a virtual simulation. In that game, the dead students' votes on who to execute are meant to be strategic about who should wake up in the mansion next, rather than actually finding the right culprit.

Miscarriage of Justice
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_ddeaea82
comment
Miscarriage of Justice: The third trial becomes one, as the class votes that the victim committed suicide, but it turns out that she was murdered. Yoshihiro is then randomly selected to be executed. The fifth, sixth, and seventh trials become this due to a string of not executing known or suspected killers, at least not for the crimes they're actually responsible for. Sasaki killed Yoshiko after she mortally wounded Naohiro, but a slight majority spares her and votes Yoshiko as the culprit; though it's technically correct, Monobear punishes the class for using a loophole and destroys Chisato's ability to speak. In the following trial, Shuu admits that he killed Sasaki, but then says that his accomplice Hiyoko is very likely to be the culprit of the third trial. Once more, he is spared, while Hiyoko dies in his place. And in the trial after that, despite Airi coming under heavy suspicion, the living are split between her and Shuu, and the dead's tiebreaker chooses to execute the latter. The eighth trial is another mistrial, as there isn't a solid suspect for the murder, and Chitose is wrongfully convicted by a narrow margin.

History Repeats
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_e003c829
comment
History Repeats: The victim in the second case is played by the same person who played Emiko in Alpha. Both of them died in the chapter immediately after someone dear to them was executed. The biggest parallel comes from the trial, however: People begin to wonder if P.K. hung herself, the same way people wondered if Emiko did. With no certain suspect, a majority of the class votes for P.K. herself, just as they did for Emiko – and this turns out to be incorrect, resulting in a randomized selection as to which innocent person will be punished for their mistake. Both characters who are selected (Nanoka in Alpha and Malachi/Shigeru in Rot) are thrown into an apparent execution that directly interacts with one of the areas in the game, but the scene ends with them meeting Uncertain Doom. Unfortunately, the similarities stop here: Nanoka is found alive but with severe injuries, but all that can be found of Shigeru is a massive blood stain with some gore and fabric mixed in.

GMPC: From the second round onwards, the GMs of each game have one character in the opposite game, in order to interact with the other characters. In DA2 this was Gwendolyn Dominatus and Takahiro Hirano, in DA3 it was Saki Shimizu and Eikichi Baker, and in DA4 it was twins Brynja Sindrisdóttir and Bambi Sindrisson. DA5 added some familiar faces to the mix - former students Hikaru Ookami and Jaejin Kinjo, whereas DA6 gives us Touya Nakashima and Takeshi Mori... and later, due to real life circumstances resulting in others taking over running the game, EBULLIENCE and Genta Sugai. These characters are often doomed to be killed at the end of the prologue for pissing off Monobear, helping show that he's very serious about his threats towards the students; in DA5 and DA6 Monobear instead demands the students kill them as the first murder victims. It's been explained that this happens to avoid the chance of metagaming, as the GMs know all the important info of both games, including murderer and mastermind identities. It also helps to give those who die in the first few weeks another person to interact with in the deadblogs.

Exact Words: Monobear's first "motive" is a promise to restore the memories of whoever kills someone. However, after Mameko is murdered, and after Monobear is questioned as to when he's going to give the memories back if he hasn't already, Monobear responds that he never actually said he would give the memories back right away; the killer has to survive the trial first, and then the killer will get what's coming to them! After the first execution, he then twists the knife by revealing they all have the opportunity to get some of their memories back through the Mono Machine, meaning the motive was completely invalid anyway.

Acquitted Too Late: Yuuto in Chapter 1 is eventually revealed to be an inversion. He didn't directly kill the victim, but as the Mastermind he's still responsible for everything. Mitsu in Chapter 4. She intentionally confessed, partly because she remembered what happened in past mistrials and feared that the execution of another innocent was about to happen anyway because of the lack of progress — at least by putting herself out there, she could make sure no one else died. She still hoped they would find the holes in her testimony and put more effort into finding the real culprit.

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_eb8f64a6
comment
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: Poor Yuuto tries to take the lead during the first trial and determine who the murderer is. Their efforts result in Monobear mocking them, being distrusted and doubted, and a mistrial, as enough people become convinced he's actually trying to frame his strongest suspect. To add further insult to injury, it turns out he was right all along. In the second trial, Emiko works especially hard, partly to try and atone for what happened during the first trial. As a direct result of their efforts, the culprit is correctly identified... and it's her boyfriend. Nanoka Era does their best to take charge during the third trial, directing everyone's attention towards their strongest suspect. It's still not clear whether Kozure was responsible or not, as the suicide theory won by one vote — and as luck would have it, Monobear's random lottery selected Nanoka as the one to get punished for their failure, leading to her losing her sight, part of her hearing, and breaking both legs. This sentiment is at the core of Mitsu's calling the others out at the end of Chapter 4's trial, as they accuse their classmates of not appreciating how hard others are working to solve the cases. In the deadblog, Ayako eventually becomes very active in trying to find information about the Mastermind, but rarely succeeds in finding hard evidence. However, she keeps pressing on even as the stress wears her down. When she finally gets a lead on the identity of the Mastermind, it points directly at her boyfriend. She takes this very, very badly.

One Steve Limit: Downplayed, with occasional aversions. It's possible for accepted characters to have the name given names or surnames, and as the roster sorting is randomized, it's also possible for them to be in the same game: Surnames are the most common aversions, sometimes even within the same round: Abe (Kahori and Hirashi); Fukui (Hirashi- now Hirashi Abe- and Minoru); Fujiwara (Shizuka, Wakana, and Naohiro); Hasegawa (Yamato and Yumiko); Itou/Ito note While Romanized differently, the same kanji is used for both characters (Ayako and Minako); Sato (Hisoka and Arisa); Shinobu (Katsuo and Jun); Shiomiya (Machiko a.k.a Saori and Shinji); Smith (Emilia and Nicanor); Takahashi (Etsuo a.k.a. King and Hideki a.k.a. Chris Peril); Takeda (Kiyoshi and Yoshiko); Watanabe (Misaki (first game) and Noboru). The fourth round provides the first complete aversions involving given names and nicknames: Rot has Misaki Asano, who has the same first name as Misaki Watanabe from the first game. Rubble has Naohiro Fujiwara and Nao Tamashiro; judging from the names on several application/roster lists, Naohiro also goes by the shortened name Nao, although he uses Naohiro in-game. The real name of FATE STRIFEBRINGER from Rubble is revealed to be Haruna Himura; they share the same first name as Haruna Kita in Rot. A variety of very similar first names have occasionally appeared in the same roster, sometimes resulting in odd coincidences: Black: Rei Mikami, Reika Ichikawa, and Reisuke Kurosaki. Black: Etsuo Takahashi, Etsuko Tachibana, Setsuko Kuramoto, and Atsuko Minami. Etsuo goes almost exclusively by his nickname "King"; coincidentally, White has Hideki Takahashi, who also uses an alternate name, "Chris Peril". King and Etsuko are both murdered in the same week. Additionally, Setsuko and Etsuko are girlfriends, while King and Atsuko are also dating. Alpha: Yuu Sagara and Yuuto Ikeda. They are the first two to be executed, their girlfriends form the victim/killer pair of the first trial, and one half of the couple dies right after the other. Alpha: Kosuke Aozora and Kozure Fierro. A messily-written note is discovered during the third case that could implicate either one of them; though the living aren't able to identify it for certain, the dead do a handwriting test with the victim and learn it's Kozure's name. Alpha: Chie Narita and Chiemi Shinozaki. It's noted they even look similar. They quickly become romantically involved, although the stress of the game forces them apart. Rubble: Chiyoko Ishihara and Hiyoko Niwatori. Hiyoko is the prime suspect in Chiyoko's murder, but the mystery persists for a while, as the class mistrials through a suicide vote and subsequent random execution. She's later executed for a different murder in part because of this lingering suspicion, and while Monobear refuses to confirm or deny it, she confesses to Nao over the radio that she did indeed kill Chiyoko. Rot and Rubble: Yoshiki Shouda and Yoshihiro Shirayuki. They are the two students who are brought back to life following the resurrection motive of chapter seven. While most of the characters involved are only mentioned and not seen, Alpha introduced Takumi Yoshirou (SHSL Gunsmith), Takumi Sagara (Yuu's brother), and Takumi Itou (Ayako's grandfather). The shared names leads to Yuu seeking friendship from Takumi; Ayako doesn't bring up her grandfather with either of them, however. Etsuo Yamaguchi, one of Takeshi's friends, has the same first name as Etsuo Takahashi (a.k.a. King) from Black. He also has the same surname as Keita Yamaguchi of Rot. Similarly, Ataru Kato shares their surname with Noriaki Kato (a.k.a. T△K△) of Rot. CU from Rubble, Si Hoo from Mizu, and Siyu from Kaze have very similar names phonetically, even if the spelling differs dramatically. Rhiannon from DA5's given name is Chou Chikasue, meaning she shares her given name with Chou Nakahara from DA6. Oh boy, in DA6 we've got Ryouji, Yuji, and Youji. Not to mention Jamie Fen and Youji Fenn, and Kazuki and Kazuko.

The Starscream: Part of the Masterminds' plans. Despite being employees of the Collective, they turned against the organization after Doctrina Artifice (which Wakana also happened to be a part of) made its broadcast and triggered nationwide turmoil. The two then began making plans to take control away from both groups, with Yuuto destroying what remained of the corruption in the world and Wakana leading the rebirth of society.

Distracted by the Sexy: During the baseball game, multiple characters are distracted by Charmayne stripping. Bonus points to Piney Pines, who runs into a wall.

The City vs. the Country: The city - Ateitis - students and the country - Praetis - students tend to clash quite a bit and there's some mutual distrust between both groups, despite the fact that they're all one class now.

20 Minutes into the Future

comment
20 Minutes into the Future: Based on information given in-game and through meta resources, it can be determined that the first five games take place between 2013 and 2018, staying a couple years ahead of the actual date in real life. While the technology is kept a secret within a few organizations, there are cases of Brain Uploading, sentient AI programs, human cloning, sophisticated created chimeras, and countless other things that push it into this territory rather than Next Sunday A.D.; the outside world isn't featured enough to make a call on which side it falls on.

Dark Secret
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_f909b16b
comment
Dark Secret: Serves as the second motive. Monobear has given all the Omega students cards with their biggest secrets and weaknesses written on them; if a murder does not occur within 36 hours, Monobear will reveal everyone's secrets to the whole class. Several of the students are rattled at the possibility, while others are dismissive. Only Usoko is driven by this motive to kill, although there's a Red Herring when Akira pretends it's his secret that's the dangerous one.

Running Gag: Bleeding over from the previous two games, there's Holly physically dragging people places (usually Masashi), Valor's speedo from Chapter 1, Minions/Garfield (especially in chapter 5 where they're literally evidence, people who live in the hotel breaking rotten eggs while trying to open their doors during the Easter event... one very popular one is lampshading the fruitless nature of the handwriting checks, which is made fun of in trials, in investigation, in regular conversation during normal days, and even in the maps.

Translation Punctuation: When someone speaks in a different language, it's frequently noted with brackets. The type of brackets depends on the writer and, if they know more than one foreign language, which language the character is using.

Brain Uploading
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_fc52510
comment
Brain Uploading: A plot element present in both DA2 and DA3, concerning the nature of the deceased students: In DA2: The tests the students were meant to go through involved recording data about their skills, personality, memories, and even appearance. Said data is then backed up in the Backup Simulation Grid. However, if the subject dies, then the saved data gains sentience, as if it's a ghost of the deceased, and is known as an Independent Program. This data can be uploaded into an appropriate body, and plans are made to revive one of the Masterminds this way, although one of the survivors kills the clone instead. That said, the survivors take all the drives containing the IPs with them as they escape, giving hope that they can one day revive their classmates. This also becomes important for a few students that suffered some kind of corruption in their data. Angelo and Daiki were severely glitched and were unable to properly interact with anyone until Iko repaired their data. Yukiko's chip was damaged when she was decapitated, which also led to various glitches in her appearance and words that eventually clears up on its own. And Takara's chip exploded when he put in a wrong passcode too many times, resulting in the complete destruction of his data and no Independent Program to bring to life. In DA3, this technology was intentionally developed in order to help those who are dead or dying. A less invasive way of collecting data than the chips is used, involving anklets and camera. The data is preserved in Elysium, and there are cloning machines in Arcadia that can recreate a human body for the data to be uploaded into. However, of the six researchers who know how to operate the cloning technology, five are killed during the Masterminds' coup and the sixth is imprisoned for the majority of the game. There also exists numerous robotic bodies that are supposedly meant to create soldiers that can fight again and again for the Collective. While the offer is made to upload the deceased into the robots, the survivors instead either leave without them or stay with the remaining researcher, helping him clone human bodies the upload the dead students' data into. One Mastermind does use the robot option prior to this choice, having died before endgame. However, not only does he hijack Monobear's body instead of getting his own, but a prior backup from right before his death is used, meaning that he doesn't have the new memories and personality his deadblog self has; it's implied that his newer data was incompatible with the robot for some reason. This trope returns in DA6, with the students realizing they're in a virtual reality.

Accidental Murder
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_fd497706
comment
Accidental Murder: In Chapter 3, it comes out that the culprit accidentally killed Iko when he pushed her into the pool. Neither was aware she was a robot, or that she wasn't waterproofed. In Chapter 10 when Katsuo confesses after Khadija is incorrectly convicted, saying that he accidentally caused Atsuko's death while trying to defend himself.

Well-Intentioned Extremist
 Doubt Academy (Roleplay) / int_fd4f8299
comment
Both the Doubt Academy Black and Doubt Academy White chapter 6 culprits are well intentioned extremists. The Doubt Academy Black chapter 6 culprit committed murder because he was hoping to graduate and get out... so he could call the police to come and save everyone else from Monobear. The Doubt Academy White chapter 6 culprit is a well intentioned extremist in three different ways: one, she felt guilty over her role in getting an innocent person executed in chapter 4. Two, that execution left said innocent person's love interest all alone, so the culprit killed the victim so the victim could be with her lover. Three, the motive for chapter 6 would have given the culprit crucial information about the mastermind; had the culprit succeeded, she would have given the information to all her peers.
