Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Dangan Ronpa (often rendered as "Danganronpa")note literally, Bullet Rebuttal: The Academy of Hope and the High School Students of Despair, officially titled Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc in English, is a "high-speed mystery action adventure" by Spike, released in Japan for the PlayStation Portable in 2010, the Play Station Vita in 2013, Steam in 2016, and the PlayStation 4 in 2017. It is the first installment in the Dangan Ronpa franchise.The story takes place at Hope's Peak Academy, an illustrious private school that only accepts "super" students: the best of the best of the best. The criteria extends to any niche, so in addition to super-geniuses and super-athletes, they take super-idols, super-gang-leaders, and super-nerds.Makoto Naegi is an utterly unremarkable Ordinary High-School Student who is still baffled as to how he got in: being chosen by a random lottery, which admits him on a "super-good luck" scholarship. His luck turns out to be quite the opposite though, as when he is about to begin his first day at school he suddenly loses consciousness.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })When Makoto awakens, he finds himself trapped with fourteen other students within the walls of the academy, with the exits and windows all bolted and sealed. A sadistic Killer Teddy Bear named Monokuma (or Monobear) reveals himself as the instigator of their plight and gives the students two options: they can either live out the rest of their lives peacefully within the Gilded Cage of the school, or attempt to escape by "graduating".To "graduate", a student has to commit a perfect murder by killing another student and getting away with it. When a murder happens, a class trial is held amongst the survivors, who investigate the case, then vote on who they think the murderer is. If they are correct, then the guilty party is messily executed for "disturbing the public order". If they are wrong, then the murderer "graduates" and is allowed to leave the school, while everyone else takes the punishment in their place.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_1'); })As Monokuma, hungry for a spectacle, introduces additional "motives" for the students to kill each other, the tension within the school reaches breaking point and the bodies start to pile up. It's up to Makoto to make sure that the culprit of each murder is found so that the innocent students have a chance to figure out the secrets behind the school and possibly escape.The game has inspired a series of other works, a list of which is compiled here. A compilation game was later released called Danganronpa 1・2 Reload, which includes both the first installment and its sequel with some incremental improvements to both, such as a bonus scenario for the first game called "School Mode": a social mode that lets Makoto hang out and form relationships with the other characters without worrying about the main plot progressing.The sequel also included a side story by Ryohgo Narita of Baccano! fame titled "Danganronpa IF", a What If? scenario where Makoto manages to obtain an item called the "Escape Switch" from the gift machine before the first murder occurs, dramatically changing the events that transpire. Please put all tropes relating to the IF scenario specifically in the appropriate section below.An anime adaptation aired as part of the Summer 2013 Anime season. Funimation is streaming it for those in the US, (watchable on Crunchyroll as well) and has dubbed the series as well in 2015. For the dubbed anime, the only returning voice actor from the original game was Naegi's.Be warned that all spoilers below are unmarked. It's virtually impossible to list tropes for this game without spoiling everything or creating Self Fulfilling Spoilers. The game also has has a number of translations (official and unofficial) varying in consistency, so that context may affect how certain examples are written. | |

Dying Clue | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_103e0141 | comment |
Dying Clue: Two examples: Overlaps with Couldn't Find a Pen in the first case. As Sayaka is bleeding to death from her stab wound, she uses her blood to write "11037" on the wall beside her. It's actually the name of her killer, LEON Kuwata, but she wrote it upside down from the point of view of the investigators (and the crossbar on the N was incomplete). Hifumi, the second victim in the third case, tries to speak the name of his killer, but cannot talk clearly as he had been bludgeoned over the head and was near death. His last words are "...a...k... Yasuhiro". The real culprit, Celestia Ludenberg (real name Taeko Yasuhiro), uses this to frame Yasuhiro Hagakure, whom she had intended to take the fall for the murders, but it's pointed out that Hifumi had a idiosyncratic habit of referring to people by their full names (original) or their last names (localization). | |

Kyoko, for instance, was never intended to be a heroine, but rather fell into the role through sheer investigative tenacity turning her into a difficult target for murder and an easy ally for Makoto. The fact that she dies first in an earlier version of the script hammers this point home. | |

Fake Longevity | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: Trying to get all the presents essentially boils down to replaying Class Trials a bunch of times to grind for Monocoins, as well as constantly replaying School Mode to max out the Relationship Values for each character for their underwear. It's actually worse in the original release, which lacked School Mode. As a result, it takes an incredibly long time to get all the Free Time Events. To expand on that, there are 19 opportunities to preform Free Time Events (the first locking the player into Sayaka) and over 40 Free Time Events. It takes 3 playthroughs just to get all of them, particularly since Makoto can only build upon the relationships with the three people who die in Chapter 1 before the murders start. | |

Trailers Always Spoil | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_143939c1 | comment |
Trailers Always Spoil: One of the first trailers released for the official English release of the game makes it blatantly obvious that Leon is the first killer, as well as showing the lack of Sayaka and Junko in the first trial scene. Then there's the one that not only shows Makoto on the conveyor belt in "After School Lesson" getting closer to the crushing machine, but the parts where he falls through the trapdoor into the garbage room. To make it even worse, most of these things are also spoiled by the opening movie that plays every time the player opens the game. | |

| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: School trials can be broken down into Non-Stop Debates (literally shooting down contradictions), Bullet Time Battles (breaking through Ad Hominem arguments in a Rhythm Game), Hangman's Gambit (filling in blanks), and Closing Statements (assembling how the murder went down by placing events on a comic-style timeline). | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: If a character is too happy, you can bet they're going to be involved in that chapter's murder. Sayaka implies that she has a crush on Makoto? Not only is she killed, but she had him pegged as her fall guy. Mondo and Kiyotaka become friends? Mondo kills Chihiro and Kiyotaka becomes completely broken. Hifumi finds his "ideal 2-D girl" in the ironically male Alter Ego and Kiyotaka bounces back after meeting Alter Ego? Kiyotaka's the next victim and Hifumi is killed by the person who convinced him to murder him. Sakura and Aoi, by far the kindest students? Sakura is The Mole and commits suicide, leaving Aoi heartbroken. Alter Ego gets over being a computer program and promises to help? Monokuma steals and crushes him. Makoto helps Kyoko screw over Monokuma? In the bad ending, Kyoko's the next one to be executed thanks to Makoto himself. | |

Playing the Player | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_17687a09 | comment |
Playing the Player: The choice to reveal Kyoko's lie in court in chapter 5. An experienced player would think they're playing a Ace Attorney-style game where the truth counts over everything, and therefore reveal her lie, but in this case they're actually playing an "outwit-the-mastermind" game, where throwing Kyoko under the bus is what Monokuma wants. And the game makes sure to rub it in the player's face if they are Wrong Genre Savvy. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: Promotional material showed all fifteen students in the trial scenes (obscuring who dies in Chapter 1) and heavily implied that Sayaka would be the main love interest for Makoto — while Makoto is somewhat interested in her, she's ultimately the first victim. The free demo goes so far as to change the victim of the first case to Yasuhiro. This was repeated in trailers for the anime. | |

The Heart: Despite being impaled and in considerable pain, Makoto calmly talks the paranoid and confused group into uniting and giving Mukuro the self-admitted terrorist a chance to speak. He does this by talking though the bonds and secrets he shared with the others, including Sakura's hidden rivalry and Toko's next novel, proving the trust each of them shared before having their memories erased. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Some of the students are more willing to cooperate with Makoto than others, but it's not unusual for somebody to hold back information until the trial. Poor communication almost kills everyone! In chapter 4, Aoi reads a fake suicide note by Monokuma implicating the others, so she tries to frame everyone for murder so they'd all be taken down. The others forgive Aoi, though, because their own poor communication skills caused them all to get angry at Sakura in the first place since they thought, as the mole, Sakura was going to kill them and they didn't even talk to her to confirm it, which made it necessary for her to commit suicide to calm the discord and chaos. | |

Deadly Game | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_1d91d828 | comment |
In Chapter 6, the mastermind goes out of their way to avoid showing Junko's face in any images depicting her before the memory-wipe happened and the Deadly Game started. This is a necessary measure to prevent the characters from figuring out that she doesn't look like the "Junko" they knew, but it makes it really obvious that she's the mastermind. Indeed, Makoto uses it as a crucial piece of evidence to come to that conclusion. | |

Cruel and Unusual Death | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_1e584efa | comment |
Cruel and Unusual Death: The executions, obviously. Each execution is specifically tailored to its victim. In order: The Headmaster: Tied into a rocket, shot into space, and then sent crashing back to Earth, with the heat from reentry reducing him to nothing but bones. Leon Kuwata: Dragged into a baseball cage and bombarded with baseballs until he dies. Mondo Owada: Tied to a bike and forced into a sphere cage, where he is sent on a ride that goes so fast he is literally melted into butter, which Monokuma puts on a stack of pancakes and eats. Celestia Ludenberg/Taeko Yasuhiro: Tied to a stake and is nearly burned to death in a Salem-style execution, which is exactly the kind of dramatic, romanticized death she would love to have... so Monokuma runs her over with a fire truck instead. Alter Ego: Smashed with the arm of a backhoe over and over until the laptop is turned into a ball, which is then decorated to resemble Monokuma's face. Kyoko Kirigiri (bad ending)/Makoto Naegi (good ending): Strapped to a Conveyor Belt o' Doom and rolled into a giant crusher where they are smashed into a pancake, all while Monokuma lectures them about sex ed. Makoto only survives when a virus planted by Alter Ego hacks the execution and saves him. Junko Enoshima: All of the above. And she enjoys it. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: The generally-honorable Kyoko in a single act from episode 11. In the game's fifth trial, suspicion jumps between Makoto and Kyoko several times before settling on the planted locker key. Based on a later line to Byakuya, she probably wanted to prove that the trial was a trap by showing that none of the students could have done it, except she miscalculated the mastermind executing someone else in desperation. When time runs out with all the suspicion on Makoto, she first argues at Monokuma for inventing a rule and then looks thoroughly disgusted with herself, calling her own actions unforgivable and trying to tell Makoto she's sorry and that she'll avenge him in what look like the last moments of his life. In the animation, however, no suspicion ever falls on Makoto (since the trial gets condensed to roughly 10 minutes) and he later moves the discussion towards the whole trial seeming questionable without the provocation of trying to defend himself like in the game. When time runs out in this version of the trial, she tells a bold-faced lie about him planting the locker key in her room — which was originally an explanation brought up by Byakuya in the absence of a suspect — after he just defended her when she was backed furthest into the corner. We never see her show the same intense regret over her sending him to his death, and her lengthy apology in the trash dump was also cut very short. While removing the player choice was necessary, this set-up ends up making her look a lot more petty and cold-hearted. | |

Chekhov's Boomerang | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_21f3e32e | comment |
Chekhov's Boomerang: Alter Ego. Early in Chapter 2, a laptop is found in the library and seems to be inoperable. It quietly disappears, although no one comments on it. Chapter 3 reveals that Chihiro had fixed it and installed his own program, Alter Ego, to analyze the contents of the laptop. In Chapter 4, the files are cracked, Alter Ego is hooked up to the school's network to search for more information and contact the outside world, and he is executed. Chapter 5 has a copy of Alter Ego, planted in the school's network when the original was hooked up, save Makoto from his execution, helping to set the stage for the final confrontation. The sixteenth student. There is an empty seat in the trial room: when asked about it, Monokuma says that the room was built with a capacity of sixteen people and that there's no further meaning to it. At the end of Chapter 2, Monokuma admits to The Mole there actually is a sixteenth student, but refuses to elaborate further beyond the fact that they're his "ace in the sleeve". Their identity is only discovered later, at the end of Chapter 4, and Chapter 5 has said student supposedly murdered. And then Chapter 6 reveals that it was an older body used, someone who died all the way in Chapter 1! Come the start of the last trial, and Monokuma takes the sixteenth seat. | |

Black Comedy: Junko keeps up a cheery attitude during her execution, coupled with her methods of avoiding death, at least until the very end. The executions in general. Just because someone's getting brutally and horribly murdered, doesn't mean Monokuma won't try to inject some comedy into it. | |

Chekhov's Gag | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_22cf50f9 | comment |
Chekhov's Gag: At the end of each chapter, an 8-bit sequence video would pop up where Monokuma walks up to the chapter's culprit and drags them away with "GAME OVER" being displayed on the screen. Come the last trial, where the mastermind is executed, and they go willingly with Monokuma whilst "CONGRATULATIONS!" is being displayed instead. It could be showing how hope has overcome despair, or alternatively, if "GAME OVER" was a message to the culprits, then "CONGRATULATIONS!" is a message to the mastermind, who wanted this execution and succeeded. Yasuhiro predicts that he and Makoto will each have a child by the same mother. If the player gets the Bad Ending, they each father a child with Aoi. He also predicts that there will be no more murders from Chapter 3 onwards. This comes true: Sakura commits suicide, Mukuro was killed back in chapter 1, and Junko executes herself. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The "Space Journey" execution — the very first thing we see when beginning the game. While we don't get a direct answer for who was executed, it's implied that it was the original headmaster. In Makoto's introduction, and throughout the game, he notes that if there's one thing that makes him unique, it's that he's slightly more optimistic than most people. At the very end, this makes him "Ultimate Hope", and thus the perfect counter to Ultimate Despair — optimism and hope are basically the same thing. Most cases have important evidence that's introduced well before the murder actually takes place, or may still seem irrelevant until the trial is underway. An example of this is Mondo and Kiyotaka's sauna duel. If Makoto spends time with Chihiro in Chapter 2, the topic of Artificial Intelligence comes up. In Chapter 3, it is discovered that Chihiro installed an AI, known as Alter Ego, on a laptop, to help assist the survivors. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: For all the things the anime glosses over, it does expand on a few emotional scenes. Notably, the scene preceding Leon's execution is made much more gut-wrenching as Leon desperately tries to escape through the door while futilely pleading for his life, really driving the point home of how utterly terrified he is of death. Similarly, the scene before Mondo's execution in which Kiyotaka breaks down in tears and begs Monokuma not to kill him was considered somewhat narmy in the game due to how over-the-top Taka's reactions are, but the anime's more realistic rendition is truly heartbreaking. By the end of the execution, he's reduced to a blubbering mess and is even leaning over a puddle of his own tears. It may seem like an odd thing to bother animating, but during the investigation montage in episode 1, Yasuhiro can be seen flipping through a magazine in the laundry room. In the game, it's possible to find him there mentioning he's about to start doing his laundry. In episode 4, they give a shot of Chihiro working on something that anyone who played the game will recognize. How and when Chihiro had time for this was never explained in the game, and its existence was only foreshadowed in a Free-Time Event you may not see. The anime gives us a little more direct foreshadowing and explanation. And in another act of foreshadowing in that scene, we see that Chihiro is using his male-exclusive toolkit. Additionally, in episode 6, the entire remaining cast gets to see the first suspicious class photo courtesy of Alter Ego, rather than Makoto simply stumbling upon it. And in the final episode, Makoto doesn't just spout out "You must not lose hope!" alone but goes on a whole Rousing Speech for each of the surviving students to keep their hope up. | |

Bellisario's Maxim: Invoked in the tutorial, which lampshades the fact that the regular sequences of free time events are identical to the ones in the original game; hence, characters talk about killing even when Monokuma just has them building robots and hasn't actually said a thing about "graduating" yet. Though he does offhandedly mention something about the students killing each other, a fact that is not lost on Byakuya. | |

Failure Is the Only Option: As she's cradling the broken Monokuma with her sister's voice still feeding through its speakers, Ikusaba tells Enoshima that their plan was inherently flawed because it required the students' school memories to be erased. Knowing they would never kill each other otherwise, by this act she's admitting that their hope was too strong for her to beat, thereby undoing the entire point she so badly wanted to prove to the world. Enoshima simply responds by once again calling her a disappointment. | |

| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Earlier, in Chapter 1, some of the major pieces of evidence against Leon besides the dying message come from his attempt to destroy his bloodstained jacketnote sometimes described as a shirt. Not only does it not burn completely, leaving a piece of bloody sleeve that matches his Limited Wardrobe, the other debris he leaves near the locked-down incinerator indicates it was turned on in a way that could only have been done by someone with his particular talent. All in all, he might have done better just stuffing it under his bed. | |

Hifumi, the second victim in the third case, tries to speak the name of his killer, but cannot talk clearly as he had been bludgeoned over the head and was near death. His last words are "...a...k... Yasuhiro". The real culprit, Celestia Ludenberg (real name Taeko Yasuhiro), uses this to frame Yasuhiro Hagakure, whom she had intended to take the fall for the murders, but it's pointed out that Hifumi had a idiosyncratic habit of referring to people by their full names (original) or their last names (localization). | |

| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_323fd510 | comment |
Everyone Is a Suspect: Everyone except for Makoto and Kyoko is suspected of killing Sakura in Chapter 4. There were multiple attempts on her life, and at least three people confessed to having done it. | |

Kick the Son of a Bitch | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_32768814 | comment |
Kick the Son of a Bitch: Playing right into Monokuma's desire to sow discord among the students? Maybe. But it's oh so satisfying when Aoi takes a swing at that Smug Snake Byakuya. | |

Evolving Credits | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_3297cfbb | comment |
Evolving Credits: The ending credits. The first episode has a blank screen, but the second episode features an empty classroom, with Naegi and the first dead characters. More characters are added as they die. Any trial/execution episodes would skip the opening and "Makoto plus dead students" ending scene, instead showing how the trial is about to begin, and the students' horrified reactions on the executions respectively. Episode 7 is the exception to this opening rule, as the episode begins not with the trial, but with the discovery of Yasuhiro in the Justice Robo outfit. As of Episode 10, the surviving students are also included. And in the final episode when the picture is back, the fake Junko has been replaced by Mukuro while the real Junko stands behind Makoto. As of episode 6, the opening credits have evolved to add Toko switching into her Genocider personality. | |

Not Helping Your Case | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_33f1c576 | comment |
Not Helping Your Case: Some of the first words out of Mukuro's mouth in response to Monokuma (under the guise of being hacked by someone trying to rescue the students) claiming that her and Makoto are Fenrir terrorists is to yell out that he's not a terrorist. Kiyotaka points out to her the claim doesn't deny the accusation against her being a terrorist, and politely asks her to correct her statement to include herself. Worse yet, Celeste zeros in on the fact that she's clearly trying to help someone she's supposed to have met only a few days ago (hinting at some other connection). | |

Pac-Man Fever | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_38d3a0f7 | comment |
Pac Man Fever: A meta-example, in that the game, while not having any video games within the game, features monochrome 8-Bit representations of all of the students, and the executions feature 8-bit animations of Monokuma dragging off the culprit to their doom, complete with sound effects ripped straight from the Atari 2600 port of Donkey Kong. As if to reiterate to the characters that this is a game to the Mastermind. The anime ups this with the end credits that spoof an NES title screen. | |

Adaptational Heroism: While Byakuya's still a huge Jerkass, at least he doesn't openly and contemptuously talk about his plans to eventually be the successful blackened. In the game, Celeste proudly declares that she has a Lack of Empathy when asked how she could murder Hifumi and, by proxy, Kiyotaka, in such a cold-blooded fashion. This is omitted from the anime, and while her selfish motive remains unchanged and she thus remains the least sympathetic culprit by far, it does make her a bit more human. | |

Establishing Series Moment: The first murder, particularly after it's revealed that Sayaka did it to frame Makoto, and Leon, after killing Sayaka in what was (at least initially) a case of self-defense, also tried to frame Makoto for his crime. This not only establishes that Anyone Can Die and no one can be fully trusted, but it also shows that decent people can be driven to do terrible things as a result of their circumstances while still having redeeming traits, a recurring theme. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: Monokuma suggests the students are going to do this to Makoto once the two "terrorists" are caught (such as pouring soy sauce in his wounds).

I Never Said It Was Poison: Mondo mentions the color of Chihiro's sports clothing, in a situation where only the murderer would be able to view it. In chapter 3, Celeste says that "We are going to die just like those guys" before the second murder victim was found. Byakuya, though not a culprit, also gets a chomp from this in Chapter 2, as once a murder is announced, he makes a beeline for Chihiro's body, where he posed it in the girls' changing room. | |

Conveniently Seated | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_4c6e935 | comment |
Conveniently Seated: The trial room placement has potential to spoil who survives. Like a protagonist, Makoto stares directly across from the empty seat that Junko would eventually take, Aoi and Yasuhiro border the same spot while Kyoko and Byakuya are respectively two spots away from them. Toko spoils the symmetry. | |

Clueless Mystery | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_4cf9fe88 | comment |
Clueless Mystery: Each chapter in the animation rushes through the investigation phase, so that many of the clues and witness accounts which were originally detailed in the investigation phase are instead only revealed or properly explained in the middle of the class trials. This means you are always one step behind the characters in terms of what they know, and can't really solve the mystery as you go along unless you've beaten the visual novel already. | |

Motive Rant | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_4d044580 | comment |
Motive Rant: In one chapter, Monokuma actually does this for the murderer, who doesn't want to explain what happened even after exposure. Lampshaded by Aoi in Chapter 4, when she demands to know why the others want her to explain everything to them just because she's the culprit (she's not the culprit). | |

| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_4de1a4f7 | comment |
Improvised Weapon: Mukuro spends the second half of the story fighting with an IV stand she used to block Monokuma's claw in the infirmary, which both sliced one end off and sharpened it to a pointed tip. Her final gambit involves using it as a javelin on the Monokuma holding the real escape switch. | |

Wham Shot: After the fourth trial is ruled a suicide, Monokuma declares that he won't let his execution go to waste and will punish a "special guest". Makoto wonders who said guest could be... when suddenly the screen cuts to a close-up of Alter Ego's face, causing a massive Oh, Crap! in the students (and likely the player) as they realize Monokuma's about to crush what seems like their only chance of escape at the time. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early Installment Weirdness: The game can be a bit jarring for veterans for this reason: The game is overall less outlandish than later installments. While it does get a bit weird in some areas, later installments took the series in a much more extreme direction. Notably, there are almost no elements of sci-fi like in the later games. The portrayal of Hope's Peak Academy is radically different to later games. While in the first game the school is presented as an Elaborate University High with a very small population, later installments portray it as an extremely corrupt School for Scheming with a much larger population of students. The portrayal of The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History is radically different, presented as if Monokuma had taken over the world. In the later installments, the event is instead portrayed as a series of terrible events across the world, with Ultimate Despair being anarchic terrorists. Most glaringly, the conflict between hope and despair is played as straight Black and White Morality, which is bizarre in retrospect when much of the series from then on is built on how hope can also corrupt. This also makes the straight portrayals of Makoto and Junko an outlier. The game is noticeably more chaste — bar some Ho Yay, the only elements of romance are Makoto's crush on Sayaka (which only lasts about halfway into the first chapter due to the latter's death), Toko's love for Byakuya (entirely Played for Laughs), and Kyoko becoming the Implied Love Interest. Compare this to later installments, where the Ship Tease and outright romance is considerably played up, usually to tragic results. Unlike later installments, in which all characters have Free Time Event chains of equal lengths, some of those who die early on only have a few events (for example, Leon and Mukuro have three each, and Sayaka has only two), while people who make it into the late game and survivors have longer chains- in Toko's case, she not only has several events, but Genocide Jack has a few, too. | |

But Thou Must! | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_504e271f | comment |
But Thou Must!: Makoto runs into this a few times, such as being unable to avoid his Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! moment in Chapter 3 or tell Kyoko about what he saw in Chapter 4. During Chihiro's final Free Time conversation, Makoto is asked (obliquely) which guy would be best for helping him become stronger. Even if the player has played to the end of Chapter 2 and knows what is going to happen, the game still won't allow them to get out of that conversation without recommending Mondo. Averted during a choice in Chapter 5. Taking the "wrong" option there leads to the Bad Ending, after which Makoto informs the player that it was probably the wrong thing to do, before the game cuts back to the choice. Chapter 6 plays on the trope — the mastermind, after being revealed, offers for the students to join them. Accepting only leads to them saying they were joking. Later on, the mastermind forces the player to pick one of three identical options, only to immediately declare the player's choice as correct before Makoto even gets the chance to respond in the game, just because they didn't want to bother waiting. | |

All Your Powers Combined: A hilarious yet brutal example — when Junko loses Chapter 6's trial, she receives all the previous executions in a row as punishment. Makoto's skill points could be interpreted this way, with him gaining traits from his friends after spending enough time with them to use later in trials. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_5663a595 | comment |
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: In the game, Chihiro brings up the possibility that the infamous Genocider Syo has locked them up, and Toko wears a worried look on her face with some Visible Silence, before freaking out when Aoi says that the police will surely arrive to help them (as if to imply she's afraid of getting caught for her crimes). Here, the discussion never turns to the Genocider at all and Toko freaks out over nothing when Aoi says the same (the dub got around this by changing the context to have Toko agree that the police arriving would be a good thing... which is a whole other can of worms). | |

Adaptation Distillation: It's bound to happen when the adaption is of a game that's 20+ hours.

Spanner in the Works: Makoto becomes one once he tries the Escape Switch. The chemical reactions caused by him getting electrocuted-ly stung by a needle makes him so sick that he collapses when Sayaka comes over to suggest the room switch that led to the first murder, and when he wakes up, his memories start to return and he saves Mukuro from being impaled. This causes her Heel–Face Turn and sends the plot wildly off the tracks. | |

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: Many of the characters' backstories are condensed or left out in order to accommodate for the show's length. Significant details on the setting are also left out. For instance, the anime completely skips over the revelation of how one room in the library is filled with top-secret documents, files, and records from all over the world, and chooses to focus solely on how it has important files on Genocider Syo. Similarly, in episode 5 the trial skips important details about the victim's identity as a whole (in the game we find out about Chihiro's "secret" when Sakura inspects the body in front of everyone, but in the anime Kyoko finds out off-screen and then explains it in the trial). However, Genocider Syo's very dramatic trial appearance and a certain character's reactions to the trial's results and the execution that follow are expanded. Episode 7 also skips a lot of several important details (such as Hifumi's tendency on calling people in last name-first name order, which reveals Celeste being the mastermind behind that trial). However, some of the cut off parts might end up for a better light on Celeste. In the anime, her statement that she has a Lack of Empathy and has no problems in manipulating and disposing others for her own gain was removed, removing some of her unsympathetic points, and on the other hand, only Makoto was shown noticing her bluff instead of him and Byakuya, making her scheme less blunder-filled. On the other hand, however, Makoto's monologue about how Celeste was faking her smile to hide her fear of death was also removed. | |

I Just Write the Thing | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_63357bac | comment |
I Just Write the Thing: Several interviews imply that head writer Kodaka Kazutaka takes this attitude, writing scenarios as they come and seeing how the characters would react to them. Kyoko, for instance, was never intended to be a heroine, but rather fell into the role through sheer investigative tenacity turning her into a difficult target for murder and an easy ally for Makoto. The fact that she dies first in an earlier version of the script hammers this point home. | |

New Game Plus | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_637ef67 | comment |
New Game+: Junko gloats about planning to invert this by erasing everyone's memories and re-entering Mukuro into the game... as herself, but with a wiped memory so that she doesn't recall who she was or her role in everything. Naturally, this is all for the despair that'll follow when everyone eventually discovers the Awful Truth of her identity. | |

Pink Girl, Blue Boy: Invoked by the dorm rooms, which are identical besides having blue sheets/blankets for male students and pink for females. A similar theme is used for the locker room doors on the second floor (except with red replacing pink). | |

Lack of Empathy | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_658f7193 | comment |
Episode 7 also skips a lot of several important details (such as Hifumi's tendency on calling people in last name-first name order, which reveals Celeste being the mastermind behind that trial). However, some of the cut off parts might end up for a better light on Celeste. In the anime, her statement that she has a Lack of Empathy and has no problems in manipulating and disposing others for her own gain was removed, removing some of her unsympathetic points, and on the other hand, only Makoto was shown noticing her bluff instead of him and Byakuya, making her scheme less blunder-filled. On the other hand, however, Makoto's monologue about how Celeste was faking her smile to hide her fear of death was also removed. | |

Bizarrchitecture | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_67fedd35 | comment |
Bizarrchitecture: The windows in the student's dorm rooms have plates bolted onto the sides behind the customary bed, despite this basically meaning there were once windows there designed to look into the next person's room. If the hatch in her Monokuma control room is Junko's only means of getting meals, the building's layout implies that she would more likely get plopped into the third floor's hallway while being nowhere near the cafeteria. | |

Dub-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_6a85e9e1 | comment |
Dub-Induced Plot Hole: In the original script, Monokuma simply told Makoto and Byakuya during the fifth investigation that Kyoko has something on her hands she wants no one to see, while NISA's script has him outright declaring that she's hiding hideous burn scars underneath her gloves. This leads to Byakuya seeming dumber/less observant by the fact that he still believes she's the victim after hearing that and then not comparing it to the corpse, which is free of any burn scars on the hands (while, Makoto's thoughts merely trail off towards the inconsistency of wearing gloves over fake nails). Byakuya calls the bloody classroom he finds on the fifth floor "like a battlefield" and the dub has Monokuma telling the two to "soldier on" in solving the room's mystery, as if to imply Mukuro did it. This line wasn't in the original, and Danganronpa Zero reveals that a battle did take place in the location. Years later, in Dangan Ronpa 3, we finally get to see said battle. Though Ikusaba actually was present (and did indeed kill someone there), most of the killing was done by the student council themselves. | |

However, the specifics of it aren't shown until the second game. | |

She's stopped later by Kiyotaka suggesting a shift system, which leaves him waking up beside Mukuro in disguise (which he might not have if Byakuya hadn't decided to skip out on his turn). | |

Because You Were Nice to Me: Junko accuses this of being the reason why Mukuro is so intent on saving Makoto's life and brutally mocks her for it, with plenty of disturbing innuendo to boot. During the two years spent at Hope's Peak, Makoto was the first person to smile at her, despite her title of Ultimate Soldier. In fact, Mukuro is always looking straight at Makoto in class photos—and according to Word of God, if she's looking into the camera, that means he's the photographer. | |

Crotch-Grab Sex Check: In the original Japanese version of Chihiro's ending, Chihiro proves he's a boy to Makoto by moving Makoto's hand somewhere "on his body", which is strongly implied to be this. In the localized version, it's specifically said that Chihiro moves Makoto to feel his chest, likely to appease the censors. Although Makoto implies that he was expecting the crotch and was relieved that his hand ended up somewhere else. | |

Most glaringly, the conflict between hope and despair is played as straight Black and White Morality, which is bizarre in retrospect when much of the series from then on is built on how hope can also corrupt. This also makes the straight portrayals of Makoto and Junko an outlier. | |

Body of the Week: The only way out of the school is committing a perfect murder — obviously, someone's going to wind up dead in every chapter. This is subverted in Chapter 5, as an older body is used to fake the crime scene. | |

Entertainingly Wrong | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_81c4faa3 | comment |
Entertainingly Wrong: In the ending of School Mode, "Junko" seems unsettled after Monokuma's defeat. Aoi says they're probably thinking the same thing, "Junko" is visibly shocked... and Aoi worries about if they'll stay in touch after they leave the school. | |

ConservationOfNinjutsu | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_82f5ced1 | comment |
Conservation of Ninjutsu: In-game, the Monokuma units prove to be practically indestructible, so much that even Sakura can't destroy one whilst needing a day's worth resting from the mere encounter. Here, the little monsters go down in droves, with one falling to Leon of all people (to say nothing of the headcount earned by the fighters). This may have been given an in-story justification with Mukuro's narration claiming that controlling more than one Monokuma at a time (let alone 30) is a task of such Herculean difficulty that only the sheer willpower granted by Junko's need to bring despair allows her to pull it off. | |

Wham Episode | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_8e20979 | comment |
Wham Episode: Let's start with Chapter 1. The first victim is Sayaka, and shortly after that, Junko is killed for attacking Monokuma. See Never Trust a Trailer. Then at the end of Chapter 2, it's revealed there is a mole among the students, and there's also a separate sixteenth student that Monokuma is hiding. The end of Chapter 3. After learning about it from Kyoko, Makoto finds a secret room in the boy's restroom. Before he can take a good look around, a mysterious masked man attacks him from behind, knocking him unconscious. When Makoto wakes up, he finds that the room has been cleaned out. Then, when he staggers to the gymnasium, he finds Sakura fighting Monokuma, and they have a conversation implying Sakura is The Mole. Chapter 4's one of the biggest wham episodes. Monokuma reveals Sakura's identity as the mole right off the bat... and then Sakura is killed... and there's a bloody message with Toko's name just like with Leon! ...no wait, that was Yasuhiro framing Toko, he killed the ogre, he even confesses! ...no wait, actually his strike didn't kill Sakura, Toko and Genocide Jill confess to it... no wait, Aoi framed everyone, she confesses to the murder! ...no wait, it was actually a suicide! And Monokuma gave Aoi a fake suicide note! Nice going, Aoi... no wait, everyone decides not to punish Aoi and they're all against Monokuma now! Looks like Monokuma can't execute anyone... no wait, Alter Ego, NOOOOOO!!! And then, at the very end of the chapter? Kyoko suddenly reveals the name of the sixteenth student! Chapter 5's bad ending turns it into another wham episode, because this is the first episode where pointing out a lie in court, which the player has been doing the whole game, results in a bad ending where Makoto, Byakuya, Aoi, and Yasuhiro, and Toko until recently all live happily ever after, with no more murders, but in a gilded cage. And if the player doesn't get the bad ending, and choose to trust Kyoko? Makoto gets judged guilty, and sent off to be executed, and it's only from a last-minute surprise interference from a virus planted by Alter Ego that he doesn't die. He's still trapped in the basement with no way of getting out, though... but then Kyoko herself comes to rescue him. Chapter 6 is made up of Wham Episodes. Monokuma agrees to do a re-trial of Mukuro's murder and seems to be slowly losing his sanity. Part of Monokuma's deal is that the students have to solve every mystery in the school. One of the sixteen students is the mastermind. Kyoko discovers her father's remains as well as hints that he really did care about her. Furthermore, all of the students had attended Hope's Peak before, but had their memories erased. The biggest part? Mukuro Ikusaba was disguising herself as Junko, and the real Junko was the Big Bad all along. | |

Karmic Death | |

Karmic Death: Monokuma's punishments for the blackened students are specifically tailored to each of them: Leon is bombarded to death with baseballs, Mondo is strapped to a motorcycle and driven around a Globe of Death so fast that he turns to butter, and Celeste is set up to be burned at the stake...only to be crushed by a speeding fire truck instead. The exception is Alter Ego, who Monokuma only "executed" to toy with the surviving students. | |

Riddle for the Ages | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_96a33f11 | comment |
Riddle for the Ages: Kiyotaka and Mondo refuse to answer who won their endurance contest in the sauna. The manga purports that Kiyotaka was the first to pass out, but its canonicity has never been confirmed nor denied. Kyoko and Toko's motivational photographs in the final investigation, because Toko's never came up in the discussion and Kyoko refused to take hers. The anime shows Toko's, depicting the students playing in the snow without her, with Junko's face hidden by a recently-thrown snowball◊. Most of the mysteries brought up in the final trial are addressed in later installments, but it's never explained anywhere why the twin sisters Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba have different surnames. When asked about it, Junko says the answer is boring and that the students should figure it out themselves. | |

What Measure Is a Non-Human? | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_9c45b5a2 | comment |
Most of the execution scenes cut away from the victim or use other camera tricks before the moment of death, and only the first shows a recognizable body afterward (Mondo is butterfied, Celeste is somewhere underneath a fire truck, and Kyoko/Junko are crushed under a giant block). The exception is Alter Ego, who is a program on a computer and therefore doesn't have anything to cut away from. | |

A Day in the Limelight | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_9c8701b5 | comment |
A Day in the Limelight: The first manga series, rather than recount the entire series, basically acted as supplements focusing on specific characters, and was chock-full of Alternate Character Interpretations for several characters. These interpretations make a lot of sense as they're mostly the game viewed from the POV of these characters, especially some of the murderers, instead of from Makoto's POV. | |

Interface Spoiler: The player is able to accuse dead students of the murder, implying the possibility of suicides and faked deaths. Case 5 ends in a Fission Mailed scenario where the player is shown Makoto's execution, only for him to be saved at the last moment... but the effect is somewhat spoiled by the fact that, immediately prior to this, the player is shown the victory screen for that Class Trial, which announces a verdict of "live another day" and awards them the usual bunch of coins. | |

Once he convinces the first four, the main theme kicks in when the discussion loops back around and Kyoko's previously untouchable statement changes to a weak point. | |

Long Title | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_9f2898f7 | comment |
Long Title: The Japanese title of Chapter 6 translates to: "The Reason Super High School Level Bad Luck Enticed Super High School Level Murder and Super High School Level Execution and Super High School Level Despair". Thankfully shortened (but not by much) with the use of the word "Ultimate" in place of "Super High School Level" in the official localization, turning it into "Ultimate Pain, Ultimate Suffering, Ultimate Despair, Ultimate Execution, Ultimate Death". The title of the game can be counted as this as well, as the original Japanese title translates to Dangan Ronpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair. The Anime of the Game is titled ''Dangan Ronpa: Academy of Hope and High School Students of Despair: The Animation''. | |

The Summation | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_9fda81a7 | comment |
The Summation: Closing Arguments boil down to this, with Makoto giving his take on how the crime was committed before calling out the murderer. He doesn't get to do a Closing Argument summation in chapter 5, because he never actually solved the entirety of how the murder happened. If the player decides to reveal Kyoko's lie in court, Monokuma cuts the trial short and executes Kyoko. If they decide not to reveal Kyoko's lie, Monokuma cuts the trial short and tries to execute Makoto, who is saved at the last minute by Alter Ego. | |

Revealing Cover-Up | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_a1b0c1c2 | comment |
Revealing Cover-Up: In Chapter 6, the mastermind goes out of their way to avoid showing Junko's face in any images depicting her before the memory-wipe happened and the Deadly Game started. This is a necessary measure to prevent the characters from figuring out that she doesn't look like the "Junko" they knew, but it makes it really obvious that she's the mastermind. Indeed, Makoto uses it as a crucial piece of evidence to come to that conclusion. Earlier, in Chapter 1, some of the major pieces of evidence against Leon besides the dying message come from his attempt to destroy his bloodstained jacketnote sometimes described as a shirt. Not only does it not burn completely, leaving a piece of bloody sleeve that matches his Limited Wardrobe, the other debris he leaves near the locked-down incinerator indicates it was turned on in a way that could only have been done by someone with his particular talent. All in all, he might have done better just stuffing it under his bed. Then, in Chapter 2, the clinching piece of evidence is Chihiro's broken e-card, which was taken from his body and found in the sauna. This leads to the question of who would have an opportunity to find out how the card could be broken, such as someone who previously went into the sauna fully dressed. | |

The Password Is Always "Swordfish": Played with.

Turned out to be subverted — the password to the headmaster's private chamber is "kyokokirigiri", but since his daughter hates him and assumed he didn't care about her, she didn't think to try it. | |

Ascended Extra: Mukuro Ikusaba ascends to protagonist status after Makoto gets severely wounded by one of the Gungnir spears. In the original game, there was a hidden "Escape Button" item that unlocks a video of everybody leaving the school.

Alas, Poor Villain | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_ac09dc0f | comment |
Alas, Poor Villain: At the end of every trial except for the last two. The culprits are treated sympathetically, and only killed because Monokuma's motivations drove them to. The later revelation that the students' memories had been tampered with, and that they all chose to stay inside the school, may or may not add to the sympathy. Mukuro Ikusaba is a retroactive example. Sure, she's one of the people behind the killing game, but it's easy to feel bad for her after it's revealed that her own sister, whom she was slavishly devoted to, killed her and gushed about how betrayed she must have felt in her last moments. Even the other students are horrified by the cruel nature of it once they find out. | |

All for Nothing: Everyone who either committed or planned a murder (except for the mastermind) did it for a reason that the final revelations of the game prove to be completely pointless. An example: Mondo snaps in the second chapter in part because of Monokuma's threat to reveal to the world that he caused his brother's death. It comes out anyway in the trial, and then it turns out the whole thing was on national television. | |

Catchphrase | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_b01abe4f | comment |
Catch-Phrase: The dub changes Makoto's "sore wa chigau yo" from a proper catch phrase to a more context-sensitive rebuttal, i.e. "I can prove you wrong," "that's where you’re wrong," "no, that wasn't the weapon", and "it's close but not quite" (etc.) There was a point the script-writers contextually could have mimicked NISA's official translation to "No, that's wrong," but Lip Lock presumably forced them to change it to "No, that’s incorrect!" | |

Loophole Abuse | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_b1dde8fd | comment |
Loophole Abuse: Monokuma's rules all have loopholes in the wording. For instance, students aren't allowed to sleep anywhere but the dorm rooms — but they also don't have to sleep in their room specifically. The 4-koma manga also points out that it is deliberately sleeping outside the dorms that is banned — being knocked unconscious is A-OK. The first chapter of the game also points this out, since Makoto had fainted and woke up in the gym. This is briefly questioned before the conclusion of the loophole is reached. Students cannot lend their IDs to other students. However, there are no rules forbidding borrowing or stealing one. In Chapter 4, Monokuma makes a new rule stating that students are not allowed to break down locked doors. However, barred doors that never had a lock in the first place are a whole different story. | |

Second Law of Metafictional Thermodynamics | |

Second Law of Metafictional Thermodynamics: Intentionally invoked: series writer Kazutaka Kodaka has said his main problem with murder mysteries was how underdeveloped the victims usually were, and so the series came to be based around a Cast of Snowflakes put through as much death and psychological trauma as possible. By the end of the game, the entire world turns out to be effectively destroyed just to make them earn their happy ending. | |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose | |

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose: Chapter 5's trial is deliberately set up to frame someone, and due to the lack of enough information as well as Monokuma's meddling, cannot be properly solved until Chapter 6. The only way to "win" it is by choosing not to expose the intended frame, Kyoko, at a critical juncture, because of which Makoto ends up taking the fall for the murder. However, Alter Ego saves him from being executed. In the Bad Ending, where Makoto does expose Kyoko, she isn't so lucky. | |

Ten Little Murder Victims: An interesting case of this. Junko Enoshima is the first mole who set up the murder game in the first place, but she operates from a distance and uses two moles through the course of the story, neither of whom kill anyone. One of them outright kills themselves while the other's publicly offed by the mastermind, and later used to frame one of the students. | |

Utsuge: There are 15 kids that are for the most part very likable and interesting characters. Since this is a killing game, the player will watch most of these teenagers be killed or kill their fellow students through either conventional murders or executions in order to survive. If the player happens to get attached to any of the doomed cast members, they will feel bad, and even if they don't, the set-ups of the cases can be rather depressing. | |

| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Despite being officially a main character behind Makoto and Kyoko, Byakuya is hardly featured. This is justified to an extent, as many of the things that defined his character in the game (such as his interactions with Toko and his decision to ally himself with the remaining students in Chapter 4) happen later in the story and thus don't happen here, but it's still notable when the death of his family —something which he has a significant breakdown over in the game — is brought up rather off-handedly in the epilogue and though he's still stated to be shocked by the revelation, the story doesn't dwell much on it. | |

Sadistic Choice | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_babc974 | comment |
Sadistic Choice: Monokuma specializes in these, the most basic of which is: Kill one of your classmates, or spend the rest of your life in captivity — and when it comes down to the trial, fess up and receive a gruesome punishment, or escape with the blood of everyone else on your hands. Sakura was presented with one as well — work as a mole for Monokuma and then violate her personal integrity and sense of morals by killing someone when Monokuma asks her to, or refuse Monokuma's demands and lose her family's dojo. She manages to get around this choice, however; see Take a Third Option. Makoto faces one in Chapter 5; expose a lie Kyoko's told, or let her lie slide. This doesn't look that sadistic until you realize that he's actually deciding either Kyoko or himself to be found guilty. Junko also offers one to the surviving students: kill her but be forced to leave for the outside world, which could very well be deadly, or sacrifice Makoto and spend the rest of their lives in peace, but only inside the Gilded Cage of the academy. | |

Undignified Death | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_be30e493 | comment |
For all the things the anime glosses over, it does expand on a few emotional scenes. Notably, the scene preceding Leon's execution is made much more gut-wrenching as Leon desperately tries to escape through the door while futilely pleading for his life, really driving the point home of how utterly terrified he is of death. Similarly, the scene before Mondo's execution in which Kiyotaka breaks down in tears and begs Monokuma not to kill him was considered somewhat narmy in the game due to how over-the-top Taka's reactions are, but the anime's more realistic rendition is truly heartbreaking. By the end of the execution, he's reduced to a blubbering mess and is even leaning over a puddle of his own tears. | |

Warm-Up Boss | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_beda4b12 | comment |
Warmup Boss: Leon is by far the easiest culprit to nail, for several reasons. The dying message left by Sayaka, "11037", is the biggest tipoff, since it's actually not a number, but Leon's name written upside down, with the crossbar of the N slightly smudged out. Although this can be considered a case of Difficulty by Region, since the clue is exactly the same in the Japanese version, and a native English speaker would pick up on the true meaning of the message much easier and quicker than a non-native speaker. | |

The game is noticeably more chaste — bar some Ho Yay, the only elements of romance are Makoto's crush on Sayaka (which only lasts about halfway into the first chapter due to the latter's death), Toko's love for Byakuya (entirely Played for Laughs), and Kyoko becoming the Implied Love Interest. Compare this to later installments, where the Ship Tease and outright romance is considerably played up, usually to tragic results. | |

| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_c32ff031 | comment |
Xanatos Gambit: Implied by the fact that Monokuma knew all along that Makoto had gotten hold of the escape switch, and thus Junko was willing to accept whatever outcome this brought upon her. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: Junko's love for yanking chains is how Mukuro knows the Escape Switch she dangles before them is real. She's deliberately creating a hope spot so she can drink in their despair when they fail. Also, on the off chance they do succeed, she can experience the despair of watching her plan fail. | |

We Can Rule Together | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_c420a553 | comment |
Chapter 6 plays on the trope — the mastermind, after being revealed, offers for the students to join them. Accepting only leads to them saying they were joking. Later on, the mastermind forces the player to pick one of three identical options, only to immediately declare the player's choice as correct before Makoto even gets the chance to respond in the game, just because they didn't want to bother waiting. | |

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_ce9da072 | comment |
Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: The trials always run smoothly enough that every student will usually have the chance to speak clearly and concisely, no matter if their characterization would imply a higher likelihood of shouting over everyone else (with things like stuttering and pauses usually being used as a sign of guilt). As heated as the discussions get, only the protagonist will actually jump into someone else's sentence, to the point that the sequel decided to include interruptions as a gameplay element in the form of rebuttal showdowns. The various "white noise," however, does seem to imply that people are talking in the background. | |

Manslaughter Provocation | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_d076bd7a | comment |
Manslaughter Provocation: Discussed during the first case: While ferreting out Leon as the murderer, it's revealed the victim, Sayaka, lured him into a trap that backfired. Once exposed, Leon tries to claim he was forced to kill Sayaka in self-defense. However, Makoto points out that after Sayaka dropped the knife and shut herself in the bathroom, Leon went back to his room unimpeded. He would have been safe if he'd stayed there and locked his door, but instead he went back to Sayaka's room after he'd fetched his tool kit, used it to break into the bathroom, and stabbed her with the knife, making it murder rather than self-defense. | |

Fair-Play Whodunnit: Usually. In most cases, Makoto can gather enough information before the trial starts to expose the culprit. However, a few cases have the murder scenes tampered with, usually by people with no involvement as victim or culprit, unfairly screwing everything up and having the player re-think the scenario. One case doesn't even get properly solved until the chapter after! Rule 10 of Knox's Decalogue (No identical twins or duplicates) is also broken. | |

Gender-Neutral Writing | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_d3a6fb9b | comment |
Gender-Neutral Writing: An inversion that may have made the second trial slightly harder occurs in the official translation. In the original, Mondo yells at Byakuya for calling Chihiro's body "a thing" using the genderless pronoun "aitsu" (commonly translated as "that kid"). Naturally, the localization team had no way to make this subtle clue more obvious without completely spoiling the trial. Though perhaps this was made up by the very next scene having Mondo unambiguously calling Chihiro "dude." | |

Red Herring: The Justice Hammers. More specifically, the numbering of the Justice Hammers, from smallest to biggest. Everyone thinks that they were used from one to four, but it's eventually discovered that the culprit used them out of order to throw everyone off. After Kyoko says Makoto is the least likely among the group to be The Mastermind and he agrees, the screen flashes back to his mysterious daydream where he tells himself that his goal is to stay in the academy. He didn't end up being The Mastermind, obviously. | |

Similarly, in episode 5 the trial skips important details about the victim's identity as a whole (in the game we find out about Chihiro's "secret" when Sakura inspects the body in front of everyone, but in the anime Kyoko finds out off-screen and then explains it in the trial). However, Genocider Syo's very dramatic trial appearance and a certain character's reactions to the trial's results and the execution that follow are expanded. | |

Male Gaze: In the final episode, there's quite a bit of focus on Junko Enoshima's breasts. They even appear to be a bit bigger than from the game. | |

Last-Name Basis | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_e28f88b8 | comment |
Last-Name Basis: The dub takes this convention even further than any other translation, with Toko calling Byakuya by his last name instead of "Byakuya-sama/Master Byakuya," Aoi occasionally switching to "Ohgami" (h-sound emphasized) and Makoto's own mother dropping "Makoto-kun" for the usual Naegi as if it were his first name. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: A few minigames in the Class Trial (Machine-Gun Talk Battle became Bullet Time Battle, Flashing Anagrams became Hangman's Gambit, and Climax Inference became Closing Statement with Climax Inference as a subtitle). Amusingly, a minor character gets a rather hilariously awesome one. Sakura's boyfriend goes from Kenichirou to... Kenshiro. Doubling as Spell My Name with an "S", NISA's translation removed the U in Kyouko and Touko's names. | |

The end of Chapter 3. After learning about it from Kyoko, Makoto finds a secret room in the boy's restroom. Before he can take a good look around, a mysterious masked man attacks him from behind, knocking him unconscious. When Makoto wakes up, he finds that the room has been cleaned out. Then, when he staggers to the gymnasium, he finds Sakura fighting Monokuma, and they have a conversation implying Sakura is The Mole. | |

Two-Teacher School: Despair Academy is suspiciously lacking in faculty — aside from Monokuma. And his idea of "teaching" is trying to get people to kill each other. The school also once had a human headmaster, though he is murdered before the game begins. The flowers on the desks in the staff room imply they were all killed as well, and the mastermind says everyone at the school died except for her class. | |

Wake-Up Call Boss: The second murderer is much harder to take down than the first was, letting players know just how easy they had it in the tutorial case. This case is far twistier than the first, since the player goes through two red herring suspects before figuring out that the crime scene location was altered to conceal the true sex of the victim. Makoto is only able to unmask the true culprit through getting him to divulge information he couldn't have known if he wasn't involved. | |

Dark Secret | |
| Dangan Ronpa (Visual Novel) / int_f909b16b | comment |
Dark Secret: One of Monokuma's motives has him pass out cards to everyone with one of their biggest secrets written on it. He claims that if someone isn't murdered before 24 hours pass, he'll reveal these to the outside world. Only four of the dark secrets are revealed: Makoto's — because he's the player character — where he used to wet the bed until 5th grade. Chihiro's dark secret comes out during the investigation; Chihiro is actually a boy wearing girl's clothing, in a misguided event to not be seen as weak. After Mondo is revealed as the culprit, Monokuma reveals Mondo's secret for him: Mondo got his own big brother Daiya killed accidentally, and spread a lie saying his big brother got himself killed. Finally, Byakuya reveals during the trial that Toko's secret is her secondary personality: Genocide Jack. | |
