because why not !! SPOILERS FOR: ALL DANGANRONPA GAMES, DANGANRONPA ZERO, PRETTY MUCH THE WHOLE ANIME !! no jin kirigiri because this is mostly me just explaining them badly + side comments lol 1. makoto naegi - EGG - canon plot armor so the devs can't make excuses as to why he survives (plus alter ego helped a bit ig) - average protagonist material LOL - the og ahoge haha - imagine having to share being a protag in a game series with your lil sister haha couldn't be me - imagine being trapped in a killing game and being the protag haha couldn't be me 2. kyoko kirigiri - haha dead dad + (insert her entire lore with her dad here I'm too lazy) imagine - has white hair despite being like. under 20 - ultimate detective so she can lowk carry in trials take THAT makoto - only danganronpa character to have their execution turn into an online meme lolz - she's actually smart so I don't have much to say 3. sayaka maizono - everyone calls her the first to die but she's actually the 3rd jin kirigiri and mukuro died before her - childhood friends with makoto and would have been his gf but too bad she died L bozo (kyoko is just better like that) - 1st danganronpa character to have a CHURCH dedicated to her somehow - Imagine trying to kill a dude but dying instead couldn't be me - honestly I get why she killed leon so guys let's stop calling her a snake this is danganronpa bro anyone can kill if they have a good enough motive (like sayaka ig) look at gundham 4. leon kuwata - 11037 HAHA - "aho" x 100 - Leon - imagine being the first person jpop idol lady decides to try kill haha L bozo - has probably never commited a crime before the killing game he SUCKS at cleaning up crime scenes - turned into a walking meme the moment he died in chapter 1 - bro saw sayaka trying to kill him, at first defended himself, then said "hey, what if I just kill her instead so she doesn't try again later???" it backfired on him so bad oml - imagine wanting to be a musician and hating baseball then dying due to a ultimate music related talent person 5. chihiro fukisaki - FEMBOY - short ahh :heartbreak: - actually plot relevant unlike most ch 2 victims/killers which is crazyy - made an AI clanker bot which saved makoto's ahh - singlehandedly caused half the fandom to argue on what pronouns to refer him by due to the nature of his lore (like. guys this is a fictional character) - again chihiro's cool n stuff so he doesn't get roasted too bad 6. mondo owada - is butter (rip) - hair looks like a dorito/tempura/whatever we should murder his barber - fuyuhiko kuzuryu wannabe (he has a biker gang and not a real gang) - haha dead brother (rip mondo's brother I forgot his name) - decided to murder our favorite femboy because chihiro was too good haha L - chihiro, leon, and mondo were lowk a trio but they all died by chapter 2 so the devs compensated us with the dr2 and dr3 trios where 2 trio members survive til the end and the last dies later in the story... they were the stepping stone ig bro 7. hifumi yamada - kinda freaky - imagine being manipulated into killing a guy then getting killed by your manipulator haha L - someone gotta retranslate that english title that doesn't suit him and isn't accurate to his japanese title bro he doesn't write fanfics he makes fancomics - honestly would have been much less hated if he was conventionally attractive but too bad man (he's much better than like. miu) - doesn't approve of (what celeste accused taka of) so huge w to him ig 8. kiyotaka ishimaru - gay for mondo (trust) but mondo got butterfied then he got depression. then alter ego, chihiro's clanker, imitated mondo and bro got inspired to the point where his hair turned white and he started acting like mondo but also himself it's complicated - then he died like half a chapter later bro we needed more kiyondo content devs - "ultimate moral compass" but he's actually a hall monitor - his secret was probably "taka ran in the halls when he was 5" or smth like that - got accused of doing some really nasty stuff to celestia by celestia but actually didn't - his grandpa used to be prime minister but stuff happened and now his family kinda sucks (this is why kirumi tojo is better) so he wants to be prime minister now but too bad he's dead - he's too religious in the english version someone please save me - petition for this guy to kill someone for the most unreasonable + morally wrong reason and have no remorse. big L on ultimate moral compass - NEVER swore in thh (the english version at least) wow - has the funniest memes out of everyone here - honestly very funny character in general. I'm mad at spike for killing him off at ch3 this is why I hate ch3 (cont. in n+c)
9. celestia ludenberg - her lore is that she was japanese but hated japan and wanted to be a rich european lady with a castle and servants that she could simp for - wanted that castle so bad that when monokuma offered money for killing someone and getting away for it she said "yes" - taeko yasuhiro taeko yasuhiro taeko yasuhiro haha - her hair is the kasane teto hair on steroids - was having fun dying in her execution because it was regal and "fit for a queen" but then the firetruck came by womp womp - accused the goat taka of doing some really bad things to her to get hifumi to kill him then she killed hifumi (hey celestia you only needed to kill one person for your cash :heartbreak:) - I don't think she's getting along with kirumi tojo prime minister of japan in-game guys 10. sakura ogami - the GOAT (spike I'm also mad that you killed her off I know it was necessary for plot but couldn't you have made aoi the mole instead idk) - buff lady (yayy) - can beat everyone here (and maybe everyone in the entire trilogy) in a fistfight - used to have this boyfriend rival idk named kenshiro but he got hit with the danganronpa v2 terminal illness beam LOL - did a certain deed I cannot speak of and monokuma pretended that someone legit killed her bro... she tried to make it easier for everyone but monokuma ruined that imagine - was unwillingly a mole for monokuma bro imagine haha L - 11. aoi asahina - can swim because she's the ultimate swimmer duh - hair defies gravity (she's not the only one in this trilogy though lol) - got tricked by monokuma about sakura's ykwhat and decided to try and avenge sakura by murdering everyone still alive but failed rip (hey at least she had a decent reason) - too obsessed with doughnuts she's gonna eat all the remaining ones in the world someone please help 12. toko fukawa - I think she's supposed to have DID but the representation is kinda eh so let's say she has unknown fictional disorder instead - has the highest kill count in this list for non-ultimate despair - has like another form called genocide jack that just possesses her when she sneezes n stuff (genocide jack is so peak bro) who like kills dudes for fun - byakuya simp (idk how but yeah) but too bad he tampered with mondo's killing of chihiro and made it look like she did it so toko stop simping maybe??? - kinda eh in THH but pretty much the only thing UDG did right was making her the goat (and having nagito in it) - is my favorite character here shh don't tell anyone 13. yasuhiro hagakure - in EVERY game demo there's a scene of him dead but those are never canon so idk, do what you want with that - Hair also defies gravity - Has like less plot relevance than every other danganronpa character, somehow - his biggest contribution was saying "kyoko is a ghost" but then that wasn't true so massive L - ultimate clairvoyant so he can see the future but it only has a 30% chance of being correct but apparently that's like the highest ever. peak talent you can scam people - owes like a LOT of money (I forgor how much) to fuyuhiko kuzuryu because he's a loser (rip) 14. byakuya togami - rich - used to have siblings but his parents pitted them all against each other and he was the victor so his parents kicked the rest out - antagonist (wow) - toko simps for him idk why - likes money ig - has a superfan named the ultimate imposter but we'll get to them in the next edition - decided to be the "ultimate affluent progeny" to make everyone search it up on google + he doesn't want to simply be ultimate rich kid apparently - too good to wear a school uniform apparently (there are others here + literally nobody in v2-v3 are wearing those either but shh) - somehow survives unlike our other resident antagonists nagito and kokichi - unlike the other antagonists he didn't even really have a good reason he just wanted to BRO - grinded really hard on leg day to gain those crazy leg to body proportions 15. mukuro ikusaba - the second death (after jin kirigiri) - got killed by her own sister because her sister liked despair too much LOL haha L this is what you get for trusting your sister - ultimate soldier but we don't get to see too much of that pretty much the only instance where that is really elaborated is in despair arc with her fighting peko - her fans must really love danganronpa IF aka the AU where she survives and gets character development - oh yeah she was disguised as her sister while getting killed so - her sister is her twin btw - #JusticeForMukuro 16. junko enoshima - inside the project bc scratch word limit ok holy yap bye (monokuma also doesn't have rights to appear) making one for each game btw
