History Characters / Danganronpa3FutureArc

* MeaningfulName: Juzo means "thirteen," while Sakakura is broken down into "oppose" and "storage"

** To an extent she's also a foil to Hiyioko Saionji. Both are self centred and extremely snarky fake cuties who are secretly extremely lonely and have a lot of self loathing and trust issues. However the difference lies in how they treated their best friend. Ruruka never trusted Seiko, began to resent her and eventually threw her under the bus and was indifferent after her death. In contrast Hiyoko adored and trusted Mahiru and was utterly broken when Mahiru died, Hiyoko was also fiercely loyal to Mahiru and looked up to her whereas Seiko was actively jealous of Seiko.

* CreepyMonotone

* KickTheSonOfABitch: If her attempts to kill Ruruka is an indication.

* KickTheSonOfABitch:
** Sakakura being violent or threatening others is usually referred to as his jackass side flaring up again. But when he attempted to get out of the building, Ruruka freaks out that it'll activate her NG Code, and since Ruruka was just revealed as being completely nasty, it was kind of easy to cheer on Sakakura in his attempt at 'threatening' Ruruka.
** ''Side:Despair'' episode 10 subverts this. Junko blackmails him into betraying Munakata by using his secret love for Munakata and worse, she did that while he was on the floor, with the brainwashed students laughing at him and her stomping on his face and forcing him to beg. Normally, he'd be in the straightforward 'receiving end of this'. The subversion is that at this point, Sakakura has been more humanized while Junko has shown a lot more remorseless atrocities by herself which means it can end up as a KickTheDog for Junko instead.

* EvilTeacher: Brainwashed-by-Junko teacher. She is the homeroom teacher for Class 77th in ''Side:Despair'', but after she's brainwashed, she becomes an unwitting servant to Junko Enoshima's goal to spread despair, and, as a result, is responsible for a ''lot'' of the tragedy that occurs throughout the anime. This includes things like tricking her class into becoming Ultimate Despair like Junko wanted (by sending Chiaki into Junko's execution), and also providing [[EvilOldFolks Kazuo Tengan]] the means to create the Final Killing Game in ''Side:Future''.

** Also to Chiaki. Both are cute, pink-haired girls who have [[HeroicSelfDeprecation low opinions of their talents]] and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends want friends]]. However, Chiaki is taught that talent isn’t all that matters, and comes out of her shell to forge strong relationship; Ruruka keeps believing her talent is all she has to give, developing a [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex complex]] of bitter anxiety when people don't eat them that ultimately destroys her relationships. They lie on opposite ends of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism, with Chiaki being optimistic [[FatalFlaw to a fault]] and Ruruka paranoid [[FatalFlaw to a fault]]. Finally, Ruruka's paranoia ensures she [[ForgottenFallenFriend dies alone and unmourned]], while Chiaki is still remembered fondly by Hajime/Izuru and Class 77.

* RedHerring: As the only member of Class 77 to avoid falling into despair (aside from Chiaki), fans were immediately suspicious of him. The suspicion only increased as the Despair arc revealed his meeting with Junko and his role in the Tragedy. He's not the mastermind, but the trope is zig-zagged as he unknowingly had an important role to play in the actual mastermind's plans, and he serves as the "final boss" of the series after the AwfulTruth causes him to snap.

* TrappedInVillainy: To a degree. The bitchiness and paranoia were there long before the killing game, but her and Izayoi's Forbidden Actions are basically designed to drive her from just being an upleasant girl into true villainy, forcing her to act as an antagonist and exacerbating her paranoia to truly insane levels.

* WouldHitAGirl:
** Threatens to physically assault Aoi after beating up Makoto and is only stopped when The Great Gozu threatens him. He almost does it ''again'' in episode 2, but chooses to hit Mitarai instead. In Episodes 3 and 4, he resorts to throwing a chair just to get a hit on Kyoko and then later on, he kicks Miaya. Remember, as far as Juzo knows Miaya is a disabled girl, although he was about to be shot with multiple heavy arms weaponry so that occasion came off as self-defense.
** In episode 8, he is completely OK with killing Ando and Kirigiri and seems to have attacked both of them offscreen. He tries then to open the door to the exit stating that he does not care if Ando dies because of it.
** In side: Despair episode 9, he admits he has no problem hitting a girl, as he is about to fend Junko off. This comes back to [[DeconstructedTrope completely bite him in the ass]], since going to apprehend Junko played right into her hands, ''and'' he got a nasty HumiliationConga to boot.

* RunningGag: For the [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc third]] [[VideoGame/UltraDespairGirls time]], his crystal ball gets broken.

* RecurringElement: [[Literature/DanganronpaZero Yet]] [[VideoGame/UltraDespairGirls another]] BrokenAce driven by his love for a girl. Said girl also happens to be despair.

* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Retroactively, that is. As it turns out she was a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] [[ReligionOfEvil Ultimate Despair]] member prior to joining the Future Foundation and participating in the Final Killing Game, she dies as the first victim before she even gets a chance to redeem herself or revert the brainwashing. Especially since she's the one who aided Junko in sending Chiaki to her doom in ''Despair Arc''.

** Her friendship with Seiko started out innocently enough, with Seiko happily willing to let herself be depended on and Ruruka happily willing to oblige. However, a number of factors - mostly coming from [[FatalFlaw Ruruka's]] [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex end]] - saw this degenerating into a relationship where Ruruka constantly used and took advantage of Seiko's generosity. By Episode 4 of Side:Despair, it's heavily implied that her relationship with Kimura was much more beneficial for Ruruka in the long run.

** Also to Chiaki. Both are cute, pink-haired girls who have [[HeroicSelfDeprecation low opinions of their talents]] [[IJustWantToHaveFriends and want friends]]. However, Chiaki is taught that talent isn’t all that matters, and comes out of her shell to forge strong relationship; Ruruka keeps believing her talent is all she has to give, developing a [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex complex]] of bitter anxiety when people don't eat them that ultimately destroys her relationships. They lie on opposite ends of the SlidingScaleOfIdealismVsCynicism, with Chiaki being optimistic [[FatalFlaw to a fault]] and Ruruka paranoid [[FatalFlaw to a fault]]. Finally, Ruruka's paranoia ensures she [[ForgottenFallenFriend dies alone and unmourned]], while Chiaki is still remembered fondly by Hajime/Izuru and Class 77.

* LovingAShadow: Turns out the Yukizome he was in love with was long gone by ''Side:Future''.

* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: In ''Side:Despair'' (when she isn't a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed]] BitchInSheepsClothing), she is unambiguously a NiceGirl who wants people to succeed, and has no ill will, aside from an implied bias against the Reserve Course. [[BigBadDuumvirate Junko and Mukuro]] convert her and her class into an UnwittingPawn for an ApocalypseCult and they all end up serving as the series-wide [[GreaterScopeVillain Greater-Scope Villains]], with Chisa evading rehabilitation and dying as her Ultimate Despair persona while the Remnants of Despair reform on their own terms.

* MeaningfulName: Juzo means "thirteen," while Sakakura is broken down into “oppose” and “storage”

* TooDumbToLive: It's a miracle they ever managed to resist Junko in the first place, as they start trying to kill eachother given only the slightest provocation; Ando and Izayoi get into it with Kimura and Ando ends up killing Izayoi, while Munakata spends most of the series trying to kill Makoto. Though it certainly couldn't have helped that one of them was TheMole for Ultimate Despair.

* TragicVillain: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] as she's still an utter {{jerkass}} as usual, but since she was defeated in ''Ultra Despair Girls'', she has absolutely no purpose in life and does things purely out of boredom or to pass the time (rather than to serve [[DarkMessiah "Big Sis Junko"]]), and she no longer follows ''either'' of her former idols [[BlackAndGrayMorality Junko and Nagito]]. Actually, she's so lost at this point that she willingly became a {{NEET}} just to escape from Nagito's attempts to raise her, and doesn't even take pleasure in the battle between hope vs. despair, [[WildCard merely doing her own thing]].

* VillainDecay: Ultimately ends up being little more than a DiscOneFinalBoss. She even invokes it herself when discussing how she has no desire to become as crazy as Nagito, which by extension means she can't be like Junko either, who is even ''more'' crazy, so her villainous career is pretty much stuck. Her one truly evil act in the show is killing Miaya (which she may or may not have done on her own), and when confronted by Komaru and Toko, she just gives up and flees.

* TooDumbToLive: It's a miracle they ever managed to resist Junko in the first place, as they start trying to kill eachother given only the slightest provocation; Ando and Izayoi get into it with Kimura and Ando ends up killing Izayoi, while Munakata spends most of the series trying to kill Makoto.

* ComplexityAddiction: See GambitRoulette. His plan to brainwash humanity depends on many variables, such as Mitarai surviving the killing game without his talent, the killing game not ending early, etc. Not to mention that setting up an entire killing game and constructing an underground building is overkill just to get a brainwashing video broadcasted.

* KarmaHoudini: She is the BigBad of ''Ultra Despair Girls'' and not only receives no comeuppance for her multiple crimes and murders, including the fairly recent KillAndReplace she (maybe) pulled on Miaya, but is outright shown to be doing just fine at the end of the series.

* ThreeAmigos: The picture on Yukizome's desk in the first episode of ''Side:Despair'' strongly suggests that Yukizome, Sakakura and him were this.

* ThreeAmigos: The picture on her desk in the first episode of ''Side:Despair'' strongly suggests that Sakakura, Munakata and her were this.

* ThreeAmigos: The picture on Yukizome's desk in the first episode of ''Side:Despair'' strongly suggests that Yukizome, Munakata and him were this.

* BigBad: By the end of the Side:Future arc, it's shown that Tengan intended to eradicate most of the Future Foundation to serve his own agenda.
