[[folder:Jouya Jougasaki]]
[[WMG:Jouya Jougasaki]]
!!!Ultimate Aquarium Keeper
The older twin of Ultimate Lucky Student Jouko Jougasaki and the son of renowned marine biologist Jotaro Jougasaki, Jouya is the driving force behind the fish-oriented blog justfishythings. He owns a (jokingly) self-proclaimed 69 fish (they're actually 42), offering tips on how to raise even breeds he's never raised before and promoting awareness on the latest happenings in regards to conservation and activism. Aside from this, he's friendly and cheerful even if a little awkward, and his biggest muscle is his heart.
The last of four victims in Chapter 3, murdered by Fujio Nishida.
----
* AlliterativeName: '''Jou'''ya '''Jou'''gasaki.
* ApologizesALot: Downplayed. While he doesn't apologize every time something goes wrong, he often does take responsibility for things that aren't his fault, like when Noah unintentionally upset Yutaka over them not knowing English.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Jouko, being the older twin and all, although it extends to the others as well.
* BelatedLoveEpiphany: Realizes [[spoiler: only after his death]] that he had feelings for Noah.
* BloodIsSquickerInWater: His body discovery plays off this.
* CharacterDevelopment: After pushing aside his own worries during Chapter 1 leads to them surfacing anyway through a panic attack after the trial, he starts to be more honest about his own feelings.
** [[spoiler: Also goes through Character Development in the afterlife, although this time he works on coming to terms with the fact that it isn't his fault he died.]]
* CowardlyLion: Easily startled, hates horror, and does most of his investigating through the EID and outside the crime scene itself, but steps up in trials up to making the accusations, otherwise sticks up for his loved ones, and [[spoiler: [[DefiantToTheEnd doesn't go down without a struggle during his murder.]]]]
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Quite literally [[spoiler: turned into a doll and yeeted into a fishtank. To add insult to injury, unlike Fujio's other victims he was actually awake and alive for all of it, even if physically numb to most of the process.]]
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Partially, given that half his hair is bleached blonde… not that anyone can see that unless he takes the beanie off.
* DeusExitMachina: To an extent, during Chapter 6 — [[spoiler: having figured out the mastermind's identity, he's physically prevented by them from communicating this to the others in the afterlife until the trial. Specifically, Itsuki/Charles makes it so that he can't interact with most items in the afterlife and that every time he tries to speak a Google Translate-ish voice says [[Series/TheBigBangTheory "Bazinga."]] over it.]]
* DitzyGenius: Smart enough to figure out the larger half of the cases [[spoiler: as well as who the mastermind is]], and has a wide knowledge of fish, but he’s scatterbrained and [[ForgetfulJones forgets things easily]].
* FatalFlaw: Jouya's willingness to help others means that he has a hard time sitting and waiting [[spoiler: when the others are trying their best to find Teddy, which culminates in him following the second message he gets from [[TakingAdvantageOfGenerosity Fujio posing as Teddy]] and dying as a result.]]
* FearOfThunder: According to [[invoked]]Main/WordOfGod. Despite this, he's quite fond of rain on its own.
* FireForgedFriends: With Teddy, Hiroki, Keaton and Noah.
* HasTwoMommies: Two dads, rather.
* InSeriesNickname: Jou from a good portion from the cast, Jou-kun from Jouko and occasionally Fishbrain from Noah.
* IronicDeath: Not only does the Ultimate Aquarium Keeper [[spoiler: drown in one of the aquarium’s fish tanks]], but it’s only after [[spoiler: he’s essentially mutilated to look like a mermaid]].
* ItsAllMyFault: Lapses into this after the first two trials, given that he'd outright accused the main suspects both times.
** [[spoiler: And once again, after he dies, especially since he has to watch many of his friends struggle to cope with the events of Chapter 3 afterwards. He stops blaming himself eventually.]]
* JapaneseDelinquents: Was technically one of these in the past, but with how little he was involved with Jouko's gang and how bad he felt about it anyway it doesn't really come up.
* [[invoked]]NeutralGood
* MessyHair: Also under the beanie.
* NiceGuy: Besides being a pacifist who can't bring himself to swear, Jouya at his core just wants to help others out, to the point of initially setting aside his own feelings to do so. Indeed, he does his damn best to make his friends happy, even writing down important things about the others to remember or remind them of so he doesn't forget.
* PrecisionFStrike: Doesn't swear beyond the occasional "damn" or "hell" until Chapter 3, when [[spoiler: he finds out that Fujio murdered Teddy, Hiroki and Keaton, was almost going to kill Yutaka, and was going to kill Noah next.]]
-->'''Jouya:''' [[spoiler:[''Kicks Fujio''] You son of a ''bitch!'']]
* ShoutOut: Given how [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure his first and last name start with ''Jo'']], and how one of his fathers is a [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders marine biologist named ''Jotaro'']]...
* SleepCute: Gets into the habit of sleeping next to Noah to help with his insomnia, leading to several of these. Not only does it work, but [[spoiler: it's the fact that Noah can't even ''fall'' asleep after the events of Chapter 3 that makes them both [[LoveEpiphany realize their feelings for eachother]].]]
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Specifically reading glasses.
* TenderTears: Even during Chapter 1, where he'd gotten teary-eyed [[ProneToTears frequently]].
* ThePromise: Promises Jouko at the start of the game that he'll protect her and still look after himself. [[spoiler: Dies anyway.]]
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Although [[CreepyDoll Mr. Blood]] is a plushie that's mostly just sentient when he shouldn't be, Jouya's terrified of the thing, and has been for as long as Jouko's had him.
** He's also weak to horror in general, so his only experience in the dollhouse goes… badly, to say the least.

[[folder:Yori Kadokawa]]
[[WMG:Yori Kadokawa]]
!!!Ultimate Ryokan Host
The world-renowned host of his family’s ryokan inn, KADOKAWA’S. On the surface, he is a polite and refined boy, always minding his manners and tending to the comforts and likes of others. However, it is quickly revealed that things are far darker underneath; he is the child of a devout cultist mother and an all-too-accepting father, being raised to believe he was the vessel for their god. He is the culprit of Chapter 5, murdering Yutaka and is executed by Monokaeru after the trial, ironically being killed by the god he was meant to hold within him.
----
* AccidentalMurder: He wasn’t entirely aware of himself when he murdered Yutaka. He remembered the motive presented to them at the time and then blacked out, coming back to his senses after they were long since dead.
* AmbiguousInnocence: Because of his upbringing. He had watched countless murders and sacrifices growing up, therefore believing they were simply normal occurrences. Additionally, at first, he was quite excited about the concept of the killing game.
* {{Bishonen}}: He’s slender, pretty, and androgynous to a degree. On occasion, his face paint will mimic eyeliner and lipstick.
* BloodyHorror: His execution. It was a mock ritual, though the summoning was very real. [[spoiler: The god being summoned from within him came from his mouth, eventually blocking up his throat and then ripping apart his body when he finally got himself out.]]
* CaptainOblivious: Because of his sheltered upbringing.
* CharacterDevelopment: After a long, long process of denial, he eventually learns to trust and put his faith in the people around him.
* {{Chuunibyou}}: To a degree. He doesn’t believe he is a god himself but he does believe that he is the vessel for one.
* DarkSkinnedBlond: Though he’s not exactly blonde; he has tan skin and white hair.
* FacialMarkings: He paints various red designs on his face throughout the game. The most prominent are three pointed stripes on each of his cheeks.
* FailedASpotCheck: He had taken a bite out of Yutaka’s arm, serving as damning evidence against him when nobody else alive could or would possibly do this.
* ImplausibleHairColor: His hair is white. However, it is simply bleached. He later redyes it back to his natural black.
* LackOfEmpathy: Because to his upbringing.
* PasteEater: Sort of. He had a diet consisting of nothing but raw meat and straight-up blood. While these are technically edible, they aren’t meant to be ingested this way.
* SelectiveObliviousness: When his peers tried to get him to see that his life had, essentially, been built up on a lie and that, y’know, life shouldn’t be lived that way, he simply tuned them out.
* TattooAsCharacterType: He has eye-like tattoos on his forehead and around his neck. These tattoos are close to being a brand, signifying his role as the god’s vessel within the cult.
* ThePromise: To Noah. They promise to go hiking together when they get out.
-->'''Noah:''' I guess hiking would be fun. Try to find the fuckin' highest mountain I can around here and just... climb. See what I can see. Betcha never done that, huh, Yori-chan?
-->'''Yori:''' You climb mountains? Like a goat? Are you a goat, Noah-kun? I'm joking. No, of course I have never done such a thing. It sounds quite troublesome... but fulfilling, in a way. it would be nice to do that with you. Perhaps I will push you off the peak... I'm joking about that too.

[[folder:Hiroki Kajiwara]]
[[WMG:Hiroki Kajiwara]]
!!!Ultimate Street Racer
Don't let the edgy delinquent name and talent fool you - Hiroki is a massive goofball. A meme and pun aficionado, Hiroki's best feature is his humor, which he promptly uses to cover up everything he doesn't like about himself. That's right folks - ya boy's got crippling PTSD and self-esteem issues! Stemming from his past of being manipulated by his brother into joining a gang, Hiroki juggles a need to be a good person with debilitating anger issues and trauma.
He is the second of the four victims in Chapter Three, murdered by Fujio Nishida.
----
* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength
* TheBigGuy: 6'3" and extremely muscular.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter
* ChaoticStupid: Very socially and emotionally oblivious.
* CuteLittleFangs
* DarkIsNotEvil
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Though not natural.
* DelinquentHair: He bleaches his black hair blonde and styles it into a mess of spikes with an undercut.
* DyeHard: Dyed his hair blonde, and continues to do so, to fit in with his brother's gang.
* FaceOfAThug: Big, edgy, and tough all over. However, he quickly proves to be really nice and kind of insecure about looking this way.
* FriendlessBackground: His only real friends were violent gangsters.
* GracefulInTheirElement: Hyper-competent when it comes to mechanics and cars. Most other things... not so much.
* HadToBeSharp: Hiroki grew up in a slum and got involved in gang business from a young age. When he left, his challenges continued, with having to defend himself against his former blood brothers.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Prone to believing (or wanting to believe) that everyone is a good person until it's explicitly spelled out to him that they aren't. Even then, he forgets that easily.
* InSeriesNickname: Roki.
* JapaneseDelinquents: It seems at first that he averts this trope, with spiky bleached hair, one eye, and a red-and-black wardrobe but a goofy, laid-back personality. At least, that's until his past as one of these is revealed.
* TheKlutz
* MiseryTrigger: Very prone to spirals of self-hatred.
* MismatchedEyes: [[ThePowerOfCreation Summons]] himself a turquoise glass eye after death. This, of course, is followed up by [[ShoutOut several, *several* jokes about]] [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]].
* MoodSwinger: His goofy disposition seems to come and go at the drop of a hat.
* NoPokerFace: A notoriously bad liar and actor.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Tends to say utterly stupid things, which often lands him as the butt of everal jokes.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Subverted. Hiroki looks like a threat, but he's a good person at heart. [[TheBerserker At least, most of the time]].
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted, in the same way.
* RedIsViolent: Though the other red tropes are subverted, this one... not so much. He may be a good person but he's also prone to blind anger and violence.
* SecurityCling: Frequently seen linking pinkies with his friend and later boyfriend, Keaton.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Though Hiroki is often more than ready to protect his friends and deal with the intense happenings of the killing game, he's [[NoSocialSkills very socially oblivious]].
* SoreLoser: By WordOfGod.
* SpikyHair
* TattooedCrook: Under all his clothes.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: A major part of his backstory.
* TraumaButton: Despite his violent nature, very opposed to the idea of violence. Very.
* WretchedHive: Grew up in the slums of Kamagasaki, Japan.

[[folder:Yutaka Kodama]]
[[WMG:Yutaka Kodama]]
!!!Ultimate Prank Youtuber
Yes, they’re not even 3 feet tall. Yes, they have the intelligence and maturity of a toddler. No, they are not ‘baby’, as they would say. Yutaka Kodama’s Twitter bio would likely say ‘lost the game’. Yu simply tries their best to make others smile, something they found increasingly hard to do with each murder. They’re inseparable from their eventual significant other, Kenma Hejira. Chapter 5 victim, murdered by Yori Kadokawa.
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Yutaka attacked Yori first, under the pretense that if they got away with murder they would be able to change something in the past. Yutaka was apologetic about it to their end.
* BloodyHorror: Yutaka became the new Flat Stanley. Being beaten with a meat tenderizer will do that to you.
* ABloodyMess: Yutaka and Kenma Hejira orchestrated a prank in which Yutaka pretended to be dead, with paint used for ‘blood’.
* BookDumb
* ClearTheirName: Kenma framed themself for the murder of Park Jisung, though Yutaka believed for purely emotional reasons that Kenma didn’t commit the murder. They put their best effort into defending Kenma during the trial.
* ClosedDoorRapport: After Meili Yang’s execution, Yutaka tried their best to comfort Kenma by passing notes from under Kenma’s door due to the fact that Kenma didn’t want to see anyone.
* CreepyCemetery: Yutaka's place of death.
* DeathWail: Upon finding Kenma's dead body.
* TheDividual: Yutaka and Kenma are rarely seen apart. There was a span of several days where they were absolutely constantly holding hands.
* HasTwoMommies
* HotBlooded
* FaceDoodling: A prank pulled on Yori Kadokawa.
* FriendlessBackground
* LastKiss: Yutaka and Kenma finally agree to be significant others after far too long of romantic interaction, have a really sweet kiss, and then [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Kenma is murdered in the middle of that night]].
* LonelyTogether: Both Yutaka and Kenma had very lonely childhoods, and stuck together when they kept losing friends to the killing game.
* LordErrorProne
* OppositesAttract: Yutaka is loud and causes chaos in an attempt to make people laugh, while Kenma is mute and causes chaos for their own satisfaction.
* PleaseWakeUp: Happened as they were faced with Kenma’s death.
* ThePrankster: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It's their talent]].
* ThePromise: Yutaka promises Kenma that they will go home together, giving Kenma a better life and a chance to become a better person.
* SmartJerkAndNiceMoron: Though Kenma’s bullying is playful, the trope explains their relationship well.
* TalkingToTheDead: After each death (save a few they deemed undeserving), Yutaka made makeshift graves for the person, speaking their thoughts directed towards the dead as they did so. They also had several monologues speaking to Hiroki Kajiwara and Kenma.
* TraumaButton: If Yutaka cannot fulfill something they are asked to, they will promptly panic over it. They also panic over crunching sounds, eggs, and ‘get lost, cracker bones’ after the game.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: While not a video game, Yu did get murdered for hitting Yori just twice.

[[folder:Avalon Whitworth]]
[[WMG:Avalon Whitworth]]
!!!Ultimate Doomsday Prepper
[blurb]
----
* ApologizesALot: In Chapter 4 in particular.
* BigOlEyebrows
* BlindObedience: She literally never learned what critical thinking is. This is taken to the extreme of happily accepting her killing game situation. At least, she starts out like this.
* CrazySurvivalist: Her cult, including herself.
* FieryRedhead: Grows into one of these.
* GasMaskLongcoat: Related to her talent.
* MeaningfulEcho: ''Whoosh''. It's used as her transition message as an apparent reference to the [[Website/{{Reddit}} Subreddit]], up until Chapter Three's trial, when it's used as a sound effect for when Avalon lets the air out of her air tanks in a WhamLine.
* MessyHair: It's contained by grease and a topknot, and somehow, it's still all over the place.
* NothingButSkinAndBones: Due to her cult upbringing. Anything to eat that isn't from a can is a rare luxury down there. At one point, Avalon takes her gloves off to type on her eID, and Keaton is surprised at just how [[FunSize small]] her hands are.
* PickyEater: Hates baked beans.
* ThePigPen: Literally doesn't know what a shower is until the killing game.
* PostApocalypticGasmask: She wears it because she genuinely believes that the air is toxic and that it is the apocalypse.
* RedheadInGreen: Wears a drab green coat over everything.
* TheRemnant: Vows to kill Monokaeru and end the killing game... at the end of the final trial, where the only person she's sparing would be the mastermind.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: Tries to end the killing game... by going full feral and bashing Monokaeru in with a chair.
** A similar incident occurred in Chapter Three, where she gets so fed up with Fujio's religious spiel that she takes off her air tanks and uses them to ''bash his face in''.
*** Even more extreme and amazing when you realize ''she needs those to breathe'' and went on to have breathing problems for it.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Once she learns what a shower is, she is rather lovely and figures out some of how to put herself together.
* TheShutin: Due to her cult upbringing, Avalon has literally never seen sunlight before the killing game.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead
* SuperGullible: Due to her cult upbringing.
* SorryThatImDying: Sorry that I [[spoiler:tried to stab myself]].
* WhamLine: When she vows to end the killing game.
-->''Well, if the fire wants to consume her...''
-->''(Rattle. The mask hits the ground.)''
-->''Then let her burn.''
** Chapter Three also has a wham line of sorts from her. Just before using her air tanks as a weapon, she lets the air out with a resounding ''whoosh''.

!! Danganronpa V2: Visceral Rift contains these tropes:
* PlayingCardMotifs: Each participant has a card out of the standard international deck. The different suits enable the participants to cast different magical spells. Furthermore, the mastermind is noted as having the Joker card, and the traitor working alongside him has a Jack, while everyone else has cards up to 10.
* SurprisinglyHappyEnding: It is revealed that the game was a simulation, and none of the dead are truly dead.
* ToAbsentFriends: After Chapter 3, The Cup Song becomes a motif to honor the deaths of the Chapter 3 victims. Several other coping and mourning techniques are used, but this is the most prevalent.
* WhamEpisode:
** Chapter 3: Holy fucking shit!
*** First of all, the fact that there are [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill four victims at all]] (technically 6, counting Niji and Lucifer); all of them are murdered brutally and turned into literal ''dolls'' by the same person, who in fact happens to be the traitor working alongside the mastermind.
*** The kills themselves start and finish before Monokaeru even distributes motives, so the chapter starts off with Teddy missing in action with only a mess in the kitchen and a carton of drugged milk to tip people off on where he might have gone... until the next day, anyway, where everyone else is awoken by [[DeathWail Noah screaming in anguish]] instead of the usual morning announcement and is left with 4 bodies to investigate.
*** The trial itself is a lot to take in, even with everyone having been suspicious of Fujio already; specifically he proceeds to go on a religious spiel after being revealed, leading to Avalon all but ''bashing his face in'' with one of her air tanks.
*** Jonah himself executes Fujio instead of Monokaeru, revealing himself as the Ultimate Catastrophe as he does so.
* WhenImGoneSong: The Cup Song becomes a bit of a motif of the Chapter 3 victims both before and after death.

* PasteEater: Sort of. He had a diet consisting of nothing but raw meat and straight-up blood. While these are technically edible, they aren’t meant to be ingested this way.
* SelectiveObliviousness: When his peers tried to get him to see that his life had, essentially, been built up on a lie and that, y’know, life shouldn’t be lived that way, he simply tuned them out.
* TattooAsCharacterType: He has eye-like tattoos on his forehead and around his neck. These tattoos are close to being a brand, signifying his role as the god’s vessel within the cult.
* ThePromise: To Noah. They promise to go hiking together when they get out.
-->'''Noah:''' I guess hiking would be fun. Try to find the fuckin' highest mountain I can around here and just... climb. See what I can see. Betcha never done that, huh, Yori-chan?
-->'''Yori:''' You climb mountains? Like a goat? Are you a goat, Noah-kun? I'm joking. No, of course I have never done such a thing. It sounds quite troublesome... but fulfilling, in a way. it would be nice to do that with you. Perhaps I will push you off the peak... I'm joking about that too.

[[folder:Hiroki Kajiwara]]
[[WMG:Hiroki Kajiwara]]
!!!Ultimate Street Racer
Don't let the edgy delinquent name and talent fool you - Hiroki is a massive goofball. A meme and pun aficionado, Hiroki's best feature is his humor, which he promptly uses to cover up everything he doesn't like about himself. That's right folks - ya boy's got crippling PTSD and self-esteem issues! Stemming from his past of being manipulated by his brother into joining a gang, Hiroki juggles a need to be a good person with debilitating anger issues and trauma.
He is the second of the four victims in Chapter Three, murdered by Fujio Nishida.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter
* ChaoticStupid: Very socially and emotionally oblivious.
* CuteLittleFangs
* DarkIsNotEvil
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Though not natural.
* DelinquentHair: He bleaches his black hair blonde and styles it into a mess of spikes with an undercut.
* DyeHard: Dyed his hair blonde, and continues to do so, to fit in with his brother's gang.
* FaceOfAThug: Big, edgy, and tough all over. However, he quickly proves to be really nice and kind of insecure about looking this way.
* FriendlessBackground: His only real friends were violent gangsters.
* GracefulInTheirElement: Hyper-competent when it comes to mechanics and cars. Most other things... not so much.
* HadToBeSharp: Hiroki grew up in a slum and got involved in gang business from a young age. When he left, his challenges continued, with having to defend himself against his former blood brothers.
* HandwrapsOfAwesome
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Prone to believing (or wanting to believe) that everyone is a good person until it's explicitly spelled out to him that they aren't. Even then, he forgets that easily.
* InSeriesNickname: Roki.
* JapaneseDelinquents: It seems at first that he averts this trope, with spiky bleached hair, one eye, and a red-and-black wardrobe but a goofy, laid-back personality. At least, that's until his past as one of these is revealed.
* TheKlutz
* MiseryTrigger: Very prone to spirals of self-hatred.
* MismatchedEyes: [[ThePowerOfCreation Summons]] himself a turquoise glass eye after death. This, of course, is followed up by [[ShoutOut several, *several* jokes about]] [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Sans]].

* NoPokerFace: A notoriously bad liar and actor.
* OpenMouthInsertFoot: Tends to say utterly stupid things, which often lands him as the butt of everal jokes.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Subverted, in the same way.

* SecurityCling: Frequently seen linking pinkies with his friend and later boyfriend, Keaton.
* SociallyAwkwardHero: Though Hiroki is often more than ready to protect his friends and deal with the intense happenings of the killing game, he's [[NoSocialSkills very socially oblivious]].

* ToxicFriendInfluence: A major part of his backstory.
* TraumaButton: Despite his violent nature, very opposed to the idea of violence. Very.

[[folder:Yutaka Kodama]]
[[WMG:Yutaka Kodama]]
!!!Ultimate Prank Youtuber
Yes, they’re not even 3 feet tall. Yes, they have the intelligence and maturity of a toddler. No, they are not ‘baby’, as they would say. Yutaka Kodama’s Twitter bio would likely say ‘lost the game’. Yu simply tries their best to make others smile, something they found increasingly hard to do with each murder. They’re inseparable from their eventual significant other, Kenma Hejira. Chapter 5 victim, murdered by Yori Kadokawa.
----
* ApologeticAttacker: Yutaka attacked Yori first, under the pretense that if they got away with murder they would be able to change something in the past. Yutaka was apologetic about it to their end.
* BloodyHorror: Yutaka became the new Flat Stanley. Being beaten with a meat tenderizer will do that to you.
* ABloodyMess: Yutaka and Kenma Hejira orchestrated a prank in which Yutaka pretended to be dead, with paint used for ‘blood’.
* BookDumb
* ClearTheirName: Kenma framed themself for the murder of Park Jisung, though Yutaka believed for purely emotional reasons that Kenma didn’t commit the murder. They put their best effort into defending Kenma during the trial.
* ClosedDoorRapport: After Meili Yang’s execution, Yutaka tried their best to comfort Kenma by passing notes from under Kenma’s door due to the fact that Kenma didn’t want to see anyone.
* CreepyCemetery: Yutaka's place of death.
* DeathWail: Upon finding Kenma's dead body.
* TheDividual: Yutaka and Kenma are rarely seen apart. There was a span of several days where they were absolutely constantly holding hands.
* HasTwoMommies
* HotBlooded
* FaceDoodling: A prank pulled on Yori Kadokawa.
* FriendlessBackground
* LastKiss: Yutaka and Kenma finally agree to be significant others after far too long of romantic interaction, have a really sweet kiss, and then [[BreadEggsMilkSquick Kenma is murdered in the middle of that night]].
* LonelyTogether: Both Yutaka and Kenma had very lonely childhoods, and stuck together when they kept losing friends to the killing game.
* LordErrorProne
* OppositesAttract: Yutaka is loud and causes chaos in an attempt to make people laugh, while Kenma is mute and causes chaos for their own satisfaction.
* PleaseWakeUp: Happened as they were faced with Kenma’s death.
* ThePrankster: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin It's their talent]].
* ThePromise: Yutaka promises Kenma that they will go home together, giving Kenma a better life and a chance to become a better person.
* SmartJerkAndNiceMoron: Though Kenma’s bullying is playful, the trope explains their relationship well.
* TalkingToTheDead: After each death (save a few they deemed undeserving), Yutaka made makeshift graves for the person, speaking their thoughts directed towards the dead as they did so. They also had several monologues speaking to Hiroki Kajiwara and Kenma.
* TraumaButton: If Yutaka cannot fulfill something they are asked to, they will promptly panic over it. They also panic over crunching sounds, eggs, and ‘get lost, cracker bones’ after the game.
* VideoGameCrueltyPunishment: While not a video game, Yu did get murdered for hitting Yori just twice.

[[WMG:Avalon Whitworth]]
!!!Ultimate Doomsday Prepper
[blurb]
----
* ApologizesALot: In Chapter 4 in particular.
* BigOlEyebrows
* BlindObedience: She literally never learned what critical thinking is. This is taken to the extreme of happily accepting her killing game situation. At least, she starts out like this.
* CrazySurvivalist: Her cult, including herself.
* FieryRedhead: Grows into one of these.
* GasMaskLongcoat: Related to her talent.
* MeaningfulEcho: ''Whoosh''. It's used as her transition message as an apparent reference to the [[Website/{{Reddit}} Subreddit]], up until Chapter Three's trial, when it's used as a sound effect for when Avalon lets the air out of her air tanks in a WhamLine.
* MessyHair: It's contained by grease and a topknot, and somehow, it's still all over the place.
* NothingButSkinAndBones: Due to her cult upbringing. Anything to eat that isn't from a can is a rare luxury down there. At one point, Avalon takes her gloves off to type on her eID, and Keaton is surprised at just how [[FunSize small]] her hands are.
* PickyEater: Hates baked beans.
* ThePigPen: Literally doesn't know what a shower is until the killing game.
* PostApocalypticGasmask: She wears it because she genuinely believes that the air is toxic and that it is the apocalypse.
* RedheadInGreen: Wears a drab green coat over everything.
* TheRemnant: Vows to kill Monokaeru and end the killing game... at the end of the final trial, where the only person she's sparing would be the mastermind.
* TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized: Tries to end the killing game... by going full feral and bashing Monokaeru in with a chair.
** A similar incident occurred in Chapter Three, where she gets so fed up with Fujio's religious spiel that she takes off her air tanks and uses them to ''bash his face in''.
*** Even more extreme and amazing when you realize ''she needs those to breathe'' and went on to have breathing problems for it.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Once she learns what a shower is, she is rather lovely and figures out some of how to put herself together.
* TheShutin: Due to her cult upbringing, Avalon has literally never seen sunlight before the killing game.
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead
* SuperGullible: Due to her cult upbringing.
* SorryThatImDying: Sorry that I [[spoiler:tried to stab myself]].
* WhamLine: When she vows to end the killing game.
-->''Well, if the fire wants to consume her...''
-->''(Rattle. The mask hits the ground.)''
-->''Then let her burn.''
** Chapter Three also has a wham line of sorts from her. Just before using her air tanks as a weapon, she lets the air out with a resounding ''whoosh''.

!! Danganronpa V2: Visceral Rift contains these tropes:
* PlayingCardMotifs: Each participant has a card out of the standard international deck. The different suits enable the participants to cast different magical spells. Furthermore, the mastermind is noted as having the Joker card, and the traitor working alongside him has a Jack, while everyone else has cards up to 10.
* SurprisinglyHappyEnding: It is revealed that the game was a simulation, and none of the dead are truly dead.
* ToAbsentFriends: After Chapter 3, The Cup Song becomes a motif to honor the deaths of the Chapter 3 victims. Several other coping and mourning techniques are used, but this is the most prevalent.
* WhamEpisode:
** Chapter 3: Holy fucking shit!
*** First of all, the fact that there are [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill four victims at all]] (technically 6, counting Niji and Lucifer); all of them are murdered brutally and turned into literal ''dolls'' by the same person, who in fact happens to be the traitor working alongside the mastermind.
*** The kills themselves start and finish before Monokaeru even distributes motives, so the chapter starts off with Teddy missing in action with only a mess in the kitchen and a carton of drugged milk to tip people off on where he might have gone... until the next day, anyway, where everyone else is awoken by [[DeathWail Noah screaming in anguish]] instead of the usual morning announcement and is left with 4 bodies to investigate.
*** The trial itself is a lot to take in, even with everyone having been suspicious of Fujio already; specifically he proceeds to go on a religious spiel after being revealed, leading to Avalon all but ''bashing his face in'' with one of her air tanks.
*** Jonah himself executes Fujio instead of Monokaeru, revealing himself as the Ultimate Catastrophe as he does so.
* WhenImGoneSong: The Cup Song becomes a bit of a motif of the Chapter 3 victims both before and after death.
