History Fanfic / DanganronpaTheImmersiveLearningProgram

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:After Nekomaru is found guilty in the third trial, he does not give into despair and lunges straight at Monokuma, and chases the bear out of the trial room intending to throttle him. This actually prevents Monokuma from saying his usual {{catchphrase}} and he keeps chasing Monokuma until he is led to his own execution.]]

** In the second game, Kazuichi had an obsessive crush on Sonia, who viewed him as an AbhorrentAdmirer. In the Immersive Learning Program, Kaito's mentoring helped Kazuichi develop a positive relationship with Sonia, enough that [[spoiler:she frames Korekiyo's death as a suicide after Kazuichi [[AccidentalMurder unintentionally kills him]] when he thought he was going to kill Sonia with his death trap. Kazuichi's Motive Video later reveals that during his time at Hope's Peak, his crush on Sonia settled down enough that he views her as his [[PlatonicLifePartner best friend]] rather than a potential love interest]].

It's also implied that Kaede, the protagonist of the previous story was killed as well having been failed to be rescued by Shuichi.]]

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler:Shuichi and apparently Kaede die having been reunited with each other in the Immersive Learning Program right before it shuts down]].

* StarCrossedLovers: Junko begins to consider herself and Shuichi to be this. After all her flirting and seductions toward him, when he finally begins to show some interest in her, she takes a moment to talk with her and confesses that [[spoiler:[[ILied she lied about her motive video being about her sister]], and that it revealed she actually has a boyfriend named Yasuke Matsuda. Since Shuichi's motive revealed he had a girlfriend, Kaede Akamatsu, then Junko began to think this must mean that despite how she and Shuichi might feel for each other they aren't meant to be together and it would be easier for them if Shuichi ''didn't'' want to be with her. So she asks him who he would prefer to be with between her, Chiaki, and Kaede, while explaining her reasoning to him, expecting it to be the end of their "relationship". Instead, Shuichi answers her question by pulling her into a kiss]].
