History Fanfic / DanganronpaYakuzaArc

* AdaptationalBadass: [[ZigZaggedTrope Of a sort]]. Hajime never undergoes the procedure to become Izuru Kamukura, so never gets all of his badass traits, but [[TookALevelInBadass gains several levels in badass]] due to training [[spoiler:first with Peko and then with high-level Yakuza]].

* SnarkToSnarkCombat: In Chapter 14, we get to see an interaction between [[TheBully Hiyoko]] and [[ReformedBully Natsumi]] as they wait for Mahiru. It's every bit as snark and insult-filled as you'd expect.

* SympatheticMurderer: [[spoiler:Peko kills Hideki by running him through with a katana. But she killed him because he was going to kill Fuyuhiko and he had been [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing Peko]] for months, as well. Plus, he was masterminding the Killing Game, which ended up killing 11 people, including himself]].

* {{Fanservice}}: There are a handful of drawings done similarly to the official ''Danganronpa'' art style, and two happen to have Natsumi in a bikini, with one of the two also having a shirtless and [[HeroicBuild ripped Hajime]].

* MySisterIsOffLimits: Downplayed, since Fuyuhiko likes Hajime and sees that he's good for her, but Fuyuhiko does warn Hajime that if he hurts Natsumi, "there will be hell to pay." and that it won't be Fuyuhiko that beats him up, it'll be ''Peko''. Hajime is understandably [[{{Understatement}} not fond of that outcome]].

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler: Peko became this after Part 2, due to Hideki using Junko's brainwashing technology through Mukuro's phone on her. It's what causes her to be the traitor in the Killing Game]].

* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:[[AssholeVictim Hideki]] gets killed because he [[DidntThinkThisThrough failed to fully think through his plan]] as the mastermind and left a [[LoopholeAbuse pretty obvious hole]] in his rules for Peko during the Killing Game. Unsurprisingly, she killed him the first chance she had and then had him crucified in Fuyuhiko's place]].

* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:[[AssholeVictim Hideki]] gets killed because he [[DidntThinkThisThrough failed to think through his plan]] and left a [[LoopholeAbuse pretty obvious hole]] in his rules for Peko during the Killing Game. Unsurprisingly, she killed him the first chance she had and then had him crucified in Fuyuhiko's place]].

** [[spoiler: Why Natsumi initially breaks up with Hajime and agrees to the ArrangedMarriage, since she thinks he'll very likely be killed]].

* JustToyingWithThem: [[spoiler: How Hajime and Peko feel in their respective fights against Hideki and Mukuro. They only win because [[CombatPragmatist Hajime throws some of his own blood into Hideki's eyes]], and Mukuro learns of Junko's death and gets sloppy]].

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Hideki at first seems like an okay guy, not forcing himself on Natsumi in their arranged marriage and seems to take it well [[spoiler:when Hajime confesses his love for her]] and seemingly magnanimously offers to take the fall for the arranged marriage not working out. [[spoiler:He then kidnaps her and reveals that he was never going to marry her and was instead going to film killing her, or it's strongly implied [[RapeAsDrama do worse and then kill her]] to start a clan war between the Minamotos and Kuzuryus]].

!!Across More Than One Part:

!!Part 1:

!!Part 2:

!!Part 3:

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Hajime convinces Natsumi to try and make friends with Aiko Umesawa, a girl she's acquainted with from swimming. About everything that could go wrong does so, notably her being MistakenForThief, MistakenForGay and SustainedMisunderstanding all occur. The class then jeers and insults Natsumi, leaving her crying and running out of the classroom. It takes Hajime convincing her to apologize to the class and explain that she's trying to turn a new leaf that Aiko realizes her mistake and apologizes to Natsumi for her mistake and the two become friends.

* LuminescentBlush: Fuyuhiko when a bikini-clad Peko is on his shoulders had a "complexion of a boiled lobster". Hajime was likely the same with as flustered as he's mentioned being at having a bikini-clad Natsumi on his shoulders.

* TheBerserker: [[spoiler:Rile Hajime up enough and he becomes one, sometimes to his detriment, but sometimes to his benefit. In his fight against Hideki, going berserk early hurt him, but later in the fight, after getting his HeroicSecondWind he goes this with Hajime blinding Hideki with blood from Hajime's own stab wound before viciously wailing on Hideki and then nearly stabbing in the head him wins him the fight. Later, Hajime goes berserk on a Korean gangster and brutally kills him with a hammer. In his fight against Takuo in Part 3, after realizing that if he defeated Takuo sooner, he could have gotten a antidote syringe for Natsumi, it causes Hajime to go berserk, but he gains no ground on him and eventually gets disarmed]].

* UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler:[[AssholeVictim Hideki]] gets killed because he [[DidntThinkThisThrough failed to think through his plan]] and left a [[LoopholeAbuse pretty obvious hole]] in his rules for Peko during the Killing Game. Unsurprisingly, she killed him the first chance she had him crucified in Fuyuhiko's place]].

* BitchInSheepsClothing: Hideki at first seems like an okay guy, not forcing himself on Natsumi in their arranged marriage and seems to take it well [[spoiler:when Hajime confesses his love for her]] and seemingly magnanimously offers to take the fall for the arranged marriage not working out. [[spoiler:He then kidnaps her and reveals that he was never going to marry her and was instead going to film killing her, or its implied possibly [[RapeAsDrama do worse and then kill her]] to start a clan war between the Minamotos and Kuzuryus]].

* CleanPrettyReliable: [[spoiler:After Hajime had to wait for Natsumi's heart to stop to get a antidote injector in the "Sacrificial chamber", he injects the antidote straight to her heart and then performs CPR to resuscitate her]].

* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Takuo is still a badass and racks up 3 kills in the Killing Game despite lacking full use of his right hand and arm. He nearly kills Hajime, but Hajime nearly disembowels him with a laser cutter and finishes him by [[OffWithHisHead beheading him]].

* MacGyvering: [[spoiler:After he and Natsumi are kidnapped by Hideki and some of his thugs, Hajime breaks out of the trunk of the [=SUV=] he's locked in by forcing the trunk lid open with a car jack and a tire iron.

* CareerEndingInjury: [[spoiler:Takuo becomes a PencilPusher after his right arm was pulverized by Funaki]].

* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: [[spoiler:Hajime is repeatedly sliced by Hideki, and this is after he had received a beating by some of his gang members as well as a TapOnTheHead to get him there, before being stabbed in the stomach. However, he manages to get a HeroicSecondWind and manages to beat down and nearly kill Hideki, while sustaining more injuries. He manages to stay conscious long enough to untie Natsumi]].

** [[spoiler: Poor Chiaki definitely has feelings for Hajime, but due to his romance with Natsumi, that can't come to anything. So, she wishes the best for him and her when they part ways after graduating. For Hajime's part, he still cares deeply for her, as evidenced by him backing down 3 thugs into giving back her game system after they stole it. Later, he angrily grabs Nagito's throat when he endangered her life by bringing her with him to kill Junko (even though Nagito didn't want her to come but Chiaki insisted). Things never end well for Chiaki...]]

* ConnectedAllAlong:
** [[spoiler:Takuo turns out to be the son of Daichi Kuzuryu and Maaya Umebayashi, technically making him the true heir of the Kuzuryus, rather than Fuyuhiko. It also makes him first cousin to Natsumi and Fuyuhiko]].
** [[spoiler:Kaede Akamatsu from ''V3'' is strongly implied and [[WordOfGod later confirmed by the author in the comments]] to be Natsumi's twin sister in this universe. The parable that Eri and Masuichi heard referred to a queen having twin girls and giving up one child to distant relatives. Later, it's revealed Kaguya Kuzuryu's maiden name was Akamatsu and Kaede and Natsumi look ''very'' similar and their official birthdays are only a day away from each other, with Kaede being the older of the two and ''V3'' mentions she has a younger twin sister. If Kaguya gave birth around midnight, Kaede and Natsumi's birthdays could technically be a day apart, which is all a reference to a fan theory due to all of their similarities]].

* DamselInDistress: Natsumi gets one [[OnceAnEpisode in each part]]. [[spoiler: Hajime rescues her in the first two and [[DamselOutOfDistress she kills Eri as Eri was trying to choke her out]] in the Part 3]].

* ReformedBully: Natsumi lessens her bullying after nearly being killed by Sato. She drops it altogether late in Part 1, becoming TheAtoner.

* HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler:Hajime was in one after he killed two gangsters and caused the third to end up killed by Takuo after Hajime and Takuo were captured and tortured [[GoneHorriblyWrong on a mission that went wrong]]]]. It took meeting up with Natsumi again to break him out of it.

** [[spoiler: Poor Chiaki definitely has feelings for Hajime, but due to his romance with Natsumi, that can't come to anything.

* CleanPrettyReliable: [[spoiler: After Hajime had to wait for her heart to stop to get a antidote injector in the "Sacrificial chamber", he injects the antidote straight to her heart and then performs CPR to resuscitate her]].

* GoodCopBadCop: Hajime and Takuo's interrogation dynamic is this in the only one thats shown.

* ItGetsEasier: [[spoiler:Hajime gets told this by Takuo after Hajime killed 2 Korean mafia thugs. Ironically, the only person shown or mentioned killed by Hajime is Takuo himself in Part 3, and Hajime doesn't seem terribly broken up about it. In Part 3, after Natsumi kills Eri, Fuyuhiko mentions this as well and to ask Hajime about it]].

* ConnectedAllAlong: [[spoiler:Takuo turns out to be the son of Daiichi Kuzuryu and Maaya Umebayashi, technically making him the true heir of the Kuzuryus, rather than Fuyuhiko. It also makes him first cousin to Natsumi and Fuyuhiko]].

** [[spoiler: Shinta Masuichi is killed by being pushed into a shark tank]] and Hajime thinks it's like something "out o a cheesy spy movie.", possibly referring to either ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' or ''Film/AustinPowers''.
