** All executions are carried out the same way here: Impalement via multiple sharp objects, similar to Mukuro's execution in the first game. The other executions in the second play does switch it up with personalized weapons for each execution, though: Teruteru gets the same type of skewer he killed the Ultimate Imposter with, and Mikan gets a giant syringe, with the spears from the first play only being brought back for Chiaki's execution. Notably, Peko's execution wasn't changed much compared to the others, though it still ends the same way, due to her execution in the game already being similar enough.

* DeadPersonImpersonation: Junko claimed she was going to do this to the dead classmates in the game version of Danganronpa 2, taking over their bodies once they awoke from their comas, but in the second stage play she ''actually does it'' while still inside the simulation. At first the survivors are led to believe that their friends have been returned to life, but after Hajime claims that [[OutOfCharacterAlert the real Nagito would never tell him to join despair,]] Junko drops the facade and just starts puppeting the characters around the stage while speaking through them. Occasionally she imitates the real person's personality, [[ManipulativeBastard just to fuck with the survivors more.]] Notably, she has Fake Peko come on to Fuyuhiko, [[ShowSomeLeg lifting her skirt]] and calling herself Peko Kuzuryu, to which he turns away and yells for Junko to stop, clearly affected.
