6Yuuta Hirota, a skilled young marksman, finds himself drifting unconscious after opening a letter addressed to him by Hope's Peak Academy. He wakes up in a abandoned classroom which he recognizes as Hope's Peak Academy due to the school's emblem being pasted everywhere. By opening the only door inside the classroom, he collided into an new ally. Literally.

8After joining up and meeting his numerous fellow classmates, he along with them are forced by Monokuma to kill one another in a glorified battle royale against their will. And when the first signs of tension start show themselves, Yuuta finds himself within the crossfire.

21!!!!Tropes contained in ''Dangan Ronpa: The Courage of Hope and The Strength of Despair'':
22
23* AccidentalMurder: The first trial was still held despite this unfortunate turn of events.
24* AnyoneCanDie: If you didn't expect to see this trope here, then shame on you..
25* ArcWords: ''Despair'', as Monokuma's goal, is mentioned many times through the game, and to a lesser extent ''hope''.
26* BigBad: Monokuma, just like in ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc'' and its sequel ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair''.
27* BigBrotherIsWatching: Monokuma can even teleport for crying out loud.
28* BodyOfTheWeek: This a mystery horror fanfic after all.
29* BreakingTheFourthWall: Monokuma constantly does this.
30* CliffHanger: Happens in every chapter.
31* CruelAndUnusualDeath: The executions are graphically written.
32* DeadlyGame
33* DespairEventHorizon: Monokuma's stated objective is to bring despair. If the students don't start killing each soon, he sure as heck has the resources to make them think otherwise.
34* DiabolicalMastermind: But not in the usual way it's portrayed in the trope, [[YoureInsane this mastermind is insane]], and [[SpotlightStealingSquad hogs the spotlight for the entirety of Chapter 1]], oh and topped with [[EvilLaugh boisterous laugh]] to boot.
35* DwindlingParty
36* EasterEgg: There are a lot of them too.
37** In chapter 1, it's implied that Izuru Kamukura was the one that knocked out the mastermind. Considering the timeline of this fanfic, it wouldn't be too strange if it was the case.
38** In chapter 2, Yuuta references Chihiro, the SHSL Programmer and Leon, the SHSL Baseball Player.
39** In the same chapter as above, Akiko made a reference to Sayaka, the SHSL Idol.
40** In chapter 3, Monokuma references the trope LaserGuidedAmnesia
41* ElaborateUniversityHigh: Implied with regards to the Academy.
42* {{Foreshadowing}}: The letter near the beginning of chapter 2.
43* GenderEqualEnsemble
44* GildedCage: The renovated Hope's Peak academy.
45* HandWave: Yet again Monokuma leaves out how the students lost their memories.
46* InvoluntaryBattleToTheDeath:
47* IronicEcho:
48** In chapter 4, Seijun gets shot back with his own passive-aggressive quip at Yevan, made in the previous chapter, by Yevan herself.
49** In chapter 5, Kotone's dialogue upon finding out about the class trials and their implications of an execution is reminisce of Hibiki's own comment from Chapter 3.
50* LaserGuidedAmnesia: All the students had their memories of just after they received a letter from Hope's Peak Academy, to set it up so that it looked like they had never come to the school before.
51* LeaningOnTheFourthWall Leaning On The Fourth Wall]]: Monokuma does this a lot, but he isn't the only one.
52* LimitedWardrobe:
53** Despite being locked up in a boarding school for at least a long time, none of the students even bothered change their clothes.
54** Downplayed, in chapter 3 where Monokuma states that the school had prepared multiple copies of the same outfit prepared for everyone.
55* OntologicalMystery: None of the characters have any idea how the school was locked down.
56* SadisticChoice: Kill one of your classmates, or spend the rest of your life in captivity - and when it comes down to the trial, fess up and receive a gruesome punishment, or escape with the blood of everyone else on your hands.
57* ShipTease: Yuuta and Megumi fall in this one, ''a lot''.
58** As of Chapter 4, Kenta and Kotone.
59** As of Chapter 5, Yevan and Makoto.
60* ShoutOut:
61** Chapter 2.
62--->'''Kenta''': Yeah, yeah. I get it. [[Franchise/{{Persona}} Social link activate]].
63** Chapter 5.
64--->'''Monokuma''': Hold your horses there, [[VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney Phoenix Wrong]].
65** Chapter 6.
66--->'''*Probably Monokuma*''': You're gonna have to swipe at it like in one of those mobile games, [[VideoGame/AngryBirds Mad Avains]] was it?
67*** During the post-intermission drabble by Monokuma in the same chapter, he mentions [[VisualNovel/NineHoursNinePersonsNineDoors Morphogenetic Field Theory]] followed by the surprised expression [[PunnyName Jumping Jellybeans!]], alluding to the main character's nickname
68* TenLittleMurderVictims
69* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: The executions are pretty much the embodiment of this trope, if the graphic writing didn't clue you in.
70* UnspokenPlanGuarantee: Subverted, it looked like it went well for Yevan and Tetsu... [[DidntThinkThisThrough But then stuff happened, guess you didn't think that completely through didn't you?]]
71* WinYourFreedom: The ultimate goal of the mutual killing event.
72* YouWakeUpInARoom: The start of Chapter 2
