She was selected as a student of Hope's Peak Academy's 78th class, and given the title of the "Ultimate Writing Prodigy". She helps the protagonist Makoto defeat the mastermind in the end and escape Hope's Peak with five other classmates^note Makoto, Kyoko, Byakuya, Hina, and Yasuhiro.

It's revealed that she has a split personality called "Genocide Jack", an infamous serial killer that awakens whenever Toko faints, is shocked by electricity, or sneezes.

Toko is the secondary protagonist of Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, helping co-protagonist Komaru Naegi survive the horrors of Towa City against the Warriors of Hope.

Tropes

Tropes applying to both Toko and Jack

• Abhorrent Admirer: To Byakuya. Both Toko and Jack call him "Master Byakuya" and fawn over him obsessively. Byakuya, for his part, finds Toko's obsession disgusting. Her fixation on him dies down during the events of Ultra Despair Girls when she becomes closer with Komaru. The same also applies to Jack, whom Byakuya finds utterly repulsive as well, though that's because Jack is also a Serial Killer and extremely vulgar.
• Action Dress Rip: In Ultra Despair Girls, she has torn slits into her skirt in order to facilitate Jack slaughtering Monokumas by the boatload.
• Adrenaline Makeover: In Ultra Despair Girls she has messier hair and sports an Action Dress Rip. The small changes make her all-around more attractive.
• Aggressive Submissive: Both personalities have a very strong attraction to Byakuya, often stalking him and singing his praises and both personalities want Byakuya to do all sorts of dirty things to them.
• All Love Is Unrequited: While it's hard to qualify it was anything other than perverted lust, but Byakuya only expresses irritation at her comments, not even entertaining them for a moment, while he does become nicer to both sides, it's a strong indicator he doesn't feel the same way.
• All Women Are Lustful: Both personalities are rather perverted about their "future" with Byakuya. Ultra Despair Girls has Toko and Jack openly fantasizing about Byakuya right in front of Komaru, and the screens between chapters are graded as Byakuya being whipped while degrading them.
• Alternate Identity Amnesia: The two of them share knowledge and emotions — for instance, if one of them develops emotions for someone, the other personality will feel the same way. However, memories are split between each personality; Toko knows things that Jack doesn't, and vice versa.
  • This is exploited in the first game. When their shared body is hit with a dose of Laser-Guided Amnesia, only the active personality was affected. This means Jack remembers The Tragedy, and Toko doesn't — unfortunately, they're unable to provide any concrete details, as it was Jack who actually experienced it. This becomes important in the final trial, where it's established that Toko and Jack share separate memories. Jack knows the score about what's going on outside of Hope's Peak Academy, backing up Junko's claims of the world ending.
  • Ultra Despair Girls has Jack confirm that the two share emotions as well as knowledge, adding that "there's no way we'd both love Master" were that not the case. However, this means that as Toko becomes friends with Komaru Naegi, Jack starts to feel affection for Komaru as well, even though Jack has no memory of becoming more friendly with Komaru.
• Ambiguously Bi: Toko is irrefutably attracted to men, but at some points she makes comments which suggests she may also be attracted to women.
  • In the first game, Toko comments on Aoi's figure and even got excited to near-orgasmic delight while she imagined Aoi having "sextracurricular activities". Genocide Jill has also remarked on the size of Aoi's breasts with both envy and awe. During Mukuro's retrial, Toko has her perverted/blushing sprite when Kyoko cuts her off as she tried to argue that Mukuro (being the Ultimate Soldier) gained her wounds prior to coming to Hope's Peak.
  • In Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, she makes frequent comments about the size of Junko Enoshima's breasts, and becomes progressively warmer and more physical with Komaru, even eventually being able to hold her hand, hug her, and stroke her hair, when she used to despise being touched. When Komaru hugs Jack after being rescued, Jack calls it an "unexpected girl-on-girl development".
• Anti-Hero: The split personalities are different types of anti-hero.
  • Toko is a Classical Anti-Hero. She's a weakling who's caught in circumstances way over her head, constantly scared out of her mind, acts antagonistic and snarky to everyone she meets, and wants nothing to do with the conflict. She does at least want to save people, though.
  • Jack is a violent anti-hero. In the first title, she's established as a serial killer who has killed multitudes of people. She's only a hero because she's on the side that opposes Junko and Monokuma, both of the overarching villains of the franchise and the first game in particular. It's made clear that Jack is not a pleasant person, and only doesn't kill anyone in the school because it's pragmatic for her to do so. In Ultra Despair Girls, she's openly threatening to Komaru when they first meet, loves attacking people, and only doesn't kill people because of her lustful obsession with Byakuka and synchronization that makes her feel affection as Toko and Komaru start getting closer.
• Breakout Character: Went from one of the peripheral survivors of the first game to the Promoted to Playable Deuteragonist of Another Episode.
• Cast as a Mask: In the English dub, the actor who plays Toko and the actor who plays Jack are two different people. This is true in both the original Danganronpa and Ultra Despair Girls.
• Deuteragonist: A second playable character in Ultra Despair Girls. While rare in the series, it isn't unheard of. That said, Genocide Jack/Toko Fukawa is the only other playable character besides Komaru, and the story focuses on the growing friendship between her and both split personalities.
• Establishing Character Moment: Jack appearing and destroying several Monokumas with ease by slicing them apart with her scissors, before threatening Komaru to find Byakuya's location, only to suddenly switch back to a confused and belligerent Toko shortly thereafter.
• Expository Hairstyle Change: After the first game, it's been undone from its normal braids. The guidebook likewise shows that, after joining the Future Foundation, it's once again tied in a single, much thicker, braid.
• Fanservice Pack: They're a lot bustier in Ultra Despair Girls than they were in the first game. Ironically, one of Genocide Jack's traits in the original game was that she had A-Cup Angst, but now she's much fuller. Toko and Jack still comment on the side of other womens' breasts in UDG, but not as often.
• Friendless Background: Her friend on the Demon Hitlist is an abnormally intelligent stinkbug. Ultra Despair Girls has both Toko and Jack admitting that they don't have any friends; Toko is very anti-social, and Jack's a serial killer. Even so, they do start genuinely bonding with Komaru Naegi, even though Toko wonders aloud if this will mean the quality of her angsty novels will diminish if she has a friend.
• Idiot Hair: Possesses her own protagonist hair in Another Episode, for the sake of her being the game's secondary protagonist.
• Irony: Toko is Afraid of Blood and a Shrinking Violet. Genocide Jack is a sadistic Serial Killer and a Large Ham.
• Loners Are Freaks: Neither personality likes to get close to most people. One is a gloomy, socially awkward and slightly delusional individual. The other is a mentally unstable Laughing Mad serial killer.
• Lovely Angels: Forms this with Komaru. The final attack on the Final Boss in Ultra Despair Girls even takes an angel-like pose as the two ladies deal the finishing blow.
• Made of Iron: In the fifth chapter of Trigger Happy Havoc, she tanks an explosion at point-blank range and is none the worse for wear. Ultra Despair Girls has Jack being outright invincible when playing as her; in an anime cutscene, two Monokuma robots explode like dynamite right in Jack's face, and she doesn't even flinch.
• Messy Hair: When her hair is undone, it has this look, especially when Jack is in control.
• Meta Girl: Both of them will break the fourth wall at times.
  • Toko occasionally references game design and balks at the more annoying design choices.
  • Jack explicitly points out the overuse of Split Personalities to make villains, giving them a bad rap; even goes so far as to claim she's going to disprove the stereotype. While she is creepy as hell, Jill is ironically the more rational of the two personalities, as Toko has a tendency to panic and assume the worst. This makes her less of a danger than Toko: as Jill points out, she never became a famous serial killer by being caught, and trying to kill anyone under the circumstances of Monokuma's game would be incredibly stupid of her. She also likes to point out the absurdities of in-game happenings, complete with Leaning on the Fourth Wall about game mechanics.
• The Mole: In Another Episode, she was leading Toko into a trap the whole time that they were working together. It was because Servant said that he'd release Byakuya if Toko led Komaru into a trap, intending for it to be a hostage exchange.
• Promoted to Playable: Going from NPCs in the original Danganronpa to the deuteragonist of Another Episode.
• Saved by Canon: She's indirectly mentioned as alive in the epilogue of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Since that game is set after Ultra Despair Girls, Toko and Jack must logically survive the events of UDG.
• School Uniforms are the New Black: Her purple Sailor Fuku, with it being significantly worse for wear as time progresses. Toko hopes to become a Future Foundation member so she can wear the suit that the others do.
• Single-Target Sexuality: It appears neither side ever loses their obsession with Byakuya Togami. While Toko fawns over a few other people at points, she only wants her "master" for herself. Toko and Jack even have sex fantasies about him in-between chapters.
• Split Personality: They have Dissociative Identity Disorder, with one persona being Toko Fukawa, an antisocial Shrinking Violet who prefers writing gloomy books. The other is Genocide Jack, an infamous Serial Killer who loves killing men she finds attractive. The other persona starts fronting whenever Toko/Jack faints or sneezes. As you can imagine, they're both very different people: Toko is gloomy and pessimistic, while Genocide Jack is a gleefully sadistic Large Ham. About the only thing they have in common is their infatuation with Byakuya Togami. The two also have their own exclusive memories that can't be shared with each other. In addition to her involuntary triggers of fainting and sneezing, Toko discovers that electrical shocks will switch her personality to Jack for a brief period of time before switching back automatically. This gives Toko some measure of control over her alter-ego by using a stun-gun to initiate the switch, and adjusting the voltage to change the duration — higher shocks mean more time switched.
• Synchronization: Sentimental feelings and emotions are shared between Toko and Jack, so if one feels friendship or affection towards someone, the other will feel the same. Memories, however, are not shared. This ties into how Jack slowly starts to feel affection for Komaru as Toko gets closer to her.
• Too Much Alike:
  • In the bonus modes, they get annoyed by Miu, who's just as perverted and vulgar as they are.
  • She also dislikes Peko, who she finds to similar to herself. She gets annoyed at Peko's mere presence and tells her to stay as far away from her as possible.
• True Companions: With Komaru, and, though Genocide Jack denies it, the other survivors of Class 78.

Tropes applying to Toko

In general

• Abusive Parents: Her traumatic childhood forced her to develop Dissociative Identity Disorder to cope with the abuse that her father and two mothers subjected her to; her father had children with two women who gave birth at the same time in the same hospital, but one of the babies died; neither woman wanted to know whether or not it was their baby that died, so they both decided to assume Toko was their daughter and live with her father. She suffered terrible neglect and emotional abuse at their hands, and tells Komaru that she was once locked in a closet for three days and left to starve, which gave her a fear of the dark.
• Afraid of Blood: Justified as seeing blood will cause Jack to take over.
  • Upon seeing Chihiro's body, the blood causes her to faint. But when Genocide Jill takes over, Jill does not have Toko's problem (or stutter).
  • The same happens when Kiyotaka's body is found. Makoto finds her passed out not too far from the crime scene and assumes she's dead too, but Byakuya tells him she's just unconscious.
  • In The Anime of the Game, she faints at the sight of "Junko"'s death by the Spears of Gungnir.
  • An irony that Komaru points out. Made even worse by all the carnage the Monokumas are causing.
• All Girls Want Bad Boys: She has a crush on Byakuya, and takes his neglect and insults as proof that he's secretly concerned about her.
• Bookworm: Along with being a professional writer, she also has a massive reserve of literary knowledge at her disposal. She's even called the Super Duper High School Bookworm in the translation by Project Zetsubou.
• Character Development: There is a striking difference in her personality across multiple entries. Toko in the first game hated the idea of making friends, and often accused people of hating her over nothing. While some of that personality type shows up in Another Episode too, Toko eventually moves past it as she genuinely starts to like Komaru.
• Child Prodigy: While all the Hope's Peak students have an extraordinary talent, Toko developed hers well before puberty.
• Cold Ham: Usually quite reserved and withdrawn, but then ninety percent of her Voice Grunting is just high-pitched squeals or overblown groans of displeasure. She also gets extremely "creative" with her threats and insults.
• Covert Pervert: The more we get to know her, the more obvious it becomes that she's a very lustful person, drooling over Byakuya and calling him "Master" and going on a lengthy tangent about Aoi's alleged erotic afterschool escapades. In Another Episode, this is best shown through her Fantasy Sequences of her and Byakuya. She sometimes shows hints of being a Nightmare Fetishist, despite being Afraid of Blood. Ironically, she tends to accuse other people of being Covert Perverts.
• Creepy Loner Girl: She's literally described as radiating "an aura of negativity", speaks with a pronounced stutter, and has never had any friends except for her pet stinkbug. She comes off as offputting to others due to her being very obsessive and having a persecution complex, as well as never bathing. She wears a dark sailor fuku and has long, dark hair that is extremely frizzy when not in its usual braids.
• Cute Bookworm: Despite her being an Abhorrent Admirer and The Pig-Pen, she's one of the most conservatively-dressed, alongside Chihiro. Not only does she wear huge thin-rimmed round glasses, she also wears a long skirt as part of her high school uniform, and even has a big reason for doing so. Her hair covers parts of her face, and also bears a beauty mark. Her Establishing Character Moment in 3 is her refusing to bathe.
• The Cynic: Toko tends to suspect the worst in humankind. Even when others are nice to her, she assumes it's all just a ploy to make her even more miserable. This is the situation she and Komaru find themselves in. Although she takes a stance akin to The Anti-Nihilist in that she figures if their situation is truly hopeless and they're going to die anyway, then they should still try; they might get lucky.
• Devoted to You: To Byakuya. She eventually starts calling him "master" and treating him almost with reverent loyalty. Byakuya finds such behavior gross.
• The Eeyore: Is regularly described as having an aura of negativity. She's also constantly insulting people, and saying that other people think horrible things about her, even when that's not true. Ironically, she's the one who helps Komaru out of her many Heroic BSoD moments.
• Extreme Doormat: To Byakuya. She even fantasizes about being an actual doormat for Byakuya in her scenario with Miu Iruma in V3's Ultimate Talent Development Plan.
• Fire-Forged Friends: Her antisocial behavior and the generally absurd circumstances she's trapped in game to game make it hard for her to open up to others.
  • By the end of the first game, she starts to view her classmates as her True Companions, being able to escape the Killing Game with them.
  • The only reason she stayed with Komaru at first was that she made a deal with Servant that he would release Byakuya, who was taken hostage early in the game if she brought Komaru to the kid's HQ. It's only later in the game she begins to warm up to her and start referring to her as a friend. When Komaru decides to stay behind in the city, Toko ultimately decides to go with her.
• Flowery Insults: Hurls plenty of insults at others' way, particular Komaru — most of them are animal-themed, and sometimes surprisingly abstract and clever.
• Hates Baths: Hinted in the first game, and confirmed in the art book. It's commented on more than once that Toko smells bad by characters at Hope's Peak. Her first appearance in 3 has her evading Komaru, who is trying to get her to take a bath.
• Hates Being Touched: In addition to having problems with people in general, she doesn't like being touched by anyone. That said, she does show some Covert Pervert tendencies with her fantasies about Byakuya. Her first hug from Komaru is extremely awkward, with Toko looking like she almost wants to push her away.
• Heroic Self-Deprecation: Played for drama. Toko frequently calls herself ugly, useless, or stupid, which serves to highlight how low her self-esteem is. This comes into play in Another Episode when Toko is convinced to go behind Komaru's back in a hostage exchange, with Toko saying that Komaru should have known not to trust such a horrible person — that is, Toko herself. However, Komaru recognizes what Toko is doing, and turns this back around on Toko and Jack to tell them that they both mean something to her.
• Hypocrite: She often assumes that whoever she's talking to hates her while insulting them right off the bat, and tends to accuse others of being perverted when she's shown to be a borderline Nightmare Fetishist.
• Hypocrite Has a Point: In Ultimate Talent Development Plan, she once told Miu that she does not have any friends because people cannot put up with her crass antics and her generally filthy mouth. This might be rich, given how Toko herself is a foul-mouthed pervert, but her point still stands.
• Inferiority Superiority Complex: Is constantly talking down to others, but also has a lot of self-esteem issues and people-issues due to past bullying. She deals with it by being impatient and insulting towards Komaru, at least initially. She also accuses Komaru of thinking terrible things about her, which is something Toko also did in the original Danganronpa game.
• Ms. Imagination: She has some erotic fantasies where she and Byakuya are in love. All of the imagery is rendered in a cliche shojo-manga style with lots of sparkles and flush lips.
• Nervous Wreck: She's constantly stuttering even when saying the most insane possible things and constantly fears those around her. She's also quite easily scared and very much cowers in fear when the slightest inconvenience crops up. This is mostly explained by her fear that she might accidentally release the murderous Genocide Jack.
• Not a Morning Person: Both Naegi siblings say this to her word-for-word.
• Odd Couple: Toko and Komaru's relationship is defined by the stark contrast in their personalities and viewpoints. Toko is cynical, depressing, and violent; Komaru is optimistic, relatively cheerful (given the circumstances, at least), and tries to take the least violent option.
• Perverted Drooling: Thinking about Byakuya can cause her to drool copiously.
• The Pig-Pen: She doesn't shower often — in the first trial, she didn't remember that the water in the bathrooms turned off at night because she hadn't used the shower in the entire time since she arrived. Byakuya claims her breath smells bad as well.
• Self-Harm: Toko can temporarily switch to Jack by using a taser on herself. Might qualify as Harmless Electrocution, but Toko fears doing it too much might fry her brain. Justified by her response to Komaru's assumption that Toko can use the taser on herself constantly:
  Toko: "Didn't I just say I need the stun gun to change?! My brain would fry if I just did it over and over!"
• Shrinking Violet: Good luck even getting her to say a full sentence.
• Stock Shoujo Bullying Tactics: She was at the receiving end of some really cruel bullying. It was traumatic enough to have a play in her split personality being born.
• Static Stun Gun: Toko's weapon. She uses it on herself to (temporarily) switch into Genocider.
• When She Smiles: During the duration of the first game, a frown never leaves Toko's face (no, Jill's Slasher Smile doesn't count), but in one of the class pictures taken before they lost their memories, she appears legitimately happy. She also smiles when she sees Makoto again in the cafeteria after his failed execution. She then begins to smile a lot more as she bonds with Komaru.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

A famous romance novelist who has been writing bestselling books since before she was ten years old. However, she has never had a friend, much less a real romance. Having been bullied as a child, she has a severe persecution complex and always assumes that people think the worst of her. Because of this, she's extremely pessimistic and slow to trust others. She has Dissociative Identity Disorder, with her other persona being "Genocide Jack/Jill", an infamous serial killer that awakens whenever she sees blood and reverts when she sneezes. Jill is a textbook maniacal psychopath, but befitting of a serial killer is highly intelligent and methodical. She survives the final trial and escapes the school with the other surviving students.

---

• The Bully: Similar to Miu and Hiyoko after her, Toko is a victim of past bullying who engages in bullying herself, spending a lot of time treating Aoi terribly for next to no reason to the point where she even creepily goes on about weird sexual fantasies about Aoi in front of her which freaks Aoi out and only stops once Sakura steps in. By UDG though she's mostly grown out of this even if she's kept her snark and tendency to make weird comment
• Foreshadowing:
  • She goes into an unexplained moment of Visible Silence when, during a breakfast in Chapter 1, the topic of discussion switches to Genocide Jack.
  • In the second investigation, the discussion naturally turns to Genocide Jack's killing methods, before this exchange happens
    Sakura: Nevertheless, having a murderer among us flourishing that kind of style is worrisome.
    Aoi: Ah...!
    Hifumi: What is it now!?
    Aoi: Toko...!
    Makoto: (internally) We looked over to where Hina was pointing, and over there, by the changing room's door...
• The Friend Nobody Likes: Much like Hiro, while others may show concern for her life as a matter of principle, she is otherwise disliked by pretty much everyone else save for Makoto should the player put in the work to have him befriend her.
• The Glasses Gotta Go: Implied. In the final class picture, when she looks her happiest, she isn't wearing glasses; this might be explained by the picture being taken during gym class, but Byakuya and Hifumi still have theirs.
• Hikikomori: A Rare Female Example. Thanks to a terrible home life and even worse mental problems, Toko rarely comes out of her room. This even extends to her time in Hope's Peak, where she rarely goes anywhere.
• Horrible Judge of Character: She tells Byakuya that she's Genocide Jill, and is shocked when he tries to use the information to frame her for a murder. He retorts that she should know real life isn't like her romance novels.
• Insufferable Genius: Shaky as her sense of self-worth is usually, her confidence in her writing is tremendous (and a gander at her track record proves this is most certainly not without reason)
• I Should Write a Book About This: Parodied. Her last line in the game is her declaring intent to write about her and Byakuy's story, and she makes no promises to include the other four survivors if she does.
• Jerkass: At first appears to be this, but her Free Time Events make very clearly a facade which she appears to have dropped during the students' normal years at the academy, as shown in the gym photo shown in the credits. Although its played straight as shown by her behaviour towards Aoi
• Jerkass to One: Seems to have a particular grudge against Aoi Asahina for pretty much zero reason to the point of either insulting her or making up weird sexual fantasies about her, in earlier chapters Aoi actively tries to get along with Toko only to be horribly rebuffed, by chapter 4 Aoi drops any attempt at befriending Toko and even throws down with Toko after Toko insults Sakura. By 3 it seems like they're on good terms though.
• Mad Love: Has this relationship with Byakuya, who makes it clear more than once that he doesn't think much of her. Toko, however, interprets his insults as his being secretly concerned about her and will do whatever he asks without question. On the other hand, Byakuya isn't above using her almost slavish devotion to him to his own advantage.
• Nervous Wreck: To the point it's easiest to tell if she's herself or Jill "acting" as her based around how nervous she seems, since Jill doesn't have her stutter and isn't as prone to panicking.
• No Social Skills: Tends to preemptively reject others, accusing them of thinking the worst of her while assuming the worst about them.
• Pet the Dog: She assumes the worst of everyone, and some of the hardest insults go to Makoto after she declares Byakuya her "master". But when Makoto survives his execution and returns, while Byakuya is still annoyed, Toko actually, legitimately smiles. One of three times in the game.
• Perpetual Frowner: She smiles at most two times during the entire game, including her free time events.
• Red Herring: In the first game, despite Genocider Jack/Jill being an established serial killer, she's never actually responsible for a single murder.
• Running Gag: Several of her free time events end with Makoto thinking to himself that Toko probably hates him, and he's more sure of it each time.
• Shy Finger-Twiddling: In some of her sprites, particularly one where she's looking down with a lewd smile and a blush on her face whenever she's talking about Byakuya.
• Slept Through the Apocalypse: A variant in the final trial—halfway through she switches to Genocide Jill so the latter can explain the Tragedy. Jill remains in control for the rest of the trial and Toko doesn't come back until after it's all over.
• Slut-Shaming: Calls the flamboyant gyaru Junko a whore, and makes several nasty remarks about Aoi's impressive bosom.
• Speech Impediment: She has a pronounced stutter.
• Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Her free time events reveal that she has been ditched in middle school by her date (because he was only going out with her due to losing a bet with a friend) and ridiculed in elementary school for writing a heartfelt love letter to her best friend, who instead pinned it on the school bulletin board. It doubles as the reason why she started writing in the first place (a teacher thought her style was pretty unique).
• Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Justified, since she writes them. This gets shot down by her attempts to flirt with Byakuya, who says that life "isn't like one of [her] romance novels".
• Throw the Dog a Bone: She survives the killing game and escapes the academy along with her fellow survivors.
• True Art: In-Universe example, as her dislikes include light novels and manga.
• Write What You Know: In-Universe example: she tries it, and the result ends up depressing Makoto.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

Toko Fukawa is the Ultimate Writing Prodigy, and one of the survivors of the Killing School Life. She possesses a Split Personality in the form of Genocide Jack, a notorious serial killer and the Ultimate Murderous Fiend. She usually changes between the two when she sneezes, but in the time since the killing game, Toko has discovered that she can also trigger a personality switch using a controlled jolt of electricity (such as from a stun-gun). What's more, this method will also cause her to automatically change back to Toko after a fixed period of time, giving her some measure of control over Genocide Jack.

---

• Affectionate Nickname: Komaru in the dub tries calling her "Toki" for a while (as a stand-in for the original using "Toko-chan").
• The Anti-Nihilist: While Toko is quite cynical about the situation in the game, she figures that she might as well keep going anyway. She's in no hurry to die, and as long as she and Komaru at least try to do something, then at least they can say they put in the effort and/or died with some integrity.
• Big Damn Heroes: Completing a QTE when Komaru runs out of health will have Toko using her Stun Gun to save Komaru, preventing a game over.
• Brutal Honesty: Toko has no mercy. If she has something to say, she'll say it. She frequently calls Komaru out for her cowardice before she gets tougher, calls out the leader of the resistance for just hiding and doing nothing, and even calls out the children for the hideously cruel nature of their plan.
• Cannot Spit It Out: Extremely hesitant to explain anything about her past experiences with Monokuma to Komaru, up to and including neglecting to let Komaru know about her brother's time at Hope's Peak Academy.
• Cannot Tell a Joke: Komaru is left thoroughly confused any time Toko attempts to joke around. It doesn't help that Toko's sense of humor is either pretty dark or pretty gross.
• Caustic Critic: She harshly criticizes any literature works Komaru comes across, from manga trash to worthless light novels.
• Commander Contrarian: Played for laughs. If Komaru is rude to her, she will angrily point it out, and if Komaru compliments her, she will refuse to believe it.
• Compliment Fishing: She compares herself to the hospital, calling both gloomy and dark, but gets upset when Komaru agrees with her and doesn't deny it.
• Cop Hater: Toko does not think highly of the police, if her reaction to Komaru's suggestion to call them for help is anything to go by:
  Toko: The police? That collective of psychos that think all humans are criminals until proven innocent?
• Cower Power: If Komaru aims her Hacking Microphone in Toko's direction, she'll crouch down in a cowering position.
• Creator Recovery: She has an In-Universe worry about this trope during a conversation over one of her novels.
  Toko: What I write in my novels is my idea of an ideal world. Because I know it will never be reality, I have to write it in fiction.
  Komaru: So you write it because you can't have it? But don't most writers write from experience?
  Toko: Not necessarily. My theory is that happy people can only write happy, shallow stories. But the downtrodden can vividly imagine their ideal world, perfectly envision true beauty. And that's the spirit that I put in my novels.
  Komaru: Well, I kinda get that... But I kinda don’t.
  Toko: Based on my theory, I wonder if I can keep writing interesting novels...
  Komaru: Hm? What do you mean?
  Toko: L-Like I said, I'm concerned! If I have a friend like you, and I'm happy...
• Crush Filter: She gets one for her beloved master Byakuya in several scenes. Since he's already rather handsome to begin with, this is done more satirically than usual, with the art style around Byakuya shifting to something out of a 1970's romance manga.
• Dare to Be Badass: Gives Komaru several rousing speeches to this effect. Of course, it's sometimes punctuated by insults or how the situation is hopeless, so they best they can hope for is that they'll die on their feet. It's not much, but it's something.
• Fantasy Sequence: The player is frequently treated to Toko's wild, Byakuya-centered fantasies.
• Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Does this to Komaru in the final chapter to break her out of her Heroic BSoD, including by slapping her.
• Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!: Toko does not believe in giving up and encourages Komaru to fight and risk rather than surrender and despair.
• Green-Eyed Monster: When she assumes Komaru being rescued by Byakuya makes her a love interest, Toko instantly becomes jealous.
• Iron Butt Monkey: Over the course of the game, Toko is subjected to a variety of misfortunes. She has had a chunk of ceiling fall on her head, been left to freeze at night, accidentally knocked downstairs, and more. And yet, she keeps going like nothing happens.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As Toko herself puts it, "having a dirty mouth and a heart of gold is, like, my thing!" Toko is very abrasive, blunt, and seems to enjoy putting other people down. Her insults directed at Komaru are done with a smile on her face, she openly yells at the leader of the resistance against the Warriors of Hope, and she openly distrusts everyone but herself despite having no reason to doubt them. But Toko ultimately does grow to care about Komaru, and does want what's best for everyone, even telling Komaru to overcome despair and become the hope of the world.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: She's far more foul-mouthed than Komaru is, using the words "fuck" and "shit" from time to time. Komaru's language never gets worse than "damn", and only once at that.
• Last-Name Basis: Seemingly enforced even beyond the series standards. After being called "Toko-chan" in the original script, she says no one has ever called her by her first name, and uncomfortable with how to react.
• Malicious Misnaming:
  • She tends to call Komaru by the derisive nickname "Omaru," which is the Japanese word for "toilet." Toko stops doing this after the fight with Genocide Jack in Chapter 4, calling Komaru by her first name instead.
  • Early on, Toko says "Komaru Naegi? More like... Cumaru Naegi!" while making a crude joke about Komaru's name.
• Ms. Exposition: Toko knows a lot more about the despairing situation than Komaru, and as such functions as her primary info source if something confuses her.
• Nerves of Steel: In contrast to her previous status as a Nervous Wreck, here she's always the first one to keep her head no matter how grim the situation gets... so long as the lights are turned on.
• Non-Action Snarker: She does not fight at all, and instead relies on Komaru and Jack. However, Toko does bring plenty of snide comments and sarcasm to the table.
• The Power of Friendship: Implied to be the reason Toko was able to remember Komaru's friendship speech, despite being Jack at the time. Also, Toko references this right before the Final Boss fight, saying that the two of them are not so different with a genuine smile on her face, and admitting that the two of them can help each other while giving Komaru a hug and stroking her hair.
• The Promise: If she's ever going to become a full member of the Future Foundation, Toko has to prove that Jack's no longer dangerous. Part of this entails swearing to ensure that Jack never takes another life. At least, another human life.
• Properly Paranoid: She always assumes the worst thing that can happen, and is often right. She distrusts Shirokuma from the start and never stops believing the white bear is just tricking everyone. While she wouldn't actually be validated in that thinking by anyone, she was right.
  "A safe place? That sounds blatantly suspicious. That's a phrase kidnappers would use..."
• Resist the Beast: Servant sprinkles pepper over her face to make her sneeze, which would change Toko into Genocide Jack. Komaru tries to help, but Toko shouts "Don't come near me! R-RUN!" and tries to resist sneezing, to no avail.
• The Scream: She pulls this a few times, with her sprite resembling the titular painting. She hangs a lampshade on it at one point.
  "Eeek! It's blood! BLOOOD! Ugh, I was so shocked I really drew out that last word..."
• Talks Like a Simile: She makes a lot of off the wall comparisons to things she dislikes.
  (To Shirokuma) "That white color is unnatural! Like being served a plate of curry rice that's just rice!"
• Thinks Like a Romance Novel: As evident by her overly dramatic fantasies of Byakuya, which sometimes skew into fetish territories. This is in spite of the fact that Byakuya still thinks Toko is disgusting.
• Took a Level in Kindness: She cares significantly more for others than she did in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. She starts out as the same cynical jerk she did in the original Danganronpa, but her growing friendship with Komaru makes her act much more kind as the game goes on.
• Vocal Evolution: She doesn’t stutter as much anymore compared to the previous game, where she could barely go a sentence without stuttering.
• What Is This Feeling?: Toko is eventually left baffled and resistant to the idea that she could have a friend, let alone be Komaru's.
• Why Did You Make Me Hit You?: She smacks Komaru to break her out of a Heroic BSoD, and then demands to be slapped back in retribution.
• Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Zigzagged. She expresses this belief when encountering one of the masked Monokuma Kids. But she doesn't have as much of a problem attacking the Warriors of Hope.
  Toko: Kids killing adults... it's just crazy. Be that as it may, we can't just attack a child...

Danganronpa 3

Future Foundation Intern, (Former) Ultimate Writing Prodigy/(Former) Ultimate Murderous Fiend

^{Click here to see Genocide Jack}

A classmate of Makoto. While not officially part of the Future Foundation, she takes orders from Byakuya alongside Komaru in Towa City. She treasures Komaru as her first friend. Has a Split Personality in the form of an infamous serial killer known as Genocide Jack.

---

• The Bus Came Back: She finally appears again in episode 6 alongside Komaru.
• A Day in the Limelight: The seventh episode of Side:Future is focused on her and Komaru.
• Demoted to Extra: Receives the least screen time of the 78th Class survivors with most of that screen time coming from episode 7. Mostly justified as she still isn't a full member of the Future Foundation and is still in Towa City far away from the Final Killing Game.
• Tsundere: Platonic variant for her friends. Both personalities like to mock Komaru but they strongly care for her. And when Monaca states one of the Former 78th class will die, she's very shocked and changes to Jack to get the answer even as she denies actually being worried about them.

Genocide Jack/Jill

Ultimate Murderous Fiend

"And what happened is a textbook split personality! So what if one of them happens to be a serial killer!? You should turn a blind eye to one's faults! Kyeehahahaha!"

Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro (Japanese), Erin Fitzgerald (English), Carli Mosier (anime) (English)

A Serial Killer rumored to have killed thousands of people. Jack's trademark is writing BLOODBATH FEVER ("Bloodlust" in the English version) in the victim's blood and crucifying them with custom-made scissors. When Chihiro is murdered, the crime scene makes it evident that Jack is among them. She's actually a Split Personality of Toko, and changes back with a sneeze. Jill does not share the same memories as Toko, which means that she can remember some things her other self has forgotten.

Tropes applying to Genocide Jack/Jill

In general

• Absurd Cutting Power: Her scissors can cut apart Monokumas easily.
• Affably Evil: Despite being a psychotic serial killer, she is generally friendly and helpful to the other students and doesn't seem to bear them any ill will.
• Ax-Crazy: Instantly applicable to the known crazy murderer who kills boys because she thinks they're cute. She openly admits that she wished she killed Chihiro when Jill finds out his actual gender. The only reason she isn't more violent to the heroes is because of Byakuya and Komaru reining in the worst aspects of her personality. Even so, Jack openly laughs at Black Comedy, and her introductory scene in Another Episode has Jack threaten to "carve [Komaru] up into pieces and line [her] up at the meat counter".
• Birds of a Feather: Jill hits it off pretty well with fellow Serial Killer Korekiyo, since neither fits the other's "type" in Ultimate Talent Development Mode and she asks if he found any "suitable girls", while he asks if she found any boys who "cut it".
• Black Comedy: A veritable fountain of this. Since she's a serial killer, a lot of her jokes are about death and committing murder. She also makes several crude sex jokes, such as getting aroused at the idea of killing Chihiro once she finds out that he was a crossdresser.
• Card-Carrying Villain: She is unrepentant about the many murders she has committed, and actually takes a bit of pride in her macabre "craft". She's actually quite insulted that someone copied her MO for the second murder, especially because the murderer did such a sloppy job of imitating her. She's one of only two characters who don't become "true friends" with Makoto at the end of their dialogue lines, along with Byakuya.
• Crazy Sane: Jack may have a constant impulse to kill cute boys with scissors, but she's also the most rational student in the school, and helps you with no strings attached because she doesn't want Monokuna to kill her. The reason she doesn't kill anyone in-game is also a mix of rational and irrational; she has one specific M.O. for killing targets and can't stand any deviation, but she's also aware that leaving her calling cards lying around willy-nilly (especially with a limited suspect pool) is counter-productive to the whole 'not getting caught' thing. So she decides just to do the game the pacifist way. She is also aware that there's really no point to escaping, given the Tragedy outside.
• Creepy Souvenir: She carves a mark upon her left leg for her every victim (hence Toko's retro-length skirt).
• Dual Wielding: She can swing two scissors at once with equal proficiency.
• Dub Name Change: She's named "Genocider Sho" in the original Japanese dub. The localization calls her Genocide Jack/Jill. And "Jill" is dropped after Trigger Happy Havoc, though; Goodbye Despair, Ultra Despair Girls and V3: Killing Harmony only use "Jack".
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: She's still in love with Byakuya and though she did not get along with Komaru at first and was planning to bring her over to the Servant to get Byakuya free but over time she starts to care about her as well and was planning to let her go.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Jill is unrepentantly murderous and insane and never misses an opportunity to hammer this point home with her mad laughter, but even she is disgusted at Junko. When the full scope of Junko's plans for the classmates comes to light, Jill starts to laugh - and then abruptly stops, adopts a completely sane tone of voice, and says that even she can't find Junko's plot funny.
• Evil Is Hammy: To further contrast her much more subdued alter ego's personality, Jill is very loud and boastful.
• Evil Laugh: Comes with the territory of being an Ax-Crazy Serial Killer. She's prone to becoming Laughing Mad at the slightest thing, oftem with a wild "Kyehahahaha!"
• Extendable Arms: A lot of the narrations in other media usually describe her wild contortions and seemingly-impossible feats of acrobatics. The designers of Another Episode run with this and have her ignoring her own human limits by stretching her arms to reach out and stab during one her combo strings.
• Eye Color Change: When changing into Genocide Jill, her eyes change from pinkish-gray to red. The shape of her iris also becomes much larger and oval-shaped.
• Gender-Blender Name: Syo is a normally male name, which is why it was changed to Jack in the dub since an English audience might assume it to be gender-neutral.
• Genki Girl: An unusually twisted variant, and in the English version, this is the correct answer when she asks Makoto about which archetype she falls into.
• Hammerspace: She always seems to have multiple pairs of scissors on her somewhere. And it's never explained where exactly she's hiding them, or how. All Jill says on the subject is "I've got more on me, if anyone wants to go treasure hunting!" when she first shows off a few pairs.
• Hidden Weapons: Genocide Jill keeps several pairs of scissors in a leg holster at all times (the right leg, specifically). It's not clear why Toko doesn't just remove them while Jill is dormant, though the fact she constantly makes more may be a factor.
• Inconsistent Spelling: Much like Sakura, Syo's name is inconsistently romanized. The original game uses 'Syo' the one time it's romanized. The anime uses 'Syo' on written files, but 'Sho' on the character's introduction screen. Funimation's subtitles, for their part, stick with 'Sho', as do newer supplementary materials. And the game localization does something completely different with Jack/Jill.
• Kill Tally: She carves a tally mark into her thigh for each new life she takes. Which is why Toko wears a very long skirt to hide those marks.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: She curses far more often than Toko does, curses the most out of all the female characters, and is also considerably more vulgar than anyone else. Jill talks about her "naughty bits" when describing men she likes, and uses "shit" a few times.
• Large Ham: Whereas Toko can be a Cold Ham at best, Jill is constantly loud and vulgar. She even insists on sticking her tongue out like she's the goddess Kali all the time.
• Laughably Evil: Jill is hilarious, and given her murders look like giving money to charity compared to Monokuma's actions, you don't feel that bad about it.
• Laughing Mad: The number of times she doesn't punctuate something with her Evil Laugh can be counted on one hand. She even injects it into the middle of her sentences. When she stops laughing, it means the stakes are raised.
• Love Redeems: Jill promises to give up serial killing in her last Free Time Event if Makoto sets her up with Byakuya. Ultra Despair Girls shows that this must have stuck.
• Made of Iron: She survives being blasted across a room by a bomb in the first game. Jack in Another Episode can still be knocked down by enemy attacks, but does not take any damage. This can waste precious taser time, but the player technically cannot be defeated while controlling Jack.
• Maniac Tongue: There's almost never a moment when Jill's tongue isn't hanging out of her mouth, and it's extremely long and pointed, reaching down to her collarbone. How she never bites her tongue when she talks is anyone's guess.
• Meaningful Name:
  • Jill describes herself as a fujoshi (腐女子), the first kanji of which is the same character in Toko Fukawa (腐川冬子). Provides an interesting contrast, considering they're the kind of people who Toko hates.
  • In the dub, the names Genocide Jack and Genocide Jill are references to both Jack the Ripper^note Some theories state that "Jack" was a woman, and refer to "her" as Jill the Ripper and the Nursery Rhyme Jack and Jill^note Some versions of the rhyme include a third verse where Jill grins upon discovering Jack was injured.
• Monster Misogyny: Inverted—Genocide Jack is a female serial killer who exclusively targets men she considers attractive.
• Mood-Swinger: Very unpredictable, constantly switching between genki, calm, and deranged without warning.
• Motor Mouth: She's prone to launching into nonsensical ramblings and rapidly jumping between topics. She also talks much faster than Toko does, and isn't prone to stuttering like Toko is. Surprisingly, she never seems to bite her tongue no matter how much she says or how quickly she says it.
• Mythical Motifs: Her design and MO is based on a combination of Kali, a Hindu Goddess of death (among other things), and a Kuchisake-Onna, a Japanese Yōkai who is a spirit of a woman wronged by men who kills her victims with scissors that is very hard to escape from.
• The Nicknamer: Tends to call most characters by a shortened version of their first name, then "-kun"/"-chan"/etc, i.e. "Ma-kun" (Makoto), "Hifumin" (Hifumi), and "Chi-tan" (Chihiro). In addition, she refers to Toko as Gloomy, and calls Aoi things like "Godzilla Tits". Aoi occasionally has to ask who she's talking about. The localization has them call Makoto "Big Mac" and "Makoodle poodle kit-and-kaboodle" among other things. She also uses "Tick Tock" (Kiyotaka), "Huffy" (Hifumi), and "Cherry" (Chihiro).
• Non-Fatal Explosions: She survived being next to a Monokuma bomb as it went off, and at the most she looks tired after waking up. She later does so again in Another Episode.
• Offscreen Villainy: She is never shown actually being a Serial Killer onscreen. She's mostly relegated to being comic relief and The Friend Nobody Likes. She even lampshades it at one point, calling herself a "surprisingly wholesome serial killer".
• One-Woman Army: She can effortlessly cut apart several Monokumas in battle. Another Episode even puts a time limit on using her so she doesn't become overpowered.
• Pragmatic Villainy: Despite being a serial killer, Jack never actually kills anyone on-screen throughout the series. She has pragmatic reasons for reining it in each time.
  • In the first game, Jack notes that if the point of the game is to not get caught, then it would be just plain stupid to use all her calling cards as a serial killer if she did decide to murder someone at Hope's Peak. And since Jack doesn't want to murder someone in any other fashion except her usual MO (especially since she knows about the state of the outside world thanks to the Tragedy, and thus isn't interested in getting away with murder to escape), then Jack decides that she simply won't kill anyone.
  • In Ultra Despair Girls, Jack once again relegates herself just to killing Monokuma robots because she's been told that she and Toko won't get into Future Foundation if she kills another human. And since that would mean never seeing Byakuya again, Jack holds it back. She's still very violent, though; she slices Servant's legs, and openly tries to kill Komaru in a boss fight, so she only reins it in so far.
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: When she's in control, Jill's eyes are a bright red and a very large oval shape.
• Serial Killer: How she earned her name. Genocide Jill is rumored to have killed thousands of people, though she only takes credit for five of them in the games. Jill also mentions that she has a few calling cards; among them, she only targets men she finds attractive, and only kills people with pairs of scissors.
• Shear Menace: Her weapons are scissors. Specifically, multiple pairs of specially-made scissors that she uses to kill people. She always seems to have multiple pairs of them around somewhere, and even crucifies her victims with them. She not only uses these to cut the Monokuma bots apart but can use the scissors like throwing knives to great effectiveness. And each pair of scissors must have Absurdly Sharp Blades, since Jack cuts through solid steel using her scissors with little trouble.
• Sneeze of Doom: Her method of transformation, even if the Deadly Game prevents the other students from seeing her as that much of a threat (therefore diminishing the "doom" aspect).
• Split-Personality Makeover: Toko and Genocide Jill are discernibly different in that Genocide Jill has red eyes and an Overly-Long Tongue. Jill also speaks much faster and more confidently.
• Stalker with a Crush: Towards Byakuya, and all of her victims. Jill says she "only kills guys that get [her] going in the southern hemisphere". However, Jill notes that Byakuya is the first guy she's liked that she doesn't want to kill.
• Superpowered Evil Side: Toko can barely sprint and often has to catch her breath. Genocide Jack can quickly and effortlessly cut through Monokumas with ease. Mechanic-wise, Jack can suddenly pull a seemingly unlimited number of scissors sharp enough to cut through metal and stone out of nowhere and can jump at least as high as Luigi. Also, Jack can't take damage while she's out; the worst that can happen is she can be knocked down, which eats up precious battery time. If Toko even sneezes or passes out to switch to Jack without the battery, expect to make liberal use of her. This even extends to the Duel Boss fight against Jack; Komaru can't damage her, and the only way to win is to just wait out the timer until she switches back to Toko.
• Token Evil Teammate: She's a remorseless mass murderer, but she's also one of the most stable students during the trials and lacks the others' tendencies of jumping to conclusions, as well as surviving the whole game and escaping with the others. This is the reason why Toko isn't a proper member of the Future Foundation; they judged Jack as a threat. And while Toko's triggers of transformation are known — sneezing, fainting, or a taser — it's not enough to let Toko/Jack in safely. The Foundation only agrees to let Toko and Jack stay if the latter can promise that she won't kill any more humans.
• When She Smiles: Despite her reptilian tongue, it's actually kind of cute. After Komaru vows to come with her because she and Toko are her friends, Jack actually gives a brief, but genuine smile.
• Would Hurt a Child: When Makoto reads her case file, at least one of her victims is as young as 14.
• Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Her pathology involves her only killing men she finds attractive. Women hold no interest to her.
• Yandere:
  • She kills men that she finds cute. Once Jill finds out that Chihiro is a Wholesome Crossdresser, Jill admits she wishes that she'd killed him, because she finds that so hot.
  • For Byakuya in particular. But not to the point of wanting to kill him or anyone else for his sake, which makes him a unique case for her. In Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, she admits to wanting to have a cake made in Byakuya's image so she could legally stab and kiss it.
• Yaoi Fangirl: In contrast to Toko's seething hatred of anime and manga. In fact, she specifically refers to herself as a fujoshi (basically "rotten fangirl", a term fans of the yaoi genre might recognize). That being said, she kills boys she thinks are attractive, so it's some Insane Troll Logic. Her reaction to thinking that there's something going on with Sakura and Hina suggests that she's not averse to yuri either, even if yaoi is her predominant fixation.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

• A-Cup Angst: The nature of Jill's outbursts and personal attacks against Aoi strongly implies that Jill is very upset about the small size of her breasts, and is also in deep denial about it. Jill refers to Aoi with names like "Godzilla Tits", and even threatens to cut her breasts off.
• Calling Card: She has a few distinctive ways of committing her murders. The first one is writing "BLOODBATH FEVER" or "BLOODLUST" behind her victims. The second calling card is crucifying the victim with specially-made scissors. The third sign is that her victims are all male, and Jill says she specifically only targets men with her murders. The latter two prove that Jill didn't murder Chihiro, because Chihiro was tied up with cables instead of crucified and Chihiro was presenting as female at the time of his death. (However, Jill admits once she finds out that Chihiro was crossdressing that she wishes she had killed him.)
• Character Catchphrase: "Roger, darling!" becomes a minor one.
• Chekhov's Gunman:
  • Is discussed by the students early on as a possible identity for the Mastermind. So of course Jill eventually shows up.
  • Following her reveal in Chapter 2, she mostly serves as comic relief. In Chapter 6, however, her Alternate Identity Amnesia ends up being used by Junko in the final trial where she's forced to explain The Tragedy to the students who don't remember anything. She only answers with what the students already know.
• Crazy Sane: Despite being a psychopathic serial killer, Jill has a better grasp of the situation she's in and what it means than most of the other students. She seems capable of thinking rationally about it precisely because her psychopathy means the constant murder and danger doesn't throw her off-balance. It's also probably why she hasn't been caught, despite committing so many murders - yes, she's a deranged, man-killing psychopath, but she plans everything down to the last minor detail.
• Do Wrong, Right: She's pissed that someone tried to frame her in the second case. Not because someone tried to imitate her calling cards, but because they did such a sloppy job of their imitation. Jill ends up going off on an extended tangent about her devotion to her serial-killer craft, where she compares herself to a master chef.
• The Dreaded: Part of the reason she survives as long as she does is because no one at Hope's Peak wants to tangle with a serial killer who's rumored to murder people in a horrific way. Even Monokuma is put off by Jill.
• Explosion Propulsion: When she tries to unmask the body in Chapter 5, the bomb rigged to destroy its face sends her flying. After a brief panic on the part of Aoi and Yasuhiro she reappears unharmed, just reverted to her normal personality.
• Good Feels Good: If she really enjoys her School Mode dates, Jill will happily tell Makoto that living the life of a non-serial-killer is rather enjoyable for her.
• Heroic BSoD: She reaches this point the same as everyone else in the final trial; even she finds herself disturbed by the degree of Junko's evil. With the hope given by Makoto, she decides to be more true to her wacky self: the self that wants to take the funnest path, hates going to school, and wants to follow Byakuya wherever he goes.
• Hormone-Addled Teenager: Even aside from her crush on Byakuya and habit of killing guys who she finds hot, Jill's a perv. She's quite interested in the yuri implications of Sakura and Aoi's friendship, and the gifts she likes include a porn magazine, underwear, and a vibrator.
• Hypocritical Humor: At one point, Genocide Jill complains about how all Hollywood films portray DID sufferers as murderous serial killers... despite being a murderous serial killer who has DID. Also, at the beginning of Chapter 3's trial, as Yasuhiro protests his innocence, she tells him to "Shut your murdering mouth, murderer!" Yasuhiro promptly calls her out.
• If I Can't Have You…: All of Jill's victims were men that Toko was infatuated with. This is very bad news for Byakuya... Or not. Not in the way that gets him killed, anyways: Jill's last Free Time Event reveals that Byakuya is the first man she's infatuated with who she doesn't want to kill.
• Informed Ability: Despite being a serial killer supposedly responsible for hundreds of deaths, she doesn't kill anyone during the despair game, not even Byakuya. She justifies this by pointing out that the whole purpose of Monokuma's game is to literally get away with murder. Killing anyone with her usual Calling Cards would be an incredibly stupid thing to do, and she simply doesn't want to kill people any other way. So Jill has decided that it would be best to just not kill anyone.
• Karma Houdini: She has a double-digit kill count prior to the killing game, but since she doesn't kill anyone in-game, she doesn't get executed and makes it to the end. Later material reveals that the Future Foundation tolerates her as long as she agrees to limit her violence to Monokuma robots. Thankfully, there are a lot of those around.
• Kids Are Cruel:
  • A Free Time event reveals that Toko's first crush posted her love letter to him on the wall so that all the other kids would mock her. When confronted about it, he admitted to her that he had always hated talking to her and made fun of her behind her back. Genocide Jill admits to having killed said former classmate at a later time.
  • In a similar vein, Toko also recounts a time where an eighth-grader asked her out, only to bail midway through the date as he had only asked her out on a dare.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: Since she and Toko do not share the same memories. Jill remembers things that Toko doesn't, including what "The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History" is. The reverse also holds true.
• Neat Freak: She complains that she has work harder to scrub herself clean because Toko Fukawa doesn't bathe regularly. Rather ironic for someone who writes a large message in blood with every murder she commits.
• Never My Fault: One of her bigger Jerkass moments sees her waking up and bashing Sakura over the head for merely trying to help her, and later blaming Sakura herself for getting hit.
• Nightmare Fetishist: She takes pride in her work as a serial killer; she loves looking at the murder scene of Chihiro, openly stating that she would have killed him had she known that Chihiro was actually a cross-dressing boy.
• Not Me This Time: After The Reveal that she's a Split Personality of Toko, Jill is accused of three different murders, and is responsible for none of them. Once all of her Calling Cards are introduced, it's an automatic out that Jill's not the killer. That being said, when Chihiro is revealed to be an attractive young man presenting as female, Jill finds that so hot that she admits she wishes she had killed him.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: It's incredibly jarring when Jill starts using a sane, indoor voice, and a sure sign that shit has really hit the fan.
• Other Me Annoys Me: She says that "Toko Fukawa's just a craptastic name I was born with", and Jill seems to consider Toko an annoyance. The switching between herself and Toko is treated by Jill as something she just has to live with.
• Overly-Long Tongue: Jill's tongue goes as low as her collarbone; certain portrait sprites make her tongue appear even longer. How she doesn't bite her tongue and manages to speak perfectly with her tongue hanging out is never so much as addressed. Most likely a reference to the Hindu Goddess Kali, which suits her to a "T".
• Pun: The English fan translation has her call herself a slasher... no, not like a serial killer, like somebody who's into slash fiction.
• Red Herring: Early on, Genocide Jill is suspected of being the mastermind behind Monokuma. When she actually appears, Monokuma himself confirms that it's not her. Furthermore, Jill neither kills anyone, nor is killed by anyone else due to her murderous ways.
• Varying Competency Alibi: During the trial for the murder of Chihiro, Byakuya proposes that Toko is the murderer due to her split personality in the form of Genocide Jack on account of the fact that Chihiro's body was mounted up hanging. However, Makoto is able to figure out that Genocide Jack is innocent in this due to how precise and specific she is with her killings as she kills with specially-made scissors and hangs her victims with said scissors while Chihiro was bludgeoned to death and hung using a power cord, along with the fact that Genocide Jack only kills men. Chihiro turns out to be a boy, but Genocide Jack didn't know that.
• You Didn't Ask: She does indeed remember the Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History. The reason why she never mentioned it before the last trial?
  I only answer questions when someone bothers to ask me! I'm the quiet type, ya know?

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

• Action Hero: Unlike the other heroes of the Danganronpa franchise, who solve their problems by using their intelligence and charisma, Jack solves her problems by slashing and stabbing everything that moves.
• Airplane Arms: She runs with her arms behind her back, each holding a pair of scissors, with a purple energy trail behind her.
• Bottomless Magazines: It's not explained where Jack keeps all those scissors that she fights with, but she'll never run out of them when fighting.
• Bullying the Dragon: It turns out, manipulating her and Toko, holding Byakuya hostage, and forcing Jack to fight Komaru were not the smartest moves on Servant's part. He ends up with both his legs slashed by an enraged Jack, who has to literally be held back from finishing him off.
• Call-Back: After Shirokuma's exploding, she gets sent flying backwards just like Chapter 5 of the first game, where Jack tried to unmask the corpse loaded with a Monokuma bomb. Once again, she's no worse for wear.
• Clothing Damage: Inflicts this when fighting human opponents.
• Dangerous Forbidden Technique: Jack taking control is this for Toko. Although Jack is an extremely capable fighter, she is still dangerous and isn't fully trusted by anyone. Not to mention, as a Superpowered Evil Side and a Split Personality, Toko has no control over what Jack does.
• Duel Boss: Jack fights against Komaru late in the story because Servant is forcing Jack's hand. As with every other opponent she faces, Jack is invincible; the only way to win is to just wait until her timer runs out.
• Energy Ball: One of her special attacks is a bizarre Spirit Bomb-like energy attack. She even says "lend me your energy!"
• Foil: Jack is a sociopath and a serial killer; Komaru is an empathetic Ordinary High-School Student.
• Friendship Moment: Her friendship with Komaru and her promise with Byakuya is enough to make her abstain from killing Servant.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: During a cutscene, she throws a pair of scissors several yards and nails a Monokuma between the eyes, breaking it instantly.
• Limit Break: Her Slash Lust abilities are built up by a gauge. It's also possible to use a move where she sacrifices three scissors in the gauge to kill up to five enemies on-screen.
• Ninja Run: Her dash is the Airplane Arms variation.
• Nominal Hero: She might be on Komaru's side, but Jack is still a violent mass murderer at heart. Jack openly fantasises about killing people and being excessively violent. The only reason she doesn't kill anyone else is because she won't be let into Future Foundation if she does, which would mean that she won't get to see Byakuya anymore.
• The Nose Knows: She's able to detect Komaru's scent still lingering in her empty cell.
• Out of Focus: In the original game, Jack got just as much screentime as Toko after she first appeared. In this game, Jack gets notably less screen time, due to the Character Focus Toko gets. Jack is still an important character, just not as important as Komaru or Toko.
• Promoted to Playable: She goes from a peripheral survivor in Trigger Happy Havoc to the secondary playable character in Ultra Despair Girls.
• Save the Villain: Saves Kotoko from her execution, although that's to interrogate her about Byakuya's location.
• Scary Shiny Glasses: From time to time, most notably when Jack is trying to hide how she feels from Komaru. Jack doesn't really want to admit that she's growing rather attached to Komaru, even after betraying her for Byakuya. The glasses shining in such a way never happens with Toko.
• Smart Bomb: Her stronger Slash Lust attacks will usually clear the screen.
• Thou Shalt Not Kill: She is not allowed to kill humans. Doing so would ban Toko from ever joining the Future Foundation, and thus seeing her master Byakuya again. So, Jack reigns it in. That being said, she still slices up Servant's legs and openly opines that she wants to kill him, and also threatens Komaru with death shortly after they meet unless Komaru divulges Byakuya's location. So Jack only reigns it in so far.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend: This girl's on a mission to rescue her "lover", Byakuya. Anyone else who gets in her way is in big trouble. That includes Komaru, as Toko says that she'll kill her if Komaru ends up between Toko and her master. Jack shares the sentiment, which leads to a boss fight.
• You Are Already Dead: Several of her Fever effects will have this reaction from the Monokuma she's practicing on.
