Broadwaydespair is a Danganronpa based roleplay group that takes place on Tumblr. It can be found here
. It ran up until Chapter 4 in 2015.
Our performance takes place at Broadway Watarigarasu, where 16 students are headed for a field trip to learn about the theater via invitation. Upon entering the Broadway, they are prompted to gather in the theater where they are told that the only way to get out of the Broadway was to kill another student and get away with it! Will these 16 talented students manage to make it out alive, or will they put on the performance of their lives?
[Broadway Despair] contains examples of:
- Affectionate Parody: Magical Girl Tadanuki◊ is one to the Pretty Cure series, of which he's a big fan of.
- And Your Reward Is Clothes: The prize for solving the first class trial was the reveal of area two, which involved costumes galore.
- Berserk Button: Do not, under any circumstances, call Yuudai "Hot Wheels".
- Boisterous Weakling: Mikhail often brag about their ability to hold their own in physical confrontation, when really they couldn't hurt someone to save their life.
- Class Trip: They were only supposed to go to visit Broadway Waterigarasu for a couple of hours to learn about the theater.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: Tadakuni is a male example, being a dorky boy who constantly falls and trips, and has to watch where he's going. He also managed to drop his open backpack, sending medications everywhere.
- Good Is Not Nice: Yuudai isn't a bad person, but he is kind of an asshole.
- Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Amaya often uses such words to express her feelings since she's not a fan of swearing.
- Gratuitous French: Jeanne tends to slip into French when upset or flustered.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Mikhail has a nasty temper that could be set off at the slightest offhanded comment.
- Limited Wardrobe: Since all of the students were just planning on a trip to the theater for a couple of hours, none of them brought a spare change of clothes. Though, when costumes are added, this is less of a problem.
- Luminescent Blush: Remember the second trial when some of the students ended up stripping? And Natsumi just happened to be amongst those who took off their shirts? Amaya's face reached a tomato red blush.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Sansaku's reaction to the first execution was to say it was awesome.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Tadanuki goes by the diminutive Tada, and is never called by his full name.
- Oral Fixation: Mikhail has quite a Sweet Tooth, and is often seen with a lollipop.
- Plucky Girl: Despite breaking down more than once, Natsumi's quick to rebound and try to be positive.
- The Power of Friendship: Tadakuni believes that if everyone gets along, then they'll all escape together. His hopes and dreams get more and more crushed with each passing trial.
- Shy Finger-Twiddling: Amaya always keeps her hands busy out of nervousness.
- Wacky Homeroom: There’s a large variety of characters, including, but not limited to: an extreme sports star, a genesist, a mangaka, a gardener, and many more.
- Working Through the Cold: Tada works through all his sicknesses as if they're nothing. But that just makes it worse.
