Go To

Bunronpa is a Danganronpa fan-roleplay hosted by Discord user bun.

Part 1: Sixteen (later seventeen) find themselves trapped in a casino, and are told a simple task: If they want to leave, they must kill one of their fellow participants and get away with it. With their lives being betted, they must roll the dice and figure out a way to escape, and deduce the blackeneds when they commit a murder.

Cast of Bunronpa 1.5+1

The first RP contains the following tropes:

  • Anyone Can Die: As a Danganronpa roleplay, this is expected.
    • Chapter 1: sees Meowth finishing off a fatally wounded Pico.
    • Chapter 2: has Senpai remove the bandages of a wounded Chongyun, killing him via blood loss.
    • Chapter 3: has Kris accidentally kill Monika in self-defense, before Natsumi kills them out of fear via lethal injection.
    • Chapter 4: has Kronk attempt suicide and the trap he builds causes the death of Penny via him forgetting a detail in the plan.
    • Chapter 5: has Homura and Apollo make a plan to end the Killing Game via making an unsolvable murder with Apollo as the victim.
  • Battering Ram: To get into Apollo's room, Tenko and Makoto decide to break the door down. . . by using Ranma. Homura even displays embitteredness in being left out of this motion.
    Homura, bitterly: I would've liked to be a part of this plot.
  • Berserk Button: Ranma dislikes it whenever someone refers to his pigtail as a ponytail. He usually reacts with annoyedly correcting them or at some points yelling in anger.
  • Being Good Sucks: Could apply to several moments to several characters, but it is most prominent in the final trial. This is because the survivors (minus Makoto) choose to leave their home worlds behind in order to protect the world from Lusamine. They don't get to see any of their families or friends again in order to do what is right. F.
  • Big Brother Instinct: Ranma develops this bond with Chongyun, due to similar interests and relating to one another. Chongyun is also usually the one to comfort Ranma whenever he's upset. . . Which is why Chongyun's death in Chapter 2 leaves Ranma less than pleased and wanting to find the culprit to break their legs.
  • Big Guy Fatality Syndrome: Much like the canon series, Kronk is the Big Guy of the group, and ends up dying in Chapter Four like Sakura, Nekomaru, and Gonta in the canon Danganronpa game.
  • Born Unlucky: Ringo is already this in her source, but it gets taken to the extreme here. Although chaos doesn't follow her every footstep, she is part of the discovering team of most bodies, and happened to be present near evidence at the time of an equal amount of murders.
    Damnit, why does every funny thing Ringo laughs at have to be interrupted by reality?
  • Break the Cutie: Penny just can't catch a break, man. From the moment she enters the medbay with Kris trying (and failing) to whip up some medicine for him, things just get worse from there all the way up until her death.
  • The Cameo: Take your pick. Every participant (save Makoto) has a captive tied to them for the first and fourth motives. Each of the survivors also has a Rebuttal Showdown opponent the mastermind pulls in to try to convince them to stay in their utopia. Combine this with Gundham running the Dark Maze and there being multiple more characters in both that and the Metaverse Arena, and... yeah.
  • Cannot Spit It Out: Though two sides of the Love Triangle (Penny/Tenko and Ringo/Tenko) manage to let the other side know how they feel, the third side (Penny/Ringo) only exchanges some indirect, potentially non-romantic banter, despite both of them truly caring for each other deep down. This is finally averted in Chapter 4... as Penny dies.
  • Crossover Ship: A few of the participants ended up ending up with one another. Only one pair remained complete.
  • Deadpan Snarker: Plenty of the cast is full of these, but Ranma usually has an insult or sarcastic phrase to say.
    Natsumi: What, want me to start sharing my life story with you now? Should I get you some warm milk now?
    Ranma: No thanks, the only cow here is an absolute bitch to be around.
    Chomper, OOC: GOD DAMN RANMA'S ULTIMATE SHOULD OF BEEN THE ULTIMATE ROASTER
  • Destroy the Security Camera: In Chapter Five, Makoto uses a magic item that does elemental damage, won from her fight with Nagito Komeada, on the security camera room guard. Once she convinces him to her side, she turns off the cameras from the control room.
  • Died in Your Arms Tonight: Ringo comes across Penny's still alive and fatally wounded body, and holds her up until her death.
    Penny, dying: ...I... I can't... I... I feel... nngh... need to live... need to survive...gasping for breath Kronk... S-star... Ranma... for everyone.... f-for you... a-a-and f..fo... forrr.... t...Ten... ko... ...have t...to... T-tell her... te... tell y-you... I... I lo.... I l....
    Ringo: ...No. Nonononono, Penny, PENNY! WAKE UP, PENNY! WAKE UP! PLEASE, PLEASE! PENNYYYY! PENNY, NOOO!
  • Distracted by the Sexy: Chapter 3 shuffles bodies of the game's cast with those in Super Danganronpa Another 2. Penny, finding herself taking Setsuka's form, has her lesbian awakening shortly after and spends a chunk of the chapter swooning over the forms Ranma (Yoruko), Kronk (Kokoro), Star (Emma) and herself have taken.
  • Does Not Know His Own Strength: During Chapter 3, everyone was put in the virtual world on the Monocruise, using the avatars of the participants of that killing game. Kris was put in the body of Hajime Makunouchi. As such, they accidentally kill Monika in self-defense when the latter tried to kill them.
  • Driven to Suicide: When it's revealed Makoto's forbidden action will result in the group's death, Kronk attempts this in order to save everyone. Penny stops him from going through with it, but. . .
  • Gender Bender: Ranma Saotome's curse invokes this, being triggered by different levels of temperature of water. This has earned him the nickname "Warrior of Twin Sexes" courtesy of Gundham Tanaka.
  • Genius Bruiser: Surprisingly, Ranma shows some signs of being this every now and again. While nowhere near as smart as Makoto and Ringo, he attempts to help figure things out during the class trial, even finding out some things such as Akechi and Shadow Sae not knowing who the culprit was in 1-5, and in the same trial figured the cause of death was air embolism brought on by injecting air bubbles into Apollo's veins. Akechi even lampshades this at times.
    Akechi: ...I suppose I didn't give you enough credit, Saotome. And here I figured your brawn outweighed your brains several times over. Fine, you're correct. Neither I, nor Niijima's shadow know the culprit's identity, as of yet.
  • Heroic BSoD: A lot of reactions to the deaths are heart wrenching. Honorable mention goes to Tenko and Ringo after the death of Penny.
    Ringo, holding Penny's dead body: GET AWAY! SOMEONE DID THIS TO HER! GET AWAY! STAY BACK! ALL OF YOU!
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Though by group decision, Ringo ends up accepting Homura's curse in Chapter 4, to prevent the Magical Girl from turning witch. This actually has more drastic consequences for the group than expected- especially to Penny, who only remains alive after the fact due to Ringo herself intervening.
  • I Cannot Self-Terminate: One of Penny's musings to Tenko during Chapter 4, as, having just experienced what it's like to be mortal, she fears her synthetic body will outlast the others, Tenko and Ringo especially, to an extent where it will be unbearable. She asks if Tenko would be all right with having a kill switch for her in her older years so they won't have to be separated by death. In any case, it turns out she doesn't have to worry about outlasting them after all.
  • If Only You Knew: When the NG Codes prevents Penny from making physical contact with others, Ringo comforts her by promising "when this is over, I'll give you the biggest hug ever." Guess it wasn't that much of a lie...
    • Doubles as Harsher in Hindsight because at this time, not even the writers knew Penny would die this way!
  • Innocently Insensitive: When Tenko mentions how she hasn't had food so good since Kirumi couldn't cook anymore, she was subtly referring to the maid's death. Unfortunately, this went over Ringo's head.
    Ringo: ...Did something happen to the kitchen?
  • Last Kiss: Homura gives her own version of this to Makoto before the formers execution.
    Homura, at the end of her trial: Makoto...when...I....since the day we were stuck together because of the bracelets,I...I-I...It...may be more useful to use actions for this.
  • Lights Off, Somebody Dies: This occurs in Chapter Five, where Homura cuts the lights to the whole casino, before going to kill Apollo. It turned out to be less about beating the game, and more so that We Need a Distraction.
  • Locked Room Mystery: A body is found in the victim's own dorm room, which has been noted to contain no windows, and a door that only locks from the inside. Turns out, the victim, Apollo Justice, was in on the plan, and was the one who locked the door as he was dying.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Penny spends the early stages of Chapter 3 in this mindset after nearly killing Tenko in a moment of weakness.
    • This happens again in the next chapter when Penny votes for Ringo to take Homura's role of a Magical Girl in a mutual gamble to save Tenko, and Ringo "wins" the vote.
  • No Romantic Resolution: Even after they end up in a healthy polyamorous relationship with Tenko, Penny and Ringo keep dancing around their feelings for each other - save for some uncertain indirect "I love you"s without ever confirming their relationship... until Penny dies in Ringo's arms.
  • Oh, Crap!: Ringo has this reaction when Akechi reveals that even the ones controlling the game do not know who the culprit is in Case 5.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Tenko comes to absolutely despise Kanade when she figures out just how much of a horrible person she truly is. Ranma even mentally notes this.
    Tenko: Tenko does not think. She knows. Otonokoji is not worthy to be called human, let alone woman. Tenko does not believe anyone deserves death… but if she were thrown into a cell and kept their for the rest of her days Tenko would shed no tears. She is vile. Repulsive. Disgusting. Degenerate.
    Ranma, to himself: For a moment, Ranma's actually stunned silent. Tenko actually despising a woman. Sweet baby Jesus, just how bad is Kanade? He knows she's a textbook sociopath, but if she's that bad that even Tenko hates her, then hoo boy.
  • Poor Communication Kills: In chapter 4, Penny tries to turn off Kronk's bomb, not realizing it wasn't even turned on in the first place. As a result, she instead ignited it and was killed by the blast.
  • Precision F-Strike: Ringo employs this upon meeting the mastermind.
    Ringo: ...Hey, I've been waiting to meet you just to say this. Fuck you and everything you stand for, bitch.
    Lusamine: ...An understandable sentiment, for sure.
  • Robot Girl: Penny.
  • Room Full of Crazy: Evoked by Ringo starting at Chapter 3. Although she doesn't act in a typically erratic nature, it's made somewhat clear with this that she has a few screws loose due to the killing game. She claims she is trying to mathematically predict the likeliness of murders and victims. Due to the NG codes, she enlists Apollo's help with cleaning her room as her forbidden action prevents her from utilizing math.
  • Rube Goldberg Hates Your Guts: When attempting to sacrifice himself to save everyone, Kronk attempts to off himself using a portable stove and gunpowder as a means of suicide.
  • Secret-Keeper: Penny becomes this to Kokichi in Chapter 4 - while he told Tenko that the Killing Game ended after she died, he never specified when, so she's left to believe that all 9 remaining participants were alive. Penny is the only participant to learn this - Tenko never does- and she swears to never tell her crush/girlfriend. Fittingly, it's a secret she takes to her grave.
  • Sensory Overload: Ringo suffers from this often due to her 20/4 vision. This was especially relevant at the very beginning of Chapter 4, right when they were let out of the simulation and Ringo was swiftly taken from 20/20 vision to 20/4 vision. She gets immediately overwhelmed by the lights and ends up a screaming mess on the floor.
  • Shipper on Deck: Homura is this to Keith and Apollo.
  • Slashed Throat: How Meowth killed Pico. He used his claws to slash open Pico's throat.
  • Spared by the Adaptation: Tenko Chabashira ends up as one of the six survivors of the killing game, where in her killing game, she died alongside Angie at Korekiyo's hands.
  • Spooky Séance: Although one never happens in this game, Tenko occasionally recalls the seance at which she died.
  • Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: During their fight with one another, Ranma decides to go full out and quit holding some of his strength in order to knock out Tenko after she sustained a lot of injuries during the battle. Given that while Ranma isn't as strong as he normally is in his canon, he's still strong enough to break a boulder. The aikidoka instinctively protects her head with her arm, resulting in it breaking her arm. Ranma quickly reacts in horror and guilt over what happened.
  • What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Penny manages to inflict this upon herself.
