* Disagree: While Junko is *Like* a EldrichAbomination in the sense that her motives of despair fetishism and addiction just "can't" be comprehended by normal humans, I do think that she's more human than she lets on. She DID genuinely love Mukuro, Matusuda and 78. She just had to fuck them up in the worst way possible thanks to her sadomasochistic narcissism that's in turn caused by her SHSL talent. ([=DR0=] HEAVILY implies this before being outright stated in Dr3.) This troper view's it as more of her own talent making her GoMadFromTheRevelation. AND EVEN THEN: Intelligence is not the be all end all definiting trait for a person's personality. Even the most analytical of people is still completely shaped by their life experiences. Kamukura's lack of personality stims less from being omnitalented and more from not having any previous life. Junko, on the other hand, lived enough of a life in specific conditions to have personal opinions, emotions and a personal set of principles she's adherent to. And I do believe it's possible to firmly remain good even with Junko's kind of brain. This is not a Danganronpa example, but Danganronpa is so openly inspired by {{Manga}}/MedakaBox that I think [[ParodySue Medaka Kurokami]] is a perfectly valid as examples of what a "good" Junko would like.

So, that begs one question for anyone who randomly encounters it: Why put in so much effort for just some sexual content? Why not just make it one flashing image instead of something continuous with the characters even speaking during it?

No, not ''[[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc that]]'' Makoto—[[ThisLoserIsYou the other one.]] It'll be a massive dose of BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor for him.

* Ultimate Secretary (known to be held by a character in ''LightNovel/DanganronpaTogami'', whose eventual fate isn't known)

Throughout each game's investigation and trial, the respective convicted killer of the case acts subtly more suspicious than the other students, which is a result of the trauma they receive from Monokuma's threatening class trial rules. Or, additionally, they could already be presenting themselves as a potential killer that's easy to provoke into murdering throughout the entire chapter they attempt to kill or succeed in killing another participant in. One of V3's rules could already show an exception to entire proposal not being a possibility by making one of its rules "Monokuma is not allowed to participate in a murder", but with Monokuma's entire existence, private action, and personality still being ambiguous and grey even after the last chapter and personality of a particular instalment, he could participate in a murder without even the convicted killer knowing themselves. Actually, to be ''more'' elaborate by adding the possibility of V3's mastermind secretly causing each trial to be incurred, Danganronpa V3 as a whole can convice the player that the burden of a class trial is truly always instigated by Tsumugi Shirogane herself and never, ever the conivicts aware of their own murder executed by forced majority vote Leon Kuawata, Mondo Owada, Celestia Ludenberg/Taeko Yasuhiro, ''even Junko Enoshima the 1st'', Teruteru Hanamura, Peko Pekoyama, Mikan Tsumiki, Gundham Tanaka, possibly Kaede Akamatsu and/or Tsumugi Shirogane herself, Kirumi Tojo, Korekiyo Shinguji, Gonta Gokuhara, and Kaito Momota...except for that same game's fifth case. Monokuma, after 12 or 844 straightforward murder cases not having any direct effect on him finally had one of his party-blaming gambits corrupted by one of the able-bodied, slyer participants, Kokichi Oma. What contributes more to the extra possibility of the mastermind of V3's Truman Show edition ''actually'' committing every murder UpToEleven is that a murder is '''always''' committed when the Daily Life sequences are also UpToEleven, when a situation becomes such a problem that it loops and can only be broken by a trial.

* Ultimate Accountant

* Ultimate Music Producer

Since there's 16 students, there are some pupils that act as past students. maybe cause of flanderaztion

for example, for example, Teruteru is a copied from Hifumi's DNA, Kokichi from Nagito's DNA.

The number of these moments goes into the double digits throughout the entire series. Just considering [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc all]] [[{{VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair}} of]] [[{{VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls}} the]] [[{{VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony}} visual novels]] only chocks it up to about 15 moments, and that's just in the value of the computer graphics. There are, additionally, entire sprites involving characters giving orgasm, not as a joke but in an ironic manner of speaking. Keep in mind, both of these image types had to be completely '''''drawn by someone''''' for the moment. Someone had to sketch them, and put in the effort to draw the characters without clothing, all of their figures, and illustrate the texture of their skin when undressed.

** ''Zero'' confirms that it ''is'' possible for Junko to be good (or at least neutral), as [[spoiler: Ryoko Otanoshi is weird and somewhat callous, but remains moral and chooses hope over despair, despite being an amnesiac Junko.]]

[[folder:Danganronpa V3, Pre-Release]]
[[WMG:The third game will have another NostalgiaLevel set in Hope's Peak]]
So let's set the scenario: the Future Foundation needs information about their enemy, the followers of despair. The problem is that the Tragedy has left communications and recon around the world in shambles, and any scouts they send out to the areas still affected by Despair never make it back alive. Thus, they come up with a new plan: help the 6 survivors regain their memories, and find out what was going on inside the academy in the months and weeks leading up to the Tragedy. Using an early version of the Neo World Program designed specifically to undue memory tampering, the 6 go through a series of sessions where they relay what they find to the Foundation doctors[[note]]obviously many of these sessions wouldn't hold any useful information, but you wouldn't be playing those particular sessions[[/note]]. Perhaps you could {{retcon}} that e-mail Hajime found to mean that they've regained ''some'' of their memories without necessarily regaining all of them (the Foundation might even have written that to throw off any Despairs that might intercept their e-mails).

Because Hope's Peak was so private, these memories become key to finding out where the last of the Despair followers might be hiding, finding out what Junko and her people might have been planning, or if you treat this mode as an interquel between Danganronpa 1 and 2, finding out what the Remnants of Despair are up to. Playing through these memories much like the [[Franchise/AssassinsCreed Animus]], you start out as one of the survivors walking through the halls of Hope's Peak, and seeing students from your own class, the Jabberwok group and whatever new group this third game focuses on (you might even run into fellow survivors). Inbetween heading wherever the survivor you're playing as was going that day, you have a series of seemingly inconsequential conversations with the other students [[CrypticConversation that turn out to hold vital information]] knowing what you now know, which would show up on your screen as Truth Bullets. This essentially plays out like an investigation where the memory ends in a Climax Inference/Closing Statement that lets the player put together what they've learned. The memory could end as you speak to key people that become available to speak to after you've gathered the other Truth Bullets, such as Mukuro, Headmaster Kirigiri, or even Junko herself.

These memory restoring sessions would unlock as the player finishes chapters in the game much like Usami's extra mode, in a girl-boy format. In Chapter 1 you'd play as Toko, and then Yasuhiro to Aoi, Byakuya, Kyoko and finally Makoto in the last chapter. The ultimate point is to fill out exactly how the survivors regained their memories, perhaps deepen the game's lore or push the plot forward, and to find out what sort of relationships the students might have had during their time at Hope's Peak (perhaps Yasuhiro avoided Gundam due to his dislike of the occult, or Byakuya could have been one of the Ultimates that mistreated Hajime for being from the Reserve Course).
** Partially confirmed: it's a post-game bonus life sim/board game mode called the Ultimate Talent Development Plan.

[[WMG:The big twist in the third game will involve the protagonist actually being Junko herself.]]
There's a pretty clear progression in the protagonists of the games, especially if one used the in-universe chronological order.

* Dangan Ronpa - Ultimate Lucky Student who is utterly ordinary in every other way and is declared Ultimate Hope at the end of the game.
* Dangan Ronpa: Another Story - Utterly ordinary girl who is not "ultimate" in any way, becomes recognized as a symbol of hope, but has potential to become the "successor" to the Ultimate Despair instead.
* Super Dangan Ronpa 2 - Utterly ordinary Reserve Class student who is later revealed to be the official Ultimate Hope who later becomes the Ultimate Despair's right hand man.

The next logical place for it to go is to make the protagonist ''the'' Ultimate Despair herself. The game will start with a flashback of several Remnants of Despair willingly going into the Neo World Program to be cured, but the protagonist's face will be hidden in the image just like Junko was in the photos from the first game. As the game proceeds, the characters will get more and more of their original memories back, ultimately leading to reveal that the protagonist is actually another Alter Ego Junko, which Future Foundation is running experiments on to find a way to counteract her despair in the event that another Ultimate Despair (including other digital copies of Junko) should arise in the real world.

Besides all that, it's only way to top the MindScrew of the second game's ending.
** The problem is Dangan Ronpa Zero already did that. If not for that, I could believe it.
** Jossed; Junko's only involvement is as a disguise of Tsumugi's.

[[WMG: Danganronpa V3 will not feature any of the past characters from the first, second, and even in Ultra Despair Girls.]]
It's been stated that the Danganronpa 3 series would be split into two different things, an anime, then a game. The anime seems to be "ending the Hope's Peak story", so perhaps none will appear in the video game adaption
* It's a sequel to Danganronpa 2, but something new for the series. ("new" meaning the game version will have a different storyline, and the anime as stated above ends the "Hope's Peak storyline").
* Jossed (in spirit), as every character from Danganronpa 1 and 2 reappear in V3's last trial while Tsumugi goes on her roleplaying spree.

[[WMG: The next game in the series will be an AlternateContinuity]]
It'll be the beginning of a new sub-series called ''Danganronpa: Distrust.'' It'll have the unused Trust mechanic from the ''DISTRUST'' prototype. How it would work is that during Free Time Events, you can either make a potential Blackened reconsider their actions or have a future victim save themselves.
* Partially confirmed. It isn't in the Hope's Peak continuity, but there's no Trust mechanic.

[[folder:Danganronpa S, Pre-Release]]
[[WMG: Characters from Danganronpa 3 Future Arc will make a surprise guest appearance in Danganronpa S]]
While the anime series that closed off the Hope's Peak Series was controversial for many reasons, it would be nice to see some of the characters from there to make one final appearance in a scenario where they did not have to go through the Final Killing Game.
