Killing Game Deluxe is a Danganronpa webcomic started by crazyforkuwata and furryfortress2 and can be found here
, with the first post being found here.
The story follows Leon Kuwata, who is surprised to find that he survived his canon execution. He learns that all of the students from the past killing games, dead or alive, have all been brought back for one final killing game by Monokuma. If he wants to avoid death again, Leon has to navigate through the much larger cast, the trials and Monokuma to escape the school...and discover how exactly he's still alive.

Killing Game Deluxe contains examples of the following tropes
- Actor Allusion: Leon notes that he and Shuichi sound exactly the same.
- Ascended Extra: Leon, the first killer of Trigger Happy Havoc, is the lead character this time.
- Back from the Dead: Everyone who died has somehow been brought back from the dead.
- Birds of a Feather: Several platonic examples.
- Kaede, Sayaka and Ibuki all bond rather quickly over their musical talents.
- Kokichi and Hiyoko become friends over being tiny Jerkasses. It was a lie on Kokichi's part.
- Copycat Crime: This is ultimately what clears Mikan's name in the first trial. Leon notes that Hiyoko was found dead using the same method Mikan used to kill her originally. If she wanted to kill Hiyoko again, why do it in the same way as she did in the past?
- Dies Wide Open: Hiyoko's eyes are open when her body is found.
- Driving Question: How exactly are the dead students alive again?
- Et Tu, Brute?:
- Mahiru is horrified when she realizes that Mikan was Hiyoko's killer in their first killing game.
- Makoto and Kaede are not happy when they realize Sayaka was Hiyoko's killer.
- Foreshadowing: There are several clues pointing to the first killer.
- The victim (Hiyoko) is found in the exact same position as Sayaka was when her body was discovered.
- Sayaka is one of the few people who don't actually know what a trial entails and what happens if a killer manages to get away
- Hiyoko is a weaker student, and the reason that Sayaka was killed in their original killing game was because they were overpowered by their would be target.
- Hate at First Sight: Leon quickly decides he hates Kokichi shortly after meeting him.
- Manly Tears: Leon finds Mondo and Taka sobbing their eyes out after reuniting.
- Never My Fault: Sayaka treats Leon like a cold blooded killer, which would be understandable, seeing as he did kill her. Only she's completely ignoring the fact that the only reason he killed her was because she tried to kill him first.
- Not Me This Time: Junko cheerfully confirms that she has nothing to do with this Killing Game and has no clue what is going on either.
- Rapid-Fire "No!": Aoi reacts this way when she realizes that she going to be stuck in another killing game.
- Slashed Throat: How Hiyoko was killed.
- Ship Tease: Leon and Kazuichi bond right off the bat, with Leon noticeably blushing when Kazuichi calls him bro. When Sayaka drives him into a Heroic BSoD, Kazuichi manages to convince him not to let her get to him and when they enter the elevator together, they are holding hands.
- Shout-Out: When a glass thrown by Mondo almost hit Byakuya, Byakuya quotes Squidward saying "Too bad that didn't kill me."
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: All of the past killers find themselves facing classmates who are not forgiving of their actions. Himiko outright tries to attack Korekiyo for killing Tenko and Angie, while Sayaka uses Leon's status as her killer to drive him into a Heroic BSoD and to turn the others against him.
- Tears of Joy: Mikan is so overjoyed by Leon defending her during the first trial that she starts crying.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Due to her status as the Mastermind and the Ultimate Despair being revealed, the only people who actually like Junko are Mukuro, Tsumugi and possibly Mikan.
