I\\\'ll start from the end. The manga doesn\\\'t \\\"reveal\\\" anything, it\\\'s an AdaptationalSelfDefence and establishes nothing for the game continuity. The fact that he GOT AdaptationalSelfDefence in the manga suggests that he\\\'s meant to be seen sympathetically in this continuity. Secondly, he DOESN\\\'T get painted as someone who deserved to die. After his execution, everyone is horrified. Him not knowing about the class trials at the time doesn\\\'t mean much when he showed no remorse and not once seemed to be considering saving his classmates. Sayaka couldn\\\'t have lied about the incident because Leon had a note proving she lured him in. And the fact that he had to return for the toolkit and went out of his way to murder a defenseless girl pretty much throws any moral high ground he might have out of the window.
** Sayaka. We\\\'re supposed to feel sorry for her because Leon killed her, but that doesn\\\'t excuse the fact that she attempted to murder him and planned on framing Makoto for it.
Brought from UnintentionallyUnsympathetic. The fact that she tried to kill Leon is acknowledged in the game. It\\\'s also acknowledged that she wouldn\\\'t do it if it wasn\\\'t for the motivational video. Sayaka being deliberately flawed does NOT qualify for this trope.
Thie biggest issue is that the case is a rather clear GrayAndGreyMorality and people seem to be insistent on hammering it into black and white or insisting that the game tries to do it. Both Sayaka and Leon are good people who made mistakes because of the pressure of the killing game, but as Makoto points out, it\\\'s the GAME that\\\'s wrong, not them. The only true villain of this case is Monokuma.
