Natsumi has been moved to Hope's Peak


[[folder: Natsumi Kuzuryu]]
* AchillesHeel: Her Koa'ki Meiru deck: Even though it plenty of her monsters are very strong stat-wise and have powerful effects, all of them requite the discard of the Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru Spell or the reveal of another monster with the same Type as theirs in order to sustain themselves otherwise they get destroyed. Same can be said for the archetype's Spells/Traps that are powerful and potent, but need the Iron Core of Koa'ki Meiru to even function and are thus useless without it.
* AmicableExes: She and Joey used to date back in middle school, and though they still bicker when they meet again, it's light-hearted. [[spoiler:Until she reveals she's working with Dartz.]]
* TheBully: To Sato and Mahiru.
* CompositeCharacter:
** She takes up the character and role Mai Valentine took during the Orichalcos arc in ''Yu-Gi-oh!'' canon - as a female duelist suffering with feelings of insecurity when compared to her peers who makes a [[spoiler: DealWithTheDevil with Dartz for more power]] and directly opposes (and has some ShipTease with) Joey. Case in point: The duel where Joey obtains Hermos is even in the same area and moment where he dueled Mai in canon.
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Strikes one with Dartz in Chapter 62 to save her life.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: She makes an early appearance as a one-off contestant for Ibuki to defeat, before becoming much more important once [[spoiler:Twilight Syndrome and the Orichalcos arc]] start.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Dons a biker chick type of costume, following her FaceHeelTurn to the Orichalcos. [[spoiler: Keeps the look (and motorcycle) after tuning good and moving to America.]]
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:Courtesy of Dartz for the Orichalcos arc.]]
* GreenEyedMonster: She admits to Hajime that, while she's happy [[spoiler:he got to move to the Main Course]], she's jealous that it was ''him'' and not her.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Brother!]]: [[spoiler:Disowns Fuyuhiko as her brother when he refuses to join Doma. She takes it back after Dartz is defeated.]]
* IJustWantToBeLoved: In chapter 77, she laments that every guy she's had the hots for never liked her back, or eventually broke up with her. [[spoiler:It's even implied that one of them is Hajime]].
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Like Hajime, she dearly desires to have an Ultimate talent and be in the Main Course.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: She acts all arrogant and oppressive, but for the most part it is to hide the her insecurities and frustrations of always being overshadowed and looked down upon by others around her whether it be Ultimates or even from within her own clan.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's abrasive and even bullies Sato, but she's also a good friend to Hajime, having encouraged him into going to the tournament with Chiaki in the first place.
* PrecociousCrush: Seems to be having a small one for Valon if Chapter 70 is any indication.
* ShipperOnDeck: Chapter 62 reveals she's one for Hajime/Chiaki.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In DR canon, she's murdered by Sato. Here, Dartz interferes and grants her the power of the Orichalcos, saving her life at the cost of a FaceHeelTurn. After being stripped of the Orichalcos magic, her head injury reappears, though it's nowhere near as bad as when she was hit, and she survives. Afterwards (having been kicked out of Hope's Peak and losing a finger to her family), she moves to America with Alistair and Valon to help build the American branch of Hope's Peak.]]
* TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget: [[spoiler:Implied; she accepts Dartz's offer to save her life, but later starts seeking revenge on Ibuki for beating her in Battle City. She also would have gone after Mahiru if Hiyoko hadn't beaten her to the punch. Most damningly, she disowns her beloved brother when he refuses to join her.]]
* VillainousFriendship: Strikes one up with Alistair and Valon while working for Dartz. [[spoiler: They stay friends after Dartz's defeat, traveling to America together.]]
* {{Yubitsume}}: [[spoiler:Working for Dartz ends up costing her a finger after she's back to normal]].

Got moved to Hope's Peak - Class 77-A


[[folder: Yasuhiro Hagakure]]
* ButtMonkey: Arguably more so than in canon.
* CurbstompBattle: Was on a ''huge'' receiving end of this, courtesy of Sonia.
* DemotedToExtra: Probably ''the'' biggest example out of every character in the series. Unlike the other ''Danganronpa 1'' characters who have had a chapter or two where they were featured, Hagakure merely gets a brief scene or two before disappearing from the story completely and in such an undignified matter at that. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Prologue reveals that his spot in the first game's killing game/story and Class 78 is filled out by Yugi instead thus eliminating any remaining relevancy he would have had left.
* KickedUpstairs: To get him out of the way, the author retconned the numerous times he was held back in school (or at least some of them), thus letting him get into Hope's Peak a few years earlier than anyone relevant to the story.

[[folder: Espa Roba]]

Chiaki's former schoolmate and current rival. A student council president and a powerful combatant.

Then there's also her reaction upon hearing that Hajime has the Black Luster Soldier. [[spoiler: And her reactions to seeing that Chiaki's pregnant, married, still considers her a friend, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and is willing to share whom she mains in Blazing Emblem]].]]
* BootsOfToughness: Is described as wearing knee-high hard leather black boots, and would ''need'' to be a strong duelist/gamer to serve as a rival to Chiaki.
* {{Expy}}: Of [[Manga/FairyTail Erza Scarlet]] as WordOfGod admits to.
* FieryRedhead: Has long, flowing red hair and can get very fierce and intense when competing.
* FriendlyRival: To Chiaki in terms of Duel Monsters and gaming in general, when the two weren't competing with one another, they were hanging around for lunch or to share how one another was doing. Even after Chiaki transferred to Hope's Peak the two try to stay in touch. [[spoiler: She ''would've'' been invited to Chiaki's wedding, but it was strictly a 'class members only' event.]]
-->'''Chiaki:''' Even if we're no longer attending the same school, I still consider you a friend.
* GracefulLoser: Despite never being able to defeat Chiaki in Duel Monsters or in gaming, Eliza never let it consume her as she continued to challenge Chiaki over and over not caring that she lost every time - a sharp contrast from many of the other people Chiaki has faced in the past who believed winning was everything to them, and who only ended up succumbing to despair and/or going down darker paths in their desire to defeat her. She also acts this way towards Hajime after losing to him during the first part of the Battle City tournament.
* LargeHam: Has a boisterous attitude fitting a player of Duel Monsters.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Chapter 96 reveals that, after Battle City (as a favor to Chiaki) she successfully shut down several underground dueling arenas via winning the land deeds in bets. Celeste wasn't particularly thrilled about this.

* TragicVillain: [[spoiler:We get to watch her transition into a Remnant firsthand, and it is every bit tragic as her later actions are horrifying.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: '''Like hell'''.
* YankTheDogsChain: [[spoiler:The three Ishtar siblings return home at the end of Battle City, hoping to restart anew, only to be kidnapped by Junko. Ishizu is tortured into despair, Marik supplanted by his SuperpoweredEvilSide, and Odion killed.]]

[[folder: Rex Raptor]]
* AdaptationalBadass: Gets to show just how competent of a duelist he is while dueling Makoto compared to his canon performance. Even though Makoto wins, it was ''not'' easy.
** He is later shown competing in the Canadian Nationals and he has started to [[spoiler:incorporate insects into his deck and runs a piercing damage type of deck, nearly getting him a victory over Joey]].
* AdaptationalHeroism: An interesting example. In anime canon, Rex was hit with a major case of AdaptationalVillainy when compared to his manga counterpart (who while still being a jerk, was WAY more honorable than Weevil ever was) which even led to him joining Dartz to get back at Joey. In this fic, his defection to Dartz still happens but what really sets this trope into play is his newfound CharacterDevelopment during the Canada Nationals arc.
* BigCreepyCrawlies: During his reappearance in the Canada Nationals, he incorporates some Insect monsters that do piercing battle damage as a way to strengthen his deck, but also uphold [[spoiler: the late]] Weevil's legacy.
* EverythingIsBetterWithDinosaurs: Uses a Dinosaur deck as per canon.
* GracefulLoser: In contrast to their past duels in canon, he takes his loss to Joey during the Canada Nationals in stride further enforcing his CharacterDevelopment.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Sees Makoto as a walk in the park, only to wind up losing to him.

[[folder: Weevil Underwood]]
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Uses an Insect deck as per canon.
* DeathByAdaptation: In canon, he survives Yami Yugi's Berserker Soul assault and was even brought to safety after the train they were in crashes. In this fic however, [[spoiler: he gets attacked to no end courtesy of Junko egging the Pharoah which results in his body falling off the train and onto the canyons. If the continuous attacks didn't kill him, the fall certainly did.]]
* HarmlessVillain: Lampshaded by Junko. Weevil is annoying. He's hardly a threat to Yami. [[spoiler:Sure, Weevil ends up sending Yami into an unstoppable rage, but that proved to be [[KilledOffForReal the last thing he ever did]]]].
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Yes. You are reading that correctly. Weevil ''dies'' at the hands of Yami Yugi in chapter 75, courtesy of Berserker Soul and Junko egging him on to ''keep attacking'']].

[[folder: Vellian Crowler]]
* AgeLift: He's still a teenager in his appearance in Battle City.
* TheBully: Was this to Makoto before Battle City.
* DishingOutDirt: Uses a Rock deck.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appears way before his appearance as a teacher in ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''.
* MythologyGag: Crowler's first appearance is being beaten in a duel by a brown-haired protagonist whom he looks down on.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: He was the Student Council President of Makoto's pre-Hope's Peak school.

[[folder: Mako Tsunami]]
* ChickMagnet: Becomes one courtesy of Touko's ''So Lingers the Ocean'' book. Because of her book's success, fishermen had jumped to the top of "Hottest Men Polls" in Japan. And when combined with Duel Monster's popularity, caused Mako to be ''heavily'' desired by the female masses as if he was the "next George Clooney".
* MakingASplash: Plays a WATER deck as per canon.

[[folder: Yasuhiro Hagakure]]
* ButtMonkey: Arguably more so than in canon.
* CurbstompBattle: Was on a ''huge'' receiving end of this, courtesy of Sonia.
* DemotedToExtra: Probably ''the'' biggest example out of every character in the series. Unlike the other ''Danganronpa 1'' characters who have had a chapter or two where they were featured, Hagakure merely gets a brief scene or two before disappearing from the story completely and in such an undignified matter at that. And if that wasn't bad enough, the Prologue reveals that his spot in the first game's killing game/story and Class 78 is filled out by Yugi instead thus eliminating any remaining relevancy he would have had left.

[[folder: Bonz, Sid and Zigor]]
* DirtyCoward: Their plan was to scare Battle City contestants out of their rare cards and Locator cards. Suffice to say, when the trio end up crossing Hajime and Chiaki, the latter gets utterly furious.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Bonz ends up dueling Hajime instead of Bakura and are only chased off at the end, thus sparing him and his two lackeys from their canonical fate of being sent to the Shadow Realm.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Sid and Zigor.
