''Fractured Fates'' is an [[ElsewhereFic Elsewhere Fic]] set in the ''[[Franchise/DanganRonpa Danganronpa]]'' universe, written by the user [=DarkX=] the Dragon Knight.
[[PassionateSportsGirl Hana Amari]] is a girl who is average in appearance, but in reality holds exceptional talent; specifically, she has recently been scouted by the famed Hope's Peak Academy to attend as the Ultimate Surfer. Unfortunately, whatever excitement or fear she may have felt is all throw out the window when her first day at the academy takes a turn for the strange. Suddenly, Hana and her fourteen other classmates find themselves in a mysterious castle, with a [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc certain monochrome bear]] appearing and forcing them into a game of kill or be killed. Now, Hana and her friends must uncover the mysteries lurking in the halls of their prison in order to learn the truth behind this killing game...or face the dread of despair. But the truth...may be even darker than Hana could have ever imagined.
The story can be found [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12999713/1/Fractured-Fates here]]. The main story is completed, with a prologue, six chapters, three intermission chapters, and an epilogue. Be warned: '''''all spoilers below are unmarked,''''' because like its [[Franchise/DanganRonpa canon counterpart]] it would be difficult to list tropes for this fic without spoiling everything.

-->'''Mikio Nakamura:''' ...You know what, I...think this may be a good time to do that late-night exercise, I've lost my appetite.
-->'''Hana Amari:''' Have...fun with that.
-->'''Mikio Nakamura:''' ...Hey, we're still good for tomorrow, right? ...You know, unless Monokuma kills one of us?
-->'''Hana Amari:''' Y-Yeah! Wish you had said it differently, but yeah! Just try not to wear yourself out too much today, alright?
-->'''Mikio Nakamura:''' I'll do my best.
-->'''Azami Kurobe:''' I...I'm so sorry, I just...it was all so stressful, especially after... That day, we spent in the library...you remember that...? I was...I was so happy, I didn't think...I thought I'd actually made some real friends, I didn't want that to end...I wanted more days like that, I didn't want anything to happen to anyone, I...I never wanted any of this to...to..
-->'''Hana Amari:''' ''(to Monokuma)'' You...You knew something like this would happen, didn't you...? You knew most of us were scared from the idea of murdering each other...so you threatened us in order to build on that fear. You were counting on something like this happening, that's...that's the truth behind your motive...
-->'''Monokuma:''' Whaaat? I thought that was pretty obvious. Now, I don't know the nuance, I'm no Ultimate Psychologist, so I'll just explain with this little metaphor: Think of twigs and sticks, right? Some are thin and easy to break, others are thicker and tougher. You all probably thought you were the thick and strong sticks, right? Well...with the right amount of pressure applied, even the strongest of sticks can snap right in half. Puhuhu...pretty brilliant, right?
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' So...you ''were'' lying...!? You weren't going to kill anyone at midnight? It was all just...to get one of us to snap and kill someone...!?
-->'''Monokuma:''' Maybe it was a bluff, maybe it wasn't...not that it matters anymore!
-->'''Azami Kurobe:''' I...I'm the one who screwed everything up, aren't I...? Because...Because of my damn paranoia, I... I...I'm so sorry, guys...I'm sorry, guys! I'm sorry! ''Mikio!'' Mikio, I-I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' I-Itachi...?
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' I...I have risked everything for this... I have thrown my morals to the curb...I have damaged the trust of those who consider me a friend...and you say it's as simple as just 'call it off'?
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' Hey, Itachi...! C-Calm down-
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' You're right...you ''don't'' know... You don't know ANYTHING!
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' I-Itachi! Stop it, calm down!
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' Do you think I don't know what I'm doing is wrong!? You think I'm an idiot!? That I don't know what I'm risking!? I do! I don't need ''you'' to remind me! All I needed was for ''something'' to go right! And you...''you'' ruined that! I was ready, and ''you'' ruined it! Why did you come here!? Why couldn't you leave me in peace!?
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' Itachi! Stop it, get a hold of yourself!
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' Stop standing in my way... STOP STANDING IN MY WAAAY!
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' Everyone! Know that the time I spent with you all...I truly did cherish it! That was no lie! And it is for that reason that what I did cannot be forgiven, nor can any form of apology undo my actions. That is why, at the very end, I shall allow my actions to speak for themselves as I fulfill the final duty of my ancestors!
-->'''Hana Amari, mentally:''' 'Final duty'...? What does that mean?
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' And...I know I have no right to ask you all of anything... However, I have one final wish to ask of you all!
-->'''Hinata Yonade:''' Huh? You want something from us?
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' ...What is it, Itachi?
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' ...Don't ever repeat my mistakes. Don't ever let a killing like this happen again. That...is my final request.
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Wh- o-oh! Ah- Rumi, Tadao! Wh-What a surprise to see you two here! Hello!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Um- hi? What are you doing in here? I thought you had something to do, so you couldn't go to the party.
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' That is correct, and ah, I assure you this has nothing to do with your party, Rumi.
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' What are you doing with that stuff, Yamamoto?
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Yeah, and...what exactly ''were'' you doing by all the drinks?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah, those are- that is...I am...planning to do some special exercises! Yes, in the fitness room- I have been concerned about my physical health these days in this castle, and I hope to remedy that. These drinks seem to be quite refreshing, so I figured I would take one of these in case I needed a drink while exercising.
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' ...So why do you have ''two'' glasses?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah...two glasses, I...just in case I am...
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Ooh, is it in case you're ''extra'' tried from an exercise and need two drinks at the same time?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' ...Yes. A-And so, I would not wish to hold you two up any longer, s-so I will be on my way! I hope me taking these items will not be a problem?
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' Well- no, it shouldn't be, we have plenty of spares.
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah, excellent! Well then, I will see you two later!
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Well, it's- there's...something I've been doing for a little bit now. Seriously, I've only been at it for less than an hour... And I had my doubts at first, I really did, and I was even kinda mad at first, but...this is actually helping me, it really is. I didn't think it would, but- I-I even had some ideas for new poems! I haven't had the inspiration to write in days, and now I-
-->'''Hinata Yonade:''' I...well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to see you in good spirits again. You must be spending time at the party, right? Is that why you're feeling more like yourself?
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Actually, it's...something else, but- I...can't really talk about that right now. But! Maybe later I can. Well...assuming this continues to go well, anyways...
-->'''Hinata Yonade:'' Well, uh...good luck with that, anyways.
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Heh- thanks, Hinata! Next time we see each other, hopefully I'll be even better!
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' ...Well- farewell, everyone. I suppose you all weren't the ''worst'' customers I've ever served. I wonder...will that optimism of yours truly pay off in the end...? ...I can't say I believe it will.
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' Listen Rumi- I...I know I don't have any right to ask you for anything, but... I want you...to win the trial. To...To escape this hellhole of a castle.
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' W-Win the-!? No way! I-If I do that, then everyone else- Hinata, Hana, Asuna, they'll all be...!
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' I know, I know it's not fair, but- I-I'm gonna die, you're gonna be the blackened, and there's gonna be a trial, th-there's nothing you can do to stop that. S-So...please, at least ''try'' to win! Please, you shouldn't...you shouldn't have to be punished because ''I'' did something unforgivable!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Is that...why you saved me...? Because you wanted me to get through the trial?
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' ...You know, you're not wrong. You're not wrong at all, and really I could just...I could just leave it at that, couldn't I? You'd just see right through it anyways. Haha...even now, I can't be totally honest, huh? Heh...hehe- ''(coughing)'' I...I really am the worst, aren't I...?
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Sh-Shiori!
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' Rumi... I'm sorry...for being an idiot...!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Asuna, Hana- both of you, remember to stick together, okay? You're all that's gonna be left of our little 'library group', after all. As long as you two are still kicking it together...it makes me feel a little better about...you know.
-->'''Hana Amari, mentally:''' She's...accepted what's about to happen...? She's not even a little upset at me? ''I'm'' the reason Hinata's plan fell apart, the reason she got found out, the reason she's about to ''die,'' how can she...how can she not...?
-->'''Monokuma:''' ...We, uh- we done here? Sorry to interrupt the heart-to-heart, but now I'm getting bored again! So, let's finish off this trial with a BANG! Or, considering our blackened, should I say- a ''splash?''
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Okay...okay. Yeah, I'm...I'm ready."
-->'''Hinata Yonade:''' W-Wait, Rumi, I-! I need to- I mean, I haven't even told you-!
-->'''Monokuma:''' Now then, I've prepared a very special punishment for Rumi Hamasaki, the Ultimate Scuba Diver!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' ...Goodbye, everyone. Maybe, in another time...things could have been better.
-->'''Monokuma:''' Let's give it everything we've got! It's...PUNISHMENT TIIIME!
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' I know, don't think I don't understand where everyone's coming from. That's why I'm not truly mad at you or the others- if anything, I'm more...more...
-->'''Hana Amari:''' Wait, Hiroshi- come back to the dining room with me? Even if you're not that mad at the others, they'd want to apologize anyways...
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' There's no need for that- besides, there's something I need to do. Something I should have done sooner...
-->'''Hana Amari:''' What...? Where are you going, what are you-?
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' Listen, Hana- there's something important I need to do, and something important I need to tell you. I won't be telling you right now, but soon- very soon, I will. Trust me, you'll know when. Until then- just wait for me, alright? ''(smiles)'' And don't worry, okay? One way or another, things are going to work out- just keep having faith, Hana.
-->'''Nanako Tokumei:''' Well you're right about that- you're the reason I'm like this, and I helped mastermind the killing game to get back at you. Still- do you really think you can dodge my spears?
-->'''Hana Amari:''' No- but I don't need to. I just have to survive long enough to scan my finger on that screen, then press the button.
-->'''Nanako Tokumei:''' Hahahaha! And you think you'll be able to do that with a bunch of spears in you? I'm not gonna hold back at all, you know! In case you couldn't tell- I'm a little bit crazy, you know?
-->''[...]''
-->'''Hana Amari:''' ...A little bit crazy, huh? ''So am I.''
-->'''Mikio Nakamura:''' ...You know what, I...think this may be a good time to do that late-night exercise, I've lost my appetite.
-->'''Hana Amari:''' Have...fun with that.
-->'''Mikio Nakamura:''' ...Hey, we're still good for tomorrow, right? ...You know, unless Monokuma kills one of us?
-->'''Hana Amari:''' Y-Yeah! Wish you had said it differently, but yeah! Just try not to wear yourself out too much today, alright?
-->'''Mikio Nakamura:''' I'll do my best.
-->'''Azami Kurobe:''' I...I'm so sorry, I just...it was all so stressful, especially after... That day, we spent in the library...you remember that...? I was...I was so happy, I didn't think...I thought I'd actually made some real friends, I didn't want that to end...I wanted more days like that, I didn't want anything to happen to anyone, I...I never wanted any of this to...to..
-->'''Hana Amari:''' ''(to Monokuma)'' You...You knew something like this would happen, didn't you...? You knew most of us were scared from the idea of murdering each other...so you threatened us in order to build on that fear. You were counting on something like this happening, that's...that's the truth behind your motive...
-->'''Monokuma:''' Whaaat? I thought that was pretty obvious. Now, I don't know the nuance, I'm no Ultimate Psychologist, so I'll just explain with this little metaphor: Think of twigs and sticks, right? Some are thin and easy to break, others are thicker and tougher. You all probably thought you were the thick and strong sticks, right? Well...with the right amount of pressure applied, even the strongest of sticks can snap right in half. Puhuhu...pretty brilliant, right?
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' So...you ''were'' lying...!? You weren't going to kill anyone at midnight? It was all just...to get one of us to snap and kill someone...!?
-->'''Monokuma:''' Maybe it was a bluff, maybe it wasn't...not that it matters anymore!
-->'''Azami Kurobe:''' I...I'm the one who screwed everything up, aren't I...? Because...Because of my damn paranoia, I... I...I'm so sorry, guys...I'm sorry, guys! I'm sorry! ''Mikio!'' Mikio, I-I'm so sorry! I'm sorry!
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' I-Itachi...?
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' I...I have risked everything for this... I have thrown my morals to the curb...I have damaged the trust of those who consider me a friend...and you say it's as simple as just 'call it off'?
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' Hey, Itachi...! C-Calm down-
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' You're right...you ''don't'' know... You don't know ANYTHING!
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' I-Itachi! Stop it, calm down!
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' Do you think I don't know what I'm doing is wrong!? You think I'm an idiot!? That I don't know what I'm risking!? I do! I don't need ''you'' to remind me! All I needed was for ''something'' to go right! And you...''you'' ruined that! I was ready, and ''you'' ruined it! Why did you come here!? Why couldn't you leave me in peace!?
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' Itachi! Stop it, get a hold of yourself!
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' Stop standing in my way... STOP STANDING IN MY WAAAY!
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' Everyone! Know that the time I spent with you all...I truly did cherish it! That was no lie! And it is for that reason that what I did cannot be forgiven, nor can any form of apology undo my actions. That is why, at the very end, I shall allow my actions to speak for themselves as I fulfill the final duty of my ancestors!
-->'''Hana Amari, mentally:''' 'Final duty'...? What does that mean?
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' And...I know I have no right to ask you all of anything... However, I have one final wish to ask of you all!
-->'''Hinata Yonade:''' Huh? You want something from us?
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' ...What is it, Itachi?
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' ...Don't ever repeat my mistakes. Don't ever let a killing like this happen again. That...is my final request.
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Wh- o-oh! Ah- Rumi, Tadao! Wh-What a surprise to see you two here! Hello!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Um- hi? What are you doing in here? I thought you had something to do, so you couldn't go to the party.
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' That is correct, and ah, I assure you this has nothing to do with your party, Rumi.
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' What are you doing with that stuff, Yamamoto?
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Yeah, and...what exactly ''were'' you doing by all the drinks?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah, those are- that is...I am...planning to do some special exercises! Yes, in the fitness room- I have been concerned about my physical health these days in this castle, and I hope to remedy that. These drinks seem to be quite refreshing, so I figured I would take one of these in case I needed a drink while exercising.
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' ...So why do you have ''two'' glasses?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah...two glasses, I...just in case I am...
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Ooh, is it in case you're ''extra'' tried from an exercise and need two drinks at the same time?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' ...Yes. A-And so, I would not wish to hold you two up any longer, s-so I will be on my way! I hope me taking these items will not be a problem?
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' Well- no, it shouldn't be, we have plenty of spares.
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah, excellent! Well then, I will see you two later!
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Well, it's- there's...something I've been doing for a little bit now. Seriously, I've only been at it for less than an hour... And I had my doubts at first, I really did, and I was even kinda mad at first, but...this is actually helping me, it really is. I didn't think it would, but- I-I even had some ideas for new poems! I haven't had the inspiration to write in days, and now I-
-->'''Hinata Yonade:''' I...well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to see you in good spirits again. You must be spending time at the party, right? Is that why you're feeling more like yourself?
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Actually, it's...something else, but- I...can't really talk about that right now. But! Maybe later I can. Well...assuming this continues to go well, anyways...
-->'''Hinata Yonade:'' Well, uh...good luck with that, anyways.
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Heh- thanks, Hinata! Next time we see each other, hopefully I'll be even better!
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' ...Well- farewell, everyone. I suppose you all weren't the ''worst'' customers I've ever served. I wonder...will that optimism of yours truly pay off in the end...? ...I can't say I believe it will.
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' Listen Rumi- I...I know I don't have any right to ask you for anything, but... I want you...to win the trial. To...To escape this hellhole of a castle.
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' W-Win the-!? No way! I-If I do that, then everyone else- Hinata, Hana, Asuna, they'll all be...!
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' I know, I know it's not fair, but- I-I'm gonna die, you're gonna be the blackened, and there's gonna be a trial, th-there's nothing you can do to stop that. S-So...please, at least ''try'' to win! Please, you shouldn't...you shouldn't have to be punished because ''I'' did something unforgivable!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Is that...why you saved me...? Because you wanted me to get through the trial?
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' ...You know, you're not wrong. You're not wrong at all, and really I could just...I could just leave it at that, couldn't I? You'd just see right through it anyways. Haha...even now, I can't be totally honest, huh? Heh...hehe- ''(coughing)'' I...I really am the worst, aren't I...?
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Sh-Shiori!
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' Rumi... I'm sorry...for being an idiot...!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Asuna, Hana- both of you, remember to stick together, okay? You're all that's gonna be left of our little 'library group', after all. As long as you two are still kicking it together...it makes me feel a little better about...you know.

** One is in the middle of the trial after Nanako reveals the world outside is in a [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic state]] due to The Tragedy, essentially trying to break the students by making it seem like all the terrible things they endured were [[AllForNothing all for nothing.]]
--->'''Hana:''' ...Shut up.
--->'''Nanako:''' Don't tell me to shut up! I'm right! The others-
--->'''Hana:''' The others made their choices! Fine, whatever- we know it didn't work out for them! We were there, we saw most of them die! But just because ''they'' made mistakes doesn't mean we'll end up like them, too! Azami, Kaneki, Itachi, Tadao, Shiori, Rumi- even the five of us, all of them and us made some bad choices that ended up screwing themselves or someone else over- but that doesn't mean it's better to just sit back and accept whatever fate just comes to us! If we thought that way- if ''I'' thought that way, we wouldn't be here right now! We'd be dead or- or- I don't know, something just as bad!
--->'''Hana:''' But we're not- you know why? Because we've ''always'' had a choice- good or bad, we've had one, and right now we ''still'' have one! We don't have to just accept being blown up and buried alive like you want us to- we can still fight it, and that's exactly what we're going to do! If we don't, then- then what was all of this for, huh? Nothing! The deaths of everyone we cared about- they really ''would'' be for nothing, and after everything we've gone through I am NOT about to let that happen!
** The second and last one happens after Hana recovers from her [[HeroicBSOD breakdown]] after finding out that she was the true mastermind before Nanako.
--->'''Nanako:''' You...you four-! You're okay with this!? You're okay with putting your lives in the hands of the person who started all this!? You're okay with walking out of this bunker into a world that's full of anarchy!?
--->'''Akira:''' My job is to reveal the truth- to bring people to proper justice. Did you honestly think I'd just sit by and allow you to kill us all- to let you take the easy way out? If you did, then maybe you're not as adept at reading people as you think you are.
--->'''Ryoto:''' I don't care what the outside world's like! Ryoto Miura made a lot of mistakes throughout all of this- but NOT THIS TIME! I know who my friends are, and I know what needs to be done! And most of all- I know letting someone like YOU win is OUT OF THE QUESTION!
--->'''Asuna:''' I-I ''am'' nervous about the state of the world outside, but...I'm alive right now because of my best friend's sacrifice. I don't care what you say, what you do, or what the outside world's become- I will NOT let that sacrifice be for nothing!
--->'''Hinata:''' I'll be the first to admit- I've never been the most virtuous person, even before this killing game. But, well...a certain someone believed I could be more than that. Can't really make good on that if I'm buried hundreds of meters underground, you know?
--->'''Hana:''' I did some terrible things- to my friends and even you, Nanako- even if I don't remember doing them. But throughout this killing game, I've been trying my hardest to help my classmates survive and escape- and finding out the truth hasn't changed that! Hiroshi was right- I ''do'' still have a choice. I am ''not'' Agent 44 anymore- I'm Hana Amari! I can't change my past, but I ''can'' change my future and my fate- [[ScrewDestiny no one, not even you, can take that choice away from me!]] And right now...I'm going to stop you!

After narrowly escaping the massacre of most of the other students with their lives, the majority of the class decided it would be better and safer for all of them to go their separate ways from each other, thus making it more difficult for whoever caused the incident at Hope's Peak to finish them off. Unfortunately, this decision eventually comes back to bite them- hard (see [[TragicMistake Tragic Mistake]] below).
** NeverSplitTheParty: After discovering the truth about everything in Chapter 6, Akira and the rest of the surviving students vow not to repeat the mistake they and their classmates made at the start of The Tragedy- in other words, they decide to remain together and survive in the ruined outside world as a unified group. Even following Hana's demise at the end of Chapter 6, the remaining four survivors still remain resolute in their decision to remain together.

*BittersweetEnding: In the end, the killing game claims the lives of eleven of the sixteen members of the 80th Class, with the final death being Hana sacrificing herself to end the killing game she herself started to begin with. Additionally, Nanako manages to escape to avoid any kind of punishment, and Dark Hand is still active and will likely be hunting down both Nanako and the survivors for different reasons. Despite this, the four survivors are determined to make sure they don't waste the second chance at life they were given by the sacrifices made by Hana and Hiroshi, and they are able to return to the surface with the chance to make their own, brighter futures in the post-Tragedy world.

** Hana's identity as Agent 44 and the original/true mastermind is hinted at in several ways:

***When looking at the profiles for the killing game participants, Hana is the only member of the class without one while Nanako ''does'' have a profile. This is because Hana was never supposed to be a participant in the game while Nanako was.

*TheHeroDies: Hana dies at the end of Chapter 6 during her attempt to shut down the killing game and save her surviving classmates.
*{{Irony}}: Hiroshi and Nanako's first plan to prevent the killing game involved erasing the memory of the mastermind, Agent 44/Hana, thereby preventing her from overseeing the killing game and leaving the game without a mastermind. When they learn Dark Hand has a backup plan involving making one of the two of them the replacement mastermind, they realized their last chance to shut the game down involved using a "killswitch" connected to the bunker/castle's power supply that could only be activated by the mastermind. In other words, they'd have to make Hana ''remember'' the very thing they tried to make her forget in order to save their classmates.
**Hiroshi covered the camera in his bedroom using the sheets on his bed, avoiding punishment because the rules prohibit ''breaking'' the cameras, not covering them up.
** Hana has this reaction after learning she was a member of [[GreaterScopeVillain Dark Hand]], the one who was originally meant to mastermind the killing game, and the person who sabotaged Hiroshi and Nanako's plan to prevent the killing game.
*RaceAgainstTheClock: The latter section of the final trial involves Nanako setting off a timed self-destruct sequence that will blow up the castle/bunker once the timer reaches zero, burying everyone in the trial room. The only way to shut the bombs (and, by extension, the bunker itself) down is for the surviving students to solve the mysteries of the killing game, which will allow them to figure out how to activate the "killswitch" that will shut everything down.

**It's never revealed why Hana joined Dark Hand in the first place, although the implication is that it was the result of her experiencing something ''really'' bad during The Tragedy.

**The final trial reveals Nanako, while the ''current'' mastermind of the killing game, was not the ''original'' mastermind. There was someone else who was supposed to be in her place (later revealed to be Agent 44/Hana Amari).

**The final trial reveals Nanako, while the ''current'' mastermind of the killing game, was not the ''original'' mastermind. There was someone else who was supposed to be in her place (later revealed to be Agent 44/Hana Amari).
** The final part of Chapter 6's trial involves the reveal that ''[[TheProtagonist Hana]]'' is actually the original mastermind and the one who helped cause the killing game to begin with, not Nanako (though she is the replacement mastermind) as the students believed. To add to this, the part ends with Hana [[HeroicSacrfice sacrificing herself]] to put a stop to the killing game, with the last lines being her dying thoughts before simply ending on several lines of ellipses.

In the trials prior, the blackened was always one of the students- so, the students naturally assumed the same would apply in the fifth trial and went about their debates with this mindset. It isn't until very late in the trial that they even ''consider'' the idea that Hiroshi was murdered by a third party, and even then Hana has to fight tooth and nail to actually prove this to be true.

-->'''Hana Amari:''' ''(to Monokuma)'' You...You knew something like this would happen, didn't you...? You knew most of us were scared from the idea of murdering each other...so you threatened us in order to build on that fear. You were counting on something like this happening, that's...that's the truth behind your motive...
-->'''Monokuma:''' Whaaat? I thought that was pretty obvious. Now, I don't know the nuance, I'm no Ultimate Psychologist, so I'll just explain with this little metaphor: Think of twigs and sticks, right? Some are thin and easy to break, others are thicker and tougher. You all probably thought you were the thick and strong sticks, right? Well...with the right amount of pressure applied, even the strongest of sticks can snap right in half. Puhuhu...pretty brilliant, right?

All I needed was for ''something'' to go right! And you...''you'' ruined that! I was ready, and ''you'' ruined it! Why did you come here!? Why couldn't you leave me in peace!?
-->'''Kaneki Tenmaru:''' Itachi! Stop it, get a hold of yourself!
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' Stop standing in my way... STOP STANDING IN MY WAAAY!
-->'''Itachi Kunata:''' Everyone! Know that the time I spent with you all...I truly did cherish it! That was no lie! And it is for that reason that what I did cannot be forgiven, nor can any form of apology undo my actions. That is why, at the very end, I shall allow my actions to speak for themselves as I fulfill the final duty of my ancestors!
-->'''Hana Amari, mentally:''' 'Final duty'...? What does that mean?

-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' That is correct, and ah, I assure you this has nothing to do with your party, Rumi.
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' What are you doing with that stuff, Yamamoto?
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Yeah, and...what exactly ''were'' you doing by all the drinks?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah, those are- that is...I am...planning to do some special exercises! Yes, in the fitness room- I have been concerned about my physical health these days in this castle, and I hope to remedy that. These drinks seem to be quite refreshing, so I figured I would take one of these in case I needed a drink while exercising.
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' ...So why do you have ''two'' glasses?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah...two glasses, I...just in case I am...
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Ooh, is it in case you're ''extra'' tried from an exercise and need two drinks at the same time?
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' ...Yes. A-And so, I would not wish to hold you two up any longer, s-so I will be on my way! I hope me taking these items will not be a problem?
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' Well- no, it shouldn't be, we have plenty of spares.
-->'''Saku Yamamoto:''' Ah, excellent! Well then, I will see you two later!
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Well, it's- there's...something I've been doing for a little bit now. Seriously, I've only been at it for less than an hour... And I had my doubts at first, I really did, and I was even kinda mad at first, but...this is actually helping me, it really is. I didn't think it would, but- I-I even had some ideas for new poems! I haven't had the inspiration to write in days, and now I-
-->'''Hinata Yonade:''' I...well, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't happy to see you in good spirits again. You must be spending time at the party, right? Is that why you're feeling more like yourself?
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Actually, it's...something else, but- I...can't really talk about that right now. But! Maybe later I can. Well...assuming this continues to go well, anyways...
-->'''Hinata Yonade:'' Well, uh...good luck with that, anyways.
-->'''Shiro Koichi:''' Heh- thanks, Hinata! Next time we see each other, hopefully I'll be even better!
-->'''Tadao Shimaru:''' ...Well- farewell, everyone. I suppose you all weren't the ''worst'' customers I've ever served. I wonder...will that optimism of yours truly pay off in the end...? ...I can't say I believe it will.
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' Listen Rumi- I...I know I don't have any right to ask you for anything, but... I want you...to win the trial. To...To escape this hellhole of a castle.
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' W-Win the-!? No way! I-If I do that, then everyone else- Hinata, Hana, Asuna, they'll all be...!
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' I know, I know it's not fair, but- I-I'm gonna die, you're gonna be the blackened, and there's gonna be a trial, th-there's nothing you can do to stop that. S-So...please, at least ''try'' to win! Please, you shouldn't...you shouldn't have to be punished because ''I'' did something unforgivable!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Is that...why you saved me...? Because you wanted me to get through the trial?
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' ...You know, you're not wrong. You're not wrong at all, and really I could just...I could just leave it at that, couldn't I? You'd just see right through it anyways. Haha...even now, I can't be totally honest, huh? Heh...hehe- ''(coughing)'' I...I really am the worst, aren't I...?
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Sh-Shiori!
-->'''Shiori Sauchi:''' Rumi... I'm sorry...for being an idiot...!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Asuna, Hana- both of you, remember to stick together, okay? You're all that's gonna be left of our little 'library group', after all. As long as you two are still kicking it together...it makes me feel a little better about...you know.
-->'''Hana Amari, mentally:''' She's...accepted what's about to happen...? She's not even a little upset at me? ''I'm'' the reason Hinata's plan fell apart, the reason she got found out, the reason she's about to ''die,'' how can she...how can she not...?
-->'''Monokuma:''' ...We, uh- we done here? Sorry to interrupt the heart-to-heart, but now I'm getting bored again! So, let's finish off this trial with a BANG! Or, considering our blackened, should I say- a ''splash?''
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' Okay...okay. Yeah, I'm...I'm ready."
-->'''Hinata Yonade:''' W-Wait, Rumi, I-! I need to- I mean, I haven't even told you-!
-->'''Monokuma:''' Now then, I've prepared a very special punishment for Rumi Hamasaki, the Ultimate Scuba Diver!
-->'''Rumi Hamasaki:''' ...Goodbye, everyone. Maybe, in another time...things could have been better.
-->'''Monokuma:''' Let's give it everything we've got! It's...PUNISHMENT TIIIME!
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' I know, don't think I don't understand where everyone's coming from. That's why I'm not truly mad at you or the others- if anything, I'm more...more...
-->'''Hana Amari:''' Wait, Hiroshi- come back to the dining room with me? Even if you're not that mad at the others, they'd want to apologize anyways...
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' There's no need for that- besides, there's something I need to do. Something I should have done sooner...
-->'''Hana Amari:''' What...? Where are you going, what are you-?
-->'''Hiroshi Ashi:''' Listen, Hana- there's something important I need to do, and something important I need to tell you. I won't be telling you right now, but soon- very soon, I will. Trust me, you'll know when. Until then- just wait for me, alright? ''(smiles)'' And don't worry, okay? One way or another, things are going to work out- just keep having faith, Hana.
