While the animosity between them slightly abates in later chapters, they still remain on bad terms and do not hold back verbally.
*DeadPersonConversation: Rantaro appears in one during several chapters. This segment was inspired by another fanfic called Fanfic/SystemRestore.
*ExactEavesdropping: Kaede finds herself doing this at times while exploring the school facilities. It helps that she has excellent hearing due to her talent as the Ultimate Pianist.
*ForegoneConclusion: While the events for each case are different this time around, they still hinge on the same motives provided by Monokuma in the main game.
**[[spoiler: A death was bound to happen right after Kirumi saw her own motive video. She just didn't expect her own demise to occur afterwards.]]
*HeroicBSOD: [[spoiler: Tenko]] of all people suffers from one right after [[spoiler: Himiko's murder]]. It doesn't help that [[spoiler: Monokuma abruptly ends the trial after the blackened is found, preventing everyone from figuring out her killer's identity]].
*Honorifics: Since this fanfic was written before the game's overseas release, the whole cast refer to each other with honorifics to match the Japanese version.
*ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: How [[spoiler: Gonta]] is killed.
*InSpiteofaNail: Angie establishes the student council in spite of Kaede's leadership saving their lives in the second trial.
*JerkassHasAPoint: As harsh as Maki is to Kaede, she makes a good point when the latter's refusal to condemn the blackened only makes things worse for the whole group.
*NeckLift: Like with Kokichi in the main game, [[spoiler: Kaede is on the receiving end of this from Maki for attempting to reveal her true identity to everyone. Fortunately, she is saved by Tenko and the other students]].
*NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: How Shuichi's execution is carried out. He gets ganged up by several Monokuma bots holding numerous tools to bludgeon or stab him with. Right after being left within an inch of his life, a flaming arrow shot by a cupid Monokuma hits Shuichi in the heart, [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill giving him an agonizing death]].
*NotSoStoic: Ryoma shows bouts of anger for the [[spoiler: death of Gonta]] who he had become close with.
*SecretKeeper: [[spoiler: Tenko]] becomes this for Kaede after the latter shares the truth regarding Rantaro's murder.
*ShipperOnDeck: Tsumugi seems intent on shipping Kaito together with Maki and Kaede to form a LoveTriangle, [[spoiler: most likely for the sake of ratings]].
*TakenForGranite: Or wax in [[spoiler: Angie's case as part of her execution]].
*TheLostLenore: Kaede gains one in the form of the late Shuichi whose death drives her to end the killing game.
*TookALevelInBadass: Before [[spoiler: her death, Himiko secretly gives Tenko the key to Angie's lab and helps Kokichi catch the mastermind off-guard using one of Miu's bombs to turn off the school's power supply. Her murder not only brings Kaede and Tenko closer together, it also confirms Kaede's suspicions of the mastermind being among the class.]]
*TookaLevelinCynic: Kaede gradually becomes less idealistic and more discerning of others as the story progresses. By the end of the third trial, she's more willing to lie and keep secrets if it means keeping the group whole while finding the mastermind.
*TricksterMentor: Although [[spoiler: Kokichi detests Kaede for getting away with murder, he willingly dispenses ambiguous hints to her that later prove valuable in the class trials]].
*WhatTheHellHero: Maki understandably calls out Kaede for defending [[spoiler: Korekiyo when he's revealed to be Kirumi's killer]]. Likewise, Kaede feuds with Kaito for defending Maki [[spoiler: after her secret identity has been exposed]].
