''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/2265012/chapters/4975158 Point Of Divergence]]'' is a WhatIf AU of ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'' written by [[Tropers/{{Mercuriesandrandomness}} mercuriesandrandomness]] in which Nagito Komaeda does not have frototemporal dementia.

This changes the plot dramatically.

----
!!This work contains examples of:
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Due to not having frototemporal dementia, Komaeda is much nicer to his fellow students.
* AssholeVictim: Chapter 2's killer considers [[spoiler:Kuzuryuu]] to be this. The other students disagree, claiming that while he was a jerk, he didn't deserve death.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: Hinata, after Koizumi jumps to Saionji's defense after she makes up a fake sob story about Hinata bullying her, points out that she's a bit a {{Hypocrite}}.
--> '''Hinata:''' Um, Koizumi…. I didn’t actually do anything to her. And by the way, why haven’t you blown up at Saionji for what she does to Tsumiki and Souda?
* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler:Mioda, after Togami's execution]] is found sobbing on the beach and begging to be left alone. She recovers rather quickly.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Like in canon, all of the executions.
** Chapter one's killer, [[spoiler:the Imposter]] is [[spoiler:placed in a hall of mirrors, where he sees every disguise he's ever taken, along with the real Togami, who commands the reflections to stab him to death.]]
** Chapter two's killer, [[spoiler:Saionji]] is [[spoiler:forced to dance for everyone she ever bullied, until the stage she's dancing on is dissolved, causing her to fall into a pit of acid. All the while, everyone in the audience is shooting at her.]]
** Chapter three's killer, [[spoiler:Souda]] is strangled by [[spoiler:his true love, Junko.]]
** Chapter four's killer, [[spoiler:Koizumi]] is mauled to death by a hoard of Monobears.
** Chapter five's killer[[spoiler:/victim, Komaeda is strapped to a dart board and is shot at by everyone who died in the plane crash, including his parents. It goes until either he's fatally shot or the dartboard blows up.]]
* DeadPersonConversation: Hinata has one with [[spoiler:Nanami]] after chapter 1's trial.
* DeathByAdaptation:
** Everyone who survives the game in canon except Hinata dies in this fic.
** [[spoiler:Nanami, Saionji, and Tanaka]] die earlier than in canon.
* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:Pekoyama]] crosses it after [[spoiler:Kuzuryuu dies ]] as [[spoiler:she failed as his bodyguard, in addition to [[BodyguardCrush her being in love with him]].]] She's just barely pulled back from it.
* DistressedDude: Komaeda, after Monobear kidnaps him in Chapter 2.
* DrivenToSuicide:
** [[spoiler:Pekoyama]] attempts to kill herself following [[spoiler:Kuzuryuu's]] death via stabbing herself in the stomach. She is just barely saved.
** [[spoiler:Komaeda]] shoots himself in the head.
* ForWantOfANail: Nagito Komaeda doesn't have frototemporal dementia, and [[spoiler:doesn't try to kill anyone during chapter 1's party]].
* FirstPersonSmartass: A lot of Hinata's inner thoughts are ''very'' snarky.
* HearingVoices: Hinata hears [[spoiler: Nanami]] after her death and often speaks to her.
* ImplausibleDeniability: [[spoiler:Pekoyama claiming to not know Kuzuryuu]] during Chapter 2's trial. [[spoiler:By that point, she's spent the entire investigation in a HeroicBSOD and vocally cursing her uselessness-it doesn't take long for everyone to realize she's grieving.]]
* InSpiteOfANail:
** Chapter 1's murder happens in roughly the same way.
** [[spoiler:Togami]] still dies in Chapter 1.
** [[spoiler:Komaeda]] is still kidnapped in Chapter 2.
** Chapter 2's murder [[spoiler:still heavily involves Twilight Syndrome Murder Mystery]].
** Someone still tries to kill themselves in chapter 3.
** [[spoiler:Akane and Komaeda]] both get despair fever in Chapter 3.
** Chapter 3's murderer has the exact same motive as their counterpart in canon.
** Chapter 4 still [[spoiler:involves a suicide pact.]]
** Komaeda [[spoiler:goes into the Final Dead Room in Chapter 4.]]
** [[spoiler:Komaeda dies in chapter 5 from suicide.]]
** Chapter 6 is roughly the same as canon.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: During chapter 2's trial, Monobear gets annoyed when he learns that Komaeda and Tsumiki managed to make a major breakthrough in the case and says that [=NPCs=] shouldn't do important stuff and that only the protagonist can do useful things. Hinata then wonders why he is acting like they are video game characters.
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: [[spoiler:Souda's]] motive for murdering [[spoiler:Tanaka and Owari]].
* MoodWhiplash: Part 4 of Chapter 2 begins with the guys' attempts at spying on the girls' beach party, and ends with [[spoiler:Hinata, Koizumi, and Pekoyama finding Kuzuryuu's body.]]
* MurderSuicide: [[spoiler:Koizumi murders Sonia in order to help everyone escape the funhouse, before proceeding to confess as soon as the trial starts.]]
* MythologyGag: When infected by the Despair Fever, Komaeda acts like his canon self, rambling about hope, despair and death.
* OnceAnEpisode: Chapters 2, 3, and 4 all feature a scene early on with Hinata and Tsumiki taking care of Komaeda.
* RedHerring: Sonia in Chapter 3 as the crime is a copycat crime of Genocider Syo, who the group realized is a girl and Sonia had expressed interest in Syo. However, Sonia points out that since her first time in Japan was when she came to Hope's Peak, everyone quickly realizes it was impossible.
* RunningGag: Hinata repeatedly assuming that Monobear is [[ILoveTheDead a necrophiliac.]]
* ShipperOnDeck: Mioda briefly ships Hinata/Souda at one point.
* ShipTease: Lots. The most prominent are Hinata/Nanami and Komaeda/Tsumiki.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Mioda, Tsumiki, Pekoyama, Nidai, and Hanamura]], who all die in canon, survive until the end in this fic. Also, [[spoiler:Koizumi]] lives longer than in canon.
* SurvivorGuilt: [[spoiler:Kuzuryuu's death hits Pekoyama even harder than hers did to him in canon, especially since it was a murder this time-she actively failed at being a bodyguard.]]
* SwitchingPOV: Chapter 4's investigation is told from Komaeda's POV, like in canon.
* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:Nanami to Hinata and Kuzuryuu to Pekoyama.]]
* TheStationsOfTheCanon: All of the murders have similar motives or occur similarly to those in canon.
* TraumaButton: Komaeda's kidnapping. Any reminder of it will cause him to freak out.
* WasItAllALie: Hinata [[spoiler:after finding out that Nanami is TheMole. It's confirmed it wasn't later on, when as in canon, it turns out she's the TokenGoodTeammate]].
* WhatDoesThisButtonDo: When on the train, Mioda starts hitting buttons on the controls.
* WhatIf: Nagito Komaeda didn't have frototemporal dementia?
