History Fridge / ANewHopeDanganronpa

* At the start of ''Kuma Kuma Land'', a hundred Ultimates enter the Killing Game via rollercoaster, [[spoiler:but most of them are ejected from their seats and killed before the game even begins, with only a few survivors remaining. Assuming the ejections were chosen randomly, what if one of the Ultimates who survived to enter the present Killing Game had been ejected instead? As several characters have been major influences to the present timeline's story, [[ForWantOfANail their deaths would cause huge differences in the story]].]]

%%* It makes sense why [[spoiler:Makoto and Hajime had so many successful babies in the ending, being able to breed with two mothers no less. Both of them were made superior by advanced genetic science, with Makoto being a clone with a HealingFactor and Hajime being modified to become superior via the Izuru Kamukura project. They were probably given [[ADateWithRosiePalms superhuman breeding abilities]] to cultivate the next generation of Ultimates.]]** This also explains why [[spoiler:Jibo Momota has had so many children, who are all Ultimates. He gave himself these same breeding abilities so he would be able to create more Ultimates for his ideal world. To fit with his desire for superior Ultimate talents, Mikan is an Ultimate Nurse in order to tend to all the citizens, Kaito is an Ultimate Astronaut to explore space and found new civilisations, and Kokichi is an Ultimate Supreme Leader to bend the world to Jibo's will. However, since these three started to grow independent from their father, he (presumably) pushed Mikan's mother into turning her daughter into a nervous wreck in order to obey everything, gave Kaito his illness, and erased all three's memories of being siblings. However, he conceived Yukiko to become DaddysLittleVillain and make her a superior Kokichi.]]

** [[spoiler: Also with regards to Sayaka...was Makoto's next scene in the chapter after her death. In it, he dreams of what seems to be Sayaka and Makoto...doing something. Cut to him, and he wakes up in the bed. It's never implied, but the fact that [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything it was one of the few dreams he had]]...[[ADateWithRosiePalms in the bed...]]]]

** Had the voted ending in ''Sea of Tranquility'' be different, then it would have tonally matched that of the canonical games. ''A New Hope'' fits the tone of ''Trigger Happy Havoc'', being on the slightly more idealistic side with a slightly happier ending. This even matches with [[spoiler: the survivors as well. In canon, Kyoko, who fits the female {{Deuteragonist}} mold, is the only one who survives compared to Chiaki and Kaede. Here, all three of them survive with the bonus of Mukuro surviving (due to technically replacing Kyoko as the primary {{Deuteragonist}}). Should the voted ending be Despair, then Shiori would have technically filled in Chiaki's niche.]] This tonal comparison is, however, more evident with ''Kuma Kuma Land'', ''House of Horrors'', and ''Railway of Despair'', matching [=V3=]'s darker tone.

* Why is it that there is so much more [[ThePowerOfFriendship friendships]] and CharacterDevelopment than in [[Franchise/DanganRonpa the Danganronpa canon]]? Since the Ultimates from VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc, VisualNovel/SuperDanganRonpa2, and VisualNovel/NewDanganRonpaV3 are all in the same reality, all of the [[TheHeart mediators]] and [[NiceGuy nice people]] are able to preserve the peace and help each other overcome their flaws. In the case of the [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpa2 sequel's cast]], they recieve some [[AdaptationalNiceGuy adaptational niceness]] since [[spoiler:the real Chiaki never died and therefore Class 77 were never [[FaceMonsterTurn corrupted into Ultimate Despair]], with the Future Foundation heads taking that role instead.]] As for [[VisualNovel/NewDanganronpaV3 the V3 cast]], [[spoiler: since WordOfGod confirmed that the TrumanShowPlot of the original V3 is not in place in A New Hope, this means that the participants' personalities are real and are therefore capable of showing much more character.]]
** This explains why [[VisualNovel/SuperDanganronpa2 Class 77]] is nicer and more supportive than in canon, since they are their true selves. Hajime acts like a supportive TeamDad for his group, Mikan goes from a ShrinkingViolet to one of the nicest participants of the game, Mahiru expresses her disdain for Hiyoko's bullying (even within the simulation) rather than defending her, and Nagito was able to show some AdaptationalHeroism.

* The first and last murders of 'A New Hope' are BookEnds, since they both involved [[spoiler:the murderer being [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashed into murder]] via Flashback Light. The respective culprits were Rantaro and Kaede, the first victim and culprit of the canonical VisualNovel/NewDanganRonpaV3, where the Killing Game participants were brainwashed with the Flashback Lights to become completely different people.]]

* [[spoiler:[[SweetPollyOliver Laris Nevermind turning out to be a girl]] came out of the blue at first, until you realise that s/he was the writer Scorpio's AuthorAvatar. Laris would be considered her protagonist, and there has been a RecurringElement in the ''Franchise/DanganRonpa'' franchise of the male protagonist being [[CrossDressingVoices voiced by a woman]] in Japan.]]

* Ringo Takagami's first name means "apple", [[FluffyTheTerrible which sounds quite mild for a killer like him]]. While it does refer to his talent as the Ultimate Marksman (shooting an apple on top of someone's head requires a marksman's aiming skills), it also refers to how he's the [[TokenEvilTeammate most evil]] out of all of the OCs [[spoiler: until Dylan came along]]; in other words, ''[[StealthPun Ringo is the bad apple of the bunch]]''.
