*If Monomi was never working for Monokuma then why does she conviently defeat a Monobeast everytime a class trial ends? I thought I had her figured out from the start. How do you create the most despair? By creating lots of hope first. And thus Monomi's role was to connect the other students to create hope for Monokuma to later dash to pieces. But then we come to the end of the game and it turns out she really was on your side and fighting against Monokuma from the start, but just didn't have the power to stop him. So if she was stronger than the Monobeasts why doesn't she defeat them earlier? And if she was weaker then how does she defeat them? More to the point, why does she randomly decide that after a class trial is the best time to fight them every time? It just seemed very convenient and more "proof" she was cooperating with Monokuma.

*** I second this. The irony of the execution is straightforward: Gundham is trampled to death by wild animals. But unlike Celeste, Teruteru, and Mikan he never drops the act. He places his pets out of harm's way, casts a spell he knows doesn't do anything, and faces inevitability with dignity knowing his death has freed his friends. He's fully comfortable with and confident in the persona he has created for himself, and thus can't be denigrated by Monokuma's execution.

* So is there a reason for the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute between the casts of the first two games? Kazuichi immediately reminded me of Leon in general appearance. Chiaki is the silver/gray haired girl who plays the smart role like Kyoko. Akane looks like an older version of Aoi with an ultimate talent having to do with sports. (Imposter) Byakuya is, well, Byakuya, but Fuyuhiko fills his role better as the jerkass guy who's part of a big organization that looks down on the rest of the crew before his character development. Nagito is a lucky ulimate like Makoto and also gave off an older version vibe in the beginning before his true colors come to light. Nekomaru is like Mondo, in that they both seem like gangsters with a heart of gold, while Fuyuhiko fits the sailor mouth portion of Mondo's personality. Mikan is a lot like Toko's regular personality, and while it's ultimate fake Peko fills in the role of the "alternate personality" of Genocice Jack when she claims she's really the serial killer Sparkling Justice. Basically every character is an Expy of someone from the first game, whether it be in appearance or personality. Until I got to the end I thought it was something deliberate, but Junko or anyone else doesn't mention anything about it, so is it just a coincidence?

** I'd argue it's entirely plausible - the emails in chapter 6 reveal that Makoto's use of the Neo World Program to rehabilitate the members of Ultimate Despair was against the wishes of the rest of the Future Foundation. It would make sense for Makoto, Kyoko, and Byakuya to be the only ones on the island - the Future Foundation can't find out where they're putting the Neo World Program to use, lest they forcibly come by to kill the members of Ultimate Despair, so a small group would be better for this scenario.

* What constitutes having an "ultimate" talent? In the previous game it seemed to imply being the best of the best in one's field, and both Hajime and Nahito's veneration of ultimates seem to indicate that being an ultimate requires being more than gifted or even very gifted. But some of the students don't seem like the best, or even uniquely remarkable. It's mentioned that most swordsmen don't stand a chance against Peko, with the underlying implication being that there are men who *can* match her. What's more, there doesn't seem to be much evidence to suggest Fuyuhiko, Mahiru, or Mikan are anything more than very accomplished for their age. It's debatable whether or not Ibuki is even a good musician.

** The Japanese equivalent of the title being "Super High School Level" does seem to imply that they're simply very accomplished for their age. It's less about being the best of the best in the world, and more so being the best of the best among high school students. Sakura from the first game, for instance, mentions in a free time event that she doesn't consider herself the world's strongest person because she's still unable to beat her boyfriend in a fight, and Aoi and Leon being scouted for the Olympics and major league teams respectively doesn't automatically make them the winners. I think it's moreso that everybody with a talent is a prodigy, and Hope's Peak is meant to cultivate this until they ultimately ''do'' become the best of the best in their field.

If Junko had a way to tell if the comatose students were dead (which seems entirely reasonable), she would not only take graduation off the table but inform the remaining students that the Future Foundation had just murdered their defenseless friends. It was an emotionally drought situation and the Future Foundation desperately needed the Hajime et al to know they were on their side.

*** Hiyoko's robes were very likely tied at the front as an intentional posthumous insult by Mikan. Even if Hiyoko didn't know how to tie it properly it's highly unlikely she would have intentionally tied her obi at the front herself. Doing so was the traditional way in which Japanese courtesans tied their obis, with the intent that clients could more easily untie them and undress them. Mikan - the target of so much bullying at Hiyoko's hands, and who remembers even more having reverted to her despair persona - is adding insult to injury by not only killing Hiyoko. She's calling her a whore.

Remember after that speech and tying Nagito up, Nekomaru and Kazuichi were acting very suspecious and cautious around the others with Hajime himself not knowing what was going on with them. So it's safe to say Nagito wasn't talking to everyone.
** I guess? Maybe he was monolonging and those two happened to be there.

** In-game Nagito has no memories of being at Hope's Peak. It's possible that he ''could'' have received Ultimate-level treatment at Hope's Peak, and just isn't aware of it. Consider his desire to be a "stepping stone": if he believed that allowing the Ultimates to study and treat his conditions would have advanced their talents, he would undoubtably have allowed it, death wish or no death wish. Dementia is a physical condition, so his brain should have severely deteriorated between his entry to Hope's Peak and the start of the simulation, but he doesn't note any sudden cognitive decline. He might not be cured, but he might have been given a few extra years of coherence at the very least.

** 5.(You asked a question that has a very long answer, but here’s the summarized version.) Nagito considers certain people “worthless”; people without talent, and people with a worthless talent. (Ex; Hajime is in the first category, Nagito is in the second.) Those who are “worthless” must become stepping stones for those who have “worth” (ie; talent) so that person can reach the Ultimate Hope. The other students used to have “worth”, because of their talents. However, when he found out they were Ultimate Despair, they became part of the second category. When he realized they were “worthless”, they had to become stepping stones for the only person left with hope. The traitor. Nagito, just like he doesn't believe he can be saved from his worthlessness, doesn't think the others can either.

** The Danganronpa 3 anime more or less confirms this theory, with an extra explanation: UI was "Byakuya Togami" when he first entered Hope's Peak, but then he met up with the real Ryota Mitarai struggling with his health and made the deal to impersonate Ryota so Ryota could continue working on his anime and UI could actually attend classes at the same time as the real Byakuya.

* Who is Nagito talking to at the start of Chapter 2? All of his classmates? Or just Nekomaru and Kazuichi as they're tying him up?

** Maybe he was impersonating Byakuya before entering Hope's Peak? He expresses considerable respect for him during his free time events, so he at least knows ''of'' Byakuya. He likely switched to Ryota Mitarai after entering Hope's Peak because it would be impossible to impersonate a guy who you have a good chance of being in the same physical location as, and then switched back as an ultimate despair.
