History Roleplay / ClassTrials

* ButtMonkey: Hagakure, Kazuichi and oddly enough, Makoto are the most common victims of this.
* CanonDiscontinuity: The rules of the Subreddit dictate that the Final Chapter of VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony never happened and that all trials take place in a continuity where Tsumugi wasn't the mastermind and survived the killing game with Keebo, Shuichi, Maki, and Himiko. Surprisingly, this rule does not exist because of the divisive nature of the ending but in order to keep Tsumugi as a viable Killing Game Participant.

* CruelAndUnusualDeath: As per the tradition of the series.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Frequently.

* MotiveRant: Typically happens once the blackened has been exposed.

* OddballInTheSeries: The Experimental Trials were created as a category for trials that subvert the usual Trial format in some way, such as a Trial Series featuring [[FreakyFridayFlip Body Swapping]], a Killing Game featuring Franchise/AceAttorney characters, and another that was a ContinuityReboot of VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc in which players lack their usual memories.

Although they follow the same format and rules as regular Class Trials, a special classification of Class Trial has emerged for Trial Hosts who find themselves getting a little creative. These Experimental Trials feature their own spins on the typical Class Trial, with some featuring twists on the rules, [[GenreShift Genre Shifts]] or even unique characters who are not normally a part of the main Danganronpa cast.

* ButtMonkey: Hajime

* {{CrossOver}}: Danganronpa meets Literature/BattleRoyale.
* SacrificialLamb: As the first victim, Hiyoko plays this role

The '''''Dangan Roleplay''''' Subreddit's Class Trials (not to be confused with the unaffiliated JournalRoleplay Roleplay/DanganRoleplay) are a series of Reddit Role Plays based on the video game series ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' for the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita. In these games, a psychotic bear traps a class of students inside a school and forces them to kill someone and get away with it. The killer is known as the "blackened" and the students vote for the killer during the class trial, which is similar in gameplay to the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series. If the killer is able to convince the other students that they're not the killer, they're allowed to escape the school and all the other students get executed. If they get caught, then only the blackened gets executed.

* AdaptationalHeroism: To keep her from being a GameBreaker, Tsumugi was ruled not to be the Mastermind of her killing gae in Class Trial Canon, making her plain otaku persona into her real personality.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: For some time 7th trial, students who weren't accepted into the trial had been sending messages to the trial's participants, detailing their views on the trial and the misadventures that they are up to. These misadventures were phased out after 30 trials or so

%% * AnyoneCanDie

** Hajime is bullied by children, abused, disliked by pretty much everybody, shot up with paintballs by pretty much no reason, and ultimately killed. The pet Tiger that Natsumi Kuzuryuu named after him quickly becomes more popular than him.

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Averted. The first four eliminated contestants all end up being female characters. As of Round 5, the only female left is Celeste.

* NeverLiveItDown: Makoto Naegi makes an unfortunately selfish decision to secure himself immunity for another episode while reducing the pot of prize money, earning the ire of many players.

Due to a large backlog of trials, Tropes for individual trials will be listed on pages divided by seasons. Each Season consists of 10 Class Trials and features any sequels that were hosted afterwards. Some of the significant Trial Series that received multiple sequels have received their own pages.

The Dangan Roleplay Subreddit Class Trials (not to be confused with the unaffiliated JournalRoleplay Roleplay/DanganRoleplay) are a series of Reddit Role Plays based on the video game series ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' for the UsefulNotes/PlaystationVita. In these games, a psychotic bear traps a class of students inside a school and forces them to kill someone and get away with it. The killer is known as the "blackened" and the students vote for the killer during the class trial, which is similar in gameplay to the ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' series. If the killer is able to convince the other students that they're not the killer, they're allowed to escape the school and all the other students get executed. If they get caught, then only the blackened gets executed.

This system is what the Dangan Roleplay Subreddit Class Trials are based on. Players choose a canon character from the series and sign up, before taking part in a trial where they can interact with the other players in character, and use the evidence the host has given them, along with the discussions with the other players to try to figure out whodunnit. Trials can only last up to 1 week, though usually last around 3 or 4 days. A Subreddit extension was also made available to allow the easy use of visible sprites.

The first trial was in late 2015: [[https://www.reddit.com/r/danganronpa/comments/3tc5aw/time_for_the_class_trial/ Komaru's Trial]]. After that, the Class Trial Scene has grown strong, and to date, there have been well over 60 Class Trials hosted on Reddit: 6 on the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/danganronpa/ Dangan Ronpa Subreddit]] and the rest in the [[https://www.reddit.com/r/DanganRoleplay/ Dangan Roleplay Subreddit]]. An updating list of all the class trials hosted is kept [[https://www.reddit.com/r/DanganRoleplay/wiki/classtrial_archive here]]. The series has expanded to include Sequel Trials, Experimental Trials (an archive of which can be seen [[https://www.reddit.com/r/DanganRoleplay/wiki/sidetrial_archive here]]), and various Side Games that break away from the Trial Format.

'''''Since every time a new class trial comes around, the characters are played by different people, each trial will be in a section of its own.'''''

* TheShowMustGoWrong: Given the nature of the series, any show or party typically results in a death.

Due to a large backlog of trials, Tropes for individual trials will be listed on pages divided by seasons. Each Season consists of 10 Class Trials and features any sequels that were hosted afterwards. Some significant Trial Series that received sequels have received their own pages.

Given the expanding archive of Experimental trials, they are separated into two main pages. One page features the current list of Experimental Trials that have been hosted and the other page features special Side Trials that were either hosted before the Experimental Trial classification was created or feature casts from games outside of Danganronpa.

As the subreddit has grown, various Side Games have popped up as well. These Side Games eschew the usual class trial formula to put Danganronpa characters through a variety of other games with their own rules. Some of the more extensive side games have received their own pages.
