Capitalism overtakes the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles as Monokuma introduces [[WeirdCurrency MonoBucks]], putting a price tag on basic needs and offering luxuries to those able to earn in the Casino. It isn't long though before Nekomaru Nidai is found dead in a classroom.

[[folder:Tropes for the Original Class Trial]]
* DisappointedByTheMotive: Taka's accomplice, Nagito, is notably annoyed to realize whose secret letter he obeyed, considering it disgraceful that the Ultimate Moral Compass would commit murder and considering the world he wanted to create where everybody is equal to be miserable.

[[folder:Tropes for the Second Trial]]
* IHaveYourWife: Monokuma threatens the absent Peko to make Fuyuhiko desperate enough to kill.
* MurderByMistake: Subverted. Fuyuhiko tries to claim that the murderer tried to lure him out and Chihiro ended up falling for the trap instead, but turns out to be the real killer trying to feign innocence.
* PerfectPoison: A simple prick from trying to open a cabinet is enough to dose Chihiro with the fatal poison.
* WeNeedADistraction: Fuyuhiko provokes Miu with death threats into making a public scene so that he can move more freely throughout the school.

!! Class Trial 68-3

The [[WeirdCurrency MonoBucks]] return again as Kaede Akamatsu becomes the latest victim of the killing game, dying in a classroom while keeping an eye on Miu Iruma.

* MurderByMistake: Hiyoko admits that she was trying to attack Miu, with Kaede having gotten in the way.

* RivalsTeamUp: Celeste and Sayaka perform the Climax Inference together.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Hiyoko learned through Monokuma's App that somebody was plotting murder and, while trying to prevent it, ended up killing Kaede herself.

A mere day after Kaede's trial, another body emerges. This time it is Kokichi Oma, dead within the Ultimate Supreme Ruler's lab.

* CuttingTheKnot: When it is suggested that the Mastermind may not know who set up the trap in Kokichi's lab, Nagito points out that, with the poison gas taking 24 hours to mix and the cameras only being out for an hour, the mastermind would've had plenty of time to derail Kokichi's plan if it had actually been a threat to them.
* DisappointedByTheMotive: Nagito is disappointed by Kokichi's suicide, seeing it as an ineffectual attempt to fight the mastermind.
* SuicideNotMurder: Kokichi's death quickly becomes a clear-cut suicide, with the debate focusing on whether he had an ally.
* ThanatosGambit: Kokichi committed Suicide with the intent of misleading the mastermind.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Monokuma implies that Hiyoko's murder plot had him paying close enough attention to the students to see through Kokichi's plan.

!! Class Trial 17-4

A Trial Series from the [[Roleplay/ClassTrials r/Danganroleplay]] Subreddit which began with the murder of Yasuhiro Hagakure. Began in [[Roleplay/ClassTrialsSeason7 Season 2]]. Notable for featuring various VisualNovel/ZeroEscape themes throughout. Currently consists of four trials, with a 5th and final trial planned.

* CrossOverShip: Hiyoko and Leon get extremely close in this series, with strong romantic implications.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Hiyoko goes through a growth spurt in the timeskip between the first and second trials of the series.
* ShoutOut: This trial series features tons of references to the VisualNovel/ZeroEscape franchise, as VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma was released shortly before the trial began.

!! Class Trial 17

Yasuhiro Hagakure is found dead in the Hope's Peak Academy infirmary.

* AccidentalMurder: Mikan poisons Twogami mid-trial in order to test whether rigour mortis would affect somebody under the poison's influence, intending to give him the antidote. She fails to cure it in time and Twogami dies.
** Notably, this is an example for both Mikan and her Roleplayer, as Twogami wasn't planned to die and was declared dead by the host as the consequence of doing something so dangerous.
* AndThereWasMuchRejoicing: Hagakure's death isn't exactly met with much angst in or out of character.
* ButtMonkey: Hiyoko takes up this role as she spends a huge chunk of the trial locked up in a crate.
* TheDogBitesBack: After initially trying to get Mukuro to let Hiyoko out of the crate, a few unwarranted insults led Mikan to demand that Hiyoko be left in.
* DueToTheDead: After Twogami dies, Nagito encourages Mukuro to shove his body into a crate to prevent him from smelling. She ends up having to cut him into pieces in order to make him fit into any of her crates, with Nagito supplying a knife to do so. Nobody else even bothers to react to this.
* FaceDeathWithDignity:
** Mikan accepts her impending execution for accidentally killing Twogami without much fuss.
** After finally being voted as Hagakure's killer, Celeste goes out with the same dignity that she did in the original game.
* FrameUp: Celeste plants a note under Nagito's door to frame him for helping Mukuro murder Hagakure.
* MontyHallProblem: Mikan and Celeste are forced to compete in an inverted Monty Hall game, where only one option is deadly. Both end up dead too, with Celeste deciding to switch boxes without realizing the problem and Mikan simply having been unlucky enough to have picked the deadly box to begin with.
* NeverSuicide: Celeste tries to claim that she saw Hiro accidentally commit suicide. Nobody believes her.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Mukuro leaves her room and weapon stash unlocked.
* NotMeThisTime: Nagito is left alone with the body for fifteen minutes, but turns out to have left the scene exactly as he found it.
* RefugeInAudacity: On two different occasions, Nagito pulls out kitchen knives from his coat, one of which has been stained with blood. Nobody even bothers to question it.
* SadisticChoice: Once Mikan accidentally kills Twogami during the trial, Monokuma adjusts the rules to allow the class to sacrifice themselves to prevent yet another death for her by making voting for Twogami's murderer a win condition as well as voting for Hagakure's. Everyone votes for Mikan anyway.
* SayingTooMuch: While denouncing everybody over the idiocy of poisoning Twogami, Celeste accidentally lets it slip that she was the one who planted the knife in his hands.
* SenselessSacrifice: Mikan injects Twogami with a deadly muscle relaxant in order to test whether he'd be able to grip a weapon. She's unable to administer the antidote in time and Nagito is quick to point out that the information is relatively minor and could've easily been gotten by simply asking Monokuma.
* TooStupidToLive: Chiaki and Mikan come up with a plan to test a deadly muscle relaxant on a classmate to see whether clutching the knife is necessary, with Twogami volunteering for the job. Twogami dies before he can receive the antidote, leaving the rest of the class shocked at what they'd done.

!! Class Trial 17-2

Months after Hagakure's murder, various poisons and drugs are added to the Nurse's Office and the Chem Lab, with an automated security system tracking all who enter. Nevertheless, Chiaki is found dead in the Chem Lab and Kyoko's body is found in her dorm, injected by an unknown poison.

* {{Angrish}}: Nagito is reduced to this when Hajime claims to have received Izuru's Ultimate Hope talents and chosen not to make use of them, with Nagito finding the idea of doing so to be offensive to everything he believes in.
* BackFromTheDead: Kyoko joins the courtroom towards the end of the trial, having merely been drugged instead of killed.
* ContinuityNod: [[Roleplay/ClassTrialsCT5 Class Trial 5]] is subtly called back to when a reference to Junko prompts Leon to declare that he'd kill her to end the game if she showed up and Nagito offers to assist him in that scenario.
* DeathFakedForYou: In order to frame those the people who entered the Chem Lab as culprits, Mukuro drugs Kyoko and uses a fake Body Discovery Announcement to have her pronounced dead, performing the autopsy herself to convince everybody.
* DetectiveMole: The culprit turns out to be Mukuruo, who performed the autopsy that claimed Kyoko to have died of poison
* EarlyBirdCameo: Junko appears at the Trial's conclusion, having decided to witness Mukuro's execution personally.
* FrameUp: Byakuya is drugged and found in the Chem Lab with Chiaki's dead body.
* IHaveYourWife: Junko admits that she has also abducted the friends of the survivors, specifically name-dropping Makoto, Toko, Sakura, and Mahiru as hostages of hers.
* InformedAbility: Hajime infects himself with a strain of Remembering Disease that is said to restore Izuru Kamakura's talents while letting him remain Hajime Hinata. He shows none of Izuru's abilities.
* LockedRoomMystery: A variation, as Chiaki is killed inside the Chem Lab after security doors that track everybody who enters are installed. Mukuro shoots her from outside the Lab while the doors were still open.
* TheLostLenore: Chiaki becomes one for Hajime.
* TheMole: Mukuro seems to have been acting as one, having unrepentantly killed Chiaki to please Junko and proving capable of forging Body Discovery Announcements and Monokuma Files for Kyoko's fake death.
* MoralDilemma: After Junko's sudden appearance, Nagito reminds Leon of a claim that he'd kill her if he ever saw her and tosses him a revolver. With Hiyoko pleading for him not get himself killed for doing it, Leon backs down without knowing that the gun wasn't even loaded to begin with as Nagito hasn't managed to get any ammunition.
* RageBreakingPoint: Nagito reaches his after Hajime reveals that he's received Izuru's talents and decided not to use them. It works to the group's advantage as Nagito suddenly offers up the solution to how Mukuro murdered Kyoko and wraps out the trial out of sheer outrage at Hajime.
* SkewedPriorities: While most of the characters are shocked when Kyoko resurfaces alive, Nagito greets her fairly casually. He only notes sadly that he needs to learn how to check for a pulse better.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: After threats to pelt her rotten classmates with gummmies, Hiyoko lives up to her threat and begins attacking Hajime with thrown gummies. Hajime is unharmed by the soft candies and thanks her for the snack.
* TimeSkip: Months have passed in the time since the previous trial, with Hiyoko employing screenshots from Danganronpa 3 as her new sprite set to show off her growth spurt.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Nagito and Fuyhiko note that Mukuro probably could've been more successful if she'd just finished Kyoko off after drugging her, given that she did the autopsy and nobody would've been able to tell the difference.

!! Class Trial 17-3

In the wake of Chiaki's murder, another murder takes place. This time the victims are Hina and Chihiro, each one found in a different location and killed by a different weapon. What is the connection?

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Hajime turns out to be the murderer, driven to despair by the Remembering Disease that he infected himself with in the previous trial. Notably, he has not become Izuru Kamakura though, acting more like an evil version of himself.
* CloudCuckoolander: Hifumi becomes convinced that Mukuro's ghost is responsible for the murders, even scattering salt around the real crime scene to stave off her evil spirit.
* DrivenToSuicide: Hina's cause of death turns out to be Radical Six, a disease which forces the victim to commit suicide.
* InformedAbility: At the end of the previous trial, Hajime was allowed to keep one talent and chose to be an Ultimate Gamer to honour Chiaki. Hajime never actually gets a chance to play any video games, as a bitter Nagito points out.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Kyoko apparently believed that the best way to solve Asahina's murder was to move her body to another room and stage it.
* LockedRoomMystery: Intentionally Averted In-Character. Kyoko found Hina's body in one after what .seemed to be a suicide and, believing it to have been murder, moved the body to an unlocked room so that nobody would realize that Hina had died in a Locked Room.
* TheResenter: Even before Hajime is revealed to be the killer, Nagito shows that he clearly hasn't forgiven him for refusing to use his talents.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: After showing up late to the investigation of the real crime scene during the intermission, Nagito is more curious why salt has been scattered around the room
* WhatTheHellHero: Kyoko's decision to move Hina's body and stage it prompts a lot of outrage from the cast.

A sinister broadcast reveals that Monokuma has imprisoned the friends of our Killing Game's remaining survivors in two separate chambers, threatening to douse one chamber with acid. He forces a vote to determine which batch of loved ones will be killed, a vote which ends in a tie and a momentary stay of execution for both groups.

However, Monokuma will only let one group go if the other is killed, resulting in a race against the clock as the players seek to either bring down the Mastermind once and for all or break that tie by committing murder.

In the end, an exploded corpse identified as Nagito Komaeda is found in the Gymnasium. Who killed him and how will his death affect the hostage situation?

* BigBad: The existence of a Mastermind other than Junko is revealed, with Nagito dubbing them "Zero".
* ButHeSoundsHandsome: Inverted. Monokuma suddenly becomes very insulting towards Nagito after Nagito takes over the killing game.
* TheCon: Byakuya discourages anybody from accessing the Chem Lab poisons by putting a fake eHandbook scanner and claiming that only he has access to it, having Nagito agree ahead of time to pretend that he can't open the door.
* DeadAllAlong: Junko turns out to have been the corpse that Nagito used to stage his own death.
* DeathIsCheap: Nagito reveals that anybody who dies in this Killing Game has their consciousness sent back in time to the first day of the killing game.
* DespairEventHorizon: Already traumatized by Leon's sudden death mid-trial, Hiyoko crosses this when the trial ends without a mass execution and Nagito points out that Leon's death has broken the tie in a way which condemns Hiyoko's best friend Mahiru to be melted alive by acid.
* ExactWords: Nagito attempts this, having the players vote on "Who Killed Nagito Komaeda?" rather than who killed Junko or Leon. In the end, enough of the students see through it and avoid voting for him.
* FakingTheDead: Nagito turns out to be alive and running the trial in secret.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Hifumi has it pointed out during the vote on which group of captives to execute that none of the sixteen hostages are friends with him and that he has no stake in the vote. Hifumi admits that it is true, albeit harsh.
* GambitPileUp: Hifumi, Byakuya, Fuyhiko, and Leon all made murder attempts.
* GodzillaThreshold: In order to save the captives, Kyoko recruited Nagito and Komaru for a plan to destroy the Air Purifier and force Junko to come out of hiding to stop her. Since the Air Purifier is actually a time machine, it actually works.
* GroundhogDayLoop: Nagito reveals that he and the other victims were all trapped in one, repeating the killing game over and over as everybody keeps dying and descending into madness. He returned to this timeline to bring the others into the loop, hoping they'll be enough to help him break it.
* HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: Nagito planned on killing the cast in a mass execution, but when they vote correctly, settles for using a bomb instead.
* HeroicBSOD: Hiyoko is catatonic after Mahiru and her group are killed, only returning to normal after they've been sent back in time.
* ImpersonationGambit: Nagito turns out to have hijacked Monokuma and been hosting the trial.
* KillEmAll: Nagito's goal, wanting to send everybody back in time. He succeeds.
* LeftHanging: Nagito never reveals the details of Junko's murder or the relevance of the evidence tied to it, leaving that as a mystery for the future.
* OutOfCharacterAlert: Hiyoko is finally tipped off to the fact that Nagito is controlling Monokuma when Monokuma goes on a rant praising Leon's shining hope and willingness to sacrifice himself for the group.
* SetRightWhatWentWrong: Nagito uses his knowledge of dying at Leon's hands to set up circumstances so that he'll survive long enough to hijack the Killing Game.
* SurprisingSuddenDeath: Nagito suddenly shoots Leon dead upon officially joining the trial.
* SympatheticMurderer: Leon is almost one, having poisoned Hifumi during an attempt by the later to kill Hiyoko and then deciding to kill Nagito as well to ensure that the tie vote gets broken in a way where the group that includes his cousin, Kanon, and Hiyoko's best friend, Mahiru, are saved. Unbeknownst to him, Nagito managed to get himself an antidote.
* TheyKnowTooMuch: After Byakuya's eHandbook was stolen, he planned on murdering somebody and framing the eHandbook thief. He reveals that his plan was to kill Nagito, the only person who knew that the eHandbook scanner was fake
* TimeLoopFatigue: Nagito admits that he's the only one from the time loop he escaped who hasn't succumbed to this by now, as the others have all lost their minds.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: While his plan to kill the entire cast was certainly brutal, Nagito does so in order to send everybody back in time to create a timeline where everybody can escape the killing game.
