History Roleplay / ClassTrialsSeason3

* AlternateTimelines: The trial takes place over two, one where Kyoko is the victim and one where Komaru is. They know that the same killer is responsible for both crimes, allowing them to solve both.

* AnticlimaxBoss: Despite nearly pinning the blame on the Imposter and staving off Suspicion for quite a while, Byakuya's Player disappeared shortly before the climax right before new information implicated him. Byakuya ended up being voted up without a fight as a result.
* ConfessToALesserCrime: Byakuya makes use of this tactic, admitting to having set up an explosive trap without much push to make it look as though that had been his murder plan instead of a distraction.

* HiddenInPlainSight: Byakuya unwittingly got special glow-in-the-dark dust from Sonia's attraction on his body when he was committing the murder. Thus, when Sonia begins looking for volunteers to be covered with the dust during the trial to prove it harmless, he quickly volunteers to be among those testing the dust and successfully covers up this potentially incriminating evidence.
* NearVillainVictory: Byakuya comes pretty close to starting a false vote against the Ultimate Imposter before a clarification from Monokuma clears him of suspicion

* SenselessSacrifice: Twogami drinks a bottle found in the water with Sayaka's body to test its effects on himself. It turns out to be poison and he dooms himself to die. Not only that, but the culprit was somebody they were accusing even before Sayaka was executed.

* LightsOffSomebodyDies: Chihiro kills Toko during on

* AccidentalMurder: Chihiro commits another one.

* CrossoverShip: Leon manages to secure a date with Komaru as she interacts with the cast from the Reserve Course.

* MemeticMutation: While apologizing to Sayaka, Makoto sadly states "I'm Sayaka" instead of "I'm sorry, Sayaka". This typo led to the single most enduring meme of the website.

* KillEmAll: The Trial ends with a Mass Execution, although it proves to be for the best.

* DressedInDrag: To his embarrassment, Hajime ends up forced to wear a skimpy anime villainess costume designed by Hifumi Yamada.
* MurderByProxy: Junko blackmails Mahiru into murdering Gundham for her.

[[folder:Tropes for the Twenty-Sixth Class Trial]]

A normal morning at Hope’s Peak Academy is interrupted by Kyoko’s dead body in the Kitchen.

* AbsenceOfEvidence: Eight people were innocent of the crime for not having either the murder weapon or the knowledge of the books.
* ChekhovsGun: Mechamaru’s arbitrary complaint about a lack of ice in the freezer helps explain the incorrect time of death in the autopsy and absolves three people of committing the crime. Also, Ibuki’s hairspray distribution is reasoned to be the key to identifying the murder weapon.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Teruteru, usually delegated to frequent innuendos and cooking references, pulls off a competent alibi using his culinary skills.
* DidNotDieThatWay: Chihiro suggested that the victim deliberately inhaled butane gas and committed suicide. Turns out that the victim inhaled poisonous hairspray instead.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Aoi, during the language exchange, innocently teaches to other characters Portuguese the phrase “Fora Temer,” or “Out with Temer,” an Icon of Rebellion reference to the ousting of the 37th, interim Brazilian President Michel Temer.
* {{Omniglot}}: Mechamaru malfunctions and speaks fluent Spanish before the trial begins. This spreads to Monokuma, Monomi, Chihiro, Makoto, Ibuki, Kiyotaka, Gundham, Aoi, Sonia, and Hajime, who speak a variety of languages including Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, and even Portunhol. Twogami resists this.
* OnlyOnePlausibleSuspect: After fifteen of the sixteen alibis effectively confirmed each other, Makoto was singled out for having an outstandingly weak alibi and pointed out to be the killer.
* ProofDare: Makoto, having been singled out for an unrealistic murder, attempts to plead with everyone that, despite his weak alibi and his incriminating bathroom conversation, that the victim suicided or that someone else did it.
* RedHerring: The three spoons in the Kitchen. Was plausible that the victim ate snacks with Nagito and Chihiro before she died.
* TonightSomeoneDies: In the previews to the trial, Kyoko notes that something is amiss despite the lack of a motive, suggesting a murder. Breaking PlotArmor and AnyoneCanDie, she becomes the victim.
* TwoDunIt: Averted. Given the movements of everyone else that morning, it was possible that Nagito and Chihiro conspired jointly or that Nagito and Kiyotaka collaborated, but not all three simultaneously.
* WholePlotReference: The entire trial is based on an OutOfCharacter Moment in Trial 14, in which Kyoko asked Hagakure to out of nowhere incorporate a use for hairspray in that trial.

A raging storm on Jabberwock Island subsides with the deaths of Kazuichi and Twogami.
