History TearJerker / DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls

*** This is somewhat mitigated by the fact we see a Holocaust style body pile-up that Masaru was responsible for not even a minute prior. The mood whiplash is so abrupt that it might be difficult to feel sorry for him.
** Chapter 3's focus on Kotoko was not only notorious in giving Despair Girls its reputation for being DarkerAndEdgier, but also it being highly upsetting to watch. Watching a child relive memories of their sexual abuse is horrible and disturbing enough on its own, but Kotoko begins breaking down from the beginning of the chapter, unlike Masaru and Jatarou. This is brought on by Monaca [[TraumaButton calling Kotoko gentle]]--a word her producers frequently used as a SexualEuphemism, resulting in the poor girl associating the word with imminent rape--which basically reduces Kotoko to a terrified and crying mess, begging not to be treated 'gently'. Both voice actresses for Kotoko, English and Japanese do a heartbreaking job at delivering Kotoko's lines, however Kazusa Aranami's voiceover is particularly upsetting as she eventually becomes hysterical while sobbing.
