History YMMV / DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony

* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Kaede has been already shipped with all characters. Before they even had names there was Kaede/Maki and Kaede/Keebo fanworks.

** Tenkai got a lot of attention when the second PV revealed his design. The fact that he is this game's Ultimate ??? pushed his popularity forward.

** Tenkai got a lot of attention when the second PV revealed his design.

** While it's a bit early to tell currently, fans seems to ''love'' the twin-tails girl.

* FanPreferredCouple: It took literally hours after her reveal for fans starting declaring their love for the Kaede/twin-tails girl ship.

** The female student with a witch hat has seen a huge amount of popularity and speculation from fans. Before her design's reveal, she was easily one of the most popular characters, and her popularity has only increased since her reveal.

** The Asahina {{Expy}} who wears yellow coat and bikini, Ooba and Gokuhara all received a lot of attention from the fanbase after their designs were revealed.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Due to having only the designs and the EpileticTrees situation already on going in the fandom, some fans agree and disagree on various things.
** The Checkered Scarf Guy. Some people believe that the jacket he is wearing is actually a straitjacket and not a normal one, because of that, some people believe he is actually the less sane character among the students.
** The boy with the black hair and the hat has already been pinned as the "reverse crossdresser" to counterpoint [[VisualNovel/DanganRonpa Chihiro]], due to his effeminate looks.

* BrokenBase
** Whether [[FanNickname Robot-Kun]] should be the main protagonist has had fans split. Some are okay with it, citing his IdiotHair and frontal appearance on the opening poster as evidence to him being the main character and finding the idea of a RidiculouslyHumanRobot an interesting concept for the new beginning. Others on the other hand stand against him citing his concept as being against the series norm (main protagonists in DR, aside from [[LightNovel/DanganRonpaZero all]] [[LightNovel/DanganRonpaKirigiri the]] [[LightNovel/DanganRonpaTogami novels]], are typically varying degrees of OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent) . The presence of two students with ahoge among the unrevealed silhouettes and the lack of confirmation from WordOfGod doesn't help.
*** Later, it was confirmed he would not be the protagonist. Kaede Akamatsu, a female student revealed only in the following preview, would be. While it's still early to say anything, she has been pretty well received by the group who wanted a change in the typical Dangan Ronpa protagonist, not only design, but [[GoGetterGirl personality]] [[GenkiGirl wise]].
** The new designs have created some discussion. A group of fans are rejoicing on the new cool designs, while others think they are too weird and look poorly done, a particular popular complaint is that, different from the previous installments, almost none of them look like actual students.
* CounterpartComparison: The overall design aesthetic and design of the robotic student has lead to comparisons to ''VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward'', aided by the friendship between both series respective creators, the fact that both share a publisher and that the game was originally to be released the same year as ''VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma''.

** Tenkei got a lot of attention when the second PV revealed his design.
** The Asahina {{Expy}} who wears yellow coat and bikini, the boy with the checkered scarf and the guy who is seemingly the new GentleGiant all received a lot of attention from the fanbase after their designs were revealed.
* EpilepticTrees: The games gradual unveiling and build-up information wise has lead to some truly insane theories from the fandom, especially in regards to its connection to the Hopes Peak Saga.

** The male character with blond hair, a MellowFellow that appears just before Kaede in the second PV gets a lot of attention due to how handsome he is.

The TGS 2016 trailer reveals the date has been pushed back to January 2017, likely due to the production team focusing their energies on Anime/DanganRonpa3, and the fact that VisualNovel/ZeroTimeDilemma has already been released earlier in 2016. The comparisons in visual aesthetic still apply, however.[[/note]]

** The currently unrevealed female student with a witch hat has seen a huge amount of popularity and speculation from fans, far more than the other unrevealed students.
