57 [[caption-width-right:1000:Wysteria Zoëga-Wynn: Ultimate Coroner]]
58-> Played By: Avalaise

61* GoodCounterpart: DownplayedTrope, but she is very similar to Celestia Ludenberg of VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc in that she's a very classy, European-themed woman dressed in gothic attire. Unlike Celeste, she isn't outwardly wanting the deaths of others, but is just as dismissive initially.
62* {{Goth}}: Is very much this, having only really befriended fellow loner Friedrich and a fellow person who was interested in the occult, Demi.
63* TheCoroner: Quite literally this, as she comes from a family of Coroners in Europe. Acts as the one who does the extra autopsies, similar to Mikan Tsumiki in VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair.

103[[/labelnote]]
104-> Played By: Alyssaromantic
105* AmnesiacsAreInnocent: Comes off as an forgetful GenkiGirl, doing her best to be helpful towards the rest of the group. [[spoiler:{{Invoked}}. She only does this in order to gain enough sympathy where people will target anyone except for her. Then Esperanza dies, [[BrokenBird and the mask]] [[CuteButPsycho completely slips...]]]]
106* AmnesiacProtagonistCatalyst: [[spoiler:The entire reason the third killing game even happened is because Felix chose to murder Eiji due to Monokuma telling him that he planned on killing Ai.]]
107* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Xaiver, and [[spoiler:his memory erasure.]]
108* TheFakeCutie: [[spoiler: Of the BrokenBird variety. She intentionally puts up a mask of adorable innocence to invoke pity and cause the others to not want to target her for murder.]]
109* ForgivenButNotForgotten: How Ai ends up treating [[spoiler:Felix after finding him a year after the ending of the killing game. Except for the fire. She can't forgive him for that.]]

111* InterruptedSuicide: [[spoiler:Attempts this in Chapter 4 by slitting her wrists. Jacob manages to find her in time.]]
112* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: [[spoiler: Is revealed to be Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa's daughter. Ai very much takes a lot of the traits of the latter in terms of being fairly prickly to others, and has a lot of Genocider Syo's more murderous attributes and manic side when her blood thirst kicks in. But she also reveals Komaru's level of empathy in her WhatYouAreInTheDark moment as well as her ability to make friends. She also has a lot of Komaru's lack of social cues and childish side as well, but it's clear she takes more after Toko.]]
113* NameAmnesia: As Ai admits to everyone in Chapter 5, [[spoiler:she doesn't remember her name, and the last name "Wakaranai" was one she came up with on the spot purely to avoid suspicion. By the end of that same chapter, her real name is revealed to be [[FanCreatedOffspring Ai Fukawa.]]]]
114* TragicKeepsake: After [[spoiler:Felix is executed, Monokuma gives her the plushie heart that he had been carrying in his pocket the entire time. Having it on her is what manages to convince her [[WeUsedToBeFriends that Felix wasn't always a monster]], and it is heavily {{Implied}} that Ai made it for Felix during the last killing game.]]
115* TraumaInducedAmnesia: Gained permanent brain damage as a result of [[spoiler: rubble and smoke inhalation after Felix attempted to take her life.]]
116* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:In the second killing game, Ai was a genuinely cheerful and kind person. But losing your girlfriend, thirteen of your other friends, and then [[BrokenPedestal being set on fire by the only person left that you could trust]] tends to change people.]]
117* WalkingSpoiler: It is incredibly hard to discuss Ai without mentioning [[spoiler:her real personality.]]
118* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Ai spends the entirety of Chapter 5 [[spoiler:cursing out Felix and wishing for his death after finding out that he was the "mastermind". Then Chapter 6 comes along, with everyone having to vote on whether or not to imprison Hisoka forever or to kill her right then and there, but risk losing their memories in the process. It also means that Felix will almost certainly die. [[TragicKeepsake Her squeezing the heart plushie as she votes]] [[WeUsedToBeFriends makes it obvious that the former is not the reason why she chooses to imprison Hisoka.]]]]

125 [[caption-width-right:1000:Fumika Forrester: Ultimate Shrine Maiden]]
126-> Played By: Castamelody
127* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Due to the IRL issues her player faced throughout the later half of the season, her prominence ended up dropping dramatically post Chapter 3.

131[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3b7718a1_ba9b_4359_8ad6_d665de85d11a.jpeg]]
132 [[caption-width-right:1000:Lewis C. Crockett: Ultimate Adventurer]]
133-> Played By: ShadowDJ
134* TheAce: Is seen as this by the other players, especially given he was one of the most skilled athletically and socially, as well as being the one [[spoiler: who had masterminded his own get back moment against Monokuma and Monomi.]]
135* AdventurerOutfit: Wears a rather modern take on this old concept, given he tends to wear short-sleeved practical gear.
136* BoldExplorer: Lewis' talent is the Ultimate Adventurer, similar to Rantaro Amami in the canon. However unlike Rantaro, he is built a lot more noticeably than him, being the third most muscular in the cast.
137* CrazyPrepared: A bit of a ProperlyParanoid type when it comes to things, as he feels he needs to be prepared for any needed situation. [[spoiler: His own greatest fear is actually being unprepared.]]
138* DemolitionsExpert: Is fairly skilled with dismantling things, and proved this when [[spoiler: when he decided to rig up the parade floats with a make-shift bomb made of fireworks.]]
139* EmergencyWeapon: As expected of a ProperlyParanoid explorer, he always carries a switchblade with him for a multi-use tool. Even freaked out when it went missing.
140* StringTheory: [[spoiler: Secretly had a corkboard in his room, made up with things with fallen blackened and victims as well as his own ideas. Trying to figure out what the Mastermind was doing.]]
141* TokenGoodTeammate: Of the surviving characters in the group given Fumika is pretty withdrawn, Ai [[spoiler: has a lot of violent tendencies]] and Wolfgang very much enjoys stirring up the pot. Lewis meanwhile is the one who genuinely wishes to take on the Mastermind the most.

148-> Played By: Avalaise
149* AntiHero: What he develops into after falling for Danica.
150* ArtistsAreAttractive: Is one of the more classically attractive male characters as shown in his art. And is also one of the ones with a confirmed end-game ship.
151* CardCarryingJerkass: He intentionally tries to be mean to everyone he can. It doesn't always succeed.
152* DefrostingIceKing: After he tries and fails to mess with Danica, he ends up falling for her. [[spoiler: It's one of the main reasons his walls finally begin to break in the later chapters.]]
153* ElegantClassicalMusician: Is dressed in a very fancy suit, wears a masquerade mask and is a trained violinist.

160-> Played By: BagOfGroceries
161* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Technically not a main character, but definitely this in comparison to Richie and [[spoiler: his actions.]]
162* DespairEventHorizon: It’s never directly stated [[spoiler:what made him what he is]], but it’s implied to be [[spoiler:related to Audrey’s death.]]
163* HopeIsScary: Felix has a hard time [[spoiler:forgiving himself for what he did]], and is implied to be [[spoiler:suicidal.]]
164* KickTheMoralityPet: His attempt to [[spoiler:kill Ai. He quickly has second thoughts.]]
165* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Felix flees upon waking up, regretful, afraid of himself, and fully expecting Ai to kill him. It’s also heavily implied he hallucinates blood on his hands.]]
166* RedemptionEqualsLife: [[spoiler: Despite everything, Felix lives, and ends up getting help.]]
167* TragicKeepsake: A small red plush heart he keeps his vest pocket. [[spoiler:It’s implied to have been made by Ai in the previous game.]]
168* WalkingSpoiler: Most discussion around Felix specifically revolves around [[spoiler:his fall and forgiveness.]]

189
190[[folder:Zero]]
191-> Played By: TravisGA
192* AmnesiacHero: Is known as the Ultimate ???, and is having a lot of grappling to do with his lack of memories and the stress that comes with it.
193* CloudcuckoolandersMinder: Has become this when D-33's personality takes a sudden shift after an update causes her to start acting a lot more silly and outwardly emotive.
194* OnlySaneMan: Has shades of this due to being an outsider of the group, given he isn't known by the other students when they get there, and that he is reacting to the multitude of eccentricities around him.
195* TheFaceless: His face is usually obscured by a gasmask, goggles and a hood, obscuring a lot of his emotive features; which means a lot of characters are taking his vocal cues into account.

199[[folder:Hana]]
200[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_8324_2.jpeg]]

202-> Played By: Alyssaromantic
203* BreakTheCutie: She's in a killing game, and she's only 8 years old. That's bad enough. [[spoiler: And then her brother dies.]]
204* ISeeDeadPeople: {{Downplayed}}. [[spoiler: Hana is able to talk to ghosts using her Ouija Board, but cannot see them. Considering that several other members of the cast have tried using the same object to no avail, it is clear that Hana is the only one of them that is able to do this.]]
205* OnlyOneWhoLikesSpam: Hana would always love whatever her big brother made for her, and thus became very partial to Well-Done Steak
206* SweetBaker: Since she is the Lil' Ultimate Easy Oven Baker, this is kind of a given.
207[[/folder]]
208
209[[folder:Ryo '''(MAJOR SPOILERS)''']]
210-> Played By: Greeenhand
211[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_5031_1.jpeg]]
212 [[caption-width-right:1000:Ryo Makino: Ultimate Sous-Chef]]
213* BigBrotherInstinct: As Hana’s older brother and legal guardian, he is fiercely protective of her [[spoiler:even after his death.]]
214* DecoyProtagonist: Very quickly establishes himself as the OnlySaneMan of the group, with a clear motivation to protect Hana above all else. [[spoiler:And then he becomes the victim of Chapter 1.]]
215* OnlyOneWhoLikesSpam: He always preferred to cook Well-Done Steak, and this became Hana’s favorite.
216* SupremeChef: His food is not the best, but it is done fast.
217
218[[/folder]]
219
220[[folder:Walter]]
221-> Played By: ShadowDJ
222* AntiHero: Compared to Lewis Crockett, Walter is a lot more prone to mistrusting others and wanting to look deeper. He is also a lot more confrontational and sarcastic in certain instances. He also doesn't always care about the collateral in the stories he had published in the past, usually just wanting to expose corruption.
223* CameraFiend: Is always carrying his camera at all times, and has used it in both investigations so far; first as a way to collaberate alibis at the party, and as a make-shift magnifying glass to look over scenes.
224* DeadpanSnarker: Is one of the more sarcastic of the group.
225* EveryoneHasStandards: When it comes to how Walter acts, he is fairly pretty stubborn and set in his ways. However he outright calls out [[spoiler: Arley]] for their actions and their motivations.
226* GoingForTheBigScoop: Walter is a journalist by trade, and is wanting to uncover any truths that are being held by the corrupt out there.
227* GoodIsNotNice: Closer to an AntiHero compared to Lewis of Season 2, Walter is a lot more prone to sarcasm, blunt remarks and saying it as it is. But despite these traits, he is still able to be empathetic to Hana's trauma and is very upset at the killers for what they did.
228* InformationWantsToBeFree: Walter's mindset when it comes to the truth.
229* InsistentTerminology: Is VERY clear that he wants to be called the "Ultimate Journalist," instead of, "Ultimate Paparazzi."
230* IntrepidReporter: His entire thing as the Ultimate Paparazzi, being someone who firmly believes in finding the truth no matter the cost.
231* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The main part of his character; he is a Boston-born reporter who made his claim to fame with exposing people's dirty laundry on the newspapers and other news sources that would take his stories. However, he makes it clear that he doesn't go after people who aren't hurting others, only the truly corrupt. Doesn't make him a totally goody-good though, he even outright admits to Jang-Mi that he is fully aware that he's a jerk.
232* PunnyName: his name is a thin pun on Water Gate, the hotel where a infamous scandal took place.
233* SchoolNewspaperNewshound: What he was when he was an Ultimate at Hopes Peak Academy. Is now graduated to a full-blown reporter.
234* {{Southies}}: Is born and raised in Boston, MA. And has the accent.
235* SpearCounterpart: DownplayedTrope, but is this to Mahiru Koizumi of VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair. He's always carrying a camera, is fairly opinionated, and has a strong protective instinct to others. However unlike Mahiru, he's a lot more confident in his talent.

238
239[[folder:Claude]]
240-> Played By: Avalaise
241* AcademicAthlete: Is shown to be very intelligent and is a skilled ice skater, so they are clearly fitting into this mold.
242* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: In comparison to Avalaise's other characters, Wysteria and Wolfgang, Claude is actually fairly friendly and polite to the other characters without really any hint of distance. They just like doing their own thing.
243* FigureSkater: Has this as their talent, and is very disappointed that they don't have a skating rink on the boat.
244* FriendToAllChildren: Next to Eric, Claude seems to be the one that Hana is the closest to as they have multiple Free Time Events together, and the two are shown to be rather close.
245* StrongerThanTheyLook: Despite their petite frame, they are shown to be pretty strong.
