23	!!Minori Watanabe - Ultimate Pseudologist
24	->''"The name's Minori Watanabe, and I'm the Ultimate Pseudologist."''
25
26	Minori is the protagonist of the story. Despite being an Ultimate, he seems to hate his talent since it gives him a bad reputation. He is levelheaded, though a bit socially awkward and polite.
27	----
28	* AdaptationalBadass: After the beginning part of the story, he really seemed to have learned how to be more assertive and blunt. He even stands up to Monokuma now!
29	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Or is he? [[spoiler:He had been brainwashed, so you can argue he wasn't truly at fault here for his actions. He definitely deserves some thought though given that he killed his father.]]
30	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: After the events of the entire killing game, [[spoiler:in Chapter 6 to the Epilogue it is revealed that he had been drugged constantly. He is the helper to Libertas and Sagiso, after all.]]

32	* BrokenAce: He could be considered this with how he hates his talent and that it always seems to give him a bad name for him.

34	* DeadpanSnarker: Minori can sometimes be shown doing this.
35	* HeroicBSoD: He went through a lot of this throughout the entire game, but it only went worst after Chapter 6. [[spoiler:He is now completely and utterly brainwashed.]]

37	* NiceGuy: He is polite towards the cast, though he does internally snark at times.
38	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Kaniza pointed out how Sagiso and Minori are more alike than they'd realized, and given the fact that those two have argued this point is only much more noticeable. Sagiso wants to unite the group and keep them safe from harm, and so she expects them to be trustful and honest to each other. This led to Minori arguing about how they must still be suspicious of each other. In the end, the duo both just want to keep everyone safe from murder, and it is to note they are the supposed 'leaders' of the group.
39	* TheProtagonist: He is the main character of the story.
40	* TookALevelInJerkass: This is most noted in Chapter 3 when Minori's flaws started to become more noticeable, most particularly his obsession with being depended on. Luckily it seemed like he's trying to change this.
41	* WhatTheHellHero: During Chapter 3, Minori got into a huge argument with Sagiso which ended up causing him to look like a huge jerkass in the end.

46
47	Haruko (prefers to be called Ko) is the Ultimate Chocolatier. He is bubbly and energetic, coming off as a kid. He seems to be naive and tends to be distracted easily.
48
49	----
50	* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Haruko is definitely the cute one of the group, acting like a kid. It also adds on to how short he is, one of the shortest of the cast.
51	* BeneathTheMask: [[spoiler: From Haruko's free time events, it is revealed that Haruko is acting like a child on purpose in order to cope with his little brother's death.]]

57	* OlderThanTheyLook: Haruko looks like a kid, but he is definitely a high schooler.
58	* [[spoiler: SacrificialLamb: Haruko can be considered this.]]

63	-->''"Kakuma Arakaki. Some would know me as the Ultimate Wedding Planner."''
64
65	Kakuma is the Ultimate Wedding Planner. He presents himself as a rude person, having been the one (if not the only) person who has grown a dislike for the protagonist, and for him it is solely because of his talent.
66	----
67	* JerkAss: Kakuma seems to present himself as one.
68	* JerkassHasAPoint: What Kakuma said about the killing game and about how he doesn't trust anyone can come off as this. He is right in that it isn't likely everyone won't harm each other, and he is right in that it doesn't matter if they go in groups or not.
69	* [[spoiler: TheMole: Kakuma explains to Minori near the start of Chapter 3 that he will willingly become the 'traitor' in order to obtain information from Monokuma.]]
70	* TheRival: He seems to be coming off as this potentially to Minori, him having judged the other for his talent solely. [[spoiler: Though not anymore, considering he's dead.]]
71	* TookALevelInKindness: In Chapter 3, it is implied that Kakuma actually wanted to become friends with the others.
72	* Tsundere: This is how his actions may be perceived as.

78	-->''"A-ah, right. Um... I'm Nezumi Jirokichi... Do I have to say it? Fine, but don't hurt me! I-I'm the Ultimate Thief! Ack, don't hurt me!"''
79
80	Nezumi, despite being a thief, is very timid and fearful. He is easily afraid of anything and is prone to apologizing. Nezumi is also a kleptomanic, and that might be because he is a thief that he gained that trait of his.
81	----
82	* AdaptationalBadass: He definitely went through this in Chapter 2.
83	* BadassAdorable: Nezumi, despite being timid, is still an Ultimate Thief for a reason. Just look at his performance with Seiga in Chapter 2!

86	* NiceGuy: Nezumi is definitely one of the more nicer people.

88	* ShipTease: To Kaniza. [[spoiler: In Chapter 2, he confessed to Kaniza and they are now officially a couple!]]
89	* [[spoiler: TooHappyToLive: Having confessed to Kaniza and developing into a more confident person, he obviously had to go.]]
90	[[/folder]]

92	!!Fumio Fujiyoshi - Ultimate Scholar
93	-->''"My name is Fumio Fujiyoshi, and I'm the Ultimate Scholar."''
94
95	Fumio is the Ultimate Scholar. He is mute, which is the primary reason why he writes his thoughts in his notepad. He seems to be a shy and quiet individual, docile to a point.
96	----
97	* DeadpanSnarker: Fumio has shades of this.
98	* TheQuietOne: He is mute, but he does tend to write in his notepad when he wants to.
99	** Him [[spoiler: being mute is a lie though]], as seen during Chapter 3.
100	* TheReliableOne: He was the one who saved the group during a trial, and nonetheless seems very smart as well.
101	* TheSpeechless: Fumio is mute, so he speaks through his notepad. [[spoiler: That is a lie though.]]
102	* TookALevelInBadass: He saved everyone in the [[spoiler: second trial]]. He also looked like he's taking on the role of Minori's partner during the third trial.

106	--> ''"The name's Seiga Kosoku! Remember the name kid, for I am the Ultimate Stunt Double!"''
107
108	Seiga is the Ultimate Stunt Double, and with such a daring talent comes his boisterous personality. He seems to believe that the killing game isn't real, but he is willing to help others and protect others in the name of being a hero.
109	----
110	* ActionHero: He is definitely one in the show he starred in and is a stunt double, after all. This is also shown when he and the others confronted Monokuma, him being the one to fight the bear.
111	* AdaptionalJerkass: Well, wouldn't necessarily label him as being a jerkass, but some could view [[spoiler: Seiga violently yelling at Minori for the second class trial's result]] as this.
112	* BadassBoast: He does boast a lot, but they are creditable considering he is the Ultimate Stunt Double, and during Chapter 1 he did make an awesome move against Monokuma.
113	* BigBrotherInstinct: He definitely has this to Minori and the others. He was the one who helped get Nezumi off of his feet and help Minori, after all.
114	* BigDamnHero: This is what Seiga imagines himself to be, considering that he believes he and the others are in some reality show.
115	* BoisterousBruiser: He loves some action, and he loves boasting about how he's the 'main character' of the story.
116	* CharacterTics: Seiga is usually shown to be cracking his knuckles.

121	* TookALevelInJerkass: In Chapter 3.
122	* UngratefulBastard: Towards Fumio.
123	* WrongGenreSavvy: Seiga thinks he is the hero to stop the villain. Well, considering this is Danganronpa, things aren't at all black or white, nor that easy buddy...
124	[[/folder]]
125	[[folder:RyoichiHomura]]
126	!!Ryoichi Homura - Ultimate Extraterrestrial Investigator
127	--> ''"My name is Ryoichi Homura, it's nice to meet you sir! I am the Ultimate Extraterrestrial Investigator."''
128
129	With such a strange talent, Ryoichi is strange himself. He believes that mostly everything came from aliens, and for a moment he did believe Monokuma was one.
130	----
131	* [[spoiler: BloodFromTheMouth: When he had poisoned himself.]]
132	* CharacterTics: Ryoichi tends to make statements about aliens and will refer to his classmates as "Mr./Ms. (Last Name)".
133	* OverlyPolitePals: He tends to be polite to others, always referring to them by last name.
134	* StupidGood: He does have good intentions, but his plan in Chapter 3 is risky.
135	[[/folder]]
136	[[folder:KamuiSetsushi]]
137	!!Kamui Setsushi - Ultimate Mortician
138	--> ''"My name is Kamui Setsushi. I have been given the title of Ultimate Mortician. It is an honor to meet you."''
139
140	Kamui is the Ultimate Mortician. He is very logical and firmly believes in helping the others to escape from Monokuma's grasp. He never raises his voice.
141	----
142	* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: Though he didn't die like Asami, he was still someone who was willing to sacrifice someone in order to protect the rest.]]
143	* TheCaretaker: Towards Rin.
144	* TheLeader: He used to have this role alongside Asami in the first chapter.

150	!!Saori Arai - Ultimate Body Broker
151	->''"My name is Saori Arai, and I am the Ultimate Body Broker."''
152

154	----
155	* TheCaretaker: Saori goes out of her way to help people. First, she helped Minori try to talk to Fumio. Now, in Chapter 3, she is reaching out to Sheina alongside Kamui and Rin.

157	* TheStoic: Saori doesn't seem to talk unless she feels like doing so.

162
163	Fuwari (prefered to be called Fiona) is a spirit medium who believes firmly that Monokuma is a spirit. She is a firm believer of whatever she believes in, and is very calm. She could, however, emit a dark aura around her, though unintentionally.
164	----
165	* [[spoiler: MercyKill: This is what Rin did to Fuwari.]]
166	* [[spoiler: PhonyPsychic: Fuwari being a spirit medium is a lie. She cannot perform seances at all.]]
167	* RagsToRiches: Fuwari's backstory. She became an Ultimate when she had nothing, after all.
168	* TheQuietOne: Fuwari is mysterious.
169	[[/folder]]
170	[[folder:KanizaTsukitaiyo]]
171	!!Kaniza Tsukitaiyo - Ultimate Astrophotographer
172	-->''"The name's Kaniza Tsukitaiyo, and I'm the Ultimate Astrophotographer! It's a pleasure to meet you."''
173
174	Kaniza loves to talk about stars and astrology, and that would make sense given her talent. She is very friendly and easily forgiving of others, though she could be a bit too trusting.
175	----
176	* AllLovingHero: Kaniza has never once shown her dislike or distaste towards any of the characters.
177	* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: Kaniza seems to be whirling down in a spiral straight into Chapter 3. Her positivism may have annoyed Rin and because of the last two trials, she is much more nervous. This became worse when she realized that something was wrong between Minori and Sagiso, and especially when her boyfriend was murdered... and that she's naked...]]
178	* DitzyGenius: Kaniza is a sweet and energetic person, and to top that off she is an Ultimate!
179	* GenkiGirl: She is one of the more upbeat and energetic characters in the cast.
180	* NiceGuy: She is definitely one of the nicest people in the cast.
181	* OfficialCouple: Towards Nezumi!
182	* ShipTease: With Nezumi. She is the only one who calls him affectionately with the name 'Nezzy' as well. [[spoiler: The ship is now canon in Chapter 2.]]

184	[[folder:AmytoUchida]]
185	!!Amyto Uchida - Ultimate Hypnotist
186	--> ''"Hello, my name's Amyto Uchida, and I'm the Ultimate Hypnotist!"''
187
188	Judging from her talent, one would've assumed Amyto was quite the mysterious and shady character. However, she is the opposite, being friendly and a bit of a ditz at times.
189	----
190	* BigEater: From the many scenes, she seemed to be this.
191	* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: Amyto is not actually a nice person. She was faking it all this time, having been the one to kill Fuwari and having wanted to torture Minori. She also mentions that she views everyone as 'test subjects', not as 'friends'. The only person she ever cared about was Sai.]]
192	* BreakTheCutie: [[spoiler: When Asami was about to be executed and after the first case, she definitely was broken.]]
193	* [[spoiler: NotAsYouKnowThem: Amyto is actually faking her outward persona.]]
194	* [[spoiler: The Fake Cutie: Amyto is only happy-go-lucky and hyper because of the drugs she takes. Her real personality is that of a gloomy and uncaring individual.]]
195	* [[spoiler: Yandere: Amyto's reason in killing Fuwari was because she believed that the reality she was living in was fake and that she needed to create a world in where she could live with Sai. Why kill Fuwari? Well, she needed test subjects for her to test out her hypnotism.]]
196	[[/folder]]
197	[[folder:AsamiKarihime]]
198	!!Asami Karihime - Ultimate Knight
199	-->''"It's an honor to meet you! It is I, the Ultimate Knight and vanquisher of darkness, Asami Karihime! If it pleases you, I would greatly enjoy working alongside you!"''
200

203	* ActionHero: Well, she is the Ultimate Knight for a reason.
204	* BewareTheNiceOnes: [[spoiler: Though still good at heart, she did kill Haruko.]]
205	* GenkiGirl: She is definitely one of the more energetic and outspoken, friendly ones of the cast.
206	* GoGetterGirl: She is polite, being a knight and is one of the more outspoken ones of the cast. She's also one of the people in charge of wanting to stop Monokuma and to find a way to escape.
207	* [[spoiler: Heroic Sacrifice: Asami and Kamui decided to kill Haruko in order to save the others from dying (Chapter 1). Since Monokuma was going to kill them under a few hours, they felt like they had no choice but to kill someone. Asami was executed in the following case.]]
208	* IdealHero: Asami definitely sees herself as this, which isn't a surprise considering her talent. She is the type to help people and is really polite and kind.
209	* TeamMom: She is very keen on protecting the other Ultimates and tries her best to find a way out with them, no matter what happens.
210	* TheFace: Considering she was the one who came up with the plans in Chapter 1, she is this. She also does most of the talking against Monokuma other than Kakuma and some others.

214	--> ''"Kneel, subject, for you are in the august presence of Sheina Yakumoro the 12th, the Ultimate Egyptologist! I am the physical embodiment of Horus, Son of Osris, and the ruler of the Upper and Lower Kingdoms!"''
215
216	Sheina is a strange woman, being what many would assume a 'chuunibyou'. However, she is a chuunibyou towards Egyptian mythology. That doesn't stop her, however, from being intellectual and caring over her peers.
217	----
218	* CharacterDevelopment: From a confident and haughty Pharaoh wannabe to a [[spoiler: more isolated woman, or at least so far]].
219	* CharacterTics: Sheina is usually shown to be speaking about the 'Son of Osiris' and anything related to Egyptian mythology.
220	* Chuunibyou: She is this for Egyptian mythology and history.
221	* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler: She lost both of her close friends in Chapter 2. What made it worse was that Amyto's very different from her persona.]]
222	* LargeHam: Her constant talk about the Egyptian Gods, her being a Pharoah, and her 'subject' talk are all this.
223	* OverlyLongName: ... Sheina, is that even your real name?
224	[[/folder]]
225	[[folder:RinHoseki]]
226	!!Rin Hoseki - Ultimate Jeweler
227	--> ''"My name is Rin Hoseki, and I am the Ultimate Jeweler."''
228
229	Rin is the Ultimate Jeweler. She is very quiet, looming in the background to watch over the others. She seems to be someone who does her own thing, and whether she cares about the others or not remains unknown.
230	----
231	* [[spoiler: BrokenTears: She had a breakdown in Chapter 2's class trial.]]
232	* BrutalHonesty: Rin has shades of this.

236	* TheQuietOne: She is known to be the quiet one.
237	* TheStoic: Rin doesn't seem to reveal her emotions too much.

240	!!Sagiso Hazuki - Ultimate Psychogeographer
241	--> ''"Ah, sorry about that. My name is Sagiso Hazuki. I know, it's a bit of an odd name. Don't mind it, I really like my name. I'm the Ultimate Psychogeographer."''
242
243	Sagiso is a very caring individual. She seems to care for the others, invading into the personal space to take care of whoever she's fussing over. She could come off a bit bossy and nosy, though it seems most likely that she care for the others.
244	----
245	* [[spoiler:BigBad: She is the mastermind of the entire game.]]
246	* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Given that she is the mastermind, this can be the case. This does fall into her want to keep Minori as seen in the epilogue.]]
247	* BreakTheCutie: When Minori and Sagiso argued.
248	* FatalFlaw: You could argue that Sagiso's nosiness and sense of leadership is this. Though it is good, it can be abused. Her nosiness led to her expecting people to tell her everything, and this led to her huge argument with Minori. This only escalated further when she sees him with Monokuma, and now she is led to believe he isn't trustworthy anymore.
249	* GoGetterGirl: Sagiso is the leader of the group, taking after Asami.
250	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: She is this, especially to Minori.
251	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Kaniza pointed out how Sagiso and Minori are more alike than they'd realized, and given the fact that those two have argued this point is only much more noticeable. Sagiso wants to unite the group and keep them safe from harm, and so she expects them to be trustful and honest to each other. This led to Minori arguing about how they must still be suspicious of each other. In the end, the duo both just want to keep everyone safe from murder, and it is to note they are the supposed 'leaders' of the group.
252	* ShipTease: Mainly with Minori. Minori is shown to fluster around with her and Sagiso is shown to invade his personal space. She is shown to show great concern over him.
253	* TeamMom: She always moves into others' personal space and tries to fix them up, especially from her scenes with Minori.
254	* TheLeader: She is the one who mainly leads the group.
255	* [[spoiler:Yandere: She can be seen acting like this towards Minori by the end of the story.]]
256	[[/folder]]
257
258	!!Monokuma
259	[[folder:Monokuma]]
260	!!!Monokuma
261
262	Monokuma is the main villain of the story. He is the one who, like always, throws the poor cast of Ultimates into the Killing Game.
263	----
264	* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Monokuma in this story seemed to be much more willing to bend the rules. He also acts a bit more sane than in the original games, where he is much more boisterous and whatnot.
265	* BigBad: He is the only villain of the story so far, if not for the supposed mastermind or whoever it is behind the scenes.
