Dueling Trigger Finger - Class 78 / Characters

open/close all folders

General Tropes

Adaptational Early Appearance: Being that the story starts way before the events of the first game take stage, all of them qualify as this: All of them make appearances during the prologue, Makoto, Celeste, Byakuya, Leon, Hifumi, Junko and Mukuro appear as Battle City contestants (with the first three even making it to the finals), Chihiro, Sayaka and Toko also appear during the Battle City arc as minor/recurring roles, and Kyoko makes her first full-fledged appearance in Chapter 67 during the Orichalcos arc.

Makoto Naegi

All-Loving Hero:
- Proves himself as this when he shows sympathy to Miho and Noah, and raises the suggestion of saving them. This is despite the fact Noah has trapped them in a virtual world and is trying to steal their bodies, and Miho's kidnapped Tristan.
- It goes a step further in Chapter 48: after watching Noah turn several of his friends, including his sister, to stone, Makoto is furious and yet still finds it in his heart to forgive him.
Badass Adorable: Makoto is a kind, gentle, albeit sometimes nerdy young boy. But in no way do those take away from his ability to kick your ass in a duel or engage in deduct reasoning. Just ask Noah. Come the Battle City Finals, he even managed to put Yugi to his limits!
Badass Normal: Despite not having any previous tournament wins or renown, he manages to become a competitor in the Battle City finals. And unlike Hajime, he lacks a powerhouse monster like Five-Headed Dragon to help him out.
Berserk Button: Do not under any circumstances mess with his sister because god have mercy on you if you do, ain't that right Noah?'
Beware the Nice Ones: Holy crow! Mild-mannered Nice Guy he may be, but lord help you if you actually manage to piss him off. He will bring all his fury down on you and he won't back down, as Noah learns.
Big Brother Instinct: Towards Komaru, as something he promised their parents. See No Kill like Overkill on the main page for details of what happens when you mess with his sister.
The Bus Came Back: After being absent from the Orichalcos and Canadian arcs, he returns (with the rest of Class 78) when his class finally starts attending Hope's Peak.
Covert Pervert: He has a centerfold of Junko's cosplay as Dark Magician Girl, which is described as a risque pin-up.
Determinator: He will never, ever give up, much to Junko's delight and consternation.
Fanboy: Of both Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba, to the point of focusing on both Spellcasters and Dragons as his primary monsters. He does seem to gravitate more towards Kaiba though. Byakuya even lampshades in fanboyism in Chapter 56.
Good Is Not Soft: He's a complete sweetie pie who believes in the best of everyone. He will also ruthlessly kick your ass in a duel if need be as Noah found out.
The Knights Who Say "Squee!": He is absolutely giddy when Kaiba gives him an Affectionate Gesture to the Head for his victory over Noah using Kaiba's deck.
Morality Pet: For Kaiba, who gradually softens towards and becomes protective of him. He's even proud of Makoto in Chapter 48 and gives him an Affectionate Gesture to the Head!
Nice Guy: So much. Makoto treats everyone with kindness and understanding, which has endeared him to many, including Mukuro Ikusaba and the otherwise aloof Kaiba.
No Kill like Overkill: How his victory over Noah goes. With a combination of cards, he pumps up Kaiba's Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to a whopping 13000 and then uses it to blast through Noah's 2200 ATK Yamato-no-Kami dealing 10,800 damage to Noah's remaining 4350 LP.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: From Komaru's standpoint, she's never seen Makoto really get angry or yell at someone prior to the events of chapter 48. And then Noah pushed one too many buttons
Put on a Bus: For being one of the defining characters of the Danganronpa series, he is notably absent from the Orichalcos arc.
Screw Destiny: His mindset is that the future is never set in stone and can always be changed. Additionally, his luck is so powerful it literally screws with Ishizu's future-seeing abilities.
Ship Tease: With Sayaka in Chapter 11 and Mukuro in the Chapter 21-23 mini-arc. And once the two start interacting in chapter 97, both of them at the same time.
Shut Up, Hannibal!: Gives one of these to Noah after he mocks Mai's Taking the Bullet for Joey. Even Makoto has limits to his patience and good will after all.
Unluckily Lucky: As usual, Makoto's brand of Ultimate Luck takes the form of seemingly bad luck that is actually good luck in disguise. For example, he tries to play Swords of Revealing Light against Ishizu, only to discover that he had discarded it by mistake during the previous turn. It certainly sounds like he's screwed, but Ishizu was ready to counter Swords of Revealing Light since she had forseen him playing it, so she's actually the one screwed as her vision gets sent Off the Rails and she has no idea what to expect next, allowing Makoto to win.
Weak, but Skilled: Makoto doesn't have the raw power or complex strategies of some other duelists—but he does have a wide assortment of knowledge of dueling strategies, come from following Yugi and Kaiba's careers closely, and has been using his deck for years, granting him intimate knowledge and comfort with it. Combined with his luck, it makes him a smart and tough cookie to pin down.
When He Smiles: It makes Mukuro practically fall in Love at First Sight.
Wide-Eyed Idealist: He doesn't just want Miho and Noah to be saved; he truly believes they can be. And, thus far for Miho, he's right. As for Noah, he still believes this even after Noah used Mokuba to cheat on his victory against Kaiba, and turning Ibuki, Mai and especially Komaru to stone.

Junko Enoshima

Actually Pretty Funny: Junko has to try her best not to roll on the floor laughing at London Kurioboh's jokes during the Grand Championship's opening ceremonies.
Alpha Bitch: Is she ever. She's gorgeous, popular, and a highly-respected gyaru in society. She's also evil to the core.
Ascended Extra: She initially appears in only a minor role during the Battle City arc, only to take a more active involvement in the story by that arc's conclusion, starting with torturing Ishizu into a remnant of Despair, killing Odion, and breaking Marik back into his Superpowered Evil Side.
Berserk Button: Doesn't like it when she doesn't get her desired Despair. Makoto taking his defeat against Yugi in Battle City in stride leaves her screaming into a pillow.
- Recently developed a new one: trying to take Yugi from her. Vivian Wong found out the hard way what the response is.
Big Bad Friend: This seems to be Junko's intentions for the moment as she has spent her screen time amongst Yugi and his friends very benign and rather helpful. Gird your loins.
Black Comedy: A good number of her quips and antics give off this vibe. Comedic in that they can be hilarious, black for the fact that well...it's freaking Junko we are talking about here.
Break Them by Talking: A favorite tactic of hers, especially in this fic. She uses this to brainwash Ishizu, give Rafael a "Reason You Suck" Speech, and get under Kaiba's skin by pointing out that he and Joey aren't so different despite Kaiba's hostility towards Joey.
Casting a Shadow/Dark Is Evil: In Duel Monsters, a majority of her monsters are DARK-Attribute and are mainly Fiend-Typed, reflecting her true demonic nature.
Cold-Blooded Torture: Inflicts this on Ishizu. Later gives Rafael and Vivian Wong some as well (thankfully off-screen).
The Corrupter: She tortures, through various means, Ishizu into becoming a Remnant, and then reveals this to Marik to push him off the edge. She does the same to Rafael, and is implied to do the same to Ruruka.
Didn't See That Coming: As she and Matsuda discover, Junko genuinely fell in love with Yami during the Orichalcos arc. This (and her subsequent lack of usual responses to Matsuda) legitimately caught her off-guard.
Domestic Abuse: Physically and emotionally horrible to her sister.
Engineered Public Confession: Pulls one of these on Rafael in Chapter 79, recording his direct threat on her as part of her ploy to slander him in everyone's eyes.
Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Unfortunately, the more Junko loves someone, the more she wants to see them suffer despair at her own two hands. If she's in love with someone they need to run and get as far away from her as possible.
Even Evil Has Standards: Junko won't kill Hajime and Chiaki's baby, either because he's a baby or because she can do more despair inducing things by leaving Izuru alive than with his corpse.
Evil Cannot Comprehend Good: During Chapter 73, when Yami reveals that Yugi offered his soul to the Orichalcos in his place, Junko actually feels confused if not outright distraught of why someone like Yugi would do such a thing.
Evil Is Not a Toy: Junko finds out that her messing around with the Orichalcos magic caused her fabricated crush on Yugi and the Pharaoh to turn real, a realization that comes as a surprise to both her and her now ex-boyfriend Yasuke Matsuda.
Exact Words: During the duel with Seto Kaiba in Noah's virtual world arc, disguised as Monokuma, Junko promises to tell Kaiba where she sent Mokuba to if he won. Come the duel's end, and Kaiba's victory, Kaiba demands to know where Mokuba is, but Junko remarks that she only promised to tell Kaiba where he is, but never specified she would say how to get there. Kaiba was not amused.
Femme Fatale: Implied, what with dressing up like Pegasus's deceased wife to get in his good books. Outright confirmed in her interactions with Yami where she's not above applying her charms to mess around with his mind.
Greater-Scope Villain: Junko is not the starring villain of Battle City, Virtual World, or Orichalcos arcs, but any Danganronpa fan knows this twisted little psychopath is cooking something up.
Honey Trap: In addition to crushing Yami's psyche and making him more prone to despair, Junko also seems to be keen on seducing him or Yugi to snatch them from under Téa's nose. See "Take That!" Kiss below.
Hope Crusher: Junko loves despair to fetish levels, and loves nothing more than spreading it. A particular favorite is winning or watching someone win right when their opponent thought they had it in the bag.
Junko: I want to see that raw determination you showed Crowler...just so I can knock it down.
Insistent Terminology: When Kaiba likens Monokuma to a four-year-old's interpretation of a panda, Junko, as Monokuma, corrects him in that it's a 10-year-old's interpretation, likely referring to how Monokuma was made by Monaca Towa.
Jerkass Has a Point: As soul-crushing as it was for Rafael, Junko does make several good points in regards to questioning his motives. She also calls him out ignoring his sister Sonia in favor of serving Dartz despite Sonia's condition is pretty much living proof that Dartz's words were lies. Suffice to say, Rafal does not take this well at all.
Knight of Cerebus: There is a sharp tonal difference between Chapter 61 and the rest of the fic, where she begins her plans to destroy the world. The author even bumps up the fic's rating to M starting from the Orichalcos arc.
Manipulative Bitch: This being Junko, you can expect a lot of moments where she shows this:
- She wormed her way into Pegasus's favor by making emotional appeals and doing housework. And occasionally, dressing up as his dead wife.
- She also worms her way into Yugi's circle of friends by pretending to be a good person all as part of her ploy to corrupt Yami as part of her long-term plans.
- To say nothing of what she did to Ishizu.
- Taken to the extreme levels in Chapters 79-80 where she not only defeats Rafael before the Pharoah can on top of also emotionally and mentally breaking him, but also initiates a Wounded Gazelle Gambit to make everyone think she's the victim among the two duelists. And even when displaying her true persona, it can easily be hand-waved by the Orichalcos corrupting her.
- During chapter 100, she has a long talk with Yami and Yugi about her behavior, but the conversation ends up switching topics to the point that Junko is able to get them to agree that their belief in destiny isn't all its cracked up to be, citing examples of how to prove that destiny is only what you make it.
Not Me This Time: When Téa sees Yami Drunk on the Dark Side in chapter 73, she immediately assumes Junko is responsible and slaps her across the face. Junko quickly affirms, with supporting evidence, that, for once, she's not to blame.
O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Upon meeting up with Matsuda, she doesn't immediately press her breasts to his back as she usually does because she now loves Yami instead of him. This actually prompts her to get her head examined.
Precision F-Strike: During her duel with Rafael, she mimics a line from Abridged regarding his use of Dreadscythe and calls him a "Giant fucking hypocrite".
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: Delivers one to Weevil by quoting the abridged series, including a mention of MushroomMan.
- She also delivers one to Rafael that also doubles as a Breaking Speech during their duel.
- Downplayed during her duel with Zigfried. Junko admits she could be going harder on the German fop, but ultimately cuts herself short because if she went farther, she'd have to out Zigfried for his true colors in front of everyone, which both know would result in Zigfried's immediate DQ. Why Junko didn't do this when she loves doing it remains a mystery.
Screw Destiny: It's unknown if this is just how she feels, or if she's just spouting it to further her own ends—this is Junko after all—but she definitely seems to dislike the concept of destiny and fate. Both reasons make sense:
- If she's being genuine, it could stem from how she wants things to be more unpredictable and the idea that events are preordained or unavoidable mock the very basis of her talent and the ability to see infinite possibilities.
- If she's just spouting platitudes, the longer she continues to advocate for this mentality, the easier it becomes for her to manipulate Yugi and Yami who are of the latter mentality.
Stepford Smiler: Type C, aka "looks nice and friendly on the outside, out for blood on the inside."
Troll: Never more evident than while posing as Monokuma. She also invokes a case of Did They or Didn't They? with Yami until she busts a gut laughing, unable to keep up the facade any longer and comes clean that she was just messing with him.
"Take That!" Kiss: Junko manipulates Yami into kissing her after he defeats her in a duel while the Seal of Orichalcos is activated. She then invokes this trope by deliberately opening her eyes and making eye contact with Téa, just to irritate the brunette.
Toxic Friend Influence: And very very subtle about it too. Junko has spent some of her interactions with the Pharaoh trying to guide him in the direction of falling into despair. And his duels with Rafael and Weevil aren't helping matters...
Villain Has a Point: Junko's betrayal of Dartz is justified by her by pointing out If the Seal of Orichalcos is going to take the heroes' souls anyway, she may as well be the one getting the 500 attack point boost.
- Yami and Yugi also find it difficult to argue with her during some of her speeches of how she views the world in chapter 100.
Villainous Crush: Develops one on Yugi (both of them) at the tail-end of the Orichalcos arc, much to her surprise.
Villain Takes an Interest: Makoto's determination, luck, and optimistic nature catch her eye immediately. The fic also starts when Junko becomes interested in Duel Monsters as a potential way to bring despair.
- She also appears to be quite interested in Yugi Muto.
- In chapter 73, she explicitly refers to Rafael as "Not boring" due to his speeches greatly resembling her own philosophy. She unfortunately makes good on that interest in chapter 85.
We Can Rule Together: Once she sets her twisted little black heart on Yugi, she intends to make him her "King of Despair".
Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Pulls this in Chapter 79 during her duel against Rafael, all to garner sympathy from Yami and everyone else present. Suffice to say, it works.
Xanatos Speed Chess: Junko is the master of this.
- Her actions in the Orichalcos arc are this. She pretended to join Dartz and then took the Orichalcos seal with her, just so she could spend time among Yugi and his friends, acting as their friend and ally. She used this to great advantage so that, ultimately, Yami would take her soul and Dartz would be gotten out of her way by the good guys, leaving her in the good graces of the protagonists, and able to blame all of her horrible actions on the Orichalcos making her Brainwashed and Crazy. And it works. Time will tell how this will pan out in the long run.
Yandere: She becomes this for Yugi. She only decided to do what she did to Vivian Wong after the other girl insisted that she'd make Yugi her boyfriend.
You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: A possible interpretation of her killing Zigfried so that he couldn't turn on her later.

Celestia Ludenberg

Adaptational Badass: She was already competent to start with in canon, but here she's a freaking treat. Not only is she one of the more skilled duelists in the story, but she is putting that gambling talent of hers to work given her collusion with Marik.
Berserk Button: Bringing up Taeko Yasuhiro, her real name. Johnson pushing this button is the first thing to break her composure in the fic.
Born Lucky: Not as much as Makoto or Nagito, but as a gambler she does rely on quite a bit of luck. It usually pans out for her. Her luck is such that it's even able to beat a rigged game.
Casting a Shadow: Starting with the Canadian Nationals arc, Celeste runs a vampire deck, an archetype of dark-attribute monsters
Challenge Seeker: Why she enjoys her duels against Joey and Yugi so much—they're giving her a challenge, and she hasn't had one in way too long.
The Chessmaster: She plays Marik and the heroes for fools during Yugi's duel with Joey.
Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: If the side she's on isn't working out for her, Celeste has no problems leaving, usually finding some way to screw them over on her way out.
Consummate Liar: She is the "Queen of Liars", after all.
Curbstomp Battle: Delivers this to a Rare Hunter in her debut duel in Chapter 4 and later to Byakuya.
Everyone Has Standards: When she sees how upset Chiaki is before their duel, Celeste goes out of her way to deliver a pep talk. She has no problems psychologically breaking an opponent while playing, but she certainly won't start a battle until everyone is on the same ground.
Gentlewoman Snarker: She has a very poisonous tongue, but always whips out her insults in a polite manner and with a calm face.
Graceful Loser: She always makes it her policy to maintain an image of calm and grace, even when she loses, and holds no ill will for her loses to Chiaki, Joey, and Yugi.
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Celeste works with whoever she damn well pleases. This includes Marik, then seemingly backstabbing Marik to help the heroes, then backstabbing him for real.
Heel Realization: Goes through one of this when she realizes just how much of a genuine threat Yami Marik is to everyone around especially after seeing what he did to Mahiru. This causes her to start helping out Joey and the others to increase their chances in defeating Marik.
Noble Bird of Prey: While she has used various assortments of monsters throughout her duels, she seems to have a particular preference for Winged Beast monsters with most of them encompassing the stronger monsters in her deck. She abandons this trope for vampires later. See Casting a Shadow above.
Professional Gambler: It is her talent. Luck and skill are both games she knows well and embraces.
Ship Tease: Has these with Marik, Yugi and especially Joey.
Spell My Name With An S: Up until about chapter 120 the author consistently mistypes her last name as Ludenburg.
Took a Level in Kindness: Losing to Joey, then Yugi, and still being treated as a friend despite her multiple betrayals gives Celeste much to consider. She's still her usual haughty self, but slightly nicer to them both.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Yugi tells her this several times over.

Byakuya Togami

Adaptational Nice Guy: Like Kaiba, "nice guy" is still far too much of a stretch; but while Byakuya is still an elitist, condescending jerk, he comes off as less of a Jerkass than his canon self.
Authority Equals Asskicking: Plays a Monarch deck during the Battle City finals.
Character Development: Byakuya starts off arguably just as bad as Kaiba in having an ego the size of a blimp and ignoring the Power of Friendship, but from his losses in Battle City and his arguable bond with Joey, it's easy to see that he's coming around to being a better person. It's his acknowledgement of Bianca as his half-sister that really goes to show how much everyone's positivity is getting to him.
Curbstomp Battle: Has been on both the delivering and receiving end of this. Delivery-wise, he does this too Chihiro as a warm-up/warning to Seto Kaiba. Receiving-wise, he gets this from both Celeste and Nagito in quick succession.
A Day in the Limelight: The Canada Nationals arc features him as one of the primary main characters, alongside Joey and Mai.
Defrosting Ice King: While he's melting at glacial pace, the behavioral changes are notable if you squint.
Drowning My Sorrows: Does this at his suite after losing to Joey during the finals (and mind you, going off Chiaki's age, he's only fifteen!). When Joey and Mai confront him about the fact that he's only a minor, he simply replies with "I am Byakuya Togami."
Everyone Has Standards:
- Egotistical Jerkass he is, even he will not stoop to certain lows. While he thinks Mai turning down his offer to bear his children is something she'll regret, he's not going to force himself on her.
- He also refused to cooperate with the Big Five in taking down KaibaCorp, stating that if he ever wanted to do so, it would be under his own terms and within fair play.
- When his company's history of slave trafficking is brought up, he sniffs that he'll use his money more ethically.
- He also expresses disgust at Noah using Mokuba as a human shield.
Gentleman Snarker: He's a bit less rude than in canon, but still as snarky, making him more in line with this. In response to Komaru snapping at him to be careful of disrespecting Sweet Orchard in the presence of hundreds of the group's fans, he dryly says "Oh yes, dozens of rabid teenage females hoarding me because of something I said. Haven't dealt with that before."
Graceful Loser: As much as it pains him to even lose, he will at least acknowledge when others have beaten him and takes his losses with dignity.
Hidden Depths: Mentions during the Virtual World arc that he enjoys jungle hikes every once in a while.
Humiliation Conga: Not an entirely undeserved one, but he loses to Kaiba, Celeste and Nagito in rapid succession during the first part of the tournament. This results in him seeking to train under Solomon Muto and constructing his new deck just in time for the finals.
Kick the Dog: Calling Chihiro's monster, given when Byakuya wins their duel, "mediocre".
The Perfectionist: "A Togami strives to be perfect in all things", as he puts it.
Pet the Dog:
- Defends Joey when Kaiba calls him a talentless hack, keep in mind this immediately after Joey defeats him in the Battle City finals.
- He also backs Makoto's claim to Miho in Chapter 47 that Sayaka never stopped thinking about her even after her death although he immediately corrects Makoto in saying that he said this just to move the game forward and not out of sentimental care.
- During the Canada Nationals arc: Not only does he make it so that Joey can participate in the tournament, but he also helps him become an official Pro Duelist. Somewhat mitigated when he later tells Joey he only did so to fuel his own agendas, but still.
- Acknowledging Bianca as his half sister has to be the biggest example of this thus far since canon Byakuya always considered his half-siblings "dead to him".
Put on a Bus: During the Orichalcos arc.
- The Bus Came Back: During the Canada Nationals arc.
The Rival: To Kaiba, given that their companies are competitors. Kaiba doesn't really recognize him as a true equal, but still gets irritated by him.
Self-Made Man: He had to work hard for his position in the Togami Corporation, despite the wealth he was born into, and he's completely self-taught in dueling.
Skeptic No Longer: At first dismissive of things like "friendship", "belief", and "The Heart of the Cards", Byakuya has come around to accept and use the last after losing three times in a row, and is slowly coming around to the first two.
This Cannot Be!: Expresses this whenever he loses.
Unskilled, but Strong: His strategy with his first deck was simply overpowering his opposition using low-leveled beatsticks and other cards that only money could buy. This changes by the time of the Battle City finals and after his training under Solomon Muto.

Mukuro Ikusaba

Big Sister Instinct: Referring to Mukuro as an "enabler" to Junko's behavior aside, she at least tries to be a good big sister to the world's worst little sister alive.
Broad Strokes: The prologue shows that unlike in canon, she ends up participating in the Killing Game as herself instead of impersonating her sister Junko. However what caused this change and what in entails is still unknown.
Graceful Loser: Mukuro takes her loss to Makoto with calm acceptance.
Love at First Sight: She develops a crush on Makoto almost instantly.
My Sister Right Or Wrong: Is completely and utterly devoted to supporting her sister, no matter how immoral her ambitions are. Rafael actually calls her out on this mindset of hers at the end of Chapter 73.
No-Nonsense Nemesis: While "nemesis" might not be the proper word for it, Mukuro is certainly this to any would-be opponent of hers. She foregoes the cheesy one-liners and flourishing hand gestures, keeping her body still and speaking rather robotically of abilities activating. Makoto even tells her she can afford to loosen up a little.
The Stoic: Mukuro keeps a level head at almost all times and rarely expresses emotion.
Undying Loyalty: To her sister Junko.
What Is This Thing You Call "Love"?: Poor dear is completely confused by the feelings Makoto stirs in her.

Chihiro Fujisaki

Big Damn Heroes: Hacks into the virtual world's database to save the others from Gozaburo's monster, and also facilitate in their escape.
Disguised in Drag: He dresses like a girl to avoid being bullied for his "weak" personality.
Dude Looks Like a Lady/Wholesome Crossdresser: As per his home series.
Hero-Worshipper: Towards Kaiba, whose confidence and attitude he considers something to strive for.
Morality Pet: He's one of the few characters in the story that Kaiba actually treats with genuine kindness and concern.
Non-Action Guy: While he is a duelist, his skills is minimal compared to the other characters in this story. Instead his talents lie in programming and technology.
Shrinking Violet: Shy, sweet, reserved, and started dressing like a girl to escape his frequent bullies.
Techno Wizard: He's an absolute genius with technology, accepted into KaibaCorp initially because of his father, but quickly proving himself on his own merits. Now, he's not only helping them with several projects, he developed an AI testing program for the tournament that made it much larger than in Yu-Gi-Oh canon, is working on his own AI, and talks about writing programs on the fly. By the end of the Battle City arc, he's officially employed under KaibaCorp
Undying Loyalty: To Kaiba. Noah even notes during the Orichalcos arc at how his loyalty is only exceeded by Mokuba.
Workaholic: Upon being kicked out of the tournament, he opts to go back to work instead of relaxing.

Kyoko Kirigiri

Awesomeness by Analysis: As to be expected of her.
Demoted to Extra: Doesn't have much presence after arriving at Hope's Peak, mainly due to her loner tendencies.
Early-Bird Cameo: First appears in the prologue before making her first full-fledged appearance during the Orichalcos arc in Chapter 67.
The Smart Girl: Plays this role alongside Chihiro amongst Yukizome's group during the Orichalcos arc.
The Stoic: As per canon, she constantly presents herself in a professional and calculated manner.

Sayaka Maizono

Idol Singer: The leader of a group full of them.
Ship Tease: With Makoto throughout the entirety of Chapter 11.

Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jack

Abhorrent Admirer: Towards Mako Tsunami and later on Yugi after the latter separates her from Jack at the end of Chapter 17.
Death by Adaptation: Not her specifically, but Genocide Jack who is sent to the Shadow Realm courtesy of Yami WAY before the events of the first game even transpire.

Leon Kuwata

Batter Up!: Uses a FIRE Baseball-themed deck.
Casanova Wannabe: Tries hitting on Chiaki within seconds of meeting her, unforunately for him Chiaki was far from interested.
Leeroy Jenkins: Tries going for a One-Hit Kill against Chiaki but at the expense of his defenses. Chiaki then proceeds to decimate him with no trouble whatsover.
Mythology Gag: Him being the very first opponent in the story is likely a reference to him being the first killer in the first Danganronpa game.
Zerg Rush: His Ultimate Baseball deck focuses on mass-swarming Ultimate Baseball monsters to overwhelm the opposition. Unfortunately they tend to be on the weak side so the less numbers they have, the worse it is for them.

Hifumi Yamada

Fairy Sexy: Uses primarily female Fairy monsters.
Light 'em Up: Uses primarily LIGHT monsters.
Naughty Tentacles: Runs Lekunga, a one-eyed tentacle monster, alongside his fairies in order to deliberately invoke this trope.

Aoi Asahina

The Cameo: Shows up as a spectator in the practical exams.
Cool Big Sis: Acts like one to an amnesiac Yugi, not unlike how she is towards her own little brother Yuta in canon.

Sakura Oogami

Gentle Giant: As per canon, Sakura is a very nice young woman.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru

Early-Bird Cameo: Shows up in Chapter 86 as a prospective ultimate currently being scouted by Hope's Peak.

Mondo Oowada

Demoted to Extra: Hasn't had much presence in the story, even compared to the other Class 78 members.
