Danganronpa: Gilded Cage
is Massive Multiplayer Crossover written by CeladonRam where sixteen characters from various franchises are forced to “participate” in a Killing game from Danganronpa.
Adrien Agreste, also known as Cat Noir, wake up in a strange place with fifteen others strangers with no idea how he got there, why and without his Miraculous. Things somehow go even worse when a familiar teddy bear reveal that they are actually in a spaceship and there is only one way out:To kill another without being caught.
Now thrown in a despairing situation, Adrien must try to solve the mysteries of the Starship Despair while hoping that nobody will succumb to Monokuma's game.
Danganronpa: Gilded Cage provides examples of:
- The Coroner: Because Princess Remedy is a healing and medical expert, she became this during the investigation as she is only one who have the competence of doing it.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: Susato is this, being from Japan during the Meiji Restoration while the other passengers are either from modern era, futuristic setting or fantasy worlds. She becomes fascinated with the technological developments since her time, notably with cinema.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Katniss rapidly establish herself as this as she immediately tries to kill Hiro before Monokuma even finished explaining the rules of the Killing Game, her distrust and barely concealed hostility don't help either.
- After Karma tries to kill Katniss at the party in Chapter 1, He became this as the depth of his sociopathy is shown to the other passagers.
- Humans Through Alien Eyes: Being from a world without humans, Legoshi has a hard time wrapping his head around them and even ask if they sleep. He also notes that nobody else seems to smell like herbivores, not even Noelle.
- Innocently Insensitive: When meeting Legoshi, Noelle says she is happy to not be the only monster on board. Legoshi, not understanding she speaking about her species, is hurt at whats seems to be an accusation and immediately leave the room.
- Obvious Rule Patch: Katniss tries to stockpile foods and hole herself in her appartment to avoid contact with the other passengers. The next day she reveals that Monokuma took away the food saying she's not playing the game right.
- Later, after Karma trap Monokuma by just restraining him, while pointing out the rules never said they couldn't trap the headmaster. Monokuma immediately changes the rules to stop from happening later.
- Once Done, Never Forgotten: Some of the participants' talents are based on single events in their respective franchise without the context. For example, Susato is the Super Duper High School Crossdresser for the time she pretended to be a male attorney because Meiji Japan prohibited women from participating in court outside of being a witness in crime, Legoshi is the Super Duper High School Cannibal for when he ate the leg of his schoolmate Louis (who gave it to him willingly) to fight off a stronger carnivore, Hiro is the Super Duper High School Dogfighter for his past in bot-fighting (which he dropped during the start of Big Hero 6)
- Sacrificial Lion: Subaru establish himself rapidly as the leader of the group and tries to steer the group from Monokuma's game by trying to keep them united. Unfortunately, he ends being the first victim.
- Surrounded by Idiots: Akechi is this during the first trial, as he desperately tries to steer the trial towards a resolution that won't end with most of them getting killed despite the colourful cast throwing baseless accusations or going on tangents. Adrien notes that Akechi look ready to scream after this exchange:Legoshi:"Oh, I get it. Subaru must have been like a giraffe."Giovanni:"Like, he had a long neck…?"Karma:“Wouldn’t that be Candace?”Candance: “Hey!”Akechi: "Dear god, why.This is a murder trial.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Katniss initially thinks that the Killing Game is similar to the Hunger Games and is immediately hostile towards the other passengers, acting as if the game is a Battle Royale. After the first trial, she realizes she clearly misread the situation and as she notes, she only made her the perfect scapegoat as everyone would probably vote for her now if another murder happen.
