Danganronpa Zero
- For starters, take a look at the cover shown on the novel's page. Now notice which side of Monokuma's face Yasuke is on...
- Pay close attention during the first scene between Ryoko and Yasuke. The latter visibly hesitates before stating that the Parade might be orchestrated by a single person. Yasuke doesn't give his reasons as to why he believes that... mostly because he has perfectly good knowledge of what is going on.
- When the Steering Committee confronts Yasuke, it's vague at first as to what they're talking about. With the ending in mind, it becomes clear they're talking about his ability to erase people's memories.
- When Ryoko sees Junko for the first time, she gives a fairly cohesive description of her, but as for her face, she only describes her Black Eyes of Evil. This is a major clue to The Reveal that "Junko Enoshima" is Mukuro in disguise.
- As Junko gives a breaking speech to Ryoko detailing her desire To Create a Playground for Evil, she mostly refers to herself in the third person. It's another hint that Mukuro's impersonating Junko.
- When Ryoko's talking about The Power of Love in regards to Yasuke, Isshiki responds that love can cause people to do crazy and evil things. Now what is Yasuke driven by?
- After Ryoko knocks Isshiki out, he suddenly reappears unharmed. It turns out there's more than one Madarai running around.
- At one point, Ryoko is tied to Yasuke's bed while he is under it—something that's played for comedy. Kyoko's investigation of Yasuke's lab reveals that his bed conceals a passage into the storeroom used to help hide the corpses of the Steering Committee's members.
- On a more overall note, notice that nobody calls Ryoko by her name. People either avoid using her name (Yasuke) or refer to her by a nickname (Yuto). This eventually leads into the revelation that "Ryoko Otonashi" is the real Junko Enoshima.
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
- The very first promotional image for the game shows Komaru striking almost the exact same pose Junko Enoshima has in her official art.
- When the kids are discussing Masaru and Jataro's deaths, it's explicitly noted that in neither case was a body found. Turns out neither are actually dead.
- When Nagisa is explaining the motivation behind creating a children's paradise, Komaru quickly points out how implausible it is that every child in the city would hate adults as much as the Warriors of Hope do, to the point of wanting to murder their own parents. Nagisa just hand waves her rebuttal, saying that adults are so horrible it's natural for children to want to get rid of them. It turns out that Komaru was right. The Warriors of Hope are the only children acting out of their free will, while the Monokuma kids are being brainwashed by the helmets they wear.
- Kotoko's statement about liking sweet things and hating salty ones are an indication of how she was abused in the past.
- Why would a little girl in a wheelchair have a room that could only be accessed by a ladder? This clue eventually becomes the clue to finding the real door leading to Monaca.
- Some of the Warriors of Hope refer to Komaru as "Big Sis". Who else do they refer to as Big Sis?
Danganronpa Kirigiri
- Near the end of Volume 2, Fuhito contacts Kyoko and reveals that Shinsen is The Variationist, which comes off as very odd since it was said there was jamming equipment in place. As Volume 3 reveals, it most probably wasn't Fuhito talking...
Danganronpa Togami
- There are a number of references to a cows present in the Byakuya side of the story, with the deceleration mentioning a "pitiful cow" somewhere in the world and Taeko's title of "Cow Killer". It's revealed at the end of the first volume that the Togami Conglomerate's Dark Secret is tied the Kudan, a cow that can predict the future.
Killer Killer
- It's mentioned in the first chapter that cults have become more common after "that incident". That incident happens to be the Tragedy.
- The title's font bears a resemblance to Danganronpa's signature title.
- In Chapter 3, Saiyama is killed in a similar manner to Mukuro Ikusaba. Chapter 8 reveals that she was indirectly responsible for making Hijirihara obsessed with serial killings. Chapter 10 reveals that this also happened to Fujigawa, for completely different reasons.
- In Chapter 8, a flashback shows Fujigawa accidentally stepping on Hijirihara's face. The flashback in Chapter 10 shows a panicked Fujigawa stomping the class representative's face after the Giboura Massacre.
