This picture could have been Fanservice, yet this is just the beginning of her suffering in Hope's Peak Academy.

The Game

In general:

• The Dwindling Party gets driven home in so many ways. The elevator ride sequences, for instance, and the memorial pictures set up on each stand...
  • What's more, as the number of living characters gets smaller, the portion of the school you can explore gets bigger. In the beginning of the game, the dorm and first floor are filled with students, and in the last chapters you have to walk through empty hall after empty hall until you finally come across someone else.
• Completing all of Sakura's Free Time Events reveals that the person she could never defeat is her boyfriend, who ceded the title of strongest person to her when he became terminally ill. The last time she saw him, doctors had given him only six months to live, and while he was fighting, between two years actually having passed and the Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Incident in the World taking place, there's a high chance that he's dead by the time she commits suicide.
  • According to Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, he isn't... which means there's a good chance he witnessed her death on the broadcast.
    • The good news is, there's also a good chance he didn't witness her death as it happened, since it's heavily implied that the Captives were kept ignorant as to the Mutual Killing Game. What brings it back around to tearjerker territory is the fact that he therefore may well have spent all that time believing Sakura to be alive somewhere, and considering what he would have had to manage to survive to the end of Absolute Despair Girls, only to find he's actually outlived her...
• Some of the other Free Time Events, particularly those of, Toko, Mukuro Ikusaba disguised as Junko, and Byakuya.
  • In Toko's case, she was humiliated by a boy who was set up on a date with her as a 'punishment' from his friends. Toko eventually uses her skills to write a semi autobiographical novel, which Makoto describes as 'harrowing' and gives no further detail.
  • Mukuro spends a lot of time slipping out of character and revealing her interest in Makoto.
  • Similarly to Seto Kaiba of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Byakuya went through a harsh upbringing to get where he is, having had to best his fourteen other siblings to earn the right to become the head of the family, sacrificing a normal childhood in the process. The end of his Free Time Events has Makoto understand enough of Byakuya that, unlike most of his other classmates, he cannot see them become friends.
    • One of the best dialogue options for Byakuya in School Mode is reminiscing about being a kid buying things from capsule machines like the one in the school store. He demands that Makoto show him how it works.
• The Alas, Poor Villain sequences of the Sympathetic Murderers are pretty depressing in general. The game repeatedly hammers home that you're executing people who are otherwise perfectly good and moral, but were only driven to murder because of Monokuma's manipulations...
• Even Celeste, the least sympathetic culprit, has one of these right before her execution. She claims that she's even able to deceive herself into being upbeat about being executed, but in actuality...
  "Celeste's smile just then... Compared to her usual self, it was a very unskillful fake smile. She said she was able to fool even herself... But, I think... I think that itself was the final lie that she told."
  • If you've been interacting with Celeste in Free Time, then her breakdown becomes a lot more sympathetic when you realize that being exposed as a killer and executed isn't the most frightening thing that she's fighting against. To her, having her identity of Celestia Ludenburg, who is always cool and in control and who always wins at everything, being so utterly destroyed and exposed as a sham is the scariest prospect.
  • The manga has one thing that sheds more light and sympathy on Celeste. Before she's exposed as Taeko Yasuhiro, we're treated with a flashback image of a young girl, utterly alone, isolated without friends because she was too plain. This is actually Taeko. Which means, the reason she became such a gigantic liar, including one who'd even dream about getting a castle with cosplayer servants, and even orchestrated two deaths, was because her past as a plain girl isolated by many was too much to bear and she had thought that if she presented herself as someone as grand as 'Celestia Ludenberg' she could escape loneliness, and then went overboard. Then there's her execution. While it looks normal, we get to see Celeste's face as the truck runs her through... she's sadly horrified. And at the end, a doll with its head charred rolls to the floor, which seems to be what remains of her... a doll labelled with the name 'Taeko'.
  • Her death is made even worse when you realize that she wanted to die with dignity, or have a dramatic death, but even that's taken away from her, due to the firetruck. And if we go by the manga, this also implies that it's also replaced with something she wanted to avoid at all cost: dying like a plain commoner (death by car crash is rather common).
  • This is hammered further home when you realize that all of the students had their memories tampered with, and before the memory tampering, Celeste was also one of the students agreeing to stay in Hope Peak's Academy at all cost. It was quite sad to see what it did to her, transforming someone who did want to stay and had good intentions... into someone who wants to get out of the place the most, deranged enough to plan and commit two murders. In other words, Celeste probably is the biggest victim out of the memory tampering.
• Everything about Mukuro, starting with the fact that she followed Junko thinking that she understood her and having the hopes or receiving a "I love you, sister", only to be betrayed by her and killed in the game. She also has to deal with the fact that her first and only friends will be killed by each other and that no one will remember her. To add salt to the wound, considering the events of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF and Danganronpa Zero, being treated as someone dangerous by the students. There were also implications that she developed a crush on Makoto, who was the kindest to her.
  • Mukuro's last words when she's impaled by the Spears of Gungnir are "H-Huh? This wasn't...supposed to... Why...me...?" with a Broken Smile on her face. After The Reveal, the level of pure betrayal Mukuro must've felt hits very hard.

Chapter 1:

• Makoto nearly going into a Heroic BSoD after the first murder. Perfectly understandable, given that Sayaka was killed in his shower, and almost everyone's pulling The Corpse Stops Here on him. To say nothing of the fact that they became relatively close in such a short amount of time up to that point.
  • Makoto struggling to not cry or throw up when he sees Sayaka's body again during the investigation.
  • And it only gets worse when it comes out during the trial that she was setting him up.
  • Let's not forget when Kyoko speculates that, while Sayaka did set him up, she may have had second thoughts about it and that is why she left her Dying Clue.
  • There's another one after the first murder, surprisingly going with Heartwarming. Kyoko told him to move on if he wants to survive. Makoto refused, he'll survive while not moving on the deaths of both Sayaka and Leon. Yes, despite what Sayaka did, despite condemning Leon to an undignified death, Makoto is still horrified at what happened to them and will keep them in his heart as friends.
  • Finally, there's Makoto's depressed state at the very beginning of Chapter 2, following the events of the first trial. He responds to everything with a sad "..." before going into the shower room and seeing that Sayaka's body isn't there anymore.
• Sayaka's descent into trying to attempt murder is utterly heartbreaking, Sayaka is a genuinely sweet-natured and kind girl who cares about Makoto and prior to watching the motive video doesn't have a ruthless or murderous bone in her body, however seeing her friends in danger or even dead causes her to completely snap, at one point breaking down into Makoto's arms and asking her to help him. Even her lone ruthless action of trying to kill Leon in order to escape is utterly cut short by the fact that she hesitates and thus gives Leon an opening, and in her dying actions as Kyoko says, it is extremely likely she laid bleeding to death thinking of Makoto and tried to save him.
• Similarly Leon's final moments are horrific yet very sad to watch, as he begs Monokuma not to kill him and tries to get the class to understand why he killed Sayaka, while Leon was abrasive and a bit egotistical, he's still shown to be a chill and decent young man with a dream of getting into punk rock(granted to pick up women but he is a teenager after all) yet he's brutally murdered after begging for his life.
  • Also his justifications for murdering Sayaka seem like half-hearted excuses that he doesn't seem to believe(as he says "I had to kill her, right?"), heavily implying that he genuinely regretted killing Sayaka out of panic, and like her was a scared victim of Junko's brutal mind games who was pushed to murder by his own understandable anger and fear over Sayaka trying to kill him.

Chapter 2:

• The circumstances of the second murder (Chihiro's), and everyone's reactions to The Reveal (that he was a crossdressing boy and that he was killed by Mondo).
  • Mondo's flashback shows Chihiro in his last moments crying in confusion as to why someone he deeply admires for his strength is so angry and accusatory at being told so.
  • And then there's Mondo's actual reason for killing Chihiro itself: His older brother formed the top biker gang team in all of Japan and chose Mondo as his successor. At his brother's retirement ceremony, Mondo challenged him to a bike race, where a truck would have hit him had it not for his brother pushing him out of the way and dying himself. Mondo never came to terms with it and vehemently envied Chihiro for being stronger than he was and deciding to do overcome his own shortcomings.
  • Even worse, if you manage to have the final free-time conversation with the victim you're forced to suggest that Chihiro looks up to Mondo as a strong male role-model. Granted, he does it anyway regardless of whether you have the conversation or not, but having the conversation first makes Chihiro's death more of a Player Punch.
  • Also, Kiyotaka, after finally befriending Mondo, is so utterly convinced that you're accusing the wrong person that the Bullet Time Battle segment of the trial isn't against Mondo, but against him.
• In a similar vein to Peko from the second game or Kaede from v3, Mondo is nothing but remorseful and clearly ashamed over his actions, he doesn't justify them and accepts his fate because of how guilty he felt over Chihiro's murder.

Chapter 3:

• Aoi at the start of the chapter, crying into the night and unable to sleep. It's such a private moment seeing her convincing herself to weather the nightmare she's found herself in, lest she do something she'll regret. This is perhaps the only scene of this nature in the whole game, and it makes one wonder how many of the other students cried to themselves in the safety of their own soundproof rooms. Their tremendous confidence as Ultimates makes it easy to forget that they're just teenagers.
• Kiyotaka being totally and utterly broken by the events of the second trial to the point that he practically becomes an Empty Shell, responding to everything with "...." and a Thousand-Yard Stare. And if that's not bad enough? His snapping out of it is just a Hope Spot. He's the next victim.
  • A particularly heartbreaking point in his brokenness is when you find him in a room with a huge machine. When Makoto muses about what it is, Monokuma shows up and declares that it's a time machine. Kiyotaka rouses himself out of his funk to beg Monokuma to use it so the consequences of the last chapter could be undone, and Monokuma laughs and reveals that he was only lying and that it's really an air purifier. He leaves Kiyotaka even more broken than before, and Makoto comments on how awful Monokuma really is.
• It may be a source of Squick for some people, but Hifumi's reason for falling in love with Alter Ego could be seen as this—he started communicating with him about his doujin writing hobby and other interests and, whereas most people (besides his mother) would've just ignored or been annoyed with him, Alter Ego responded with interest and even a desire to learn more. When Hifumi is told that this is merely because Alter Ego's a learning AI and thus is programmed to seek information, Hifumi doesn't even care and still wants to be with "her" because no one else has ever paid him this much attention before. It kind of implies that underneath that nerdy and mildly creepy exterior is an extremely lonely boy.
  • As with many details about the cast, this becomes Harsher in Hindsight when we learn the twist regarding the memory wipe, and The Reveal that all of the characters used to be each other's True Companions. Hifumi did have friends—lots of friends—who all seemed to accept him for who he was, and some of whom may have even expressed genuine interest in his hobbies, or at least were willing to listen to him talk about them...and now they've all forgotten about that.
• When the students are reminded that This Is Reality as Aoi's tears seem to revive Hifumi... only for him to breathe his last moments afterward. Alas, Poor Scrappy, indeed. What's more, the blow to the head jolted his brain enough to restore some of his memories of their previous time at the school... and one of them, apparently, was Celeste's real name, which probably means she once trusted him enough to let him know it.
  • What's worse, it's implied that since his memories were restored even slightly that he remembered who the rest of the class were to him and gave them his Dying Clue to atone for planning to sacrifice the people he held most dear.
  • Aoi's desperate pleading for Hifumi to wake up, followed by her crying for him to tell them who killed him. Despite his... unique personality, she still cared about him.

Chapter 4:

• The reveal that Sakura committed suicide. Aoi tries to take the blame and goes into a Motive Rant about how the other students drove Sakura to that point, so a guilty verdict would mean that the "real" culprits are punished - and Aoi can die with her. It's heartbreaking.
  • It should be noted that Aoi, sweet, kind, consistently horrified by the deaths of her classmates Aoi, was driven to try and get everyone killed due to Sakura's death and the fake suicide note that Monokuma left at the scene just to spite Sakura. There's no greater way to show the students in their Darkest Hour than to have the objectively nicest member of them come so close to the Despair Event Horizon.
  • And the reality of the situation is even more heartbreaking, given that it causes in-universe tears in Aoi's eyes: Sakura killed herself, so everyone would stop fighting. This makes Aoi's actions completely meaningless...good thing the other students decide to absolve Aoi of blame so they can unite against Monokuma.
  • The trial also features one in the form of the first Red Herring, Yasuhiro. He's very clearly signposted as the killer and true to his character falls apart at the seams very quickly and admits to having murdered Sakura in a moment of panic thinking he'd killed her. It's one of the few times Yasuhiro's goofy mannerisms fall away to show how deeply he regrets what he thinks he did.
• The execution in Chapter 4 is a huge tear jerker, especially given how many fans this particular character had on the Something Awful thread: It's not a living person. Alter Ego is the one being executed. The artificial intelligence that everyone bonded with, who only ever wanted to help his friends, who risked discovery to try to help them all escape...gets a completely unceremonious death as Monokuma destroys his laptop by bashing it with a bulldozer's claw a million times, and then having the laptop being molded into a ball with Monokuma's face. To add insult to injury, it wasn't even because of Alter Ego's conspiracy against Monokuma, either. Monokuma just executed him because there was no real murder culprit and Monokuma wanted to execute someone, so Alter Ego doesn't even get to die in heroic martyrdom, either. And while his face while he's being crushed is hard to see in-game, this concept art of him crying makes it even sadder.
  • After Alter Ego is struck by the claw the first time, you can actually see a pained expression from him for a split second.

Chapter 5:

• The bad ending is a Tear Jerker for multiple reasons.
  • First of all, you get the bad ending just by doing what you've been doing this whole time: revealing a lie, this time by Kyoko, and pointing it out in court. A Wrong Genre Savvy player could easily choose "Reveal the lie", so having it turn out to be the wrong choice is a nasty shock.
  • Second, the execution itself is a tear jerker: poor Kyoko is slowly moved on a conveyor belt to be crushed to death by a huge block. But before the crushing happens, you first see Kyoko's shoulders heaving slightly and her face turn blue with fear: Kyoko's stoicism has finally been broken, just before she dies.
  • Third, the game then tries to make you think this was the best move. You get a happy photograph of a more grown-up Makoto, Byakuya, Yasuhiro, and Aoi, with a photo of a dead Toko suggesting that Toko has somehow died in the interim. Makoto's narration suggested they lived in eternal peace and bliss inside the schools, with no murders taking place. Why is that a tear jerker, you ask? Because for one thing, while there aren't any more murders, they're all living in a gilded cage, wasting their potential and dreams. For another thing, Aoi is holding babies — which, since Toko's dead for some unexplained reason, means Aoi is the only one who could've given birth to them — unless one of them is Toko's either fell victim to Death by Childbirth or died soon afterwards. (Though it could also mean that Aoi's got a "reverse harem" of sorts with Makoto, Byakuya and Yasuhiro, thus at least trying to make the best out of her situation. Hopefully.)
• After Makoto is about to be executed after the fifth trial, Kyoko says she doesn't expect him to forgive her and knows it's her fault. The mastermind had set up this entire situation just to kill her and in order to beat them, no matter how much she didn't want to, she felt she had no choice but to sacrifice the guy who'd been her closest ally. The guy who'd trusted her and even called her a friend. Who knows how badly the guilt would've affected her if Makoto hadn't been saved.
  • There's also something sad about Makoto's demeanor during the "After School Lesson" execution—it plays out identically to the above-mentioned Bad Ending, but unlike Kyoko, Makoto rapidly starts to lose his composure; as much as he tries to keep himself calm, and mostly succeeds, you can tell from his expressions and body language that he is terrified, especially when he's nearly under the crusher and screws his eyes shut tight, sweating bullets and bracing for the end. Thank god Alter Ego shows up to save him.

Chapter 6:

• The Reveal that Everyone Went to School Together and that the students were all friends. These kids were busy being kids and didn't worry about the end of the world... and then The Most Despair-Inducing Event occurred and they all agreed to spend the rest of their lives at Hope's Peak. That's bad enough, but then they were all afflicted with Laser-Guided Amnesia so they forgot about the past two years of their lives and the genuine friendship they'd shared. These friends end up killing each other to the point where only six remain at the end. And even then, they're still missing two years of their lives and have no idea where their families are or what happened to them.
  • All the worse by how close they all seemed to be. Just based on Junko's intel, the secrets this group was willing to share with one another include Toko's Split Personality, Chihiro's gender, Mondo's dead brother, Celeste's real name, Kyoko's burn scars and Makoto's bed-wetting problem. Even more telling is the mysterious photographs, and the extraordinary contrast of personalities seen within. First, we have Chihiro laughing along and horsing around with Leon, when the Chihiro we've come to know would've more likely been terrified in such a situation. Meanwhile Mondo, who we usually see crafting an aura of aggressiveness, instead has a goofy grin plastered across his face as he plays right along with them. In the second photo, we see the servile Butt-Monkey Hifumi instead having the guts to mess with Celestia in some way involving his signature Princess Piggles camera, while she's sporting a very girlish blush instead of the venomous rage we would expect from her upon suffering some kind of indignity. Meanwhile, Sayaka is in the background laughing as if this is normal for them. One can only imagine how hard it must have hit the six survivors to have regained their memories in the second game: to truly realize the enormity of the relationships they've all lost.
    • The timeline as established in Danganronpa 3 only makes it worse. Those pictures all come from their first year as students at Hope's Peak, and they spent another full year locked in after the Tragedy began. They spent a year bonding even more, including with Junko and Mukuro.
  • If Celestia and Hifumi were once close enough that she was willing to tell him her real name, his final moments become that much more tragic. Hifumi, who had memorized that the outside world is a hellscape, remembers agreeing to Headmaster Kirigiri's conditions and the safe haven being hijacked by Despair is now being asked for his killer's name. Because she's chosen the path of despair in her fatal ignorance, Celestia now has to be sacrificed to preserve what hope is left, because the alternative is sending her out into a world where her money can't be spent, her castle will never be built, and all she'll have to show for it is a the blood of 8 people on her hands. In a way his choice to use her real name just highlights that in spite of what she did, he still remembers her as Taeko his friend over Celestia his killer.
    • That adds a bit of Fridge Horror to this; Hifumi's head injury was what got him to remember. That implies that extreme pain is enough to end the memory wipes right away... meaning that many of the executed could be living their last moments realizing they had just killed their dear friends and being forced to be killed in gruesome fashions.
• The fact that the six survivors had to leave their friends' bodies behind in the school's bio lab-turned-morgue. It's unlikely that any of them will ever receive a proper ceremony or even a burial. The symbols of hope for the world's future now left to rot away in the abandoned ruins of the academy.
• Just as Chihiro and Mondo's posthumous attempts to help their classmates are awesome and heartwarming moments, the deaths of Alter Ego and Kiyondo are Tear Jerkers. In a way, it feels like we end up watching Chihiro and Mondo die twice. Though fortunately, Alter Ego turns out to be Not Quite Dead.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF

• Related to the above, but taking place in IF, and partially terrifying, Monokuma giving Sayaka a My God, What Have I Done? moment by almost revealing what Sayaka was up to when visiting Makoto. While Leon thankfully stops Monokuma from doing so, Sayaka almost had a BSOD over it, and it's justified since the reason is the same as in the game: Kill Leon and frame Makoto for it! It's bad enough to know that you almost killed someone who you spent two years being friends and having fun with, but the reason you forgot all that is not even your fault, and Monokuma having no other reason for revealing her shame other than seeing her despair just tacks on even more bastard points for Monokuma and Junko as a whole. Given how Sayaka acted in the game proper, it gets even more sad.

Manga

• Leon's death is noticeably more sympathetic in the manga. When Sayaka locked herself in the bathroom, he didn't go get his tools because he wanted to hunt her down and kill her, but rather because he didn't want to leave her so upset and wanted to try calming her down. He tells her that he doesn't want to kill or hurt her, but as soon as he opens the door Sayaka leaps out and tries to stab him. He wrestles the knife from her and accidentally stabs her in the gut. It makes what happened to him that much more horrible. At the end of the trial, after Celeste points out that he went back for the toolkit, he struggles to explain to the others what happened until Monokuma interrupts and tells him his intentions don't make any difference. And both he and Sayaka scream and beg for their lives using some of the same phrases.
  • A tiny moment: On the morning the body is discovered Leon is one of the students to arrive late to breakfast, claiming he overslept. In the manga, this is accompanied by a thought bubble revealing that he didn't sleep at all.

Stage Play

• Leon's final moments, just as in the previous versions; here he breaks down crying and gets on his hands and knees begging Monokuma not to kill him.
  • The stage play also adds a scene where everyone gets ready to vote with each trial. Even as the others have already made up their minds, Leon breaks down into complete hysterics and goes up to each of his classmates pleading for them not to convict him, at one point even running to Makoto grabbing him and begging him for forgiveness and eventually just reduced to screaming that he doesn't want to die. Even worse, many of the others sympathize with him, but because of the rules of the killing game, they all have to vote him guilty or else the rest of them will die.
    Hina: I'm so sorry, Kuwata-kun.
• A new rule is added in the play: You get executed with the murderer if you choose wrong if the majority is right. What does this lead to? Kiyotaka getting executed with Mondo. Implying that he rather die a painful death than be without his friend.
  • Mondo's reaction to learning that he did this. There's a scene before hand where he more or less demands that Kiyotaka vote for him, but Kiyotaka votes for himself anyway. Mondo is nothing short of shocked that his best friend would willingly throw away his life for him.
  • The flashback to Chihiro's death is even worse here, because Kiyotaka (possibly as a Mythology Gag to the time machine scene above) runs into the flashback and tries and fails to hold Mondo back from killing Chihiro.
• Both Celeste and Hifumi get the Adaptational Heroism treatment—neither of them commit any murders because Taka already killed himself; instead both take the fall for Sakura's death and Celeste strongly implies she did this on purpose in the hopes of finally escaping while poor Hifumi was merely an Unwitting Pawn. And while Celeste at least tries to Face Death with Dignity, bidding her former classmates a fond farewell as she goes, Hifumi starts panicking and desperately tries to escape, to no avail.
  • Hifumi's part is especially cruel as it almost plays out as a bit of a Hope Spot—Celeste lies to the group that she murdered Sakura, claiming that Sakura died when she bashed her over the head with a bat. Everyone, however, ends up questioning Celeste's veracity (Hina in particular being adamant that Sakura was far too strong to be killed by Celeste). Hifumi desperately questions whose story is the correct one right before the voting starts and for a moment, you may be tempted to believe that maybe he'll be Spared by the Adaptation. But then, we see that Hifumi voted for Celeste as the culprit, meaning he has to be executed with her.

Other

• "What if Danganronpa Victims were able to react to their killer's execution?" is Exactly What It Says on the Tin—each victim reacts to their killer's execution, and is understandably not happy about it.
  • Sayaka reacts to "The 1,000 Blows" about as well as you'd expect—namely, by looking utterly horrified as Leon is bludgeoned to death in front of her. At the end, all she can ask is "Why was I so reckless?"
  • Chihiro has already forgiven Mondo by the time he witnesses "The Cage of Death" and as he watches Mondo spinning, he pleads with him to survive for everyone. When he sees the empty motorcycle, he looks utterly devastated and can only choke out a Flat "What" when he sees the Mondo Butter.
  • Kiyotaka and Hifumi are both initially relieved at the "Burning of the Versailles Witch", Hifumi angrily declaring that Celeste is getting what she deserves and how he hopes she "burns in the fires of Hell". He swiftly comes to regret that wording and both he and Kiyotaka are stunned into horrified silence when Monokuma rams into Celeste with the fire truck instead—showing that no matter how angry they are at her, they don't believe she deserved that.
  • Sakura tries to remain stoic during "Excavator Destroyer", but she can barely contain her rage when Alter Ego is hit with the first blow, lamenting the fact that she can't protect them. She then tries to take comfort in the fact that none of her friends are being executed, but even then, she goes back into rage mode, cursing Monokuma and his despair.
  • Mukuro reacts to "After School Lesson" with anger that Junko is mocking Makoto just before trying to crush him, and is thus relieved when Alter Ego saves him... albeit also concerned at the fact that he's sent falling. Next, however, she is understandably upset at Junko when the Ultimate Punishment occurs—first angrily demanding that her sister stop, then losing steam and just pleading for her to stop and finally resigning herself to the realization that Junko's obsession with despair puts her past any chance of redemption.
    Mukuro: So...there might be no hope for you...
