The series follows groups of high school students who are forced into a killing game. The series received many positive reviews from critics, praising the series' characters, tone, and atmosphere.

Premise

The series revolves around an elite high school, Hope's Peak Academy (希望ヶ峰学園, Kibōgamine Gakuen, lit. Kibogamine Academy), which, every year, scouts "Ultimate" students (超高校級, chō-kōkō-kyū, lit. Super High School Level)[lower-alpha 1], talented high school students who are at the top of their field, along with one "Ultimate Lucky Student" who is chosen by lottery.

In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Makoto Naegi, the protagonist, an average student selected to join Hope's Peak Academy, arrives at the school only to lose consciousness and later find himself trapped inside it, along with fourteen other students. There, a sadistic remote-controlled bear by the name of Monokuma announces that the students will be forced to live in the school forever, offering only one way to "graduate": murder another student and get away with it. When a crime scene is discovered, a "class trial" (学級裁判, gakkyū saiban) is held, in which the remaining students must discuss amongst themselves who the murderer is. If they successfully figure out who murdered the victim, the culprit alone will be executed. However, if they guess incorrectly, the culprit will be able to leave the school and everyone else will be executed. This game was also adapted into the anime Danganronpa: The Animation.

The sequel, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, has a similar premise, this time taking place on a tropical island known as Jabberwock (ジャバウォック島, Jabawokku-tō). Hajime Hinata, a student who has no memory of his Ultimate talent, along with fifteen other students, is taken there by a rabbit named Usami, who states it to be a field trip to help the classmates make friends with each other. However, Monokuma interferes yet again, turning it into another killing game.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, which takes place between the events of the first two games,[1] follows Makoto's younger sister, Komaru Naegi, accompanied by Toko Fukawa, as both of them trek through a city ruled by Monokuma's influence, fighting against a group of murderous children calling themselves the Warriors of Hope.

The anime series, Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, serves as both a prologue and an epilogue to the Hope's Peak Academy storyline featured in the aforementioned games. The series is split into two arcs: Despair Side, which is a prequel to Trigger Happy Havoc, and Future Side, which is a sequel to Goodbye Despair. In Despair Side, Hope's Peak alumna Chisa Yukizome accepts a position as a homeroom teacher at her alma mater to keep an eye on suspicious activities undertaken by the school. In Future Side, Makoto, along with survivors of the first killing game and members of the Future Foundation, are forced into another killing game against each other.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony features a new storyline and two protagonists, Kaede Akamatsu and Shuichi Saihara. They become trapped in the "Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles" and forced to participate in a killing game by Monokuma and his so-called children, the "Monokubs". This sequel is only loosely related to the Hope's Peak Academy storyline, as it happens in the far future.

Gameplay

Gameplay in the main Danganronpa games is split into three main sections: Daily Life, Deadly Life, and Class Trial. Daily Life follows a standard visual novel style as players explore the school grounds, converse with characters, and progress the story. During designated "Free Time" sections, players can interact with a character of their choice, learning more about them and earning new skills that can help them in the Class Trial. Deadly Life is the post-murder investigation part of the story, in which players search for clues and gather evidence for the Class Trial.

The Class Trial is the main gameplay mode of the series, in which the students attempt to determine the culprit. This involves various types of mini-games, the most common of which is the Nonstop Debate. Here, the characters discuss the case in real time, and the player must spot contradictions in their statements and shoot them using "Truth Bullets" containing the corresponding evidence. Other gameplay types include shooting letters to spell out a clue, using rhythmic button presses to argue against a character, and constructing a comic strip depicting the events of a murder.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, unlike the main games, is a third-person shooter in which the protagonist, Komaru, uses a megaphone to issue commands at most of the electronic objects in-game, including Monokuma Robots and switches.

Danganronpa: Unlimited Battle is an action game where players use touchscreen controls to fling a team of four of the Danganronpa characters at enemies.

Development

The first game in the series, titled Danganronpa: Kibō no Gakuen to Zetsubō no Kōkōsei, was produced by Yoshinori Terasawa, who was inspired by movies such as Saw and Cube. The game uses a distinct "pop art" style featuring fluorescent pink blood. The game's scenario was written by Kazutaka Kodaka, with character designs by Rui Komatsuzaki. In February 2014, Kodaka revealed on his Twitter account that the story of Danganronpa was inspired by the Sega Dreamcast game Illbleed, as he loved how "crazy" it was.[2] The game was originally conceived as a basic visual novel but, as visual novels were growing less popular, new gameplay elements were added to make it stand out.[3] The game was originally released on PlayStation Portable in Japan on 25 November 2010, and was later ported to iOS and Android devices on 20 August 2012. Prior to the game's release, the company released various promotional material, including a playable demo and trailers, which depicted a different victim from the final game.[4] Two smartphone applications, Danganronpa: Monokuma no Gyakushū (ダンガンロンパ モノクマの逆襲, lit. Danganronpa: Monokuma Strikes Back) and Alter Ego (アルターエゴ, Arutāego), were released for Android devices on 27 April 2012 and iOS devices on 23 May 2012.[5] A sequel, Super Danganronpa 2: Sayonara Zetsubō Gakuen, was released for PSP in Japan on 26 July 2012, featuring various gameplay additions.

On 10 October 2013, Spike Chunsoft released Danganronpa 1・2 Reload (ダンガンロンパ1・2 Reload), a compilation of the first two games, for the PlayStation Vita. Along with higher resolution graphics and touch-screen controls, the compilation added an additional 'School Mode' to the first game, based on the second game's 'Island Mode'. On 6 July 2013, NIS America announced they would be releasing the Vita version of the first game in English under the name Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, featuring both English and Japanese audio.[6] This version was released in North America on 11 February 2014, and in Europe and Australia on 14 February 2014. The Vita version of the second game, titled Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, was released in North America and Europe in September 2014.[7] Both games were later ported to Steam in 2015 and were released for PlayStation 4 in 2017.[8]

On 9 September 2013, Spike Chunsoft announced a spin-off title of the series, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, which was released on Vita on 25 September 2014 and was released in North America and Europe in September 2015.[9] A free-to-play spinoff game, Danganronpa: Unlimited Battle, was released for iOS in Japan on 7 January 2015.[10] In March 2015, writer Kodaka Kazutaka revealed that Danganronpa 3 was in early development.[11][12] The game was revealed in September 2015 as Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony for PlayStation 4 and Vita, which was later released in 2017.[13] A free virtual reality technical demo based on the first game, titled Cyber Danganronpa VR: The Class Trial, was released for PlayStation Plus users in Japan for the PlayStation VR on 13 October 2016.[14][15] A crossover prequel with Otogirisō to the first game, titled Kirigiri Sou, was released for PC users in Japan on November 25, 2016. In 2017, Spike Chunsoft started hiring staff for a new Danganronpa game.[16] In July 2020, it was announced that the franchise's publishing rights outside of Japan will be transferred from NIS America to Spike Chunsoft.[17]

The series is split into two simultaneously airing parts; Side: Future, which serves as a conclusion to the "Hope's Peak Academy" storyline, and Side: Despair, which serves as a prequel to the first two games; Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair. Seiji Kishi once again directed the series at Lerche, while Norimitsu Kaihō wrote the screenplay.[39] The series was licensed for simulcasting by Funimation.[40] Despite episodes alternating between the Future and Despair arcs when it originally aired, Funimation groups the episodes by arc on its streaming service.[41] An original video animation titled Super Danganronpa 2.5: Komaeda Nagito to Sekai no Hakaisha, was bundled with Danganronpa V3 in Japan on 12 January 2017.[42]
