Danganronpa.
It is a magical story about a group of Japanese high school students who, with just a little effort, can destroy the world. To summarize the plot in simple terms, it is roughly about a JK named "Junko Enoshima" who, possessing the talent of "Ultimate Analyst" that makes her essentially omniscient, felt bored with the development of the world. Thus, she devoted herself to "Despair," using Private Hope's Peak Academy as a base point to send all of humanity to heaven while having fun and causing chaos.
How should one put it? In a certain sense, Junko Enoshima could be considered the pioneer of the "Magical Girl Witch Trial" mode found on Prison Island. Listening to Nikaido Hiro cry and complain to them, this was what Suke thought.
Hiro's family also had some clever ideas. Afraid that Hiro hadn't had enough fun with the Witch Trials, they threw her directly into a "Class Trial." You like deduction and solving crimes? No problem! Congratulations, young girl, you have cleared the novice dungeon "Magical Girl Witch Trial," welcome to the advanced dungeon "Class Trial"!
As for why the former is novice and the latter is advanced, the reason is simple. Not all masterminds behind the scenes are like the kind-hearted Great Witch, Tsukishiro Yuki, who tolerates you talking back ten sentences for every one she speaks. Coupled with the illiterate saint Hikami Meruru lowering the difficulty, saying the Island of Witches is a novice dungeon is absolutely correct.
"That woman named Junko Enoshima is very dangerous, you must absolutely not let your guard down..." Hiro warned. "She is suspected of possessing a very powerful brainwashing animation. If she is allowed to spread that animation, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Perhaps having already witnessed Junko Enoshima's terrifying "Analytical" ability in an unknown number of [Death Simulation] loops, Nikaido Hiro shared the intelligence she knew with Suke and the others without reservation. She emphasized the so-called animation named "Despair," capable of instantly brainwashing people, again and again, as if afraid Suke and the others would capsize in a gutter.
However, Suke could only express that the young girl was worrying about the sky falling. They were all people who had seen grand scenes (referring to Tsukishiro Yuki destroying the world); yet she was making a fuss over a god-like woman who relied on a mysterious little animation to cause trouble.
In fact, Suke had always felt that the destruction of the world in Danganronpa was quite baffled. The world gets destroyed just by playing an animation? What if there are rural areas without internet access?
"Let's go, Little Hiro. We're going directly to see Junko Enoshima!" Suke said, patting Nikaido Hiro on the shoulder. "Today, I and your Sister-in-law Yuki will let that woman who dared to make you cry witness what true nightmare looks like!"
He signaled her to boldly lead the way. Nikaido Hiro suddenly felt something was strange; those who didn't know better would think she was some bullied Yakuza heiress bringing people to school to settle the score.
"Hey, you outsiders over there, halt!" An angry male shout suddenly rang out.
Whether staff or teachers, basically everyone at Hope's Peak Academy came from former "Ultimate" graduates. The one blocking Suke and the others' path was the graduate of the 74th class, the current Head of Security, the "Former Ultimate Boxer," Juzo Sakakura. Also known as the Phantom God of Internal Strife, or Jinx Juzo. After all, in the plot of Danganronpa, anyone who beat him or was beaten by him died—including Junko Enoshima!
"How did you get into the school? Do you have a pass? I said no outsiders allowed in the school! Hope's Peak is not a place where you mediocre people can step foot. If you don't want to get beaten up, get the hell out of here right now!"
The hyper-aggressive man brought the security team in front of Suke and the others, becoming even more furious after discovering Nikaido Hiro wearing a school uniform. "You over there, you're a Reserve Course student, right? Do you want to be expelled?!"
What a coincidence. To run into the man who kicked Hajime Hinata into becoming Izuru Kamukura and punched open the Danganronpa storyline, plunging the world into crisis, right upon arrival. In a sense, Suke didn't want to conflict with him; it was just too unlucky.
"I recall your name is Juzo Sakakura?" Suke asked.
"Since you know this great lord's name, why don't you hurry up and scram... Ah—?!!"
Juzo Sakakura lunged forward with a stride, intending to give Suke a straight punch—the same kind that beats 'Hope'—as a display of dominance. But before he could exert force, Juzo Sakakura suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet vanish. His entire person was smashed toward a nearby wall like a cannonball by an unknown force—
Boom—!
After the loud bang, a clear human-shaped indentation appeared on the wall, causing the security team that had intended to follow Juzo Sakakura to freeze in place.
"Truly noisy," Tsukishiro Yuki remarked. "Animus, why waste words with him? Just swat this kind of lowly human away like a fly."
Tsukishiro Yuki rubbed her fingers. She maintained her peaceful, smiling appearance, yet she made all the bystanders who witnessed this scene tremble with fear. Who is she? To be able to cause such an incredible scene with a wave of her hand... Could she also be an elite student in the Academy possessing an "Ultimate Talent"?!
"Well, that works too. At least I didn't physically touch him, so I shouldn't be affected by the Jinx," Suke shrugged.
"You. Yes, that girl over there, come here!" Suke randomly grabbed a lucky person from the bystanders. Looking closer, what a coincidence. Isn't this the internet-addicted young girl, Chiaki Nanami?
Speaking of which, this was also a pitiful person tortured by Junko Enoshima in the future. It was precisely her death that caused the entire elite class of the current Hope's Peak Academy to fall into "Despair." Chiaki Nanami was originally sitting alone by the fountain along the tree-lined path, seemingly waiting for someone, only to unexpectedly be conscripted by the outsiders brought by this Reserve Course student.
"I remember you are from the Elite Class, right? Go, call down that person named Junko Enoshima from your class!" Suke commanded. "Tell her that for daring to provoke our Nikaido family's Young Miss, she's in big trouble!"
"I... I..."
Chiaki Nanami dared not refuse explicitly. As the "Ultimate Gamer," she didn't have any commendable combat ability. Even the "Former Ultimate Boxer," Senior Sakakura, wasn't an opponent for them for even a single round; they must be terrifyingly strong!
Junko Enoshima... seemed to be a female classmate possessing the "Ultimate Gyaru" talent who had just transferred to their class not long ago? She didn't know where she had provoked such terrible people. Should she go notify Teacher Chisa Yukizome first?
"Don't try any little tricks. I know what your name is, and I know which class you're in," Suke added. "I even know the whereabouts of that male student named Hajime Hinata whom you wait for here every day. If you don't want anything to happen to him, do the job honestly!"
H-Hinata-kun?! These outsiders know where Hinata-kun went?!
"O-Okay!" Chiaki Nanami suddenly became energetic. She hurriedly put away her handheld console and ran toward the teaching building where her class was located.
Not long after, perhaps also because Suke didn't care at all about how much of a commotion he caused, the entire 77th Elite Class students, along with their teacher, all followed her down.
"Mr. Outsider, may I ask what business you have barging into the Academy with people?"
Nagito Komaeda was the first to step forward to attempt negotiation with Suke. "You said a student in our class offended you, but Hope's Peak Academy is a fully closed education system. We students shouldn't usually have the opportunity to leave the school."
The gentle young man possessing "Ultimate Lucky" had an affinity far exceeding ordinary people and luck close to making his wishes come true. Aside from the "Artificial God" Izuru Kamukura, he could be considered the undisputed second among the students. —Of course, the Conceptual God "Ultimate Animator" was not within the scope of discussion.
"Not offended me. Did that little girl Nanami not explain clearly? She offended our Nikaido family's Young Miss!" Suke retorted. "Where is Junko Enoshima? Why don't I see her among you? If you don't hand her over, today's matter won't end well!"
Suke casually conjured a long bench from the [Furniture Catalogue], making it appear out of thin air on the ground in front of everyone, and signaled Tsukishiro Yuki, Emma, and Hiro to sit down together. Although it was just a very plain move of creating something from nothing, for these high school students, it was a strong shock. What is this? Magic?
"Mr. Outsider, as the children's teacher, I must ensure you hold no clear malice toward the children," Chisa Yukizome stepped out. "These two children beside you... I have an impression of them. They seem to be students of the Reserve Course? If Junko did something bad to them, could I apologize to these two students on her behalf first?"
As the teacher of the Elite Class, her talent was "Ultimate Housekeeper." It had to be said she was a qualified teacher very good at taking care of children, provided she wasn't blackened by Junko Enoshima. Having already seen Juzo Sakakura punched flying by an invisible blow via the Academy surveillance, she didn't underestimate the outsider before her. Instead, she tried hard to express her goodwill, hoping to resolve the incident peacefully. After all, she saw that the two Reserve Course students, Nikaido Hiro and Sakuraba Emma, looked quite normal, and it seemed nothing critical had happened, which was why she spoke up.
"If apologies were useful, what would we need the police for?" Suke scoffed. "Your good student Junko Enoshima owes our Nikaido family's Young Miss at least ten lives. Even sweeping her with a machine gun for ten minutes wouldn't be enough to pay it back! Now, immediately, call her out. I don't want to say it a second time!"
"This...!" Chisa Yukizome was at a loss for words. What ten lives? What exactly did Junko Enoshima do? Was it that exaggerated? Clearly, she had only just transferred into her class not long ago. When she had a heart-to-heart talk with her before, she hadn't mentioned such things?
Whoosh—
The faintly audible sound of an iron needle breaking through the air pierced straight toward the carotid arteries of Suke and the others sitting on the bench!
Clang!
Suke didn't even need to move. The barrier magic Tsukishiro Yuki kept active in her normal state blocked it, causing it to fall to the ground with a clang in the air!
"?!"
"Very well. Since I didn't catch the younger sister, catching the older sister first isn't bad either."
Before the students of the 77th Elite Class, who all possessed Ultimate talents, could even react, Suke simply snapped his fingers. A young girl hiding in the distant bushes, whose features were ninety percent similar to Junko Enoshima's, suddenly lost gravity and floated into the air!
Mukuro Ikusaba. Junko Enoshima's fraternal twin sister. Possessing the talent of "Ultimate Soldier." Her combat power against ordinary people was enough to take on a hundred alone! Of course, to Suke and Tsukishiro Yuki, this was no different from having no combat power at all.
"Oh right, since none of you are willing to hand over Junko Enoshima, I've changed my mind."
Under the stunned, shocked, and uneasy gazes of the 77th class's teacher and students, Suke and Tsukishiro Yuki exchanged a glance. Then, they revealed a meaningful smile to the students, and to the higher-ups watching them in terror through the surveillance cameras not far away—those who obviously knew a thing or two about the existence of him and Tsukishiro Yuki.
Anyway, his main purpose for this trip was to take Emma and Tsukishiro Yuki for a walk to relieve boredom. If not for Hiro's matter, they would probably be looking at the scenery from the top of Mount Fuji right now. Since their trip was delayed, they might as well play a big game.
"Now, I announce: From this moment on, Hope's Peak Academy is closed to entry and exit!"
Accompanied by Tsukishiro Yuki cooperatively raising her hand, an invisible and indestructible spatial wall instantly descended from all around, completely shrouding the grounds of Private Hope's Peak Academy!
"I will commence a 'Class Trial' event with the entire school as the scope! That's right, students. It's that terrifying trial where you need to investigate and reason to find the truth, and then vote for the culprit to be executed!"
As Suke's voice fell, a giant bulletin board with a huge table, large enough to accommodate the names of all students, appeared out of thin air! Appearing simultaneously were voting stickers in the hands of every student. Sticking one behind a name in the first column of the bulletin board would be considered casting a vote for that person! And the one with the most votes would be executed! —This was something the students had seen in everyday movies and TV shows.
Under a mighty power that could not be understood or defied, a "hellish" game seemed about to arrive! Suke even felt a scorching gaze from the roof of the teaching building, belonging to a certain pink-haired gyaru. That gaze was so obsessed, as if she thought she had found her own soulmate.
"However..."
Suke knocked on the bulletin board. Accompanied by the sound of the knock, the names written in the first column emerged one by one:
Junko Enoshima
Junko Enoshima
Junko Enoshima
(And so on)
Under the gazes of the students, which were about to turn panic-stricken but instantly turned blank, in the blink of an eye, the name "Junko Enoshima" filled the entire voting name column!
"Well then, before the voting, please begin the investigation and reasoning segment! Hope everyone has a pleasant time in the Class Trial with 'Junko Enoshima' as the protagonist!"
On the rooftop, the expression of the gyaru changed abruptly—
