I think the hardest part about Danganronpa's Death Game isn't even the game itself, it's the participants. There are a lot of intelligent characters in the series, whether them being the killer or the case-solver. You can think of all the strategies you want but if the others are as smart as you are, you're still pretty much fucked. That's what makes the game so good though. It's so tiring to see Death Games where everyone is an idiot.

What I find amusing about Celest’s death is that she thought she was going to die an elegant death and stand out, but then was killed in one of the most common causes of death, a car accident

[@punkatron4579]

It's probably the most symbolic of all the executions in THH. And just to elaborate: Leon was pelted to death with baseballs in a way that references a form of training for japanese baseball players which also referenced his adversity towards practice, Mondo is executed in a manner that references Little Black Sambo ( I'm not listing those details so check it out yourself) and not to mention his death could be refered to as an accident with the Motercycle he was riding on (Not unlike his brother's death), Alter Ego is destroyed in a very over the top manner as if to express Monokuma's willingness to prevent the cast from escaping just to make them despair, and Junko's execution likely references her lack of remorse for the cast as she doesn't seem to be affected mentally when she goes through the executions her classmates were killed in. However for Celeste, She's given a grand looking setup for an execution but then she dies in a rather boring in unremarkable way. Celeste was prepared for her execution even welcoming it but in the end she was killed in what amounts to a car accident, She can't redo her death and she can't plan a different way to kill Hifumi And Taka after all she's dead and she can't change that, in the end she was confined to her own destiny, Taeko Yasuhiro is a boring girl with a boring end and that is truly the most tragic story of THH.

Also the novel Danganronpa IF, made by the official creators, describes what would happen if Mukuro (twin sister who got impaled) betrayed Junko and worked with everyone.

[@g3nd1a69]

I know I'm super late (I just recently finished Danganronpa on my own), but I want to put down what I believe is the best killing strategy and probably one of the biggest missed opportunities Naegi could've taken. At 15:23 the two bros were having a competition to see who can stay in the sauna the longest, with our protag as the scout to see who left first. All Naegi would have to do is lock them both in there, turn up the temperature as much as possible, and then leave them to get burned alive. It should only take them an hour or so to die and there would be no evidence against him because no one was around nor did they know about the competition until after Naegi told everyone about it.

[@davidelfving5138]

Unless one of these extremely beefy dudes break the door, or anyone sees makoto coming out of the locker room. Iirc the locker room was right next to the rooms, the dining hall and the washing room, where most students will be. If any one of them steps out and sees makoto his ass is toast

[@valbaluwu2562]

Spoilers for Danganronpa V3 I may be incorrect but I’m pretty sure as long as Kyoko Kirigiri was alive, it would be literally impossible to get away with a murder as she is the Ultimate Detective, and is able to pick up on the smallest mannerisms and such, this can also be proved by the 3rd game when Shuichi, also an ultimate detective, was able to solve the 5th murder case off little evidence and intuition, not even something Monokuma was able to do, so what I’m trying to say is, no matter how amazing and foolproof your murder seemed it probably would’ve been discovered by Kyoko Kirigiri no matter what

Personally, I'd find workarounds every chance I get. Loopholes in rules, pushing boundaries, and even play along with Monokuma, using the 'I'm plotting murder' card and asking as many questions as possible for the sake of information. The last bit may end up failing but regardless _information is key_ as well as exploiting the resources we're given and doing our best to plot. As for murder itself, I think finding situations where a set up that is triggered by someone else (rules state the one who deals the killing blow is blackened). Set up all the traps you want and leave 'em for someone else to find and activate on their own. Again. Information and manipulation of the rules is critical and would be the ideal strategy.

[@rottencandy2675]

indeed. Monokuma is your new best friend. Whenever people talk, they *always* give out information.

[@sensitiivv_]

you're acting like monokuma is your maid, he'll find some way to fuck your plan up if you keep on doing that

[@rosealicia1782]

@@sensitiivv_ I wouldn't see how we're treating him like a maid. This isnt forcing him to do things for us. Its a matter of keeping enemies close and on their good side for possible information. We arent grilling him for facts or asking for favors. Anything he wants to divilge or share to us by staying in his good graces is on him. Not on us. This is the long game we're playing. True this strategy may not be the best given Junko's analytical skills, but at least its a better shot than just straight up going directly into killing each other.

[@sensitiivv_]

@@rosealicia1782 It's still a huge gamble, and they'll catch on sooner or later and might possibly handicap you.

[@rosealicia1782]

@@sensitiivv_ You're right in that regard. It is a huge gamble. Especially since we're in the middle of a _death game_ of all things. In a situation like that- at least for me, if the rules are clear, and there's a decent chance I'm not getting out of there alive, I'd rather take the risk to uncover whats _actually_ happening than play into just 'kill someone' to escape. For all we know, given Monokuma's statememt after the video motive in ch. 1. He wants us to despair. Thats all. Logically speaking that alone spells out that even if someone _did_ make it out, it would be with horrible strings attached. In this case along with 'freedom' youre left knowing you just got all of your friends from the past two years killed, you family and other friends outside the school are dead now too. The world has ended and you're forced to stay inside the school forever, or be forced to venture into the wasteland that is now the world. That or in my mind at the time- Monokuma would just kill them off at the end maybe, probably fudging the rule about not being allowed to kill more than two people. Because they're a dick like that.

[@dem0nkillingpr0gaming25]

I feel that a lot of the murders in the series could be solved with simply staying in a triad, take ch 2 for instance, what if victim had talked to killer and killer’s new best friend? Then the trio would have worked together to man up!! It limits the variable unit of other people going in the moment of things unless its a….special chapter….where a triad would be more at risk

One thing I'd like to point out regarding Celeste's slip of tongue is that in the Japanese, she actually uses the word かれら, a plural form of かれ (man/dude/guy). So, it's closer to "those guys" instead of "them", which makes her look more suspicious since the two victims were guys. Technically, you *could* use かれら to include a mixed group of guys and girls, just like how in English people can use "guys" when talking to or about a group even if the group isn't exclusively male, but I think it'd be a little hard to pull off since her use of "those guys" is pretty on the nose, considering the two victims are male. Still doable, though.

These are good ideas until you learn that Monokuma wants the killers to fail. The events of the third game prove that he'll actively help the students if they're short on evidence. Throughout the entire series, investigations take a varied amount of time and always seem to end once the students have just enough evidence to figure out who it is. Monokuma is also fully in charge of when the trial ends, meaning he can keep it going until the students get the right answer. The only way to truly win is to just not die. But anyone who's finished V3 knows that surviving isn't enough. You need to actively beat Monokuma and escape to win.

Underestimating how sharp Shuichi is, and underestimating how BS Monokuma can be. Kokichi’s trap for Monokuma could easily have been spun as a twist if it succeeded. After all, Kokichi was bang on the money that the rules made no sense unless there was an audience to this game.

[@luizeduardogueths8255]

I feel like Monokuma only actively tried to Guide the students in 2 Trials in V3, and V3 also has different reasons to why continue the killing game compared to the first 2 games. spoilers: In V3, the Idea is to give entertainment to an audience, so If the killer wins, It shortens the entertainment of the audience. The ideal scenario is so that no killer beats the game so the killing game lasts longer. In DR2 it's the exact opposite. Junko's plan would be exceptionally easier If the killer won, since her goal was to overtake everyone who's died body and "Junkofy all mankind" using her words. If the blackened succeeded in evading being found out, that goal would be much easier, since in 1 Trial, 15 students could potentialy die, and Junko could take over all of them just like that. Monokuma also leaves important information that could lead to the killer out of the Monokuma File. Stuff like time of death or cause of death, he could include these informations in every Monokuma file to help the other students find the killer, If he truly wanted them to succeed and the blackened to fail. He also tries to hide other information like the stuff about the body discovery announcement in DR2 Chapter 2, but Nagito pressured him to give that information, which he was reluctant to. Monokuma doesnt Always help a specific side, he helps a side If the case is "unbalanced", he tries to make both sides have a chance in Trials, at least in the 1st 2 games.

[@chaiznt]

V3 SPOILERS tbf that is because monokuma *himself* didnt know who the culprit was, or even who had died

[@shiroshinigami239]

Well, don't forget, that V3 is set in an entirely different universe. Tsumugi is not a Junko. She is a copycat mastermind who tries to imitate Junko, leading to her misjuging the actions of the other Students which led to her activly supporting the surviving students. After all her motive was different from Junko. While Junko just wanted despair for the world, Tsumugi wanted to give the world a good show.

I honestly can’t believe no one ever came up with the idea of everyone always being in groups of three or more. If no one has the opportunity to commit a murder, all of the group’s efforts can go toward escape or thwarting the mastermind.

[@finnlaysloan2649]

But what if a one group is a group of killers

[@LoganWH8]

@@finnlaysloan2649 only one person can win the killing game by its own rules, even if all three people in a group have the intent to win by killing, they aren’t allies, and whoever acts loses. If you kill one group member, it’ll be your word against the remaining member’s, 50/50 at best. Kill both and it’ll be nearly impossible to get away with it. Kill anyone from another group, even two from the same group, you have a surviving witness and your own group giving you up for ditching them, so unless your group is you and two people willing to die for you, there’s no way to kill and be sure you’ll get away with it.

[@phosphophyillt]

Monokuma would most likely threaten them with something if they don't murder

[@rebeccamartinez5886]

I feel like a killing would become inevitable, though. The group finds clues to their escape through obtaining access to the floors, which only happens after a class trial. If no class trials had taken place, everyone would still be stuck on floor 1. The laptop from the library, the information on Ikusaba Mukuro, the Bio Lab and the classroom where the Tragedy occured, are all on higher floors. I don't know how the group would be able to escape without that information. If they didn't have hope of escape, I think it's only naturally that someone will eventually crack. Unless they become so used to it that they all come to terms with their imprisonment and decide to live there, or someone sacrifices themselves through suicide... Then again, they're all untimates, so maybeeee they could find some way of escape, even if they have to stay on the first floor.

[@eranzbgd280]

And people just start suspicious to you

[@heiditronic2182]

Wait, but wouldn't trust and a good connection with the rest of the cast help significantly with suspicion. Along with that, staying in you room means you have no alibi. I feel like always being a recluse that doesn't trust anyone and never having an alibi for any of the cases would make you the new Kokichi Ouma, always suspected of the murder with people easily believing that you would be with minimal evidence and minimal hesitation, which means if you acctually do commit a murder, it's going to be a lot harder to convince people you didn't. I also think it's worthy of note that Byakuya going off on his own isn't the smartest move either. Everyone else is going in a big group, so if anyone is a planning a murder on day one like he suspects, than they could slip away from the group and kill him easier than if he just stuck with them. Same goes with partners. Any situation where you can be found alone with one other person is bad. If you can't stick with the group, where everyone is way less likely to kill at all, than try to convince at least two others to come with you. That way, one person will be a lot less likely to kill In front of the other. If you pick two people that don't seem related, they'd be less likely to be averse to killing in front of the other, but pick to people that look like they have a bond of some kind and they'd be more likely to work together. Pick your poison. I mean, it's day one so neither poison is that potent, but still. Also, stop being a snarky b i t c h Togami. As I said, trust is a massive part of this game, especially if you're planning on murder, and I might be wrong, but I feel there might be a bit of a bias on deciding whether the blue-blooded, snarker jerk that said MULTIPLE TIMES that he was going to win or fricking Chihiro killed someone in cold blood. Though, that's just how I see it. I may be wrong, so feel free to correct me.

And as we see in the execution, Celeste almost gets burned on the stake, only to be run over by a truck. Car crashes & Road accidents are one of the most common deaths. So in the end Celeste got pretty screwed over by Monokuma.
