Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony was 2017’s wrap-up to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Danganronpa, the iconic murder mystery series that dominated the visual novel genre throughout the 2010s. It follows the set-up of the previous two installments, seeing you wake up in a high school w𒉰ith a handful of classmates and no memory of what happened to get you there. And the only way out 🍨is to murder each other.
Of course, a lot of questions we found ourselves asking throughout the course of this game can be answered by the final chapter, which somehow leaves room for no questions, and yet room for a million at the same time. A lot of what you’re left wondering after you close the game will depend on how you felt about the ending – some fans feel it was a wonderful tie-up that flipped the established world on its head, ♎while others felt they were being mocked for enjoying a series.
Regardless of where you fall on this spectrum, it’s natural to have some questions at the end of a long game that capped an even longer series. These are a few questions we had after we fin𓃲ished solving these mysteries and escaped back into the real world.

9 Why Are These Kids So Ready To🃏 Be In The Dar🌠k Together?
ও W🅰ith a game as thematically dark as Danganronpa, it shouldn’t be shocking that the visuals can be dark as well. But although these kids know they’re involved in a murder game, they’re almost too willing to be together when they can’t see.
There are so many instances where they all somehow trust each other enough to hang out in the dark, which oftentimes leads to one of them being murdered. Even if the kids aren’t familiar with ಞDanganronpa’s bloody tendencies, they do know they’re all meant to be killing one another. We would simply choo♉se not to hang out in pitch blackness in this scenario.
8 What's Up With That One Floor?
There was a lot happening in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the third chapter. When the fourth floor of the school opens up after Kirumi’s execution, we were excited to go exploring, but we couldn't have expected what was waiting for us up there.
The halls are dank and barely lit, the floorboards aren’t stable in certain spots, there are no windows, statues in varying states of decay line part of the hall, and it only gets creepier the further you explore. Shuichi, upon arrival, refers to it as a “frightening atmosphere,” which feels like an understatement. It doesn't help that two of the strangest students, Korekiyo and Angie, have their private studios on this floor.
7 How ౠReliable Are The Flashbacks Before The Reprogramming?
A ma♋jor staple in the Da🌟nganronpa series is seeing how careful and purposeful the misdirection can be on the part of the game. And with how many of the cast’s memories were erased, scrambled, or implanted, just how much of what we’ve been told can we really trust?
We ran the gamut of emotions, thinking these kids were hunted, or protected, or in a deep sleep, or the only humans left alive. And we kno🦋w their memories of auditioning for Danganronpa were erased, as were the fictional memories of the Gofer Project. When we see “who they were before,” just how much of that is actually them? Did Kaede really have no hope for humanity? Was Shuichi really a super-fan planning grizzly mur💛ders?
6 𝓡 What Was Going On With Korekiyo And His Sister? 🌼
It’s made clear that a lot of the memories the kids have during the events of V3 and from their lives before are part of the story’s script, but to what extent was Korekiyo’s backstory fabricated? During his trial, we learn he had an older sister that he loved quite dearly – a little too dearly.
Is his sister even real? And if so, is she actually dead? He seems to harness her spirit, able to become her in some sense, but knowing what we do about the fal🌊se memories for the sake of the reality show, we can’t say how real any of the relationship was.
5 🉐 Why Are The Flashback Lights Used For A Killinไg Game?
The Flashback Lights were a brand-new item in the series that arrived in V3,🌳 and shining one into your face is enough to give back a long-lost memory. We’re told early on that this is to help the kids recover their memories from before♛ school, but we learn toward the end that the Lights are how they received their false personas for sake of the game in the first place.
So why the hell did the people who inventﷺed them use them for this purpose? There’s so much good that could be done with a tool as powerful as this, but they chose to use it for a grizzly reality show where tee൩nagers kill each other.
4 How Many Hints Did We Mi🍬ss Along The Way?
You typically have the most fun with Danganronpa w𓂃hen you go in totally oblivious to any plot points – it always makes the weight of solving the mystery that much more shocking. And part of the fun of Danganronpa is wondering exactly what you missed along the way that might have pointed to the answer you finally found.
The games span dozens of hours, but they’re worth a replay if only to take note of all 🔯the things you never realized were nudges toward what’s actually happening. It’s astonishing what d꧃etails you pick up on experiencing the story a second time after you’ve beaten the game.
3 Was Tsumugi Really Losinꦇg Control, Or Was It Scripted? 🧔
We’ve got a lot of questions about Tsumugi, actually. While her memories (at least, her memories according to her) and talent were almost certainly made up, she seems to have incorporated some elements of her 'real' persona into her Tsumugi role. She claimed to be a member of Team Danganronpa, the production company behind the smash-hit Danganronpa reality show, but how much of that twist was even real?
When she started to crack as we inch closer to the end, letting ꦦslip her role as a writer for Danganronpa, how much of that was her mask finally 🌠dropping, and how much was part of the script? Was she ever actually part of Team Danganronpa, or is it another layer of lies? When she reveals how unreliable the events of the show were, she herself becomes unreliable, too.
2 What Was So Powerful About Shuichi's Speech?
The remaining classmates are horrified 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:in the final chapter to learn that Danganronpa is a fictional world, creaღted by a team of TV producers to serve as a gruesome reality show for the bored and greedy masses. The final trial is completed through the white noise of their opinions flooding the trial room as you try to come to grips with what’s happening.
🌳The game, we learn, has run for 53 seasons (hence V3 - V being the Roman numeral for five), so what was it about Shuichi’s speech that made the collective public realize this was kind o🐻f messed up? Nobody acknowledged or questioned the human rights violations before this, ever, at all?
1 ꧃ ꧟ Is The Game Even Canon?
Spike Chunsoft, the developers of the series, said Danganronpa ended after the conclusion of the anime, Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope’s Peak High School. It sees us returning to the Ultimate Despairs once again, ravelling together a story set both before the first Danganronpa and long after it, bringing the Hope's Peak story to a nice conclusion.
So, where does V3 fall? Did the first two games actually happen and the TV show is a way to cover it up? Or were they really games, like in our world, that expanded into a multimedia empire? Kazutaka Kodaka, the series creator, urged fans to go back and play the prologue again for clues, but the internet concludes 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:that V3 is canon unto itself. It’s a wholly separate timeline to the original games and is said to be a “what if&rdquo𒐪; situation looking at if the games were faked.
