Nagito Komaeda

Nagito Komaeda (also known as Ultimate Lucky Student, Ultimate Despair, and The Servant) is a major character in the Danganronpa franchise. serving as the deuteragonist alongside Chiaki Nanami of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. He is also the secondary antagonist of Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls with his name listed only as "Servant", and a supporting character as well as a minor antagonist in the prequel, Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy - Side: Despair. An extremely intelligent yet mentally disturbed young adult, Nagito was blessed and/or cursed at birth with supernatural and superhuman luck. This has resulted in his life being a constant series of both positive and negative incredibly unlikely circumstances happening to him (such as when his airplane was struck by a meteor, only to find out after he was rescued that during the crash he had won the lottery.) The stress of this life has warped his worldview to where he believes that for the "chosen" (aka Hope's Peak's Ultimates), all of life's despair, no matter how tragic, are ultimately good things because they are just "stepping stones" to a happy, hopeful ending.
He was voiced by Megumi Ogata in the Japanese dubbed version, and by Bryce Papenbrook in the English dubbed version.
==His Greatness and Evil Rankings==
===What Makes Him Great?===
*He is a well-intentioned extremist who wants his classmates to overcome despair and create a happy hope-filled world at any costs necessary. This also allows him to count as an anti-villain.
*During the beginning of the Killing School Trip, Nagito was the only one who protected Sonia from Teruteru's sexual harassment.
*He protects the girls from Teruteru and tells him to stop when he is acting perverted, appearing annoyed and uncomfortable.
*He also said that he'll keep an eye on Teruteru because of this.
*He scolded Hajime for bullying Mikan despite Hajime not doing anything.
*He respected the Ultimate Imposter and their leadership skills when they were impersonating Byakuya Togami.
*He helped Mikan when she tripped and asked her if she’s okay.
*He tries to help his classmates with the exam.
*When everyone was trying to find Mikan, he helped them by telling them that he saw her while going back to the school.
*When he and Chiaki find Junko under the statue, he points a gun at them for the sake of his friend's and to stop her despair spreading plans, showing his selflessness.
*He tries to convince his classmates by pointing out that it will be dangerous and there is a high chance of them dying if they try to find Chisa showing that he doesn't want his classmates to be harmed.
*He and the rest of the class are shocked by the Imposter's true identity, but come to accept it quickly.
*He cries at Chiaki's death before being brainwashed by Junko.
*He has an incredibly tragic background of watching his family get murdered, being kidnapped by a criminal and always having bad luck happen to him, although it would often balance out with good things happening too him.
*While he is clearly insane and amoral due to a mental disorder that affects his thinking, he still understands the long-term affects of his actions, showing he isn't completely out of control.
*He is genuinely affable and cares for his classmates despite his twisted goals and how much they dislike him.
*In order to get the school exams cancelled, he placed various bombs in the gym as a threat. This would lead to Ruruka Ando, Seiko Kimura and Sonosuke Izayoi being expelled when they accidentally took the bombs and detonated it themselves.
*He admires and respects Makoto Naegi, viewing him as his hero, and this is genuine admiration rather than an unhealthy obsession, since he started to have some belief on talentless people in comparison what he was in that before, and also he alongside his class saved him and the other remaining members of Future Foundation, also before going in the boat, he took the oppurtunity to greet Naegi, praising him and showing his admiration for him.
*Despite lacking emotions in general, he does feel empathy for the killer just like what happened to Teruteru.
*His only reason to keep distance away from his classmates was to only protect them from his luck that will cause disasters.
*Using his luck, he would trick the Remnants of Despair into gassing him to death so they would end up being killed.
*He redeems himself after escaping the simulation and becomes a hero who helps his class save the world from Ryota Mitarai.
*Some of his worst actions of being a member of the Ultimate Despair were not only when he was completely brainwashed, but also shared with the rest of his classmates, so he isn't truly evil nor irredeemable.
===What Makes Him Heinous?===
*He has Smug Snake moments of being cold and prejudiced, being cruel to those who lack talents and have a habit of goading people into acting destructively.
*He tries to kill everyone by making an unsolvable case in the fifth chapter (except for the traitor) after finding out that his classmates were evil brainwashed villains.
*He rigged the first round of the Killing Semester so he and Teruteru would clean the safe house alone together, where he would reveal his plans to Teruteru to trick him into killing him, which ended in him accidentally killing the Ultimate Impostor.
*His obsession with hope drives him to insanity and he is perfectly willing to allow people to kill one another if he can watch from the sidelines and cheer on the winning side. He is willing to support murderers because he believes their determination to win the killing game is something truly worthwhile.
