Mukuro Ikusaba

Mukuro Ikusaba, also known as Ultimate Soldier and Junko Enoshima, is a character from the Danganronpa series.
== Charactah Account ==
The mysterious sixteenth student, who Monokuma considers to be his "ace in the sleeve". Kyoko refers to her as "Ultimate Despair". Her real title is Ultimate Soldier, having served with a radical mercenary group called Fenrir for three years without taking a single wound. She is actually the twin sister of Junko Enoshima, and "Ultimate Despair" refers to the group/philosophy they were both members of. Having collaborated with Junko to stage the "School Life of Mutual Killing", she pulls a Twin Switch to obfuscate her sister's identity as the Mastermind. However, Junko betrays and murders her (seemingly on a whim), and later uses her body to stage a fake murder in Chapter 5. 
Being the Ultimate Soldier, Mukuro is ruthless and can kill and harm others with no remorse. She seems completely indifferent towards other people, unless it's her sister Junko or her crush Makoto. Unlike her sister, she doesn't take any sadistic pleasure in hurting or killing people, but at the same time she shows little concern for other people's suffering.
Despite being an incredible soldier, Mukuro is very out-of-touch with her own emotions. She has a notable lack of social-skills, acting emotionless and indifferent towards most people. She tends to have a cold, serious expression and a reserved personality. Despite this, she appears to portray her sister's very different personality rather well. She herself admits that she lacks skill in negotiating with others and planning tactics in advance, despite her renown as an excellent soldier. While she is completely fearless as a soldier, she is afraid of certain emotional situations.

== Trivia ==
* The final section of Chiaki Nanami's execution from Danganronpa 3 is a direct reference to Mukuro's execution, though within the timeline Mukuro's execution had not been carried out yet.
* Her profile in the non-canon Danganronpa IF novel states that since her childhood she has always had an interest in mystery stories.
* Mukuro and her twin sister Junko are both voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi in the Japanese version and Amanda Céline Miller (who also voices Toko Fukawa, Shirokuma, and the child version of Seiko Kimura) in the English version.
* In the Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Sound Gallery, Mukuro's sprite is her out of her Junko disguise, marking one of the very few times she's seen without it in the games.
* In the post-game bonus mode Ultimate Talent Development Plan from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony unlocking and using Mukuro's U-Rarity card will enable an alternate set of pixels and assets without her Junko disguise; instead using her Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc design, though this does not carry over with her sprites.
** However, while the pixel set is also found in the files of the sequel Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, they are not available to be used during gameplay. There is also a pixel set using Mukuro's Danganronpa 3 design, but these also go unused.
* In the Danganronpa stageplay adaptions of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Mukuro (and by extension Junko) was played by the late Sayaka Kanda, who is also the Japanese voice of Kaede Akamatsu. Kanda also performed as a singer (as part of the group TRUSTRICK), singing the opening and ending to Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School - Future Arc, DEAD OR LIE and Recall THE END respectively, alongside Maon Kurosaki.
