Danganronpa 5: Convergence

***Danganronpa 5: Convergence*** is the fifth installment of the series, and serves as an ending to the lore that continued throughout the first four seasons. This season had the biggest update in gameplay mechanics, as it introduced the Discord Danganronpa Bot (more about below). For this season, everyone who was currently alive in the lore from the first four seasons participated in the game and there were no applications. This season was co-hosted by ErrorNoUsername.

## Synopsis

The survivors of each killing game are all on a crash course to meet up with each other at the safehouse that 'Remote' speaks of. Connor Moon and the ones who created the games being separate are still working to bring Junko to life while the rest meet up with each other. When Junko is brought to life, she has one thing in mind that she must do - to begin the final killing game that will end everyone's stories.

## Gameplay

This season was the first to employ the use of a bot made specifically for roleplays such as this one, produced by UniqueImpact. This bot included commands which include moving between rooms, picking up items and clothes, and more. Click here for a full list of commands for the Discord Danganronpa Bot.

To interact with other players would still be done through the host, and any actions towards another player would be followed with a message in the room they are currently in asking them to react within a certain time frame to do something about said action if they would like to.

## Game Events

*(The events that occur during this roleplay begin at the end of Season 4, covering over a year of time; however, the actual killing game ran from March 6th, 1998 - March 31st, 1998)*

### Prologue

A day after the events of the first season, the group that left North in a group faced an unexpected event, as the skin around Young Wildthing's neck turned to purple and blood began to fall from his eye for an unknown reason. A truck then raced by the group and toke the body as they pass. Although not recognized by them, inside the truck were 'Bob', Senko Takanori, and Forma Duris. Connor Moon explained to the three inside of the truck via a video call that the poison that killed him is inside of all of the students that they put into a killing game as a failsafe if they were to escape. He had no idea as to why only Young's went off. They took the body over to the new lab which has been constructed.

Not long after, the group from the first season, Eris Greyrat, Chazza Chie, Hydro Barnes, and Joe Kilolima found the safehouse where Todo Johnson, Yoshiaki Isao, and Kimora Tegakari were. The 7 of them were able to enter the safehouse after it was opened by 'Remote' from across the wasteland.

Then, similarly, a day after the events of the third season, 'Remote' began frantically trying to deactivate a device that was in the necks of everyone that they were walking with. He said he was already able to deactivate the proximity detector but they could theoretically be set off manually. As he was doing this, Connor and 'Creeper' were able to escape from the rubble by taking back control of the Monokuma dolls and hopped into a van of their own to take off after the group. They used the manual override system to set off the poison of those who escaped, but they all errored out except for Nifty Nick and Walker Stalker, who both died in the same fashion as Young. The bodies were again picked up by a truck and taken away, but this time the people in the truck were Connor and 'Creeper'.

Not too long after this, this group (Remote, Jam Aubrey, Marks Wright, Futoshi Hokama, 'Jeff', Scott 'Scooter' Scoal, Tomomi Chikara, Moo Shantay, Koji Hideki, and James 'Slime' Aper) reached the safehouse as well, where 'Remote' is condemned for his inability to stop the killing games from his previous classmates. When inside, the group realized that the facility was initially made to prepare Junko for sending into the real world before 'Remote' took control of the building.

The day after they all arrive, 'Remote' told the group about where he theorized that the group has now located themselves at the location of the first season's killing game since the other locations had either been hit with an EMP, blown up, or burned to the ground. He asked for three volunteers to go investigate, to which he got Scooter, Marks, and James as responses. When they arrived at the facility, James and Marks entered while Scooter stayed in the car for backup.

They were immediately spotted by Junko. They begun to try and get Junko on their side before anything rash is decided of the being made from despair, asking her to come with them. After using her intellect to garner where everyone is currently hiding, she locked everyone inside. She explained to the group that to fulfill the purpose of her own life she has been told she must experience loss and feel despair by the death of those still alive. Junko also revealed that she also somehow inherited the memories of all of those who died.

Junko then raced over to a group of canisters lined up against the wall, put on a gas mask, and smashed one onto the ground, knocking everyone there out. After hearing a loud commotion and seeing a girl with pink hair exit the building slowly, Scooter begun to drive away as fast as possible.

Junko used a truck left at the lab to take those who she knocked out to the safehouse where everyone was hiding and took them all to the fourth floor without alarming anyone of her arrival there. Then, at midnight, as she came to life, she approached Futoshi Hokama in his room and told him about the killing game that she wishes to begin. She said that she wants him to be the Traitor in her game and be the end goal for everyone to find. Using Futoshi's girlfriend, Makenna, as leverage for this, Futoshi reluctantly agreed to the game. They then headed to 'Remote's room as he sleeps as Junko instructed Futoshi to put a bracelet on 'Remote's body.

The bracelets, Junko said, all contain an action that could not be taken by the person wearing them or the poison vile put into their neck would be set off. And if there was no poison vile, it would inject the poison. Each bracelet was made specifically for its person. The one put on Remote by Futoshi read, 'Look at the traitor'. Futoshi woke up Remote and put on the bracelet after being asked by Futoshi. As soon as Remote fully woke up and looks at Futoshi, their eyes rolled to the back into his head as he assumed the person who did this to him was Connor, and not Futoshi at all. 'Remote' died the same way Nifty, Walker, and Young all did.

### Chapter 1

The next day, an announcement was called in the meeting room, where Junko revealed herself to all of the students. As soon as they all arrive, they were knocked unconscious and woke up each wearing a bracelet. Junko explained the rules of the game, being that there was a traitor, after 3 days, a trial would begin where the most voted person would be executed, traitor or not. Once between each trial, a blackout would occur, in which the traitor would kill one person. During any time, killing was allowed without a trial being called for it. After every trial, Junko would let the group know whether the traitor is alive or dead. If the answer was ever dead, the game would end and everyone else alive would win.

On the first day, the group was given the 4th floor of the building. Up there was a box, which when opened, revealed that The Ambassadors of Despair along with James Aper and Marks Wright would also be participating in the game, and were then given a brief rundown by Junko. Junko then said that that day counts as the first of this phase of the game, and on the 4th day a trial would begin. With this also came a reveal of the arcade machines in the game, in which 5 tokens can be won per machine, a machine revealed every time a new floor opens (every other trial). With an arcade token, someone could find out the code of someone in the game. A new rule was also added, saying that any violence towards Connor Moon was forbidden until after the third trial.

On the second day of this phase of the game, Chazza Chie began to go insane from the many people that they had killed thus far. As a result, they killed Tomomi Chikara in their room out of paranoia. It was after this kill that Junko makes an announcement over the intercom speaking of their memories of Tomomi that they had bottled up inside of their mind. This would be a trend that Junko does after each person who died, no matter what way. The day after, the blackout occurred, and Futoshi Hokama killed Forma Duris after finding out that Forma got away with murder in their original killing game.

At the trial, the group decides they would vote between Futoshi and 'Jeff' due to some shenanigans that resulted from the codes found from the arcade machine. In the end, 'Jeff' was voted and executed.

### Chapter 2

In the second chapter of the game, a new area was not yet opened. During the first day of this chapter, however, Koji Hideki failed his forbidden action of visiting the library every other day and died in the commons area. On this day as well, Joe Kilolima, Chazza Chie, and Hydro Barnes made a pact together, saying they would not hurt each other and instead hurt others who threaten them.

On the second day, the blackout occurred, with Futoshi Hokama selecting Jam Aubrey as a target, believing that since Jam defended them at the last trial that they would be thrown off of his scent. This worked.

At the trial, the group narrowed down the killer of Tomomi Chikara from the first chapter down to two people, Eris Greyrat and Chazza. They realized that their chances of finding the traitor while people are working against them and killing people are low, so they voted for who they believe the killer was and Chazza faced execution. As a goodbye, Chazza admitted to killing Tomomi.

### Chapter 3

At the beginning of this chapter, a new arcade machine was opened with a new floor. The tokens were gained almost immediately on the first day. Also on this day, Marks Wright cut off Scott 'Scooter' Scoal's hand that held on the bracelet, deactivating his forbidden action which was to not eat, saving his life.

On the second day of the chapter, Joe Kilolima murdered Marks for his involvement in having Chazza Chie voted out at the last trial, stabbing him with a fork that set off his bracelet code. Joe admitted to killing Marks very quickly.

On the third day, the blackout occurred again and Futoshi Hokama selected James Aper as his target. He was a form of hope for the group and at the moment Futoshi wanted the most chances possible to see his beloved girlfriend.

At the trial, again, the group found no hard evidence pointing towards anyone, so they vote out Joe for his murder upon Marks to better strengthen the group.

### Chapter 4

When the fourth chapter began, an announcement was immediately put out saying that Connor Moon was no longer kept safe by the rules of the game. Despite this, though, he was not killed due to the unlikeliness that he would be the traitor since he was given immunity for this long.

In this chapter, 'Creeper' and Hydro Barnes hatched a plan to prove neither of them was the traitor. By going inside of a room that could only be locked from the inside, they put some chalk all over the handle on the inside of the room while they stayed inside of it. If the chalk was still there after the trial, they would be innocent since they could not have left the room. Before they did this, Creeper found an EMP on 'Remote's body.

Because of the unlikeliness of him being the traitor, on the second day of the chapter, Futoshi Hokama made him the target of the next blackout kill. But as he was about to kill Connor, Junko burst into the room and began frantically apologizing, saying that he would be unable to kill Connor in this way. Makenna was given a bracelet with a code that would be set off if Connor was killed during a blackout. Reluctantly, and running out of time until the blackout would end, Futoshi found Kimora Tegakari in the area directly outside of the room Connor was in and dragged her inside, killing her as soon as he did so.

At the trial, when 'Creeper' and Hydro presented their plan to the group publicly for the first time, people were reluctant to believe them, and so, to prove his goodwill, 'Creeper' showed the group the EMP that he found. As soon as he did so, Junko took the EMP away, claiming it threatened the integrity of the game. He was heavily condemned by this, but was trusted enough to the point where the group would vote for Hydro.

As he was about to be taken away to the execution, Hydro used the gun that he previously took from Marks Wright's body and fired it at his top suspect, 'Bob'. As he aimed the gun, though, Junko would very swiftly run and take the bullet for 'Bob', saying that violence is not allowed at a trial and never has been. She begun bleeding out and gave the reigns of the killing game over to the Monokuma robots that had been helping her. Hydro was executed in the trial room by robotic claws as an extra punishment and to showcase why *not* to interfere with the rules of the killing game.

### Chapter 5

With this chapter, the final arcade machine was opened, and on day 2, the 2nd to last of the tokens were claimed. Directly before the blackout, due to the way the revealed codes worked, Senko Takanori was able to prove the innocence of 'Creeper'. And as they stood, celebrating with Todo Johnson, the blackout occurred and the three were knocked out on the ground.

During the blackout, Futoshi Hokama realized that if the last token was claimed, the traitor would be narrowed down to only him and a few other people. Because of this, he decided that he would take 'Creeper' and use his head to smash into the gumball machine where the revealed codes were kept, stopping anyone from using any of the tokens they may claim from then on.

It was in the goodbye message for 'Creeper' that Junko would tell everyone the real name of 'Creeper' since Junko possessed that memory, Azamuku Matsuda. (brother of Yasuke Matsuda from the official DR canon)

At the trial, the vote was between Senko and Futoshi. Though the vote was very close, the majority would eventually land on Senko, leading him to be executed. At this trial as well, Junko was brought out on a hospital bed and the Monokumas let everyone know that Junko was now all healed from her injuries and would be the host from now on again.

### Chapter 6

When this chapter begun, there was a lot of distrust going around due to the closeness of the vote last trial. During the second day of the trial, Connor Moon murdered Moo Shantay in a last-ditch effort to kill the traitor before the trial.

On the third day, there was an announcement. Here, Junko told everyone that she found out that someone has been hiding under their noses this whole time, and blew up a wall in the main commons of the building, revealing a basement. As it blows up, the blackout begun.

During the blackout, Futoshi Hokama explored the basement and found the Ultimate Imposter. After Junko explained that they were the one that kidnapped Makenna, Futoshi kills the Imposter. When the blackout ended, the group woke up and ventured into the basement together, finding the base of operations that had seemingly been used by the Imposter for the past year while it kept all of the killing games in line.

Right before the trial begun, hoping to end the game before the trial even starts, Connor Moon attempted to attack Futoshi, who could dodge the attack long enough for Connor to give up. But still wanting to make a difference in the trial, he went to attack 'Bob' and critically injured him. But due to a promise that Connor had made to 'Bob' earlier in the day, he set off his code, causing himself to die.

At the trial, Junko confirmed that the traitor was one of the 5 who was currently at the trial (Futoshi Hokama, Eris Greyrat, Yoshiaki Isao, Todo Johnson, Scott Scoal). However, halfway through the trial, Junko was informed by the Monokumas that 'Bob' was actually alive, but in a very unstable condition. He was paralyzed from the legs down and participated in the rest of the trial in a wheelchair. But, because of the confirmation Junko gave, it was confirmed that he was not the traitor.

At the trial, it was determined that the traitor had to be Futoshi, which was followed by a confession from him. However, Futoshi tried to tell everyone to vote for Junko instead, saying that they can all leave. The majority do not listen, and Futoshi received the majority of the votes.

Before the execution, Scooter tries to stand in front of Futoshi, attempting to stop the execution. However, the Monokumas tackles Scooter to the ground and he was then stabbed in the shoulder of his arm with a hand by Junko. This breaks Junko's own forbidden action by interfering with the killing game and harming a participant. The group begun to cheer at their success as the poison begun to take its effect on Junko. However, Junko took out a syringe and injected it into her neck, curing herself.

She told the group that she doesn't really care about the sanctity of the game if it involved harming herself. Futoshi was then executed.

### Post-Game

When the execution ended, Junko let everyone know that they actually would not be leaving, and she had to erase all evidence of her existing in this way so that her goals of causing The Great Tragedy could come to pass. First, she injected 'Bob' with another vile, kicking him into a comatose state, saying that he will become the new Ultimate Imposter.

As Junko walked towards Todo Johnson, Todo used their box of matches they have had with them for over a year to set fire to Junko's hair - he was attacked by Junko for doing that. With her hair on fire, she quickly tried to take out the antidote to stop the poison, but as she does, Todo, along with Yoshiaki Isao, Scott 'Scooter' Scoal, and Eris Greyrat all lunged at Junko to stop her from using the antidote. They succeeded and the antidote fell to the ground and broke.

Junko, while being affected by the poison, was still able to move and screamed that they would still never leave. As she yelled, the fire from her hair spread to the trial room. As everything begun to fall to the ground, Junko tried to stop everyone from leaving. But as she does so, Eris Greyrat wrapped their arms around Junko, trapping them and allowing the other four to escape. The building came crashing down as Todo, Yoshiaki, and Scooter escape, taking 'Bob' with them.

The building collapsed, burying Junko and Eris beneath the rubble. The 3 conscious begun traveling to the city, but as they do, they were ambushed by Mukuro Ikusaba, who was a follower of Connor Moon and had found plans of what he had done in his house when they went to investigate. Mukuro used the memory-erasing serums made by Connor Moon to erase the memory of ever being in the killing games from Yoshiaki, Todo, and Scooter. The memories were replaced with ones of them going on a year-long camping trip together, as instructed by the academy. They went back to life in Hopes Peak as normal. Mukuro also trained 'Bob' to become the new Ultimate Imposter, as previously planned.

Mukuro continues exploring the scenes of the killing games and found Junko, who miraculously was still alive. After being given the antidote to the poison, she was revitalized and was ready to set off on the rest of her life. And thus begins The Great Tragedy of Hopes Peak Academy.
