### Motives

During the killing game, Monokuma decided to make motives in order to escalate the desire of the students to kill each other.

* **Chapter 1 Motive:** Killing Among Loved Ones
	+ This motive came in the form of a disc that held a video of the students closest person to them being held hostage by Monokuma. Monokuma promised their freedom only for participants who are willing to commit a murder and win the class trial.

* **Chapter 2 Motive:**  Interview Video
	+ The motive shares a resemblance with the Motive Video featured in Chapter 2 of *Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony*. An interview video featuring one cast revealing their honest thoughts about the recipient of the video was randomly distributed by Monokuma. The content of the video differs, for example Hiyoko Saionji received a wholesome interview video of Leon Kuwata complimenting her for 30 minutes straight, while Touko Fukawa received a video of Saionji exposing her most shameful secret and trashtalking her.

* **Chapter 3 Motive:**  Money & Accomplice
	+ The motive combines the third canon motive of *Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc* and an original motive. Monokuma offers ten million dollars to a killer who can win the class trial. At the same time, Monokuma added the possibility of an accomplice through a newly added rule: one person can collaborate with one other student to carry out a murder. If the killer wins the class trial, they will be permitted to graduate alongside their accomplice. In addition, ONLY the killer will receive 10 Million Dollars from Monokuma. Suppose the killer is found guilty during the class trial, only the killer will be executed while the accomplice is spared.

* **Chapter 4 Motive #1:**  Dystopia Simulation
	+ Five students were left behind in Murdertown, and to prevent them from escaping, Monokuma snapped Monokuma Bracelets on these 5 students. Leaving the town or the school area just by a millimeter will cause the bracelet automatically explode. Monokuma units will be unleashed in all areas of the town, and the student's objective is not to get killed by them as they have been programmed to kill on sight. To stop the dystopia simulation, all they need to do is to commit a kill. If the kill is made by a Monokuma unit, it does not count. Each day passes, and the dystopia simulation's difficulty will get increases. Students have to provide food and shelter for themselves.

* **Chapter 4 Motive #2:** Killer Killer's Justice
	+ If no one commits murder in three days, Takumi Hijirihara, the Killer Killer, will kill one of the students randomly as ordered by Monokuma.

# Prologue - Syndicate of Monsters

*A bit of a flashback where the story's protagonist, Hiyoko Saionji, introduces herself in the first person to the player, referring to herself as a beautiful, talented, and famous classical dancer from a noble clan. Unfortunately, she got herself roped up in a severe bullying case, where she drove someone she hated in middle school to suicide. She managed to get off the hook for almost a year, only for her wrongdoing to get discovered by detectives later on. Much to the law's dismay, Saionji again managed to dodge her supposed life imprisonment after Koichi Kizakura, a talent scout from the #1 prestigious academic institution offered the court to take her into his custody. As their "prison keeper", his goal was to rehabilitate a group of young and talented criminals. He believed in their talents and wanted to convert them into better individuals to serve the community.*

*We see Saionji walking towards a classroom inside the school building and is escorted by Juzo Sakakura, Koichi Kizakura's assigned bodyguard. When she enters the classroom, she meets with the other 13 students slash criminals alongside her prison keeper/home teacher, Kizakura. While she listens to Kizakura's speech, suddenly her body feels very heavy and she collapses to the ground.*

*When she wakes up, she finds herself inside a cryptic classroom and unbeknownst to her, the Killing Game for Criminals is just about to start.*

### Execution - The Queen's Gambit

*Written by Choccy*
The Ultimate Gambler has been caught, what a funny way to end things, huh?

She was seated on a table, across Monokuna, on said table, a chess board, she noticed how each piece represented one of her fellow captives, definetely something... creative. As a clock started ticking, she moved her pieces with the confidence only someone as her could have in this situation, ending on her win against Monokuma, she softly laugh as she covered her mouth with her hand, a laugh that was cut short as she falled throught an opening on the ground.

As she got up on her feet, she noticed she was on a huge chess board, and infront of her, a huge Monokuma that started to move his pieces towards her. She ran and ran, dodging all the falling pieces, she wasn't planning to lose, not like this, she wasn't going to let this stupid game be her first lost, and then, she heard her voice, Hiyoko was cheering for her, she was cheeeing for her to... survive, even after all she did, someone wanted her to... succeed. She smiled as she falled to her kness, with that smug smile she always had, maybe... maybe losing wasn't so bad, she said to herself as the queen piece crushed her to death.

### Execution - Memento mori (The Movie) Summarised

With a creepy smile reminiscent of that "small dog will never become a big dog" rant from SDR2, Komaeda heads towards his own execution.

As he walks towards God knows where, however, a giant treadmill reveals itself underneath his feet, carrying him away at ridiculous speed.

He is forcefully led inside what looks like a gigantic factory. Robotic arms come from the ceiling, the first two forcing him to sit, and the next ones removing his clothes piece by piece. (Sensitive parts will be censored in case children, or anyone who doesn't want to see Komaeda naked AGAIN, are watching.) Two take care of his jacket and tie, two more take off his shoes and pants, and before two of them can remove his shirt, a lone arm comes out to rip his mitten off, revealing... A concealed IV patch.
Komaeda turns his attention to it with a neutral expression, when the arm comes back - as if it forgot something - to rip it out, resulting in a splash of blood, to which he still doesn't react.

The treadmill continues to move, leading Komaeda inside different metallic machines. He is thoroughly disinfected - burning his eyes, then dried - grating his skin.

It takes Komaeda some time to recover from these horribly painful events, and after blinking heavily for a while, with a blurry vision, he notices that he is still sitting on the moving treadmill - but the scenery has changed. All around him are other treadmills, each carrying a copy of him. Though the copies differ slightly from one another, their long, unkempt hair and the markings on their nude bodies all reveal one thing for certain: they were all experimented on.

Travelling through the immense factory, all copies of Komaeda are heading one way; and the closer our Komaeda gets, the louder the noise, and the more obvious it becomes: he is being led to an enormous shredder.

Komaeda inhales sharply, sweating from head to toe, but refusing to admit his fear. At the last moment, he closes his eyes, and when he falls towards the giant blades, he starts to scream- soon interrupted by death, as he turns to mush, barely hidden to the viewers by the impressive splash of blood coming out of his body.

The camera moves slowly away from the shredder, showing hundreds of other Komaedas being shredded from farther and farther away. From the outside, above the shredder, eventually reads: "RECYCLING"

### Murdertown

**Murdertown** was known as Japan's "Utopia." It was a super-advanced city inhabited by influential and talented people around the world that circles around its most iconic building, the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles. However, the town was destroyed and is now abandoned due to a reason that has yet to be discovered. With only a few functional buildings left standing, not to mention that no one lives in the town anymore, it is now one of the most haunting-looking ghost towns. (by the way, the original town name is not Murdertown. Monokuma renamed it to his own liking)

The town is split into four districts that has unique functions and specialties. There are four train stations that go around the four districts: Nothing Hills, Business Center, Paradise Entertainment and Innovation Valley (locked in Chapter 4).

#### Nothing Hills

(North) It is a hillside neighborhood notable for its views, expensive homes, and inhabited by the most influential people in Japan. Remaining facilities:

* Rich suburbs

* Chinatown
* City Park

* Arcade
* Performers' Hangout (A leisure park that consists of various stages for performers to use)
* Harbor (Boats aren't working; the machine has been removed by Monokuma)

### Execution - The Ladybird

Tenko appared to be on a... familiar place.

She recognized those walls, that floor, she recognized... her master, or at least, Monokuna dressed as him. She didn't have time to take this all in, she got on her feet and got on a defensive stance, she was ready to fight, to survive.

What appeared to be a creature dressed with a aikido uniform stand before her, and as it run towards her, she attacked, easily overpowering it, the cheers of the other participants help her feel... seen, help her feel strong, really strong. Another creature appeared, bigger than the one before it, once again, winning, and it keeps going on like that, until the monsters now show up with weapons, sharp weapons, but... she wasn't ready to give up, she fought them all, getting hurt, getting a lot of cuts on her body, even when she was bleeding out, she wasn't going to give up.

Now, the last opponent, Monokuma, who she saw as her real master on her eyes, and she was going to beat him, no matter what, even when he took out a katana, she wasn't going to let him win.

As she moved a foot forward, more creatures appeared on her sides, grabbing her by her limbs, she tried to get them off, but it was impossible, she was trapped.

There was nothing she could do as the katana pierced her stomach, nothing but feeling weak once again, knowing that, in the end, she was... the useless little girl her master thought she was.
