Night Flyer

**Night Flyer** (ナイトフライヤー) is a minor antagonist featured in Danganronpa Kirigiri, and alluded to in *Danganronpa: Togami.* He is an assassin that was hired to hunt down and kill Rei Mikagami.

## History

### Prior Life

Night Flyer is a Romanian assassin who was known for simply walking up to his targets and assassinating them with a suppressed pistol. His nickname derived from after his assassinations, he would simply run to the nearest airport where would would board his private jet and leave the country.

### First Battle Of The New Duel Noir Challenge

Night Flyer took upon a contract to assassinate Rei Mikagami and, on January 10th, traveled to Meyura Station to complete the job. In order to do so, Night Flyer disguised himself as a security guard by stealing a uniform. From there, its implied he set a fire on the restaurant floor to get civilians away so he could deal with Rei on the roof once he approached the meeting site. When the fire alarm rang, numerous people scatted towards the exits. However, Night Flyer noticed Kyoko Kirigiri, Yui Samidare and Licorne heading towards the employee stairwell, and tried to order them to turn back.

Yui was willing to leave, having been fooled, but Kyoko and Licorne immediately caught onto the fact that he was an enemy. Yui tried to get them to go, but Flyer soon grew impatient and thought they deserved 'a penalty'. Pulling out his gun, he was prepared to fire when Licorne threw his umbrella and had the tip of it get stuck into Flyer's gun, effectively jamming it. As Flyer tried to pull it out, Licorne then snuck up on him and broke his right arm.

Screaming in agony, Flyer collapsed onto the floor where Licorne placed a foot on the back of his neck. Taking out a carbon steel hammer, Licorne was prepared to attack when Yui stopped him to ask what he planned on doing. Licorne's response was that he was just going to smash his eyes, throat and fingers to prevent Flyer from seeing, speaking and touching anything ever again. Yui objects to such treatment, whilst Licorn defends himself by saying he's just doing this to prevent Flyer from coming after them for revenge. Flyer shouts telling him to finish it, or else he'll fly over again and again to try to get payback. Licorne was about to oblige, but Kyoko points Flyer's gun at him to get him to comply. Licorne packs away his hammer, but to incapacitate Flyer more he breaks his other arm.

Kyoko tied up Night Flyer and got to work investigating him, thus learning that he stole the guard's uniform and presumes by his looks that he fits the bill as Night Flyer. Licorne opts to ask him directly and, while the fearful Flyer initially says no, once he sees Licorne pull his hammer out again, backpedals into confirming his identity. With the second assassin defeated, the trio continues onward towards the roof.

Later on, after it was revealed that Licorne was Rei Mikagami himself, he suspects that one or all of the assassins that came after him was hired by Gekka Ryūzōji and that since they were still alive, they would report back to Gekka on their findings. This implies that, despite his injuries, Night Flyer would still have the skill to be able to able to escape Meyura Station even as authorities would surround the building after reports of the fire that Flyer set off in order to go about his plan.

### World Domination Proclamation

During the event, Blue Ink noted that assassins from the world over would have been gunning to kill Byakuya Togami and muses to herself upon witnessing some assassins get caught up in a crowd of villagers that seemed to have caught the Despair Disease, and be unable to really fend off their attackers. Having such hitmen be stopped prior to getting to their target may have been a reference to Night Flyer and his peers being defeated before they could reach Rei, which would be possible given how such novels reference each other.

However, gives the K2K System's unreality effects, it makes it unknown if what happened really was what was transcribed.

## Appearance

He is of Romanian descent and has a small build, with him being described as wearing a stolen security guard's uniform including a hat.

## Personality

Night Flyer is hot headed and brash when under pressure or if someone doesn't immediately do what says, opting to swear loudly in English when things aren't going his way. His methods of killing shows that he is incredibly bold to walk behind someone to shoot them, yet also reflects how he holds quite a fair amount of skill given that he was skilled enough to get away with it, presumably without much effort. While his evacuation plan and security guard disguise does prove he's somewhat clever, the fact he was willing to throw it away to attack the allied detectives proves he can be rather short-sighted. He has shown no qualms with attempting to murder minors should they not follow his instructions, and even when his arm was broken by Licorne threatened that, unless killed himself, he would come after them for revenge. Once Licorne finished breaking other arm, however, he was left in utter fear of him, to the point he quickly obeyed. His scared reaction to Kyoko questioning his identity also implies he is genuinely afraid of other people recognizing him as Night Flyer.

### Copycat & Tsurugi Hitomoshi

Just like Night Flyer, those two were hired to kill Rei Mikagami. However, its noted by Licorne that the three aren't working together, and it would be best to consider all three as acting like rivals to each other, wanting to kill Rei themselves without interference.

**Enemies:**

### Yui Samidare, Licorne & Kyoko Kirigiri

Wanting to recruit Rei Mikagami into helping against the Twelve Zodiac Duel Noir Challenge, this meant the trio would be naturally opposed against the assassins looking to kill him. When Night Flyer encountered the trio, it didn't take long for him to become annoyed by their refusal to leave the scene and wanting to shoot them as a 'penalty'. As Licorne easily defeated him, he yelled at him to finish the job, otherwise they would have to worry about the hitman coming after them for revenge. However, once his other arm was broken, he was left in complete fear of the kid and immediately complied with revealing his true identity. Licore, likewise, shows no care for the hitman and believes that it would be best to kill him in order to prevent him from returning for revenge. He only stops due to Kyoko threatening him with Flyer's gun. Yui was fooled by Flyer's security guard disguise, and opted to try to talk down Licorne from finishing him off since she doesn't approve of violent/murderous acts such as that. As for Kyoko, she easily knew that Flyer wasn't a true guard and refused to comply with him. That said, said she also wasn't willing to see even a hitman be murdered and pointed a gun at Licorne to prevent the kid genius from murdering Flyer.
