*❝ **Remnants of despair**, your ​​​​​​tyranny has been stopped.*

*The one thing for certain is that you deserve to be here. You've made the world suffer and now it's time for you to suffer too.❞*

**Danganronpa: Despair Annihilation**, usually simplified as *Despair Annihilation* or *DA*, originated as a roleplaying game on Quotev created by user Evergreen (@destroy). With some outlandish motives, it's sought to be the only simulation game in the Despair Overhaul RPG list. It is the third in the SLverse timeline.

It is made completely of original characters made by admins to the project, being portrayed by them on personal accounts created for the character itself. None of the canon characters from Danganronpa were portrayed directly, but there are mentions of characters (e.g., Junko Enoshima and Class 77-B) due to it being in the game's re-thought canon.

## Synopsis

Shortly after Class 78 slaughtered each other, the Ultimate Despair wrecked havoc on the Earth.

The most known are indeed the Remnants of Despair, the Junko Enoshima-brainwashed Class 77-B. As they horrified people of all walks of life, committing numerous atrocities in the name of the late Junko Enoshima, Future Foundation helped the best they could all while struggling themselves. Slowly but surely, after letting those who had survived in smaller killing games take shelter in facilities across Japan, humanity took its time healing. However, what happened to those who were just under despair? Did they get help, did Future Foundation shoot them down where they stood, did they slowly fall out of despair alone and go into hiding; most of all, did they feel **remorse**?

16 students certainly did. None of them knew what they did, unaware of any of the details of their crimes, but they all deep down knew they were remnants. They watched Class 78 murder each other, savoring every moment of it... even if they don’t feel any despair *now*, they know they did ***then***.

Waking up in a wooden caravan on a carnival ground is a weird way to repent for despair crimes, actually, but not the weirdest.

## Notes

Danganronpa: Despair Annihilation takes place about two years and a few months, give or take, after the events of Trigger Happy Havoc, Goodbye Despair, and Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. In the timeframe of Despair Overhaul, it is the third killing game and Despair Annihilation takes place a few months to a year later after Danganronpa: Guessing Game.

Just like the original material of Danganronpa, DA has chapters for its progression of storyline. It replicates the game's continuance, however since this is not a real interactive game, it has a more Dungeons & Dragons-esque way of interaction on Quotev's feed function for character conversations, investigation, and Class Trials are played in Quotev's group function. Each character replies to another based on posts in which you tag another player, talking to them as you would for normal roleplaying scripts. Class Trials and investigations are guided by DA's writer.

As the host, the character Miss Mastermind is used by Evergreen to guide its storyline.

## Ending

*The five — Kiichirou, Yoyo, Yuku, Kogeki, and Souji — along with oxygen-deprived coma Koiwa, are transported back to Future Foundation Headquarters. But this isn't complete without a long, long explanation of what happened before.*

Mizuki and the final five survivors had woken up in the real world. Future Foundation stopped the simulation early. As it turns out, Koiwa is still alive, just in a coma. He is rushed off in an ambulance. After the officers refuse to let the survivors go, Mizuki runs away. Kiichirou, Yoyo, Yuku, Kogeki, and Souji are loaded into a police van. They have until they reach Future Foundation HQ to find out who the ringmaster is.

After some discussion, Souji outs himself as the ringmaster and the non despair and non ultimate. He says the purpose of the killing game was to make all of the despairs suffer like he himself had suffer. As it turns out, while in despair, the rest of the cast had killed his loved ones and severely injured him. He threatens to blow up the refugees.

Mizuki crashes a truck she stole into the van, knocking the driver unconscious. She reveals Souji as fourteen and gives the survivors the option of killing him. They unanimously decide against it, and she says she's proud of them.

Love and Akira, two survivors from a previous game, arrive at the scene. Love frees the survivors from their cuffs but tazes Souji. Mizuki assures that the survivors that they won't be arrested again, and that she'll take care of them.

This time, with Mizuki, Love, and Akira there to vouch that no one there is immediately murderous, they are treated with respect and comfort.

As for the survivors, they move to a penthouse in Hollywood. Yoyo gets a therapy lizard and names it The Destroyer. Yuku gets a cool mask. Once Koiwa wakes up from his coma, he'll be angry, but Future Foundation can't risk immediately releasing him to the public. Hopefully he'll be able to work things out with the other survivors.

This is a broken family, but a loving one.

## Trivia

* here's a trivia piece i was told there would be a surprise if i chose yujiro as a character the only surprise i got was **PAIN**. FUCKAH U EVERGREEN /LH /J
* get stickbugged frosty LOL
* The concept for Despair Annihilation arose from the concept of a host who is technically the mastermind and the 'ringmaster,' as the role was later fondly dubbed, was manipulating the host into masterminding.
* Muffy, Yoyo Zhao's admin (@ludenberg on quotev), made a playlist that can be found here for the rpg.
* Not a single survivor of the game can be said to have survived normally.
	+ Kiichirou and Koiwa were both victims. Kogeki and Yuku were the Chapter Five blackeneds. As both being masterminds in their own right, Mizuki and Souji should have died according to the normal Danganronpa format. Yoyo, while not having gone through anything like this, jumped in front of Mizuki's katana in Chapter Three. If they had been standing a couple of inch forward, it would have slashed through their face instead of their mask.
