Danganronpa: Creation of Despair

As this season did not include a logo, here is the Discord Logo.

***Danganronpa: Creation of Despair*** is the third season of the series, and serves as the direct sequel to the story begun in the previous two seasons. In terms of changes, this season introduced new bot commands being added for inspecting items, and also worked to make the concepts already in the previous seasons work better. For this season, like the last, players who had previously played dead or alive were not allowed to apply with a new character.

## Synopsis

After heading northeast of the killing game that they escaped previously, Jam Aubrey finds a facility. As they approach it, they begin to feel limp and pass out due to actions taken by the Ultimate Imposter. Inside of the building, 16 other students coming from Class 75-B (with the exception of 'Jeff', who comes from a different class) are prepared to be a part of a new killing game. Unlike the second season, there was still an extra spot for a new student to be thrown into the mix, so no killings were necessary. This game runs at the same time as Danganronpa: Project Shima.

## Gameplay

This season included the same movement mechanics as from the previous season, Danganronpa: Project Shima, in the sense that all movements throughout rooms could now be done through Mee6 commands, using !goto-#, with # being the room number that they would move towards using a map provided.

Items, however, still worked the same way as in Discord Danganronpa, and would manually be done through the host, being removed from a room description and added to a player's inventory. However, within rooms, there would now be commands which would allow players to inspect certain items within rooms, by first specifying the room and item like so: !#-item.

To interact with other players, the same would occur as previously, 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

*(Within the lore, this game runs from February 20th, 1998 to March 1st, 1998)*

### Chapter 1

Before this game even began with an announcement of the killing game, many of the participants developed quick distrust of each other. When the game began, many talks about who would want to kill arose, including one between two students, Nifty Nick, and Yuzu Sakenomi, who had planned to kill one person a piece and causes confusion at the trial for who the real killer was in hopes they could both escape.

When a time limit was given, threatening to end everyone's lives if no one died by a set date, Yuzu would head to someone else with this plan, that person being Alice Rodobo. The two planned a kill together, where Alice would kill Michio Shiin, and Yuzu would kill Jason Breakfast afterwards. Some nearby bystanders were able to walk into the crime scene before it was complete and find the bodies rather quickly.

At the trial, the group was given an option to go for both killers, or to only go for one. In the event they went for both, they would have two separate votes: one for the first killer and one for the second. If both were not correct, the vote would fail. The consensus at the end of the trial was to go for only one of the killers, which would eventually lead to Alice being ratted out by Yuzu, causing Alice to be voted and executed. During this trial, Adam Soruba and Nifty Nick had a very large disagreement over the validity of letting the second killer leave the trial alive.

### Chapter 2

Like the first two seasons, violence began as soon as everyone had left the trial room, with Adam Soruba locking himself and Nifty Nick in a bathroom. With no one else being able to get into the room due to it being locked from the inside, the two had another argument like the one had at the trial, and as a result of the argument, after making sure everyone outside heard the fighting, Adam stabbed himself in the stomach, hoping to blame Nifty for his death.

This all happened before an announcement or a new area was able to be opened.

At the trial, while some still had their skepticisms, the group eventually voted for Adam, letting the group live for another trial.

### Chapter 3

When the announcement was called, it was given instead by a different man in a disguise rather than Monokuma (the Ultimate Impostor). The man tells the group from a room that the group recognizes as a locked room they have been able to peer into but not enter. The man claims that every student has a 'Despair Piece' inside of them, showing the name of Darkrai Shimeki to lure the students even further.

After the announcement, a new floor of the building is opened. Including an orientation center, an arts hallway, a theater, and a music room. Inspired by the motive and lured by the story of the predicament they are stuck in as per their ultimate, Raiden Aiyama began plotting a murder of their own. They began by knocking out and blinding 6 of their fellow students: Jam Aubrey, Marks Wright, Fire Buriza, Nifty Nick, and Todd Shobo-Shi, along with their target of murder, Syrius Krash. While the 6 were blindfolded in the new area, Raiden used a drumstick to stab Syrius in the side of the head and planned to do more to prepare the body, but Jam began to wake up and take off the blindfold, prompting Raiden to run away.

At the trial, despite a very split vote, Raiden is correctly voted as the killer and is executed as a result.

### Chapter 4

During the next announcement, Monokuma reveals that the name of the 'Despair Pieces' was a made-up word for a person's heart, stating that everyone's hearts will do evil, showing a video of Darkrai Shimeki shooting a bow and arrow at a car, causing a crash on the highway. Equally incriminating videos of the cast are threatened to be shown as a part of the motive.

Along with the motive, the new areas opened. This included part of a new floor, including a greenhouse and a shooting range. The shooting range had a gun inside, which was taken by Marks Wright.

For this chapter, Kasei Shimeki became the one to break and planned a murder of their own. Using an icicle, they stabbed Yahui Jin in the greenhouse and allowed the icicle to melt on the stairs to the 3rd floor. The freezer where this icicle was made was unknown to many of the students, and, as a result, the trial became quite difficult. However, in the end, the correct decision was reached due to Kasei freaking out.

During this trial, Yuzu Sakenomi did not vote, causing them to seemingly be killed by a statue falling from the ceiling.

### Chapter 5

Following the previous trial, there was no announcement, and instead, the new area opened without any exposition. The new area included a pool and an empty room. This was because the group who had survived Danganronpa: Project Shima had arrived outside. They were met with an old man waiting near a gate (the Ultimate Imposter) inside of a toll booth. He told the group that they had to solve a code to enter the facility.

Inside of the building, Todd Shobo-Shi began his own murder plan on Fire Buriza, terrified of what the lack of the announcement may mean. He began by burning Fire on the stove in the kitchen, and after making sure he was thoroughly dead, carried the body up to the top floor and dropped him in the pool. Very soon after this, Jam Aubrey saw the trail of blood and ashes and follows it up to the pool, where they find Todd, who attempts to pass off the ashes and blood as something else.

During the investigation, the students inside of the school are given an option on whether or not those outside should be allowed inside of the building; if three of them said yes, they would be allowed access. Three people said yes, and since the requirement was met, the 8 survivors entered the building once the trial begun.

At the trial, the consensus is reached upon Todd being the killer, though the trial is very drawn out due to Todd being convincing and quick witted for a while.

### Chapter 6

At the beginning of the chapter, Monokuma called for a meeting, which consisted of all 8 survivors who had now arrived in the building along with the 5 who had survived this killing game thus far. The meeting was held on the 3rd floor. The meeting begun with a door being opened, while initially believed to be a new floor of the building by those there, was instead a glass box behind the door. Inside of the glass box was a hospital bed with someone seemingly in it and a man standing over the bed in a cloak.

The man in the cloak spoke, claiming to be the one that is responsible for all of the killing games. They say that in order to leave the building, the group must solve their own identity and the identity of the person under the sheet. He claimed that the two of them had their deaths faked during one of the three seasons - the one standing faked their own death, and the one in the bed had their death faked for them by the mastermind. They also told the group that if anyone kills before the trial begun, they would be allowed to immediately leave the building.

During the investigation, the only person who attempts to take advantage of this is Quillss Alhabi, who attempts to kill Marks Wright. However Marks uses the gun they had previously obtained and kills Quillss.

After a discussion, the group uncovers the identity of both, the one under the sheet being Yuzu Sakenomi, and the one who had masterminded the games being Connor Moon. After both identities are confirmed true, Connor tells the group that he had planted a mastermind in each of the three games, each of them hiding under the alias of the Ultimate Comedian (the real Ultimate of 'Jeff'). They all came from a group called 'The Ambassadors of Despair'. In each game, the three were set to receive their memories back during the second phase of the game. After seeing how 'Creeper' failed once Connor had faked his death and regained his own memories, Connor disabled the serum that would give the memories back to 'Jeff' thinking he would fail the same way.

Connor followed this by telling the group that the true mastermind of the game they are trying to escape from is 'Jeff', and tries to garner the votes against 'Jeff' instead of himself. If the group votes for 'Jeff', Connor says 'Jeff' will be executed and the despair-ridden memories will be removed from 'Creeper' permanently. And if the majority voted for Connor, he will be executed alongside 'Creeper'

The result of the votes is an overwhelming majority for 'Jeff', but as 'Jeff' is about to be executed, the execution stops suddenly as all of the Monokuma robots turn off, and 'Remote' breaks into the building, alongside an army of Monokuma robots. Connor and 'Creeper' are pinned down, and he told Connor he wouldn't let him do whatever he wanted to to accomplish his goals. He told the ones in the building not currently trapped that he has a safehouse (hinting into the ending of Season 4), where he has friends who he's been keeping safe as well. When he goes to take Yuzu away with the rest of the group, he finds the body has already been hidden and was never there. He can't bring himself to kill Connor, thinking that is what Connor wants.

### Post Game

After this, 'Remote' leaves the facility with all of the students who survived to this point, those being: Jam Aubrey, Futoshi Hokama, Nifty Nick, Marks Wright, 'Jeff', (the ones who survived this season) Scott 'Scooter' Scoal, Tomomi Chikara, Moo Shantay, Koji Hideki, Walker Stalker and James 'Slime' Aper (the ones who came from the location of the second season). After consideration, 'Jeff' was still taken with them due to his memories of being an agent of despair being permanently erased.

'Creeper' and Connor Moon were left at the facility, left to be trapped under the Monokumas until they would somehow regain control of them.

## Trivia

* Nifty Nick is commonly referred to as the protagonist of the season.
* After the first chapter when Yuzu had survived within the game despite killing someone, it was planned then that Yuzu would be the one that Connor would use her as the vessel for creating Junko. However, Yuzu not voting at a trial and dying causing her death to be 'faked' was not a planned occurrence, but worked out pretty well.
* Of the Discord servers that still exist and are accessible, this is the only one without a season logo.
* The majority of the names this season only included a singular word for their name. The ones that now have a second name were created at the beginning of Season 5, either deriving from their talent in Japanese, or the roleplayers' choice.
* This season had a total of 23 applications.
