Danganronpa: Case Zero

Danganronpa: Case Zero

Project Overview

Sixteen "Ultimates," each guilty of a hidden crime, are offered a second chance: escape the law and start over in an undisclosed facility—far from judgment, far from consequence. But what seemed like salvation becomes a nightmare when one of them is murdered, and a twisted puppet-like host named Marionette unveils the truth:

They’ve entered a killing game. And the only way out... is to get away with murder.

Danganronpa: Case Zero is a dark, original story set before the events of the main Danganronpa series, exploring the line between guilt and survival. These aren't innocent teenagers trapped in despair—they're people with blood on their hands. And now, someone else wants to finish what they started.

As secrets unravel and the body count rises, trust is shattered and strategy becomes deadly. Who will kill? Who will survive? And who was behind it all from the start?

Ultimate: The Ultimate Botanist

Status: Murdered

Nao Fujimoto radiated warmth, light, and an aura of gentleness. She spoke softly to her plants, often more than to people. As the Ultimate Botanist, her knowledge of flora bordered on the obsessive.

Nao claimed ignorance, that she never meant for her work to harm. But when her greenhouse was linked to mass casualties, she vanished without a trace. The invitation to this facility felt like a second chance… like soil rich enough to grow a new life. Throughout her short time in the game, Nao bonded with Renjiro. She has a medium-high voice and her voice claim is Mikan

  • "I’m Nao. Plants don’t judge. They just grow, even in poisoned soil..."
