Danganronpa Voiceovers!

Before we go any farther, I guess I should introduce myself. My name's Makoto Naegi. As you can see, I'm nothing but a hopelessly average high school student. Average on the outside, average on the inside. I really don't have much going for me when it comes to grades, special abilities, even personality. I mean yeah, I have hobbies and stuff I like to do, but it's not like I'm a psychic or mutant or whatever. Like, if you asked me what my favorite song was, or my favorite movie or TV show... They'd all just be whatever's most popular at that particular moment.

That was how it all began... And how life as I knew it came to an end. At that point, I should have realized... The reason I was brought to Hope's Peak Academy wasn't because I had ultimate good luck. It was so I could experience ultimate despair...

No that's wrong!

My name is...Kyoko Kirigiri.

We need to get to the bottom of this and find out who killed Sayaka. We'll have to collect clues to form a foundation, then construct an argument to come to a final decision. If we get this wrong... Well, do I really have to say any more? Everyone pray for good luck.

There's a chance I may become a victim myself, I know. But I'm not as weak as you may think. I wouldn't go down without a fight, I assure you

Heya! I'm Aoi Asahina! But my friends just call me Hina. 'Sup?

We're picking up where we left off yesterday. I'm really hopin' we find something today! If we do, I'll be sure to let everyone know ASAP!

Maybe she was used to guys spoiling her. The law says you can't judge a book by its cover, right?

Name's Byakuya Togami.

Someone here might already have started thinking about murdering one of us. Are you saying we should stand around with them in our midst and make it that much easier for them?

I don't want to kill anyone. But I also don't want to stay here, living in blind denial day after day. I was just admiring how you could live like that and still keep your sanity.

I'm Yasuhiro Hagakure—Hiro for short! Take it easy, yeah? I know I will!

Come on, don't think like that. Cheer up! I bet this is all just part of the school's orientation procedure. Yeah, I'm sure that's it! So I'm just gonna take it easy for a little bit.

Well after being trapped here so long, even if you know it's a lie, you still gotta check, right? Gyaho! They preyed on my desire on my desire to get out of here! They deceived me!

N-Not that you'll remember my n-name anyway, but... I'm T-Toko... Toko Fukawa.

L-Let me make this perfectly c-clear! Me hanging out w-with two people who have muscles where th-their brains should be is not by ch-choice!

(As Genocider Syo) Well hello there! Is it me you were hoping to see!? So you figured it out, huh? Well, whatever! What're ya gonna do!? I'm the Ultimate Murderous Fiend, Genocide Jack! Or better yet, let's go with Genocide Jill! 

Hi, I'm Sayaka Maizono. I look forward to getting to know you!

I know how I look, but I've actually built some pretty good muscle jumping up and down on stage!

Like I said, I'm psychic. Come on, I'm just kidding! Seriously, I just have amazing intuition.

Hiii! I'm Junko Enoshima. Charmed, I'm sure!

Hey! Stop screwing around, all of you! Are you still asleep or something? We're prisoners here! We could all just die any second!

Shut the hell up! Say whatever you want, I'm not gonna be part of this!

Yo! The name's Leon Kuwata. What's up?

No way in hell am I letting someone kill me...! Alright, dammit! Let's do this!

I refuse to acknowledge you! You're stupid! Stupid! Stupid stupid stupid! Stupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupidstupid!!!

Name's Mondo Owada. Nice to fuckin' meetcha.

Lemme just say this right now! If whatever son of a bitch did this is here right now, and they're thinking of destroying that evidence... They'd better not let me find 'em! I'll skip the trial and cave their goddamn skull in myself! I'm serious! I will fuck them up!

Hell, let's make things interesting. Wouldn't wanna win without a challenge, right?

I'm Kiyotaka Ishimaru. I believe in bold simplicity! Let's work together on our educational crusade!

True. We need to find out where exactly we are. Is there any way out? What about food and supplies? There are tons of questions we need to answer!

Everyone, thank you for making time in your busy schedules to come together. I know I already mentioned this earlier, but... In order to get out of here, it is essential that we all cooperate with each other. And the first step is this breakfast meeting, to allow us to become friends and build trust! So from now on, let's all meet here in the dining hall every morning after the morning announcement! Now then, let's eat!

I...am Hifumi Yamada. But if you want to call me by my nickname, "The Alpha and the Omega!" I don't mind.

We were abducted out of nowhere and stuffed into this place meant to look like a school. And now we're supposed to start killing each other? This is... This is...this is just...! What IS this!?

They say if you collect all seven, a dragon will appear and grant you a single wish!

I do not think we have been introduced. I am Celestia Ludenberg. Ludenberg. It is my name. But if you don't mind, I would prefer you to call me Celeste. Heh-heh. I don't know what you are talking about. Celestia Ludenberg *is* my real name. But as I mentioned, I would much rather you call me Celeste. I look forward to know you better. Heh-heh-heh..

A lack of adaptability...is a lack of survivability. Survival is not based on who is the strongest or the smartest. It comes down to who can adapt.

Continuing to think about and talk about the deceased certainly isn't going to help anything. How many times have I told you? Anyone who can't adapt...will die. Death is the only thing awaiting those who are unable or unwilling to adapt. If that happens, you only have yourself to blame.

I am Sakura Ogami. 

But I'm not upset by what I saw. If you're overpowered, you must accept your death. That is the only way of my family. But still...I refuse to believe they would lose so easily. How...?

Friendship between men seems very...simplistic. Nothing like what I'm used to with girls.

(Royal Junko) We have been waiting! Waiting so very long for peasants like you to appear! If you swear your fealty to us, we will reward you with half of the entire world! We've even drawn up the deed already! We will grant you honor, status, and some of our home cooking! Have you made your choice? Will you serve under us?

(Semi Monotone to Psycho) The older sister, tough and proud—that was Mukuro. The younger sister, smart and cute—that was... Hyaaaahaha! Me! Junko fucking Enoshima! And together, we were the Despair Sisters! AKA the Ultimate Despair!

(Normal Junko) Puhuhu... Puhuhuhu! So this is how the despair of death feels... Ahh, it's so wonderful! Even a tenth of this despair... Even a hundredth...! I want every last soul on this planet to taste such despair! I want the entire world to die with that despair in its mouth! Okay, let's do this! I've reserved an extra special punishment for last! Let's give it everything we've got! It's...PUNISHMENT TIIIME!

It was a day that felt...truly significant. And when that long-awaited day finally came, I felt proud in a way I can't really put into words. I felt like...I had just become a part of something greater than myself. Does that make sense? Actually, that's exactly what it was like...I was truly in a dream.

I'm not so special that I *have* to introduce myself, and formalities are always a little embarrassing... Well, this *is* what's expected... I guess that's how I should think about it. My name is Hajime Hinata. There's only one reason I came to Hope's Peak Academy... Because I admired Hope's Peak Academy. To me, attending Hope's Peak Academy is like being a celebrity or a superhero.

Wherever I go...there are surveillance cameras all over the place. Whoever's controlling Monokuma must be monitoring us with these cameras, too... It pisses me off to think I'm being watched by a lunatic... But there's nothing I can do about it.

Yo! The name's Akane Owari! Nice to meetcha!

This Class Trial stuff again... So this time we gotta figure out who killed Mahiru, huh... I don't get complicated stuff, so I'll leave this to you guys.

Speakin' of which, why don't I challenge my limits!? I'm gonna eat everythin' in the restaurant!

Name's Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu... Just so we're clear, I don't plan to act friendly and shit with you guys.

Don't talk to me like we're friends or something! I live in a completely different world than you bastards... Kill or be killed... That's the kind of world I live in. Heh, the current rules make more sense to me than that "Play nice and get along" crap.

Hmph...I'm not avoiding you bastards. ...I've just decided not to rely on anyone. That includes the Kuzuryu Clan... I can still survive without relying on them...

My name is Sonia Nevermind. I am foreign exchange student from a small European kingdom called Novoselic. I may cause trouble here and there, but I hope we can get along well.

Society is much like fruit. Once it matures, it is inevitable that it will eventually rot. As the economy grows, the private sector stagnates as elders and bureaucrats become more and more powerful... As time passes, this power becomes the status quo, and crushes the seeds of any possible reformation... ...Such a sad trend.

There should be a new clue contained in what Hiyoko has told us... So...let us believe Hiyoko's words and discuss it once again with everyone!

Name's Kazuichi Soda. I'm the Ultimate Mechanic. Nice to meet ya.

You're totally right... What we need to do right now...is do our best...! If we do our best...it's definitely going to pay off, right?

Horizons...are beautiful things...that you keep chasing after, right...probably...? Soooooo...what exactly is a "horizon" anyway?

My name is Teruteru Hanamura. On the streets, I'm known as the Ultimate Cook... But could you guys call me the Ultimate Chef instead? It has more of a...big-city flavor to it, ya know? Mmhmhm, I hope we get along well.

Well, of course you can't stop. These are the world's tastiest party dishes, after all. No matter how full you feel, you can't help but continue eating such exquisite delicacies... That is what I cook, the world's tastiest dishes!

But walking down that dark hallway to the storage room is like trying to make eggs benedict without any eggs!

Let's see... I'm Mahiru Koizumi. I'll be counting on you from now on.

Hey, straigten up a little more! Shouldn't a man like you be embarrassed to walk like that?

Hey, what's the deal? Don't butt into other people's business, especially if you didn't do any investigating.

My name is Peko Pekoyama. It is nice to meet you, too.

Just stop already... This kind of fighting will not get us anywhere

There is no escape... We have no choice but to press forward. Now then, let us go.

"I," "Buki," "Mio," "Da!" Put it together and what do you get? Ibuki Mioda!

Apparently, a great man once said, "Investigations should be done on foot." Sooo, that's why I'm also using my feet! I'm just walking around for no particular reason!

An army marches on its stomach, while swimmers can only splash around on their stomachs too! I'm gonna heartily eat a hamburger with a side of rice!

I'm Hiyoko Saionji.

Kyahaha! Even though you look all flashy, you're actually a big coward! Are you gonna be okaaaay? People like you are usually the first victim, you know?

See...I already told you... There's no way I'd kill Mahiru... Cause...Mahiru taught me how to wear a kimono...and she was very, very kind... There's no way I would kill a nice person like her! Why wouldn't you believe me earlier!? You guys are stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

M-My name is Mikan Tsumiki. Um... From the bottom of my heart, I hope we can get along.

Hehe...I'm so, so, soooo happy...I was able to play with a friend... Hehehehehehehe... Thank you very much, Chiaki.

Wh-Why...? Wh-Why can't you forgive me...!? Why...!? Why does everybody always hate me!? You should just forgive me already!

I am the Ultimate Team Manager, NEKOMARU NIDAI!!!

However, if you think I'd be angered by something like that, you've all underestimated my nerve and patience. Do all and achieve all with one's presence of mind! That is the goal of a true leader! In other words, a leader must never falter in any situation, but always have the presence of one's mind!

There's only one Ultimate Masseuse and that's me! NEKOMARU NIDAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! I'll knead every pressure point throughout your body, and I'll help you see a brand new world!

Kehehe, would you like to know my name? Others may see your courage as recklessness... However...I welcome it. In honor of your courage, I shall reveal to you my name. May you never forget is as long as you live! You may call me...Gundham Tanaka! Remember it well, for it is the name that will one day rule this world!

You humans...are so satisfied with clothing yourselves in layers of false knowledge! But even with all those layers, you still will not survive the winter! Tch! It was foolish of me to rely on you fools... Fine, I shall do something about it on my own. Now if you'll excuse me, I must go save the world.

Despite your lowly intellect, you humans attempt to create worlds within games, but... Fuhahahahaha! How humorous, how pitiful! You humans behave like gods in your fictional worlds... That act alone is an imitation of us. Because... The reality you humans cling to and believe to be real is merely one of the countless board games we won!

That's right, I am a squeezably soft stuffed animal. Magical Miracle Girl ★ Usami...A.K.A. Usami! I may not look like it, but I am your squeezably soft teacher. Nice to meet you all!

Yes, if it strengthens everyone's bonds with each other, then I will not hesitate to cooperate. So in that case, I will allow you to enter the old building! I'll cooperate so we can all party together!

I'm Monomi! And my heart is throbbing like crazy right now! The group's leader, Byakuya, got killed... And his killer is among this group of students...? Nope, I'm not gonna believe it! I'll never believe it! Cuz...I believe in everyone. So do your best! And don't forget to save regularly!

I'm... Shuichi Saihara. They call me the Ultimate Detective, but...

Kaede wants me to reveal the truth. She trusts me with her wish... So...I can't back down. I need to fulfill her wish! I need to fight for the truth!

Even if it were possible to speak with the dead... I don't have anything to say. Not yet. The only thing I'd want to say is... We escaped. We finally got out of here...

My name is Rantaro Amami. I can't remember my Ultimate talent at the moment... But I promise I'm not a bad guy. Nice to meet you.

We all know it's better to cooperate rather than betray each other, right? But if you don't cooperate, you receive some benefit that no one else gets. It's an incentive to betray the group to give yourself an advantage. With that in the back of our minds, we're all likely to cooperate. That's Monokuma's plan. To make a non-cooperative game that tanks Kaede's plan to get us to cooperate.

Everyone's a little anxious about not being able to remember how they got here, right? Well, in my case, not only am I dealing with that, I also can't remember my talent. So I guess I'm asking you to...bear with me if I say things that don't make sense sometimes.

Nothing. No light. No sound. No form. No voice. No knowledge of who I am. ...Who am I? Who am I? I extend a hand. A hand that belongs to no one. To take hold of my existence-- This is me. My name is Kaede Akamatsu. I just remembered who I am. Nice to meet...me. I'm the protagonist of this crazy story.

But they say kids are very intuitive. If they like you that much... ...then they can probably tell how loving you really are, Maki!

It may take one more try or a lot more tries, but it's not impossible. Forget about Monokuma. It doesn't matter what he says to us. I don't wanna lose to him! And I don't want any of you to lose, either! I refuse to lose to someone who would do these terrible things to us!

Ryoma Hoshi, the man called the Ultimate Tennis Pro... no longer exists. I'm nothing more than his empty shell.

I understand that you want to believe in everyone, but... Idealistic thoughts like that won't save anyone. You might end up losing what you tried to save.

This world can be too big and bright for eyes that have spent too long staring down. So be careful. Don't let your eyes deceive you...

I am Kirumi Tojo, the Ultimate Maid. Please let me know if you require my service.

I hold no opinions or desires of which to speak. As a maid, my only desire is to fulfill the desires of others. So please, think about what you desire for yourself, and what you desire from me. No matter the situation, no matter what happens, I am here to serve everyone.

A true maid must be able to adapt to any situation. Besides... I, too, intend to fulfill Kaede's request. So I will valiantly perform any task, trivial or otherwise.

Yah-hah! How are ya? My name is Angie Yonaga! I'm the Ultimate Artist!

Nyahahaha! There's no reason to carry bad thoughts with ya! You gotta live every day like it's bright, cheery, and fun!...So says Atua.

It's not enough to simply live here forever. Our lives must also be full of divine purpose. In other words... We must make this academy heaven on earth! In doing so...our desire to leave will vanish, and the killings will cease.

I'm Tenko Chabashira! HAIYAH! The Ultimate Aikido Master!

I'm yelling so I can build up my spirit energy! Don't you know you can unlock your brain's full potential by yelling to build up spirit energy!?

Sucker punching is pretty low...even for a lowlife degenerate male like you. You better knock it off or I'm gonna explode my Neo-Aikido all over your face!

You wonder, "Who is this?" Yes... I shall make that clear first. My name is Korekiyo Shinguji... I am called the Ultimate Anthropologist.

You should find the answers to such questions on your own...The moment your hopes are shattered...That, too...may be beautiful...

Aaah, humanity is *truly* wonderful. The way you all confront adversity is beautiful.

Huh? S-Seriously? You don't... know who I am? I'm the gorgeous girl genius whose good looks and golden brain will go down in history! I'm the one, the only, the legendary Ultimate Inventor herself - Miu Iruma!

If anything happens to me, y'all better beg my fans, the world, and humanity for forgiveness!

No, it's still wrong to think that Tenko was killed during the seance. I'm gonna prove it right now... My golden brain is gonna go all out!

Oh... right! Gonta need to make introduction! Ummm... Gonta's name is Gonta Gokuhara. Gonta's talent is Ultimate Entomologist. Gonta want to become gentleman! Becoming true gentleman Gonta's goal!

Cuz of forest family, Gonta learn to speak bug and animal. As thanks Gonta wanna show forest family what great gentleman Gonta is!

Forest family teach Gonta... Everything that born and everything that die...is part of grand flow. And flow never rewind... Gonta would be happy if everything that die could come back... But even Gonta know, there no way to take back what already happen...!

I'm Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader!

You guys talk about cooperation and teamwork, but you're all afraid. You're too scared to point your fingers at others, so you hide behind the word, "trust.

Nee-heehee... I do lie a lot, and I could be lying right now too... But, I'm pretty sure *someone's* panicking right now because of my lie.

I'm Kaito Momota, Luminary of the Stars! Even crying children adore the Ultimate Astronaut! 

Shut up! That's just the stupid end result! It's not like you wanted it to go that way! Listen up. Don't apologize for something that's not your fault! It'll just make you feel bad! Everyone just decided to blame you and give up. I'm gonna give 'em a piece of my mind later.

Understand? There's only one way to get through this awful feeling. No one's gonna be able to console you're just sitting here alone. If anyone's gonna help you, it'll be her...in your memories.

You're right. We should at least think of an interesting way to kill you. Maybe I'll pick ya up and squeeze ya till your guts come gushin' out like toothpaste!

Hell yeah! Students would do anything for the honor of bein' a chosen Ultimate!

I cut off the leg before the poison spread! By spring, flowers'll grow from the stump!

Don't worry about us. The real issue is youse bastards. Well, 'issue' is putting it mildly...This is actually a huge problem. Youse all have forgotten your talents and became generic high school students.

Well, I think the threatening vibe we Monokubs give off is perfect. Cuz we're a team of scary badasses who are gonna drag you down to hell!

Y'know how it gets awkward at funerals when ya start askin' about the cause of death? If we pass out Monokuma Files, even the worst deaths will get a giggle outta the attendees!

THANK-YOU-FATHER. BUT-THE-ACADEMY-IS-UNDER-OUR-HARMONIOUS-CONTROL-NOW.

NO-MORE-BLAMING-EACH-OTHER. EVERYBODY-MAKES-MISTAKES. I-WANT-US-ALL-TO-GET-ALONG.

SOMEONE-MIGHT-USE-THIS-KEY...FOR-MURDER. BECAUSE-KEYS...ARE-MYSTERIOUS. IF-SOMETHING-BAD-HAPPENS, IT-WOULD-BE-TOO-LATE... I-WANT ...EVERYONE-TO-GET-ALONG.

Wait! We can't kill them with the Exisals. According to the schedule, the Exisals aren't supposed to show up till later!

We want you guys to keep honing your Ultimate talents, so we set up these rooms for you. 

They burn down the forests we call home! They pollute the rivers we drink from! I'll never forgive humans!

My name is Komaru Naegi, I'm a completely normal high school girl who lives an abnormal daily life.

Unlike you, I'm... I'm just some normal, regular girl. I-I can't even do anything... No matter what I do, or how hard I try, I'm... I'm just gonna die here...

I know it's dangerous, but we found a way to survive up until now... So I want to keep trying. Keep going forward.

My name is Nagisa Shingetsu. In the Warriors of Hope, I act as the vice leader and Sage. When I attended elementary school, I was known as Li'l Ultimate Social Studies. Of course, Social Studies is but one area of my expertise. I excel at all scholarly pursuits. I was labeled Li'l Ultimate Social Studies because I was raised to be among society's elite. And... I suppose I am a babysitter of sorts for the Warriors of Hope... Monaca excluded.

D-Don't be stupid! That's not true! I'll be a kid until I die! I would rather die right now than become an adult! Don't you believe me?

Justice and evil, these are beliefs that *adults* have defined, are they not? First off, pure evil simply does not exist. In all evil there is something good. And in the same way, "justice" always hurts someone. There is no pure justice, either.

Oh, um, my name is Jataro Kemuri. And bird skin isn't yummy no matter how you cook it. I was really good at arts and crafts, so they called me Li'l Ultimate Art. If it's arts and crafts, leave it to me. I can remove nails, and varnish, and things...I do the Priest thing for the Warriors of Hope...Oh, and also, I wonder if aliens exist.

We're a party of heroes that hunt down Demons... But nobody really wants me in the group...

Ahhh, oh no! This is such a bother... What if my good image is soiled by this? What if people avoid me all the time, and I can split them like Moses? ...Oh. That actually sounds pretty good...
