Danganronpa: Targeting Despair
Writer	Dakuni / Hippo
Information

Danganronpa: Targeting Despair is an AU where the entire danganronpa timeline is rewritten hence modifying the already established killing games, with the addition of three new games : Danganronpa: Heartless Disguise, Danganronpa: Perfect Oblivion and Danganronpa: Wonderful World.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
Full name	The Killing School Life
Occured in	Hope's Peak Academy
Participants	16
Survivors	6
Victims	10
Mastermind	Junko Enoshima
Host	Monokuma

Maybe the least changed mutual killing game, as only the survivors and the murders are different from the canon timeline. This killing game itself has little to no influence on the main timeline and course of events.

Cast

• Makoto Naegi
• Kyoko Kirigiri
• Byakuya Togami
• Aoi Asahina
• Toko Fukawa / Genocider Syo
• Yasuhiro Hagakure
• Mondo Oowada
• Hifumi Yamada
• Celestia Ludenberg
• Sayaka Maizono
• Leon Kuwata
• Sakura Ogami
• Kiyotaka Ishimaru
• Chihiro Fujisaki
• Junko Enoshima
• Mukoro Ikusaba (disguised as Junko)

Events

Chapter 1

Mondo and Kiyotaka are now best friends from the start. Sayaka's plan succeeds and Leon is murdered inside Makoto's room. However, Sayaka is found guilty and executed.

Chapter 2

Ishimondo is slowly blooming between Taka and Mondo. Chihiro decides to help his friends by building Alter-Ego, however it soon became an object coveted by many students, including Hifumi. Chihiro murders Hifumi (mostly by accident) and is found guilty before being executed. Genocider reveals herself at the end of the class trial.

Chapter 3

Genocider is scaring the remaining students, promping a tense situation to fall on the survivors. Kyoko uses Alter-Ego to learn more about the school and her missing memories. Celestia once again took the bait for money and manipulates Yasuhiro before killing him, trying to blame Kiyotaka but she's found as the blackened and executed.

Chapter 4

Sakura is revealed as the traitor, not easing the tensions arising, yet Hina, Taka and Makoto manage to stop her from comitting suicide. The disguised Mukuro tries to get closer to Makoto, manipulating him for an upcoming plan. Toko is eventually found dead and Byakuya is deemed as the culprit, claiming she was a threat for the group and his personal life. Trying to escape his execution, he ultimately fails and is executed at his turn.

Chapter 5

With the tensions gone, calm seems to profile itself, only until Mukuro is found dead and Makoto pinned as her murderer by Junko herself. In truth, Mukoro is still alive. Makoto is saved by Alter-Ego and survives his execution and reunites with Kyoko.

Chapter 6

The six surviving students are tasked by Monokuma to uncover the mysteries shrouding the academy and to solve Mukuro's fake death. During the class Trial, Junko murders Mukuro to feel the darkest despair, and the survivors ultimately decide to leave the academy when offered to. Junko executes herself.

Epilogue

Aoi Asahina, Sakura Ogami, Mondo Oowada, Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Makoto Naegi and Kyoko Kirigi escape Hope's Peak alive. A romantic bond between Mondo and Taka is hinted at.

Major changes

• The survivors escaping Hope's Peak and joining the Future Foundation.
• Ishimondo is now canon.
• Mukoro survives a lot longer under Junko's false identity.

Events

Chapter 1

Hajime awakens on a unknown island with his classmates, greeted by Monomi. She asks them to collect fragments of hope yet Monokuma appears and starts a new killing game. In the uprising tensions and their stolen memories, Teruteru murders Imposter while aiming for Nagito. He's uncovered and executed.

Chapter 2

The class wishes for a peaceful life, but Monokuma disrupts the calm with a new motive : Twilight Syndrom Despair. Enamored by the game, Fuyuhiko plans to kill Mahiru but Peko deals the lethal blow, prompting herself as the blackened. However, during the class trial, when designated by her classmates, Monokuma cancels the vote, affirming Fuyuhiko is the true blackened. After a tearfully parting, the class is executed and an empty Peko is allowed to go free. Suddenly, everything collapses and a white light overwhelmes her.

Prologue

Peko awakens in a pod, in the future foundation. The New World Program failed and her classmates are now in a comatose state, including Fuyuhiko. A very disheveled Makoto greets her and allows her to stay in the base until they found a way to bring them all back. Grasping to this tiny and only hope, she accepts.

Major changes

• The Future Foundation approved this project, as it would have allowed them to use Izuru's abilities to battle against the Remnants as the Ultimate Hope.
• Chiaki is alive, Chisa Yukizome was killed in her place by Junko in order to bring despair to Izuru, whom she took care of during the Hope Project, and the class.
• Peko is the only survivor, the others are in a comatose state.
• The Killing Game ended up abruptly.

Epilogue

Following several days without killing, the remaining students are about to be executed by a despair driven Tsumugi, lining up several exisals behind them. As they're about to die, the dome exploses, taken down by the Future Foundation seeking Tsumugi. Survivors Gonta Gokuhara, Kaede Akamatsu, Rantaro Amami, Tenko Chabashira, Kirumi Tojo and Kiibo use this opportunity to escape, while Ryoma Hoshi is taken hostage by Tsumugi Shirogane. The FF neutralizes them both and the survivors are rescued by Jared Kasai, driving them to the bunker. This event is depicted in the first tome of Danganronpa: Hope will come as the V3 Mission.

Major changes

• The cast possesses real talents and were scouted by Hope's Peak in 6th grade. They're actually the last class bench before the Tragedy.
• The Ultimate Academy is an annex from Hope's Peak
• The survivors escaping the killing game and joining the Hope Shelter Organization.
• The Killing Game is abruptly ended.
• Tsumugi is a Remnant of Despair, the Danganronpa company and everything it implies (TV show) doesn't exist in this timeline.
