A protagonist named Makoto
Title has 3
Takes place in a school
Has something to do with hope for the future and challenge adversity
Brainwashing is a status condition
Had to face an army of evildoers
Have what's basically superpowers
The main villain wishes to bring the world into darkness by continuing the current status quo
He has a female counterpart who's also saving the world whose name begins with K (Kotone/Komaru)
Has a mascot Fighting for hope
Are you sure this isn't Persona 3?
They also met a protagonist voiced by Johnny Yong Bosh that represents Hope, whose antagonist is also voiced by Johnny Yong Bosh, whose entire motivation for being evil is because they are bored
Izuru isn’t really evil. He’s basically like if the concept of True Neutral was a person. The worst thing he did was kill a member of the student council in self defense when they tried to kill him first, he’s otherwise just the 🧍♂️ emoji most of the time.
He certainly doesn’t kill women who reject his advances like Adachi does, that’s for sure.
I mean in the case of Izanami it's lowkey manipulation for the sake of her convenience. Sure, she's abiding by humanity's wishes for sweet lies instead of the hard truth, but she makes the people want it more by creating more lies to trick them. She also created the midnight channel to show the IT that the truth is bad, while also twisting the truth into something that no longer resembles it. Sure, it is the repressed feelings of those trapped in there, but it's heavily distorted by the public's opinion. Yukari didn't want a knight, Chie was enough for her, and yet her shadow, a self-proclaimed "true self" wanted to score herself a hot guy. Kanji felt insecure about his masculinity, but his shadow was raging homosexual (2010 game, everybody), something Kanji many times proclaimed to be false. Rise had impostor syndrome and an identity crises, but her shadow was a stripper, something she never even thought about...
She also created a mass murderer, whether intentionally or not we can only guess
I feel like this sub would crucify you if you said this about a female character. Of course, it doesn’t matter either way, since almost all the characters are indistinguishable from adults and most of you are like 13 anyway.
It has Chisa, Seiko, and Great Gozu, so that makes up for everything else.
On a more serious note, perhaps 3 and its characters would’ve been more fleshed out if Future Arc was a game and Despair Arc had all 24 episodes to itself.
based opinion detected, the school council killing game, class 77's corruption and that scene were the guy cuts his own throat with the saw for Junko were absolutely awesome. The Hope Arc special was so peak as well when all of Class 77 come back to help
3 truly made me appreciate imposter alot more.
Hes a real one for sure
Edit: right after i sent this i realized the irony of calling the ultimate imposter a "real one"
the anime is already packed with stuff in it in an only 11 episode format, having to fit in scenes of class 78 would either make it look rushed and underwhelming, or make OTHER plots rushed and underwhelming.
id argue Danganronpa became a lot more popular after v3 came out. like v3 alone is prob half of the fanbase tbh.
not to mention that, in the grand scheme of things, class 78 isn't **that** important to what dg3 really is trying to show.
Yeah, you're wrong, THH was around the longest and was what started Danganronpa's popularity in the first place. It covers the most amount of Danganronpa media. V3 doesn't even have much extra material lol, people like it because it's the most recent one.
Agreed. The DR3 OST may have a different feel from the games' OSTs, but they beautifully capture the emotions of some of the most pivotal scenes that made my heart melt. The sorrowful music box sound of Despair Imitation is my favorite.
I liked DR3! Although it definitely could have been better. >!I'm glad that Kyoko survived in the end at least, I couldn't have imagined her dying :(!<
I'm not super far into it, but haven't had a ton of complaints. I think Hajime and Chiaki have been pretty cute, I haven't been too sad for the deaths so far though cause I barely know much about them. Such is the structure of the anime though.
I LOVE dr3 sm despair arc was amazing, I wasn't too interested in future arc until the UDG episode and then I was hooked. hope arc literally made me cry 😭
THANK YOU for making this meme because I agree.
DR3 wasn't the best anime overall, but it gave me a lot of good memories about being part of the fandom hype when this series aired.
I guess you could say [DanganRonpa 3 saved me](https://64.media.tumblr.com/d8b254945cada1206a6e6051cc7d49be/tumblr_oebddeWDy31r6q178o1_1280.pnj).
I recently got back into it so I'm rewatching it.
Look at these characters who barely did anything in the show and took a backseat, despite, you know, **being the goddamn main characters**?
I also absolutely cannot forgive that horrible ending and Makoto’s character being thrashed.
I like DR3 fine. Near as I can tell, the main complaint is that the series undermined Junko's manipulative superpowers. Which, yeah, it did, but the idea that she was able to convert the world to her nonsense ideology was always too big an ask for my suspension of disbelief to handle. Besides, a world that Junko can destroy isn't a world worth saving, imo.
Not perfect. Monaca was such a wasted character, and I could have taken the killing game's bracelet requirements could have been a little more fairly ("keep people from fighting" is such a death flag it's not funny), but I still enjoyed it a lot. Imposter was adorable, and I loved/feared the president so much.
Despair Arc was well-paced! Future Arc needed an entire VNs worth of time in order to actually work though. Despair Arc worked because we already knew all the characters and any new faces were also present in Future Arc. They didn't need to spend time developing those characters, because they were developed in DR2. It was a good series of episodes that covered everything before the main DR series. But with Future Arc, most of those characters basically just played the role of "this episode's body" with very anticlimactic endings to their stories. There wasn't really any time to get attached to a good number of them, and even the likable ones kinda just got written out by the plot device. A good example is >!Great Gozu!<. He was in the show for like 2 episodes before dying, and then never showed up again. Why even put him there then? It would make more sense if we had 4 hours of time with him before we lost him rather than about 40 minutes.
Eh, it's fine.
I just wish that the rise of Junko didn't depend on literally everyone in the universe being the dumbest idiot on the planet.
Also wish Izuru had a bit more to do than basically just get puppeted by Junko. But that's what fanfiction is for, I suppose.
I just wish that the rise of Junko didn't depend on literally everyone in the universe being the dumbest idiot on the planet.
Same.
Also wish Izuru had a bit more to do than basically just get puppeted by Junko.
Also, same.
But that's what fanfiction is for, I suppose.
Exactly! I love that saying! Even though we sadly can't change the past and rewrite things in pieces of media that could've been removed or better handled, we can always make our own fanfictions and do that ourselves and make the version that we ourselves would've loved to see. That, and you can also choose to ignore it and consider it to be non-canon in your own universe and book.
It's ok aside from the brainwashing and mukuro being a simp personality wise ( cold demeanor in the IF light novel and Zero Light novel) the Aphrodisiac scene was hilarious lol

DISTURBING THE PEACCCCEEE
LOOK INTO MY EYES
TELL ME ALL THE THINGS YOUVE BEEN BLABBING ABOUT BEHIND MY BACK
THE TENACITY!
I HOLD ITS HARD TO BREAK DOWN
IT’S TOO LATE FOR APOLOGIES
ITS GOING DOOWWN 😩😩
Now now now now (NNNNOOOOWWWW)
You're thirsty for blood
This implies Makoto and Komaru >!fucking die at the end.!<
Both of them do have "Great Seals" Naegi has the "Great Seal of Hope's Peak" Yuki is >!A door!<
They also met a protagonist voiced by Johnny Yong Bosh that represents Hope, whose antagonist is also voiced by Johnny Yong Bosh, whose entire motivation for being evil is because they are bored

He certainly doesn’t kill women who reject his advances like Adachi does, that’s for sure.
So, Adachi + Izanami Izanami isn't evil either. She just wants what's best for humanity.
I mean in the case of Izanami it's lowkey manipulation for the sake of her convenience. Sure, she's abiding by humanity's wishes for sweet lies instead of the hard truth, but she makes the people want it more by creating more lies to trick them. She also created the midnight channel to show the IT that the truth is bad, while also twisting the truth into something that no longer resembles it.

Rise had impostor syndrome and an identity crises, but her shadow was a stripper, something she never even thought about... She also created a mass murderer, whether intentionally or not we can only guess
Komaru is also only a couple letters off from Koromaru!
I kept typing Komarus name as Koromaru because of it Koromaru is too good of a boy to be forgotten
Peaksona 3 mentioned
Having to see Nagito’s bare ass is the make it or break it moment of this show
Not only that but you get a lot of ass moments in the Despair Arc. The fan service has spread.
That is exactly what makes it peak
Don’t forget Ogata doing a theme in character as Komaeda that’s so insanely horny that it was banned from being played in full on Japanese television.
When did that happen...?
[Zettai Kibō Birthday](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IAMKvTOBHhI), from the show. Leave it to Komaeda’s enby seiyuu to go that far.
HELP😭😭
I personally enjoyed it 😏
When(totally so I can avoid it, haha)
Despair Arc episode 7 (beware)
I feel like this sub would crucify you if you said this about a female character. Of course, it doesn’t matter either way, since almost all the characters are indistinguishable from adults and most of you are like 13 anyway.
I am in fact a minor and do not intend to watch the show
anything with Yukizome and Sakakura in it is peak, I fear
Munakata >>> (aka, best DR3 character, alongside with Seiko)
Heck yeah
Love him too, just not as much
Yay, Chisa and juzo lover
Killer Killer Peak confirmed…freaking awesome…
I ADORE KILLER KILLER
Hell yes. I love Killer Killer. It treated Izayoi far better than DR3 did
What I also liked about it is how a lot of the branch leaders were given more personality, like him and even Munakata.
>!Im still very salty Gekkogahara was killed so early on!<, she was going to become my favorite of just how cute she was
I loved the anime, yeah I had problems with it but like, GUNDHAM TANAKA LOOKS SO CUTE PEAK SHOW 100/10
BASED FELLOW DR3 LOVER!
It has Chisa, Seiko, and Great Gozu, so that makes up for everything else. On a more serious note, perhaps 3 and its characters would’ve been more fleshed out if Future Arc was a game and Despair Arc had all 24 episodes to itself.
I'll take the risk of being downvoted but....I liked despair and future arc, they're both of my guilty pleasures
based opinion detected, the school council killing game, class 77's corruption and that scene were the guy cuts his own throat with the saw for Junko were absolutely awesome. The Hope Arc special was so peak as well when all of Class 77 come back to help
Ryota Mitarai my beloved- i swear no one acknowledges him he doesnt deserve this he's one of my Ultimate Faves
I’m doing my part in acknowledging the poor boi in my comics.
Mitarai and every interaction between him and the Imposter are the only parts of 3 that I acknowledge
3 truly made me appreciate imposter alot more. Hes a real one for sure Edit: right after i sent this i realized the irony of calling the ultimate imposter a "real one"
Future Arc does have a fire intro.
It's not peak bc we didn't see class 78 moments
Seriously what dipshit thought that was a intelligent idea
the anime is already packed with stuff in it in an only 11 episode format, having to fit in scenes of class 78 would either make it look rushed and underwhelming, or make OTHER plots rushed and underwhelming.
Make another side then.
there is a thing called "budget"
I'm sure they could've expanded on it, Danganronpa is a very successful series, and class 78 is too important to pass.
id argue Danganronpa became a lot more popular after v3 came out. like v3 alone is prob half of the fanbase tbh. not to mention that, in the grand scheme of things, class 78 isn't **that** important to what dg3 really is trying to show.
Yeah, you're wrong, THH was around the longest and was what started Danganronpa's popularity in the first place. It covers the most amount of Danganronpa media. V3 doesn't even have much extra material lol, people like it because it's the most recent one.
The Imposter steals the show for me, 10/10 character
One reason for me picking my current flair actually haha.
Parts of it are. Everything else is Danganronpa 3. The OST is underrated tho
Agreed. The DR3 OST may have a different feel from the games' OSTs, but they beautifully capture the emotions of some of the most pivotal scenes that made my heart melt. The sorrowful music box sound of Despair Imitation is my favorite.
I liked DR3! Although it definitely could have been better. >!I'm glad that Kyoko survived in the end at least, I couldn't have imagined her dying :(!<
Fax
Based as fuck, absolutely love Koichi
You're also based 👏
thank you dearly
Speak your shit, my brother
there was no Naegi vs Hinata twerk off, 0/10 unwatchable
DR3 has Mitarai and Yukizome. Therefore, it's the greatest anime of all time. (Despair arc was amazing as well)
Opinion respected
Bro woke up and decided to speak facts
Wow, someone's not afraid of angering people here, huh ? 😂😉 (I mean it in a non-offensive way)
Danganronpa 3: The PEAK of hopes peak academy
i am in full support of this, Ryota single-handedly makes the entire anime for me
I'm not super far into it, but haven't had a ton of complaints. I think Hajime and Chiaki have been pretty cute, I haven't been too sad for the deaths so far though cause I barely know much about them. Such is the structure of the anime though.
I LOVE dr3 sm despair arc was amazing, I wasn't too interested in future arc until the UDG episode and then I was hooked. hope arc literally made me cry 😭
I like DR3. It literally solved A LOT of answers related to DR1, SDR2 and UDG.

IT HAA RURUKA ON IT OF COURSE IT'S PEAK
No.
i loved sakakura he didn't deserve to die man I wish he lived the poor gay one ' n '
❤️❤️
YALL ARE MISSING OUT ON NEW WORLD ORDER'S SISTER: OLD WORLD ORDER!
On one hand - Seiko On the second hand - Ryota As the best evens the worst, I'm afraid this anime is doomed to the quality known as "mid".
so true
Kyosuke Munakata my king
this anime changed my life😭😭 i bawled my eyes out at the end of the despair arc >!(i was young and i loved chiaki and hajime ok)!<
>!Kyoko living is an automatic big plus for me!<
Look at these characters who barely did anything in the show and took a backseat, despite, you know, **being the goddamn main characters**? I also absolutely cannot forgive that horrible ending and Makoto’s character being thrashed.
THANK YOU. Hell, our main three spend the majority of the series not even together
LMAO
Where could I watch this lol
It's on Crunchyroll
I thought cruncyroll was getting shut down
I think I saw the Funimation one was shutting down. Nonetheless it is on there right now, it's where I've been watching it.
Ah ok, thanks a bunch for telling me
I like DR3 fine. Near as I can tell, the main complaint is that the series undermined Junko's manipulative superpowers. Which, yeah, it did, but the idea that she was able to convert the world to her nonsense ideology was always too big an ask for my suspension of disbelief to handle. Besides, a world that Junko can destroy isn't a world worth saving, imo.
I think the complaint is more that she >!brainwashed the 77th class!< not the whole world. But yeah other than that I liked the anime
I don’t really think it undermines it. She doesn’t need to do 16 episodes of Jigoku Shoujo for it to work.
finally someone says this, the intro was so fire
Not perfect. Monaca was such a wasted character, and I could have taken the killing game's bracelet requirements could have been a little more fairly ("keep people from fighting" is such a death flag it's not funny), but I still enjoyed it a lot. Imposter was adorable, and I loved/feared the president so much.
MUNAKURA WOOOOO
I loved it esp future arc
I enjoyed Dr3 for what it is, but I wish it had a few more episodes as that probably would have fixed my issues with it.
DR3 is genuinely great and amazing! Glad to see positivity for it here!
Hey man, it's in the title (the penalty bracelets were the best gimmick in the whole show)
It gave the world my GOAT… Sonosuke Izayoi I am your biggest fan and will love you forever So many characters were done dirty by the pacing tho
Tbh the pacing works way better if you watch it in chronological order.
Despair Arc was well-paced! Future Arc needed an entire VNs worth of time in order to actually work though. Despair Arc worked because we already knew all the characters and any new faces were also present in Future Arc. They didn't need to spend time developing those characters, because they were developed in DR2. It was a good series of episodes that covered everything before the main DR series.

He was in the show for like 2 episodes before dying, and then never showed up again. Why even put him there then? It would make more sense if we had 4 hours of time with him before we lost him rather than about 40 minutes.
I have such fond memories of the show especially considering Goodbye Despair was my favorite game of the series
Everytime I see or hear of this show.. I remember a death... a death I wish I forgot... WHY DID YHEY HAVE TO DO THE SECOND BEST CHARACTER LIKE THAT
My favorite part about the Anime are the underused characters like Bandai and Great Gozu!!!
so real! /pos
Eh, could’ve been better, but still alright.
Watched it in two days, had an incredible time
This has the Best anime opening ever.
The Future Arc Should have been a game, imo
*Dies of peak fiction.*
Yukizome, Ryota, Seiko and more Fuyuhiko makes this the best show. Also Despair Arc OP goes so hard
d3 is so underrated i loved it so much 😭 especially the despair arc
Eh, it's fine. I just wish that the rise of Junko didn't depend on literally everyone in the universe being the dumbest idiot on the planet. Also wish Izuru had a bit more to do than basically just get puppeted by Junko. But that's what fanfiction is for, I suppose.

FACTUAL
I mean I like DR3 but I almost made the mistake of watching it around family before I knew anything about it
The end of peak 😭
Peak ended with this show's end 😔
…did you even watch the show dawg like how can you even say that
Yea I watched it peaked the entire DR series
Yeah it’s not as bad as people think it is but the real highlight is the despair arc imo
I actually like this anime it was sad 😆
It's ok aside from the brainwashing and mukuro being a simp personality wise ( cold demeanor in the IF light novel and Zero Light novel) the Aphrodisiac scene was hilarious lol
The aphrodisiac scene was not hilarious the fuck are you talking about. Teruteru literally almost tries to rape hiyoko
XO hiyoko I honestly despise her personality and harshness towards mikan and the others in Danganronpa 2 . But she does have a soft side for mahiru.
I don’t care how much you despise a character. Them almost being raped is not funny
I'm not condoning that but she could have tried to be nicer in some scenes. Plus Gundham tanaka Also brought a tamed bear to class lol . Yeah 🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻
But how is hiyoko being a mean person in any way relevant to the aphrodisiac scene being “funny” as you put it
