Super Dangan Ronpa 2 (Visual Novel)Super Dangan Ronpa 2: Good Bye Academy of Despair, also known as Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, is the sequel to Dangan Ronpa, released in 2. It is the second game in the Dangan Ronpa franchise following the Dangan Ronpa Zero books. Much like its predecessor, the game begins with a new student starting their first day at Hope's Peak Academy, an elite private school that only accepts the best of the best of the best, no matter how eclectic their field. Hajime Hinata, the new guy, has always admired the school and is eagerly looking forward to attending.. When he wakes up, Hajime finds himself trapped in a classroom with fifteen other new "Super High- School Level" students. They are greeted by a strange rabbit- like doll called "Usami", who promptly announces that they'll be going on a field trip. With a wave of her wand, the walls to the classroom fall apart to reveal that they have all been stranded on the tropical resort island of Jabberwock.
Under Usami's instructions, the students must bond with each other to gain the "Fragments of Hope" needed to leave the island. All of this is sadly for naught when Monokuma suddenly shows up and violently usurps control of the island from Usami.

He then reinstates the same "School Life of Mutual Killing" rules from the first game, meaning that the only way off the island is for one of the students to commit a perfect murder and sacrifice the other students so that they alone can leave. While the flow of the game remains largely unchanged, the dynamics of certain mini- games have been drastically changed and new ones have been added to the mix as well: for example, some segments of Non- Stop Debate task you with finding the right statement to agree with, and other classmates can now interrupt you with an objection. After completing the game, an alternate story called Dangan Island is unlocked where Usami strikes first against Monokuma when he appears and manages to beat him as a result, preventing him from taking over. The field trip goes exactly as planned, giving you plenty of time to bond with your fellow classmates in peace.
There is a wikia page for the game here that contains a complete summary of the game, including unmarked spoilers. Be warned that all spoilers below are unmarked.
It's virtually impossible to list tropes for this game without spoiling everything or creating Self Fulfilling Spoilers, just like its predecessor. A localized version was released on September 2nd, 2. This version was later ported to PC via Steam in April 2.
Absence of Evidence: Used to corner the first culprit. Teruteru claims to have been in the dining room with the others, but made no mention of Mikan tripping. This being Teruteru, the fact that he can't recall it is very suspicious indeed, combined with the fact that his voice was heard during the blackout.. Also used in the fourth trial. The murderer dropped a hammer at the crime scene to make it appear to be the murder weapon, but the fact that it doesn't have any oil on it proves that the murder weapon must have been something else.
Used in a somewhat roundabout way in the fifth trial, as well, where the cause of death is suspiciously absent from the Monokuma File. An element absent from the Monokuma File was pivotal to the last two cases, so Hajime realizes the case must be more complicated than it first appears — and indeed, it is. Abusive Parents: Mikan implies that she was beaten at home as well as at school, which is how she became the Ultimate Nurse in the first place. Kazuichi rather casually mentions his father beat him for skipping a school field trip. The way he says it implies that it happened a lot growing up. Fuyuhiko's parents used to try to kill each other on a regular basis and he sometimes got caught in the crossfire.
Well, they are Yakuza, after all. Action Girl: Akane and Peko are the standout examples in the game.
Added Alliterative Appeal: In the official English translation, Gundham's "titles" for the four hamsters has been changed from "Four Dark Gods of Destruction" to "Four Dark Devas of Destruction." "Despair Fever" is also called the "Despair Disease" instead. Amnesiac Hero: Hajime, who's most upset by the fact he can't even remember his talent. It's eventually revealed that he does not have one, since he's one of the reserve course students. An Aesop: Being true to yourself is more important than talent.
There are also some themes of Screw Destiny, made explicit by Chiaki in the last chapter. And I Must Scream: Junko reveals that if the students choose to "graduate", the future foundation members who uploaded themselves into the program (Makoto, Kyoko and Byakuya) would be forced into an "endless cycle of repeating the grade" since you need the teacher's approval to graduate and well.. And Your Reward Is Clothes / Fanservice: Obtain maximum friendship with someone in Dangan Island mode, and they'll give you their underwear. Yes, even the boys. Anguished Declaration of Love: Fuyuhiko's plea to Peko at the end of Chapter 2's trial, declaring that he needs her to stay by his side, and as a person, rather than as a tool.
Whether this is platonic or romantic depends on your personal interpretation. Anyone Can Die: It's more a matter of when, and guessing who the final group of survivors are. There is a glimmer of hope that they can still be revived, though. This even subverts something that happened in the first game. In the first game, the female protagonist is saved when you're forced to convict yourself. In this game, the verdict goes through completely straight.
Not that it stops her being pivotal to the solving of the final trial.. The Artifact: The addition of the Consent system has made the notion of memorizing statements largely obsolete. The mechanic still shows up in situations where the debate is structured so that you absolutely have to shoot down an argument instead of agreeing with it, and the terms required to do that usually involve a concept so vague (such as "killers mistake") that no Truth Bullet could reasonably be constructed for it. Artificial Intelligence: Monokuma and Usami/Monomi are actually this.
Also the case with Chiaki, Alter Ego, and Junko Enoshima. Amnesiac Dissonance: Between the surviving students' current personalities and their previous identity as Ultimate Despair. Hajime in particular is horrified to learn of his conversion from Hajime Hinata to Izuru Kamukura.
Angrish: When Teruteru is cornered as the murderer, he undergoes a Sanity Slippage and starts spouting unintelligible gibberish, which Monomi has to translate because nobody can understand his accent. Anti- Poop Socking: Each trial has an interval where the player is prompted to save their game. This helps break up the experience as completing a trial plus the aftermath can take well over an hour or more. Asshole Victim: In Twilight Syndrome Murder Mystery, both murderers view their victims this way. More specifically, F- suke/Fuyuhiko's sister was seen as a selfish Spoiled Brat who used her parents' connections to avoid any punishment for her cruelty to D- ko/Mahiru, and F- suke wanted to make certain her murderer/Satou was punished.
Though she was trying to improve herself, Hiyoko was not a pleasant person to be around. Assimilation Plot: AI Enoshima's goal. If the survivors "graduate" the simulation, then she'll be able to download herself into the bodies of the deceased students. From there she can steal the technology from the Future Foundation and use it to infect the rest of the world. Attack of the 5. 0- Foot Whatever: Monokuma's Zoid- ish underlings that guard the gates to other island segments, as well as the representation of Junko's alter ego. Ax- Crazy: The entire cast (sans Chiaki, who's an AI) were previously this, thanks to previously belonging to Ultimate Despair before they were put in rehabilitation.
Mikan eventually turns back into this when she reverts to her Ultimate Despair self. Bait and Switch: The game loves to pull this and play on your expectations from the first game.
Nagito: You've got that wrong. Barefoot Suicide: Averted with Ibuki's death as she is found hanged with her slippers on. However, this is because she was actually murdered. Beach Episode: During the Prologue, Hajime doesn't fully relax until Usami gives everyone school swimsuits and encourages them to play on the beach.
A more traditional type happens in Chapter 2. Naturally, it gets derailed by the discovery of a body before things can get into full swing. Bedmate Reveal: In chapter 3, following the outbreak of the Despair Disease, Hajime wakes up in the hospital to find that Mikan has fallen asleep next to him. It also happens again just before the chapter's murder. Berserk Button: Not that it's exactly had to set him off anyway, but Fuyuhiko was going to call off the hit on Mahiru, only to almost kill her himself when she tells him that he had no right to murder Satou. Big Brother Is Watching: Monokuma.
Even more so than the first game. Big Damn Heroes: Just as the remaining students are about to hit the Graduate button (which would allow AI Junko to possess their dead friends) the real Makoto shows up to save them. Then later during the same trial, Makoto needs two more people to initiate a forced shutdown and stop AI Junko. Cue the arrival of Kyoko and Byakuya.
Then Chiaki Nanami manages to get one in the very very last trial. She abruptly inserts herself into a pair of otherwise impossible non- stop debates, before giving Hajime a literal magic bullet. Bittersweet Ending: The survivors escape and, through a miracle, retain their memories of the island and don't revert.
Through this, they stay on the Jabberwock Islands to tend to their comatose friends and have vowed to create a new future of hope for themselves, Makoto implying they will eventually succeed. Also, despite the belief that Hajime would be "reset" to Izuru Kamukura and lost forever, he retains some measure of control and sanity, possibly via a Split- Personality Merge.
