After ranking each Danganronpa game’s culprits by how close they were to getting away with it, I decided to consolidate the data I collected to compare the culprits between games and determine which Danganronpa entry has the “best” culprits. I also revisit the hypothetical best & worst casts and give out some very (un)serious awards to the culprits.
The format of this video is similar to a previous video I made where I determined which Danganronpa cast was the best at solving class trials, which I’d recommend watching first if you haven’t already:

14:31 reactionary doesn't mean reactive, it means fascist
Okay so a scenario I'm questioning is if Nagito enacted his plan but his target is Makoto, who's luck is winning or will this create a luck paradox? Think about it Nagito's guarantees his target is going to kill him however Makoto's luck makes it so he would not be the culprit, so who's winning in the end? (no Makoto escaping the execution doesn't count)
there's no way any culprit is getting through Shuichi AND Kyoko at the same time, they would have to kill one or both of them LMAO
Makes me wonder about how badly the victims fell into the culprits traps…
Cause while not as exciting it's a different topic to look into
only thing i’d disagree with is while i might be wrong and your reasons for suspecting fuyuhiko of being a killer in 2×2 are valid, i genuinely can’t see a world where he’d be a culprit even with the capacity to do so, akane is imo the most likely out of the ones you picked but great video overall i gotta follow for the work you put into this
i think it says a lot about gundhams ability that he was almost able to edge out the guy who was pretty much incapable of failing his own murder plan due to superpowers
36:45 I think that the reason he won is because V3 completely dropped the ball on tackling the topic of sibling abuse
To be honest I understand Celeste’s execution score being high. She executed her idea very well. The idea was just not very good
I love these videos! Analysis of stuff like this is so cool
its so funny to watch you shit on kiyo constantly for killing tenko
I love how all 3 case 3 killers are in the best possible cast with a forced 5 culprits and that means 9 people will die before case 4 even starts ✌️
I personally would love two things.
1 – A little summery of each trial form each game. As a person who just does not have the time to play the games (and sucks at this type of game), I would love to watch the ins and out of each case.
2 – A almost tier list of the characters as were they would slot against each other. i know this would be highly personalised but it would be interesting to hear your opinions.
I actually think Mondo would be a great culprit to be in the worst cast, cuz he did actually play it pretty cool for most of the trial. It wasn't until he slipped up on the color of the track suit that he started to falter, something that other members of the worst cast might not catch. Granted, he also didn't even try to get away with his murder and the only reason the answer wasn't obviously him from the start is because of Byakuya, but let's pretend that he did actually try.
We all agree that thh has the worst culprits
EVERYONE SHUT UP. MY EXTREMELY NICHE SHOW IS ON.
The closest bet for any culprit beating the best cast is Kokichi and Nagito doing a double murder suicide thing or at least cooperating with each other to frame Nagito's suicide/accidental murder by someone like Chiaki/Kyoko on Kokichi as the mastermind. Also, I would love to see a Danganronpa game with the all-star cast from the first three. I think it would be glorious.
I'm sorry but seeing every main antagonist plans being in the "masterplanner" tier and then there's also just Gundham in the tier is hilarious. He's truly the goat
I love the awards part so much lmaoo😭😭😭😭
I am a huge Mikan defender. Her trial is HARD, and despite her making a few mistakes in the murder execution and evidence removal, she got pretty unlucky that Nagito just divined this was a killing out of despair and not hope and thus he decided to just fully team up against her and not help like he did with the other culprits. I think if you put her in different circumstances and you have this all star cast of characters, she can fly under the radar and get a win as a blackened
38:37 What about something like Sonya/Hiyoko killing in self-defense, handling it really badly, then commiting suicide as the 3rd case? It does make them plausible candidates while also keeping the "double murder" gimmick as well.
37:06 Thank you for remembering this, Mikan is basically another victim considering the circumstances (even worse with DR3 her becoming evil wasn't even her own fault.)
(Haha… remember)
Nagito and Kokichi have the advantage of being suspicious for the whole game. This sounds weird but since they're suspicious in all the other trials, the cast will be more inclined to let some suspicious aspects go when they actually are the blackened. Their planning and understanding of evidence is nearly unmatched and if Nagito used his luck to kill someone else (which probably wouldn't happen due to plot reasons), it would be nearly impossible to actually prove it was him. This is less applicable for Kokichi but that's mainly because he goes out of his way to try to prove that he's the mastermind
NEW ULTIMATE ANALYSIS LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
do you have a top 5 best crashouts? despite having watched all these videos, i might binge the series again on the PS4 im getting for my birthday since all 3 games go cheap fairly often….cant get 2×2 since its PS5 only, but yknow
I would put Nagito on the "most likely class to get wiped out" because despite his high score when participating as a spotless student he would in practice probably get everyone killed by cooperating with a killer and giving them a sick murder plan. The only reason we didn't see this happen in dr2 was him not getting the chance after chapter 1. In chapter 2 he was tied up the whole time, in chapter 3 he was hospitalized, in chapter 4 he didn't want to help because he'd just learned about the remnants of despair, and chapter 5 is chapter 5.
i just imagine celeste bashing her head against a wall while babysitting 15 morons.
Okayyyyyyy… thoughts on some of those awards:
Biggest surprise: I'd argue Hina should have gotten this one, but Gundham was a fine choice too. I would have just chosen Hina because before and even after the trial, everyone just kinda saw Hina as stupid. Therefore, her making a pretty good plan is more impressive to me, even if Sakura did a lot of it already. Gundham, on the other hand, while definitely having a more impressive murder scheme, could have already been seen as being rather smart, depending on how you judged him and how he talked. Overall, this one just depends on whether you see "stupid doing pretty good" or "probably smart being ingenious" as more surprising. I'd go for Hina, but I'm not mad either way.
Least sympathetic: Okay, I am more mad at this one. In my opinion, this should have clearly gone to Celestia, and it comes down to how I view sympathy. Both Tsumugi and Kiyo had some level of delusion to hide behind when justifying their murders, with Kiyo thinking he was killing for his sister and Tsumugi only thinking about making the show run smoothly and being able to think that Kaede basically killed Rantaro anyway. Celestia, on the other hand, had to face justifying her murder to herself head-on and acknowledge they were purely selfish. She did them purely for the fact she couldn't stand being stagnant with bozos surrounding her anymore, purely so that she could get out of this place. And while the school was specifically designed to get them to kill each other, in her head, she still was likely only justifying it by weighing her own desire to escape greater than the desire of those around her to live. Therefore, to summarize, it isn't the amount of killing that makes someone less sympathetic to me, it's the idea that when deciding to murder, did they fully consider all the harm that murder is, and then still decide to go through with it anyway for their own selfish gain? Tsumugi wasn't thinking about the horribleness of taking a life, she just was making the show run smoother and how Rantaro was pretty much dead anyways. Kiyo wasn't thinking about the horribleness of taking a life, he was just thinking about getting friends for this sister and how awesome his see-saw effect idea was. So because Celestia had no layers to hide behind when making her decision to kill, she is the least sympathetic to me. This also means I would have rated Sayaka pretty high on the unsympathetic scale, but she gets the excuse that the murder game was new at the time and the motive videos also had very little time to simmer.
Most sympathetic: This one just pisses me off, because Kaede is not sympathetic to me in the slightest. Like half the other students already had a plan to fight against a mass-monokuma invasion, in a situation like the one they were in, you have to call out the mastermind and stand with your fellow students. You are ultimates, presumably they can't just get another set at the grocery store. The general point here is that being a renegade when there is already a plan of collective action being put forth is just pure foolishness. Kaede was an idiot in doing her plan. Even if the mastermind was going to go through the library, why not just catch them there and apprehend them? If you think about her plan for more than two minutes it just because utterly indefensible. I'd love to view her killing as an undue tragedy, but the fact of the matter is that she just didn't need to do it, and for her idiocy, I cannot find sympathy. She went against the plan of her fellow students, behind their backs, and failed because of it. Absolute loser shit. I would have given this to Gundham probably, because it was very clear that things were NOT going to get better, and hunger can do horrible things to a person's thought psyche. A close second is Kaito, for trying to use his to actually stop the killing game in a tangible, realistic way (as opposed to Kaede's long shot). All in all Kaede's killing was entirely unnecessarily and poorly thought out, so I cannot feel for her because I know she is smarter than that nonsense.
Shot in the dark crack theory. Sonia dies as a victim, sends Kazuichi into a despair-like state, and becomes susceptible to a motive, leading him to kill and in a shockingly crafty and convoluted way. He doesn't get a lot of credit for his smarts, but he creating mini Nekomaru is genuinely an insanely genius accomplishment. I could see him being a sleeper genius culprit, as long aa something were to push him over the line.
Lowkey just really want my boy to rise in the rankings with 2×2
34:06 Bro you're just gifting Korekiyo free awards at this point lmao
Congratulations Kiyo for almost getting every "bad" award in this video
Can't wait to see how 2×2 changes things
15:59 "Post character development fuyuhiko" IM DYING 😭😭😭✌️✌️✌️
Ngl in this Hypothetical Best Cast Kiyo might actually be scarier at getting away with his murder considering all the female casts (including Chihiro who Kiyo could mistake as a girl) are what he would consider as "worthy for his sister"
Unlike in V3 this time there is a chance he might cover up his plan well to try and get the rest of them all executed. And if his victim of choice is Kyoko and/or Mikan it would also really benefit him in the trial.
Lowkey Fuyuhiko honorable mention for worst crash out
I think Touko without Byakuya can become helpful to the worst cast, there's also a lot of supporting people for character development.
Man Kio really dragged the team down
There's something fitting about kiyo being the ultimate anthropologist while anthropology is the degree with the highest rate of unemployment, like yeah, that's probably the least employable guy of all time… Gives a bad rap to us anthropologists tho 😔
