The world was once led to destruction due to the worst, most hopeless incident ever in the history of humanity, caused by super high-school level despair.

In order to save this world filled with despair, the Future Agency was established. Makoto Naegi and the rest of 78th Class, who defeated Junko Enoshima, are now a part of this agency. Although working to reconstruct the world, Naegi is accused of the treacherous crime of covering for the ‘Remnants of Despair.’

All the members of the Future Agency come together to decide Naegi’s punishment, but are confined by Monokuma and thrust into a ‘Final Koroshiai (killing game).’ They are administered with a sleeping drug through a strange bangle at a set time and told that a traitor is coming to murder them - all they can do to stay alive is find the traitor and kill them first.

Makoto Naegi

Voice Actor: Megumi Ogata

Naegi was able to enter Kibougamine Gakuen and the 78th class precisely because of his luck - he’s even known as the Ultimate Lucky Student. However, he’s not all that lucky if his involvement in the Koroshiai is anything to go by. A normal boy with no distinguishing traits and the usual hobbies. He’s a pacifist and a kind, warm-hearted boy. Although modest, he’s somewhat unreliable.

Kyouko Kirigiri

Voice Actor: Yoko Hikasa

Naegi’s classmate. One of the two heroines in the tale, she is mysterious, rarely talking about herself. She is known as the Ultimate ??? with no one knowing what her ability actually is. A very calm character, she has a strong mentality and is able to take action very quickly, but doesn’t show her emotions easily. She also has good insight and is very intelligent.

Aoi Asahina

Voice Actor: Chiwa Saitou

Known as the Ultimate Swimming Pro, a member of the 78th class. Although her special skill is swimming, she actually likes sports in general, and is in a total of six sports-related clubs. She has tanned skin because she plays a lot of sports outside in the sun. With her positive personality, she can easily influence the mood of the group. She’s very innocent and finds it hard to respond to dirty jokes.

Yasuhiro Hagakure

Voice Actor: Masaya Matsukaze

Known as the Ultimate Clairvoyant in the 78th class, his predictions is 20-30% accurate, and a few of his customers are famous people. According to him, the reason why his predictions aren’t 100% correct is because if they were, they would no longer be predictions but a superpower. Although he is a high school student, he repeated his year for 3 years, so he is actually over 20.

Monokuma

Voice Actor: TARAKO

He is the leader and creator of the killing game, Koroshiai. He’s a walking, talking stuffed bear with half-white, half-black colouring, and can often be heard laughing cruelly. However, after a bomb is planted in him and he explodes, a spare Monokuma appears, so it seems that he’s mass-produced.
