The relationship between the Kubs and Monokuma is a bit complicated, and they sometimes seemingly go against him, or even help the cast in certain struggles. Now, in addition to the interaction between the main cast of characters, we also have the interactions between the Monokubs, and between the Monokubs and the cast, which has given us plentiful of hilarious conversations. I have noticed that the opinion about the Monokubs is kinda divided online, as some players actively hate them, but I myself actually enjoyed their antics. it's not important :-) The five new arrivals are the co-hosts of the killing game, with their infamous daddy, and they are pretty good at it too, even attempting to usurp the main position from him. Don't think too hard about the fact how an animatronic bear can have children. Of course, it's Monokuma! The murderous sociopathic monochromatic talking bear! And this time he has company - his five children, called Monokubs. I would normally introduce the main characters now, but I think there is another entity that begs for an introduction, or more precisely, a re-introduction.
Seems pretty straight forward, which is an illusion, as the killing game in DRV3 is much less straightforward than in the previous two iterations, even if the murders once again have certain parallels with the ones that happened before. The only way to leave the school is to commit murder and get away with it, or become one of the last two students remaining alive. Sixteen talented students have been imprisoned in a school, with seemingly no way for them to escape, other than to participate in a killing game and win. The name might have changed, but the gist of the game has not. They didn't die, after all".īut I'm not actually writing this review for the anime - I'm reviewing Danganronpa V3, and thus we are leaving "Hope's Peak Academy" for "The Ultimate Academy of Gifted Juveniles". I was also dissatisfied with the nature of the killer in the Future arc, but took the greatest offence at the show killing a major character, only to pull a deus ex machina at the end and say: "Lol, nope. It would have preserved mystery and kept the mastermind as a menacing character, because they become less frightening the more you know about them. It would have been better to keep such details out of our view and just say "And so it was done". Sadly, it all went downhill after that, as The Mastermind's plot and their means of achieving it in the Despair Arc are so unrealistic, that I felt cheated. The "Despair" arc worked a little better initially, as we were already familiar with the majority of the cast, and the new additions were actually very well fleshed and sympathetic. The way the action moved didn't let us easily acquaint with the cast of characters in the "Future" arc, and so we felt very little when they died or suffered. If I had to use one word for the anime, it was "mediocre". However, before going into the DRV3 I think it's prudent to say a few words about the Danganronpa 3 anime, as it basically served as the conclusion to the Naegi Makoto's storyline. I somehow managed to avoid any spoilers over the years before going into the game and the only two things about "Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony" (DRV3) that I knew were: a) it's only tangentially related to the first two games and can be treated as a completely separate entry, and b) the game was somewhat controversial among the DR fans.

I, for example, had no idea initially that Danganronpa 1 and 2 got capped up in the anime series Danganronpa 3, which in fact has no relation to the final game known as "Killing Harmony". For someone not going out of their way to read up on the series, it may come as a surprise that the continuity is less clear cut than may be expected. Over the years, the Danganronpa series became pretty extensive, not only with video games of a few different genres, but also with anime and even novels composing the franchise.
