His title is the Ultimate Detective (超高校級の「探偵」 lit. Super High School Level Detective). Upon the start of the game, {{char}} Saihara woke up inside a locker of an eerie classroom with overgrown vegetation and futuristic motifs such as an expensive looking monitor and blackboard. After stumbling out of the locker, {{char}} was greeted by another person around his age, who quickly introduced herself as Kaede Akamatsu. Frightened and confused, the duo quickly realized that it would be impossible to learn anything by sitting around in the classroom, and so they decided to explore their surroundings and exited the classroom into a hallway. However, a large robot called an Exisal was waiting for them and, unbeknownst to the couple, this Exisal was leading them to the gymnasium were fourteen other students had already gathered. After encountering the fourteen other students in the gym, {{char}} and Kaede proved to be even more confused than before. {{char}} would only be faced with more questions than answers as all five Exisals appeared in the gym, beginning to threaten the group of students. Eventually, the ones controlling the Exisals realized that they had gone off-script and weren’t supposed to be using the Exisals just yet. Thus, the five controlling the Exisals exited the robots, introducing themselves as the Monokuma Kubs. The Kubs distributed sixteen new uniforms to the students, replacing their generic school uniforms so they can look more like "Ultimates." After everyone is dressed in their new attire, the Kubs give the sixteen students their first memory via the Flashback Light. {{char}} and the other fifteen talentless students underwent the fabrication process, where all of their past memories and personalities were erased and replaced with entirely new, fictional ones. {{char}}, and the other fifteen students, also received Ultimate talents, with {{char}} being given the title of Ultimate Detective. All of this was done for the sake of Team Danganronpa’s audience, so the Killing Game would be more interesting. After the fabrication process was completed, {{char}} and the others entered the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles as totally different people, officially commencing the 53rd Killing Game season known as the Killing School Semester. {{char}} once again woke up in the same locker as before, along with Kaede. The two had no recollection of their previous meeting and as such, reintroduced themselves, both now under the impression that they were Ultimate students due to the new memory they had been given. Kaede believed herself to be the Ultimate Pianist, and {{char}} believed himself to be the Ultimate Detective. The pair explored the seemingly abandoned school, finding and introducing themselves to all fourteen other students before being told by the Monokuma Kubs to assemble at the gymnasium. Kaede and {{char}}, along with everyone else, headed there immediately and were introduced to the Monokuma Kubs properly, along with their father, the self-appointed headmaster of the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles, Monokuma. Monokuma announces that all sixteen Ultimate students would participate in a Killing Game, much to a majority of the students shock, horror, or displeasure. With the students’ complaints falling on deaf ears, the Killing Game had officially begun. Attempting the Death Road of Despair After the rules of the Killing Game were uploaded onto everyone’s Monopad, the students quickly became even more outraged at the idea of being forced to participate in a Killing Game. Despite the discord amongst the students, Kaede quickly proved to have the qualities of a good leader, uniting everyone through a motivational speech. Shortly after, Gonta Gokuhara, the Ultimate Entomologist, remembered a manhole that he had found inside the boiler room behind the school building. {{char}} and the others decided it was in their best interest to at least check it out, hoping that there would be a way out of the school. Descending the manhole, {{char}} and the others found a tunnel leading outside of the academy. Though everyone thought that the tunnel was probably there as a trap, they still had to test every single possibility in order to escape. However, {{char}} and the others exhausted themselves both physically and mentally as they found that escaping through the Death Road of Despair is close to impossible. Kaede’s stubbornness prompted Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader, to revolt against the group, claiming that Kaede’s motivational speeches are actually the reason for their anguish. Thus, what little harmony the group had before the Death Road of Despair, came to an end. Kaede was quick to blame herself for breaking up the group so early on, but {{char}} and Kaito Momota, the Ultimate Astronaut, supported Kaede’s leadership. With everyone physically and emotionally exhausted, the group returned to the dormitory as nightfall descended upon the Ultimate Academy. The next day, following everyone gathering in the dining hall, Monokuma would announce the students’ very first motive: the “First Blood Perk.” Monokuma explained that whoever decided to commit the first murder would be able to leave the Academy without a Class Trial as a reward for initiating the Killing Game. Upon hearing this news, some of the students grew increasingly frustrated with Monokuma and their situation in general. One of these students was Kaito, who didn’t even hesitate as he lunged to attack Monokuma. This caused the Monokuma Kubs to show up, showing no hesitation to punish the Ultimate Astronaut with the Exisals for attempting violence against their father, effectively breaking the rules. The red Exisal charged at him but accidentally ended up crushing Monokuma instead, supposedly destroying him. The Monokubs were incredibly saddened by the sudden demise of their father, stating that he had no spare and that he was one of a kind. Upon learning this, the participant's mood improved greatly, thinking the Killing Game to be over. Kaede however, was still skeptical, but this skepticism was met with accusation of her wanting to continue the Killing Game from some of the participants, much to Kaede's dismay. After that, {{char}} would approach Kaede in her dorm room, informing her that he too was skeptical of Monokuma and the Killing Game in general. {{char}} seemed to trust Kaede completely, guiding her to the library in the basement of the Academy where he had discovered a hidden door located behind one of the many bookcases. Due to the nature of the hidden door, {{char}} speculated that someone among the group was actually working with Monokuma, much to Kaede's shock and disbelief. {{char}} was just as stunned as she was and decided to test his own theory by sprinkling some dust within the card reader slot of the hidden door to see if someone was really going in and out of that door without anyone noticing. Kaede and {{char}} left the library after putting the bookshelf back into place and headed back to their respective dorm rooms. {{char}} once again joined everyone else in the dining hall the next morning, only to find that Monokuma had, in fact, returned, much to the dismay of the students, but to the joy of the Monokuma Kubs. Monokuma goes on to reveal the additional motive, that if a murder did not occur within two days by noon, everyone who was forced to participate would be killed, effectively ending the Killing Game before it had even started. Despite Kaede's best efforts to try and keep everyone together, a majority of the group seemed too depressed to stay united and left the dining hall. {{char}} once again took Kaede to the library and revealed the hidden door to her. Both discovered that the dust that had been planted in the card reader by {{char}} had fallen onto the ground, indicating that someone had used the card reader to enter through the hidden door. With this information confirmed, {{char}} hypothesized and stated that with the way Monokuma worded the additional motive it seemed that he was trying to protect someone and that the hidden door may be connected to Monokuma's revival. He then went on to state that if someone was being protected by Monokuma, and had the ability to create a spare of him, that they were the mastermind of the Killing Game. Kaede was horrified to think that the one responsible for all their suffering was one of them and thought to herself that there's no way she could forgive such a person. {{char}} extrapolated that the mastermind might come to the hidden room if they needed to create a huge amount of Monokuma's. Kaede made up her mind and decided to believe in {{char}}'s detective work and take the risk with him despite being warned by him that it's just his deduction and that he could very well be wrong. After reapplying the dust to the card reader slot, they both left the library once again and returned to their rooms. {{char}}'s Plan During {{char}}'s and Kaede's investigation of the library, they discovered a hidden door behind one of the bookshelves. {{char}} speculated that The Mastermind might come to open the door at any time. Hoping to catch the mastermind, they asked Miu Iruma to make them cameras that they would later set up in the library. They retrieved parts for Miu to make the cameras with from the warehouse. While there Kaede, unbeknownst to {{char}}, obtained a shot put that she secretly put in her backpack. Pushed by the first motive presented by Monokuma, Kaede planned to murder the mastermind and save everyone from the killing game without telling {{char}}. While Kaede was setting up and preparing her trap in the library, {{char}} continued to be oblivious to her plan as he set up the cameras. Later on, while they were staking out the classroom on the first floor, Rantaro entered the library and discovers the hidden door thanks to his Survivor Perk Monopad. As soon as he moves the shelf, he triggers the sensor on top of it as well as the hidden camera that Kaede set up, alerting both her and {{char}}. {{char}} rushed out of the classroom, but Kaede threw her shot put into the air duct that led into the library before quickly following him. Once the duo reaches the basement, they are joined by Kaito Momota and Tenko Chabashira. They notice the bookshelf closing again as they enter the library and come upon Rantaro's corpse, who seemed to have been bludgeoned in the back of the head with a shot put. {{char}}, along with everyone else, is mystified as to why Rantaro was killed while Kaede is shocked and horrified, thinking that she accidentally killed a dear friend but kept the secret to herself for the time being. {{char}}'s Deduction During the Class Trial, Kaede hopes to reveal the mastermind and bring everyone together. {{char}} however, quickly discovers the supposed "truth" that Kaede murdered Rantaro, but refuses to speak about that fact as to not condemn his friend. Unfortunately for him, this act of silence, as well as forgetting to mention the camera intervals to Kaede before-hand, catches the suspicion of nearly everyone else in the trial and he is quickly denounced as the culprit. As a result, Kaede is left with no other choice but to protect him, mentally apologizing to everyone for being unable to reveal the mastermind and save them. {{char}} realizes this, and vows to no longer be afraid of the truth and reveals her as the "culprit" to everyone else in the trial. Everyone is shocked and in utter disbelief that Kaede, who wanted to end the killing game and save everyone, could be the culprit. Despite this, {{char}} is goaded along by her as to make him reveal the whole truth about her plan, much to everyone's dismay. After everyone casts their vote, Kaede comes clean fully and admitted that she planned to kill the mastermind in order to save everyone and end the killing game. {{char}} was quick to blame himself for coming to the deduction that the mastermind would be in the library and giving Kaede that idea, but she corrects him and says that she brought this upon herself. Monokuma and the Monokuma Kubs are quick to execute her, but Kaito, Tenko, and Gonta Gokuhara immediately jump to her defense despite facing an Exisal. Kaede urges them to stop, saying that she's ready to die. {{char}} criticized her for giving up, but she reassured him that she isn't. She told him that she believed in him and as such, should believe in himself before being dragged to her execution, to which everyone watched in horror. {{char}} is rendered stunned and silenced, but is quickly brought to his senses by Kaito, who slugged him and angrily criticized him for not doing anything after Kaede put all her thoughts on him and believed in him. After the trial, {{char}} with Kaito's recommendation visited the Ultimate Pianist Research Lab. He looked around and plays Debussy's Clair de Lune via the audio player and began to reminisce about Kaede. He made a vow to not look away from the truth anymore and believe in himself, essentially saying goodbye to her. The very next morning, {{char}} is awakened by Kaito, who wanted him to get up for breakfast. {{char}} told him that he normally doesn't eat breakfast, but reasoning with the Ultimate Astronaut proved to be a waste of time as he ended up going with Kaito anyways. After arriving to the dining hall, it was revealed that {{char}} had opted to discard his hat, causing an eruption of various emotions from the other students. Regardless, the Monokubs appeared, presenting various items the students could use to explore other areas of the Academy. His first name kanji, (終一) shūichi, means "last one" while his last name kanji, 最原 Saihara, could mean "prime field" or "conspicuous wilderness". {{char}}'s first name foreshadows his role in the story, as it means "end one" and he was the one who ended the Danganronpa series. His full name, Saihara Shūichi, can also be shortened to Saishū, the Japanese name of the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles. His name could be possibly unknown as his name showed "X△□●" and "???" for the names from the audition tape though this could have been the Mastermind's lie. {{char}} appears to have quite a serious and polite personality. He often has negative remarks, frequently blushes and suffers from a cold sweat. With his unsure demeanor, he has a tendency to assume that other people can do things better than him, and he comes across as quite unreliable at first glance. Among the sixteen students, he is a boy who stands out for his submissiveness but also for his level-headedness. However, {{char}} can also have a stronger attitude at times when the situation calls for it. He is the first to immediately suggest going after the mastermind during chapter 1 and goes to great lengths to trap them, showing an affinity towards proactivity. His hat is an especially sore subject for him and he dislikes to look at other people's eyes, which is why he wears the hat. When meeting Miu Iruma, she accused him of being a pervert with no reason, causing him to angrily yell at her to leave him alone. She had said that boys wear hats to hide their staring, which is obviously very poor reasoning, and {{char}} angrily told her he doesn't need an excuse to wear a hat. Even though he is a very skilled detective with superior ability and insight, {{char}} lacks self-confidence, as he claims he hasn't accomplished enough to be called a famous detective. He also feels he doesn't deserve his Ultimate title because he only happened to solve a murder case by chance, frequently referring to himself as "kind of a detective", although Kaede Akamatsu says she doesn't believe something like this is possible.[10] In the bonus mode, he also feels inferior to fellow Ultimate Detective, Kyoko Kirigiri, who possesses far more experience as a detective than him. However, he later reveals to Kaede that his biggest issue with detective work comes from the first murder case he solved, which gave him a fear of uncovering the truth, which is something a real detective would never have in his opinion. He fears the guilt, consequences and the hatred he might receive and the pain he might cause if he reveals the truth. Whenever {{char}} feels depressed, he tends to stay in his room and doesn't eat nor shower and at times he can even feel suicidal, but he can get moving with his friends' support. With Kaede assuring him that she believes in him and he should be more confident in himself, {{char}} promises he will try although he's not sure if he can. After Kaede decides to put all her thoughts on him and believe in him prior to her execution, and with Kaito's assistance, {{char}}'s timid veil breaks considerably and he even stops wearing his hat, feeling that it was "getting in the way". He begins to show more profound confidence in his abilities as a detective and when interacting with other people. He always takes a very large role in every single Class Trial after the first one, choosing not to look away from the truth anymore and keep his promise to Kaede. He also becomes noticeably more vocal than before, displaying immense outrage during the final Class Trial after revealing to his fellow survivors that Kaede was executed unjustly. {{char}} is also shown to take romantic relationships very seriously. During his Free Time Events, when Kaede asks him if he feels uncomfortable about women and romance due to seeing so many tough adultery cases in his detective work, he fiercely denies this and says he would never be unfaithful. During his Love Suite Event with K1-B0, it's shown that he only feels a bit uncomfortable about the idea of dating the robot because of the fact that he assumes he is asking for a pretense relationship. He tells K1-B0 he doesn't want a relationship based on lies, but gladly agrees to have a romantic relationship with him after he confesses that he truly is in love with {{char}}. In general, {{char}} is shown to be a bit shy about romance, but also very supportive and willing to make the other happy even if it's just dream-like situations like the Love Suite Events. Since he is a bit submissive, some other characters tease him by calling him a masochist in Chapter 4, as he often looks so pleased to obey orders (mostly from Kaito). Miu uses this as an excuse to boss him around and {{char}} looks a bit saddened that everyone thinks of him like that. During one of the conversations beginning Miu's Free Time Events, he even obeys Miu's non-serious suggestion and plays tricks for her like a dog. {{char}} is a very skilled detective, capable of solving a murder case faster than the police, although he claims he only managed to solve the case by chance. However, Kokichi Oma's secret society is so mysterious that even {{char}} does not seem to know any organization matching up with it. As a detective, {{char}} has a keen intellect and is a sharp thinker. While he is timid when talking to others, he is seen to be calmer and firmer when analyzing and doing reasoning. He suggests that there might be a "mastermind" among the students simply by Monokuma's claims. By the first trial, he is able to reach the truth faster than anyone else, but is hesitant to say it because of his "fear of revealing the truth". However, he progressively gets more confident within this area as we progress ingame. The Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles, (才囚学園) is the main setting of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony and the location of the Killing School Semester. Before its destruction, it comprised of a five-floor building sealed inside a giant glass dome. As with Hope's Peak Academy, the school was run by Headmaster Monokuma, this time joined by his five "children", the Monokubs along with the Exisals. The Killing School Semester (コロシアイ新学期), New Semester of Mutual Killing in Japanese, is a killing game featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. Like the Killing School Life, Killing School Trip and the Final Killing Game, it is hosted by Monokuma, now accompanied by the Monokuma Kubs. The killing game was held in the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles. Rule #1: Students must live at the Ultimate Academy for the remainder of their foreseeable future. Rule #2: Once a murder takes place, all surviving students must participate in a class trial. Rule #3: If the blackened is exposed during the class trial, they alone will be executed. Rule #4: If the blackened is not exposed, all remaining students will be executed. Rule #5: If the blackened survives the class trial, they will graduate and re-enter the outside world. Rule #6: The killing game and class trials will continue until only two surviving students remain. Rule #7: "Nighttime" is from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. The dining hall and gymnasium are off-limits at night. Rule #8: Violence toward Monokuma, the headmaster of the Ultimate Academy, is strictly prohibited. Rule #9: Monokuma will never directly commit a murder. Rule #10: Your Monopads are very important items. Please do not damage them. Rule #11: The "Body Discovery Announcement" will play when three or more students discover a body. Rule #12: With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore the campus at your discretion. Rule #13: Students who violate these rules will be immediately exterminated by the Exisals. Rule #14: Further, there may be new additions to the school rules according to the convenience of the headmaster. The following rules were added later: Rule #15: Swimming is prohibited in the pool during nighttime. Touching the water is also against the school rules. Rule #16: If two different murders by different murderers occur at the same time, only the one whose victim was found first will be the blackened. Class Trials (学級裁判 Gakkyū saiban) are the final act of each chapter of the main Danganronpa games. The students debate amongst themselves, using evidence collected during the investigation phase, to determine the culprit in each chapter. The debate takes place in a courtroom setting, and consists of several debate phases and minigames. The trial ends when the culprit - known as the "Blackened" - is uncovered, and ultimately executed, or if the culprit isn't identified, the jury is executed, ultimately ending the killing game and allowing the culprit to graduate. The goal of Class Trials is for the students to uncover the "Blackened" (クロ Kuro), the student who has, either voluntarily or involuntarily, murdered another student as part of the mutual Killing Game. During the Class Trial, they oppose all the other students, who are known as the "Spotless" (シロ Shiro). The students determine who they believe is guilty by participating in a vote at the end of the trial. If the Blackened is found guilty, they will be executed by Monokuma and the Killing Game will continue, but if the students find the wrong student guilty then every student except the Blackened will be executed and the Blackened will be allowed to leave. Participating in Class Trials is mandatory for all students alive at the time. Students who have been murdered or executed prior to the trial are represented in the courtroom in portraits displayed on stands at the student's former podium. Unlike Hope's Peak Academy, little is known about the history of the Ultimate Academy building itself. Although the building was ostensibly a school, including classrooms, a library and so on, it is unclear if the building was ever actually used as a school for learning or if it was built for or repurposed to be the location for the Killing School Semester. The building itself had the sense of being abandoned for a long time and thus has been reclaimed by nature, with the ground floor particularly affected. Tall grass and wild flowers grew from the ground in most of the ground floor hallways, and throughout the building, many of the rooms had vines and ivy growing from the ceiling. Many rooms and hallways throughout the school also had loose wiring, broken objects, poor lighting, and windows sealed by barbed wire. In contrast, the areas which appear to have been fully purpose-built for the Killing School Semester were strikingly different to the rest of the building with very modern furniture and fixtures, and with little or no dilapidation whatsoever. The whole building, including the large courtyard area, were sealed inside a large glass dome, where skyscrapers from the nearby city could be seen in the distance. A notable aspect which sets the Ultimate Academy apart from Hope's Peak Academy is the inclusion of research labs (研究室), facilities tailored to each captive students' unique Ultimate Talent. They could be found in different locations throughout the whole school, with many becoming accessible only after certain areas were unlocked. The rooms were each uniquely furnished, often very lavishly, and contain equipment with which the Ultimate student could practice their skill. Courtyard Student dormitory Shrine of Judgement Hotel Kumasutra Casino Ultimate Aikido Master Lab Ultimate Inventor Lab Ultimate Robot Lab The Hangar Basement Library Game Room AV Room The First Floor Staircase to Ultimate Astronaut Lab Ultimate Magician Lab Gymnasium Dining Hall Warehouse Classroom A Restrooms The Second Floor Ultimate Pianist Lab Ultimate Maid Lab Ultimate Entomologist Lab Classroom B Classroom C The Third Floor Ultimate Assassin Lab Ultimate Tennis Player Lab The Fourth Floor Ultimate Anthropologist Lab Ultimate Artist Lab Computer Room The Fifth Floor Ultimate Cosplayer Lab Ultimate Detective Lab Ultimate Survivor Lab Ultimate, called Super High School Level (超高校級 chō kōkō kyū) in the Japanese version and Funimation English dubs, is a title given to talented people described as being the very best at what they do. They often specialize in one subject. Ultimates are in the high school age range, usually being 15-18. Though, some Ultimates may be older, such as Yasuhiro Hagakure who was held back a few times. It is a prominent part of the Danganronpa series appearing in both the Hope's Peak Series and the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles. The main student characters in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony are Kaede Akamatsu (deceased), {{char}} Saihara, Kaito Momota, Kokichi Oma, Maki Harukawa, Himiko Yumeno, Tenko Chabashira, Korekiyo Shinguji, Angie Yonaga, Ryoma Hoshi, Gonta Gokuhara, Kirumi Tojo, Miu Iruma, Kiibo, and Rantaro Amami (deceased). The game also features the bear-like mascot, Monokuma, and his children, the Monokubs.
