12. Bastianna Galanos, Ultimate Nun [CH5, RyanAndrews]:

I wasn't sure how to really feel about Bastianna, she seemed like a normal nun at the start but Norihito angered her once and she turned into what you would think of them in a porno. It was sad to find out that Bastianna volunteered to die in exchange for Ammon fleeing the facility & returning to Egypt, but I think it was fitting with the way Ben was playing her.

11. Takeko Yutani, Ultimate Naginata Practitioner [16, Female, ccwagu]:

I'm going to be honest with you, CC wasn't active enough to develop Takeko's true character the whole way through. My favorite moment from her would probably have to be during the third motive when Norihito was made to be in love with her. She invited him into her room and told a bit about her sister who passed away, thought that was sweet & gave us a peek into her backstory.

10. Todashi Shirane, Ultimate Manipulator [CH2, RyanAndrews]:

Most definitely my favorite character of Ben's this season, Todashi developed his public persona as "Tomomi" until second trial when he was outed for murdering Jiho while handcuifed to Sayuri, threatening her to help him. He wasn't going down without a fight and I was living! Fantastic work!

9. Wolfgang Backinblack, Ultimate Paladin [CH3, AintItFun]:

Wolfgang was one of the original people who wanted to protect himself and warned everyone the consequences of feeding into Monokuma's game. Personally loved the fights between him & Norihito, they hated each other with an absolutely passion! I wasn't there for his trial & didn't really read over his execution, oops.

8. Ammon Menes, Ultimate Pharaoh [CH5, bigdizzleyomama]:

I was glad to see you taking on a diverse character like this who couldn't hear, Jordan. You don't see characters like this everyday in the Danganronpa universe, because people might be scared of offending a certain group of people. I think you did alright though, he was tired of everyone's bullshit by the time he killed & that's completely understandable! My only question now is, whose ruling Egypt?

7. Sayuri Nakagawa, Ultimate Legacy [17, Female, z3ro]:

This girl was a fucking handful, she had so many mental breakdowns and almost risked her life to save Takeko when they busted through the gym doors after ten o'clock at night. I didn't mind her talent at all, thought it was interesting to see someone who had past ancestors attend Hope's Peak as well. I've never seen you do any bad characters before, Shikuyo. Well done!

6. Zenzo Hatakeyama, Ultimate Soteriologist [18, Male, Absol}:

He killed someone who wouldn't hurt a fly and got away with it because Norihito killed before him, better start praying for forgiveness & salvation from the lord, because you'll need it! In all seriousness, Zenzo was unique to watch and if Absol had stayed for final trial I wouldn't be surprised if he originally sided with Naegi because of what he experienced in the facility.

5. Sylvie Noria, Ultimate Ribbon Dancer [CH4, kgunzrok]:

Sylvie was a victim if we're being real, Norihito despised her personality & would always rain on her parade whenever he got clear opportunity. I adored Chapter 1 when Sylvie & Kimi made the loli brigade, they were practically attached to the hip. I felt extremely bad when she died, having to watch Sylvie break-down in front of everybody due to who she would soon found out is Jamie murdering Kimi. The talent of ribbon dancer was cute & suitable.

4. Norihito Sakaguchi, Ultimate Parkourist [CH4, Logie56]:

There are no words to describe an asshole like him, he was an edgelord and never held back from speaking his mind. His slight-interest for murder because of having to kill people in the past lead him to a relationship with Rushie, lasting until the trial where he was named as the blackened. I think him being executed helped Rushie turn a new leaf, becoming way more tolerable for the remaining few. All in all, Norihito was fun to play & I wouldn't really change anything about how his arc progressed.

3. Rushie Kitamura, Ultimate Serial Killer Enthusiast [17, Female, AintItFun]:

Remember when she used to stalk people for the hell of it? Rushie's a changed woman now, she doesn't *need* men holding her down.

2. Dai Ohno, Ultimate Disciplinarian [17, Male, SirNiceGuy]:

Lukas, I couldn't have guessed how iconic Dai would turn out being. Trapped in a facility, he would start to go over decisions from his past of becoming a disciplinarian. By the time Naegi revealed himself as the mastermind, Ohno discovered what an awful person he had been before and wanted to change what people thought of him. Similiar to Lacy's arc a bit from Ultimates in Despairland S0, but different for obvious reasons.

1. Kimi Kajiyama, Ultimate Lucky Student [CH1, Logie56]:

Robbed goddess, don't give a shit if she was only around for Daily Life. I can't explain how much I was fascinated with her private bio, luck already having saved her from life-threatening situations prior to entering the facility. She was pure, the fc was lovely and her friendship with Sylvie was adorable. Oh, and don't forget her passion for planting/tending to gardens. I may be bias, kiss my ass.
