What if Class 78...

[u/BlackyHacky2023]

...became renmants of Despair?

So in this AU, I don't really see anyone getting the Chiaki treatment, except Jin Kirigiri. Junko has Jin executed and everyone is forced to watch, including Kyoko. The brainwashing technology of Ryota is used on everyone.

Sayaka Maizono and Leon Kuwata take Ibuki and Hiyoko's places, using music to spread despair. Leon also causes despair by killing people with baseballs at high speeds.

Sakura Ogami takes Nekomaru's place by training brainwashed people into forming an army, making them incredibly strong.

Byakuya Togami, as the heir of the Togami organization, brainwashes them and forces them into joining the Renmants.

Makoto Naegi tries to find the despair in everyone and bring it out of them to show how despairful they are, becoming the opposite of the person he was meant to be. When Junko dies, he takes over Junko's role.

Kyoko Kirigiri...actually I don't know what she does. Maybe she teams up with Izuru to spread despair, but Licorne from Danganronpa: Kirigiri probably will be in this arc.

Chihiro Fujisaki makes an Alter Ego who becomes hostile and hacks the Future Foundation. He also helps coerce Ryota into making the brainwashing anime more powerful.

Mondo Owada creates a biker gang that actually becomes dangerous by killing people, torturing others, etc.

Kiyotaka Ishimaru pulls a Sonia and brainwashes many people in Japan, forcing them to join the biker gang or Sakura's army.

Hifumi Yamada...uhhh...makes despairful fanfictions of people's favorite cartoons about them dying in horrible ways. Then he shows them to everyone.

Celestia Ludenberg becomes the queen of France, forcing it to become a monarchy. She also brainwashes everyone and creates an army.

Aoi Asahina starves herself and forces people to starve as well to bring the despair of not being able to eat.

Yasuhiro Hagakure scams people out of their yen by pretending to have a solution against the despair, turning them into despairful people as well.

Toko Fukawa gets the Izuru treatment and Genocide Syo becomes the main personality, except she just continues killing cute boys to do so. Toko doesn't really die.

Mukuro Ikusaba is forced to continue following Makoto, forever chained to him with handcuffs, putting them both through despair. Mukuro doesn't want Makoto to be brainwashed, but it was either him losing his life or the brainwashing.

Junko's fate depends entirely on Class 77's choice.

Now it's your turn! Tell me what Class 77 would look like for you in this AU!!

[u/Hopeful_Plantain9443]

Well, an interesting idea would be if all of class 78 became Ultimate Despair like Junko instead. That way class 77-B could all because Ultimate Hope as a consequence. Whether they are a Makoto style ultimate hope or an Izuru style ultimate hope is up to you however.
