About

In this world, there are students granted the title of "Ultimate," recognized by the government's special encouragement system, the "Gifted Inmates Academy." These students, whose futures are promised due to their recognized talents, are granted various privileges by the government. Although Ultimate students are scattered across the country and rarely meet, one day, 16 of them find themselves imprisoned in the "Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles." The Ultimate Academy is ruled by a mysterious stuffed bear named Monokuma, who claims to be the headmaster. According to Monokuma, this academy is a place where talented high schoolers compete to be the top killer. The academy is surrounded by a massive wall, making escape impossible. To escape this place, one must commit murder as Monokuma says. The person who kills someone in the killing game, the culprit, is called the "Blackened," and those who catch the Blackened through deduction are called the "Spotless." When a murder occurs, students investigate the crime scene and collect evidence. The evidence gathered this way is called **"Truth Bullets,"** and they are used in the Class Trial to reveal contradictions hidden in others' statements. And when a murder happens, a Class Trial is held. A Class Trial is a proceeding where all students gather after a murder to determine who the culprit is. If the students succeed in finding the real culprit, the Blackened, only the Blackened is executed, and the remaining students survive to continue their communal life. Conversely, if the students fail to find the culprit and point to someone else as the Blackened, only the real Blackened survives and graduates from the academy, while all students except the Blackened are executed. Therefore, the Class Trial is a crucial trial where everyone's lives are at stake. The goal of the Blackened is to hide their identity until the end and direct suspicion toward other students so that everyone votes for the wrong person. If that happens, it is a victory for the Blackened. Conversely, the goal of the students is to investigate the crime scene, gather evidence, and reveal contradictions through discussion to find the real Blackened. If they successfully identify the Blackened, it is a victory for the students. Executions are carried out only on the student identified as the Blackened and are conducted in a manner related to their respective Ultimate talents. School Regulations 1.

Description of the Monokuma Pad: The Monokuma Pad's functions include checking the school regulations, allowing you to review the current killing game rules at any time, and viewing the academy's layout and your current location. You can also check student information, including their profiles and talents. Evidence collected during investigations is stored here, and you use this evidence to refute others' statements during the Class Trial. Various other information necessary for the trial's progress is also recorded. One Monokuma Pad is issued to each student, and each is labeled with a name to make it easy to distinguish from others. It is a very important item, so intentionally damaging it is a violation of the regulations. When new regulations are added, they are automatically reflected in the Monokuma Pad. Motives: Monokuma presents various motives each time to induce students to kill each other. The content of the motives varies every time and may involve the students' loved ones, secrets, or rewards.
