10 Most Disturbing Danganronpa Deaths

10. Jin Kirigiri

Titled 'Blast Off', this is the very first execution in the Danganronpa series, as well as the opening shots of the game. No context is provided for this scene, deliberately leaving the player in the dark along with the blindfolded victim.

The childishly stereotypical form of the rocket, combined with the appearance of Monokuma and the cartoon sun and moon contrasts starkly with the screaming, trapped figure. It is not until Monokuma presses the button to launch the rocket, that the player can be sure of what they are witnessing.

This death is disturbing, not only because is it unexpected, but the game makes it clear that Jin Kirigiri has been placed in this rocket against his will. The rocket blasting off does not seem too dangerous at first. Being ambiguously sent off to die in space would not be a fun death, but nor is it particularly violent.

However, as the rocket slows, turns, then plunges back towards Earth at increasing speeds, a crash seems (and is) unavoidable. To further emphasis the disturbing nature of this death, the death is then confirmed by the rocket opening to reveal the remains of a sad skeleton with a cracked skull.
