10 Most Disturbing Danganronpa Deaths

Caused by an unintentional murder, this execution was all the more disturbing because of Chiaki's role as moral and investigative support throughout Danganronpa 2. She is also directly involved in reaching the conclusion that she is technically the culprit behind Nagito's death. Once she realises, she does not try to disguise this fact. allowing the trial to lead to her death.

The effect this has upon Hajime as a protagonist and the other characters reflects how despair continues as a key theme in the series. They are powerless to stop the truth from unfolding. The entire scenario also redefined the concept of what a "traitor" may be within the scope of the Danganronpa franchise.

Chiaki acted as a calm and collected moral compass for the group, who steered Hajime towards truths within trials. She also proves she possesses complex feelings and desires, despite being an AI replica, when she tries to save herself and Monomi from their execution.

As the Ultimate Gamer, her execution is ironically fitting, since she is eventually trapped in a Tetris stage and is crushed by the final brick. This brick acts as a trigger to an explosive combo, effectively ending any hope Chiaki may have survived.
