10 Most Disturbing Danganronpa Deaths
3. Nagito Komaeda
There are many elements of Nagito's death that make it extremely disturbing, especially during the body discovery. The sheer brutality of it. His look of horror and agony. The fact that he orchestrated the whole situation, and relied solely on his luck to ensure that the culprit would be responsible for his actual cause of death.
This all further evidences his unhinged perspective about the significance of hope versus despair. It acts as the climax to his increasingly violent and psychotic actions towards himself and the other characters. Nagito, having little regard for his own life, had previously detonated bombs, and played Russian Roulette with an almost fully loaded chamber.
His motivations and unwavering belief in his own luck make him a worthy adversary and foil to Hajime, even after his brutal death. Not only that, but he willingly chooses to torture and impale himself in a very bloody fashion, simply to further confuse the investigation.
He also risked potentially burning to death, and chose to be poisoned by the culprit, believing that they would be the one to throw the bottle he had tampered with earlier. His convoluted plan and its horrific outcome make this one of the most disturbing deaths in the series.
