For instance, Maki asks Shuichi to "make a real family with her", Tenko insists that Shuichi can't be bullheaded if she asks him again to "do anything to her", and Gonta remarks that he's "not going to let get any sleep tonight". Some characters' events, like Kaede's, Tsumugi's, Angie's, Himiko's, Miu's, and Korekiyo's, strongly imply that they do end up sleeping with Shuichi (with or without his consent), but other characters' events are somewhat less clear.
Ambiguous Situation: Many of the love hotel events are ambiguous about whether or not Shuichi ends up having sex with whichever classmate he brought with him. As Shuichi notes, the only thing that cannot be denied is that they're alive. Ambiguous Ending: In the game's ending, it is ultimately left unclear how much of what Tsumugi revealed is the truth and how much isn't. This is odd considering other characters' Debate Scrum sprites are customized so details such as Kirumi's Peek-a-Bangs and Gonta's bug box are always on the correct side. Ambidextrous Sprite: Kaito always wears his left jacket sleeve and leaves the right side over his shoulder, but his Debate Scrum sprites when opposing the player are flipped so he wears his right sleeve. Alternative Foreign Theme Song: Western localizations replaced the ending theme, "Dan Kusari -break-" by Megumi Ogata, with an extended version of the opening theme titled "The END of DNG". That's because the backstory created for the game says that the school spent a few centuries looking for a new planet after the Earth's destruction was eminent from meteor showers and a virus pandemic, before Monokuma piloted the spaceship back to the now-uninhabitable Earth. The classroom shown in the PV looks like it's been abandoned for a while, and there is foliage on the dome. After the End: The aesthetic certainty looks this way. In fact, with Kaito and Maki being two-thirds of the game's primary Power Trio and K1-B0's vitality in the endgame, ultimately taking down Danganronpa itself in a Heroic Sacrifice, while Shuichi spends so much time after The Reveal in a Heroic BSoD, it could be argued that the initial poster was right all along.

It then turns out to be a double Red Herring with Shuichi being the true protagonist, with K1-B0, Himiko, and Maki being playable for the last trial as well. However, the second trailer reveals that the game's true main character is a girl named Kaede Akamatsu.
Advertised Extra: Everyone assumed K1-B0, the robot boy on the initial advertisement poster, would be the game's protagonist. However, this isn't proven until Chapter 6, long after Kaede was wrongfully executed.
Acquitted Too Late: Kaede was not actually Rantaro's killer Tsumugi was.And, while Monokuma has once again returned, it was announced pre-release that previous characters will not make an appearance, with the setting being Hope's Peak Academy's Spiritual Successor. Many elements, however, have been updated, with many technical aspects changed, multiple testimonies displayed at once during debates, "Debate Scrums" where the students split into two sides in a debate and the new ability to utilize "lies" to solve trials.
The game retains the same basic set-up as Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, with once again the story being divided into segments of Daily Life where the player interacts with the other characters, and the investigations and trials where it must be deduced which one of the students is a killer. Kaede soon discovers that they are indeed trapped, and she, Shuichi, and the other Ultimate students are forced into playing Monokuma's sadistic Mutual Killing Game, with the Monokubs piloting Humongous Mecha called Exisals to enforce the rules.
