Description[]
Assassination Classroom VS Danganronpa! Teaching is an important profession. The way these 2 mysterious teachers help their students though does not follow the regular curriculum at all. Their methods of "teaching" however are extremely different and it was only a matter of time before they found themselves in a clash against each other. It’s time for the super being who blew up the moon to face the Headmaster of Hope Peaks Academy in battle!
Intro[]
Wiz: Regardless of whether one enjoyed going to school or not, it is at these institutions of learning that memories for life are created. This is often due to great teachers making sure to pass on life lessons for the future.
Boomstick: Some teachers however teach their students in a very weird way. By weird, I mean having curriculums that involves attempted murders and assassinations. This describes today’s combatants perfectly.
Wiz: Their curriculums might both involve trying to stab someone to death but they go about them in complete opposite ways of each other. One of them attempts to teach that weaknesses can be strengths and how to maneuver an unfair world while the other just want to teach their students what true despair feels like.
Boomstick: Korosensei, The Unkillable Teacher of Class 3-E AKA The Assassination Classroom
Wiz: and Monokuma, Hope's Peak Academy’s Self-Proclaimed Headmaster and Mascot of Danganronpa.
Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick!
Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle.
Korosensei[]
Wiz: The Kunugigaoka Junior High School is one of the most renowned schools located in Japan. A majority of the students that graduate from this school are guaranteed to become successful in whatever career path they choose to follow. Kunugigaoka may look like a fair and prestigious facility but the dark truth behind its success may cause one to reconsider whether to enroll or not.
Boomstick: Schools kind of suck in my opinion but a school that is run by an principal that looks and sound exactly like Aizen from Bleach and encourages the students to basically make the ones with the lowest grades a living hell is basically the epitome of a terrible school. Even if I am offered unlimited booze and weapons for life, there is no way that I would ever attend this monstrosity of a school.
Wiz: There is admittedly some logic in this method. Transporting all the low-scoring students to a rundown campus building and encouraging the rest to treat them like thrash do make it evident that getting bad grades will have mayor consequences in the long run. The fear of getting transported to this E-Class is what makes every student study to the best of their ability and the dark reason for why Kunugigaoka has produced so many excellent students over the years.
Boomstick: Morality always comes before logic. We aren’t exactly the most stable of people but making Junior High School students life a living hell is not something neither me or Wiz would ever do.
Wiz: Preventing young minds from receiving the knowledge they deserve is something that very much offend me as a scientist and seeker of knowledge. The E-Class would fortunately receive a new teacher out of this world as the school year began anew.
Boomstick: Out of this world does not even come close to describing this guy. What greeted the students was not your ordinary boring looking teacher with glasses. The students of Class 3-E instead came to face to face with a yellow octopus monster with a cheshire cat grin plastered on his face AKA Korosensei AKA Fictions best teacher ever.
Wiz: He might look very strange but that does not mean he is not a very good teacher as Korosensei turned out to be one of most impressive teachers the E-Class had ever witnessed. Taking his students seriously and helping them with overcoming both educational and personal problems is what Koro does on a daily basis when teaching his beloved students. Korosensei would be an overwhelmingly good teacher if it weren’t for one small unimportant fact.
Boomstick: What is this unimportant fact you ask? Korosensei freaking blew up 70% of the moon, forced the government to literally allow him to teach the E-Class for some reason, and basically teaches them normal school stuff like poison-making and the arts of killing with the threat of him blowing up the Earth if they don’t kill him before the end of the school year. It does not make him any less efficient as a teacher however.
Wiz: Teaching a couple of kids the art of assassination in order to help them kill you might not sound very smart in the long run but Koro has plenty of overpowered abilities that frankly makes this task almost impossible. Korosensei translates to “unkillable teacher” ironically enough. What Koro excel in other than teaching is……
Boomstick: ridiculous overwhelming incalculable speed!!!
Wiz: Koro is stated to be able to move and react at speeds of Mach 20 so his speed is technically calculable. This is his top speed at the beginning of the story however. There are plenty of examples that the unkillable teacher moved at speeds much faster than Mach 20 at several points during his time at Kunugigaoka.
Boomstick: Proof that Mr octopus managed to get even more ridiculously fast through hard work can be found near the end of the school year where he managed to react to and dodge a laser fired from space stated to move at light speed. Koro did not escape without any problem as the laser did manage to catch and disintegrate some of the teacher’s tentacles so while it would be kind of dumb to assume that the octopus man could move at light speed; this event is very much proof that Koros top speed near the end of the story is much higher than his puny Mach 20 at the beginning.
Wiz: Dodging a light speed laser from space is not Korosenseis only impressive speed feat however. He has so many more speed feats under his belt that it is not even funny. Korosensei has constantly been shown to be able to dodge everything from gunfire from shotguns, machineguns, and assault rifles to rain drops during a rainstorm with ease, keep up with a rocket leaving orbit for a short time, and catch bullets using everyday items.
Boomstick: If you think all of this sound wacky as hell, prepare yourself for this is child play when compared to the really really zany things mr Octopus can do with his speed. He can steal a group of his students cool looking rubber knives and replace them with lame flowers in an instant, catch every single minuscule drop of a bowl of boiling soup being sent flying into the air with an eyedropper along with punishing Karmas actions by dressing him in a girly looking apron, spin around and create giant tornadoes powerful enough to clear away a large field of weeds in only a few seconds like a master gardener, draw his own smug face on the side of the planet with contrails in a very short amount of time, and even shake French Fries by switching between an altitude of 33,000 and 98,000 feet repeatedly. It’s like I said before. This speed is overwhelmingly OP. I definitely can’t read several massive volumes of manga in under a second like this overpowered octopus.
Wiz: This speed is even impressive when Koro is weakened somewhat. Being sleepy, drunk, seasick, or caught off guard does not stop this teacher from suppressing a point-blank explosion or make it easier for his assailants to kill him with guns and knives. Even recovering from being stabbed in the heart does nothing for his attackers as he is still able to use his speed to dodge in this situation.
Boomstick: Are we done with his speed feats yet? It’s not that talking about this inanely OP speed is boring exactly as I would very much want the ability to travel from Japan to China in 10 measly minutes or move so fast that time seemingly stands still like the time when a baseball was thrown at the octopus. It would take us 5 hours to simply go through every little speed feat of this yellow squid at this rate however.
Wiz: Not even close. We still have to mention his speed clones. Korosensei is so fast that he can create clones of himself and be in 26 places at the same time. This amount only increased as he used this technique to help several of his student’s study at the same time throughout the school year. It also allows him to play baseball by himself and take care of several festival booths simultaneously. Maintaining this number of clones does tire Koro out on occasions even if he can still use them with some of his tentacles destroyed.
Boomstick: This must be it right? Can we please talk about something other than speed? Anymore mention of the octopus zipping around is going to make me sea-sick on dry land. You really don’t want my vomit on your shoes Wiz.
Wiz: We are still not done with the speed feats so I am going to stay as far as I can away from you as I mention these last feats of speed. Moving faster than sound with his tentacles, keeping up with advanced fighter jets, and creating handwritten copies for all his students in no time at all are all impressive but they all pale when compared to this last feat that have to be mentioned before we move on from this topic. Surviving a point-blank explosion to the face that tore the side of a building apart may not seem that impressive at first glance. Protecting the person who caused the explosion and rebuilding the entire side of the building back to normal in the time it took for someone to turn around to search for the exploding sound they just heard however is.
Boomstick: That’s it. I am about to thro…………..Huh? Why are we suddenly in the studio’s tiny storage room Wiz? Did your matter transporter malfunction again?
Wiz: What are you talk…………..? You seem to be correct Boomstick. We are indeed in the storage room of our studio. This should not have happened. I fixed that invention of mine weeks ago. It should not malfunction and send us to random places anymore.
Boomstick: I am so going to punish you for this later Wiz.
Wiz: Let’s not think about this embarrassing situation. Stop those thoughts of revenge and tell me about Koros strength feats now that we have covered the majority of his speed accomplishments. Koro has been noted to have weak punches and have stated himself to be unable to carry things of five tons or more. The truth of this matter is a bit more complex however.
Boomstick: The octopus teacher must have a screw lose if he thinks he is weak. Eating a knife and casually taking a large bite out of a coconut is not something anyone can do without suffering the consequences. Koro isn’t normal however so I don’t think ripping apart a metal net, throwing a baseball at 186 mph, and choking some very disturbing high-schoolers that tried to do some naughty things with Koros female students is weak at all,
Wiz: I agree that having enough strength to catch an ignite missile and tunnel through the ground beneath him with ease is not weak by any means. What Korosensei might mean by stating that he is weak is that his strength is not really as impressive when one compares it to his speed. It’s with the momentum from his speed that Koro can increase his strength by a tremendous amount momentarily after all. Without this momentum, it would have been impossible for the teacher to visit 30 different countries in a single day holding 2 large bags containing all of his 28 students or battle other tentacle creatures like Itona and the Reaper.
Boomstick: These two tentacle creatures are very much OP just like the yellow octopus which should not be very surprising. Despite being mostly human and only having tentacles in his hair, the Itona kid can smash tanks, jet planes, and semitruck to pieces with a combination of speed and strength. Reaper is even worse as the tentacle monster is stated to be Mach 40 AKA twice as fast as mr Octopus and has a starting speed of Mach 2. This makes it extremely easy for him to turn a freaking skyscraper into dust in no time at all. I am starting to get speed sick again so I am going to vomit now.
Wiz: Do it in that trashcan over there that I swore was not here a minute ago. The Reaper can create sonic booms and pierce through a person with ease using his tentacles so he is a very powerful opponent. Korosensei either dodging, deflecting, or withstanding these twos attack while fighting back with sonic booms of his own and eventually defeating them in his separate encounters with them proves that Koros combination of speed and strength is nothing to scoff at.
Boomstick: Those tentacles look very freaky but being able to defeat other tentacle monstrosities mean that you don’t want to mess with this speedy teacher. Speed thankfully isn’t everything this teacher can do with his goofy looking body however which I am glad for. I really don’t want to throw up again. Let’s talk about the octopus other weird features like that emoji of a face of his. This absurd head comes equipped with a tongue that can dissolve thing by licking them with some weird saliva and a nose that any bloodhound would kill for.
Wiz: That smell of Koros allow him to memorize the scents of any person or thing that he encounters allowing him to easily detect them whenever he encounters them again. Hidden bombs and ambushes are therefore very susceptible to fail when it involves the E-Class teacher. His other senses are equally as good with his eyes and hidden ears allowing him to both zoom in on what’s happening across a city and hear everything happening on the mountain the E-Class building is located on.
Boomstick: It’s as if the dumb octopus can sense the killing intent of a person with these senses. Even if an assassin miraculously got close to this octopus of a target, their methods of killing would have done squat nothing. Metal like bullets literally melt when coming into contact with the unkillable teacher’s body and poisoning involving deadly substances like Sulfuric Acid only changes his already strange face into even zanier looking ones. Poison Gas and Electric Shocks are also as insignificant and useless as a mosquito bite to this monster of a teacher.
Wiz: I would like to very much study what makes up this E-Class teacher due to all these characteristics of his body. The skin of his in particular interests me greatly. If I could learn to harness the skins’ ability to harden in order to withstand the pressure from using Mach 20 speeds or its camouflaging capabilities, it would be possible for me to create extremely efficient armor. It should be possible since Koro can shed his skin once a month and use it as a defense technique capable of withstanding point-blank explosions.
Boomstick: Why should we care about that skin when you can instead try to replicate mr octopus Kamehameha equivalent? Unleashing gigantic energy blasts confirmed to be stronger than a tank blast at its weakest and utterly wrecking the supposed superior Reapers tentacles form at its strongest is something that needs to be replicated and given to me to use against those pesky tax collectors.
Wiz: There is no way I am giving you any such powers Boomstick. I still remember the headaches from the last time I gave you offensive abilities. I could try and replicate Koros less destructive transformations if you want however.
Boomstick: Hard pass on that liquid form of the octopus. Turning into a speedy liquid that can fit in any small space is not worth it. Hard yes on the Absolute Defense Form however. Becoming basically a small and immobile ball for 24 hours is something I can accept with the form being nuclear bomb proofed. Don’t get how you think activating the defensive form is less destructive though Wiz. Creating blasts of energy capable of breaking large amounts of iron and concrete when activated or deactivated is definitely still very destructive and awesome after all.
Wiz: Never mind then. Speaking of Koros more defensive techniques, lets next talk about the teachers impressive regeneration. Losing 7 tentacles all at once or having parts of his head melted of can be made undone quickly with Koros regenerative ability. Even damage caused by being stabbed in the heart can be regenerated into nothingness.
Boomstick: If you thought the regeneration was insane, you’re going to be even more baffled when you find out that the octopus is so immune to most things that the governments of the world had to ban together and create rubber knives and bullets specifically made to kill this beast of a teacher. Too bad that the regeneration makes this a moot point though. Is it just me or is this friendly tentacly terror one of the most OP combatants we have ever had on this show? It definitely feels like that.
Wiz: He is definitely one of the most unique combatants we have ever had but all these powers came with a consequence that Koro should never have had to paAAAAAAAHHHHHHAAAAA!
(Wiz and Boomstick both let out girlish screams of fear as they are suddenly standing in the middle of the road about to be run over by a car. As they close their eyes and prepare for the inevitable, nothing happens. When they reopen their eyes, they are back in the storage room)
Boomstick: ……………………….That was the last straw for me. I am so going to enjoy destroying that invention of yours when we get out of here. You better not stop me Wiz. The transporter is being sent to scrapheap today whether you like it or not.
Wiz: I am so going to scrap that invention of mine later so you don’t have to worry about it Boomstick. This is getting ridiculous even for me. Can you start explaining the tragic origins of Korosensei as I try to think of a way out of here since the door is locked for some reason?
Boomstick: Tragic isn’t the right word to describe the backstory of the octopus man. Its more fitting to describe this top assassin getting caught and experimented upon along with everything else that happened during those days of captivity as something full of people cutting onions right in front of me. When I mean top assassin, I am not joking. Koro is literally his world's greatest assassin in existence AKA the real Reaper and not the jealous student that stole the name for himself. No normal assassin in our world can slit a man’s throat and steal his wine glass without spilling the nectar of life on the ground.
Wiz: That explains a lot why he is such a great teacher. Having tons of experience in the field of assassination made him an excellent teacher to the E-Class students. With a kill count of over 100 people and the skill to kill a dozen military officers in just under week to end a civil war, there can be no doubt that Koros legendary status as an assassin can’t be overstated enough.
Boomstick: Those pesky corrupt scientists really should not have given this kind of assassin OP tentacly powers. The guy could have escaped whenever he wished but stayed because he ironically understood the experiments done to him better than his captors and used this to his advantage to become an tentacle monster of OP proportions.
Wiz: The tragic part of this that I mentioned before involved a scientist that the human Koro fell in love with. Her name was Aguri Yukimura and she was the E-Class teacher of Kunugigaoka. She taught this master assassin the meaning of life and how weaknesses can be strengths. He just did not realize how much he loved and appreciated her until it was too late as she died during his escape. In her honor, Koro transformed into the octopus that he is today and decided to guide the students she left behind.
Boomstick: It’s no wonder I feel like someone is forcing cut onions in my face every time I hear this terrible tale. What’s even worse was that the newly formed octopus got blamed for the moons destruction when the true culprit was a freaking rat that had gone through the same procedure. It is true though that Koro will eventually meet the same fate and explode with enough power to destroy the earth unfortunately.
Wiz: Exploding and destroying the planet is actually not a big concern anymore Boomstick. The anti-matter particles that make up Korosensei got stabilized during the series making an explosion unlikely even if it’s still possible somewhat.
Boomstick: That’s a relief. This octopus assassin with a heart of gold is starting to grow on me. I so wish I had this guy as a teacher when I went to pris…..I mean school. I am not joking when I say that this teacher literally flies his students to Hawaii to watch a movie in cinemas there while also giving them a private science class on the way there and deflecting any powerful wind currents and dust particles away from them at the same time. He even created a freaking swimming pool and multiple oversized guidebooks to help his students with his OP speed. Best teacher of fiction indeed.
Wiz: For once we agree wholeheartedly Boomstick! A teacher that is an expert in all the normal subjects like Math and languages, makes test and quizzes designed specifically for each student, and goes out his way to help a student’s divorced parents get together again is something every educator should strive to be. His student’s well-being has always been Korosenseis top priority.
Boomstick: Like I said. Best Teacher in fiction. It really should not be a surprise at this point. The anti-matter octopus transformation increased this assassin’s already great mind to a superhuman level. Being able to process information thousands of times faster than the average person makes it easy for him to multitask several of his students tutoring at the same time or spot patterns in either the field of study or incoming attackers. May I please explain the most insane intelligence feat of the Octopus Wiz? It’s so out there that I need to be the one to explain it.
Wiz: If you promise not to retaliate for our current predicament, you may indeed explain that feat. Let me just quickly mention some other less ridiculous feats of intelligence first like being able to memorize all the test booklets of Japan after reading them once and his impressive medical knowledge that allows him to analyze the muscular structure of a person along with detecting and removing a woman’s brain tumor without making a fatal mistake in a quick fashion.
Boomstick: That’s indeed small potatoes to what I am about to mention. If you think that mr octopus can make 985 modifications to an advanced AI with a mission to kill him and transform it from a boring black fox with subpar graphics to an more awesome looking box with a LCD screen and full body projection anime graphics, you deserve an award for coming up with such a crazy prediction and being 100% correct. Koro basically made the Autonomously Intelligent Fixed Artillery AKA “Ritsu” more human both in digital mind and body. Yet another example of this guy being almost as stupidly OP in the mind department as he is when it comes to speed.
Wiz: The combination of speed and intelligence allows Koro to perform all the incredible feats we have already mentioned with his tentacles. Speaking of his tentacles however, it is unknown how many of these he has hidden beneath his robes. It can be calculated somewhat up to around 28 due to once patting all his students’ heads at the same time but there is evidence that one can use to hypothesize there being more.
Boomstick: Having tentacles for hands is not something I would want if I got my hands on OP powers. Them being able to extend across a classroom, generate electricity, and transform into nets and drills kind of make me uncomfortable. I am a fan of boobies and the ladies but even I won’t cross certain lines and gain powers that look straight up like they came from a h…………
Wiz: Don’t finish that sentence Boomstick. You know what will happen if you say tha…………………Huh? Seems like we are back in our usual recording room.
Boomstick: Shut that thing off immediately before we get teleported again. If you don’t dismantle it this instant and causes us for example to be teleported to Davy Jones locker next, I will haunt you for all of time Wiz.
Wiz: I am already ahead of you Boomstick. Time to shut this invention off permanently………… That’s weird. The transporter is offline. How could it have teleported us when it was shut down?
?????: NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF!
Boomstick: Did I just hear you laugh Wiz? Must have been my imagination. Destroy that infernal thing right now regardless whether it is turned on or off. If I could create sound waves capable of shattering concrete or flick a grain of sand with enough accuracy to rupture someone’s arteries like Koro, I would have done so to that stupid machine already.
Wiz: Stop yelling in my ear. It has been dismantled now so you don’t have to worry about unexpected teleports anymore. Seems like I will have to work on a new matter-transporter since this one has turned out to be a giant dud.
Boomstick: Speaking of fumbles and embarrassing weaknesses, Koro unfortunately has a lot of these in his arsenal. The long list I have in front of me is proof of this. These weaknesses include …………………..being strict about swimming pool rules, unable to sleep without his pillow, afraid of the occult, prone to road rage when driving, not able to handle hot food, unable to stop himself from crying during corny movies, too much of Gossipmonger, and more stupid stuff? What did I just read? This list is a joke list right?
Wiz: It’s no joke Boomstick. Those weaknesses written down on the list are all legitimate. They might seem a little strange but there is doubt that they are true when you consider Koros personality. In order to be easy to talk to and prevent his worse tendencies from making an appearance, Koro with the tentacles help made himself into such a person creating a lot of these silly weaknesses in the process.
Boomstick: Makes sense I guess. Since its implied that the yellow squid could devastate cities when he loses control of his emotions and gets super angry, I would rather run into the creature obsessed with boobs and porn magazines when he is his usual goofy self. Some of these flaws listed are more serious than others however.
Wiz: Some of these more serious weaknesses include being prone to easily panic, messing up when showing off, unable to move when all his tentacles have been pinned to the ground, more susceptible to psychological attacks, and his senses and tentacles weakening when exposed to certain chemicals and pollen. There even exist a special kind of light that can solidify and immobilize Koro for a short time. One the most alarming weaknesses however is water as this substance is absorbed and slows down the teacher’s movement when it comes in contact with his skin. He is also embarrassingly unable to swim.
Boomstick: An octopus that can’t swim except for when he is wearing a watertight fish suit to protect himself from getting wet? Not the strangest thing I have ever heard but it is definitely in the Top 100. It’s not as if the octopus needs the suit for all watery occasions however as his sticky and gross mucus can be used as an defense against this very common substance. It can also be used to fly silently at supersonic speeds.
Wiz: Speaking of Korosenseis speed once again, it should be mentioned that this also has a few flaws that can be exploited by intelligent opponents. A good example of this is his reaction speed being dulled significantly when flustered or panicked. This is due to the fact that he can't move at Mach 20 immediately. His starting speed before reaching his Mach speeds is somewhere around 370 and 435 mph. Both his top and starting speeds can be reduced further as using his shedding and regenerative abilities uses up a lot of stamina that could be used for speed instead.
Boomstick: Basically losing one measly tentacle equals to a 20% OP speed decrease. The last few essential weaknesses that should be mentioned I guess would his small defense form being unable to withstand a powerful laser made of anti-sensei material and a good one-shot to his heart being capable to killing this OP octopus.
Wiz: Damaging his heart is indeed an easy way to kill Koro if one was able to hit it as it was the cause of his eventual death. It being a guaranteed one-shot is completely false however. Tentacles stronger than Itonas originating from one of his students pierced his heart once and while it weakened him greatly; it was not enough to kill him and prevent his regeneration from taking place.
Boomstick: Kaede Kayano AKA the famous child actress Akari Yukimura AKA Koros not-scientist girlfriends little sister looking for some misguided payback definitely was not in the right mindset when she tried to blaze the octopus out of existence. Luckily for her, the top tier teacher came up with a way to restore her to normal before the tentacles literally incinerated her. Some dumb and very arrogant scientists would say this kind of dedication to his students is a large weakness but I heavily disagree with such arrogant idiots.
Wiz and ?????: Hope you are referring to Shiro and not me Boomstick. I don’t agree with such a statement either and neither would Korosensei. His students being a mayor weakness is preposterous. Students like these are the greatest gift a teacher could ask for. They are not a hindrance. They are not a weakness.
Boomstick: Wiz? Are you okay? You don’t have to yell to get the point across that anyone thinking the octopus students are mayor hindrances is full of bullshit.
Wiz and ?????: I am fine Boomstick. I just want to say how good of a teacher this extraordinary octopus gentleman is. A teacher is always supposed to keep an eye on their students. Brining my dea…….I mean Kayano back to life is child play for any normal teacher with Mach 20 speeds and plenty of beautiful tentacles to use. Collecting all of her blood and somatic cells after she got stabbed and maintaining them in an sterile air pocket with small tentacles only meant for the students while fighting my old appre…. I mean the second Reaper would be easy for a super being like this to accomplish. Healing her in a way that makes it look like she never got stabbed was extremely easy after that.
Boomstick: ………………Okay you are starting to scare me now Wiz. Did you drink several bottles of booze before doing this episode. You should know by now that you can’t hold your liquor unlike yours truly.
Wiz: I…………..don’t know. I just felt like saying that for some reason. I also can’t help but think of Koros Mach Whisper ability where he basically uses his speed to become invisible and whisper in such a way into someone’s ear that he can subtly alter their thoughts and speech patterns for a short while. Don’t know why though.
Boomstick: Either your super drunk or your mind has finally been fried after so many years of using it. I wouldn’t be surprised by either theory if I am honest. My mind is also starting to feel little lightheaded after this character analysis. Koro might be awesome in both fighting and teaching but that does not stop him from having too much information for me to comprehend all at once.
Wiz: It’s probably the second option if I had to guess the reason. Regardless of him having so much to analyze however, Korosensei is one of the most well-known teachers in fiction for all the reasons we have already stated. Hurt his students and risk getting caught up in Koros tentacles if you dare.
Korosensei: Nagisa; the details aren’t important. Let’s just say I am here to make good on a promise. One I don’t take lightly. The earth will be destroyed yes but my first priority is to you and your classmates. Nothing beats giving you kids the credit your due. Not even me blowing up the earth!
Monokuma[]
Wiz: Hope's Peak Academy was once one of the most prestigious schools in the world. Only the best of the best students in their respective fields could attend this school like the ultimate Fashionista Junko Enoshima, the ultimate Detective Kyoko Kirigiri, and ultimate Musician Ibuki Mioda for example. Being scouted for this school basically guaranteed a very successful career in life.
Boomstick: Best of the best eh? If that’s the case, where are our invites? I am the ultimate booze drinker and you are the ultimate nerd Wiz so I think we qualify for a very successful and relaxing life. If someone like the ultimate Fanfic Creator Hifumi Yamada can get an invite, you and I definitely would qualify for this school.
Wiz: I wouldn’t say no to such an invitation but due to the fact the school is only for highly talented high school students and not grown overweight men like you and I Boomstick along with the fact that the school is now known as the origin point of The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History; I do think I would have to decline the invitation if I ever had received it.
Boomstick: That’s a bummer and that event is a mouthful to say. Let’s just shorten it down to the Tragedy since I really don’t want to utter such a complex name that hurts my throat several times during this episode.
Wiz: That’s probably for the best. The Tragedy was a horrific event that eventually slowly snowballed into causing global unrest and anarchy all over the world. Death and destruction became the nom every single day due to the Tragedy. What was the Tragedy you ask? It was an event where information was leaked that a student had murdered an entire class of students allegedly, another class got brainwashed by an video of a friend being brutally tortured into psychopaths obsessed with causing despair, and the reserve course students of the school all committing mass suicide at the same time.
Boomstick: ………………………………………… That’s dark. That’s very dark. I am now glad that I never got an invite. Especially now that the new Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy is……
Monokuma makes his grand entrance as the camera zooms in at the far end of the gym as class 78 watches with confusion.
Boomstick: ……a black and white robotic teddy bear? Anime can be so weird sometimes but don’t let its strange appearance fool you. This teddy bear is not someone you want to mess with. Its love for causing despair and sadistic sense of humor is not something to be underestimated.
?????: Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu! Thanks for those kind words Boomstick.
Wiz: Did you just laugh Boomstick? You sounded much more like a crazy person than normal.
Boomstick: Me? You were the one that sounded like Mickey Mouse evil cousin right now Wiz.
?????: I'm not a teddy bear however!
Wiz: If it’s not you or I Boomstick, then it must be………….Oh no!
Boomstick: Not another one! Deadpool and the pink horse caused me enough nightmares last time this happened.
?????: I...am...Monokuma!
Wiz: Seems like my 4th wall defenses needs to be updated again. How did you even get in here?
Monokuma: Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu! That’s for me to know and you to find out. Let’s have some fun first though. Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Boomstick: Let’s get out of here Wiz. This guy’s sense of fun is not something I want to have any part in. Especially if he brings out his “punishments.”
Monokuma: Not so fast former hosts of Death Battle. This is my show now and as the new host of Death Battle; it’s time for you to be punished. The punishment will start early if you try to leave this room however. Don’t let that stop you. The bombs I have set up around the room will though. Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Boomstick: What the hell? When did you freaking set all this up and do you really think I am going to let a videogame mascot steal my paycheck?
Wiz: I hate to say it Boomstick but let’s just humor him for the moment. It would take me a long time to disarm these bombs even with my knack for science and we still have an episode to complete. Let’s deal with this guy later.
Monokuma: Good choice Wizzy. Let’s beargin my despairing analysis. Disappoint me and you will be punished. Your bodies will be blown apart as I then stab, bludgeon, crush, hack, and ignite what remains of you.
Wiz: Bear puns? Really? This episode is going to outdo Smokey Bear VS McGruff isn’t it?
Boomstick: Please stop angering the murder tedd… I mean handsome robot bear Wiz. Let’s instead talk about how great and awesome Monokuma is.
Wiz: Standing at the height of 2'1", Monokuma is the self-proclaimed new Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy. After taking control of the remains of Hope's Peak where Class 78 was taking refuge, the robotic bear erased everyone’s memoires of their time at the school and forced the students to participate in a deadly death game. Even with quite a few of them being good fighters, Monokuma proved time after time again that resisting him was pointless.
Boomstick: That is evident enough already with our current situation but one big reason for his overwhelming dominance is his gigantic arsenal of killing toys. The sheer size of his bag of holding include everything from normal things like baseball bats, AR-15 rifles, dynamite, and flamethrowers to ridiculous things like revolvers that fires swarms of robotic wasps at bullet-like speeds, fake wings that allow the bear to float a few seconds in the air before they fall off, and flashback lights that disorient the opponents as false memories are implanted inside them in the form of a bright light.
Wiz: Don’t forget all of the vehicles Monokuma has at his disposal as well like makeshift rocket ships, motorcycles, firetrucks, excavators, helicopters, and tanks.
Boomstick: This is one fine collection of weapons I must admit but why does our favorite overlord bear need so many strange things like helicopters that fire missiles full of freaking eggs and breadcrumbs when he already have tanks and guns that could do the same thing with much more destruction in mind?
Wiz: That’s easy to answer. Due to having specific punishments designed for each contestant of the varying death games ready for once the blackened are found guilty in a class trial, Monokuma have several items prepared beforehand to make the punishments as despair inducing as possible for the victim in question. Now to be fair, Monokuma has never used most of these things in direct combat. That does not mean he wouldn’t use his punishment tools however if he was forced into a tough fi..
Boomstick/Wiz: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Monokuma: Seems like those nice armbands I just put on you two are working like a charm. Shocking aren’t they? Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu! Nice job so far. You’re making me all hot and sweaty. You did forbear one important thing though. Talking about punishments is my thing especially if they are mine.
Boomstick: That hurt you stupid bear. If we let you present you’re so precious punishments, will you freaking leave us alone already?
Monokuma: Puuhuhuhuhuhuh! Such anger. Such despair. Let it consume you. Give in to the power of despair and strike me down. Attack this superior host of Death Battle and feel despair as your entire body is blown to pieces.
Wiz: Just ignore him Boomstick. Let’s just wait for him to finish. With all of what happened during the first analysis and us being held captive by a not very impressive looking machine right now, I can already feel a large migraine coming up and I really don’t want to make it any bigger than it already is.
Monokuma: Let me give you everything I got. Its punishment presentation time!
A slideshow of various Danganronpa executions starts to play in the background as Monokuma starts to explain each of them in great detail.
Monokuma: First up is one that is so very dear to my black and white heart. Blast-Off; the first ever execution where I sent my predecessor into space with a very handsome looking rocket. Too bad thought that its rough crash landing back to Earth burned up all of his flesh. Un-Bear-ably for him and music to my ears. I should have known that sequels like Blast Off! Second Ignition would never have been able to surpass the original even with the extra journey through the center of the earth included. When in doubt, trust pop culture, fake news, and words from strangers.
Monokuma: Some more of my stomachs personal favorite punishments is The Cage of Death and Deep Fried Teruteru. The butter created from liquifying an idiot on a motorcycle inside an circular electric cage tasted so good that I can still feel the taste of despair to this day and remembering smell of eggs and breadcrumbs radiating from the ultimate Cook being fried to death inside of a volcano makes me both hungry and fuzzy inside. A bear always thinks with his stomach after all. I never have to worry about getting fat with punishments like The 1,000 Blows in where I turn a baseball pitcher into a turret that fire baseballs at machine gun-like speeds. Seeing the despair on the poor victims face as they can do nothing to avoid being pawed into a dead sack of meat makes me lose calories every time.
Monokuma: There is also Burning of the Versailles Witch where the poor victim is tied to a stake and set on fire before becoming roadkill to a firetruck, Der Flohwalzer that uses someone being strangled to death to play the most beautiful of all my piano masterpieces, One Woman Army where robots much uglier than me overwhelm and force “skilled opponents” to despair and die with their sharp swords, Wild West Insecticide which will make anyone stuck with Entomophobia or Pyrophobia let out a wail of despair, and Please Insert Coin where mimicking Packman and Tetris become deadly affairs. Entertainment like this makes me nostalgic for the old days. Spike Chunsoft better make another Danganronpa game soon so I can come up with more despair inducing punishments or else they might get punished instead.
Monokuma: Let’s finish this little presentation with Spears of Gungnir and The Ultimate Punishment. I am already getting bored so I won’t mention the rest due to me not wanting to do it to cause all you watchers despair. When the wave of Gungnir spears was used in the first killing game and turned that person into a human Swiss cheese, I almost fainted of all the despair it caused me. The Ultimate Punishment which included all known punishments beforehand at the time would undoubtedly be much greater if used today. That gives me a splendid idea of what to do at the end of this episode when my predecessors fail to amuse me.
Boomstick: Finally! It’s about time the teddy bear shu……. I mean finished his very well-made presentation. As terrifying and wacky as all those murder machines are, Monokuma does not really need them to give any student stupid enough to harm him a very bad time.
Wiz: That would make sense seeing as Monokuma has claimed in the past that he is so mechanically advanced that even NASA scientists can't understand his remote-control system. The bears habit of saying whacky stuff all the time however does make this statement a bit questionable.
Boomstick: I do not like that despair loving bear at all especially since he is keeping us captive and threatening to steal my well-deserved paycheck for booze and guns. I have to admit that for once Monokuma probably said the truth with that statement. The bear can move so fast that he creates afterimages, transform his right paw into an energy arm-cannon, ignite his arms and hit opponents with a flaming barrage of punches, and turn himself super buff for extra strength maybe? This proves the dumb statement true this time. Does not mean the rest are equally true and not just random words used to annoy everyone around him.
Wiz: Statements like being able to play soccer by himself using his afterimages is probably such a statement. Now it is true that Monokuma is extremely agile and fast when he wants to be. Being able to almost catch up with the speed of a motorcycle and shown the ability to dodge storms of bullets proves this. The most impressive speed feat comes from the 1,000 Blows punishment where Monokuma was shown being able to react to and batt away several baseballs moving at machine gun-like speed with a baseball bat for an unidentifiable amount of time.
Boomstick: Impressive speed even if it proves that playing soccer with himself is a load of baloney.
Monokuma: …………………………………………………….
Wiz: What Boomstick meant to say was that while this speed is not the same Monokuma bragged about; it is still more than enough to take on students like the ultimate Gymnast Akane Owari, the ultimate Martial Artist Sakura Ogami, and the ultimate Soldier Mukuro Ikusaba.
Boomstick: I did? I mean of course I meant so say that! The bear can pack quite the punch with a wicked corkscrew attack and another attack that references that Ora Ora Ora Ora meme from Jojo. Not surprising since the bear loves to hear himself talk and utter pop culture references.
Monokuma: Why is that surprising? I am the most adorable mascot on the planet. I deserve a movie as a tribute unlike a certain blue annoying hedgehog who got 2 of them! I hate that hedgehog!
Wiz: You do love torturing ultimate students though so could you be so kind and avoid clicking the detonator in front of you in anger. Remember the time you nearly killed Akane Owari who can tank attacks from Nekomaru Nidais building sized explosion creating punches and is an expert athlete that is fast enough to barely avoid fatal attacks from you.
Monokuma: You’re making me blush. I do love compliments that point out how grizzly I can be.
Boomstick: With claws sharp enough to cut through metal along with an explosive within him that can be detonated if Monokuma finds himself physically overpowered, there are not many opponents in the Danganronpa world that can take on Monokuma unscratched. You’d think I would be happy that the annoying robot bear has an off switch but unfortunately……
Monokuma: I may follow the 1 bear rule but that does not mean there is only 1 of me. Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu! There would be no Danganronpa without me. I am immortal despair incarnated.
Wiz: What Monokuma said can be translated into that there is not just one Monokuma. In fact, there is an army of them at most times ready be unleashed at unaware opponents like me and Boomstick for example.
Boomstick: That’s just great. While I know I could easily beat Wiz in a fight because he is a big nerd, I stand no chance in hell against arguably the two ultimate’s with the biggest chance of winning against these robotic monstrosities. Sakura Ogami for example can do things no highschooler should be able to do. This guy can literally shake the room he’s standing with his punches, throw someone with so much G-force that they are almost knocked unconscious, take part in 400 martial arts matches and never lose even when fighting gold medal winning fighters, and move so fast it looks like teleportation using a technique known as……...Shukuhi?
Wiz: That’s a girl Boomstick. She does look very masculine but the name Sakura along with the fact she is wearing as skirt should have already alerted you of this fact. The technique you just mentioned is called Shukuchi and not Shukuhi. It is a martial arts technique that allows the user to close the distance between themselves and their opponent instantaneously with 500km being the maximum distance being able to travel. Speaking of speed though, my favorite feat of Sakura’s is being able to keep up with and defeat the infamous serial killer Genocide Jack who can react to missiles and slice them in half. A missile usually travels around Mach 5 to Mach 10 speed so I would really like to know the training regimen this highschooler does. It could make for an interesting experiment.
Boomstick: …I knew that. I just wanted to test if you knew Wiz. My favorite feat however is her basically stopping a car modified with a freaking jet engine without a sweat. That’s insane. Are we sure she is a high-schooler and not secretly a super solider? The fact that Monobear over here could fight this ogre of a monster to a draw and take some hits and remain notably undamaged but still admit that there was a big chance that he would have lost is mindboggling to say the least.
Wiz: Speaking of soldiers, Mukuro Ikusaba has shown able to fight off an almost endless swarm of Monokumas consisting of up 100 robot bears. This ultimate solider has never been scarred in combat even once during the entirety of her career. This is not surprising at all since Mukuro has such control of the battlefield around her that she can parry attacks from her blind spot instinctively, use the same mastery of Shukuchi as Sakura, and clash with people who can slice a manor in half horizontally. The fact that the army of Monokumas was able to eventually able to subdue Mukuro shows just how terrifying Monokuma can be. If it hadn’t been for students like Sakura who herself could also take out a lot of Monokumas singlehandedly, the ultimate solider would have been killed.
Boomstick: Wait a second! That does not make any sense. Sakura could not defeat a single Monokuma without being forced to rest for an entire day afterwards but she can take down several annoying despair bears in quick succession when fighting several at the same time?
Wiz: In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF, Mukuro guesses that controlling more than one Monokuma at a time is an extremely difficult task to do behind the scenes and is also something that requires an insane mount of willpower to accomplish. This short light novel might be a non-cannon what if story but since it does reference a lot of already established information; the likely event that this could be true is quite high. The same goes for the Danganronpa: Togami novel which includes some of Sakura’s feats as well.
Boomstick: That makes sense. Controlling 100 despair mascots is very different in comparisons to only controlling 1 at a time I gueAHHHHHHHHHHH! Stop zapping me!
Monokuma: Talk about me! Don’t bore me with descriptions of the insignificant extras of this franchise. I am the star and the most polar of all bears.
Wiz: That’s actually a good idea because we have actually only talked about arguably the most common and recognizable Monokuma unit. There are plenty more Monokumas to analyze who differs quiet a lot from the original. First up is the human sized Monokumas that serve as a template for the rest of the different Monokuma versions.
Boomstick: These basic Monokumas might not have any special gimmicks like the later ones but seeing as they can still kill a normal person with just one slash of their claws or tear through metal with ease; bigger in this case certainly means much more murderous fun for our bear overlord. They can also use their eyes to analyzes the name, age, distance, velocity, and heart rate of opponents, become the masters of hide and seek when using his color scheme to blend into black and white backgrounds, and…………….. have rocket thrusters in their rear that are powerful enough to send them flying into space? Did I read this correctly?
Wiz: Correct Boomstick for the most part. The rocket thrusters are in their tails however. I find the Ball Monokumas much more peculiar because of their not very practical design. Their huge round size should make it impossible for them to even move an inch. Its attacks are also very peculiar.
Boomstick: Having rocket engines in their behinds is much weirder than a Monokuma using its fat round body to turn enemies into roadkill or spit trash in their faces. Some of the more cooler looking Monokuma variants are Guard and Destroyer Monokumas. Being dressed as a SWAT police using a Riot shield to play captain America with and having a jetpack and flamethrower in their possession to barbecue innocent victims respectively are much more threating badass designs.
Wiz: Some other notable Monokuma units are the Beast Monokumas that walks on all fours and tries to bite enemies in a constant feral state, Junk Monokumas which are monstrous disfigured Monokumas that are very slow but also a lot more durable and stronger than your regular Monokuma, Siren Monokuma who let out a loud signal that summons nearby Monokumas when an enemy is spotted, and Bomber Monokumas that wear a bulletproof vest and throws grenades. When defeated, this Monokuma unit drops all bombs in its arsenal in a last-ditch attempt to kill the enemy.
Boomstick: These Monokuma are not bad but they are all small fries compared to the most powerful of the Monokuma units. When I say small fries, I mean it literally because the next model is the SIZE Of A SKYSCRAPER AND CAN LEVEL BUILDINGS!!! To the Giant Monokumas, we are all ants and as big of a fan that I am of gigantic robots with mighty firepower; I am glad that the little version decided to give us a visit instead of his gigantic brothers.
Monokuma: One of me is enough to cause you two despair but I am starting to get bored again. Maybe I should just leave and give you back your show and all its benefits?
Boomstick: Really?
Monokuma: Of course not stupid! Did I just turn your hope of escape into endless despair? Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Wiz: Getting back on track with the analysis, there is one more type of Monokuma to talk about and that would be Big Bang Monokuma. The name might be a little silly but don’t be fooled. This gigantic Monokuma is one of a kind in terms of power.
Boomstick: It’s basically a Giant Monokuma unit dressed as a king so it looks really goofy looking too. Its strength and speed make up for that goofiness however as it can destroy armies of regular Monokumas in a matter of seconds. The special attacks it can perform with its giant scepter include using it to smash people into bloody lumps of meat, zap them senseless with electricity, or summon Mega Monokuma Bombs that home in on the opponent. The one who made all these killer bear monstrosities must be really messed up to come up with something like this.
Wiz: Agreed but this is where the most important aspect of Monokuma comes into the picture which is the person behind the scenes guiding the bears action. It is also the most difficult to analyze because of the fact that the mastermind is arguably more than just one person. Of all these masterminds however, Junko Enoshima is the most infamous and influential.
Boomstick: The ultimate Fashionista is the big bad villain? That does not sound right.
Wiz: Appearances can be deceiving Boomstick. The title of Ultimate Fashionista is actually a cover for her true ultimate talent; the ultimate Analyst. Junko in reality is an insane girl obsessed with spreading despair all over the world. Children killing their parents, suicides, self-harm, friends trying to murder each other, and herself killing her own sister causes insane amounts of pleasure to flow through Junko every time it happens.
Boomstick: That girl sounds utterly terrifying and now it makes sense how she got an almost equally insane child to help her build an army of despair loving mascots of Junko’s own design. Monaca Towa had always been a creepy child but she became even worse after meeting Junko and started to idolize one of the worst role models in human history. The fact that this little girl was the Head of Towa Group's robotics division was the cheery on top for the busty analyst.
Wiz: It should be no surprise that Junko managed to plow the world into chaos. With an army given out to the analyst and her followers from her child robotics expert, Monokuma became an icon of fear. Junko even created an AI of herself and placed it inside one of her despairing Monokumas so that even if she ever perished and gets to feel the despair of death; the killing game may begin anew once again.
Boomstick: That explains a lot. Monokuma is basically Junko’s personality in a stuffed robotic animal. Being sarcastic, loving dark humor and annoying bear puns, and having a few screws loose is what the bear inherited from his busty mama. The best thing he inherited though was probably the ultimate Analyst ability which allows the bear to analyze everything around him with superhuman speed and memorization to the point of predicting correctly how events will go down in the future. It also assists in gaining new skills like how Junko perfected a method to erase specific memories after stealing her childhood friend Yasuke Matsuda's research.
Monokuma: Having a few screws loose? I will have you know that I am beary sane. I only took over the world and tricked little Towa and her friends into going on a killing spree against adults. People do worse things than this all the time.
Wiz: Ignoring that cringeworthy bear pun, the Junko AI eventually would manage to infect the virtual world of the Neo World Program where it gained unimaginable control to the point that it could control the weather, create deadly diseases, and have unlimited copies of himself to mess with the people stuck inside the program as they were forced into a killing game. All of this craziness pales in comparison to the meta narrative of the final mastermind we have to talk about.
Boomstick: Prepare to feel the 4th wall break all around you because the meta is strong with this one. Get this! In a world very similar to our own where Danganronpa is also a big videogame franchise, it became so popular that the team behind it decided to make the game real by literally creating around 50 real life death games, sci-fi memory replacing flashback lights, and even an AI controlled Monokuma that is just as annoying and dangerous as the original one. That people willingly allow themselves to have their memories replaced with fake ones to participate in a death game is bonkers to me.
Wiz: The power of fiction is indeed sometimes much more terrifying than the darkest sciences. In these real-life killing games, Monokuma has the same personality as always along with some new toys to play with. These include the Monokuma making machine Motherkuma, microscopic Nanokumas for spying, and mobile and bipedal powerful mechs called Exisals. Armed with guns and superhuman speed, Monokuma can pilot one of these mechs or set them on auto pilot.
Boomstick: These mechs definitely came in handy when fighting the ultimate Robot K1-B0. How they managed to create a human like robot with a robophobia complex is beyond me. Can’t really fault the final product though as this robot can zip around with such extreme speeds that he leaves behind an afterimage and create huge building-size explosions with his mega buster rip-off arm cannon.
Wiz: Because each mastermind or AI being in control of Monokuma all have different traps, mechs, and weapons, it is extremely hard to analyze at first glance what should and shouldn’t be used in a death battle with the only arguable exceptions being Monaca and Junko due to their close connection. At closer inspection however, they all have a lot of similarities to each other to the point that some of their arsenal wouldn’t be that strange in another’s possession. Many weapons and Monokuma variants like the ones Monaca built and the ones used by the AI in the real-life killing games for example wouldn’t be that out place being used by the other. Monokuma’s many feats and personality traits are also all similar enough that most versions of him should be able to accomplish the same thing. Being able to fight Sakura, Akane, and K1-B0 is proof of this.
Boomstick: If Mono starts to play reality warper like he did in the Neo World program however, I will be calling foul since some of the stuff he did inside there is way out of his league outside of the virtual world. In a nutshell however, Junko in some form is always going to be the catalyst of all evil things in this universe. The girl really is like an evil sexy cockroach that refuses to go away no matter how many times she is squished.
Monokuma: Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu! No matter how many times the audience complains and groans about it, Junko Enoshima will always be the mastermind! Why do you ask? Your despair of course! Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Wiz: Regardless of whether he is an AI or controlled by either Junko or Monaca, Monokuma is a very advanced machine that reigns as the most dangerous villain of the Danganronpa universe with all his tech weapons and versions of himself. No machine is perfect though and Monokuma is no different as there are several weaknesses that hamper the robot at every turn.
Boomstick: ……………….You really shouldn’t have said that Wiz. If he turns mad and blows us up, I will so make your afterlife a living hell.
Monokuma: Weaknesses? Do tell me about what weaknesses I possess? EXPLAIN YOURSELF! I HAVE NO FAULTS! I AM PERBEACT! GIVE ME PROOF!
Wiz: Being easily susceptible to being hacked is not something that makes you perfect. Neither is having your red eye as a huge weak point. Most Monokuma units will short-circuit after taking damage to the right eye. These are not good weaknesses to have because while Monokuma always have an army of spares to replace him; destroying all of them would effectively kill the mascot of Danganronpa. This is important as students have destroyed copies of him in the past with nothing but baseball bats and iron bars. There is also the fact that while having Junko’s personality and mind might be a huge advantage for the bear of despair; it also means he has all of her weaknesses as well like allowing his love for despair to cloud his judgement and purposely leave himself open whether he realizes it or not.
Boomstick: Shut up Wiz! Do you want to be exploded into tons of bloody pieces?
Wiz: I don’t want that but despite being stuck in this bears despairfull grasp; we still have a job to do. I have to mention the fact that despite being speedy enough to subdue the Ultimate solider; that feat is not exactly as impressive when you look a little closer at it. It was only thanks to Mukuro being Junko’s sister and therefore knowing a lot of her insecurities that allowed the group to disrupt the soldier’s concentration and dogpile onto her. This is significant as time seems to stand still all around Mukuro when in battle mode. Without knowing how to disrupt a concentration such as this beforehand, the Monokuma army would not have been able to take down the ultimate solider this easily.
Monokuma: That’s correct! Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu! Startling Muku with the sound of Makotos voice was such a despairfull idea.
Boomstick: Huh? Why aren’t you getting mad and explosion happy right about now? I am not complaining since I very much wants to live but that creepy grin of yours is getting on my nerves.
Monokuma. Why should I punish you exactly? You gave me good evidence after all. On a better note, I have decided that this analysis of yours truly has been adequate enough that you won’t be punished…..
Wiz: I don’t even need my lying detector invention to know that you’re up to no good. There is no way you are going to let us go after going through so much effort of arranging this.
Boomstick: The bear gets bored easily so maybe he is truthfully considering to let……
Monokuma: ….until after the fight itself. Extending the time until your punishment will increase your sense of despair and that is a huge plus in my opinion. You better make me win or your punishment will evolve into a super Saiyan black and white punishment. Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Boomstick: Be glad that I left my trusty shotgun at home today. Otherwise, I would have turned you into scraAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Wiz: I hate it when I am right. Monokuma is beyond our understanding. He only knows despair and will do anything to make everyone else feel the same. There truly exist no other creature that deserve to be the mascot of the deadly twists and turns of Danganronpa.
Monokuma: Let's give it everything we've got! IT'S... PUNISHMENT TIIIME!
Intermission[]
Wiz: All right, the combatants are set, it's time to end this debate once and for all!
Boomstick: It's time for a DEATH BATTLE!
Death Battle![]
Unknown Location in Japan:
When Mukuro Ikusaba opened her eyes slowly, the sight that greeted her was one she did not expect.
Her sight was a bit blurry for some reason but it was still enough to realize she was no longer inside Hope's Peak Academy. She was instead inside what looked like a giant cave that went on for miles in every direction. If Mukuro had to guess, her current location had to be some sort of cave system. As for how she had gotten here was unknown to her for now.
The cave was not empty however as Mukuros blurry sight could make out human-shaped blurs walking around her. A majority of the shapes sounded unfamiliar to her. Some of them both looked and sounded familiar however. One human blur in particular stood out in her mind. That particular shape was moving towards her and when it got close enough for Mukuro make out who it was; the Ultimate soldiers eyes widened in shock.
In front of her stood her long-time crush Makoto Naegi and by the way he was looking at her; he had all his memories back. That had to be reason as there would be no way otherwise why he was smiling down at her with that hopeful expression of his. Regaining his memories should be impossible though. Perhaps this was all a wonderful dream made up by her mind. Maybe she was still asle……
Makoto Naegi: You’re finally awake Mukuro! I was so worried. I don’t know what would have happened to you if he had not intervened.
Hearing her name coming out of his lips along with her right hand being held gently by him made a furious blush appear on the ultimate soldier’s face. This had to be a dream even if it didn’t feel like one. The warmth of his hand holding hers was too real to be a simple dream. There had to be a reason for all of this. Was she dead? Was this heaven? How on Earth could she have arrived in heaven after being pierc……… Wait a secod………..She was pierced by multiple spears?
All memories of the last few hours returned all at once as Mukuro raised her head and saw the bandages around her stomach. The pain of being pierced by the Spears of Gungnir. The feeling of being betrayed by her dear sister. The realization that Junko had no further use of her. Makoto’s presence was totally forgotten as Mukuro started to hyperventilate and shake uncontrollably. Her now being aware that many of the familiar shapes from before being her other classmates didn’t make things any better.
Had the Future Foundation managed to break into the school? Had they abducted and healed her only to torture her later? Why was Makoto acting so nice when he surely had to know the truth now? Would her classmates try to kill her? Does she even care about what’s going to happen to herself anymore? Where was Jun…………?
A sudden yellow tentacles-shaped appendage touching her forehead caused Mukuros restless thoughts to disappear. The touch was gentle and for some reason made her calm down enough to realize Makoto being in her close proximity again. A blush reappeared on Mukuros face as she realized this and saw the source of the tentacle. What her eyes made contact with was a smile too similar to Monokuma for the ultimate soldiers liking.
?????: There is no need to freak out Miss Ikusaba. You are safe here among your classmates and my students. Those friends of yours with the exception of the boy beside you are still a little wary but are more than willing to listen to your side of the story when you are able. It feels nice doesn’t it? Having friends that can understand one’s secret plight is a sign of friendship for life.
Each word that came out of that disturbing yellow smiley face calmed Mukuros nerves for reasons she didn’t understand herself. Perhaps it was due to the voice full of kindness coming out of a smile that reminded her of Junko instead of despair-inducing insults. Even if she did not fully understand why, Mukuro felt herself calm down and about to fall into a peaceful unconsciousness. The ultimate solider did not even realize that she instinctually put her head on Makoto’s lap as she fell asleep.
The last thing she heard before traveling to the world of peaceful dreams for once was the owner of the tentacle chuckling to himself before turning around to address a boy with blue hair standing beside a green haired girl.
?????: Don’t worry about you sister Miss Ikusaba. A teacher takes care of anyone they consider their student. It does not matter if the students are troubled or not as a good teacher’s job is to help them in any way they can. You may just have joined my class but that does not mean that you’re an exception to the rule. I look forward to “educating” your sister as well. I have a feeling she will be interesting to tutor. NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF!
With that said, the strange yellow figure disappeared to her classmate’s surprise and the rest of the caves inhabitant’s indifference. Mukuro herself did not notice this as darkness took over her vision unaware of the conflict that was about to take place.
Kunugigaoka Junior High School:
In what had once been the great Kunugigaoka Junior High School, mechanical footsteps could be heard echoing throughout the empty building. The source of these footsteps could be seen walking down one of the abandoned hallways towards the principal’s office. The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History had caused everyone to abandon the school when it occurred so the intruder did not have to worry about being spotted.
The door to what had been Principal Gakuho Asano’s office suddenly being sliced in two announced to the rooms inexistent inhabitants that the intruder had finally arrived at his destination. Walking inside the room was a small black and white robotic teddy-bear. Anyone unaware of the evil inside this bear would have laughed at this sight. Those who knew the truth however would have started running the moment they laid eyes on him.
Monokuma, the bear of despair and misery, had arrived at Kunugigaoka Junior High and he was both happy and unhappy with the situation he was currently in.
Monokuma: Where are you my beloved students? Skipping school this early in the school year is not allowed. Such behavior deserves punishment! Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
What sounded like a happy laugh hid the true feelings of the person controlling the bear from afar. Had the voice modulator of the bear malfunctioned for a second, a girl’s voice sounding aroused would have been heard instead.
Sitting in a high-tech control center inside Hope's Peak far far away from Kunugigaoka was Junko Enoshima; the Ultimate Despair AKA the Ultimate Analyst. Her eyes were seeing everything Monokuma was seeing as she controlled the bear to walk forward. All four of their combined eyes analyzed the entire room for just a few seconds before they found what they had been looking for.
A familiar tracking device rested on the principal’s desk. More specifically, it was Mukuros tracking device that her sister had implanted in her months ago. Whoever had rescued her poor excuse for a big sister and abducted the rest of the students right in front of its eyes was proving to be a worthy opponent. Junko’s Ultimate Analyst brain was still trying to figure out how her dear classmates had simply disappeared into nothingness in front of Monokuma’s eyes.
Whoever the culprit was had to be extremely skilled to have done this and remove Mukus tracker to trick her into sending her agent of despair to this location of all places. Monokuma let out an evil chuckle at thought of causing its new adversary despair in the most despair-inducing ways.
Monokuma: Seems like my disappointment of a sister isn’t here eh? Muku can’t stop being a disappointment can she? It might not be her fault for once but she still disappoints me in a way regardless of what she does. I hope being kidnaped is causing her enormous amounts of despair. I know this entire situation is doing that to me. An unknown assailant running my perfectly planned killing game is so despairingly exciting.
?????: That’s not a very nice way to describe your sister when she can’t hear you.
A voice suddenly appearing out of nowhere only increased the bears maniacal laughter. If the culprit was already present, that just saved it the time to find them and make them full of despair. The strange appearance of the new arrival did make Junko raise an eyebrow though. What it did after appearing out of nowhere only increased this state of confusion.
?????: Are you impressed yet? You are in the presence of the all-powerful creature thaAAAAAHHHHHHH!
Korosensei, the supposed creature that destroyed part of the moon and current home-room teacher of class 3-E, let out a girlish yell as his attempt at a cool entrance failed. Performing juggling tricks involving books while hanging onto the celling lamp had sounded much better in his head. How could he have known that the roof couldn’t hold his weight causing a piece of it and him to fall headfirst into the principal’s desk.
It was as he got up from the floor that the former top assassin caught his first glimpse of the infamous bear he had heard so much about from the news and the students he had rescued. Causing the entire world to go into disarray had to be praised regardless of the horrific methods used to make this into reality. Teaching this kind of behavior out of the bear and the girl controlling him was going to be fun. Koro would have tried to do something about this sooner if it hadn’t been for his darling students needing his full attention first.
Junko’s confused feelings turned into ecstasy of despair as a crazed look appeared in her eyes. An octopus capable of enough speed to enter this small office undetected was not something she would ever have been able to predict. The thought of how this creature could destroy her entire plan and what other tricks other than speed could be unleashed upon her caused the Ultimate Despair to almost faint before she regained her senses. An sarcastic comment was spoken by Monokuma not long after as it looked up at his strange foe.
Monokuma: So many large tentacles you have Octodad rip-off. I think someone here is compensating for having a particular small thing and it definitely isn’t me.
Seems like a lesson in humor was not needed in the near future. Making the jokes less crude was in a desperate need to taught however. The bear hadn’t introduced itself properly either so Koro proceeded to show how it was supposed to be done.
Korosensei: I am the one that blew up the m……
The antimatter octopus stopped in his tracks and shaked his head embarrassingly as he started his introduction from the beginning again. Monokuma simply observed this. It was preoccupied with analyzing Korosensei from top to bottom.
Korosensei: Opps! Wrong introduction. Was feeling a little nostalgic for a moment. I am the one that transferred your students to my class. You will soon join them as well after a little private tutoring from me. Don’t worry Miss Enoshima. I take good care of my students whether they are new or old. You may call me what my students call me; Korosensei.
Any normal person would have not been able to notice the robotic bears sudden blink or you miss it expression when hearing Junko’s name but Koro was not normal by any means. He chuckled to himself as this happened. Seems like his theory of who was behind this world-covering event had been correct. It hadn’t been that hard to figure out based on what on the information gained from the students he had rescued after helping them regain their memories.
Monokuma: Junko? I am not a Junko silly. I am a bear. I am Monokuma; the Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy.
Figuring out that the octopus probably knew a lot of information about them based on him knowing her name didn’t really affect Junko and Monokuma for more than a second. Regardless of whatever tricks he has in his possession, Monokuma would be the despairfull winner in the end.
Korosensei: If that is the name you wish to go by Miss Enoshima, I shall honor your wish for now. I am glad to finally meet the infamous Monokuma that I have heard so much about. I can’t say I am a fan of your teachings though my fellow black and white educator.
Monokuma: Being a teacher does not make you immune to the consequences of breaking the rules. Transferring a group of students without the headmaster’s approval is against the rules. It seems like its punishment time for you Mr Octopus.
Immediately after having finished his sentence, Monokuma found itself face to face with a large number of sweets that had not been present earlier. It was indeed looking like the drooling octopus currently looking down on this heap of sweets was capable of impossible speeds.
Korosensei: Punishment time sounds fun but would you rather not have a snack eating competition instead? I am starving and I did not bring all these snacks here to bribe you or anything such as that.
Monokuma: Tempting but trying to bribe the headmaster is a big no no. I am going to enjoy making you despair as I force you to tell me where my students are.
It was an expected answer so Korosensei wasn’t to disappointed by the rejection. He would just have to eat all these delicious treats later. Perhaps the one controlling Monokuma would be more inclined to agree once they had run out of ways to assassinate him. It was no doubt trying to analyze him and come up with ways to get around his speed by now.
Such intelligence and bloodlust should be used for so much better things than simply being used to destroy the world in a sense. The testimonies from the students, his own quick research into the past of the so-called despair sisters, and the way the Ikusaba had acted when waking up momentarily had not painted a nice picture in Koros mind. Both girls along with their classmates needed serious help and he would be the sensei to do just this.
Perhaps he should have taken Enoshima with him along with the rest when he broke into the academy previously? On second thought, that would not have been the smartest action. This little fight that was about to happen was necessary for what the octopus had planned next. Of course, there was also the fact that Korosensei wanted to see his future student’s capabilities firsthand than simply just hearing about it from someone else.
Korosensei: I look forward to this assassination attempt of yours Monokuma. Let’s see if you can do any better than your future classmates. This tutoring season starts now. NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF!
Monokuma: Assassination attempt? That sounds too boring. I have something much more hilarious in mind Prepare to be desbeared! Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Monokuma raised its claws and prepared to charge forward as Koro simply stood at the other side of the room with a cheshire grin plastered on his face. The battle between the bear of despair and unkillable teacher was about to begin.
FIGHT!
With a mighty jump forward, Monokuma lunged at Korosensei who immediately disappeared from the bears view and reappeared where Monokuma had been standing moments prior. This did not slow down the despair bear at all as it simply spun around in the air to make itself able to bounce of the window and lung towards Korosensei again. Monokuma started to laugh as its arms stated to ignite themselves.
Monokuma: I call upon humanity’s greatest weapon to strike you down AKA the power of memes and anime.
A flaming barrage of punches traveled towards Koro who decided to stay his ground this time instead of evading the incoming punches. If the bear wanted to engage in a reference battle, the teacher of Class 3-E had no objection. In fact, Koro also wanted to play this game so he disappeared and reappeared dressed in something other than academic robes a couple of seconds before Monokuma’s attack reached him.
Monokuma: ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!
Korosensei: AHTATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!
Every punch was blocked with great precision by Koros tentacles so Monokuma proceeded to cancel the clash and jump backwards to come up with a new plan. That was when it noticed his opponent’s new appearance and what he saw made the robot mad.
Monokuma: Hey! Stop stealing my schtick! I am the only one allowed to reference pop-culture nonstop. Get your own thing!
Korosensei was dressed as Kenshirō from Fist of the North Star to the bears annoyance What made him ever more annoyed was the fact that the octopus had somehow dressed him as Jotaro Kujo. Seems like the opponent also had some decent anime knowledge.
Korosensei: You don’t want a lesson concerning these fine pieces of art? I have another option ready that you might like better then.
Monokuma: I have a better idea. Let me teach you how wonderful despair is instead.
The octopus changed back to his usual dress code with the only difference being him wearing a Naruto headband while the right paw of the mechanical bear transformed into an arm-canon. A blast of energy traveled out of the arm-cannon towards Korosensei who dodged out of the way. Instead of hitting its target, the energy blast disappeared down the hallway outside the principal’s office after blasting a hole in the wall.
Korosensei: Can’t say I approve of behavior such as this. I know the principal of this school wouldn’t either.
In response to this, Monokuma quickly jumped out of the hole in the wall before starting to spray energy blasts in every direction while laughing maniacally.
Monokuma: UpUpUpUpUpUp! Who cares about some old boring principal’s opinion? I am the Headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy and I look forward to seeing that guys despair once he sees the destruction of his school.
Every blast mark and destroyed area of the building was back to normal only a couple of seconds later as Koro approached all the places where the energy blasts had connected and undid the damage in a quick and clean fashion. A lesson in school etiquette was in order once the bear had run out of assassination attempts in Korosenseis opinion.
Monokuma continued to laugh maniacally as he continued to blast the corridor around him with no signs of stopping. The laughter was hiding the fact however that the bear was analyzing all of Koros behavior as it shoot up the place including how the octopus avoided a sprinkler that accidentally turned on or how the poster of a beautiful lady plastered on a locker momentarily distracted him.
That laughter soon decreased in volume as the bear noticed Korosensei picking up a broken crayon from the ground. What happened next resulted in the arm-cannon blowing up from the inside.
Korosensei: Seems like something got stuck inside that nice weapon of yours. I do wonder who was responsible for throwing that crayon into the barrel of your nifty weapon.
Holding a sign stating “I did not throw a crayon into your arm-cannon with such precision that resulted in its destruction”, Koro approached the momentarily stunned Monokuma and ensnared it with his tentacles preventing movement of any kind. The mechanical bears remaining functioning arm tried to swipe at the incoming tentacles only to notice something that both infuriated Junko and filled her with enormous of amounts of despair all at the same from where she was sitting behind the control panel.
Monokuma: HEY! Ensnaring the headmaster along with cutting my beautiful claws is a school regulation violation. You will regret this action of yours octopus man.
Where had once been sharp claws was now nothing more than melted remains courtesy of Korosenseis body dissolving them during their clash of claws vs tentacles anime showdown.
Korosensei: NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF! You are very strong but such normal methods won’t work on me I am afraid. My students have come up with much more imaginative attempts on my life than this.
Monokuma: ………………………………………………………
The sudden silence coming out from Monokuma that was then quickly replaced by a ticking sound did not take Korosensei by surprise at all. His smell was too good not to notice the small bomb inside the mechanical bear. Before it could explode, the closet window was dragged open by one of the octopus tentacles from which the bear was thrown out of and into the sky. The resulting explosion went off with a large bang harmlessly above the school.
Korosensei: Clever but you have to do better than simply using a bomb. Be more creative my future student. Thanks for creating masterful fireworks though.
A new Monokuma appearing and trying to slice him from behind was all that Korosensei needed to know to figure out his opponents answer. He dodged the attack and reappeared further down the hallway ready for the next onslaught of attacks the E-Class teacher knew was coming.
All the various lockers and classroom doors opening all around him proved the octopus correct in his suspicions. His nose again proved to be infallible. There was indeed not just one single Monokuma roaming the halls of Kunugigaoka.
Monokuma: Puuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Maniacally laughing robotic bears sporting a vast array of weapons came lunging out of their hiding places all around the hallway. One jumping out of a classroom held a flamethrower in his paws while another that crashed through the roof was juggling pieces of dynamite. Two that came charging out of a locker proceed to spray the octopus with bullets from a couple AR-15 rifles. The Monokuma that had tried to attack Korosensei by the window was walking down the hallway chuckling to itself as all this happened.
Monokuma: Surprised? Death can’t keep me down sucker. I am cute and recyclable after all.
All the bullets, flames, and explosives were dodged with no effort by Korosensei but unfortunately for him; he was not their true target. The true aim had been to hit the sprinklers all around the octopus. A slightly terrified expression appeared on Koros face as water sprinkled down all around him trapping the antimatter octopus in a cage of water of sorts. Seeing this caused all the mechanical bears to chuckle before continuing their assault.
Junko grinned at the sight of this as well. Her theory of the octopus being afraid of water had turned out to be correct. Sending a group of Monokumas to Kunugigaoka instead of just a single one had turned out to be a smart decision on her part. Hopefully her opponent would fall into despair soon. The ultimate analyst’s lips watered at the thought.
Monokuma: An octopus that does not like water? That’s just sad and pathetic. Can you feel despair set in your very soul yet? I did say that you would regret getting your sticky appendages all over my hot and sweaty body.
As he was dodging all the projectiles traveling towards him, Korosensei couldn’t help but admire the group of bears effort to corner him. Trapping him between a collection of sprinklers had been a clever idea on their part. Him having less space to move made it somewhat difficult to avoid the incoming projectiles. It was definitely an improvement from before. Wonder if Enoshima and the Monokumas were ready for what was about to happen next however?
Korosensei: Such a potty mouth you have my future student. I think you and Okajima could become good friends with some refinement on your part with my help. Speaking of your latest assassination attempt however, it is your best yet. You did make a large mistake however.
The Monokumas had to stop their barrage of attacks as they felt some of their internal machinery act up slightly due to Koro suddenly letting out a loud screech. Powerful soundwaves were sent in every direction destroying the concrete in the walls around them slightly. Some of the sprinklers were put out of commission due to this. Not all of them stopped working but Koro did not mind this at all as he speed out of what remained of the sprinkler cage confident that his mucus would make sure that his tentacles didn’t swell up.
Before the mechanical bears could get back their bearings, all of their weapons disappeared out of their paws and were replaced with rulers and pencils instead. Less than a second later, the Monokuma farthest away from the others became entrapped in Koros tentacles just like the one from before had been.
Korosensei: Just because I can’t swim along with the fact that water makes my tentacles swell up does not mean I don’t have a way around this. A good teacher is well-aware of their own weaknesses. Do you have a way around your own flaws Monokuma?
Monokuma: Weakness? What are you planning to do to me with those tentacles? I am still an innocent fair lady you know. I am a beary vi……….
The last thing the Monokuma managed to see before being impaled in the right eye was its brethren of robotic bears being in the same position as it; trapped in the grasp of a speed clone of the octopus about to be pierced through in the eye as well.
If they had all been human or an extremely advanced AI like Ritsu, Koro would have felt a little bad about committing such destruction. Behavior such as this being too much of a reminder of his past was also a major factor. Luckily enough, all these robot bears were remote controlled so there was no need to feel too bad about this. It was not as if he was seriously harming his next student to join the E-Class with this little dance of mechanical deaths.
Parts of Monokuma machinery laid everywhere and Korosensei would have liked to take a closer look at these marvelous pieces of technology if it weren’t for 50 small unsignificant things that he heard igniting their arm-cannons above him. By exiting outside through the nearest window, the teacher avoided the barrage of energy blasts that came raining down through the roof.
What Korosensei laid his sight on upon exiting the school building and landing on the ground was a group of around 50 Monokumas standing on the concrete roof about to release another barrage of energy blasts.
Korosensei: Haven’t you learned your lesson yet Mr Monokuma? Sneaking up on me being impossible is something you should have figured out by now with your impressive intellect.
Maniacal laughter emanating from all the Monokumas made it apparent that the bears and their controller from behind the scenes had not forgotten this and had come up with another nasty scheme to set into motion. If physical attacks had no effect, perhaps attacks of the mental variety could prove more effective? Monokuma could not wait to find out so all the robotic bears of despair answered their opponent with a smug smile on their faces.
Monokuma: UpUpUpUpUpUp! Your senses are obviously too OP for me to overcome right? I have no doubt that is what you are thinking. Too bad for you, I am Saiyan bear OP too. Time to unleash my ultimate despairful attack.
What followed was a barrage of insults and mockeries that could be heard for miles in every direction due to all the Monokumas shouting together in unison.
Monokuma: Fatso! Pervert Octopus! Emoji face! Worst Teacher in Human History! Naughty magazine collector!
The effects this had on their opponents appeared right away to the bear’s delight. Koros face turned red in anger as he let out a petty scream full of excuses.
Korosensei: How dare you call me fat? I will have you know that I am on a diet thank you very much. There is also no proof of my more adult interests. No one has found my secret hideout full of magazines filled with………….Forget that last part. I don’t know what came over me.
Letting his emotions go out of control for just a couple of moments created an opening that the Monokumas homed in on the moment they noticed the octopus speed decrease a tiny bit. One energy blast managed to collide with one of Korosenseis tentacles despite his attempt to dodge it. The rest didn’t hit their target but the message was still crystal clear; Psychological attacks was the way to go to the Monokumas pleasure. What a funny day filled with despair this was starting to become.
It seems like his opponents were getting a bit too bold for their own good. This was what was going through Korosenseis mind as the army of murder bears lunged off the roof towards him. It was perhaps time to unleash some of his more creative techniques.
Korosensei: It seems like there are some gossiping white and black flies buzzing around me at the moment. Luckily for me, there is a windy storm incoming to send these annoying gnats away.
Powerful winds swept through the area as Korosensei spun himself around with such speed and power that a small tornado started to form around him. The Monokumas deadly lunge got stopped as they were flung up into the sky and spun around helplessly inside the tornado. Loud insults could still be heard from within their speakers however.
Monokuma: Thanks for the fresh air. My fine fur makes this a rather relaxing situation. Can’t say the same for you tentacles. Get stung to death by that Cage actor’s worst nightmare you filthy degenerate octopus!
Swarms of robotic insects came flying out of the various revolvers that the Monokumas had equipped themselves with from a hidden compartment located on their stomachs. None of the insects reached their targets due to the powerful gusts of winds breaking them apart but this did not bother the Monokumas at all. They in fact started to chuckle evilly which Korosensei soon joined in as well with a chuckle of his own.
The white and black teddy bears were chuckling due to what they knew had almost reached their location. The antimatter octopus chuckled in anticipation due to what his eyes was sighting in the distance approaching the giant tornado by air.
Korosensei: NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF! Now this is a very interesting assassination attempt. I can tell you with certainty that no one has tried this method before. Let’s see how successful it is shall we.
As another swarm of robotic insects were unleashed from the helpless Monokumas hovering in the air, a Helicopter arrived at the scene and placed itself above the powerful gusts of wind. What it had hanging from a hook connected to the vehicle was something large, metallic, and most importantly destructive.
Monokuma: Time to commence Operation Despair Drop. Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
With the click of a button from the Monokuma driving the helicopter, the Exisal, one of Monaca’s newest finest weapons of mass destruction in Junko’s opinion, was detached from the bottom of the vehicle. Korosensei increased his spinning to make it more difficult for the mech to reach him. This proved unsuccessful as the sheer strength and weight of the Exisal made it fall like a rock through the tornado of harsh winds without any sign of stopping. With a mechanical fist raised, The Exisal sent out a powerful punch towards the octopus as it neared the ground.
A huge cloud of dust shoot up into the air when the Exisal’s mechanical right arm slammed into its opponent. When the dust settled, the tornado disappeared in an instant causing all the Monokumas to fall to the ground screeching. Some Monokumas fell headfirst into the ground and went offline while others managed to slow down their fall to an extent by equipping their fake wings at the last second.
All the ones that survived the fall proceeded to laugh at the misfortunate of their brethren. Misfortune happening to others was always fun to watch regardless of whether they were human or fellow bears. The Monokuma operating the Exisal was laughing as well but at the fact that all that remained of his octopus of an opponent was a large hole in the ground.
Monokuma: That was it? This is a surprisingly boring ending for such a weird creature. I didn’t even need to turn into a super saiyan god super Monokuma. So disappointing but also so very despair-induc………
Something tapping the Monokuma on the shoulder alerted the bears that they really should not have celebrated their victory yet. The last thing the one is the Exisal saw before going offline was the hatch to the mech being open and a tentacle about impale one of its eyes. Several tentacles shoot out of the ground not long after and did the same thing to the rest of the surviving despair bears.
Korosensei: I guess this is enough for now. Time to put the final nail in the greatest plan ever to come into fruition AKA my flawless plan. NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF!
That was the last thing Junko managed to make out before Korosensei flew up into the air and took out the Monokuma trying to escape in its Helicopter. All the Monokumas that had been sent to Kunugigaoka were now utterly wrecked all over the school grounds to both Junko’s annoyance and pleasure.
Korosensei looked down at all the fallen Monokumas with green stripes covering his face as he laughed loudly. The time had finally come. The reason for allowing this little encounter to happen had come into fruition and his nose had finally caught onto the scent he had been searching for. Only one more stop to go before he could go and collect Enoshima.
As Koro took off zooming through the air towards an unknown destination, Junko typed something furiously onto the keyboard in front of her. Not long after, a live feed of a green haired little girl in a wheelchair appeared in front of the Ultimate Despair.
Junko Enoshima: Could you be a dear and send me tons of more Monokumas? I accidentally destroyed a couple of mine which was not my fault in any way. Some big yellow dummy made all of those Mr Monokumas go bye-bye. Send your newest models please. I am already bored with the others you sent me earlier.
Of all the people working directly under her, Monaca Towa was definitely Junko’s favorite. There would be no Monokumas running around causing despair without the wheelchaired girl’s assistance after all. Didn’t mean that she would get sad at all if the young girl went and got herself killed. That happening would fill both of them with so much despair that Junko couldn’t help but wish for it to happen this instant.
Monaca Towa: Ok Big Sis Junko. I have a question though. Why do you need more Mr Monokumas when I already sent you tons of them earlier today? Shouldn’t one of them in particular already be enough to rain down some despairing punishment on that dummy?
Junko let out a bored sigh at that remark from her young minion. She could just send the rest of the Monokumas stationed around Hope's Peak towards Kunugigaoka but that would be no fun. Doing the same thing over and over again was not her style of causing despair. Better to see if Towa had some new toys full of despair to send at that annoying octopus instead.
Junko Enoshima: Stop trying to make my actions sound logical. It makes things less fun.
Monaca Towa: I am sorry Big Sis Jun…………
The loud sound of a gigantic explosion followed by Monaca’s feed going offline seconds afterward made Junko’s eyes widen in surprise. Her wish had seemingly been granted but that was a bad thing wasn’t it? Had someone found Monaca’s hidden Monokuma factory in Towa City? There could only be one culprit behind this. Junko’s Ultimate Analyst talent immediately went to work and came up with the most likely explanation for how this had happened. Her theory was proven true as the live feed went online a few moments later.
Korosenseis smug face covered in green stripes was what greeted the Ultimate Despair instead of the psychotic expression of Monaca when the feed went online.
Korosensei: Don’t worry about Miss Towa. She is simply taking a nap right now along with the other children. Thank you by the way for sending so many Monokumas after me before. It gave me enough time to soak in their smell and find this place. See you in a bit Enoshima. I look forward to meeting you in person.
With a loud chuckle, the feed went offline again. The control center went quiet for a few seconds before a terrifying sound echoed across the room. It was the sound of a laughter full of despair courtesy of Junko Enoshima. This guy was proving to be really interesting. She of all people had been tricked and was now sensing the despair of this feeling coursing through her veins. She had to thank the octopus for this and Junko had the perfect thing to do just that and reacquire her precious classmates.
Monokumas laid in pieces everywhere in what was once a great factory on the other side of the feed. It wasn’t his best work to be fair but Korosensei was certain nobody would be able to use this factory ever again. There would be no more robotic bears created here which meant his plan had turned out successful. With this factory out of commission and the Motherkuma totally destroyed in one corner of the facility, it was time to end this. Future Foundation could take care of the remaining bears roaming around and the poor children in need of some serious therapy as collecting Enoshima and teaching her some manners was more important in the E-Class teacher’s mind.
Zooming out the factory and Towa City in general and into the sky was an easy task for a being such as Korosensei. This entire experience had gone very well all considered. In fact, it had been quiet fun playing around with the Monokumas. Much more healthy fun would be had with Enoshima in his classroom however. The girl probably had a couple more aces up her sleeve however which Korosensei was excited to see in action. What the octopus man saw when closing in on Hope's Peak proved this without the shadow of a doubt.
Korosensei: It looks like you have prepared a welcome bath for me. You really shouldn’t have had to do that. I appreciate the sentiment but I will have to politely decline the offer to take a dip.
Water could be seen flowing from every direction in what had once been the famous campus school-grounds. At the center of this was the main building itself which was pouring out gallons of water every second. Koro had to admit this was a clever idea. Flooding the school along with the area outside of it did make the task of getting to Enoshima a little harder than expected.
The Monokuma sitting in a giant tank firing a couple of shells up towards him did not make it any easier. It was obvious that it had not liked his response.
Monokuma: That’s even more of a reason for you to take a bath mister. I want to see despair on that face of yours. Stop looking so smug already. That smile is almost as good looking as my own however. I am bear enough to admit that.
All of the shells were expertly dodged by the antimatter octopus who then proceeded to quickly fly down and dismantle the entirety of the tank in less than 5 seconds. The Monokuma inside didn’t seem bothered by this as it immediately exploded itself in attempt to take the octopus out. The attempt proved unsuccessful as Korosensei simply flew up into the sky again out of range of the explosion where he made eye contact with a Monokuma standing on top the entire academy.
It was obvious to Korosensei that this Monokuma was a bit different than the rest he had encountered. For one, its various internal mechanics smelled very similar to parts located inside of Ritsu.
Korosensei: You do have a very good-looking smile indeed teddy bear. That advanced AI inside that mechanical body also seems to be working splendidly. Guess miss Enoshima got bored of fighting me herself huh?
It was indeed an Monokuma containing a powerful AI. By the way Monokuma’s face was turning a furious tint of red at the mention of being called a Teddy bear, it was obvious that the bear was beyond furious.
Monokuma (AI): I told you already. The name is Monokuma and I am no teddy bear either. Come out and punish this loser my army of despair.
The entire area around the school fell into shadow as 5 gigantic beings made their appearance all around the flooded school. Four of them looked like regular Monokumas while the last one was dressed like a king with a crown on its head and holding a giant scepter in one of its paws. Around each of the gigantic robots was large groups consisting of various different kinds of Monokuma models walking or hovering besides them.
As the army of Monokumas closed in on the main building, the AI bear let a wicked grin appear on its face. The uneasy expression on the octopus face as he realized he was surrounded was as beautiful as a high-quality paining dripping with despair in the AI bears eyes. Having demanded that pathetic child pretending to be a cripple to send over her best majestic creations much earlier today had been a stroke of genius on Junko’s part. You mess with one Monokuma; You mess with all Monokumas including the very very big brothers.
It was not just the very giant Monokumas that wobbled towards their octopus of an opponent. The entire area was also full of Nanokumas hovering in the air about to film what was about to happen from all angles courtesy of the girl currently eating a large bag of popcorn inside the academy. Junko might have reluctantly allowed her AI to lead this assault but that did not mean she was going to miss all the despair that was about to occur.
Korosensei: NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF! Trying to overwhelm me with numbers again eh? Methods that rely on sheer numbers lack any sort of individual thought but I guess that does not really matter to you all does it since you are under the control of an AI.
Cracking several of his tentacles together in preparation of the fight about to start was what Korosensei did after being caught off-guard for a short moment by the amount of Monokumas. He had smelled a lot being present around the academy but this large amount had even surprised him. If Enoshima and her bears was bringing out their endgame, perhaps it was about time for him to do the same.
Monokuma (AI): Stand still and take your punishment like an octopus if you wish to know the answer to your question. Its Punishment Time! Unleash the Ultimate Punishment!
As the AI Monokuma let out a loud shout that reverberated through the air, the army of robotic bears of despair all quickened their pace and charged at full speed towards their surrounded opponent. The battle of despair bears and unkillable octopuses had finally reached its final phase.
The first group of mechanical bears that reached the octopus consisted of multiple Destroyer Monokumas. With their jetpacks and flamethrowers, they created a fiery cage of death around Korosensei to trap him. The cage was unfortunately for them undone almost immediately as Koros newly created sonic booms caused the flames to vanish into nothingness. Tentacles in the shapes of drills pierced every single one of the Destroyer Monokumas not long afterwards preventing a new cage of fire from being created. As the remains of these bears fell down to the earth, another wave replaced them almost immediately. Their method of flight however was one Koro could not help but chuckle at.
Korosensei: NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF! I have seen many things in my days alive but this has to be one of the most ridiculous ones yet. I have to tip my hat to you my fellow educator for showing me how to fly using one’s bottom.
What happened next caused the E-Class teacher’s eyes to widen and the AI Monokuma’s smile to become more sinister where it was still standing on top of the roof. The reason for this was that instead of piercing the human sized Monokumas flying towards him with his drill tentacles like done previously; the tentacles hit nothing but empty air. All of the Monokumas had dodged them at the last second unlike all the previous mechanical bears that had fallen for a similar assault. The next barrage of tentacles hit their targets however and caused them to explode but that expression of shock was a victory in the bears eyes.
Monokuma (AI): UpUpUpUpUpUp! Seems like I will have the last laugh in this fight you damned octopus. If you think that speed will be enough to take these majestic specimens of bears down, think again. I can be speedy speedy as well. Why didn’t I use this before now you ask? To make you despair at this exact moment silly.
This turn of events took Korosensei by surprise to the point that he didn’t hear something approaching him from behind until it was too late. A Ball Monokuma thrown by one of the gigantic mechanical bears hit him from behind with such force that the antimatter octopus found himself being sent crashing down onto the watery ground below. It was only thanks to grabbing the very round form of the Monokuma thrown at him and using it as a way to cushion his fall that Korosensei prevented himself from touching the water.
Ball Monokumas rolling towards him from every direction alerted Koro to the fact that they were looking for some despair-inducing revenge for using their brethren as a crash cushion. A wave of sonic booms to their right eyes caused them to stop in their tracks and explode but the loss of all these Monokumas was made up for in spades not long after as the rest of the pack of bears finally reached the flooded school. Everything ranging from both the small, human-sized, and giant Monokuma variants to the more advanced ones like the Beast, Junk, and Guard Monokumas prepared to pounce onto their opponent.
Korosensei: Pretending to be much slower than you truly are eh? Fantastic deception on your part. You get an A+ for your efforts. Don’t think you have cornered me yet however. Sensei still has a lot of tricks up his sleeves.
Their attempt to pile onto the octopus failed as Koro flew up high into the air again creating a shockwave of air in the process that pushed the entire group of bears sliding backwards slightly. The sky high above the giant bears was as unsafe as the ground though as an array of Destroyer and rocket propellered Monokumas were waiting for him. On each of their shoulders sat a small Monokuma variant holding a water gun aimed right at the E-Class teacher.
Monokuma (AI): Blast him my fellow beautiful me’s. Make this octopus all hot and wet when you unload your load. Show him that any future tricks of his is no match for the best headmaster of all time.
Water and flames traveled towards Korosensei and despite his attempt to dodge them; some of the water managed to slightly touch 3 of the teacher’s tentacles causing them to swell up greatly. The Monokumas grinned at this. So this was why the annoying octopus hated water eh? Time to see what happens when all of him gets soaked.
A good assassin knows when it’s time to make a strategic retreat and come up with a new plan so Korosensei immediately knew that it was time to make a momentary exit. Unfortunately, that was not possible with his speed decreased and the giant Monokumas trying to box him in the area around the school. Being a top assassin and a super being of Mach 20 had its perks however. Coming up with brilliant plans in quick succession was a specialty of his after all like using a couple of sonic booms to block all incoming projectiles from both the air and the ground before unleashing a high-pitched screech to momentarily stun the army of bears.
An array of multiple hidden tentacles shoot out of the teachers robes towards the various disarrayed Monokumas. Even in this state however, various bears managed to get their bearing back and dodge out of the way while the more durable variants like the Junk and Giant Monokumas barely felt the tentacles colliding with them. This was all just a distraction however which the AI Monokuma realized too late. The true objective had been to rip off the arm-canon arms of as many Monokumas as possible. Seeing as there were currently 10 dismembered arm-canons in the octopus grasp when all the tentacles retracted back towards his green stripped chuckling form, the AI Monokuma did the sensible thing and ran for cover.
Korosensei: Do you mind if I borrow these little toys of yours? You seem to like spamming these things so let’s see how you like it being on the receiving end. NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF!
A barrage of energy blasts rained down on the Monokumas bellow courtesy of Korosensei. The result of this was plenty of robotic bears exploding rapidly all across the flooded school grounds. Even the ones in the sky got turned to shreds by the rapid energy blasts heading towards them. It was not enough to take all of them down however as the giant Monokumas jumped into the air to try and grab the octopus with their giant claws.
The attempt to grab the E-Class teacher failed but it did give the still unharmed AI Monokuma on the roof time to send a command to his brethren that it was time to go ahead with Operation: Naughty Bear. Hopefully this would cause a terrifyingly large amount of despair for the dumb octopus.
Monokuma (AI): Would you like to borrow this laptop of mine as well? A respectable teacher like yourself wouldn’t stoop down to enjoying something like this right?
The sound of one of the Monokumas on the ground calling out to him drew Koros attention momentarily away from the battle. What made his face go slightly pink and caught the teacher’s full attention was not the Monokuma that had come out from behind a group of Guard Monokumas and their shields. It was instead the laptop it was holding in its right paw and more specifically; the video it was playing. Thank goodness his students were not here at the moment. Them finding out about his more “adult” interest could scar them for li……………
All naughty and embarrassing thoughts was swiftly put to an end as Big Bang Monokuma’s giant scepter reached up in the sky and slammed into Koro. The octopus was sent crashing down right into a duo of giant Monokumas who’s paws intercepted Korosensei with such force that he was knocked through the front door of the school and into some lockers that proceeded to pin some of his tentacles to the ground.
Korosensei: Excellent use of exploiting my weaknesses. I guess I deserve this little humiliation for getting distracted while I am trying to help an upcoming student vent out all their negative emotions.
While Korosensei was radiating a confident grin towards the Bomber Monokumas running inside after him, the teacher was inwardly slightly panicking inside his mind. This was turning out much more difficult than expected. Those giants definitely packed strength that he’d rather avoid being peltered by again and the sheer number of bears along with the water he was laying in at the moment wasn’t making the process of getting to Enoshima any easier. Perhaps it was time to recruit some of those bears to his side to even the playing field.
Bombs rained down upon the pinned antimatter octopus creating a large series of explosions that shook the entire school building violently. The only thing that remained of the E-Class teacher was his yellow skin floating in the water. All the Monokumas outside seeing this remained unconvinced of their opponent’s apparent “death” however.
Monokuma: Trying out the pretending to be dead trick again eh? I might love despair a bit too much but I am not stupid enough to fall for this trick twice on the same day. Come out already and try out something new. You’re currently boring the hell out of me and you would not like me when I am angr…. I mean very very bored.
Boredom was suddenly replaced by incredulousness as one of the giant Monokumas punched the nearest very large mechanical bear in the face with such ferocity that its head tore of the main body and fell to the ground.
A large amount of Monokumas was crushed under the weight of the head and many who avoided being turned to mechanical pancakes were kicked into the distance Team Rocket style by the giant bear responsible for this mess. It was at this moment that the AI Monokuma noticed something that made its ever-present smile fade ever so slightly. Someone had hacked and stolen one of its precious mechanical avatars away right under the AI’s non-existent nose.
Monokuma: Hey! What’s the big idea you big lump of metal? No friendly fire allowed unless it amuses me. This isn’t funny however so stop what you are doing this instant.
The uncontrollable giant Monokuma completely ignored the order as it punched the robotic head clean off yet another of its very large brothers. Laughter emanating from the shoulder of the kaiju sized bear made it apparent to the AI Monokuma who was responsible for this.
Korosensei: NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF! Is being attacked by a gigantic image of yourself enough to get you out of your boredom?
Disconnecting this giant from the Monokuma network had been surprisingly easy. Seems like his experience with “helping” Ritsu express herself more naturally had proven itself to be a valuable experience indeed in more ways than first expected. The bears bellow did not seem to share this opinion evident by the more feral-looking ones trying to climb up its body towards him.
Korosensei: You know it is more polite to answer the question instead of attacking the sender? I will have to add a private politeness lesson once this is over as well it seems.
The Beast Monokumas climbing furiously up the giant Monokuma Korosensei was perched on were all turned into scrap thanks to a combination of drill tentacles and sonic booms or the large variety of speed clones that came into being all around the battlefield disassembling every Monokuma in their path. Seeing this attempt to kill the annoying octopus fail spectacularly, the AI Monokuma decided that enough was enough. It was time for Big Bang to show off its true awesomeness full of despair.
Luckily, the most powerful Monokuma variant was still connected to the network and received the order to advance forward. Unfortunately, it was prevented from carrying out this order as the sole other giant Monokuma other than the one the E-Class teacher was standing upon charged into the kingly-dressed bear. Their tumble to the ground caused the entire area to shake and alert the fact that Koro had actually rewritten the code of 2 of the giant Monokuma models instead of just one.
Time to process all these unexpected developments was something the AI-containing Monokuma on the roof was denied as Korosensei appeared in front of it with his infuriating smile. What the AI robot said next was meant to sound defiant and condescending but to Korosensei; it sounded like a sore loser trying to sound tough.
Monokuma: Harming a fellow grizzly me makes my non-existent heart ache. Don’t mistake that for me not being able to do so however. The loss of 4 big brothers is not that big of a deal when I still have 60 handsome me here to revel in your despair.
Korosensei: Is that so? Seems like you will need to be tutored a lot in mathematics as well since it seems like you don’t know how to count.
A zapping sensation followed by all the remaining Monokumas going offline alerted the AI of the fact that its calculation had suddenly become incorrect. The culprit of this was oblivious seeing as green stripes had appeared on the octopus face and one of his tentacles having extended itself down to the ground with an electrical current running through it. The combination of the water-soaked schoolyard, army of robots, and electricity fried the circuits of every single Monokuma in a matter of seconds.
Monokuma: NOOOOO! Not my handsome brothers and sisters! I am filled with despair beyond belief and it feels great. UpUpU………………..!
Junko could not help but feel a little insulted that her opponent didn’t allow her AI to finish its tangent filled with despair before knocking it offline based on what she could make out from the Nanokumas. The feeling quickly subsided and was replaced with an unhealthy obsession to spread despair as the Ultimate resumed manual control of the one remaining Monokuma still connected to the network.
Under Junko’s direct control, Bing Bang Monokuma got up from the ground and used its scepter to hit the offending giant that caused it to fall in the first place with such force that it exploded upon impact. The other remaining giant Monokuma variant fared no better as a summoned Mega Monokuma Bomb collided with its face. Korosensei observed the following large explosion that consumed it with great interest.
Korosensei: It seems like you are the only one left of my fellow black and white educators. I am already late for my student’s mathematics lesson so don’t be too upset that I will have to take you down in a quick and embarrassing fashion.
Big Bang Monokuma’s response to this threat was summoning a couple more Mega Monokuma Bombs and homing them in on the E-Class teacher. Zooming up into the air once again and tricking the bombs into colliding with each other was a piece of cake for Korosensei. Taking out Big Bang proved to be a more difficult endeavor as the giant stomped one of its mechanical feet so hard into the ground that gallons of water was sent flying up into the air forcing the octopus to cancel his momentum so not to crash right into the momentary floating liquid. This allowed Big Bang to reach out and grab its opponent intending to squish him into yellow puddy.
Instead of being squished like a grape, Korosensei reappeared only a couple inches away from Big Bang Monokuma’s face. Having been forced to use his liquid form to escape that particular predicament had lowered his already very decreased stamina. This fight was definitely starting to take its toll. It was fortunate that this next move would remove one of the biggest remaining obstacles to recruiting Enoshima to his class.
Korosensei: To quote the you somewhat from our earlier bout, let me show you that the power of anime favors me above you.
Electricity of enormous strength released from Big Bang Monokuma’s scepter hit Korosensei with enough power to fry most living things to ash. To the antimatter octopus however, it felt more like he was being stung by a swarm of mosquitoes all at once instead of being electrocuted. His body was immune to attacks such as this after all. Having always wanted to say a certain word ever since he had first heard it being uttered in a specific Shonen anime and this being the perfect moment to use it allowed Koro to power through the electrifying assault to complete the stance he had positioned himself in.
Korosensei: KKKKAAAAMMMMEEEHHHHAAAAMMMEEEEHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
The gigantic energy beam courtesy of Korosensei utterly obliterated the right side of Big Bangs face destroying the weak point located in its eye in the process. Falling to the ground and causing the entire area around it to shake violently in the process is what happened to the pinnacle of Monokuma variants next.
This entire experience had turned out a lot tricker than expected. Not enough to make him seriously fear for his life but still enough to make him breathe heavily due to exhaustion. This assassination attempt had also turned out to be one of the most fun ones to participate in to Koros delight. Junko Enoshima was going to make a perfect fit for his class of misfits once her flaws was “corrected” somewhat. Just thinking of the creative attempt on his life to come of this made Korosensei almost squeal in delight.
Korosensei: Before I enter to see your creator, I have to give all of you mechanical marvels credit where it is due. This entire fight made me lose a lot of calories so I must thank you from the bottom of my heart for the good workout.
With a respectful bow of his head to the various destroyed robots below him, Korosensei flew into the flooded school wearing a fish costume that appeared out of nowhere. The sight of this courtesy of the Nanokumas did not upset Junko at all. It in fact did the opposite as a terrifying smile formed on the Ultimate Analyst face. Everything was going according to plan.
Korosensei: So this is where you have been hiding from my senses Miss Enoshima? This is a very nice and clean control center I must say.
Finding the Monokuma control center had been an easy endeavor for the E-Class teacher using his senses and water-proofed costume. After closing the door to the room so fast that no water managed to get inside, Koros eyes zoomed in on the door in the back with a Monokuma symbol on it as he quickly changed back to his regular robes. The smell coming out of this door made it obvious that the Ultimate Analyst was behind it. It was about time for this little tutoring season to reach its end.
Monokuma: Best super unexpected sneak attack of all time activate!
Several very small and muscular Monokuma variants jumping out from behind the consoles lining the side of the control center did not take their octopus of an opponent by surprise at all due to his superhuman senses. What did cause Korosenseis eyes to widen was the fact that despite his attempts to move his tentacles out of the way; every single Monokuma managed to grab onto one of them and pin them to the metal floor below.
Monokuma: Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu! Seems like I caught myself an octopus for dinner. I would have preferred salmon but I am not a picky eater when it comes seafood and despair.
Tons of spears shoot out of the floor piercing through every single of the pinned tentacles. They started to slowly melt upon contact but the combination of spears and Monokumas keeping his tentacles in place along with the fact that one of the spears having almost reached his heart made it impossible for Korosensei to move even a single muscle. During this entire ordeal, Koros large cheshire grin never left his face as he eyed the Monokuma door in the back open up. Regardless of what was about to happen, his success was guaranteed after all.
Out of the door walked Junko Enoshima and after seeing the scene in front of her; a crazed deranged look appeared on her face as she walked up to her pinned opponent. Her plan had turned out to be 100% successful. It was not a surprise considering that her intellect obviously surpassed this decently intelligent opponent.
Junko Enoshima: How does it feel to have been bested by the diva of despair? Showing off your quickness allowed my precious Nanokumas to analyze your speed and seal your downfall. You proved to be an interesting opponent. Maybe I should erase your memories and make you participate in my next killing game. Such a deliciously despairing idea that is.
The army of Monokumas had served their purpose well. Regardless of whether they had been able to crush this octopus into a million pieces or not, their battle with the pinned creature had allowed for the Nanokumas to film ever single move he made from every angle. This made it extremely easy for her to configure a small group of her precious mascots into being able to follow and adapt to the opponent’s movement. The result was this beautiful despair inducing situation for Korosensei.
Korosensei: Splendidly done Miss Enoshima! Not many have managed to corner me like this. You should be proud of this attempt on my life. Sensei still has one last card to play however.
Infuriating optimism that reminded her too much of a certain Ultimate Lucky student was the only thing about this situation that kept Junko’s despairing pleasure from reaching the stratosphere. The fact that the octopus still acted like he wasn’t in any deadly peril annoyed Junko greatly. A few hours of torture would probably be able to change that smile into a frown.
Junko Enoshima: Boring! This whole teacher persona is a total buzzkill. Let’s see if you can keep that charade up as I search for the most painful way to get past that sticky body of yours inhuman defenses. I won’t stop my fun even if you beg for forgiveness and tell me where my precious classmates are. By the way, how is Muku do………?
Whatever Junko was going to say next was utterly forgotten as Korosenseis body suddenly started to glow brightly. A blast of energy emerged not soon afterwards from the glowing octopus that wrecked the entire room. The Monokumas were demolished into scrap, the monitors got cracked in half, and the Ultimate Despair found herself flung backwards into a wall with a loud yelp.
It had only taken place for a couple of seconds but when the small blast explosion faded away; the entire room was in a state of disarray. Rubble lay in front of the main door preventing anyone from escaping the control center any time soon. In the middle lay the tiny sphere containing the culprit of all this destruction.
The E-Class teacher chuckled nervously as he surveyed the area around him from the inside of his Absolute Defense Form. Destroying the Monokumas and trapping the two of them in this room had gone as planned. The position Enoshimas leg was currently in had not been his intention however.
Korosensei: I am very sorry for dislocating your leg Miss Enoshima. I tried to control the explosion created by activating my Absolute Defense Form to only make those bears malfunction and trap us in here. I never intended to wound a single hair on your body. I am such a disappointment of a teacher.
Seeing as Enoshima was still too dazed to respond to his taunt and totally real tears, Koros eyes wandered towards the entrance to the control room as if he sensed that something was about to try and break in from the outside. This prediction became truth as a Monokuma broke through the door and sent rubble around it flying with a single punch. It wasn’t an ordinary Monokuma however which Junko realized right away.
Junko Enoshima: You are about to be more than a disappointment in a minute. Seems like you didn’t manage to deactivate my AI after all. After all your hard work, it was a small mistake that caused your downfall. I guess it’s finally punishment time. I can’t wait for your despair to turn me on. I wonder what it is going to choose. A rocket trip into space or a flashback light to the face perhaps?
In response to Junko’s speech spoken with despairing ecstasy, Korosensei simply laughed in way that screamed that he knew something she did not.
Korosensei: NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF! Are you 100% certain about that?
The AI Monokuma’s first words spoken after breaking its way inside made Junko completely speechless and Korosenseis laugh to increase in volume.
Monokuma (AI): Despair? I hate both the word and concept. I would rather want a person to have the best day ever than needlessly torture them beyond their breaking point.
Her precious AI had been rewritten and modified? When did this happen? She had seen it being knocked offline just a couple minutes ago through the Nanokumas. Had the octopus known about these tiny robotic bears from the start? Had he intentionally made it look like he took down her AI when he was in reality reworking its code to follow his commands instead? Had the teacher managed to predict her genial plan from the beginning and only allowed himself to be pinned due to wanting to lure her into a false sense of security?
All these thoughts and more came to the forefront of Junko’s Ultimate Analyst brain as she tried to comprehend what was happening. They all came together to form one inevitable conclusion. She had lost everything she had worked so hard for in less than a single day due to a creature she could not predict. Was this what true despair felt like?
Junko Enoshima: …..I…….lost…?…….Despair…..overflowing……!
Darkness took over her vision as the feeling of despair coursing through her veins took such a toll that she fainted out of exhaustion. Korosensei saw the entire thing from within his Absolute Defense Form with a gentle expression on his face. The battle had finished but the process of helping this poor child had just begun.
KO!
Korosensei: Very well done Mr Monokuma. After you gently confine her to that chair, could you be so kind to find a still functioning computer for me to use? Seems like I will have to do todays classes via a stable internet connection.
Monokuma (AI): Right away Prince of the Fateful Eternal Wind. My function is to serve you and spread hope wherever I go.
As the Monokuma gently lifted Junko’s unconscious form and restrained her into the nearest unbroken chair, Korosensei couldn’t help but think of how peaceful the girls sleeping form looked. It was a far cry from the crazed and insane movements previously but this new state suited her much better. Her sister Mukuro had looked equally as peaceful when unconscious. Both sisters needed help and Koro would be the one to give these sisters that.
The same could be said for the entirety of the 78th class of Hope's Peak academy. Despite being Ultimate’s, he could tell that most of them had problems and flaws that had haunted them their entire life. This class might not be included in the promise he made to Aguri but Koro had no doubt she would be proud of him for going out of his way to assist another group of students in a desperate need of guidance.
This first lesson for his new students to take part in would unfortunately be without Enoshima. Seeing as she got a private tutoring session from yours truly, it did not bother Korosensei too much as Monokuma placed a computer in front of him with a live feed showing all his precious students looking back at him with smiles on their faces. Even Mukuro was giving a weak smile from where she was sitting next to Makoto.
A few words were spoken to the unconscious Junko courtesy of Korosensei before he went back to his favorite activity of the day; teaching the young not to commit the same mistakes as he did in life.
Korosensei: An A+ for a very well attempted assassination and an F- for your lack of manners and self-destructive behavior. Don’t worry though. I am sure I can increase that F to an A with the help of your sister and all your new and old classmates. Welcome to the Assassination Classroom. NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF!
- In the cave hideout, both Class 3-E and Class 78 look upon a monitor with a live feed showing Monokuma and the immobile Korosensei trying to teach a mathematics class to them. An unconscious restrained Junko can be seen in the background of the live feed.
- The area outside of Hope's Peak Academy is filled with the destroyed remains of various Monokuma units as Future Foundation agents arrive at the scene. Kyosuke Munakata surveys the area with a combination of confusion and relief on his face.
Results[]
Boomstick: ………………………………………………………………………………We are about to die in a couple of moments from now aren’t we Wiz?
Wiz: I am going to say yes seeing as our guest seems so angry that he can’t talk right now.
Monokuma: …………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Boomstick: Perhaps he might spare us of an exploding death if we make a very good and respectful case for why he lost to the OP octopus? Let’s get this conclusion started already before he presses that big red button.
Wiz: This match was surprisingly not a stomp for Korosensei. Based on his speed and intelligence alone, it wouldn’t be surprising if one though the teacher of the Assassination Classroom could tear apart the mascot of Danganronpa without any trouble at all. On closer inspection however, Monokuma wasn’t so outclassed in these areas as first thought.
Boomstick: It is rather obvious that when it comes to speed, Korosensei is king. Monokuma is extremely quick seeing as he can scale to Sakura and Genocide Jacks impressive OP speed feats of their own. Being able to react to a light-speed laser from space at his fastest and come out mostly unharmed is much cooler than scaling to someone capable of slicing Mach 10 missiles though. For those that still say the bear should be faster due to keeping up with Sakura and her Shukuchi speed, have Monokuma ever created tornadoes by spinning around, pop up to 26 annoying speed clones of himself into existence, and rebuilt the side of an exploded building in under a second? Don’t say yes because that would make you all liars.
Wiz: Korosensei is indeed much more creative with his speed than Monokuma is with his. While Monokuma have claimed to be able to play soccer and multitask using his afterimages, Koro actually has shown the capabilities of doing this with his own afterimages. The bear is an extremely advanced machine that is an expert in many areas but his lack of very zany feats of speed compared to his opponent makes it evident which of these educators had the upper hand when it came to speed.
Boomstick: If you had to choose between the octopus monster capable of moving so fast that time seemingly stops all around him and the bear unable to land a hit on an solider capable of something similar, who would you choose? It should be obvious since our despair overlord had to resort to trickery in order to even catch Ikusaba off-guard. Having actual experience with someone doubly as fast as himself was also something the infuriating bear lacked unlike the octopus.
Wiz: The reason for previously mentioning Monokuma not being as outclassed in speed as first thought however refers to the fact that the bear of despair had tons of opportunities to lower the E-Class teachers speed to more manageable levels. With Korosenseis frankly ridiculous number of flaws that decreases his speed, Monokuma both had the intelligence and speed to take advantage of all these things. Intelligence is also an area which Koro excels in that the bear isn’t that far behind him in.
Boomstick: Seeing as Koro has a superhuman brain capable of processing information thousands of times faster than the average person and Monokuma using the Ultimate Analyst skill that he inherited from his mommy to predict future events, these 2 ever smiling freaks being equally as smart made it kind of a pain in the ass for either of them to get ahead in this area for the most part.
Wiz: Having more experience from his time as a master assassin and the various Monokuma models’ obvious weak point in their red eye abled to be easily exploited by the antimatter octopus is really the only factors here that slightly put Korosensei above Monokuma in term of smarts. Junko’s robotic bears of despair as stated before would be able to take advantage of a lot of Koros flaws as well but disabling a Monokuma with one simple tentacle to the weak point is much easier to do than hurt an octopus immune to most types of attacks. Monokuma’s habit of both knowingly and unknowingly leaving himself open due to his love of despair is also a huge flaw for Korosensei to exploit.
Boomstick: In a battle of speed and smarts, the OP octopus would definitely have a mayor advantage despite the stupid bear not being outclassed enough in these areas to guarantee Koros victory. Weird antimatter powers vs mechanical bear abilities and variants is the area however which sealed octomans victory in his favor for certain. His senses like his extremely efficient smell, sight, and hearing for one made it very likely that any sneaky ambush heading his way had a 100% chance of failing spectacularly.
Wiz: Any ambushes and assaults that managed to get past these senses would prove ineffective in the long run. A lot of Monokuma’s arsenal could not even put a dent in his opponent. Metal like bullets and claws melt when they impact with Korosenseis scientifically impressive body and Big Bangs electricity would prove extremely ineffective against him for example. The only real objects that would be able to hurt the E-Class teacher is weapons specifically designed to harm beings made of antimatter and unfortunately for Junko and her avatars of despair; they had nothing in their arsenal that could do something similar to this.
Boomstick: Now I guess that one could say that sheer physical might should be able to harm the octopus man due to Reaper 2.0 and Itonas capability to injure the guy with their combination of strength and speed. Even if that is that is true, let me remind everyone watching that 2.0 could destroy a skyscraper with ease and Koro literally has tanked several of this guy’s mighty attacks. Therefore, any cheap shot from a Giant Monokuma had no chance to one-shoot Mr octopus especially when you add his ridiculous regen into the equation.
Wiz: Being able to take on Sakura, Mukuro, Akane, and K1-B0 in a fight would make the army of Monokumas a huge threat despite their inability to severely harm Koro. The number of Monokumas and their chances of winning would decrease as more and more of them are destroyed by a combination of the E-Class teachers anime beam attacks, electric shocks, speed enhanced punches, waterproof mucus, and much more zany stuff. The robotic army consisting of Exisals, Junk Monokumas, Big Bang Monokuma, various vehicles and more could only delay the inevitable outcome of this match with their more normal arsenal in comparison.
Boomstick: The likelihood of Koro even bothering to use his Absolute Defense Form is extremely low because of this. Becoming nuclear bomb proof for 24 hours would probably only make it harder and more pleasurable for the bear in the long run now when I think about it. Kind of gross if you ask me. Perhaps Mr Monobear could attempt to send Koros immobile body into space with her rockets or those disturbing Monokumas with rocket thrusters in their rear if this happened? Does not seem too plausible I guess seeing as the rockets are basically designed to crash-land back to earth with a large explosion and it being unknown of how far those models can travel into the vast scary darkness of space.
Wiz: Speaking of likelihoods and possibilities, there are two big methods that if used by Korosensei could allow him to instantly win this battle without any difficulties at all. One is using his senses to find the mastermind or AI in control of the Monokumas and take them down to end the battle in a quick fashion. The second has to do with what Boomstick was so excited about presenting before.
Boomstick: Huh? Are you talking about how Koro rewrote an advanced AI? Why would that be releva…………………Holy crap! I am an idiot for not realizing this sooner. The OP octopus could literally hack the entire bear army and turn them against each other if he wished. Monobear might be too mechanically advanced for the nerds at NASA but not enough to stump Korosensei.
Wiz: Regardless of everything already mentioned, there are a couple of situations where this version of Monokuma could come out on top due to the matchup being a little closer than expected. What do I mean when I state “this version of Monokuma” you ask? To answer this, we have to bring up the biggest reason for why the bear of despair loses more times than not. The reason is because the Monokuma used for this death battle is a composited version.
Boomstick: Why we used a composite should be obvious due to our guests not-welcome visit. His silence is really starting to bother me Wiz. There is only one reason I can think of why this bear has shut up and it is not a good one. He must be very very very very very mad.
Monokuma: …………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Boomstick: I will take that silence of yours as a sign to stop bothering you and finish up the analysis instead so you can draw out our suspense of whether you will explode us or not. By compositing, we basically mean that every version of the dumb bear that remotely seems similar to each other was combined together to give Mono the best possibility to win over the OP octopus.
Wiz: This unfortunately means that without all this compositing; the likelihood of the mechanical bear winning becomes almost impossible. Removing V3’s tools such as the flashback lights and Exisals along with feats and scaling from works of questionable canonicity like the IF and Togami novels seriously decrease the chances of victory over Korosensei. It can also be argued that the Monokuma army of Monaca’s is outside help to a degree so if we had pitted Monokuma from DR1 against Korosensei; this battle would have been a huge stomp in the octopus favor.
Boomstick: Before any angry Dangan fans makes their way here to help the despair overlord to punish us for an outcome such as this, let me reassure you that there is one foolproof situation where Monokuma would win this battle with 1000% certainty. Having the battle take place in the virtual world where the Monokuma AI was a literal god is not fair in the least however. A lot of DR2 feats are just too weird and absurd to use because of virtual shenanigans. If we did give the bear his godlike abilities however, I don’t know if I would be laughing my ass off or let out a girlish shriek at the sight of Monokuma transforming his opponent into a moo-cow.
Wiz: I guess we have finally finished the reasoning for why you lost now. Could you stop giving us the silent treatment and just speak already? If you are not going to execute us, then I would like to go back to building a new matter transporter.
Monokuma: …………..ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Boomstick: You have to be kidding me!
Wiz: Don’t speak too loudly. You might wake him Boomstick.
Monokuma: …ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ What’s up former hosts of Death battle. I am not sorry for taking a small hibernation period in the middle of the episode. Watching the battle simulation got kind of boring. Who won by the way?
Wiz: Unfortunately you just missed our very respectful reasoning for why you lost but if you allow us, we could start again from the begi………..
Monokuma: I lost?......... I LOST!!!!!!! That’s so despairingly wonderful. Let’s celebrate my defeat by blowing all of us sky-high. Puuhuhuhuhuhuhu!
Boomstick: Oh Crap! Run for cover Wiz!
Wiz: No need to tell me twice Boomstick! If the matter transporter could still be used, I would have teleported you and me out of here by now!
Monokuma: UpUpUpUpUpUp! Its punishment tim……….!
(A tentacle comes out of nowhere and pierces Monokuma right through the eye disabling him in the process. Not long afterwards, the bombs located around the room along with the armbands situated on Wiz and Boomsticks wrists disappear in the blink of an eye. A familiar laugh can be heard as this all occurs in less than 5 second)
?????: NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF! No need to thank me. Simply see this as my apology for messing with you 2 earlier.
Boomstick: ……………………………………..I am speechless for once Wiz. I am also grumpy and my craving for booze is at an all-time high. Let’s never have a workday like this ever again.
Wiz: I will make sure indeed that something like this never happens again. I am still a little baffled of how these 2 got in here in the first place. I updated the studios 4th wall defenses only a couple of days ago.
Deadpool: That is a huge problem indeed Wizzy. It’s almost as if someone deadly and handsome sabotaged it to make the prospect of visiting a couple of old friends with some new acquaintances of his easier to do.
(Wiz and Boomsticks eyes start to twitch in anger as they hear a familiar voice originating from behind them. Without any hesitation, they turned around and charged at Deadpool who decides to scream like a little girl and run away from the two angry hosts. The teacher of the E-Class appears in front of the camera as the chase shows no sign of stopping any time soon)
Korosensei: The winner is the one and only best teacher of all time in my humble opinion; Korosensei. NuNuFNuFNuFNuFNuF!
