This kid says that he is the leader of a group that has over 10000 members. And although it may seem unreal at first, things start to change when you realize that this story might hold some actual value to it.

The man is referred to as the Ultimate Supreme Leader. And that tag isn't just for the sake of it. Instead, it comes with the idea that this man can stay ambiguous and secure from others.

He can pinpoint murders and figure out criminals without breaking into a sweat. And that's why Kokichi is one of the most popular characters in the entire series.

His intelligence and excellence are more than enough to make fans lose their minds over him.

If the topic is animal husbandry then this man might be the king. Gundham is known for his appearance and interesting yet capturing behaviour toward animals.

This man can go ahead and save a ton of animals without a care for the world. He is responsible for the death of Nekomaru when he was given the choice between Murder or starvation of Cham-P.

And that's why fans appreciate his characterisation so much. This man is just perfect in every which way.

This man is nothing but trouble. After all, he is the successor of a Yakuza. And not just any Yakuza, Fuyuhiko is the successor of the largest Yakuza in Japan too.

Now that's a position. This man doesn't stand his face being mocked by anyone. Since he has a childish appearance, he is often ridiculed, much to his annoyance.

However, when someone does that, he threatens them to death with implications of violence all along. This is what makes our man so intimidating and capturing.

And that's why he is regarded as the Ultimate Yakuza in the series. He is also known as the Super High School Level Gangster.

Tell me what's more badass than that?

This man is nothing but an optimist. He couldn't accept a situation where he is losing and that's what makes him so amazing in the first place.

The fact that he is going on with his life, despite all the miseries standing right on the horizon is amazing.

And that's just the beginning of it. He is known as the Ultimate Lucky Student or Super High School Level Good Luck.

And let's just say that this title was made for him. He is friendly and upbeat during the initial episodes and that's why he tends to be an interesting character from the get-go.

However, we do see him evolve with time. And he does shape himself according to the realm of Danganronpa.

She is the main heroine of the original game. And that's why she is one of the most popular characters in the entire franchise.

However, that's just the beginning of her character. As we dive deep into the franchise, she does appear as the lead female in the original Danganronpa anime.

Her title was mentioned as Ultimate??? Or Super High School Level???. This is because the game kept it ambiguous for the viewers and players.

And that's why her identity became a great hook for the viewers of this series. We get to know more about her as the story progresses, making her an immersive character.

This character is loved and appreciated by everyone who watches her. And that's why she is so special. While we might not get a chance to see the story from her perspective, there's no denying that this series is something that goes way out of its way to make sure that the experience is top-notch.

However, since he is someone who is always on the computer, this man ends up losing all the social skills he could potentially have.

This guy is known as the Ultimate Programmer or Super High School Level Programmer. And that's a post that will be assigned to him for the rest of his life.

There's a point in the story where he ends up getting his head smashed by a dumbbell. And oh boy, isn't that brutal?

Let's just say that this guy will shape the anime for the rest of the story. P.S. - he is insane with his computing skills and capabilities.

This specific character caused a lot of havoc, especially when it came to the first season of the anime. And that's one of the many reasons why he is such a beautiful character to look forward to.

Moreover, if you are someone who is in search for some geniuses then this is the person you should look for. 

The most deceiving Character in the entire series. She first showed up as one of the students who had been caught up in the mess of Hope's Peak Academy.

However, it is later revealed that she is the one responsible for everything wrong that's taking place. This woman is evil on a whole different level.

And that's why Junko is an entertaining being. This girl brought the spice that the anime needed to separate it from the others.

And that's why she is so unique that you can't help but fall in love with her. However, beware.

Naegi is the one who doesn't have any special characteristics going on for himself. He is often regarded as the most basic student in the entire academy.

However, the key difference here is that Naegi is later on revealed to be the Ultimate Lucky Student or Super High School Level Good Luck.

This is because our boy won admission to Hope's Peak Academy through a lucky draw. And the chances of that happening are absolutely abysmal.

His optimistic nature and outgoing personality make him an ideal protagonist to enjoy on your first watch of Danganronpa.

However, that's not all. At times, we are even able to witness his intelligence which allows us to get an idea of why he is the main character of this show.

Not only that, he is also appreciated by fans for his contribution to the overall story progression, making him a remarkable name in the show. 

She is the main heroine of Danganronpa V3. Some people may be confused since for them, Kaede Akamatsu was the lead heroine.

She goes on to be a quiet and cynical girl who doesn't seem to have any sympathetic feelings toward anyone else.

She is known for being the Ultimate Child Caregiver. And although this title may seem a bit off for her, it does hold some truth to it.

This man is a beast. And he is regarded as the real main protagonist of the Danganronpa V3 series.

He is often considered the most captivating character in the entire series. And the fact that he is the Ultimate Detective, just like Kyoko Kirigiri is stunning.

He is a soft-spoken boy who doesn't like to speak too much. However, when he does open his mouth, his words are costly for the entire series.

He claims that he solves cases by chance. However, we get to see him perform like an absolute monster in the story.

And that's why Danganronpa V3 is a series that fans enjoy to their heart's content.

This man thinks that he is better than everyone else in the academy. And as superficial as it sounds, his thinking does come from an understandable mindset.

He is the successor of a colossal Family Corporation. And with that degree of Wealth and Power, he is bound to be realized as a boy born with a silver spoon.

However, what makes Togami so captivating is the fact that he hates losing. He cannot stand anyone being ahead of him and so, he keeps a cold front for everyone else.

However, with time, he does change his personality and we get to experience more dimensions of his character.

He is known as the Super High School Level Scion or the Ultimate Affluent Progeny.

This girl believes that adapting to the environment is the only way one can survive in a situation. And that's why she is ranked here on our list.

After all, her perspective is quite suited to the audience. The girl talks about herself in a Gothic Lolita-style costume.

And although it may not seem all that captured at the start, as the show progresses, people realize that this woman will be a lot stronger in the series than what meets the eye.

While fans had some optimistic assumptions about her, she does show a side of her that no one expected.

And that's what makes her the Ultimate Gambler or Super High School Level Gambler in the anime.

Honestly, a lot of fans wanted her to last longer in the story. She was one of the characters who gave "VIP Character" vibes. Unfortunately, things didn't go that route.

And while some may claim that this decision of not continuing with Celestia was inappropriate, there's no denying that during her presence, she made a massive impact on viewers. 

He is one of the Ultimate??? or Super High School Level??? This man is known for his calm attitude and it is said that he doesn't have an idea about his talents.

He can talk with Monokuma without any fear. And that's why he captures the audience's attention without any issues whatsoever.

However, what makes him even more interesting is the fact that he was hit by Kaede. And the way Kaede did it was by using a shot-put ball.

This is what makes his story so interesting for the audience and the players. Later on, it is revealed that he is the Ultimate Survivor or the Ultimate Adventurer. Now that's a position that deserves respect.

This girl happens to have a split personality going on for her. And that's why she is so intriguing to the audience.

She is in love with Byakuya. Although, that's her lethal self. Her shy part is just away from everyone else and acts completely differently than her lethal counterpart.

Moreover, her lethal self is often referred to as Genocide Jack. And this personality uses scissors for the sake of intimidation.

Needless to say, fans assumed this character to be the killer during the initial episodes itself. However, she did stand for quite a long and thus, her character gained a lot more love and recognition from fans and players of the series.

She is the main heroine of the second game of the franchise. And although she may seem useless at first, wait until the topic of discussion is games.

Then she is an absolute beast. She is a laid-back girl who does nothing but plays games and enjoys the hell out of her life.

However, that's one of the reasons why she has become a bit weaker in terms of her social skills.

Moreover, she has lost all her cunningness which is useful to thrive in the real world. However, for someone to attain the tag of the Ultimate Gamer or Super High School Level Gamer, this kind of personality is sort of expected.

This is going to be a rough one. And you can't beat that.

She is the false protagonist of the series we know by the name of Danganronpa V3. And let's just say that this woman is a lot more intimidating than what meets the eye.

She seems like a cheerful and optimistic girl who is always looking for opportunities to uplift people. Moreover, she is quite hard-working and happens to have an amazing talent for the piano.

After all, she is known as the Ultimate Pianist in the series. However, as the story continues, we realize that this woman will meet a fate she didn't expect.

And that's why the entire character captures the audience's attention and makes the anime even more entertaining to watch for all of us as viewers.

This man holds a grudge against the government. And that's why he wishes to become the Prime Minister at one point in time.

He is known as the Ultimate Moral Compass or Super High School Level Disciplinarian. And let's just say that this title is quite appropriate for his personality.

This is why Ishimaru Kiyotaka is so entertaining for the audience. This man is just insane with his approach.

And the fact that he refers to Mondo as his brother defines his relationship with him.

Imagine being a Princess? Well, that's exactly what Sonia Nevermind is. She is the Princess of Novoselic and she was transferred from her place to Hope's Peak.

However, soon enough, she realizes that this is not the ideal situation. This character is going to have a rough time.

And with the essence of her title as the Ultimate Princess or Super High School Level Princess, it would be interesting to see where her character will go under these circumstances. That's what makes her so captivating.

This girl is known for her inventions. After all, she has invented a ton of different gadgets that have helped countless people.

However, when you help someone so much, you tend to get a bit too ahead of yourself. And that's why Miu Iruma happens to have an interesting personality going for her.

She is a narcissistic girl who is always out there, trying to showcase that her stature is quite high.

Moreover, she doesn't behave properly as she is always speaking garbage, expressing perverted ideas, and acting rudely to other people.

This behaviour does backfire in the series. And that's when everything starts to fall apart for him and everyone else around him.
