** Kaede once again steps forward and tries to rally the residents against Monokuma and resist the mutual killing game. While Rantaro fully agrees with the sentiment, he's far more cautious and reserved, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself or court the bear's wrath.
** Mahiru and Tenko's [[DoesNotLikeMen mutual disdain for men]] provides a lot of contrast. Mahiru dislikes them and tends to presume the worst, but is also more willing to offer them leeway and chances to prove themselves, whereas Tenko's mind is completely made up and she's constantly on the offensive/defensive.

Sixteen students wake up on benches, one by one. They soon discover that they've been trapped in an isolated village called Monoville, run by Baron Monokuma. If they want to leave, they're going to have to take their chances with his DeadlyGame, killing one of their fellow residents and keeping the truth hidden during a Class Trial.
...It's a mostly familiar story, and all of them have been here before. Or someplace like it. But only one has any kind of insight into that, thanks to his Survivor's Perk.
Things didn't work out too well for Amami Rantaro during his first go-round. Though to be fair, ''none'' of them could really claim that, now could they? But this time... will he be able to make any real difference?

* {{Asexuality}}: {{Discussed}} when Mahiru attempts a SherlockScan on Rantaro and suggests that the black ring he's wearing on his middle finger marks him as the Ultimate Swinger. Rantaro notes that it can serve as a symbol of the asexual community, causing her to stammer and backtrack before he admits that he's not, and was just giving her grief for making assumptions.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Rantaro's is instantly triggered the moment he meets Mikan and she stammers her way through introductions.
* BluntYes: When Tenko demands to know if Monokuma gets some kind of sick amusement out of pitting them against each other, he immediately answers "Yes? Thought that was obvious."
* BookEnds: The Prologue and Epilogue open with the line "Some people claim that they can remember being born."
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Ibuki convinces Rantaro to try stepping into the woods surrounding Monoville, giving him a taste of how their implants deliver a severe shock to anyone who attempts to leave that way. She passes this off as schandenfreude, claiming that everyone's tried it, and as one of the first ones to wake up, she'd desensitized enough to find it funny.
* DoesNotLikeMen: Tenko, and Mahiru to a lesser extent.
* EmptyShell: Ryoma describes himself as such when first meeting Rantaro, stating that [[ThatManIsDead the Ultimate Tennis Pro is long dead]] and that he's "nothing more than a husk with his face."
* GenreSavvy: The Amami who wrote the first Survivor Perk presents himself this way, commenting on things like how "There's always a liar. It makes it more interesting."
* HeroesWantRedheads: Rantarou and Mahiru grow quite close over time. There's also the little bombshell dropped during Chapter 6's Trial that [[spoiler:Hajime and Mahiru got married, much to the game's version of Mahiru's immense surprise]].
* InnocentInnuendo: Rantarou overhears Kirumi and Teruteru discussing how to squeeze juice in a way that makes it sound as though they're discussing... something else.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: None of the participants have any memories of their ''original'' mutual killing games, much less how they ended up in Monoville in the first place.
* ShockCollar: In order to make the residents easier to track and prevent them from straying into the surrounding woods, they've all been given implants on the back of their necks that can administer electric shocks.
* TakingTheBullet: When Monokuma demonstrates how he can activate the implants for ElectricTorture, Ibuki shoves Kaede out of the way and ends up in the remote's crosshairs instead.
* ThisIsGoingToSuck:
** PlayedForLaughs when Rantaro meets Mahiru and she makes a backhanded comment about how 'even for a boy', it's strange that he's forgotten his talent. This immediately reminds him of Tenko, realizing that 'Oh god, there's two of them.'
** Naturally played much straighter when Monokuma announces the killing game, as Rantaro realizes precisely what his Survivor Perk was warning him about.
* VerbalBackspace: When ordering Gonta to deal with the ''massive'' insect swarm he'd brought to the meal hall, Kirumi nearly calls them 'vermin' before catching herself.
