But it is clear that before Veronica, no one truly liked him, his father was cruel, and his mother killed herself in front of his eyes. And he ends his life taking his bomb from Veronica, admitting he is "far too damaged". Even Veronica, despite everything he's done, [[SympathyForTheDevil can't help but plead for him to stop]].

Cleared off some misuses of this trope. Not all CMs are Hate Sinks
Changed line(s) 27,28 (click to see context) from:
Villains who are {{Complete Monster}}s can never qualify for this trope. As said villains are [[HateSink completely unsympathetic]] and [[KarmicDeath aren't]] [[AssholeVictim meant]] to be mourned in any capacity. In the few instances where the hero ''does'' sympathize with a CM, it's for the most part to establish how [[AllLovingHero heroic]] the protagonist is.

*** After being convicted for killing Chihiro, Mondo is revealed to have accidentally killed him in a fit of rage. If the time limit ran out and Monokuma revealed everyone's motives, it would have revealed that Mondo's recklessness had been the cause of his older brother's death, a secret that would have caused their biker gang to fall apart. Mondo barely argues back and accepts his argument- the only reason he moved Chihiro's body was to keep his promise and ensure that no one found out Chihiro was a boy.
*** Celeste, the most ruthless of the murderers in the first game, gets this. Despite Celeste unapologetically claiming to having killed Hifumi after manipulating him into killing Taka, simply to escape and live a life of luxury, Makoto notices that she's still scared at the prospect of her impending death, and it's up to the player's interpretation as to how much of her story was a lie.
*** All three of the above only get worse in retrospect once it's revealed [[spoiler: that they only became villains thanks to Monokuma wiping their memories. If that hadn't happen, the CharacterDevelopment they had undergone as students of Hope's Peak Academy would have prevented them from even attempting to kill one of their TrueCompanions.]]

** ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'': Gonta is manipulated into killing Miu (who also gets a fairly heartbreaking death scene) by Kokichi, only to end up forgetting that he committed a murder as a result of accidentally putting the wires in the wrong sockets. For most of the trial, Gonta honestly believes that he's innocent, and his death is one of the saddest executions in the game.
