* Some of Kokichi's [[NightmareFace facial expressions]] are more than a little terrifying. [[http://i.imgur.com/P1Q6XvE.png This one]] in particular, however, takes the cake. Not to mention, Kokichi's expressions get gradually worse during and after the fourth trial which is often accompanied by a [[LaughingMad mad laughter]].

** Kokichi's death rivals Nagito's in terms of sheer gruesomeness. He is shot twice with crossbow bolts, one of which was poisoned, then he ''willingly lies under a hydraulic press, which slowly and completely crushes him'' until not even the normally near-omniscient Monokuma can recognize him. It's bad enough that we get to see several times a video tape which shows the exact moment Kokichi was crushed followed by a massive blood splatter. Special mention goes for the discovery of Kokichi's remains. The crime scene is a total mess and there's literally blood everywhere. The initial shock is so great that it takes a while before Shuichi and the rest even ''realize'' that someone's crushed remains are inside the press. And even then they believe that the body belongs to Kaito since his coat sleeve is dangling from the press.

This confirms that he has gone almost completely ''mental'' because of both the guilt of [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone manipulating Gonta into becoming the blackened]] and the sheer stress of the killing game.

** Chapter 1's execution, "Der Flohwalzer". Our first culprit of the game is none other than Kaede Akamatsu. Yes, you read that right; this is '''[[TheHeroDies Kaede's]]''' execution. For the first time in the series, the protagonist is executed by Monokuma, and following the trend of first chapter executions, it matches Leon and Teruteru's executions in terms of cruelty and brutality. Plus, after seeing it, you'll '''never''' hear the Flea Waltz the same way again. Monokuma hangs her by the neck, and then the Monokuma Cubs use a pulley system to play a giant piano with her body. Through all of this, Kaede is struggling with the rope around her neck until her face is blue and her eyes burst into spirals (not unlike those who were affected by Despair). [[MetronomicManMashing Then her body gets rapidly smashed on the piano constantly, The execution is drawn out to make her suffer as much as possible]](if the giant clock behind the piano is accurate, it goes on for ''hours'' and it's merely sped up for our benefit), [[ProducePelting and any sense of dignity is thrown out the window when an audience of Monokumas starts booing and pelting her with tomatoes and stones]]. DeaderThanDead Once the show is over and Kaede has gone limp, the iron maiden style keyboard cover slams shut on her and Monokid, reducing her body to unrecognizable paste]], and decapitating Monokid. And in the final chapter, we learn the truth: [[MiscarriageOfJustice Kaede was innocent]]. Tsumugi was the one who actually killed Rantaro, meaning Kaede's execution was ultimately [[KangarooCourt pointless and unfair]]. If this was [[VisualNovel/DanganronpaTriggerHappyHavoc the first game]], GameOver the Blackened got away with it. Everyone [[KarmaHoudini except Tsumugi]] gets executed [[DownerEnding and the official game ends here]].

* Kokichi's reveal of Gonta's guilt in Chapter 4. When Shuichi triggers his BerserkButton by lying to him, Kokichi is ''pissed'' and goes chillingly serious, confessing the whole setup without any hints of his normal {{Troll}} behavior, because he knows that giving everyone [[AwfulTruth the truth they want so much]] is ''the perfect revenge.'' The way he casually announces it can send chills down your spine.

** Chapter 2's execution, "Strand of Agony", is possibly one of the most brutal and torturous executions in the ''entire franchise''. This time, Kirumi's up on the chopping block, and unlike most of the other culprits, she actually makes an effort to escape... before she gets surrounded by an angry mob. She's given the option of climbing a rope to safety... except the rope is a thorny vine that cuts her hands every time she grabs it. And that's not even getting into the buzzsaws whirling around the rope, [[ClothingDamage shredding her clothes]] [[FanDisservice and her body]] as she climbs, screaming in immense pain. Kirumi narrowly survives the DeathOfAThousandCuts and [[HopeSpot nearly reaches the escape hole]]... but this is Monokuma we're talking about, so the "hole" is just a childish drawing taped to the ceiling. As she realizes that there was never a chance for her to escape, the rope snaps, and Kirumi falls several stories to her death, crushing Monosuke in the process. And to top it all off, this is likely the ''only'' execution in the games where you actually ''[[HellIsThatNoise hear]]'' the victim screaming.
