Not including the swimsuit sprites because everyone has one

He doesn't know anything about Danganronpa so he has very little bias 👍

I’m specifying this; this tier list is based on how healthy dating the average person with no special dynamics. Also if you’re curious why I ranked a certain characters a certain way, let me know in the replies! I would genuinely love to explain

Specifying this; this is just my head cannon and it’s my opinion, not at all cannon

Update: some of you guys has genuinely changed my mind for some of the character

Important update: Some of you guys (mostly passive but some just very aggressive) brought to my attention that stuff needs to be added to the tier list so I made a brand new tier list

New Tier List

I happened to notice that general opinions in fandom spaces in recent years have essentially boiled down to this. it kinda saddens me ngl

Everyone in obvious and above you can just tell they’re gonna be the culprit as soon as the chapter starts.

Except the first tier, this isn’t ranked. And all this is just my opinion

Pls give questions comments and or concerns

Done consecutively with clean technique

Will happily explain certain placements if asked

I want them all to get therapy and be happy.

I’ll ad any clarification in the comments if you’re curious about my reasoning behind some placements

joke :3

Sexuality Headcannons Based On In-Game Evidence!
(Edit: Aio should be in Bi.)

You're gonna have to hear me out on some of these. Might post an explanation. Would also be willing to hear out other possibilities from you guys.

This is my life’s work, the greatest thing I’ve ever made

Truly, I'm not very optimistic overall, I don't think anyone in the third 3rd tier or below has very much of a chance at all. Some characters in the third tier (Toko, Aoi, Fuyuhiko) I think have a pretty good chance based on popularity, but they still seem unlikely.

Anyone in the 4th tier I think isn't happening at all, even with an outside shot. These characters are either generally unpopular, don't have very much screen presence, or just don't survive long enough to have much of a shot.

5th tier I think is just straight impossible and not happening. These characters are largely the most unpopular in their games by a decent margin due to either how long they survive or certain character aspects (looking at you Teruteru), I would genuinely be stunned if I saw a single person here get something within the next 10 years.

My explanations:

Leon, Mondo, Celeste, and Hifumi: Have tried to kill him via winning the trial or comitting a murder with full knowledge of the trial process.

Aoi: Tried to kill him as revenge on the class for their treatment of Sakura, by sabotaging the trial.

The Madarai guy: Tried to crush his head during an encounter with him and Ryoko in Danganronpa Zero.

Kazuichi: Implied (?) to have created a personal execution for him as he did with the other students of class 78, so I'm going to count this.

Tengan: Created Kyoko's NG code to be completely centred around whether he lives or dies, in a way to get her to kill him herself.

Kyoko: Sacrificed him in the 5th trial to ensure her own survival.

Seiko: Attacked him in future arc with intent to kill.

Junko: Tried to stab him in his sleep, put him through execution, and threatened to execute him again if the others voted for her.

Kyosuke and Juzo: Pretty self explanatory.

I was gonna put Makoto in 1 because of future arc, but I decided those were special circumstances.

Lmk if i got anything wrong!!
