Danganronpa (video game)/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

• Monokuma tailors each of his punishments to fit the victim in ways beyond the immediately obvious. For instance, while the connection between the first murderer and their method of punishment is blatant, spending Free Time with Kuwata reveals another layer: Leon frequently skipped practice, feeling he didn't have to go because of his natural talent. Monokuma literally drags him into the batting cage and forces him to stay there until he's finished.
• Similiarly, Chapter 3's execution makes more sense in light of the murderer's character: Celes presents a romanticized front, and wished to go out in a blaze of darkly dramatic glory, an image she tried to mantain at the very end. Monokuma deliberately plays on this, making her believe she's going to die in a suitably gothic fashion -- before pulling a bait and switch at the last moment.
