Yuta Asahina

Yuta Asahina (朝日奈 悠太 Asahina Yūta) is a character in Zettai Zetsubou Shoujo - Danganronpa Another Episode.

He dies in Chapter 1, as a result of trying to swim out of Towa City as fast as he could until leaving the city's marine territory, triggering the bracelet the Soldiers of Hope put around his left hand's explosion mechanism, but is unconfirmed since there was no blood in the water.

Appearance
Yuta is a tan skinned boy who has short, brown hair and blue eyes. He wears a white tank top under his teal-blue track jacket with an unknown sign on it. He also wears a red striped, black bracelet (that has the typical red Monokuma eye on it, shown in his execution) with beige shorts. He has red sneakers and a bit of bright yellow socks can be seen underneath them.

Personality
Yuta is very naive, but cheerful. He appears to like sports and used to be part of his school's track and field team. Yuta is shown to be extremely confident in his swimming skills, and is rather oblivious to most things. As stated by Toko, "like idiot sister, like idiot brother."

History
Yuta met Toko and Komaru on the bridge where they were attempting to escape Towa City. It was there that Komaru saw that Yuta had a similar bracelet to the one placed upon her by the Soldiers of Hope. Upon discovering that the bridge had collapsed, they were ambushed by some Monokuma Kids who intended to destroy the remains of the bridge with the three on it. While the bridge was successfully blown apart, the three escaped to safety. Not dismayed by the fallen bridge, Yuta decided that he would swim out of Towa City. However upon leaving the city limits, Yuta's bracelet began to beep rapidly and soon exploded, but is unconfirmed since there was no blood in the water.

The "Kill List" entry about him compiled by the Soldiers of Hope, where he is given the "demonic name" of  'Yuutax'  states that he has been staying near Towa City's Great Bridge for some time before meeting Komaru and Toko.

Komaru Naegi
Yuta traveled with Komaru and Toko through The Tragedy sometimes. He seems to be friendly with Komaru, and takes great joy in showing off to her.

Toko Fukawa
Yuta also traveled with Toko. He seems to respect her and seems to try and comfort her at times.
