Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School/Despair Arc

Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School - Side: Despair (ダンガンロンパ３ –The End of 希望ヶ峰学園– 絶望編 Danganronpa 3: Ji Endo obu Kibōgamine Gakuen Zetsubō-hen) is the second of the two story arcs in Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School. It was released on July 14, 2016.

The arc is meant to be watched together with Side: Future and the two arcs should not be viewed separated.

Being a prequel to Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, the story of Side: Despair serves as the "prelude" to the series, as it tells the backstory of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B and how they became corrupted Remnants of Despair.
