The story then moves on to Nagito Komaeda introducing himself and his past, along with him explaining on how he and everyone else ended up on Jabberwock Island. His explanation begins with him waking up Hajime Hinata by yanking on his ahoge. Because of Hajime's poor memory, Nagito explained to him what has happened up until that point.

Monokuma hurdles the students into the Killing Game, and kills Usami on sight.

Monokuma reappears to explain about a traitor and their school memories being stolen from them.

Byakuya proposes an all-nighter party, with Nagito having to clean the lodge for the event.
