Ultimate Hunt

The Ultimate Hunt (超高校級狩り Chō kōkō-kyū kari lit. Super High School Level Hunt) is a major event in the backstory of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, which was actually fabricated by Team Danganronpa as part of the 53rd season of the Danganronpa reality show.

Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
The Ultimate Hunt started during the events of the Gofer Project. It occurred due to people around the world finding out about the Gofer Project and started as a result, the Ultimate Hunt.

The Ultimate Hunt began to encompass the entire world, and the sixteen students who had tried to run away were gradually cornered. And so the organization that had tried to implement the Gofer Project in the first place tried to counter that situation.

They began spreading false information, saying that all sixteen students had died. That was that funeral the students remembered via Flashback Light. By doing so, they managed to calm down the Ultimate Hunt while providing protection to those sixteen students. And finally, they were able to put the Gofer Project into action.

During the Killing School Semester. the Ultimate Hunt was first mentioned when the Monokubs introduced themselves and started to talk to the students about their "lost memories" about them having a Ultimate talent and supposedly erasing them to run away from the Gofer Plan.

Rantaro seems to be the only one who knew from the start what the Ultimate Hunt was, as he asked in Chapter 1 if anyone else remembered it. It is later revealed that before getting his memory altered, he wrote a message to his future self about it using his Survivor Perk.
