Killing School Trip

The Killing School Trip is a killing game featured as the focus of the plot in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Like the Killing School Life and the Final Killing Game, it is hosted by Monokuma.

The participants of the Killing Game were fifteen members of the Remnants of Despair, and an observer from the Future Foundation. The killing game took place inside a virtual world known as the Neo World Program, which resembles Jabberwock Island.

The Neo World Program's original purpose was to remove the brainwashing effect on the fifteen students, until Izuru Kamukura uploaded an AI version of Junko Enoshima, which messes up the entire program and starts the killing game.

History
Although Izuru was labeled as a Remnant of Despair, he was never brainwashed into committing despair-inducing acts. He took an interest in despair for its unpredictability, after he was persuaded by Junko to take part in the first killing game. Later on, however, Izuru bore witness to another event which served as evidence of how unpredictable hope can be. Ultimately, he remained undecided between hope and despair, and thus merely spent his tenure as a member of Ultimate Despair in order to witness Junko's despair while looking for an opportunity to pit hope and despair against each other.

After Junko's death, Izuru convinced the other Remnants of Despair to participate in a new plan: allow the Future Foundation to capture them and put them in the Neo World Program, an advanced computer simulation intended to purge the brainwashing that had driven them to despair. Izuru then started to upload an AI version of Junko into the program, corrupting it and forcing the Remnants to take part in a killing game. Their plan was to make the Junko AI inhabit their bodies by "killing" them in the simulation, effectively reviving their leader several times over. However, Izuru's true aim was to set up a battle between hope and despair, allowing him to choose which side to take once and for all.

Overview
Like the Killing School Life, the Killing School Trip is a killing game where the students are forced to murder in order to escape. After a killing has taken place, the students must work together and investigate to reveal the culprit, dubbed as the "blackened". After a period of time of investigating, Monokuma will initiate a class trial, where the remaining students present their arguments in a court room and try to find out who the blackened is among them. Once the students decide on a conclusion, Monokuma will start the "voting time", where the students vote on the identity of a blackened. If the majority of the students' votes are wrong, then the blackened can get out of the school, while the remaining students get executed. However, if the majority of the students choose correctly, then the blackened alone will be executed and the remaining students will remain unharmed.

Motives
Similar to the previous killing games, Monokuma decided to make motives in order to escalate the students' desire to kill each other.
 * Motive #1: Lost Memories
 * Motive #2: Twilight Syndrome Murder Case
 * Motive #3: Despair Disease

Results and Aftermath
Ten out of fifteen Remnants of Despair remained comatose in the immediate aftermath, and the other five opted to stay on Jabberwock Island until they could find a way to help them. A peacekeeping squad was dispatched by Kyosuke Munakata to Jabberwock Island to kill the survivors, but Byakuya Togami's own squad saved them and presumably transported all the inhabitants off of the island.

Sometime during the Final Killing Game, all of the comatose victims of the Killing School Trip were awakened from their comas by Izuru. Purged of their previous brainwashing, they joined their remaining friends in rescuing the Future Foundation and stopping Ryota Mitarai from brainwashing the world. After taking the blame for the Final Killing Game, the whole class (including Ryota) decides to return back to Jabberwock Island.

Trivia

 * With 5 non-comatose survivors, and 10 comatose survivors, all of which eventually woke up, the Killing School Trip ultimate result has the least casualties. This is due to the Killing Game occurring in a virtual reality, those who were killed only entered a comatose state and were revived later.  Only one participant remained dead in real life.
