Monosuke

Monosuke (モノスケ Monosuke) is one of the antagonists featured in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony.

He is part of a group called the Monokuma Kubs along with his siblings Monotaro, Monokid, Monodam and Monophanie that control Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles alongside their father Monokuma. He is the straight man of the group.

Bonus Mode
In the bonus mode, he and his siblings are headmasters of a Hope's Peak Academy like school.

Appearance
Monosuke's appearance is similar to that of his father, Monokuma, but the part that is black on Monokuma consists of yellowish brown and dark brown stripes. Likewise, his left eye is white, contrasting Monokuma's. Unlike most Monokumas, Monosuke's whole left eye occasionally glows white light instead of having small red glow.

He has bright pink cheeks and eyelashes on his right eye.He dons a pair of round black glasses, an abacus, and a yellow pacifier.

Personality
Monosuke is a child-like robot. He is the most cool-headed in the group and appears to be the most intelligent as well. However, he is neither mature nor docile, and he has a horrible mouth similar to Monokid.

He acts like the straight man of a double act stand-up comedy. He often displays a positive attitude even in the middle of an argument between members. He tends to be the one correcting his siblings whenever they say something nonsensical.

Being a Monokuma, he enjoys killing and gore, though he acts more calm about it than overly excited Monokid.
