Executions

Executions appear in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair and Ultra Despair Girls - Danganronpa Another Episode. In Danganronpa and Danganronpa 2, they appear at the end of every Class Trial when someone is voted guilty. In Ultra Despair Girls, they appear after every boss battle.

Danganronpa: Tripper Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
Executions are used at the end of every class trial once everyone has picked someone to be guilty, if they successfully pick the blackened, they and they alone will be executed. If they pick wrong, everyone except the blackened will be executed.

However there are some exceptions to this rule, in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Jin Kirigiri is executed in the Prologue, before the killing game began. In Chapter 4, a special guest for the execution was used as the blackened was also the victim, via suicide, and Monokuma wanted to get rid of it as it had accessed the school's computer network. In Chapter 5, Monokuma set up a show trial as the Mastermind was annoyed with Kyoko Kirigiri attempting to find the truth. In both variations of the execution, although technically the students are incorrect, Monokuma accepts the results as valid, as the mastermind wants to keep the others alive to bring despair to the world. Likewise in Danganronpa 2, in Chapter 5, Monokuma decides to execute Monomi with Chiaki Nanami, as Monomi and Chiaki were both part of the Future Foundation, Monokuma's enemy, and that Monokuma found Monomi's interference annoying.

The executions appear to be based on the talents of the people being executed, however in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, this is not always the case and is only based on the talent twice.

Ultra Despair Girls: Danganronpa - Another Episode
In Ultra Despair Girls, executions are done differently, they are either used to symbolise a characters death but usually occur at the end of a boss battle, the person inside the robot will be executed, either by the Monokuma kids or the robot itself in an explosion.

At the end of Ultra Despair Girls, it was revealed that all of those in executions after boss battles survived and were now battling the Monokuma robots.
