Jabberwock Island

Jabberwock Island is the primary setting of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.

It is actually an archipelago, consisting of five bigger islands connected by a smaller, central island. According to the information pamphlet, it is located in the Pacific Ocean.

It revealed in Chapter 6 that the Jabberwock Island shown in the second game is actually part of the Neo World Program, a virtual version from the real Jabberwock Island.

Prior to the Neo World Program
Jabberwock Island is a small archipelago in the Pacific Ocean, a paradise of everlasting summer with natural beauty. Jabberwock comprises one small central island and a group of five islands surrounding it.

The resort was developed around the outer islands, and a magnificent administration building was built on the central island. The lobby of the administration building houses a statue representing the island. One moves between the five islands by a ferry boat service. At first some people requested bridges to be built, but they were refused due to concern for the environment.

During the events of the Neo World Program
According to a conversation between Sonia Nevermind, Hajime Hinata, and Monokuma, Jabberwock Island was made by the Future Foundation and is, in other words, an artificial island. (Hinted by Monokuma saying "those guys" and "huge organization/fearsome group" in the game).

Future Foundation rebuilt the island by adding or removing many features, such as: However, a certain someone brought a virus which messed up and hacked the Neo World Program, allowing Monokuma to enter the island and defeat Usami, which made the Field Trip of Mutual Killing start. Monokuma also changed some features when the Mutual Killing started, they are:
 * Removing the administration building on the central island.
 * Adding Surveillance Cameras throughout the island which connect directly to the Future Foundation.
 * Creating bridges and connecting them to every island. They also shelter the bridges.
 * Taking the boats away from the island and taking out the airplane engines in the airport.
 * Adding teacher's rules which must be obeyed by the students.
 * Turning "Usami" into "Monomi".
 * Replacing the original Jabberwock Statue with his Monobeasts, who later guarded every sheltered island bridge.
 * Building a trial ground (Monokuma Rock) on the central island.
 * Adding a countdown bomb (Neo World Program countdown bomb) on the central island, at the original Jabberwock Statue location.
 * Building a Funhouse on the fourth island
 * Replacing the old teacher's rules with Field Trip of Mutual Killing rules.

Central Island
The central island is the main island that connects all five islands on Jabberwock Island, Monokuma usually used this island as a gathering place.

Locations found on this island are :

Jabberwock Park
'Quiet Park. A statue symbolizing the island is erected there.' Used as a gathering place when Monokuma called the students together; there is also a Neo World Program Countdown bomb planted on the Monobeast statue, but before Monokuma came to the island, it was the original location of the Jabberwock Statue. This is where Hajime first meet with Byakuya Togami.

Bridges
There are bridges which connected all the islands together and it was sheltered by Monokuma when the Mutual Killing started. The bridges are also guarded by the Monobeasts, but when a trial ends, Monomi defeats them one by one.

It's revealed that the bridges were built by the Future Foundation, knowing that before the Neo World Program commenced, tourists visited each island via ferry.

Monokuma Rock
Monokuma Rock was built by Monokuma himself when the Mutual Killing started. It's used as a court room whenever a murder occurs. Monokuma also equipped the Rock with an escalator which connects Monokuma Rock with the land and also included an elevator wide enough to be filled with 15-16 people. Monokuma changes the design of the court room in every different trial.

The First Island
Appropriately titled, this is the first island to be explored. Hajime wakes up along the coast, and Nagito Komaeda is there to greet him. After Hajime gains his bearings, he begins to explore.

The First Island is the only island which isn't guarded by a Monobeast, because it was already unlocked by Usami when the students were transported to the island. This island is where the students live, and where the first murder takes place.

In Chapter 3, Hiyoko makes a memorial dedicated to Mahiru here, to which most of the other students suggest burning the memorial down as they believed it looked more like someone was cursing Mahiru rather than a memorial to her. They later took back their complaints after realizing how much Hiyoko put into building the memorial and remains standing for the rest of the game.
