Spears of Gungnir

Spears of Gungnir (グングニルの槍 lit. Gungnir's Spear) is an execution featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, with Mukuro Ikusaba being executed.

Sequence
After Mukuro (disguised as Junko Enoshima) violated one of the school rules by using violence towards Monokuma, he immediately called upon the Spears of Gungnir, which emerged from the floor and impaled Mukuro all over her body. Mukuro was shocked by this; as the plan was for her to be locked in a dungeon. However Junko decided to kill her on a whim to showcase the danger of Monokuma and to experience the despair of killing her own sister.

Aftermath
In Chapter 5, Junko used Mukuro's body as the "victim" of the fifth murder case in order to frame Kyoko Kirigiri, the Ultimate Detective, for murder, allowing the latter to be executed in the Class Trial. In Chapter 6, the injuries Mukuro sustained lead to the others determining that she was in fact the Junko they had originally met.

Trivia

 * In Norse mythology, Gungnir was the Legendary weapon of Odin, once used to fight the monstrous wolf Fenrir during Ragnarok.
 * Fenrir was also the name of the mercenary group which Mukuro was affiliated.
 * Mukuro's death was similar to Chiaki Nanami's death in Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc, due to both victims being suddenly impaled by dozens of spears. Both deaths also doubled as acts of betrayal from those who were closest to them (Junko in Mukuro's case and Chisa Yukizome in Chiaki's case).
 * Her death was later referenced in Danganronpa Gaiden: Killer Killer, where Eiichiro Saiyama was impaled through his body with a giant pen, similar to the spears in Mukuro's case.
 * The Spears of Gungnir were referenced in Island Mode as a constructable tool. The spears with chains on the handle found in Nezumi Castle, one of which was used in Nagito Komaeda's death, were also referred to as Spears of Gungnir by Monokuma.
 * In Danganronpa: Kibō no Gakuen to Zetsubō no Kōkōsei THE STAGE (2014), the Spears of Gungnir were used as the main method of execution.
