Please Insert Coin is an execution in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, with Chiaki Nanami and Monomi being executed.
Sequence[]
Alongside the remaining army of Monomis, Chiaki is confined in a closed room. Monokuma comes in, riding in a tank. He then starts to shoot them, reminiscent of the game Space Invaders. However, Chiaki spots an exit and escapes from the room, taking a Monomi with her, while the other Monomis follow them.
Monokuma chases them down in a Pac-Man shaped machine, trampling several Monomis in the process until there is only one remaining Monomi - the one Chiaki carried.
Afterwards, Chiaki rushes into another room, Monomi in hand, only to bash head-first into a glass wall that prevents them from continuing. With the shutter behind them closing, they are trapped inside the small gap, and several Tetris blocks start to drop down, crushing the last Monomi and, as she accepts her death, Chiaki as well. Once all the Tetris blocks in the last couple of rows are perfectly lined up, it then explodes.
Trivia[]
- Unlike all other executions thus far in the series, this execution's name remained unchanged in the English translation.
- It is also the first execution whose name is written in English in the original Japanese version, as the English phrase "Insert Coin" is typically left untranslated in Japanese video games.
- The games referenced in the execution are Space Invaders, Pac-Man and Tetris, some of the most iconic video games.
- To date, this is the last formal execution in the Hope's Peak Series.
- Interestingly, the execution of Chiaki's real-world counterpart happened to be the first formal execution, from a chronological standpoint.
- In the Super Danganronpa 2: Sayonara Zetsubō Gakuen THE STAGE (2015), AI Chiaki is executed by spear impalement, just like her real-world counterpart.
- Like most other executions, this one starts with a pixel art animation of the blackened being dragged away by Monokuma. However, this one also features Monomi stood next to Chiaki, whom after Chiaki is dragged off-screen, is then also lassoed and pulled away from off-screen as "You too, Monomi!" appears below the usual text.
- The only other executions with a unique pixel art animation are The Ultimate Punishment, Strand of Agony, and Ultimate Annihilation.
- The only other execution with an animation featuring more than two characters is Ultimate Annihilation.
