This article covers Hifumi Yamada's School Mode events, which feature in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. In this article you will find a guide to which trip options will give the best results, full transcripts of each trip, and transcripts of his Trigger Happy Heart event and School Mode ending.
After choosing where to go on a trip, Makoto will have a series of conversation topics to choose from. Depending on the option chosen, Makoto will receive a different response:
Best Option
1 heart
Good Option
½ heart
Bad Option
No hearts
Worst Option
No hearts
When getting close to 10 full hearts, Hifumi's Trigger Happy Heart event will be triggered, which will give Makoto an insight into Hifumi's inner thoughts.
Achieving 10 hearts will unlock Hifumi's ending at the end of School Mode. On the 51st day of School Mode, Makoto will be alone in the Gym with any characters that the player has earned full max reputation with. Talking to them will trigger a final dialogue choice option. If the player selects the correct answer, they will receive that character's special present - that character's underwear. This will also unlock a heart icon next to that character's picture's on subsequent playthroughs of School Mode.
Trips[]
Dining Hall[]
So what do you like to do at night?
I work hard coming up with names, of course! I have to be ready to release my next creation the instant I get out of here...! A creator who doesn't give life and form to his creations is no creator at all!
You know... If you're interested, you should stop by and check out my studio sometime. I even have an experience-based apprenticeship program you could—
No thanks.
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
Wanna eat something?
Well...yeah, but "something" is kinda vague, isn't it? But since we're on the topic! I *am* feeling a bit peckish, so...how about pizza!?
Oh, and with a Diet Coke, naturally.
Are you sure you can digest all that...?
I think we both had a pretty good time.
How do you get your hair to do that?
That's a trade secret. ...
Stop looking at me! I can't tell you! It's a trade secret!
Absolutely! A creator needs food he can enjoy without having to stop working.
And when you're as talented as me... ...you can down a megaburger with a single hand! Burger in one hand, a drink in the other. Take a bite, take a swig, trade the drink for a fistful of fries...
Gosh, it's just the best!
But...that sounds like you *would* have to stop working...
I think we both had a pretty good time.
So, Japanese or Western for breakfast?
Actually, I tend to pull a lot of all-nighters. So I don't really eat breakfast! Usually I just gorge on potato chips and cup noodle till the sun comes up.
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Every meal is important.
Some may think man can survive on bread alone, but this isn't true...!
However! That being said, man cannot survive WITHOUT bread, either!
Step one, food! Step two, food! Steps three and four, who cares!? Step five, food food fooooood! Keep yourself well fed, and the rest of the world will take care of itself. So let's eat!
Wait...right now? What!?
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
Do you know how to cook?
You can turn any personal experience or interest into the core of a story. That's the nature of a creator. However...
A story needs characters, right? Some might be good at cooking, but some might also be bad at it! That's how you create a realistic world.
So I guess what he's trying to say is...no.
I think we both had a pretty good time.
What should we talk about...?
What!? To hear those words from the one who invited me here...
This is awful! How many flags did you forget to trigger to create this state of affairs!?
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
School Store[]
I remember those toy vending machines!
Ahh, such a treasure chest brings memories flooding back...! That unique feeling of putting your money in and turning the knob...! Indeed, the act itself could be considered a self-contained microcosm of...
And yet! I've poured coin after coin into hundreds, THOUSANDS of these machines! Embarrassing as it is to admit, there was a toy set I absolutely had to collect. I learned that if there's something in there you *really* want, you just gotta buy every last unit!
And I call that... ...adult purchasing power!
I remember I'd go to a store, buy a piece of candy, and have them give me all coins for my change. Thinking back on it, I see that I was always destined to become the man I am today. Even then, I saw the proper method for completing any social system I'm focused on.
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
Let's dig for treasure!
Treasure hunting, huh? Yeah, not a bad idea.
Places like this often have unknown treasure just waiting to be discovered! Sometimes, smaller stories have items that are super popular, that normally just fly off the shelf. But maybe the normal customers don't know what they're looking at, and that stuff gets ignored! And if I order it online or something, I might not get it right on the release date. And at that time...!
Rather than going to the places I know will have it for sure, I like to go to places like this! I figure, hey, this or that store might have it. And I go, and they do! And I win! "Aw, my package didn't come! Damn!" "Agh, the chain store was sold out again!" With stores like this, I don't have to go through that crap.
Little out-of-the-way places like this are important in creating a world of convenience!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
That's a pretty cute doll.
Psh. Shows what you know. Compares to Princess Piggles' cuteness quotient and loveliness level, this thing is crap! You need to go back for a proper education, Mr. Naegi!
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Things are piled up to the ceiling...
Indeed! You've got a good eye! This is a very popular technique called “condensed display.” Excellent at provoking customer interest! Creating even a single circular condensed display can make a huge difference in sales.
Even if you display old or unpopular merchandise, it seems to work. Just by putting them all together, customers are more likely to buy at least one of them. It's a pretty crazy phenomenon!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
There's all kinds of paintings here...
I can't believe they even sell stuff like this at the school store. But to be totally honest, nothing really catches my eye. Oh well!
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Is that an accordion...?
If I'm being honest...I couldn't care less. Maybe if there was even a single anime out there focused on accordions, that would flip my switch.
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Do they have any anime DVDs in stock?
There should be a few copies of Demon Angel☆Pretty Pudgy Princess floating around. Because, you see...
...in order to spread the piggy gospel, I secretly placed some here myself! I'm hoping more and more people will come by and check it out, and start requesting it more. And thus, we propagate the pudgy princess to the rest of the culture!
It was the perfect plan!
Guhuhu... More and more fellow fans...!
There's so much wrong with everything he just said... But I'm just gonna keep my mouth shut.
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
Who would buy this kind of armor?
Yeah. I dunno who was in charge of stocking this place, but they must be kinda crazy! If they really wanna see sales soar, they should stock some of my fanfic!
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
That vase is shaped kinda funny!
Instead of these dull shapes, they should have vases shaped like different characters! Why do they have all this junk?
I just don't understand!
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Library[]
I love reading!
I have no interest in other people's creations! If I want to read a story, I'll write one myself! For I am Hifumi, chosen by the gods!
Gwehehe... I do amaze myself sometimes. Oh, but anime doesn't count. That's kinda like...dessert.
I think we both had a pretty good time.
I'm gettin' kinda sleepy...
Honestly, I don't see anything in here worth my time. And I've heard that the Spanish custom of “siestas” is very good at increasing brain functions. So, ya know... *Yaaawn*
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Should we spend some time studying?
Huh? Why would you go out of your way to study? Why would I take any part in such an act!? Feel free to murder your own soul if you like...!
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
I just wanna read comics...
Yes, Mr. Naegi! I knew you felt the same way! Finally, someone's taste matches my own!
But what does that say about whoever's in charge of this school? Teens like us need that kind of thing to help us pass the time!
We don't need a bunch of pretentious, incomprehensible encyclopedias!
I want to spend much, MUCH more time talking about this with you, Mr. Naegi!
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
There sure are a lot of books here.
Well, it *is* a library, after all.
And yet, despite all these books, not a single young adult novel! YA fiction is all the rage these days! You can find it anywhere! This place is bringing me down...
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Here's a book called “Intro to Comics.”
It's because you rely on such trite rubbish that your own hidden talents do not bloom!
The only worthwhile comics textbook is comics themselves! That "intro" book of yours is filled with nothing but illusions! Keep such sacrilege away from the genius Hifumi!
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Do they have any of your stuff here?
No! Good grief! This is inexcusable! They have all this space here, and they don't have a single one of my creations!
All you have to say is "Cool Japan" and it's all over. They use that inexcusable trend to shove fanfic off into a corner!
Oh-ho! I see what this is... You're trying to find out where the genius Hifumi draws his information from!
How disappointing, Mr. Naegi. You see, everyone finds their sense of moe from different sources. A completely boring subject to me might get someone else totally fired up.
With that in mind, please search for your own moenspiration!
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Rec Room[]
I'm not sure about any of these games...
Hrmm...indeed... I see nothing here to stimulate my creative impulses. However...
Perhaps somewhere in this empty space, I'll find some clue to lead me to a whole new universe!
For that is genius! THAT is Hifumi! The higher the hurdle before me, the hotter I burn to overcome it!
Kh—! Mr. Naegi, do you know what you're saying? What about entertainment? Have you no mind for that?
There is nothing here I would classify as having any level of entertainment value!
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Let's play some pool.
Gwehehe... Are you issuing a challenge to me? You probably look at me and guess that I'm no good at pool.
How naive can you be!?
I've let this arm loose in many an offline meeting. Would you like to see what it can do!?
I think we both had a pretty good time.
You wanna read a magazine?
Sorry, but I've already read every magazine I'm interested in at least once. The rest, to be honest, aren't worth my time.
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Let's give darts a shot.
While I am happy to admit that I'm sensitive to all the latest fads... ...I don't waste my time taking part in them! That part is entirely worthless.
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Is that a slot machine back there?
Mr. Naegi! Are you challenging me, who has the mandate of heaven, to a game of luck!? You foolish boy!
The gods have given me talent in more arenas than just the creation of fan fiction! Unbelievably good luck is another of my many traits! You may think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not!
After all, you need a certain amount of luck to succeed in the fanfic world to begin with!
Of course I realize that you are the Ultimate Lucky Student, so... Come on, let's do it! A fair fight between equals!
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
A massage chair...
Gweh...guhuhu... Gentle movements massaging away the stress of a day of creating... Ahh, I can't get enough!
What about you, Mr. Naegi? Guhuhuhu...!
Oh-ho! But I'm first! I refuse to hand it over!
Wh-Why's he getting so excited? Is he into massaging that much?
I think we both had a pretty good time.
There's lots of magazines here.
The selection is so-so. They're all old editions, though. Nothing new here...
No comics, no books I wanna read, these magazines...
Their selection isn't much better than what you'd find at a little rural hot spring, ya know?
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Music Room[]
Do you do karaoke a lot?
Yeah, all the time! It's one of my staple activities when I meet up with my online friends!
Loading up an anime theme, busting out that melody with one loud, shared heart.
It's a great way to close the distance between people who don't know each other all that well.
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Are you a fan of music?
If I have to say yes or no, I'd say yes. But if I could say not really, then...not really.
Because it's not just the openings and the background songs I like, but the entire work!
Wait, what? Why'd things get so specific all of a sudden...?
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Are you good at any instruments?
Nope! ...
Damn... I guess that's a non-starter.
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
There's lots of speakers here...
Hmhm, yes! Quite a good number, indeed! There might be more here than in a small movie theater...
With all this nice audio equipment... I wanna watch all my anime in here! Let's bring some up with us next time, okay?
I think we both had a pretty good time.
This place is pretty nice...
Yeah, I guess it is.
But the layout is kind of inconvenient if I wanted to hold an exhibition here. Then again, it might be okay for a screening...
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
That piano looks pretty expensive...
There's something familiar about this shape... ...
I think this might be the same kind that the heroine of that one anime used.
Ng-gh-gh...! I can't remember what it was called! If only I was at home, I could just go through my DVDs and figure it out in no time. ...I wanna go home. I wanna go home right now!
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
So...what's your favorite kind of music?
Gehehe... What a foolish question. Isn't it obvious?
The opening theme to Demon Angel☆Pretty Pudgy Princess! The shock of that first refrain! I'd love to just split it into halves and give you a piece!
The entire show is magnificent, of course, but that opening is just pure bliss! Ahh... Just thinking about it now is positively enchanting!
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
I've always wanted to see some live music.
Oh, you mean like a live performance of an anime theme, right?
Like when they bring out the actors to announce a show's soft release. I go to those all the time!
Only a true believer is into the culture enough to know about those special events.
And when you go, you're showing your support to the show's creators!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Can you play the piano?
Hmm? Did you say something, Mr. Naegi?
Maybe I shouldn't have asked...
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Garden[]
Wanna walk around a bit?
May as well. There's nothing else to do here...
And while we're on our little sojourn... ...I can tell you all about the splendid magnificence of Princess Piggles! Oh, but don't worry. I'll be sure to start with the very basics so you can keep up.
I think we both had a pretty good time.
The happy blue sky kinda cheers me up...
Alas, it's just an imitation.
Oh, sorry. Did it sound like I was blaming you? No... It's just that my delicate heart can never be satisfied with a mere facsimile.
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
You wanna check out the tool shed?
Um...why would I want to do that? We're not looking for anything, right? So why would we go in the tool shed?
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Should we take a nap?
I approve, Mr. Naegi! Ignoring that grotesque plant, this is the perfect atmosphere for a nice, lazy nap. Okay then, let's do it! Nap time!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
That flower's kinda creepy...
Something about it makes me feel like it could attack any second. It feels so bizarre... Kh... it's too bad, you know. If it only had tentacles, there'd be all kinds of uses for it...
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
There's a sprinkler.
Nggg... Nghhhh...! Yes, that is most definitely...a sprinkler...! Wh-What are you suggesting we do with it...!?
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Do you like this place?
I don't think I can quite say that, but... ...I do come here once in a while for inspiration. There just isn't enough variety going from the dorms to the normal school area.
As soon as I get outta here, I'm gonna slap the world of fanfic in the face with my heaving libido!
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Who takes care of these plants? Monokuma?
I would assume so. I mean, we don't even have a gardening committee here. Or...maybe there's a janitor here somewhere.
Huh... I have no idea why I thought we'd need an entire committee...
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
We can't eat these chickens...
People become capable of anything when they're on the verge of death! You know how many stories I've heard of comic creators living off muddy rainwater?
Not that I've ever had to do that myself, of course!
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
General Reactions[]
These dialogues are the reactions Makoto will receive at the end of the trip, depending on which choice was made.
Best Option
We certainly got fired up today, didn't we!? I'm amazed at how much fun we had together, Mr. Naegi. It was most unexpected!
It's rare for someone to exceed my expectations, you know. I eagerly await our next opportunity to deepen our friendship!
For now, let us return!
Good Option
I had fun today! I will gladly accept any future invitation, so please don't hesitate to ask anytime.
Oh! But... Not during my nightly refresh period! Okay, we should get back now!
Bad Option
Hmm...I'm pretty exhausted. We're done, right? I wanna go back to my room and watch some Pudgy Princess. If you'll excuse me...
Worst Option
Hugyah...! It's more than just being tired... When you invite me out, I feel...trapped, pressured. Could you kindly learn some social skills? Now then...time to vanish.
Trigger Happy Heart[]
Trigger Happy Heart is a minigame in School mode. It uses mechanics similar to the Non Stop Debate trial minigame during Class Trials. During this event, Makoto will get insight into Hifumi's inner thoughts, and can refute or confirm something he is anxious about by using special Truth Bullets called "negation" and "affirmation". Successfully navigating this event is necessary to unlock Hifumi's ending.

Options[]
Affirmation: handed down from the gods
The talent you have—only *you* have it, Hifumi.
Listen, you don't have to flatter me so much.
Ah, sorry! I didn't mean anything weird...
You don't have to apologize, Mr. Naegi! My talent was given to me by the gods, absolutely. But there's more to it than just *having* the talent! I've mastered that talent, and learned how to harness it in the proper way!
If you're given power, and use it improperly, if you use it to do evil in the world... ...however brave or strong you might be, you'll be destroyed, and never stand again.
No, it's thanks to Princess Piggles, too!
Well, Mr. Naegi... Naturally I give the princess thanks for showing me the way all this time!
It looks to me like he had a really good time.
Affirmation: bring about a new era
Bring about a new era, huh? That sounds pretty serious. But also kinda fun...
Oh? Does such a remark stem from recklessness, or just extreme confidence? Can you tell me, Mr. Naegi? Why do you feel that way?
Well, because...your mission was given to you by the gods, right?
Yes! A true genius has no choice but to engage in such a trial! I have to overcome this obstacle of my isolated existence...! And what's waiting on the other side is... ...is history!
So, Mr. Naegi...
U-Umm...yes?
Together, we will claim a most monumental achievement in the world of fan fiction!
Um, well... You say that, but...I'm not really... I mean, monumental achievement?
No need to hesitate! Just do exactly as I say. Ahh! And before you know it, they'll be lining up around the block to see us! Hmph! Another page has been added to the fanfic history book...
I don't understand a word he's saying, but...at least he seems really excited about it.
I think we both had a pretty good time.
Negation: bring about a new era
I wonder about that...
What!?
Whaaaaaaattt!? What do you mean by that!?
Um...don't you think you might be overexaggerating a little bit?
Y-You think so...? So then...that's all you think of me, is it...?
P-Please don't get too upset...
I get the feeling he didn't have much fun...
Negation: handed down from the gods
Is it really handed down from the gods...?
Hm? What, do you doubt me?
No, it's just... If it really was god-given, would it be right to even call it "ultimate"? I think your talent was born from your own actions, your own decisions. *That's* where it comes from.
...
Huh? Hifumi...?
*Sigh* Must you lessen my achievements? You can say that kind of thing online, but when it's in real life, it causes problems.
Huh?
This setting is obviously less than delicious.
Setting...?
My Motivation Gauge has reached 0. I don't even feel like talking...
I don't think things could have gone any worse than that. Crap...
Hifumi's Ending[]
If Makoto has achieved all 10 hearts by the 51st day of School Mode, Makoto will unlock Hifumi's ending.
Hifumi's School Mode Ending
I decided to talk to Hifumi one more time before we all left... I wonder if this is the last time we'll ever see this place... The time we spent here didn't make much sense, but...looking back, I can't say I didn't have fun. There are still some mysteries left. What was Monokuma, really? Why'd we end up here? I still don't have answers, but I'll have time to figure all that out once we escape...
Finally, the day has arrived... We've been through so much, but now it's goodbye to Stink High!
You look really happy, Hifumi.
I very much am! How much time have we lost being locked away in here!? How many games have I missed? How many comics? How much anime has come and gone while I was in here!? Just thinking about it...
It makes me lose my appetite. It makes me feel like I'm gonna explode!
Really...? But there are still so many unsolved mysteries. Like, what was the deal with Monokuma?
It's true, there's a lot we don't know. But it's not like we figured anything out while we were in here, either. And in the meantime, I haven't been able to make use of my talent at all!
That's true. Now that you're free, you can get back to work. Then let's get out of here together!
Absolutely! We've reached our goal, and at the same time created a new starting line!
Right! Let's do this!
...Oh.
What's wrong? What happened?
For your first question, yes...something is wrong. And what happened is that *nothing* happened. Mr. Naegi! I do hope you remember our promise!
Promise...?
So...you don't remember. Remember when we agreed? When we got out of here...
Umm... ...
Do you really not remember!?
What!? No, I do! I do!
Hmmmmmmmmm...
P-Please stop staring at me...
I'll become your biggest fan.
I'll watch your career flourish and become your biggest fan.
...
Such utter disappointment. Everything I said... It went right in one ear and out the other, never taking time to enter your heart...
No, that's not true. This is just a—misunderstanding!
Fine, then. This time, tell me what you *actually* promised.
Hmm...
I'll join you as your editor.
I'll join you as your editor, and help develop all your future achievements. ...
Hungyah...?
I guess that wasn't it...
Naturally, some fanfic creators need an editor to help them develop. But I am the Ultimate Fanfic Creator! I need no editor! From the first kernel of an idea, to the last drop of ink from the printer, I do it all!
So...what was the promise.
I'll join you as your friend.
I'll join you, and help you as your friend.
That's right. You get to observe me as my closest friend, following my every footstep... And then you get to narrate my story to the entire fanfic world! It will be your duty to pass my legacy on to future generations.
Which is why, Mr. Naegi... ...you will serve as my assistant! Digital art is the new thing, so we don't have to worry about ink stains anymore.
And with the digital age, I don't find myself drowning in manuscripts anymore, either. Nor will we have to worry about little pieces of screentone flying this way and that! I do pride myself on my visual flair, though, so I still have to work as hard as ever.
You know, Hifumi...I think I understand your feelings. I'm a total amateur, so I don't know what most of what you just said means, but... ...I'm okay standing by your side as your friend.
Then don't hesitate! An opportunity like this is most rare indeed. And remember...
This isn't just about publicizing my creations. It's about recording the process! As my assistant and my historian, I will hold on to you forever...!
Hold on to me...? I think I might have a problem with that.
OMG STFU!
I was just speaking metaphorically! Although, I think all those yaoi fangirls out there would be totally into it.
So, Mr. Naegi... Be my assistant. Be my true friend... And that was it.
Hifumi said all that with a shy look on his face. But he didn't turn away... I'm looking forward to it.
Gwehehe... Then let's make it official.
With that, we shook hands. I don't know what the future holds, but I know what to expect when it comes to the people here. Hifumi has his own hope, and I have to think about how I can support him in that... For the first time since coming to this school, a vivid image of the future filled my heart... And that's how my school life at Hope's Peak Academy came to an end...
After completing Hifumi's school mode ending, you will receive the following Present:
105. Hifumi's Undergarments
Hifumi's favorite briefs. This one-of-a-kind, not-for-sale-anywhere item was designed to mimic the garments of the galactic king, Robo Justice. Due to Hifumi's exceptional girth, the briefs have been stretched into a rather form-fitting thong.
