Anyone who doesn't like the ending to this game is crazy I'll say it.
I did not expect them to go FULL-ON metafiction on me at the end, but wow was it entertaining and fun. An amazing culmination of the series with so many twists I can't even count them all.
The mastermind reveal (BOTH OF THEM) but especially Tsumugi was so well done I'm still reeling. This was like "Akechi hearing Morgana say pancakes" level of mindfuck.
She went to the bathroom guys.
And don't even get me started on the TRUUUE mastermind.
Insanity.

Before V3, I honestly wasn't the biggest fan of Danganronpa. 1 was not bad, 2 was a LOT better, but this? It truly made me a fan of the series. Such an ambitious climax I can only respect Kodaka for ending his most popular franchise like this.
Not only that but the characters in V3 blow 1 and 2's out of the water. Maki and Kaito's relationship with Shuichi, Keebo's gradual evolution into an indispensable factor, Tsumugi's secret... Even lesser characters like Korekiyo are just so fun (like seriously the stuff he does in THAT chapter is just so ridiculous, it's amazing).

However, fuck Hangman's Gambit and Psyche Taxi.
