Before anyone asks Blast Off! And The Spears of Gungir are included at the end of the video. I placed them last since I’m sure most of you are more interested in hearing about the other 6 executions mentioned first. Also I apologize for some of the questionable edits in this video. I got hit with a ton of copyright claims and was trying to edit around them. Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the video!

I feel like that Jin Kirigiri's execution could be a symbol of the Academy's fall. Since Jin was the headmaster of Hope's Peak at the time, he went down with the academy. Hope's Peak Academy was a symbol of hope, which could be the rocket blasting off, and the end of Hope's Peak was the despair Junko made, the fall of the rocket. In the end, the Academy was a skeleton of what it use to be.

The fire truck in celestes execution can also be viewed as reality finally hitting her, as the play is set in an archaic era with queens, but the fire truck was modern.

I always thought the reason why Makoto and Kyoko aren't tied to their chairs in their executions was because by that point they both know that escaping the execution is impossible, and they have no choice but to just sit there and wait for their execution to end.

I heard somewhere that the reason Leon was dragged by a chain to his execution to represent the hatred he now has for baseball, but is being forced to play because he's an ultimate.

“He would probably look more like guacamole or salsa, sorry to anyone eating that right now.”

Me, choking a bit: N-nah, all good-

[lana_va]

after mondo got executed i’m pretty sure taka starved himself because he was scared he would eat mondo

[argr]

I think that “After School Lesson” was meant to be Junko’s execution since she was the “real” killer in the last case. It’s weird that Makoto and Kirigiri share the same execution and it really does not fit either of them; on the other hand, it perfectly fits Junko’s idea of boredom! It’s also relevant that Junko was actually killed by “After School Lesson” during the Ultimate Punishment

Some sad facts about kiyotakas reaction to mondos death

-it's cannon that no music played during mondos death so all everyone (Besides the audience watching the anime/game) could hear was Kiyotaka screaming and begging for the execution to stop.

- Kiyotaka starved himself thinking that monokuma would feed him mondo because as we all know monokuma is a little shit

In conclusion: Kiyotaka is best boy and deserved better in the killing game.

Danganronpa executions are so weirdly beautiful. They have so much thought put onto it. Even tho it's literally someone dying, I love rewatching them just to see that beautiful animation.

[wellshehasagreatpersonalit]

I thought the pause in Junko's execution was to get Junko's hopes up, before quickly dropping on her before she could realize so she wouldn't be able to die with that sweet sweet despair she hoped for. But that was just my idea lol

[Grey-io]

I’m really excited to see how she explains mondo butter lol

[enddorb]

Two things:
Regarding Alter Ego's execution, I feel the use of a bulldozer may be a reference to Sakura, and how her motive was having her dojo saved; it's likely the bulldozer was salvaged from what monokuma intended her execution to be
Regarding Junko's execution, I didn't think that final moment was supposed to be boredom. I think that at the end, she was confused when the machine paused; instead of feeling despair in her final moments like she would want, she dies confused

This is just how I interpreted it, but I think there’s an extra little wrinkle to Mondo’s execution. I’d always wondered why Monokuma had his little hairdo— just “making fun of it” didn’t sit right with me. I think it was to represent Daiya’s death, where the younger brother drove the older brother to death. I think that’s why he has the hair— Monokuma is supposed to represent Mondo, since he is the smaller one with the lighter hair, and Mondo is supposed to be Daiya, the older brother killed by the younger one. Mondo’s death was reminiscent of his brother’s, likely to make him despair over guilt of Daiya’s death.

Maybe this is a stretch, but that’s what it seemed like to me haha

[milli]

out of everyone's executions in danganronpa 1, Mondo's is by far the most confusing, disgusting and horrifying to me. Just because he was completely conscious during it

[flip.]

Leon's execution still gives me chills

[johnwebb]

I think the reason Makoto and Kyoko’s death were both school themed was because they were, in monokumas point of view, trouble makers. Unlike the other executions they weren’t being executed for killing anyone but because Monokuma wanted to punish them for getting too close to solving the mystery of the school and for ruining their “school lives.” I think monokuma wanted to taunt them by saying if they had just played by the rules and stopped poking their noses everywhere they wouldn’t be in “detention” right now.

In Jin's execution, theres actually an article of an astronaut falling to Earth. As he was falling he kept cursing the operators. He was reduced to a lump of burnt meat instead of a skeleton. It might also represent how Hopes Peak was such a high standard school only to fall on the hands of their own student.

[dDeckon]

I've always interpreted Junko's Execution as: each one killing one of her personas until there was just "herself" left

Time to take a painful trip down _Memory Lane_
