Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls[b] is an action-adventure video game developed by Spike Chunsoft for PlayStation Vita.

[5] A manga adaptation/continuation of the game, Genocider Mode, was published by Kadokawa Shoten and Dark Horse Comics across two separate runs from January 27, 2015 to October 13, 2017, respectively written and illustrated by Machika Minami and Touya Hajime, while an anime sequel, "Ultra Despair Girls", aired on August 22, 2016 as the seventh episode of Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School.

Using the Hacking Gun, Komaru can perform various actions, such as attacking enemies, taking control of them, activating certain machinery, or scanning the environment for clues or hidden items.

[7] Monocoins earned from defeating enemies can be used to purchase upgrades for both Komaru's Hacking Gun and Jill's scissors, and various skills can be unlocked and equipped, such as extended health.

They force Komaru to join their "Demon Hunting" game and drop her into the city, where she is saved by homicidal maniac Genocide Jill, who soon reverts to her true self, Toko Fukawa, a survivor of Hope's Peak High School's killing game alongside Byakuya and Makoto and who currently works as an intern of Future Foundation despite her status as a survivor.

Komaru and Toko learn that the Warriors of Hope worship Junko Enoshima, the Ultimate Despair responsible for bringing about the end of the world, and seek to create a successor.

[2][9] However, if Komaru chooses to destroy the controller before learning its true purpose, the Bad Ending is triggered and all of the Monokuma Kids are killed as their masks explode.

[13] Kodaka stated that he spent an equal amount of time writing the dialogue and backstories for the protagonists (originally developed for Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc) as he did for the antagonists.

[14] One aspect of Ultra Despair Girls that the development team was worried about was whether the shift in gameplay genres would alienate players who were not good at action games.

A manga by Machika Minami, titled Zettai Zetsubō Shōjo: Danganronpa Another Episode: Genocider Mode, began serialization in Kadokawa Shoten's Dengeki Maoh magazine from January 2015.

[26] On August 22, 2016, an anime sequel to the game, written by Yuichiro Higashide and directed by Yohei Fukui, was broadcast as the seventh episode of Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, following Monaca Towa appearing in a recurring role in the Future Arc, with a further epilogue to the game being included at the conclusion of the Hope Arc.
