15+ Strongest Danganronpa Ultimate Abilities

Updated October 1, 2022 by Ernie

One of the  most gruesome anime death games ever created is undeniably Danganronpa. An entire class at each other’s throats fighting for survival.

Table of Contents

Deception, lies, manipulations, backstabbings, secrets and evil plans are on the menu. Combine all that with very peculiar characters with Ultimate abilities more Kakkoii than the other and one of the most addictive series was born.

However, it was never determined who the strongest character was, what was the Ultimate of Ultimate abilities, so we decided to determine for ourselves. Here I present to you a list of the strongest Ultimate abilities of the Danganronpa series. Please take your time reading it and enjoy my dear readers.

 

THE ULTIMATE AMONGST ULTIMATES IN DANGANRONPA!

From the second she opened her eyes; this noble character was made for greatness. Destined to become the future queen of the Kingdom of Novoselic, our prideful princess drowned herself in studies to make sure she was up for the role.

She taped into every field you can think of. From leadership, to law, economics, foreign languages, warfare and even medicine. At that point she’s more a nerd than anything else, but at least you can now start to grasp how intelligent this girl must be.

Unlike any other royal, Sonia puts the needs of her people before her own. If she needs to offer her life for the sake of her kingdom so be it, she’d do it with a smile on her face knowing that she fulfilled her duty.

Known as the Ultimate Princess, no one, even in our mundane world can shoulder that role better than her.

However, the life of a royalty is a lonely one. As no one shared her status, she was surrounded by people with ulterior motives and thus she learned how to read a person.

She grew up without friends, but when she enrolled into Hope’s Peak Academy things changed. She got to enjoy the youth she never had surrounded by people who thought themselves equal if not greater than her (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair)

I don’t know what goes on in this girls’ mind, however the things she comes up with are so random and yet so useful we start to ask ourselves why no one thought of that in the real world. Her brain can be considered a treasure stove.

She knows for a fact that her inventions will change the world. She believes its her duty to make the world a better place since she is the only one capable of coming up and building the crazy stuff she comes up with.

And that’s not her only talent, hacking is also one of her strong suits and let me tell you this, the series should give her a second ultimate title, her skills are just mind-blowing.

Even among the very unique Danganronpa characters, Miu is considered an oddball. Extremely confident in her skills and abilities, she loves to degrade those she believes are beneath her, and that’s approximately the entire world. Okay, I have no nice way to say that, the girl is a bully.

Extremely arrogant, she kind of acts like a tomboy from time to time.Wish can be pretty disturbing when she makes a 360 degree turn and changes into a girly maiden when it suits her (Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony).

This scary looking teenager is a southpaw boxer who already won the World Championship once. An ultimate fighter with a short temper, he might send you flying because of a minuscule disagreement.

That nasty personality of his also bought him the title of the most aggressive character of the series.

Using just his punches, he can destroy not one but multiple Ultimate Despair at once. Even weapons are not enough to make him kneel. He laughs at the face of the people who think they can beat him just because they have a firearm in hand.

However, except for boxing, the kid is absolutely useless. When brute force isn’t needed, he can only be described as weak (DanganRonpa 3: Future Arc Episode 1).

That is why you can also consider him the Ultimate Weapon, when controlled by a smarter character, the guy is almost unstoppable.

So, bottom line, make sure you never make the simpleton angry when you are in front of him, and feel free to use him as a pawn whenever you like, he won’t even realize he is being used… but only if you are Kyosuke Munakata.

Now, with all the deception and lies, even we don’t really know what’s real and what is fake in that series. We can only speculate or just believe what comes out of the characters mouth.

According to Kokichi, he is the head of a secret organization, a massive organization with more than  10,000 members (Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony).

He dresses and acts like a dictator. He claims that he has undercover agents in every country in the world, that the real mastermind behind all the mafias deeds is him, that he will use any kind of torture or punishment to get what he wants from the person.

He even revealed his ultimate goal, take over the world only so he can watch it slowly burn from the sidelines.

However, he doesn’t just have bad intentions, if doing good will get him that adrenaline shot that he loves then even he can decide to do something nice for the world.

To give a 1% chance to his opponent because, you know, he is so kind, he might decide to try to settle fights with games. He also likes to use his title to make the mafia stand down and opt for peace in times of crisis just to see their infuriated faces when forced to listen to the commands of a teenager.

She looks super cute and harmless, however, let me tell you this, this is one of the most dangerous characters of the series.

She makes candies, harmless right? But they aren’t normal to say the least. Her candies have the same effect as hard narcotics, they are extremely addictive.

Not only is she going to turn the humans into fat pigs, but she can also become the greatest drug dealer of our time since no one can throw her in prison for making sweets.

However, her trump card is the sweets that she makes. It has the ability to brainwash the eater and forces him to obey her every command.

She was the first smarty to try and make use of Juzo, she force fed him her product to turn him into her puppet, however, he managed to resist the effect of her ability.

She is the incarnation of the witch in Hansel and Gretel in the anime world, she just needs a candy house to seal the deal (Danganronpa 3: Future Arc, Episode 8l).

She was raised and trained to become a greater detective than Sherlock Holmes. From a very young age, her grandfather took her under his wing, made her his disciple and taught her the ropes of the job.

At only 13-year-old, she was officially acknowledged by the government as a legitimate detective of the highest caliber.

Analysis could be her second name. She can read clues as if they are a detailed book describing the crime.

Throughout the series, she proved herself to be the best at what she does and what’s even better is that she used her skills and abilities to aid others.

In a death game surrounded by traitors and dirty human beings who had only their own benefits in mind, she had the will to assist her classmates in times of need.

If it was to ease their hearts, to get them out of a pinch or just to stand by them as a moral support, she was ready to extend a helping hand and that is why she is one of the most precious characters in Danganronpa. In all that darkness, she was one of the rare rays of light.

Covered with ripped muscles from head to toe, Sakura can no longer be considered a girl, she is a beast, a fighting monster that can overpower any man with ease. And to be honest, she is the pride and joy of her gender.

She is only a teenager; she is a girl and yet she won more than 400 straight wins in martial arts tournaments back in America and let me just point out that not all her opponents were women.

Her father, who taught her all she knows, was massacred by her not long after her training began. The student surpassed the master at an exorbitant rate.

Only one man, just one, stands above her, his name is Kenshiro and he also happened to be her crush.

Now I don’t think he is undefeated because of his strength, it’s just that she can’t bring herself to hurt  the beautiful face of the man she wants as a husband. Now, sorry to say that

She is proficient in every type of martial arts and thus her favorite one is MMA, an art that combines all the fighting styles under one cage where everything goes.

She never fought against Juzo, however, Kodaka stated that if they ever had to fight, he wouldn’t be surprised if Sakura would turn out victorious. She also easily beat the Ultimate Soldier, Mukuro Ikusaba and those are just some of her feats in the series (Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc).

Although I would love to see that girl in a cosplay, Tsumugi actually doesn’t enjoy cosplaying herself, she only likes to make the costumes, she once said that it was like bringing a fictional character to life.

However, in a death game, the Otaku couldn’t be peaky with her methods and had to use what her strong suits to the max.

Not only can she endorse a character to perfection in terms of appearance, but she can also perfectly mimic their voice and mannerism. She is a girl with multiple talents that could have been even better than the Ultimate Imposter if she wasn’t allergic to cosplaying into real people.

What differentiates her from all the other characters in the series is that she has a heightened perception of fiction and reality as she was seen breaking the fourth wall on multiple occasions (Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony).

Having been trained by the Kuzuryu clan as soon as she learned how to walk, saying she is a goddess with a sword is an understatement.

Acknowledged by her masters, she was appointed as the protector of her clans’ successors, a crucial role that proves how much her family trusted her and her skills.

Not only can she use a Katana, but she can also perfectly use a Shinai and is quite nimble. She learned to pinpoint the humans’ vitals and can accurately deal fatal or non-fatal blows. When going for the final strike, she only needs one slice to end it all. In the Academy, she is considered almost as  strong as Mukuro Ikusaba, the Ultimate Soldier, only if she didn’t lose against her (Danganronpa Despair Arc, Episode 8).

Using her abilities in the smartest of ways, she always finds a way to get out of a tight situation. When overpowered, she uses her surroundings to her advantage and focuses on surprise attacks to confuse her opponent.

Her intelligent, fighting sense are her hidden weapons, the components that make her one step ahead of all her other classmates and the reason she is so high up in the list as well.

She was living in Europe with her family, when, I don’t know what struck her, she decided that it would be cool to become a mercenary and traveled to the Middle East to join a group called Fenrir Mercenary Group.

A pampered girl suddenly thrown into the battlefield, you’d think she’d struggle at least a bit, however, during her entire time in warzones and fighting grounds she never suffered a single injury, even scratches were rarely seen on her body.

She can use every weapon you can think of, knives, grenades, explosives, firearms…, she is extraordinary at hand-to-hand combat. While fighting, she doesn’t hesitate, she’s merciless, since she knows that if she wavers, she’s dead.

When she joined Hope Peak Academy she made sashimi out of The Ultimate Swordswoman, Peko Pekoyama  (Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc Episode 8), and humiliated the Academy security team (Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc Episode 6). 

If she ever applied to the Red Cross, they’d take her in a sec. She knows all about first aid treatments and can keep someone alive even if they suffered grave injuries (Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF)

Her instincts are also quite amazing, she can sense danger coming from afar and have quick reaction time to deal with the unexpected.

Like any boy of his age, all Kazuichi wants is to be a cool badass who is afraid of nothing, however, he can’t change who he really is and what he is a coward.

He had a very difficult childhood, growing up in the midst of a poor family, he had to help run his father’s bike shop while building for himself the things he needed or wanted.

At school, it wasn’t much better. He looked and acted like a pushover and thus was severely bullied by the other kids.

He had one friend, a friend that he shared everything with, he trusted him more than anyone in the world and yet that one friend betrayed him.

That was the turning point of his life, he threw away who he was, changed his hair color, sharpened his teeth, got rid of his glasses and took on the appearance of a punk.

After that, he was soon accepted into Hope’s Peak Academy where he thought that everything would get better. He fell in love with the Ultimate Princess who didn’t love him back and got trapped into a death game to boot.

Worthy of the name Ultimate Mechanic, there is nothing he can’t fix, nothing he can’t tweak to make it a hundred times better than it originally was. That goes for weapons as well.

No matter how unreliable the guy might sound, he is a person you definitely want on your team. Consider him your joker (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair).

Ryota Mitarai wants to spread joy through his animation, well, he has a weird way to do so since he uses multiple dirty tricks like sensory simulators, sound waves plus some other secret techniques to manipulate the viewers focus, tweak with their memories, hypnotize and even brainwash them.

A terrifying technique that can bring hope into the right hands or despair if evil gets a hold of it. Thing is, Ryota is quite naïve and revealed all his secrets to the most despicable of persons, Junko Enoshima.

She used his techniques  in animating, made some slight changes to it, turned it into a despair video, leaked it into the entire school and threw the whole Academy into darkness.

 When the Final Killing Game was over, Ryota who still had the Hope Video on his phone leaked it on a global scale, got rid of despair, however, the price was humanity’s free will (Danganronpa 3: Hope Arc Episode 12).

We don’t know who he is, what he looks like, he doesn’t have any family or friends, anything that can link him to his past, his or her identity is a total mystery.

However, that person still wanted to be acknowledged and to do so he had to endorse the identity of another human being. He studies him in order to impersonate him to perfection, his voice, his habits, his ticks, he’ll make them his own.

Through thorough investigation, he can even mimic their skills and abilities which makes him kind of overpowered considering the amount of knowledge he stole.

It’s impossible to make the difference between real and fake, you wouldn’t even notice the difference in body build . Furthermore, the Ultimate Imposter is capable of changing appearance at lightning speed, a feat that can only be described as superhuman.

If he doesn’t reveal himself or the real character  appears while he is present, he can live on indefinitely with the skin he is currently borrowing.

Just imagine hanging out with people every day while knowing that one of them might not be who he says he is (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair)

Only geniuses, prodigies, humans with unbelievable talent get to enroll into Hope’s Peak Academy and yet Nagito in nothing like that, it’s just that he is overflowing with luck or at that point bad luck for becoming a student at that school after winning a lottery.

Nagito is average in every way, however, he has a minimum grasp on any kind of topic or field. Also, it turns out that he is quite intelligent since he is able to concoct complex and very elaborated plans, he can read between the lines and figure out things that aren’t obvious at first glance and he does all that without using his luck, however, everything to endeavors tends to blow up in his face for some reason.

Very attention to details, his eyes are like a radar which is something that his classmates find somehow annoying, nothing gets past him.

In addition, with a guy with such an innocent face, you’d be shocked to know that he is an amazing manipulator. Using his weakness to his advantage, he can take control of the conversation and get people to arrive at the conclusion that he desires.

He was the first one to doubt Junko, warned his classmates about her, he found her secret room and we believe that if he was awake at the time, while Junko was spreading her despair, he would’ve successfully avoided all her traps (Danganronpa 3: Despair Arc, Episode 8).

He can also tell what talent a person has by looking at them. He sensed from the beginning that Hajime’s place wasn’t with them, and he was right, the guy turned out talentless  (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair).

 

2. The Ultimate Hope — Hajime Hinata/Kamakura Izuru

At the beginning, Hajime was talentless, however, after undergoing a procedure where he would get all the talent of the world, he became Izuru Kamakura,the Ultimate Hope.

As the Ultimate Hope, he can use the abilities of the other Ultimate’s at the school such as the Ultimate Analyst or the Ultimate Soldier and what’s even more extraordinary is that he doesn’t feel the drawbacks of those talents.

Also, the guy turned into superman and acquired super strength and super speed, he can defeat an armed squadron by himself in less than a minute, he can bend metal, punch holes into walls, I don’t think he is human anymore!

When his classmates fell into a coma, he was the one to wake them up using the skills of the guy who made the Neo World Program.

One thing was very noticeable after his transformation, he became more cold blooded, stoic than he was. He went as far as mercilessly killing the people who dared to threaten his friends.

However, he still has that trustworthy side to him, a side that lets you open up your heart to him and share your problems and insecurities, just like would to a counselor (Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair).

When she was first introduced, Junko Enoshima was the Ultimate Fashionista, she was a super famous model that you could see on the cover of many magazines.

However, it was later revealed that that was not just her Ultimate ability and that she was in fact The Ultimate Analyst, as well.

In mere seconds, she can analyze, understand and memorize her entire environment. Not only can she predict the future, but she can also learn anyone’s skills super easily. She made a video Ryota style ( DanganRonpa: Despair Arc Episode 9) and built an AI using Chihiro’s talent.

She was able to manipulate events that led to  The Tragedy of Hope’s Peak Academy, The Parade and even The Tragedy that hit the world on a global scale.

Her plans are amazingly complex and work perfectly, she is a genius at manipulation and can read a person as if they are open books. She knows how they think and what they are about to do even before them.

Even if her opponents are physically overpowering her, using her astonishing intellect she can defeat them with ease as there is no possible way for them to even land a blow on her.

The greatest drawback of this ability is that she became so bored of this world and believes only despair can make it exciting. 

 

ConclusionJunko

Now I don’t want any of you getting angry if your favorite character isn’t on the list, okay? Thing is, this is a purely speculative list coming out of personal deduction, so if you don’t agree with why not give us through the comments below the list that you think will fit better?
