Best Character Designs from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc

One thing that I really appreciate from Danganronpa is how the characters look, everyone looks extremely unique and interesting (for the most part). Spoiler will be below, since talking about this game at all will spoil certain things, so I'm not even going to try to make this list suitable for those who haven't finished the game.
The Top Ten
1 Celeste Celestia Ludenberg (セレスティア・ルーデンベルク Seresutia Rūdenberuku), also known as Celeste, is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Her title is the Ultimate Gambler.

For a character in the first game when the team were just starting off, Celeste had such a great design and is probably still one of my favourites throughout all the characters. You can see how much effort really went into the character creation, and I really hope the artist behind this got a raise.

A big part about various characters in the game that I like about them is the colour. In the case of Celeste, I love the lack of almost any colour, her costume is also pretty cool, but I just love how unique she looks thanks to how literally colourful everyone else looks.

She is a goth queen and look at this design! She has more accessories and it looks like her design took A LOT of time

I mean come on! Celeste's design is outstanding!

2 Kyoko Kirigiri Kyoko Kirigiri, a character from Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, is a student of Class 78 in Hope's Peak Academy, who also participates in Monokuma's Killing School Life. She is the Ultimate Detective.

Everything about how she looks somehow adds to that air of mystery that she always has. The abundance of purple is also extremely nice, especially since it is a much more refined, subtle look compared to almost every other character.

I love her a lot. I think the story behind her burnt hands is also an interesting detail.

Her looks are incredible and her beauty is without match. Kyoko has a pretty refreshing look

PUrple has been my favorite color since the day I was born.

3 Monokuma

There is a very good reason why Monokuma is such a memorable mascot for the entire series, as well as his extremely entertaining dialogue, he looks so good. He perfectly fits the theme of the game and looks awesome with how defined each of his sides are while still clearly looking like one entity

Monokuma is the reason I draw in a way I do, he gave me inspiration to make such half and half drawings!

4 Junko Enoshima Junko Enoshima (江ノ島 盾子 Enoshima Junko), is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. Her title is Ultimate Fashionista/True Ultimate Despair

While her basic design is fairly average (hair not included), her various facial expressions and mannerisms make her an awesome character to watch.

Best girl. I like her sexy design

5 Chihiro Fujisaki

He looks so innocent all the time, and I love it. While he looks fairly normal, it suits him well, as he isn't someone who tries standing out. I find him to just generally look pleasant

Very baby aesthetic

6 Miu Iruma
7 Kokichi Oma
8 Toko Fukawa

Once again, it's thanks to Genocide Jack that she ranks highly, her basic design is interesting enough, but she always slightly annoyed me. When Genocide Jack appeared, this stopped, because she all of a sudden became so much cooler looking, with her insane facial expressions and her tongue, which somehow grew longer. She is another character who I like watching thanks to her mannerisms rather than basic design.

9 Mukuro Ikusaba
10 Leon Kuwata Leon Kuwata is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. His title is Ultimate Baseball Star.

He might be my least favourite character, but I love how he looks. His flame red hair and his awesome costume heavily remind me of the excellent game, the World Ends With You. He also somewhat reminds me of Axel from Kingdom Hearts.

The Contenders
11 Byakuya Togami Byakuya Togami is a student in Hope's Peak Academy's Class 78th, and a participant of the Killing School Life featured in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. His title is Ultimate Affluent Progeny.

Once again, he doesn't look particularly amazing, but I definitely think that his design is good and fitting. His facial expressions match this, as he almost always looks like he's sick of everyone.

Love his design so much, his emo hair doesn't really fit his whole personality I feel, but I still like it.

I think his mannerisms and outfit make up for the disconnect between his hair and personality

12 Aoi Asahina

I don't find there to be anything interesting about her design at all (no, fanservice-esque proportions don't count as something interesting).

13 Nagito Komaeda Nagito Komaeda (狛枝 凪斗 Komaeda Nagito), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. His title is Ultimate Lucky Student.
14 Sakura Ogami

While I personally find her design to be a bit too stylised, I do still find it to be funny that so many people think she is a man (I personally did that as well until I saw her name). Her face always showing intense focus is the main reason I like her design.

I adore sakura's design. yes, it's very, VERY exaggerated, but I think that's what makes it so good.

15 Sayaka Maizono

While Hina was very generic looking, nothing can top Sakaya in the realm of uninteresting. She looks like the most standard anime girl possible, literally 0 defining features.

16 Korekiyo Shinguji

I love his design. Kyoko's design is basic sorry Kyoko. Dis boi is so cool. I just really wish I could rewrite him. . .

HE has a good character design.

korekiyo is one of my favorite characters from v3 and I love the way he dresses. He kinda looks like a serial killer. And he is probably the smartest character out of all the v3 characters except of Koichi

17 Makoto Naegi Makoto Naei is the protagonist of the 2010/2014 game Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc. He is the Ultimate Lucky Student, a student randomly picked by Hope's Peak Academy to join the school. As a student of Class 78, he is forced to participate in the Killing School Life, a killing game orchestrated by Monokuma.

I do like how he looks, but I honestly can't find much that defines him from any other character, kind of like how I find his character to be fairly standard. I do like his hair though.

He looks cool

18 Sonia Nevermind

I have to admit that she's pretty. Probably the prettiest character in the entire series

19 Kiyotaka Ishimaru

His face is one of pure determination, which is perfect for him, I particularly like his eyes. This face makes it all the better when he is happy about something because it feels that much more special when it is him who smiles.

20 Mondo Oowada

He looks pretty cool, except his hair, which looks so stupid that I can't take him seriously at all. For someone who is supposed to be intimidating to some extent, they chose the worst possible hairstyle.

I love his hair

21 Gundham Tanaka
22 Yasuhiro Hagakure

I don't like his character much, but his design is very fitting for him. Just by looking at him, you could tell that he is laid back and doesn't take anything seriously. I also find his hair to be great.

23 Rantaro Amami

Okay you can't tell me that this boi does not look at least good if you are your lieng- anyways I always liked his design and um yeah I like him for other reasons besides design but the design is so good. I wish he lived longer and yeah I hop drv3 gets a animie were they don't die so I can see this boi for longer than 2 seconds

24 Chiaki Nanami Chiaki Nanami (七海 千秋 Nanami Chiaki), is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the Killing School Trip featured in Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair. Her title is Ultimate Gamer.
25 Hifumi Yamada

And now for the only character in this game who I say looks bad, not just boring, straight up bad. His face makes him look like some sort of weird rodent and he just looks terrible in general.
