In this episode the tone of the despair arc becomes darker. Everything is pushed aside for the Junko and Mukuro plot to bring despair to hopes peak academy. This can either be big downside or a huge upside. I find it to be a huge upside because we get to see the start of the Tragedy of Hope Peak Academy. The Tragedy is the best part of this episode. We see Junko convince the Hopes Peak Academy student council to kill each other with ease. Next, we get a great montage of all the student killing each other. This is a great episode because we get to see an event happen that was told throught exposition in the games. Overall a great episode for any fan of the game series.

Breathtaking

Danganronpa is a great franchise, and usually the anime that comes out of it is enjoyable, but nothing incredible. Until this episode. Half of the episode is hilarious and bizzare, the other half is traumatising.
In the first game we had always heard about the Tragedy, but never anything direct, until now. A lot of people may think it ruined the subtlety, but it was still amazing. This episode was breathtaking, and the Tragedy was indeed tragic. Please, watch it.
