If you had to choose 8 characters from Danganronpa to represent one of the 7 Deadly Sins along with the original sin to participate in a Zanki Zero-like scenario, who would you choose and what would each of their dungeons that tie into their sin be?

That was really difficult and I can’t say I’m satisfied with my answers. If someone has better alternatives, I’ll be happy to hear them.

Sloth: If I answered this before playing, the obvious answer would be Yumeno, but that’s not how Zanki Zero rolls. Instead of an actual lazy character, we need a character whose biggest life regret is related is tied to sloth. My first idea for that is going for the route the actual game did: interpreting sloth as negligence and going with Mioda’s regret for her band’s break up, since she didn’t try to make any huge changes in her style to keep the group together. Unfortunately that doesn’t work because:A) That’s not a big enough deal to be called a sin.B) Mioda is too emotionally mature about her regret to be a Zanki Zero character. You could argue so is Setouchi, but the consequences of her pride big enough to warrant her dungeon.

Next canditate is Ki-bo harming Iidabashi out of pure carelessness, but robots are not clonable, so he’s also out. It’s not impossible, but rebuilding a robot is really lame compared to actual organic cloning.

My final answer be Saihara not doing proper research on his culprit before exposing his crime. I didn’t want to go with this one since Higurashi is already somewhat similar to Saihara, but I’m kinda out of options here. The dungeon would be the victim’s house (assuming that was the crime scene) and the boss would be the culprit (with the culprit being one of the Creatures found in earlier floors).

Wrath: Hoshi would be a perfect candidate for this one but I’ll leave him out of this one because I think he fits better somewhere else.

The next best option is adapting Kuzuryuu’s backstory with chapter 2 content, so his sin would be about how his angry personality mislead Peko into believing he wanted Koizumi killed for hiding evidence for Natsumi’s murder, causing Peko to face the legal consequences of her murder. The dungeon would be wherever Koizumi died in this version (it would still look identical to chapter 2′s island). I don’t know who would the boss be for this because Natsumi, Peko, Koizumi and Satou all sound like very viable candidates. Maybe this Wrath dungeon could be an extra hard 6th or 7th dungeon with multiple bosses, with Peko being the last one of them.

Pride: Togami and Kirigiri are both very viable options, the former for his overall very Renji-like personality and the latter for how her Kirigiri detective pride was a big factor on her hatred for her father, but, as I mentioned in Wrath, Hoshi’s got the most Zanki Zero-appropriate backstory out of all the DanganRonpa cast. I put him under pride over wrath because his whole tragedy started when he let his athlete sense of honor get over his head and broke the mafia’s fixed gambling schemes. The dungeon is obviously the mafia ship where the tournament was held, which is good because I love ship dungeons. We can call it the Belle Moa for reference’s sake. The boss would be the boss.

Gluttony: This one is difficult. None of the characters have a big food-related past, aside from maybe Owari and the Impostor. Owari did unpleasant things to feed her siblings, but she doesn’t fit in with the direction of Zanki Zero because her coping mechanism is not caring about anything, and the Impostor doesn’t have any backstory. The only option I can see left is interpreting the sin of gluttony as being so absorbed in indulging in your treats that you leave others to starve, which correlates to how Amami got so engrossed by his adventures that he fail to notice a sister following him into dangerous territory at least 12 times. The Gluttony dungeon would a forest dungeon like Saruyama or maybe a mountain dungeon and the boss would be the first sister he lost.

Envy: Oowada’s backstory is almost as fit for this as Hoshi’s is for pride. The streets where they raced is the dungeon and Daiya is the boss. I personally Oowada’s case is more interesting since it was the gang’s pressure that caused his envy, but Ruruka is just as viable of a candidate. I can’t pin down an exact place to be her dungeon, but the boss would very obviously be Kimura.

If you think that this approach to envy is too straightforward (which I don’t, since Zen’s wrath was also pretty straightforward), we can flip it around and have Yumeno getting a dungeon for being the envied party rather than the envious, since her master seems to have about abandoned her out of envy for her greater talent. As much as I love Yumeno, I wouldn’t want this one, since it makes the protagonist of the dungeon too innocent, like it was with Higurashi. But on the plus side, if you make the stage of the Magician of the Year award a castle-theme magic museum, you would have a pretty awesome dungeon.

Lust: This sin is extremely easy to make a case for both Fukawa and Shinguuji. Since regretting your sins, even if they aren’t necessarily your fault, is a big theme in Zanki Zero, Fukawa is the better choice for this one. Shinguuji would have a cooler dungeon with the remote village that caused his near-death experience, but Fukawa is still overall preferable. Her dungeon could be a Shikoku subway station, similar to subways in Setouchi’s dungeon, and the boss would be Geno’s first victim. This would have to be a really early dungeon because Fukawa wouldn’t be able to hide Geno for very long.

Greed: The very first thing I thought when I got this ask was Hagakure’s backstory. He got himself hunted by the Kuzuryuu because he wanted some easy extra cash. Pure and simple greed. Natsumi being the boss could also lead to some interesting interaction with Kuzuryuu (although I still think placing her as one of the many bosses in the Wrath dungeon is more meaningful). But ultimately, I decided against Hagakure because I have another idea I like better.

Before I go into that, I think Celes deserves to be mentioned, since she already (supposedly) ruined many people’s lives for money (and we saw at least two of them), but I think she’s too lacking on the regret factor to fit in on a Zanki Zero scenario.

Now then, to my favorite greed idea, I’ll stray away from the overdone money-related sin interpretation and interpret greed as just strongly wanting something, anything. Maizono already stated that she has done unpleasant stuff for the sake of her dream and we’ve seen first hand how ruthless she can get to protect it, and that’s there some unexplored aspects of her character to take from that, so I consider her the best choice for greed. Ayaka could be the boss, but if we leave her as one of the final stages, we can have a very interesting battle against all 4 band girls simultaneously as the boss. The dungeon could be either a concert hall or Nekuro Middle School.

Original Sin: This answer could easily change since I don’t know what Sachika’s original sin entails, but Eva’s was eating the forbidden fruit of knowledge. In other words, she used unacceptable methods to improve beyond what humans could. That’s an excellent metaphor for the Izuru Kamukura Project, in my opinion. Hinata is a character I think suits the final Stage, and Kibougamine is an equally adequate final dungeon (with some floors covering the school proper and some covering the secret labs). The final boss can be Izuru Kamukura (the school founder), and when he is the defeated, you get to fight the real final boss, Izuru Kamukura (the other Hinata clone with a different x-Key).

That leaves the line-up as Saihara, Kuzuryuu, Hoshi, Amami, Oowada, Fukawa, Maizono and Hinata. That’s 6 boys and 2 girls, so, to match with Zanki Zero’s 4:4 gender balance, I will switch Kuzuryuu and Peko’s places (since the backstory of the sin also applies to her to some extent) and choose Ruruka over Oowada.

Final line-up: Saihara, Peko, Hoshi, Amami, Ruruka, Fukawa, Maizono and Hinata.

The dungeon order can be the same as the original game, just switching Wrath and Lust’s positions.

All that is gold does not glitter, not all who wander are lost, the old that are strong do not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

"This is the awe-inspiring universe of magic: There are no atoms, only waves and motions all around. Here, you discard all belief in barriers to understanding. You put aside understanding itself. This universe cannot be seen, cannot be heard, cannot be detected in any way by fixed perceptions. It is the ultimate void where no preordained screens occur upon which forms may be projected. You have only one awareness here - the screen of the magi: Imagination! Here, you learn what it is to be human. You are a creator of order, of beautiful shapes and systems, an organizer of chaos." The Atreides Manifesto, Dune

"We'll drink the wine till the cup is dry, and kiss the girls so they'll not cry, and toss the dice until we fly to dance with Jak o' the Shadows. We'll dance all night while the moon runs free, and dandle the lasses upon our knee, and then you'll ride along with me, to dance with Jak o' the Shadows. We'll sing all night, and drink all day, and on the girls we'll spend our pay, and when it's gone, then we'll away, to dance with Jak o' the Shadows. There're some delight in ale and wine, and some in girls with ankles fine but my delight, yes, always mine, is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows. We'll toss the dice however they fall, and snuggle the girls be they short or tall, then follow young Mat whenever he calls, to dance with Jak o' the Shadows." Robert Jordan, Lord of Chaos
