Trying to fit in about 25 hours of material into 13 episodes is NOT a good idea, unless you want an extremely rushed show with very flat characters. This is the perfect example of a video game adaptation done wrong. However, if the killer is caught, he or she will be executed, and the remaining survivors will be left to continue the deathmatch until only a single victor remains.

They are soon confronted by Monokuma, the principal and resident bear, who traps them inside the school.
Naegi and his fellow classmates are initially ecstatic to be chosen to study at this prestigious institution, but these feelings of happiness are short-lived. Of the fifteen candidates admitted to the peculiar school that year, Makoto Naegi is a completely ordinary individual who has been accepted by sheer chance, with the title of 'Super High School-Level Luck.' Individuals who successfully enroll receive their own unique titles, suitably reflective of their skills and traits. Hope's Peak Academy is an elite high school that accepts only the most talented students.
