Makoto Naegi is the main protagonist of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, a visual novel released in Japan in 2010 and later adapted into an anime in 2013. Known as the Ultimate Lucky Student, the character is usually sincere and determined, which helped short roast clips using his voice stand out in fandom edits. As Danganronpa memes spread on social media and soundboards, fans began isolating brief lines for reactions, comebacks and jokes between friends, keeping the clip in use long after the games and anime.
