Danganronpa is a visual novel series created by Spike Chunsoft, first released in Japan in 2010. In each chapter students at Hope's Peak Academy investigate a murder, then debate the culprit in a class trial. When the vote is correct, headmaster Monokuma announces the execution with this line before a themed punishment sequence. The scene became one of the franchise's most quoted moments, and the clip spread through anime edits, streams, and gaming videos as a shorthand for a dramatic guilty verdict.
