STORY SUMMARY
Saihara Shuichi becomes part of the police force, using his Ultimate Talent as a detective for good. K1-B0 or Kiibo becomes his partner, his body being modified to suit police work.
Kiibo commits a fatal error in an investigation, is reset, and sold off. Iruma Miu purchases and repurposes Kiibo.
With the help of Ouma Kokichi, Kiibo is turned into the Ultimate Killing Machine. He is set to guard Hope’s Peak Psychiatric Institute and follow orders from only Ouma.
Ouma is the self-proclaimed Head Nurse of the Institute, he can’t technically be the Head Nurse since he’s the only nurse in the whole asylum. He likes the title though. He’s turned the Institute into his and Miu’s experimental laboratory, taking in patients who are “beyond saving” and curing their morbid curiosity.
An unfortunate soul ends up at the Asylum, and aside from Kiibo, is the most dangerous experiment in the whole facility.
Rumors of the defunct asylum being in business again spread, Saihara is sent to investigate. Read the full summary

FAQ ANSWERS
1. One of the driving forces for this goal was Ouma being incapable of accepting Danganronpa wasn’t real, and also becoming obsessed with Despair, like Junko or the Warriors of Hope. He pursuited this endeavor with his fellow actor, Iruma Miu, and they both set a plan in motion. In the three years of their absence, Ouma ws driven to the point of insanity, and this goal became irrelevant.
     Yes, it is the main driving force that kicks off the story, but in the current timeframe, it no longer matters. He’s more concerned with causing pain and satiating his cannibalistic desire. I guess his form of the “Killing Game” is taking innocents as hostages, letting them wait until their inevitable death; it’s a game only he can win.
2. Anatomical Kleptomania is a variant of Kleptomania that I made for the purposes of this story. Kleptomania is a real condition, one that warrants the uncontrollable urge to take and shoplift items with little to no value to the taker. Ouma has gone so far as to develop an anatomical variant, one that makes him take body parts that he really doesn’t need, nor can eat. He declares them his trophies.
     This urge is also the reason why he ripped out Kiibo’s eye during his maintenance.
3. Miu was also a disappointed fan along with Ouma, she also craved a “real” Killing Game and bloodshed. Ouma also did see some value in her, first for creating torture devices, and now for modifying and fixing Kiibo. She resides in the Asylum Basement.
4. No. It is merely a placeholder name, one Ouma gave to the Asylum. He really wanted that killing game.
5. Would anyone else expect two teens to hide out in an abandoned asylum near an island? I don’t think so?
And as for their friends or family not knowing where they went, I’d like to think they most likely didn’t care. After all, they managed to score a spot in a game where literal death was involved. Unbeknownst to the public, it was all staged. So for all everyone knew, real deaths occurred.
     And also, I chose for it to be 3 years in specific, since Saihara and Kiibo originally joined the police force; But according to the timeline of events, Tweets, and release dates, the DRV3 cast is around 16-17 years old. I think that’s too young to be a police officer. Saihara is just naturally talented at solving cases, Kiibo was seen as useful technology.
6. He was modified, Miu reprogrammed him and erased his previous memory. This was mainly to erase any remaining sentience he had, and start anew. Kiibo does not remember his life as a police-droid, Shuichi, or even the Killing Game. It’s like he was just created; from then on, all he’s known is the Asylum Ouma and Miu, and following orders.
     I say it’s to “erase any remaining sentience” because he was previously rebooted by the police force after that fatal error in a case. They were taking precautions and making sure he didn’t remember anything.
7. Mainly because it felt strange to keep her alive in this story. She was the main villain of DRV3, and she seemed the most susceptible to succumbing to despair; I didn’t want her to be the “big bad” again. It also really disappointed me that every villain we’ve had is related to Junko in some way.
     At some point, I considered having the KG be real in the story, but taken in a totally different direction. The remnants of that storyline led to Tsumugi dying in a stage accident.
     How’d she die? Falling light. It mirrors her in-game death of being crushed by a boulder.
8. Alive. They’re living their own lives, if you really look at it, Shuichi is the main character. The rest of the Main Four are criminals and insane. He’s the only logical one and seems right to root for.
     People can’t help loving the Ouma-Kiibo dynamic though.
9. It honestly started as a joke, then the more I implemented it into the story, the more it made sense.
His whole motivation for wanting a real Killing Game was Despair. In those 3 years he was missing, he tried all sorts of things to cause despair to anyone and everyone he encountered, including himself.
     One day he thought, “What would cause me greater despair than eating another human?” He ended up enjoying the taste. He’s completely shifted to a cannibalistic diet, and he also relishes tearing people apart while they’re alive. Such despair.
10. If you think about it, Kiibo is trapped. Basically forced to adapt to a new life as a guard. The butterfly in some of the works featuring him is a symbol of freedom, and shows his struggle with becoming sentient once more and having a choice.
     He likes working with Ouma, he really does, but he yearns for something more liberating. Spending your days in a torn down asylum, constantly witnessing and partaking in death, might take a toll on the mind; even for a robot.
     “Why doesn’t he just leave?” He doesn’t want to. He’s been reprogrammed into thinking serving Ouma is his life purpose. I confirmed in a pseudo-interview about Kiibo’s mentality that he’s extremely loyal, to the point he would rather kill himself than hurt or replace Ouma. If he couldn’t protect him, he’d feel like he betrayed his own life’s purpose, and has become useless.
11. DICE does not exist, it was an organization completely fabricated by Team Danganronpa. Ouma latched onto it though, and had a logo thought out for it. This logo has been burned onto Kiibo’s left chest plate.
12. No, he was unconscious and in stasis when it happened. He seems to think he was made that way, and never questioned the eye sitting on Ouma’s desk; it seemed to look like any other souvenir he’d hold.
     And since Kiibo was unconscious, he did not feel the removal of the eye, nor anything else that was modified on his body.
