What ship gives you more despair?

Komahina (Hajime x Komaeda)

Naegami (Togami x Makoto)

Propaganda

Komahina

Komahina submitters win the award of having the most disgusting character hate submitted to me! Beyond that, Komahina shippers show a dislike for how popular the ship is, thinking Hinanami specifically has more canon potential, believing shippers to ignore Hajime's problems while fetishizing Komaeda's, believe it to be boring, a hatred for Komaeda, and making both characters ooc.

Naegami

Naegami submitters how a dislike for Togami and find Naegi and Togami to be a much more bland pairing in comparison to other protag antag ships. Believing it to be mediocre bait and rather boring.

Enonami

Honestly they both have aesthetics that kind of match the others well so on a pure aesthetic level they definitely look great together. Beyond that though with how few hateships girls tend to get, I can absolutely see why people would gravitate to this one, especially as Junko very much specifically targeted Chiaki in a way she didn't do to Naegi. That along with Chiaki's steadfast if timid nature being a genuine roadblock to Junko, I can absolutely see some interesting dynamics here.

Komaegi

What isn't there to say about Komaegi? We all saw the way they interacted in that one scene of Danganronpa 3 "his hands were so soft" "why were his hands sticky" absolute comedy gold to have the hope obsessed with the embodiment of hope. Also they're luckster buddies, love to see some fucked up luck shenanigans. They work as great foils and everyone knows great foils are gay as hell. I think Makoto could fix Komaeda but Komaeda could also make Makoto worse and they should kiss over it.

Saiouma (Kokichi x Shuichi)

Komanami (Komaeda x Chiaki)

Propaganda

Saiouma

Where to even start? Saiouma submitters point out the GIANT fandom presence within the community, overshadowing basically any other ship resulting in a lot of discourse and drama. They often either hate Kokichi or hate Shuichi and find there to be dozens of better options for ships. There is also a lot of like 5 paragraph reasonings why this ship sucks that is the epitome of "yeah im not reading all happy for you or sorry that sucks" but it can be basically summed up as a hatred for the fandom around the ship, hating one or both characters, and finding the whole thing very ooc constantly.

Komanami

Komanami wins the "stupidest nomination" award by the only reasoning for it being submitted is a dislike for m/f ships. Beyond that though people often point out how Komaeda is coded gay, along with how much people prefer to have Hajime also involved instead of just Komaeda and Chiaki. I almost put in Komahina here instead but I figured that should be a much later on duel in the tournament.

Saimatsu (Shuichi x Kaede)

Naekusaba (Mukuro x Naegi)

Voting ended onSep 16, 2023

Propaganda

Saimatsu

Submitters of Saimatsu show a dislike for Kaede's actions in the first trial, along with a dislike for Shuichi. People also often point out to Kaede being presented as much more flirty to the girls then Shuichi and read her as a lesbian, they may also be uncomfortable with how much Shuichi puts her on a pedestal despite only knowing her for a few days.

Naekusaba

Submitters of Naekusaba point out that Makoto does not have to return Mukuro's feelings for him, along with the fact that Mukuro and Junko are incredibly codependent which puts Makoto in danger.
