what was shu execution like?
This doesn’t really show it off very well, but Shuichi’s execution in the au is called “Escape room”
He’s trapped in a room with a clock counting down from 1 hour, and has to figure out the various puzzles to unlock the door and escape.
He was told before his execution that there is in fact a way to escape and if he fails both Kokichi and Kaito will die, and then so will maki for having technically killed them both.
(Ko and Kai survived by sharing the antidote, and staged the press with fake blood, unfortunately that means the poison was only slowed for both of them rather than one being cured)
While if it were just the puzzles Shuichi would have probably solved them with relative ease, unfortunately Monokuma is never fair and executions are meant to be painful
At the start the puzzles really are just normal puzzles but the more he solves the more dangerous they get. Starting with things like spikes shooting out of something he’s trying to grab on to, which is rather easy to avoid if you pay attention (which after the first time he does)
But they become more and more painful/unfair. It starts when shuichi goes to stick his hands into a hole he needs to put a combination into and fire shoots out of it. Shuichi by this point expecting the trap pulls his hands out before any harm comes to him…
It doesn’t stop, putting in this combination is absolutely necessary to get to the next step, so he has to stick his hands in flames long enough to set the numbers in to continue.
The traps continue on like this, forcing shuichi to walk while a metal pole coursing with electricity is sticking through his leg, all the way to the end of a small hallway.
Releasing a thin amount of poison gas that filters through the room for the entire rest of the punishment, which makes Shuichi woozy, weak and sick
He has to walk over nails to reach one area, and while on the way in he manages to distribute his weight as to not hurt himself, as soon as he gets what he needs a metal sheet starts closing over the exit to the area and he has to launch his body under the door to make it out in time, which means his entire front half gets raked over sharp nails. 
These are only some examples of the traps set in the room. But in the end Shuichi manages to unlock the door opening it to find…
A massive spike pit, and no exit in sight. So now Shuichi has two choices, jump out of the house and die to the spikes or stay in the house until it explodes killing him.
So how does he survive?
