Zetsubou-hen will come later.

Bear with me re: the shitty pictures. I don’t want to start up my loud-ass printer to scan things at 3:30 in the morning. I apologize now for any mistakes.



Name: Tengan Kazuo

VA: Shibata Hidekatsu

Position: Head of the Future Foundation; Head of the First Branch; Former Headmaster of Kibougamine Gakuen

Notes: As the former headmaster of Kibougamine, he’s a key person working as the leader of the Future Foundation and the head of the first branch. He scouted Naegi and the others, and discovered the Remnants of Despair. He laments the excessive despair and aims for a peaceful world without strife.

Jess’s Comments: Hopefully you are better at this than Kirigiri Jin.

Name: Munakata Kyousuke

VA: Morikawa Toshiyuki

Position: Vice Head of the Future Foundation; Head of the Second Branch; Member of Kibougamine 74th Class; Former SHSL Class President

Notes: The former SHSL Class President, who once overflowed with charisma. Acting as both the vice head of the Future Foundation and head of the second branch, he holds the real power. (Oh, so like a Japanese school.) He has a cold personality and carries the most anger toward SHSL Despair, hating it immensely.

Jess’s Comments: Haha, get Jank’d, asshole.

Name: Kizakura Kouichi

VA: Fujiwara Keiji

Position: Head of the Third Branch; former scout for Kibougamine Gakuen

Notes: Acted as a scout during his time at Kibougame, and now works as the head of the Future Foundation’s third branch. Along with Tengan, he scouted Naegi and the others to join the Future Foundation. He appears whimsical and careless, he has a sharp intuition, and is reliable when the chips are down.

Jess’s Comments: You, I like you. Wonder if he knows some of the other former SHSLs from the side novels.

Name: Kimura Seiko

VA: Fujita Saki

Position: Head of the Fourth Branch; Kibougamine 76th Class; Former SHSL Pharmacist

Notes: Head of the fourth branch and former SHSL Pharmacist. Reserved personality and speaks in a stilted fashion. Always wears a mask, and since no one can read her expression, no one knows what she’s thinking.

Jess’s Comments: Well there’s no way drugs could go wrong, right?

Name: Yukizome Chisa

VA: Nakahara Mai

Position: Head of the Fifth Branch; Kibougamine 74th Class; Former SHSL Housekeeper

Notes: Former SHSL Housekeeper and current leader of the Fifth Branch. Because she works hard and is brave, she has a likeable personality. Though she has an air-headed side to her, she often relaxes the uptight atmosphere of the Foundation. If it’s for the sake of her classmate Munakata, she doesn’t think of her life as regrettable. (This line could be interpreted other ways but I’m tired.)

Jess’s Comments: I cannot undo the fact that you are one of my favorites so far and therefore the most suspicious.

Name: Sakakura Juuzou

VA: Suwabe Junichi

Position: Head of the Sixth Branch; Kibougamine 74th Class; Former SHSL Boxer

Notes: Working as the head of the sixth branch and former SHSL Boxer. Munakata’s right hand man, he’ll dirty his hands without regret if it helps him create the ideal Foundation he aims for. His personality is rough and he has a lot of pride.

Jess’s Comments: Well no surprises here. Presumably in the If universe you have to compete with Mukuro to see which one of you kills the SDR2 cast first.

Name: Gekkougahara Miaya

VA: Not listed (nothing suspicious here…the last characters with unlisted voice actors were Shiro and Kurokuma but hey)

Position: Head of the Seventh Branch; Former SHSL Therapist

Notes: Former SHSL Therapist, now head of the seventh branch. One of the people responsible for the creation of the Hope Rehabilitation Program to rehabilitate the Remnants of Despair. Thanks to her extreme shyness, she doesn’t talk. No one knows what class she was in in Kibougamine.

Jess’s Comments: Nothing to see here, folks. Just someone who, if I remember Zero correctly, was kicking around with Matsuda. (And we all know whose pocket he was in.)

Name: Andou Ruruka

VA: Minase Inori

Position: Head of the Eight Branch; Kibougamine 76th Class; Former SHSL Candy Maker

Notes: Has the title of former SHSL Candy Maker and is the current leader of the eighth branch. Able to turn her head very quickly, she is skilled in negotiations thanks to luring people with candy. Her candy is said to be addictive on the same level as narcotics. Hates being backstabbed.

Jess’s Comments: I’ve already started shipping you with Kimura. Also, I bet Asahina loves you. She loves you, doesn’t she?



Name: Izayoi Sounosuke

VA: Eguchi Takuya

Position: Head of the Ninth Branch; Kibougamine 76th Class; Former SHSL Blacksmith

Notes: Leader of the ninth branch. As the former SHSL Blacksmith, he is skilled in weapons development, and he stocks all kinds of hidden weapons inside his coat. He’s the silent type, and aside from Andou Ruruka, he won’t interact with anyone.

Jess’s Comments: Man, you appointed some good leaders here, Tengan.



Name: Mitarai Ryouta

VA: Hongou Kanata

Position: Head of the Tenth Branch; Kibougamine 77th Class; Former SHSL Animator

Notes: Leader of the tenth branch. Known as the SHSL Animator when in school, he was later scouted by Tengan. He has a timid personality, but a strong sense of justice, and he wants to fill the world with hope. (Yeah, well so does Komaeda.) As a result, he worries about many things.

Jess’s Comments: Jesus, how many kids were scouted for the 77th Class? I get that Sagishi is posing as you but like…? (Also, this is more a comment for when I do Zetsubou-hen, but where’s Shinobu?)



Name: Bandai Daisaku

VA: Kugimiya Rie

Position: Head of the Eleventh Branch; Kibougamine 66th Class; Former SHSL Farmer

Notes: Former SHSL Farmer and current leader of the eleventh branch. Despite his comical appearance, he’s a man with a cute voice and a gentle heart. He’s fond of using his own self-made sayings, such as “up to three strawberry seeds,” but no one has any idea what they mean.

Jess’s Comments: You are okay in my book, bruh. You will be fun.

Name: The Great Gozu

VA: Miyake Kenta

Position: Head of the Twelfth Branch; Kibougamine 69th Class (lol); Former SHSL Wrestler

Notes: Former SHSL Wrestler. Used to work as a pro. After joining the Future Foundation, began working as the head of the twelfth branch. In contrast to the frightening cow mask, has a gentle nature and a calm way of speaking. Normally very polite, but terrifying when angry. (So…Sakura.)

Jess’s Comments: I am so excited for you, you do not even know.



Name: Asahina Aoi

VA: Saitou Chiwa

Position: Member of the Thirteenth Branch; Kibougamine 78th Class; Former SHSL Swimmer

Notes: Former SHSL Swimmer, now a member of the thirteenth branch. A little prone to getting emotional, but believes in her friends and wants to protect people more than the average person. Originally wasn’t going to be invited to Naegi’s punishment hearing, but she came as a proxy. (Thanks, Togami, presumably.)

Jess’s Comments: Welcome back to relevance, kiddo! So we were all under the assumption that the six survivors were part of the fourteenth branch, but we were wrong. I assume Togami is the head of the thirteenth branch and he just fucked off to Touwa City or something following the end of SDR2, leaving Asahina to go in his place.



Name: Kirigiri Kyouko

VA: Hikasa Youko

Position: Head of the Fourteenth Branch (thank god, sanity prevails); Kibougamine 78th Class; Former SHSL Detective

Notes: The leader of the fourteenth branch with the mysterious ambiance. As the former SHSL Detective, she will be doing all the heavy lifting in this anime she always coolly assesses the situation and finds the best policy for dealing with it. She used to not be concerned with others, but she has faith in her fellow survivors. ( Even Hagakure. )

Jess’s Comments: *weeps tears of joy* Kirgir, I missed you so much!



Name: Naegi Makoto

VA: Ogata Megumi

Position: Member of the Fourteenth Branch; Kibougamine 78th Class; SHSL Hope

Notes: Former SHSL Luck, currently associated with the fourteenth branch. He is called SHSL Hope for destroying SHSL Despair, but he is being held and blamed for aiding the Remnants of Despair.

Jess’s Comments: I get really goddamn tired of Naegi getting credit for shit like beating Junko (which he didn’t, that was all pre-scripted) or coming out on top of the koroshiai game (Kirigiri did like 90% of the work), so this is really the thing about this anime that’s going to stick in my craw.

Name: Hagakure Yasuhiro

VA: Matsukaze Masaya

Position: Member of the Fourteenth Branch; Kibougamine 78th Class; Former SHSL Fortune Teller

Notes: Former SHSL Fortune Teller associated with the fourteenth branch, with a prediction success rate of 30%. Because he has a very off-beat and unique personality, how did he survive with Naegi and the others? He’s tried to change his image by tying up his hair and wearing glasses, but he’s still the same old coward.

Jess’s Comments: Nothing to say, really. It’s Hagakure. Hope your mom shows up in this anime?

Name: Monokuma

VA: Tarako

Position: N/A (not “Former Headmaster of Kibougamine Gakuen”?)

Notes: A bear-shaped stuffed toy wrapped in mystery. His white half has a normal cute appearance, but his black half has a wicked expression. He’s responsible for the Future Foundation Killing Game, but his real intentions, goals, and who is controlling him are unknown.

Jess’s Comments: Monaka, right? I mean at this point I can’t hope for Junko anymore. I mean I could, but that seems paradoxical. (Though if I have to keep sitting through endless Naegi ass-kissing, everyone else can put up with more Junko. It’s only fair, people.)

Name: Monomi

VA: Sasuga Takako

Position: N/A

Notes: A rabbit-shaped stuffed toy wrapped in mystery. She seems to view Monokuma, who has instigated the Future Foundation Killing Game, as an enemy, and she opposes him, but she ends all of her sentences with baby talk like “dechu” and “machu” so the jury is still out.

Jess’s Comments: Dig the new pin, Monomi.



Okay, done. Whew. Between all the formatting and taking photos and trying to kick my brain into working in the middle of the night, I’m exhausted. Goodnight, everyone. I’ll do the Zetsubou-hen peeps later this weekend.
