Thirty-five Ultimate students are selected to participate in the Ultimate Academy for Gifted Juveniles experiment.
Seventeen students arrive at the Ultimate Academy and awaken in the academy's school building, beginning their participation in the killing game.
Kaede Akamatsu plans to kill Rantaro Amami to prevent further murders but accidentally kills Rantaro instead. The first class trial takes place addressing Rantaro's death.
The students learn they are trapped inside the academy and must participate in a killing game to escape, led by the AI Monokuma.
Over the course of several days, multiple students are murdered, and class trials determine the culprit each time, leading to executions.
