So I spent the last four hours juggling wiki entries and anime and game clips to try to put together a better timeline of the events of the Danganronpa series.
This was in response to a lot of things but most of all to finding out that thereās a part in the Togami novels where Byakuya runs into Kazuichi acting in capacity as a despair in Prague. I didnāt think at first that this could logically make sense as occuring but it turns out there actually is a place on the timeline where it could conceivably have happened.
In these tables, āKGā stands for the year of the 78th class Killing Game āKilling School Life.ā aka DR1.
notes:
-10 KG: this is the earliest possible date for Monacaās birth, making her 11 and the other warriors of hope 12 during Towa City
-6 KG: Mukuro joins ājust before middle schoolā and remain with the group for three years.
-3 KG: This is the last possible year the WOH can meet Junko before sheās busy at Hopeās Peak, the year before HP that Mukruo must have spent with Junko starting the wheels in motion for the tragedy, although the anime implies that this did not happen.
-2 KG: Remnants āgraduateā at the end of the year, meaning class 77 needs to have spent 2 full years at Hopeās Peak canonically for the timeline to make sense. Probably they spent around half the year before graduation brainwashed and acting covertly as despairs.
-2 KG deep dive granular timeline:
Please note that because of the ambiguous nature of a lot of these events, and the lack of concrete dates and times in canon, a lot of this is speculative and me drawing conclusions from information presented. Its absolutely possible that I missed something or made an incorrect logical leap, but as best I can tell, the timeline at least looks *something* like this.
my ancestors seeing me shrug off a diarrhea session
People in the notes confused because they’re so accustomed to running water they don’t know how close diarrhea might have otherwise come to killing them if they’ve had it even once lol it’s killed more humans than just about anything in history
Weāre the granddaughters of the bowels you couldnāt irritate
Mine would be baffled that I’ve gone 5+ years with bloody diarrhea. Inflammatory Bowel Disease has probably always existed, but they didn’t have treatment.
I do want to specifically shout out Dr Thomas Latta, who is the person who gave us IV hydration, and pretty much magically cured cholera with it in his first attempt. From his diary:
I attempted to restore the blood to its natural state, by injecting copiously into the larger intestines warm water.. trusting that the power of absorption might not be altogether lost, but by these means I produced, in no case, any permanent benefit.. I at length resolved to throw the fluid immediately into the circulation. In this, having no precedent to direct me, I proceeded with much caution. The first subject of experiment was an aged female. She had apparently reached the last moments of her earthly existence, and now nothing could injure her ā indeed, so entirely was she reduced, that I feared I should be unable to get my apparatus ready ere she expired. Having inserted a tube into the basilic vein, cautiously ā anxiously, I watched the effects; ounce after ounce was injected, but no visible change was produced. Still persevering, I though she began to breathe less laboriously, soon the sharpened features, and sunken eye, and fallen jaw, pale and cold, bearing the manifest impress of death’s signet, began to glow with returning animation; the pulse, which had long ceased, returned to the wrist; at first small and quick, by degrees it became more and more distinct … and in the short space of half and hour, when six pints had been injected, she expressed in a firm voice that she was free from all uneasiness, actually became jocular, and fancied all she needed was a little sleep.
Diarrhea can very easily be death by dehydration, especially when you can’t consume oral fluids (Cholera causes extreme vomiting as well). Not only did we solve part of the problem with clean water, the other half was learning how to put clean water into our bodies (with salt).
Also fun fact, Thomas Latta was active in England at the same time as John Snow, the father of epidemiology, also in response to the Cholera epidemics at the time.
Throughout history, so many people have worked so hard to alleviate human suffering, misery, and death. You will never know the names of all the people who have spent their lifeās passion to take care of you, someone divided from them by decades, even centuries, someone whose existence theyād never know, whose name theyād never hear. But they did it, all the same.
I think this is an important thing to keep in mind.

So here’s those graphic and violent threats we received last night.
It appears that the reason for sending them may have been our “men are beloved” post but I feel comfortable tagging them with the “#anti receipts” tag as well.
These are from two separate abusive people– blocking the first didn’t make the others disappear, but blocking the second took the third with it.
Trigger warning for graphic descriptions of torture, rape and murder. I’m serious. These are not for the faint of heart. Consider this the “dead dove” warning that the senders did not afford us.
