Since the series is based on a game, if you’re looking for answers to the events mentioned in the show, you’ll have to go find a copy of Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, watch a playthrough online, or read summaries. It’s also worth mentioning to newcomers of the series that while there is a season 1 and 3 of Danganronpa, there is no season 2. For that reason, I’ve featured both halves of the season into a single review. This means that both DVDs are a packaged deal and committing to one arc is essentially impossible, as the finale of Future is featured in the Despair collection, which is a prequel to the events in the first Danganronpa. The two arcs are set in different time periods, and at the time Danganronpa 3 was being aired episodes from each arc were released alternating weeks.
Danganronpa 3 The End of Hope’s Peak High School is comprised of two DVDs, the Future Arc & Despair Arc, that together make up the entirety of DanganRonpa 3.
