I’m not sure what writer at Spike Chunsoft is responsible for the running themes across Danganronpa and Zanki Zero, but it feels like they read Atlas Shrugged, agreed with Ayn Rand’s ideas about the way the world does work, but disagreed that it should work this way and found it existentially horrifying. Nagito Komaeda feels like a grotesque parody of people who accept Rand’s worldview and think it’s a good thing. He believes that the other students are like John Galt, but that he himself isn’t, and that this makes him “trash” fit only to be used and degraded by the worthy.
