"Cheaters Never Prosper" | DRV3 PREGAME ONESHOT | Rantaro Amami & Kokichi Oma

"Rantaro steadied himself against his podium. He'd harmed in order to get here, to get into this position. He'd stabbed that person in the back on a metaphorical level. On a literal level, the knife had taken root in the victim's head. This felt different. He didn't have to look the victim in the eye, he'd gone for the back of the skull. He didn't hear any last words or pleas and angry curses. The last words he'd heard from the fellow victims of the awful game they were put through were words of hatred and unadulterated malice."

Rantaro Amami was the Ultimate Survivor. He'd walked out of Danganronpa V2 as a cultural icon, a celebrity.

How he got out of the game, however, is a very open secret.

Kokichi Oma isn't happy with him.
