The event will kick off on July 5, 2026, with the original adaptation, Danganronpa The Animation (comprising 13 episodes). This will be followed by Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy, split into two parts – the Future Arc (12 episodes) airing on July 12, and the Despair Arc (12 episodes) airing on July 19.
