Danganronpa Theory - What Did the Ending of Killing Harmony Mean?

'''This has been a question many fans have still been asking. Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony was quite an end to the franchise, but it left many of us confused and asking for a fourth game to tie everything up.'''

'''Many fans of Danganronpa do not consider Danganronpa V3: End of Hope’s Peak High School (the anime ending) to be canon, but that was Spike Chunsoft’s intent. It was meant to tie up everything in a neat little bow. But since people are still looking for answers, I may have one.'''

'''Killing Harmony does not take place in the same DR Universe as the rest of the series. Rather, Killing Harmony is a representative of our world (but instead of the DR Franchise being mainly video-games, it is broadcast on live TV). The world is still notably intact, unlike the world overridden by Monokuma bots that we know. The article “Danganronpa V3’s Ending Makes a Polarizing Case for Letting the Series Go” says this perfectly. Danganronpa, in Killing Harmony’s universe, has gone on for 53 iterations. New characters kept on being added - not for the plot, but for the merchandise and the love and to get people even more attached to the series. Though yes, the anime is not as great as the games, it is still canonical, so I believe we should take DR V3: End of Hope’s Peak High School as our end to the series and Killing Harmony as an alternate timeline for our universe.'''

'''I may just be repeating what some have already said, but I feel like every Danganronpa fan needs to take this into thought. If this theory proves to be true, there will be no DR V4.'''
