Despair Arc has the same problem as all Persona 4 content post the original game. It boils down the characters to their most popular trait and just has them hammer that like robots. At least, it does in the very short amount of time it gives those characters, since they're basically window dressing. Danganronpa Zero is very hard to consider canon in this timeline, even though characters from it make cameos. Twilight Murder is totally given the shaft. The method of despair induction is a total letdown from what was expected.
