If you are gonna skip Ultra Despair Girls, but youre a bit interested in what exactly happens in it, I recommend the RECAPitation video on YouTube. You can watch it at 1.5x speed and get a full recap in like 20 minutes. Here is the link, if you are interested (spoilers for the entire show and game within them, obviously):

Ultra Despair Girls

As for the anime, as it was mentioned a while back, Danganronpa 3 (not V3, which is the game you are about to play) Is split into 2 arcs the Future Arc (an entirely new story) and the Despair Arc (the story of the cast of Danganronpa 2 and what exactly happened to them while at Hopes Peak).

If you are going to skip it but are interested in a few details about the Despair Arc, go ahead and click on this spoiler. In the Despair Arc, it shows the story of Gundham, Mikan, Nagito and co. during their time in school and how they become the Remnants of Despair. Chiaki was actually a real student in that class, and she was appointed as sort of the representative leader of their class. Everyone loved her. Junko ends up using the Ultimate Animator at the school to create subliminal messages to brainwash people who tune in to watch the live broadcast of Chiakis execution, as they are all watching in horror to see if their beloved leader will survive the execution. And her execution is more of a labyrinth with multiple death traps. To be honest, its more of a torture session than an execution - say what you want about the animes, but the real Chiakis death was the worst to watch, IMO. In the killing games, the others mostly had quick deaths. Chiaki suffered.
