Chapter 3 Culprits

Chapter 3 Culprits is the polyship between Celestia Ludenberg, Korekiyo Shinguji and Mikan Tsumiki from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
All the three haven't interacted as the three are from different Danganronpa's games, with Celestia being part of the Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Mikan from the Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, and Korekiyo being from the Danganronpa V3: Killing Armony. However, all of them have few similarities.

During the first chapter, they all didn't shown on interacting with the first victim of the chapter, but nevertheless they all worked together along with their classmates for finding out the culprit of the case for revenging their dead classmate. Following the chapter one and chapter 2 murders, they all also planned a difficult murder that would make the protagonists frame another person which the culprits themselves had marked.

In Chapter 3, Mikan, Celestia, and Korekiyo commited double murder, as Celestia had manipulated Hifumi Yamada for killing Kiyotaka Ishimaru, and then Celestia killed Yamada after he did what she had said, Mikan with killing Ibuki Mioda and Hiyoko Saionji, and finally Korekiyo killing Angie Yonaga and Tenko Chabashira. In Korekiyo's case, he had killed Tenko and Angie in different places, while the other two Mikan and Celestia had killed their victims and dragged them to a same place.

Then, they all were discovered by the own main characters and so showing their true selves, with Celestia being found out as culprit by Makoto Naegi after trying to frame Yasuhiro Hagakure for Yamada and Ishimaru's murder and then failing. Moments later she would be seen confessing that she was more desesperate for escaping than everyone else but even so she had to pretend being calm, and then with Monokuma revealing her true name as Taeko Yasuhiro.

In Mikan's case, she was found out as the culprit by Hajime Hinata, as he revealed that she had killed both Ibuki and Hiyoko. Tsumiki was trying to act normal, which succeeded at the beggining, but then she was shown begging for her classmates' forgiviness and desesperate that no one was going to do that. She then confesses that she did that for her beloved, as Mikan was being brainwashed with the Despair Disease, and before her execution she was acting a bit cruel with everyone specially to Nagito Komaeda after her crimes were exposed.

Finally, in Korekiyo's case, after his crimes were exposed by Shuichi Saihara after killing Angie and Tenko, he revealed his double personality, as he was acting like his "sister" by removing his mask and revealing a maked-up face resembling her sister's face, while he was trying to contradict Shuichi so Shinguji wouldn't be exposed. His plans failed though, because after all his efforts, he finally was convinced for admitting his crimes, as he did that so his sister would make thousands of friends according to him.

They also had a motive for committing murder; with Celestia wanting to not only getting out, but also claim Monokuma's money that had offered right after Mondo's murder, Mikan for her beloved's love, and Korekiyo for his sister, as he wanted her to have friends while she was on heaven.

Ultimately, they were are calm during their execution, as they had bizarre executions with Celestia being burned up and then being killed by a firefighter's truck, Mikan being dragged to the space while she was on a syringe, and Korekiyo's soul being tortured with salt by his own sister and Monokuma as he wanted to go with his sister together.

Fanon
It's a rarepair to the fandom, but it's shipped because the similarities between the three of them. Between the similarties they can share, it's that a small part of the Danganronpa fandom hates them, but Celestia could be an exception since she's a bit loved by fans. Mikan, in part, for "pretending" on being innocent and pure in the Class Trial so nobody would notice that she would have killed more than one person. Korekiyo for being a "incestful" person as he was his sister's lover, and so for killing Angie and Tenko, but in another part, there are few fans that hated both Angie and Tenko and were glad that they have been killed. Celestia isn't hated at all, but for Ishimaru's and Yamada's fans (which are only few of them) Celestia would be considered as someone to hate.

They all have their respective popular ships, as for Celestia being Celesgiri, with Mikan Band Aid, and for Korekiyo Shinnaga.
