Nagito Komaeda

Nagito Komaeda, is a student of Hope's Peak Academy's Class 77-B, and a participant of the School Trip. His title is the Ultimate Lucky Student. Nagito was born into a wealthy family and extraordinary luck, causing him to experience repeated cycles of extreme bad luck followed by even greater good luck.The earliest known occurrence was when his beloved pet dog was killed after being hit by a truck, devastating him. The good luck that supposedly came afterward, however, remained unmentioned. Another cycle transpired while he was in elementary school, boarding a plane alongside his family from the San Cristóbal Airport. Once they boarded, the plane was hijacked. Conveniently, a meteorite the size of a closed fist struck the airplane at the right time, hitting the hijacker and his parents, who died instantly. The surviving Nagito disturbingly retold this tale in an optimistic manner, believing it was good luck since he obtained his freedom on top of inheriting their immense fortune as he had no other living relatives. Though this implied that he had a strained relationship with his parents, supported by the fact that he once mentioned offhandedly that his mother never complimented his appearance, he remembered during Island Mode that his parents once took him to an amusement park during his childhood. He was also terrified by the mere idea of an aircraft, where his parents had perished. Nonetheless, the cycle continued. While kidnapped by a murderer, Nagito found a lottery ticket inside the trash bag that his kidnapper had stuffed him in. After he was safely taken in by the police, he discovered that the lottery ticket was worth 300 million dollars, much to his surprise. Having suffered endless tragedies due to his luck, which often harmed those around him as well, Nagito developed an intense and unhealthy faith in hope as a way to continue living and find meaning in his life. To him, hope is a positive force, and everything it creates is "an absolute good."
