EPISODE CONTEXT

As the first of thirteen episodes, this premiere carries the full weight of world-building and cast introductions, establishing the locked-school premise and the rules that will drive every conflict forward. No prior context is needed — this is ground zero. Everything set up here — the characters, the setting, Monokuma's ultimatum — becomes the framework the remaining twelve episodes will systematically dismantle.
