Wait- it'd actually be really cool to imagine what sort of murders the 100 chracters would commit that would get them sent to Milgram.

I mean Eito and Yugamu obviously already have enough murders in canon, like blowing up a hospital and y'know literally being an assassin, but the other characters are where it would get interesting to think about.

(obvs imagining this in an au where theres no world death, cryptoglobin, war etc.)

Takumi: Being the regular guy that he is, he would probably kill someone on accident. I can't really see him purposefully killing someone outside of a scenario that's as fucked up as the war we see in canon. The only other option I could see that works is him killing someone to protect Karua in some way.

Although thematically Takumi would also make a great warden in a Milgram AU— his choices dictating the fates of everyone else...

Nozomi: I could see this going a few different ways. If we still assume that her mom is some sort of researcher then Nozomi might try to help her mom with her research, but make some sort of mistake that leads to someone's death. Or she might find out about some cruel experiment at the facility (similar to how she found everyone in the pods in canon) and kill the people responsible in order to put an end to it.

Darumi: Honestly, I think she would just kill her abusive family. And then she would probably pretend that she did it because of her love of killing games and stuff, because she wants to be voted guilty, because of her self-hatred.

Gaku: I can imagine him either killing an abusive boss from one of his many workplaces when the stress gets too much or trying to mug someone when money gets too tight for his family and accidentaly killing the person in the process.

Hiruko: tbh I'm having a tough time coming up something for her. It might be a bit similar to Kotoko, but I could see Hiruko killing people she perceives to be evil for the sake of the greater good. Maybe it was actually about protecting people in the beginning, but then she grew addicted to it, similarly to how she feels about fighting the invaders in canon.

Moko: Either an accident in the ring or drama backstage leading to a fight where she has to kill someone in self defence or in defence of someone else.

Ima: Given how ready he was to stab Takemaru in route 0, I think you can assume that he has had his fair share of encounters with violence in his past. Like, I don't know if it's ever explicitly stated in canon that he has killed someone in the past, but you can very much infer that and just copy paste his backstory for this AU

Kako: With her, I think it might be more abstract than an actual murder. I think she might have had a vision of someone (maybe a classmate) being in danger and she warned them, but that person didn't believe her and ended up dead. Kako would end up in Milgram, because she feels responsible for not doing more to prevent that person's fate.

Kurara: Either she or her family would pay for someone to be assassinated (even if it's just her family and not her directly, she would still end up in Milgram for being/feeling complicit) or she would get sent to Milgram for all the deaths that happen as a result of her family's weapon manufacturing.

Kyoshika: She might kill somone if she happened across some sort of injustice, like seeing someone being assaulted or something, and because of her sheltered nature she would simply defeat the villain like all the heroes in the mangas she always reads (this one might be ooc, tbh I don't think I have a good grasp of her character)

Shouma: I think he might be responsible for someone's death due to inaction. Like, he happens across someone having a medical emergency, but because he thinks 'a filthy bug like me wouldn't be helpful anyway' he doesn't do anything and the person dies. Might also be bystander effect. If there were other people around he would think that they are all much more competent than him and he doesn't want to get in their way, but in actuality if he had acted then the person would have had a chance to survive.

Takemaru: Maybe one of the members of his gang goes to far in a fight and ends up killing someone and Takemaru feels responsible for not holding them back/not paying enough attention. (This is also one that I'm not sure about)

Tsubasa: This one is really simple. She tinkers with something and it ends up causing an accident that kills someone. Even more depressing if the person that dies is her grandpa. Double as depressing if her grandpa pushes her out of the way of whatever accident is happening to protect her.

Shion/FB/Ghost Boy: If Takumi is not the warden, then Shion would be. I don't really know how else I could incorporate him into this AU.

Sirei & Nigou: Obviously they would take the place of jackalope.

And that's it! It's funny, you can see how I'm getting more abstract with my ideas as this post goes on. I'm just telling myself— they can't all kill someone on accident/in self defense.

Anyway, just needed to get this out of my brain and shout it into the void lol
