Another far fetched Danganronpa theory:
The Monokubs represent the blackened (or rather Masterminds of each murder) for each chapter.
Monokid was Kaede at her worst.
Kokichi accused Kaede of being a bully in the tunnels, and thats mostly what Monokid is, a bully. However, he also encouraged the other Monokubs to work as a group and stay in line, and was arguably the second leader of the group after Monotaro, the same way Kaede is to Shuichi.
Monosuke is Kirumi.
This one is arguably the weakest, but here me out. They both care about success and are business minded. Kirumi appears completely selfless at first, but is revealed to have a selfish streak in her trial. Monosuke seemed to only care about money until Monokid's death, but he was the only one that openly called out Monokid's killer.
The case was also only solved due to one crucial mistake each of them made.
Monodam is Kiyo.
The obvious elephant in the room is that they both killed two people. However, both of them were outcasts and considered scary in their groups. Monodam had a genuine interest in keeping the group together, while Kiyo had a genuine interest in watching the group fall apart.
Monotaro is Gonta.
They both had plotlines involving amnesia, and had a genuine desire to help Miu's killer, despite their compatriots not wanting that. They both desperately want to help out the group, and that ends up hurting them in the process. Their deaths are also the most similar, with Monotaro dying by the same thing that killed Gonta seconds before Gonta did. If you want to read into it, Monotaro was killed by something coming from Monophanie, who we will get into in a minute.
Monophanie is Kokichi.
This one doesn't fit the patterns of the blackends, but it makes too much sense for me not to mention it. They both are the only members of their groups to dislike violence. Monophanie died in chapter four, but Kokichi asked to be executed alongside Gonta in the same chapter. She also had a toxic relationship with Monotaro, mirroring Kokichi and Gonta.
Wait, this means the Monokubs actually have relevance? Abort theory ABORT
