Danganrpa part 6

The Japanese title of Leon's execution, Senbon Nokku (千本ノック), references to a Japanese training method with the same name of making players catch balls until collapsing from exhaustion. Due to the brutality of Leon's execution, it was censored in the anime broadcast. However, the uncut version was seen in the Funimation dub. The execution has also been evidently toned down during the game's development, as made clear by its more graphic early version. Leon's execution is similar to Teruteru Hanamura's execution. Both begin with the blackened getting nervous as the other students gather around them before being dragged by the neck with a chain and tied to a pole. The similarities above are also shared with Kaede Akamatsu's execution. The beginning of his execution also bears a resemblance to that of Kirumi Tojo, which also features a distorted black-and-white image of her face while she screams. The execution could be a reference to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean, as in Chapter 688, the main character pelts another character with a baseball 1000 times.
