You control monokuma, because you're the mastermind! Makoto, Kyoko, Sayaka, Mondo, Kiyotaka, Chihiro, Yashuhiro, Celestia, Junko, Muruko, Sakura, Aoi, Toko/Syo, Byakuya, Leon, and Hifumi are your little play things, broadcasting this killing game to the world. Have fun. You see on your monitors the students all confused and getting to know each other, you sit in your chair in the hidden room, while you call them all to the gym to explain why they're here.
