Talent Extraction

Talent extraction is a term introduced in DRP2: The Rich Life of Vacation Killing. It is a process created by Gabes in order to extract talents from Ultimate students.

Overview
Talent extraction was created by Gabes with his skills as the Ultimate Bioengineer. To do this, a liquid is extracted from the body of the talented student which contains the talent. Through this process the talent is extracted and the student is left talentless. Because of this, Gabes believed the talentless students should be killed immediately after since "they have lost their purpose in life". The liquid can be recreated and cloned once extracted which is why talent extraction has become the base of cloning and the reason behind the clone's talents.

DRP2: The Rich Life of Vacation Killing
During the first few chapters a few students go missing. In reality, what had happened was that they had been kidnapped by Nobody and Mahiru in order to sent to the underground level of the mansion, have their talents extracted, and later get killed. Throughout the game all the students who are "executed" are actually taken to the underground level and go through the same process. The surviving students find out about this through the camera feeds.

DRP3: Virtue's Last Ronpa
At the beginning of the game, all students are equipped with a bracelet. This bracelet contains a needle that will extract the talent of the person before they are killed in order to preserve it in a vial. Many students die in the process and have their talent extracted. However, in the end Monokuma is ordered by Girl to destroy all the talents found in the ship.
