That Execution was totally unrelated to the Blackened in question...

Seriously, the hell was up with Celeste's exectuion? It was in no way related to her being the Ultimate Gambler. If anything, I was expecting her to be strapped to a spinning wheel and Monokuma throwing knives at her.

Its more based on her personality, burned at the stake is a romantic way to guy that fits her character. She got denied it tho by the firetruck

Celeste's dream was to own a huge mansion with handsome male staff and being treated like a princess. This is basically why she gambles. Versailles is mentioned in the execution's title and it references the French royal palace of the same name. This is in reference to her aforementioned dream. She was burned at the stake like witches would be in medieval times, as she turned out to be a villain rather than royalty. It's not directly related to her Ultimate title, no, but it perfectly fits with her general personality and the reason why Celeste gambled in the first place. Don't forget that Celeste used her gambling talent to take all the life savings of several people; it's mentioned during the prologue. Even if she didn't get executed, you can't exactly argue that Celeste is a kindhearted person, which doesn't fit the fairytale princess trope.

And then there's the firetruck, who denies Celeste her dramatic farewell.

Yeah, but, at the same time, Monokuma specifically states that it's something suited to the title of "Ultimate Gambler". And the previous two deaths were related to the blackends' titles. Leon was pelted to death with baseballs and Mondo was crushed by riding a bike in a circle cage at high speeds.

Was that stated specifically about Celeste's execution or something Monokuma said in general? Because I'm a bit puzzled about that statement. I can only interpret the execution in a more symbolic way for who Celeste is as a person, so now I'm getting curious about whether this is a case of something being lost in translation or something else.

To be fair Celeste's punishment fits better than the ones who come after her

That's pretty much what he said. I just got past that part last night, so I remember it clearly.

It's never exactly said that the executions are tailored specifically to someones ultimate talent, more that they're made to suit some trait of theirs. Leon and Mondo's both just happened to be more in line with their talents, altho you good argue it either way with Mondo.
