What are these circles?
Marks showing full attendance!
Yep! It's going great!
We'll need to choose a class rep soon, too.
Sounds hard on the assistant homeroom teacher...
Who was their homeroom teacher again?
Oh, I have to go out scouting now.
There's a girl they say is undefeated in the underground gambling world.
Right.
Well, anyway, don't get lax now...
What?
If the students cause problems,
we might end up Reserve Course teachers...
It'll be fine.
My students are all good kids!
Oh...
Hello, Yukizome speaking.
Please save me, Instructor Yukizome!
They're too much for me—!
Say what?
Instructor Kizakura!
He got away, huh?
The End of Hope's Peak Despair Arc
Hey, what are you doing—
What's wrong?!
I'm not done yet!
My classroom is literally falling apart...
What do we do about this?
The teacher who came to class fainted, too.
Enough!
Nidai, destruction of the classroom is a matter of serious concern!
What did you say?!
We're training in realistic combat conditions!
Well, it's okay, then.
It's okay?
Such is the fate of this globe, is it?
Damn it!
How am I supposed to beat him?
Would you like me to give you something nice?
I worked on this with the Super High School-Level Pharmacist, our upperclassman.
If you drink our special soup...
Oh! That smells delish!
Thank you.
O-Owari?
Wh-What?
She's at 100% of 100%!
How do you like my Doping Corn Soup?
I feel incredible power coursing through my body.
With this...
Here I come, old man!
If this is what it's come to...
Hey! I told you not to do that!
You're good!
Did you run away, too?
Everyone's crazy.
They don't come together as a group at all.
Well, people like us don't need to group together, anyway.
If you have talent, your future is peachy.
We're a bunch of elite kids, gathered from across Japan, with that motto.
If we just graduate, we're set for life.
We have no trials we need to overcome by uniting.
No reason to make friends, either.
Either way, my gaming talent won't earn me any friends.
That's totally untrue!
You shouldn't just sayyou can't make friends!
Instructor...
You can't make friends through gaming?
Huh?
The games you love are so worthless?
They are not!
If games are fun to play by yourself,
they'll be even more fun to play with everyone.
Play... with everyone...
Sorry I couldn't contact you.
How are things with you-know-what?
Hope's Peak High School is changing greatly.
Suddenly... and to an abnormally large degree.
The funds are coming from the Reserve Course?
Yes.
From those students chosen,
irrespective of talent, who pay massive fees to attend the school.
About Hope's Peak High School's Reserve Course
Then, the issue is how that money is being used, yes?
The board of trustees that controls the school...
They're hiding something.
For now, I'll focus my investigation on the Reserve Course.
I don't think they're doing this just to raise funds.
Sorry to push a dangerous job off on you.
If that's how you feel, then call me "Chisa."
Next time, sure.
Kyousuke, you bully.
If Hope's Peak High School's overseas expansion is a success...
...my ability to speak will be much increased.
Yeah.
Let's rebuild this school as it should be.
I'm counting on you.
Later.
Instructor!
You were out here?
Oh, Koizumi...
Everyone's been waiting in the classroom.
For me?
Thank you.
I'll finish this up and be right there!
Huh?
A lunchbox?
Oh, yes.
I was planning to eat with a friend.
Oh, right!
Your friend from middle school is in the Reserve Course...
When did you learn that?
Well, I am your teacher!
Then, go have fun with your friend!
Honestly...
...what an odd teacher.
Hinata!
Wh-What's up?
That should be my line.
How can you spend your precious break time alone?
It's a waste!
Wh-What about you, Instructor?
Why are you on your own?
I wanted to learn a bit more about the Reserve Course.
You're just the person for it.
Why did you join the Reserve Course?
Oh...
Did I not say before?
I've always aspired to enter Hope's Peak High School...
And that's why you entered the Reserve Course?
That's right.
But I can't find the resolve.
Resolve?
Do you have a transfer option into the Main Course or something?
Ah... no...
B-But why are you so concerned about a lowly Reserve Course student?
Hinata!
You shouldn't ever call yourself "lowly"!
B-B-But...
Everything starts with belief in yourself!
What do you say?
Y-Y-Yes.
Very good.
Right, I've been keeping everyone waiting.
I'll ask you more later.
That girl is as lively as ever.
Mr. Tengan...
May I sit next to you?
The deadline is coming up.
Do you know your answer yet?
No, not yet...
I see.
As an adviser to the school, I shouldn't say this...
...but I am not particularly in favor of that project.
Right...
Because hope comes from people acting like people.
If you don't want it, you can decline.
But my family doesn't have the money for the school fees.
You can also return to your former high school.
That isn't...
You can live on as yourself.
Do not fear normalcy.
The End of Hope's Peak Despair Arc
Get 'em, Owari!
Nanami, the enemy forces are nearly defeated!
What are you doing?
It may not look like it, but...
...playing games!
Anyone could see that.
Surprised?
I built this monitor!
The games came from Nanami.
It's this big, with 16K resolution!
Huh?
She suggested we all play, and even brought games she recommended.
And it has a blue light display that's easy on the eyes!
Nanami did?
Unhand me!
We shall both fall to the depths of the abyss like this!
Bring it on!
Aw, yeah!
Instructor...
You can make friends with games.
Oh, Nanami, the next round is starting.
Obviously, the colors are perfect, too!
Right.
It's a hybrid model for all needs!

Yeah! I'm two spaces from the goal!

I won't lose.
I got passed.
I'm going on ahead!
I got passed again!
If I use this item...
I fell in the sea!
Goal.
Ack.
Yay! I'm in second!
Ack...
Whew, finally back on cour—
One more time.
Bomber Guy!!!
Bomber Guy!
All the players are girls, though...
It is what you call a "girls' night out."
A girls' night out, where we all throw bombs?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Amazing.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Tsumiki, if you spread that many bombs around...
I'm sorry!
Forgive me!
Oh? This scent is...
I give! I give!
Keep trying!
Everyone, you must be hungry!
It's Versailles-style queue de boeuf, presented as meat and potato stew.
Versai... What?
Versailles-style...
Basically, it's nikujaga, Sis.
I helped a bit, too!
Wow...
You only helped at the very end.
This certainly looks Super High-School Level.
If you help, you have to from the beginning.
Chiaki made the request to Teruteru!
Nanami did?
We were all busy repairing the classroom,
so we hadn't eaten properly yet, she said.
Sometimes, I get so engrossed in games, I forget to eat...
Nanami!
I-It cannot be.
The unspeakable Demon King, who resides in the depths of the Nine Hells, has returned?!
It's her stomach rumbling.
It's you?
I made lots, so have as much as you like.
Aw, yeah!
Everyone has theirs now, right?
Then, put your hands together, and...
Thank you for the food!
I want seconds!
That was fast!
It's okay.
But you looked so overwhelmed!
I want thirds!
Savor it a little more.
It's lovely.
My ears could just fall off.
So close!
A bit farther forward on the face...
Why are you crying?
I... finally may have found it.
A fragment of hope.
Uh, okay.
I have cold soup, too!
I don't want your sketchy soup.
There's been enough doping today.
No, I have more than just Doping Corn Soup...
Huh?
One of my soups is missing?
Is this the one you mean?
Ah! That's...!
What... is this?
What's wrong?
S-Stop.
Don't touch me...
Wh-What?
Wh-Why is my heart racing?
Nidai, old man...
Swoon...
Swoon!
Wh-What is this?
M-My body is burning up!
My Love Heart is ready to charge!
No selfies...
The focus will blur.
Saionji, what is the meaning of this?
Oh, nothing.
I just mixed the soup in this bottle with the nikujaga.
Of all the options...
You used my Sexy Sexy Soup, full of aphrodisiacs!
Oh?
Did it hit you too hard, Hanamura?
Th-This is a matter of serious concern...
S-Settle yourself.
My right arm...
M-Me, too...
Oh, Miss Sonia, m-me, too—!
You idiot, stop that.
Let go of me.
I have to help Miss Sonia.
You call yourself a man?
Miss Sonia...
I won't let you do that.
Miss Sonia, Miss Sonia...
The young master is...
I must help him.
P-P-Pekoyama, let me borrow your sword...
Why?
Th-The sword's... tip.
Just... the tip.
Wh-What... will you... use it for?
Hope...
Hope feels amazing.
Nice!
I'm glad I didn't eat that yucky-looking nikujaga!
Just the tip is fine!
Then, how would you like some daikon radish?
Please!
Bro?
Then, how would you like some daikon radish?!
No!
You have awakened a surge of lust within me.
No one can stop me now!
H-Help...
You can lick the bottom of my shoes...
I'm going higher than that—
Heaven-slaying Dragon Fist!
Taylor Swift!
Don't touch my classmate...
I'm your classmate, also.
You were so cool, Nanami!
Like something from Jump Out! Youth.
The way you said, "Don't touch my classmate!"
Though Hanamura, whom she clobbered, is our classmate, too.
But it was an amazing punch!
The Heaven-slaying Dragon Fist.
That attack is special to me.
It's a special attack?
Long ago, there was a gangster called Willy.
A dangerous guy who would fire his machine gun at anything.
There was someone like that?
He not only kidnapped a woman, he pumped her full of lead and killed her.
So, those things, which happen in my country, occur here, too.
They do?!
That attack is the one I used when I finished off Willy.
Amazing!
Nanami, you have that sort of past?
It isn't my past.
You don't know it?
It's the side-scrolling, beat-'em-up masterpiece,
Double Dragon II!
Technos?
You know it?!
It's a total masterpiece.
The first game is a classic, of course.
But I like the rebalanced, smoother gameplay of II!
It had a great influence on later games, and...
Okay!
Let's approach today with cheer, too!
How are you so energetic?
Because I'm an adult.
It wasn't my first time with something like that.
I see.
So that is why I'm not exhausted, either.
Huh? Miss Sonia?
What do you mean? Wha—
Okay!
Let's start homeroom now!
I could have taken volunteers, but I decided alone, based on my own prejudices.
What are you talking about?
For our class rep,
I ask Nanami Chiaki to accept the position!
Huh? I don't wanna.
You should give everything a try.
Nanami would be perfect!
I agree with Miss Sonia!
Sounds fine to me.
I agree!
No problems here, either.
I do not mind in the least.
I don't object!
Same here, I guess.
Why not?
Nice punch!
I'm also in favor, I think.
I-I'm okay with Nanami...
Hmph, so that is what the world has chosen.
I think you're suited for it, too.
What do you say, Nanami?
You heard everyone.
Will you take the job?
Okay.
Good! It's decided, then!
How wonderfully beautiful.
All of you, with Super High School-Level talent...
...will bond more tightly with Nanami's talent to lead you.
Komaeda?
For as long as Nanami is our rep...
...this class and its light will surely never end...
Sorry.
Maybe I've said too much.
Hinata, a new fighting game came out.
Huh?
Want to go to the game center together?
I'm no good at fighting games.
That's fine!
H-Hey...
When you're with everyone...
My Impurest Heart for You
...games are fun!
I will now introduce a new transfer student.
Hello, I am Kuzuryuu Natsumi.
I don't know why I've been put with trash like you, but...
Well, nice to meet you.
