One, two...
Nyah! Nyah!
You piece of trash!
You're filthy!
You stink!
You're gross!
Hey, someone snap a pic!
You're so gross...
Don't come to school, nerd!
He came home after being bullied again.
What will we do if he becomes a shut-in?
His education is your responsibility.
That's all you ever say!
You're pushing all of this on me?
Have some consideration for your own child...
Better... It needs to be better...
I need to make an even more incredible anime.
Not enough time.
Not enough time...
Not enough time to make this world better!
The End of Hope's Peak Despair Arc
Hope's Peak High School Reserve Course
My life as a Reserve Course teacher starts today.
I'd tell you how I suffered during my half year in the Reserve Course...
...but it isn't easy to put into words.
My just deserts, the pain of separation, unspeakable hardship,
painstaking action, loss of hope, disappointment, pandemonium.
Peaches and chestnuts grow in three years, and persimmons in grow in eight!
"The light of fireflies! Snow by the window! Break, dawn! This morning, we part!"
Then, half a year passed.
March already, huh?
Time flies.
And so, my life in the Reserve Course was coming to an end.
I bet you'll be able to go back to the Main Course soon.
I see I've been worrying you, too.
Don't sweat it.
So, how did your Reserve Course investigation go?
Yeah, about that...
Hey, do you think you could get a Hope's Peak High School Trustee ID?
The trustees?
They are the de facto rulers of Hope's Peak High School.
If I get caught, I'd be fired.
Or worse...
Have you heard of the Kamukura Project?
The Kamukura Project?
The principal and board of trustees are moving forward on this plan in secret.
Most of the Reserve Course funding
is actually going to this project, apparently.
What's more, Kamukura is
the founder of Hope's Peak High School, Kamukura Izuru.
They wouldn't use the founder's name for just any ordinary project.
Hope's Peak High School Founder Kamukura Izuru
But to find out any more,
I really do need a trustee's ID.
When it comes to Munakata, you get serious.
So do you, right?
Tsk.
Oh, right... Do you remember Hinata?
Who?
The boy you caught half a year ago. The one from the Reserve Course.
Oh.
Does that kid have something to do with your investigation?
Back when I was hearing rumors about the Kamukura Project,
Hinata Hajime
Expelled
he suddenly quit school.
Principal's Office
Huh?
You're sure I can go back to that class?
With your talent, I can't leave you playing around in the Reserve Course forever.
From today on, you are their official homeroom teacher.
Thank you!
Thank you so much!
You make such a big deal out of everything, Chisa.
I really should have taken responsibility for what happened at the start.
You're being reassigned to focus on scouting, right?
Well, it's easier on me this way.
Good luck with being a homeroom teacher.
See to it that your students don't cause any other problems.
Um, are you still unable to contact Komaeda?
Yeah, we haven't heard a thing from him.
Knowing him, he probably won a raffle for a free around-the-world tour.
I see...
Well, I hear the principal's been negotiating
for his suspension to be lifted.
Thank you!
Well, just wait patiently for it.
U-Um, I'll come right back, so could I go see my students for a bit?
Sure. Go right ahead.
Okay!
That's nice! What a youthful teacher!
We need to prepare for the entrance ceremony, as well.
It will get busy here.
There were enough kids this year that we needed multiple classes,
but next year, we don't have that many...
We'll have to blame the scout for that.
Now, now.
I'm proud to say that the few I did gather are good enough to compensate.
You should know that better than anyone.
Who can say?
Coming back now, after what happened...
I'm a failure as a teacher, aren't I?
No! I've got to keep fighting!
If I let this get to me, Kyousuke will laugh!
As Kyousuke's partner, I must become a woman he won't...
Oh, my! His "partner"? Gosh...
I'm going in!
Everyone! I'm ba—
Welcome back, Instructor Yukizome!
Instructor Chisa!! Welcome back!!!
Instructor Yukizome...
Instructor!
Miss Yukizo—
Instructor Chisa!
Yeah! Instructor Yukizome!
It's been so long!
Have you been well?
Y-Yes...
Why so flustered?
Got a stomachache or something?
Aren't you glad to be back with Ibuki and friends?
Was I the only one who wanted us to meet again?
No, it's just, uh...
You were all waiting for me to come back.
Nanami planned this party.
Nanami, thank you.
I just happened to hear about it from Instructor Kizakura.
Don't be so modest.
You have brought us all together this past year.
As the Super High School-Level Team Manager,
you get my seal of approval!
On nearly a daily basis, Nanami planned game tournaments, picnics, and more.
She has supported each of us.
Her hard work had an eye for quality.
Look, Instructor Yukizome!
Even Kuzuryuu's here, like he ought to be!
I-I dunno what you're talking about.
At first, Kuzuryuu said, "No."
But he gave in after he saw how hard Nanami was working, right?
Oh, shut up!
Amazing!
That's amazing, Nanami!
You worked really hard.
I didn't work particularly hard...
But as long as we're here, we might as well enjoy it, right?
Nanami!
Goodness.
You have become so dependable.
Come on, you're exaggerating...
By the way, where is Saionji?
If you're looking for Hiyoko, she's ruining the moment by being in the washroom!
Her timing's just awful.
Hey, it's Instructor Yukizome!
Welcome back!
Huh?
Are you Saionji's older sister?
It's me!
Uh...
Huh...
She hit her growth spurt.
Now, my wish has come true!
I can finally bend every joint in Tsumiki's body in weird directions!
What kind of wish is that?
I see you haven't changed at all inside.
Regardless, as befits this Dark Sabbath...
...our mentor has returned!
With a toast to the Lords of the Nine Circles of Hell...
...let our dark feast...
...begin!
Why are you two in sync?
After half a year, Sonia's picked up your habits, huh?
Come on, Instructor.
Now, one more time!
Welcome back, Instructor Yukizome!
Everyone!
I'm back!
I don't have time to be buddy-buddy with everyone.
I...
I need to create anime.
You're pushing yourself too hard, Mitarai.
I don't have enough time.
To imbue the cels with my soul...
...it just isn't enough!
Mitarai Ryouta
Super High School-Level Animator
An anime filled with hope...
I need to make an anime that will save anyone who sees it!
I see...
In that case, eat.
Hanamura's personality is warped...
...but the dishes he cooks are exquisite.
When it comes down to it, fats and sugars are all you can believe in.
It's not easy being talented.
Thank you.
Keep the change.
Thank you very much!
Finally...
Okay!
In the B-Part, it's the Enoshima Time you have all been waiting for!
Enoshima Junko
Super High School-Level Fashion Diva
The End of Hope's Peak Despair Arc
"A mysterious beautiful young girl, standing in the airport...
A A
...Enoshima Junko.
Waiting for her is...
Yes, one of the Despair Sisters,
the smelly one...
Ikusaba Mukuro."
Ikusaba Mukuro
Super High School-Level Soldier
Junko, I'm glad you came to meet me, but...
What is that?
Oh, I'm talking "narrator-style."
I-I see...
"Thus did the event which would later plunge the world into despair,
A A
the Biggest, Most Atrocious Despair-Inducing Incident in Human History...
...quietly begin to move forward.
At that time...
...everyone had yet to realize this."
Junko...
Sis, do you have more freckles than when I last saw you?
Oh? You think so?
I say you have more now,
so of course you have more.
N-No...
My vision level is 53,000!
Are you like that deep-space real estate speculator?
Oh, Junko is trying to kill me.
She's trying to taste the despair of murdering her sister with her own hands.
Junko...
You'll fall into despair if you kill me!
Still, you sure do stink, Sis!
Are you even bathing?
I-I have been...
Then you have got some serious body odor.
That aside, why did you call me here so suddenly?
Because tomorrow's our high school entrance ceremony.
High school?
I'll say this for your benefit, since you're stupid, ignorant, and smelly.
It isn't just any old high school.
It's a "special" school that they call "the School of Hope".
You were chosen to be a student there, too.
Huh?
We're going there together!
Junko, you seem happy.
Of course I am!
It's making my heart throb with excitement!
Class Garbage
Gross
Die
Mother fucker
I had neither physical strength...
...nor the ability to get along with others.
What saved a guy like me...
...was anime.
But it's pointless if you die before you can save anyone else.
Anime... saved me.
Yeah, I've heard...
So now, with my anime, everyone will be...
Mitarai?
I want to save... everyone... with my anime.
This is no time for hesitation.
78th Class Entrance Ceremony
As of tomorrow, I'll be an upperclassman, too—
You're coming with me.
Huh?
I need you.
Wh-What?
Could... this... be...
...the kind of development you can only show on late-night TV?!
Well?
I-It's overwork and malnutrition,
so if he rests a while, he'll be fine, but...
What is this?
I suppose after having seen this much, I should explain.
B-But I'm not going to insist!
It happened shortly after we began school here.
While I was in my room, I began to hear odd noises.
I need... to eat something...
Who are you?
I have no name.
No family register, no relatives, nothing.
Super High School-Level Impostor
The only thing I have is my talent as an impostor.
Using that, I've lived my days in the guise of others.
However, for certain reasons, I won't be able to keep using this form.
I did some research on you.
On me?
You find everything unpleasant, other than making anime.
If you could, you'd spend all your time making anime.
Uh, yes, that's right.
I want... to make more anime.
Then why not leave your name, the existence known as "Mitarai Ryouta," to me?
Mitarai, who wanted to shut himself away to make anime.
I, who wanted to take his place.
Our interests were one and the same.
That's how it is, Tsumiki.
What's wrong?
S-Since you have told me everything...
...you have no intent of letting me leave alive, right...?
Don't be silly.
Then, is this how it's going to be?
But I don't know if I'll live up to everyone's expectations—
That isn't necessary.
I trust my classmates.
You trust me?
Thank you!
Why should you thank me?
Because no one's ever said something so nice to me before!
As of tomorrow, we'll be upperclassmen.
Have more confidence.
Y-Yes!
78th Class Entrance Ceremony
Ready to go?
Yeah, time to go.
A A
"A wind blew past...
It was the moment that the two, who would plunge Hope's Peak High School...
...and ultimately the world, into the depths of despair...
...first came to the school!"
So narration's your current obsession, Junko?
Yeah, sorta...
I'm sick of it now, though.
This is where our new school lives will begin!
I'm looking forward to it!
Maybe I'll have a fated meeting with someone.
For people like you, who have no talent...
...you don't need to think.
If you live life idly, groveling before your betters, nothing can make you happier.
See you later.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
Nanami...
I...
It's time.
Don't worry, it will be fine.
You may feel a little confused when you wake...
...but you'll be back to normal in no time.
You can become someone who embodies this school's ideals.
I...
I will live the life I want to lead.
I will become the protagonist of my own story.
I will become a version of me that I can be proud of around Nanami.
Beginning of the End
