The school's overseas expansion is canceled?
Yes, that is the decision of the board of directors.
But I have received no explanation.
There is nothing more you can say...
Call Ended
Does the enemy control even the board of directors?
How did the investigation go?
What?
Sorry, it's nothing.
Enoshima Junko is innocent.
You're certain?
Yeah, no doubt about it.
There wasn't anything but circumstantial evidence.
No concrete evidence whatsoever.
She has an alibi, too.
Still... she is the most likely culprit.
Do you doubt my investigation?
Fair enough...
If you say so, it must be right.
Yeah, Enoshima Junko is innocent.
Damn it!
Damn it! Damn it!
Damn it!
I... am going to kill her!
Absolutely!
If Enoshima Junko is innocent...
Yukizome?
Kyousuke!
I can see you, at last!
I've wanted to see you.
Oh, how I've wanted to!
Sorry it took so long.
I thought I'd never see you again...
You're exaggerating.
Yukizome... can I ask you something?
It's about Enoshima Junko.
According to Sakakura, she's innocent.
But what do you think?
Just a second...
Yeah, I think so, too.
She has nothing to do with it.
What's the matter?
Nothing. It seems I was mistaken.
This is a tale of hope that ends in despair.
In that sense, this story already approaches its conclusion.
All that remains is for the world that is neither hopeful nor despairing...
...to be simply stained with despair.
The End of Hope's Peak Despair Arc
Today, Hope's Peak High School is finished!
Enjoying yourself, I see.
Your plan comes to fruition today.
Correct.
And this is where it begins!
Everything will be blown away...
...with our despairful despair!
Goodbye, Hope's Peak High School
We have been through a lot together.
That I was able to be your teacher...
...brings me pride.
What, are you crying?
Hey, Souda!
Have some tact!
We're at the very end... I can't be acting like this.
For today, I've written a letter to all of you.
Huh?
A letter?
I mean, this is goodbye for us.
I wanted to do something teacher-like at the end, at least...
They will now act in the name of despair, I see.
Those with the world's greatest talents, the Hope's Peak High School students.
If they fall into despair...
...in short order,
it will trigger the world being stained with despair.
They have become me, but they are not me.
They will go and infect the world with despair.
Infect it?
Huh? How do you not get it, Sis?
Taking the perspective of the viewers?
B-But you never told me...
It's an air of unrest.
A fun atmosphere, you could say...
Like the fun atmosphere Nanami created for her class.
The symbol of hope, this school...
...the atmosphere of hope itself in this world...
When those change, everything will change!
Memetic waves?
Right.
Fashion trends, the manga everyone reads, bullying in class...
Culture, ideology, trends...
Infectious information, memes.
Yes!
All those who have become your classmates...
...will spread a despairful atmosphere throughout the world!
The world will be stained with even more wonderful despair!
Okay, I'll read it now.
As your homeroom teacher...
...and as your upperclassman, who graduated from Hope's Peak before you...
...I cheer you on from the bottom of my heart.
In your lives to come...
...I think there will be sad and difficult times.
Even so...
...remember what you learned at this school...
...and spread your wings wide.
I feel sad when I think I won't be seeing you anymore...
...but I'll be cheering you on in your future endeavors.
Your homeroom teacher...
...Yukizome Chisa.
Everyone...
I am so glad I was in this class!
I'm gonna eat until I'm full!
I'll make this world happy with my music!
I'll make everyone happy with my dancing, too.
Leave taking beautiful pictures to me.
I shall make a peaceful country, free of war.
You were my true friends!
I'll bring miracle drugs to hospitals around the world!
With Peko, I'll guide my gang along the right path!
I shall never kill again!
I'll solve the issue of environmental pollution!
I'll feed everyone lots of nutritious food!
I can become anything.
Even becoming president isn't just a dream!
I'm gonna support everyone's dreams!
No matter how great the despair that faces us...
...hope will always triumph in the end.
That is why I can contentedly become despair.
Yes... Yes...
I understand.
All of you will officially have been killed here,
and be removed from the school's protection list.
You don't have to keep repeating it...
We know.
If the school protected Super High School-Level Despairs, it'd look pretty bad!
I'm sorry, I just can't get out of the teacher's mindset.
So long, everyone.
Let's meet again.
You kept your word, I see.
I erased their memories of you.
Why have me do something so tedious?
In the near future...
...I will meet them once more.
When that time comes, if we already know one another, won't it be boring?
That is why I intend to erase my memories of them, as well.
Don't tell me...
I want to find out...
Hope or despair?
Which is it that I cannot predict?
If her feelings can defeat your expectations and save them...
...I may be able to say hope is more unpredictable than despair.
How much screen time must I spend explaining this?
Hope is harmony, despair is chaos.
So only despair can...
Hey!
Don't you have anything to say?
Like, "I've been in love since the moment I laid eyes on you," or something?
May we meet again.
Let's meet again!
I'll be ready...
...to use you anytime.
The End of Hope's Peak Despair Arc
Who would have thought it could happen so quickly?
All but the 78th class has been wiped out.
Are things outside the school still the same?
Yeah, it's a disaster.
There are an estimated 3,000 deaths,
Simultaneous Worldwide Terrorist Attacks
Death toll estimated at more than 3000 people
which includes the terrorists.
It's all too convenient.
Like someone is pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
"Someone"?
You aren't telling me there's a mastermind behind this, are you?
Who knows?
I'm sure it isn't anything a lowly man like me could discern.
You sound like you're insinuating something.
I'm sorry...
I was just thinking my daughter probably could.
The Super High School-Level Detective, Kirigiri Kyouko, huh?
Had I turned to her for help sooner...
You're a parent, Jin.
I can't blame you.
Our remaining in the school will not improve the situation, regardless.
We must plan our escape.
Yes.
You two, do that.
Hmm?
I will remain here.
I will entrust hope to the surviving students.
Until this ends, we will carry out a Shelter Project in the old school building.
What do the students say?
All of them have given their consent.
I see.
As long as the next generation's hope survives,
this world can have as many second chances as it needs.
That is...
...the ideal Hope's Peak High School should have always held.
It's ironic.
Only when it has come to this do we realize something that should have been obvious.
I will not stop you.
I leave the school's management to its principal.
I'm grateful for that.
While the principal defends hope,
I will act from outside.
What will you do, Kizakura?
I'll be joining you, Tengan.
I wouldn't want to get between a father and his daughter.
You're scary to the very end!
Hey...
Hmm?
If anything... should happen and the Shelter Project should fail...
Don't sound so dispirited.
Well, if it comes down to it,
I'll defend Kyoko, even at the cost of my life, Jin.
Well, I think they have done enough.
"Thanks for everything."
There.
Monokuma's Gloomy Sunday
Wh-What? What are they doing?
A scene so full of despair...
Trying to understand it is impossible.
Even if they were trash...
...seeing so many die at once is just despairful!
Why didn't you let them join us?
Huh?
Duh, because they were worthless scum, Dumb, Fat, and Ugly!
Even if their brains were rewired to be like mine...
...their base specs were too low.
I... I see.
You'd better watch out, too, Sis.
We may be blood relatives,
but if I have to, I'll stab you in a second.
Okay.
Well, we'd better be off!
Our classmates... are waiting.
Everything is going like you planned.
Yeah, kinda.
If I were to name one thing I wasn't able to predict so far,
it might be him, maybe...
Are you all right?
Ow.
What's up?
Enoshima...
I'm fine.
I just slipped a bit.
I see.
That's good.
It'd be bad if you got hurt at a time like this.
Are you sure you're all right?
Yeah.
Be careful.
If you need treatment, it won't be so easy to get.
I'm fine.
And I'm sure we only need to be patient for a little longer.
Yeah.
Naegi Makoto...
He's in the way!
Isn't he just a loser?
The thing about his luck is...
...it isn't like Komaeda's.
It comes and goes, so even I can't predict it.
A-Are you gonna kill him?
I'll pass!
If that loser can throw my plan out of whack,
I think that is, itself, despairful!
Hey, guys.
This is...
I don't know what to say, but...
This really is our graduation, I guess.
Goodbye, my students.
Yukizome!
Kyousuke?
Are you all right?
My class...
We were too late?
I'm sorry.
N-No, it isn't your fault, Kyousuke.
But...
Let's go.
Is that all right?
Yeah, it isn't anything important.
"How boring."
That's what that long-haired boy would say, I'm sure.
Everything went according to the future Enoshima Junko had hoped for.
My students went out to infect the world with despair.
The despair they spread induced yet more despair.
It wasn't long before the world was fully stained with despair.
Of course, I followed the future she'd predicted, as well.
How awful!
Damn you, Despairs.
If I had reported Enoshima, this never would have...!
Kyousuke!
Let's stop the despair!
Let's create a world without despair!
Yeah.
I'm sure you can do it, Kyousuke.
I'll support you for as long as I live.
So that you...
...can despair more deeply than any of us.
Yes, this is a tale of hope that ends in despair.
So, does it have a bad ending, you ask?
Hmm...
I wonder.
For her and for those who worshiped her,
I'm sure this was exactly the ending they wanted.
Besides, was a happy ending even possible for this story, to begin with?
Everywhere is a Battlefield
After all, if despair were to vanish from the entire world...
...that would pretty despairful in its own way!
Um...
Oh, sorry.
I may have been a bit too focused on my game.
I'm Nanami Chiaki.
I'm the Super High School-Level Gamer.
Games are my hobby.
I'm good with any genre.
Nice to meet you.
I'm...
I'm Hinata Hajime.
Nice to meet you.
Sure, nice to meet you.
I want to find out...
Hope or despair?
Which is it that I cannot predict?
