[00:02] ---
    People without talent are like ticks.
[00:08] ---
    Fattening themselves on
    the blood of the talented,
[00:12] ---
    they are ticks, capable only of reproducing.
[00:16] ---
    Finally, those people
    attempted to create hope.
[00:21] ---
    Loading every talent they could
    into one talentless person,
[00:25] ---
    he would serve as the Super
    High School-Level Hope...
[00:29] ---
    ...and the ticks would be
    parasites on that hope.
[00:35] ---
    When I observed him last,
[00:37] ---
    he was far too distraught to be
    the Super High School-Level Hope.
[00:41] ---
    Some of the subject's personality
    still remained at that point.
[00:44] ---
    We have already deleted that personality.
[00:47] ---
    Please rest assured.
[00:49] ---
    Heart rate is normal.
[00:51] ---
    All right, open the capsule.
[01:15] ---
    Now that you have been reborn
    as this world's hope,
[01:19] ---
    I christen you with the name of our
    school's founder, Izuru Kamukura.
[02:57] ---
    Later.
[02:59] ---
    See you tomorrow.
[02:59] ---
    Sure.
[03:05] ---
    Sorry, did I keep you waiting?
[03:06] ---
    Yeah, I was waiting. You're too slow!
[03:11] ---
    Man, you'd better buy me
    juice to make up for this.
[03:16] ---
    "Attendance"
[03:16] ---
    Instructor Chisa,
[03:17] ---
    was Hinata doing well?
[03:20] ---
    Hinata was...
[03:22] ---
    Y-Yeah, he was fine.
[03:25] ---
    Oh...
[03:44] ---
    Bye.
[03:46] ---
    See you later.
[03:48] ---
    Okay, see you tomorrow.
[03:59] ---
    I said "tomorrow."
[04:12] ---
    Peko, get that for me.
[04:14] ---
    Right.
[04:15] ---
    What should I do with this?
[04:17] ---
    Oh, that's Komaeda's stuff.
[04:20] ---
    Ask Nanami about it later.
[04:23] ---
    Understood.
[04:24] ---
    Then, what about this?
[04:26] ---
    Ugh, that's enough.
[04:27] ---
    Peko, you keep carrying my stuff,
[04:30] ---
    but you haven't taken care of any of yours.
[04:32] ---
    You mustn't do that.
[04:34] ---
    Those are my things...
[04:35] ---
    Shut up.
[04:36] ---
    This is weird! Something's weird!
[04:39] ---
    When did you two get so close?!
[04:43] ---
    I think it's lovely that they're so close.
[04:47] ---
    No, w-we aren't...
[04:49] ---
    It was just coincidence. Coincidence!
[04:51] ---
    Huh? But you were like
    a mature, older couple.
[04:55] ---
    Mature.
[04:56] ---
    An age where we have ripened.
[04:58] ---
    I like it. It's truly--
[05:00] ---
    Whoops, my foot slipped!
[05:00] ---
    "Everywhere is a Battlefield"
[05:02] ---
    Hey, is this trash?
[05:05] ---
    Y-You cur!
[05:06] ---
    That is a holy offering, to summon
    the fallen angel Satanael!
[05:11] ---
    Take your impure hands from it.
[05:13] ---
    Lest a terrible calamity should befall you!
[05:16] ---
    A calamity?
[05:18] ---
    Are you stupid?
[05:19] ---
    How could this puny thing, weaker than
    a plastic bag, do anything to me?
[05:25] ---
    I did warn her of the coming calamity.
[05:28] ---
    There, there.
[05:30] ---
    Come to think of it,
[05:31] ---
    where has Instructor Yukizome gone?
[05:34] ---
    She is in the faculty office,
    getting ready to move, too.
[05:37] ---
    She may not be able to make it today, I hear.
[05:40] ---
    Here you go, a trustee's ID card.
[05:44] ---
    Thanks.
[05:45] ---
    Listen,
[05:47] ---
    that card will be voided at
    6:00 AM, tomorrow morning.
[05:51] ---
    When that time comes, it's game over.
[05:54] ---
    It's fine. I'm aware.
[05:58] ---
    To tell you the truth, one
    of the trustees has vanished.
[06:02] ---
    Thanks to that, security is pretty tight.
[06:06] ---
    Will you still go?
[06:10] ---
    Either I use this today, or never.
[06:13] ---
    So going is the only choice.
[06:16] ---
    I'll risk my life for it.
[06:18] ---
    You're risking my life, too.
[06:20] ---
    Oh, right...
[06:22] ---
    Sorry about that, Sakakura.
[06:24] ---
    But I want to be of use to Munakata.
[06:29] ---
    I'll do it for his ideals.
[06:31] ---
    No, to be honest, I don't
    really care about that.
[06:35] ---
    Anyway, if I can help Munakata
    this way, I'm fine with it.
[06:41] ---
    You love him that much?
[06:44] ---
    Yeah!
[06:46] ---
    I could die for Munakata, I think.
[06:54] ---
    I'll entrust my life to you, as well!
[06:56] ---
    Make this work.
[06:58] ---
    Sakakura...
[07:00] ---
    Thank you.
[07:16] ---
    Damn!
[07:18] ---
    There's no room for me, at all.
[07:20] ---
    But...
[07:23] ---
    ...I knew that all along.
[07:29] ---
    Okay, this is the new school building!
[07:32] ---
    Starting today, it's where you'll
    study and enjoy your youths!
[07:36] ---
    Now, let's work together again!
[07:39] ---
    I look forward to it!
[07:41] ---
    I am in your care.
[07:41] ---
    Serve me well.
[07:43] ---
    Uh, Instructor Yukizome...
[07:45] ---
    When is the idiot coming back?
[07:47] ---
    Uh...
[07:49] ---
    I've heard it should be soon...
[07:53] ---
    You must all miss him.
[07:55] ---
    Nah, not really.
[07:56] ---
    I hate that guy.
[07:58] ---
    Not at all.
[07:58] ---
    Non, non.
[08:00] ---
    D-Don't be like that!
[08:02] ---
    Komaeda is part of the class!
[08:07] ---
    "Attendance Record"
[08:08] ---
    Tomorrow, there won't be any homeroom.
[08:10] ---
    There's a ceremony in the courtyard
    for the new building's opening.
[08:13] ---
    Make sure you don't sleep in and miss it!
[08:15] ---
    Okay.
[08:26] ---
    So, how about that ceremony tomorrow?
[08:28] ---
    It's such a pain.
[08:30] ---
    They give us extra work, and we
    don't even get to enjoy the food.
[08:34] ---
    Maybe you can score some leftovers.
[08:37] ---
    Considering there's a trustee missing,
[08:39] ---
    security is awfully thin.
[08:41] ---
    I mean, it's lucky for me, but...
[08:45] ---
    ...there's something weird about it.
[08:54] ---
    This is the trustee's office.
[09:04] ---
    I'm coming in...
[09:15] ---
    If I check everything, it'll
    be morning before I finish.
[09:34] ---
    This is the trustee who went missing...
[09:49] ---
    "I'm a 43-Year-Old Trustee"
[10:11] ---
    It's ready!
[10:20] ---
    You know, about torture...
[10:22] ---
    If I do it with things familiar to
    you, doesn't it feel much scarier?
[10:27] ---
    The tools you think nothing
    of using in your daily life.
[10:30] ---
    If I use those to mess you
    up, it leaves real trauma.
[10:35] ---
    It's full of despair, don't you think?
[10:40] ---
    Here! Say, "Ah!"
[11:00] ---
    It's... this?
[11:03] ---
    Couldn't be...
[11:08] ---
    No way.
[11:09] ---
    "Kamukura Project Periodical Report"
[11:15] ---
    What is this?
[11:19] ---
    "A project to study and cultivate
    the Super High School-Level Hope,
[11:22] ---
    a true genius who will
    become humanity's hope.
[11:26] ---
    The subject will gain every
    known talent in this world.
[11:31] ---
    The subject's own senses, feelings,
    thoughts, and ideals will be destroyed.
[11:37] ---
    But to create the Super High School-Level
    Hope and save this world,
[11:42] ---
    that is a trivial issue."
[11:45] ---
    "The research has already
    been put into practice,
[11:47] ---
    and we have moved on to the observation
    and testing of the subject's talent."
[11:53] ---
    This is human experimentation!
[11:57] ---
    To think they were carrying out such
    a major experiment at the school...
[12:04] ---
    Izuru Kamukura...
[12:08] ---
    Izuru Kamukura!
[12:15] ---
    Hey...
[12:17] ---
    Why do you look like the job is done?
[12:20] ---
    What will you do if I get blood on my boots?
[12:23] ---
    S-Sorry, Junko.
[12:25] ---
    Jeez.
[12:27] ---
    Make sure you clean them all up later.
[12:29] ---
    Make people think they went missing
    while shirking their duties.
[12:32] ---
    B-By myself?
[12:35] ---
    Well, duh...
[12:36] ---
    Dirty work and grunt work are your jobs, Sis.
[12:40] ---
    O-Oh, okay...
[12:42] ---
    I guess you're right. Yeah.
[13:00] ---
    This is a retina scanner.
[13:03] ---
    It doesn't open with a card.
[13:06] ---
    Yeah, it's fine. We're good.
[13:08] ---
    I borrowed one from a trustee.
[13:11] ---
    I didn't do compensated
    dating for it or anything.
[13:14] ---
    Sure, I may look like this,
[13:15] ---
    but I'm not easy like that!
[13:23] ---
    This is it.
[13:44] ---
    Yikes! Kamukura, look at me!
[13:58] ---
    This is awesome!
[14:07] ---
    The Kamukura Project...
[14:09] ---
    Damn the board of trustees.
[14:11] ---
    Are they trying to create a deus ex machina?
[14:14] ---
    Deus... What?
[14:17] ---
    A clockwork god.
[14:19] ---
    Hope that will work in a
    way convenient for them.
[14:22] ---
    What do we do, Kyosuke?
[14:25] ---
    Any indication that the info has leaked?
[14:28] ---
    I think we're fine on that front.
[14:30] ---
    If the public were to learn that the
    school's been doing human experimentation,
[14:34] ---
    not even Hope's Peak High School
    could get away with it...
[14:36] ---
    The public learning of
    it wouldn't be the worst.
[14:39] ---
    Huh?
[14:39] ---
    If a monster with every Super
    High School-Level talent
[14:44] ---
    became hostile to humanity,
    what would happen?
[14:47] ---
    Or what if someone malicious used him?
[14:51] ---
    That's...
[14:53] ---
    Hope would turn to despair.
[14:56] ---
    And it would be a despair that
    could threaten the entire world.
[15:00] ---
    The entire... world?
[15:05] ---
    I'm coming over there immediately.
[15:07] ---
    Take every caution until I arrive.
[15:09] ---
    Trust no one but Sakakura,
    even if it's a student.
[15:12] ---
    From here on, I also forbid
    you to say Kamukura's name.
[15:16] ---
    Right. I understand.
[15:21] ---
    Kamukura!
[15:24] ---
    I'm a huge fan!
[15:26] ---
    Give me a huggy-huggy!
[15:32] ---
    J-Junko...
[15:34] ---
    He may be a bit dangerous.
[15:36] ---
    I know, right?
[15:37] ---
    Kamukura's dangerously awesome!
[15:40] ---
    Th-That isn't what I meant...
[15:42] ---
    You're annoying me! Shut
    up, dumb, fat, and ugly!
[15:46] ---
    Dumb, fat, and ugly? It's all there.
[15:49] ---
    Now, then...
[15:55] ---
    Kamukura, nice to meet you.
[15:58] ---
    I'm Junko Enoshima, from the 78th class!
[16:01] ---
    I've been thinking about you all this time...
[16:05] ---
    To think you're shut up in here.
[16:09] ---
    It doesn't suit you!
[16:11] ---
    I mean, for you...
[16:13] ---
    You can do anything, right?
[16:16] ---
    For instance...
[16:20] ---
    ...you could suddenly die,
    leaving everyone in despair!
[16:24] ---
    J-Junko!
[16:26] ---
    You!
[16:33] ---
    How boring.
[16:35] ---
    Your actions are completely meaningless.
[16:39] ---
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[16:41] ---
    Great! This is just great!
[16:43] ---
    My situation is awesomely full
    of despair right now, isn't it?
[16:48] ---
    But you know, Izuru Kamukura,
[16:50] ---
    I'm not the only one who needs despair.
[16:53] ---
    You do, too.
[16:55] ---
    Despair...
[16:57] ---
    No matter how I logically analyze
    it, it is not necessary.
[17:01] ---
    Logic? Ha, that's a laugh!
[17:05] ---
    Then, why am I in this position now?
[17:08] ---
    Can you explain that with your logic?
[17:12] ---
    Junko Enoshima,
[17:14] ---
    you have super analytic abilities, which
    allow you to see many steps in advance.
[17:19] ---
    So why did you do this,
    knowing you couldn't win?
[17:24] ---
    Oh, so you don't know?
[17:27] ---
    You ought to have super analytic
    abilities yourself, though...
[17:34] ---
    See?
[17:35] ---
    Despair is an unknown.
[17:38] ---
    Because of my super analytic ability,
[17:41] ---
    I was thoroughly bored with this world.
[17:44] ---
    The "hope" everyone longs for
    is just a preexisting harmony.
[17:49] ---
    But despair was the one
    thing that was different.
[17:53] ---
    The heart-racing excitement of messy despair
[17:57] ---
    has a taste like you've never known!
[17:59] ---
    Despair is the one thing that
    brings chaos to this world.
[18:03] ---
    Just like a single bullet
    setting off a world war,
[18:07] ---
    despair has the power to
    throw this world into chaos!
[18:11] ---
    Look at me now! I'm having so much fun!
[18:16] ---
    Even now, I'm filled with
    despair and excitement!
[18:21] ---
    Can you understand me?
[18:28] ---
    Izuru Kamukura, you may be this world's hope.
[18:31] ---
    You may save the world.
[18:34] ---
    But you know, hope won't lead to the unknown.
[18:40] ---
    And so, you won't find salvation.
[18:45] ---
    Hey...
[18:46] ---
    Isn't this world of
    preexisting harmony boring?
[18:50] ---
    Then, come to me, Kamukura.
[18:56] ---
    They know we're here.
[18:57] ---
    Junko, we need to hurry and escape!
[19:00] ---
    You, who has it all
[19:02] ---
    and has grown bored of it, Izuru Kamukura...
[19:04] ---
    Only despair can save you!
[19:08] ---
    Only I can!
[19:09] ---
    This is a despairfully fateful encounter!
[19:19] ---
    Hey, Mitarai.
[19:21] ---
    Hey, wake up.
[19:30] ---
    Sorry.
[19:32] ---
    Is the anime still not finished?
[19:35] ---
    No.
[19:36] ---
    But I've finally hit the experimental stage.
[19:40] ---
    Experimental?
[19:42] ---
    Once I have something
    concrete, I'll tell you.
[19:44] ---
    Still, don't you think I can
    stop going to the hospital?
[19:48] ---
    No, you can't.
[19:49] ---
    You have to go until the
    doctor says otherwise.
[19:52] ---
    Didn't Tsumiki tell you that, too?
[19:56] ---
    Fine...
[20:10] ---
    Th-Thank goodness...
[20:15] ---
    This is the school hospital.
[20:18] ---
    When they asked about your injuries,
[20:20] ---
    I told them you tripped in your heels
    and took a tumble down the stairs.
[20:25] ---
    What happened to him?
[20:31] ---
    Junko!
[20:38] ---
    When she wakes, I want you
    to tell her something.
[20:43] ---
    That I will be waiting.
[20:47] ---
    It seems he hasn't told the school about us,
[20:52] ---
    since we came to the
    hospital without trouble.
[20:54] ---
    Oh, gosh!
[20:56] ---
    If he's waiting, I'd better
    go pick him up fast!
[20:59] ---
    I don't really like that guy.
[21:03] ---
    Huh?
[21:04] ---
    I didn't ask for the opinion of a
    flat-chested pervert whose only talent is killing people.
[21:09] ---
    N-No, I didn't mean it like that.
[21:13] ---
    You can't do that, Junko!
[21:14] ---
    You should rest a little longer!
[21:17] ---
    I'm fine.
[21:19] ---
    I haven't taken a thrashing
    like that in ages.
[21:21] ---
    The despair actually has me
    in top spirits, you know!
[21:24] ---
    H-Hold on!
[21:52] ---
    Wh-What?
[21:57] ---
    Who are you?
[22:00] ---
    Ryota Mitarai.
[22:03] ---
    Uh...
[22:07] ---
    Junko!
[22:07] ---
    Wait, what are you doing?
[22:09] ---
    I don't know.
[22:11] ---
    I don't know, but...
[22:15] ---
    ...this is what I'm telling myself:
[22:21] ---
    This is yet another...
[22:24] ---
    "A Despairfully Fateful Encounter"
[22:24] ---
    ...fateful encounter!
[22:28] ---
