[00:03] ---
    The school's overseas expansion is canceled?
[00:06] ---
    Yes, that is the decision
    of the board of directors.
[00:09] ---
    But I have received no explanation.
[00:11] ---
    There is nothing more you can say...
[00:17] ---
    "Call Ended"
[00:18] ---
    Does the enemy control even
    the board of directors?
[00:31] ---
    How did the investigation go?
[00:40] ---
    What?
[00:42] ---
    Sorry, it's nothing.
[00:47] ---
    Junko Enoshima is innocent.
[00:53] ---
    You're certain?
[00:54] ---
    Yeah, no doubt about it.
[00:57] ---
    There wasn't anything but
    circumstantial evidence.
[00:59] ---
    No concrete evidence whatsoever.
[01:01] ---
    She has an alibi, too.
[01:03] ---
    Still, she is the most likely culprit.
[01:09] ---
    Do you doubt my investigation?
[01:15] ---
    Fair enough...
[01:16] ---
    If you say so, it must be right.
[01:20] ---
    Yeah, Junko Enoshima is innocent.
[01:27] ---
    Damn it!
[01:30] ---
    Damn it! Damn it!
[01:32] ---
    Damn it!
[01:34] ---
    I... am going to kill her!
[01:39] ---
    Absolutely!
[01:45] ---
    If Junko Enoshima is innocent...
[01:51] ---
    Yukizome?
[01:52] ---
    Kyosuke!
[01:55] ---
    I can see you, at last!
[01:57] ---
    I've wanted to see you.
[01:59] ---
    Oh, how I've wanted to!
[02:01] ---
    Sorry it took so long.
[02:03] ---
    I thought I'd never see you again...
[02:08] ---
    You're exaggerating.
[02:10] ---
    Yukizome, can I ask you something?
[02:16] ---
    It's about Junko Enoshima.
[02:19] ---
    According to Sakakura, she's innocent.
[02:23] ---
    But what do you think?
[02:24] ---
    Just a second...
[02:30] ---
    Yeah, I think so, too.
[02:32] ---
    She has nothing to do with it.
[02:37] ---
    What's the matter?
[02:41] ---
    Nothing. It seems I was mistaken.
[02:47] ---
    This is a tale of hope that ends in despair.
[02:54] ---
    In that sense, this story already
    approaches its conclusion.
[03:00] ---
    All that remains is for the world that
    is neither hopeful nor despairing
[03:05] ---
    to be simply stained with despair.
[03:18] ---
    Today, Hope's Peak High School is finished!
[03:24] ---
    Enjoying yourself, I see.
[03:27] ---
    Your plan comes to fruition today.
[03:31] ---
    Correct.
[03:32] ---
    And this is where it begins!
[03:36] ---
    Everything will be blown away...
[03:42] ---
    ...with our despairful despair!
[03:49] ---
    "Goodbye, Hope's Peak High School"
[03:56] ---
    We've been through a lot together.
[04:00] ---
    That I was able to be your teacher...
[04:04] ---
    ...brings me pride.
[04:07] ---
    What, are you crying?
[04:09] ---
    Hey, Soda! Have some tact!
[04:13] ---
    We're at the very end... I
    can't be acting like this.
[04:19] ---
    For today, I've written
    a letter to all of you.
[04:23] ---
    What? A letter?
[04:25] ---
    I mean, this is goodbye for us.
[04:29] ---
    I wanted to do something teacher-like
    at the end, at least...
[04:36] ---
    They will now act in the
    name of despair, I see.
[04:42] ---
    Those with the world's greatest talents,
    the Hope's Peak High School students.
[04:47] ---
    If they fall into despair,
[04:50] ---
    in short order,
[04:51] ---
    it will trigger the world
    being stained with despair.
[04:56] ---
    They have become me, but they are not me.
[05:00] ---
    They will go and infect
    the world with despair.
[05:05] ---
    Infect it?
[05:06] ---
    Huh? How do you not get it, Sis?
[05:10] ---
    Taking the perspective of the viewers?
[05:11] ---
    B-But you never told me...
[05:16] ---
    It's an air of unrest. A fun
    atmosphere, you could say...
[05:20] ---
    Like the fun atmosphere Nanami
    created for her class.
[05:26] ---
    The symbol of hope, this school,
[05:29] ---
    the atmosphere of hope
    itself in this world...
[05:33] ---
    When those change, everything will change!
[05:38] ---
    Memetic waves?
[05:40] ---
    Right.
[05:41] ---
    Fashion trends, the manga everyone reads,
[05:45] ---
    bullying in class...
[05:47] ---
    Culture, ideology, trends...
[05:50] ---
    Infectious information, memes.
[05:53] ---
    Yes!
[05:55] ---
    All those who've become your classmates
[05:58] ---
    will spread a despairful
    atmosphere throughout the world!
[06:03] ---
    The world will be stained with
    even more wonderful despair!
[06:12] ---
    Okay, I'll read it now.
[06:14] ---
    As your homeroom teacher,
[06:16] ---
    and as your upperclassman, who graduated
    from Hope's Peak before you,
[06:21] ---
    I cheer you on from the bottom of my heart.
[06:25] ---
    In your lives to come,
[06:27] ---
    I think there will be
    sad and difficult times.
[06:31] ---
    Even so,
[06:33] ---
    remember what you learned at this school.
[06:37] ---
    And spread your wings wide.
[06:42] ---
    I feel sad when I think I
    won't be seeing you anymore,
[06:46] ---
    but I'll be cheering you on
    in your future endeavors.
[06:54] ---
    Your homeroom teacher,
[06:58] ---
    Chisa Yukizome.
[07:13] ---
    Everyone...
[07:20] ---
    I am so glad I was in this class!
[07:26] ---
    I'm gonna eat until I'm full!
[07:29] ---
    I'll make this world happy with my music!
[07:32] ---
    I'll make everyone happy
    with my dancing, too.
[07:36] ---
    Leave taking beautiful pictures to me.
[07:38] ---
    I shall make a peaceful country, free of war.
[07:41] ---
    You were my true friends!
[07:44] ---
    I'll bring miracle drugs to
    hospitals around the world!
[07:49] ---
    With Peko, I'll guide my
    gang along the right path!
[07:54] ---
    I shall never kill again!
[07:56] ---
    I'll solve the issue of
    environmental pollution!
[07:59] ---
    I'll feed everyone lots of nutritious food!
[07:59] ---
    "Potato Chips"
[08:04] ---
    I can become anything.
[08:07] ---
    Even becoming president isn't just a dream!
[08:10] ---
    I'm gonna support everyone's dreams!
[08:13] ---
    No matter how great the
    despair that faces us,
[08:17] ---
    hope will always triumph in the end.
[08:20] ---
    That is why I can contentedly become despair.
[08:25] ---
    Yes... Yes...
[08:30] ---
    I understand.
[08:31] ---
    All of you will officially
    have been killed here,
[08:34] ---
    and be removed from the
    school's protection list.
[08:36] ---
    You don't have to keep
    repeating it... We know.
[08:40] ---
    If the school protected Super
    High School-Level Despairs,
[08:43] ---
    it'd look pretty bad!
[08:49] ---
    I'm sorry, I just can't get
    out of the teacher's mindset.
[08:59] ---
    So long, everyone.
[09:03] ---
    Let's meet again.
[09:12] ---
    You kept your word, I see.
[09:15] ---
    I erased their memories of you.
[09:19] ---
    Why have me do something so tedious?
[09:22] ---
    In the near future, I
    will meet them once more.
[09:27] ---
    When that time comes, if we
    already know one another,
[09:30] ---
    won't it be boring?
[09:33] ---
    That is why I intend to erase
    my memories of them, as well.
[09:38] ---
    Don't tell me...
[09:39] ---
    I want to find out...
[09:41] ---
    Hope or despair?
[09:43] ---
    Which is it that I cannot predict?
[09:48] ---
    If her feelings can defeat your
    expectations and save them,
[09:57] ---
    I may be able to say hope is
    more unpredictable than despair.
[10:05] ---
    How much screen time must
    I spend explaining this?
[10:08] ---
    Hope is harmony, despair is chaos.
[10:12] ---
    So only despair can...
[10:15] ---
    Hey!
[10:16] ---
    Don't you have anything to say?
[10:19] ---
    Like, "I've been in love since the moment
    I laid eyes on you," or something?
[10:24] ---
    May we meet again.
[10:32] ---
    Let's meet again!
[10:36] ---
    I'll be ready
[10:39] ---
    to use you anytime.
[10:41] ---
    
[10:57] ---
    Who would have thought it
    could happen so quickly?
[11:01] ---
    All but the 78th class has been wiped out.
[11:07] ---
    Are things outside the school still the same?
[11:10] ---
    Yeah, it's a disaster.
[11:13] ---
    There are an estimated 3,000 deaths,
[11:16] ---
    which includes the terrorists.
[11:18] ---
    It's all too convenient.
[11:21] ---
    Like someone is pulling the
    strings from behind the scenes.
[11:24] ---
    "Someone"?
[11:26] ---
    You aren't telling me there's a
    mastermind behind this, are you?
[11:31] ---
    Who knows?
[11:32] ---
    I'm sure it isn't anything a
    lowly man like me could discern.
[11:35] ---
    You sound like you're insinuating something.
[11:38] ---
    I'm sorry...
[11:40] ---
    I was just thinking my
    daughter probably could.
[11:43] ---
    The Super High School-Level
    Detective, Kyoko Kirigiri, huh?
[11:48] ---
    Had I turned to her for help sooner...
[11:53] ---
    You're a parent, Jin.
[11:55] ---
    I can't blame you.
[11:57] ---
    Our remaining in the school will not
    improve the situation, regardless.
[12:00] ---
    We must plan our escape.
[12:02] ---
    Yes.
[12:03] ---
    You two, do that.
[12:05] ---
    Hmm?
[12:06] ---
    I will remain here.
[12:08] ---
    I will entrust hope to
    the surviving students.
[12:11] ---
    Until this ends, we will carry out a Shelter
    Project in the old school building.
[12:15] ---
    What do the students say?
[12:17] ---
    All of them have given their consent.
[12:19] ---
    I see.
[12:21] ---
    As long as the next
    generation's hope survives,
[12:24] ---
    this world can have as many
    second chances as it needs.
[12:26] ---
    That is...
[12:27] ---
    ...the ideal Hope's Peak High
    School should have always held.
[12:33] ---
    It's ironic.
[12:35] ---
    Only when it has come to this
[12:36] ---
    do we realize something that
    should have been obvious.
[12:40] ---
    I will not stop you.
[12:42] ---
    I leave the school's
    management to its principal.
[12:46] ---
    I'm grateful for that.
[12:47] ---
    While the principal defends hope,
[12:51] ---
    I will act from outside.
[12:53] ---
    What will you do, Kizakura?
[12:56] ---
    I'll be joining you, Tengan.
[12:59] ---
    I wouldn't want to get between
    a father and his daughter.
[13:04] ---
    You're scary to the very end!
[13:08] ---
    Hey...
[13:08] ---
    Hmm?
[13:09] ---
    If anything should happen and the
    Shelter Project should fail...
[13:14] ---
    Don't sound so dispirited.
[13:17] ---
    Well, if it comes down to it,
[13:20] ---
    I'll defend Kyoko, even at
    the cost of my life, Jin.
[13:35] ---
    Well, I think they've done enough.
[13:39] ---
    "Thanks for everything."
[13:43] ---
    There.
[13:55] ---
    "Monokuma's Gloomy Sunday"
[14:30] ---
    Wh-What? What are they doing?
[14:34] ---
    A scene so full of despair...
[14:37] ---
    Trying to understand it is impossible.
[14:55] ---
    Even if they were trash,
[14:57] ---
    seeing so many die at
    once is just despairful!
[15:02] ---
    Why didn't you let them join us?
[15:05] ---
    Huh?
[15:07] ---
    Duh, because they were worthless
    scum, Dumb, Fat, and Ugly!
[15:12] ---
    Even if their brains were
    rewired to be like mine,
[15:15] ---
    their base specs were too low.
[15:18] ---
    I... I see.
[15:21] ---
    You'd better watch out, too, Sis.
[15:24] ---
    We may be blood relatives,
[15:25] ---
    but if I have to, I'll stab you in a second.
[15:29] ---
    Okay.
[15:30] ---
    Well, we'd better be off!
[15:34] ---
    Our classmates are waiting.
[15:51] ---
    Everything is going like you planned.
[15:56] ---
    Yeah, kinda.
[15:57] ---
    If I were to name one thing I've
    been able to predict so far,
[16:00] ---
    it might be him, maybe...
[16:10] ---
    Are you all right?
[16:13] ---
    What's up?
[16:14] ---
    Enoshima...
[16:16] ---
    I'm fine. I just slipped a bit!
[16:20] ---
    I see. That's good.
[16:23] ---
    It'd be bad if you got
    hurt at a time like this.
[16:27] ---
    Are you sure you're all right?
[16:29] ---
    Yeah.
[16:29] ---
    Be careful.
[16:31] ---
    If you need treatment, it
    won't be so easy to get!
[16:35] ---
    I'm fine.
[16:37] ---
    And I'm sure we only need to
    be patient for a little longer.
[16:40] ---
    Yeah.
[16:42] ---
    Makoto Naegi...
[16:44] ---
    He's in the way!
[16:47] ---
    Isn't he just a loser?
[16:49] ---
    The thing about his luck is,
[16:51] ---
    it isn't like Komaeda's.
[16:53] ---
    It comes and goes, so
    even I can't predict it.
[16:58] ---
    A-Are you gonna kill him?
[17:06] ---
    I'll pass!
[17:08] ---
    If that loser can throw my plan out of whack,
[17:11] ---
    I think that is, itself, despairful!
[17:22] ---
    Hey, guys.
[17:24] ---
    This is...
[17:26] ---
    I don't know what to say, but...
[17:31] ---
    This really is our graduation, I guess.
[17:37] ---
    Goodbye, my students.
[17:42] ---
    Yukizome!
[17:44] ---
    Kyosuke?
[17:46] ---
    Are you all right?
[17:51] ---
    My class...
[17:54] ---
    We were too late?
[17:55] ---
    I'm sorry.
[17:57] ---
    N-No, it isn't your fault, Kyosuke.
[18:01] ---
    But...
[18:04] ---
    But...
[18:12] ---
    Let's go.
[18:26] ---
    Is that all right?
[18:28] ---
    Yeah, it isn't anything important.
[18:32] ---
    "Class Rep Inauguration Party"
[18:37] ---
    "How boring."
[18:42] ---
    That's what that long-haired
    boy would say, I'm sure.
[18:49] ---
    Everything went according to the
    future Junko Enoshima had hoped for.
[18:58] ---
    My students went out to infect
    the world with despair.
[19:06] ---
    The despair they spread
    induced yet more despair.
[19:12] ---
    It wasn't long before the world
    was fully stained with despair.
[19:20] ---
    Of course, I followed the future
    she'd predicted, as well.
[19:31] ---
    How awful!
[19:33] ---
    Damn you, Despairs.
[19:36] ---
    If I had reported Enoshima,
[19:39] ---
    this never would have...
[19:42] ---
    Kyosuke!
[19:43] ---
    Let's stop the despair!
[19:45] ---
    Let's create a world without despair!
[19:48] ---
    Yeah.
[19:49] ---
    I'm sure you can do it, Kyosuke.
[19:52] ---
    I'll support you for as long as I live.
[19:57] ---
    So that you...
[20:02] ---
    ...can despair more deeply than any of us.
[20:10] ---
    Yes, this is a tale of
    hope that ends in despair.
[20:16] ---
    So, does it have a bad ending, you ask?
[20:19] ---
    Hmm...
[20:20] ---
    I wonder.
[20:22] ---
    For her and for those who worshiped her,
[20:26] ---
    I'm sure this was exactly
    the ending they wanted.
[20:29] ---
    Besides, was a happy ending even
    possible for this story, to begin with?
[20:38] ---
    "Everywhere Is a Battlefield"
[20:39] ---
    After all, if despair were to
    vanish from the entire world,
[20:46] ---
    that would pretty despairful in its own way!
[22:46] ---
    Um...
[22:50] ---
    Oh, sorry.
[22:53] ---
    I may have been a bit too focused on my game.
[22:57] ---
    I'm Chiaki Nanami.
[23:00] ---
    I'm the Super High School-Level Gamer.
[23:03] ---
    Games are my hobby.
[23:06] ---
    I'm good with any genre.
[23:08] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[23:11] ---
    I'm...
[23:15] ---
    I'm Hajime Hinata.
[23:17] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[23:18] ---
    Sure, nice to meet you.
[23:21] ---
    I want to find out...
[23:23] ---
    Hope or despair?
[23:25] ---
    Which is it that I cannot predict?
[23:30] ---
