[00:13] ---
    Excuse me.
[00:17] ---
    Yukizome?
[00:19] ---
    What is it?
[00:22] ---
    What's that?
[00:24] ---
    The video that caused the Biggest, Most Atrocious
    Despair-Inducing Incident in Human History.
[00:30] ---
    Brainwashing, huh?
[00:33] ---
    The technology itself was created by
    Ryota Mitarai, one of my students.
[00:38] ---
    If we can find him,
[00:40] ---
    it might give us a powerful weapon
    against the Despairs.
[00:44] ---
    Did you see the video?
[00:48] ---
    No.
[00:54] ---
    Very well.
[00:56] ---
    Understood.
[00:57] ---
    I'll take this.
[00:59] ---
    There's one more thing.
[01:01] ---
    This is the video that was used to make the
    Reserve Course students commit suicide.
[01:41] ---
    You have a message from Tengan
[01:43] ---
    Tengan?
[01:45] ---
    Why is a dead man contacting you?
[01:47] ---
    You have a message from Tengan
[01:51] ---
    A video file?
[01:53] ---
    Hello, Mitarai.
[01:56] ---
    If you are seeing this video, it's too late.
[02:01] ---
    A young man like you may not understand.
[02:05] ---
    But to an old man, with little
    time on this Earth left,
[02:08] ---
    hope means having young people
    with whom you can entrust the future.
[02:15] ---
    I spent my whole life at Hope's Peak High School.
[02:19] ---
    Its students were my hope.
[02:23] ---
    They grew up wonderfully,
[02:26] ---
    and they became the Future Foundation's leaders.
[02:30] ---
    If they, the men and women who
    were to carry humanity's hope,
[02:36] ---
    were to lie, betray, and kill each other...
[02:41] ---
    Nothing else could cause such despair.
[02:45] ---
    When I thought of everyone shedding blood
    and tears, faces twisted in despair,
[02:51] ---
    it made me so sad, so sad, so sad...
[02:57] ---
    And at last, I did it!
[03:03] ---
    View Again?
[03:13] ---
    Tengan was really part of
    the Remnants of Despair?
[03:21] ---
    B-But we got rid of the bangles,
    and the game's over, right?
[03:26] ---
    We don't have to kill each other, do we?
[03:29] ---
    Let's just look for the exit.
[03:31] ---
    Back then...
[03:33] ---
    ...I ran.
[03:36] ---
    I fell into despair.
[03:38] ---
    I didn't fight.
[03:40] ---
    And because of that...
[03:43] ---
    Mitarai?
[03:47] ---
    This time, I won't run.
[03:56] ---
    I won't let it happen again!
[04:02] ---
    I'll tell you everything.
[04:05] ---
    I always loved anime.
[04:08] ---
    I wanted to make an anime that would
    bring hope to people's hearts.
[04:14] ---
    But...
[04:16] ---
    I met Junko Enoshima
    at Hope's Peak High School.
[04:20] ---
    She used my talent to make a video of despair
    that could drive people insane.
[04:29] ---
    A video of despair?
[04:32] ---
    If you watch it, your mind starts to work
    the same way as Junko Enoshima's.
[04:37] ---
    You crave despair.
[04:40] ---
    I'm sure the people Naegi protected saw it, too.
[04:46] ---
    Everything was my fault from the start.
[04:50] ---
    But, until now, I was too scared to talk about it!
[04:55] ---
    I think the video shown on the monitors
    was made by Junko Enoshima,
[05:00] ---
    using my technology.
[05:05] ---
    Tengan probably took the suicide video
    from the Remnants of Despair,
[05:11] ---
    and set it to play on the monitors,
    to destroy the Future Foundation.
[05:16] ---
    But why would the Future Foundation's
    leader fall into despair?
[05:20] ---
    It isn't his fault.
[05:23] ---
    He was a victim of Junko Enoshima, too.
[05:27] ---
    I'm sure he saw the despair video.
[05:32] ---
    So I've decided... that I'm putting an end to this.
[05:41] ---
    I'll play this video of hope for the world.
[05:41] ---
    Future
[05:46] ---
    Video of hope?
[05:49] ---
    My anime is what caused
    many people to fall into despair.
[05:55] ---
    It was so scary, so painful.
[05:59] ---
    But anime was the one thing
    I could never give up.
[06:05] ---
    My video of hope can fill
    the whole world with hope.
[06:10] ---
    I can do the opposite of what
    Junko Enoshima did to the 77th class!
[06:14] ---
    The opposite of what Enoshima did?
[06:16] ---
    You mean you'll change people's hearts...
[06:20] ---
    I know.
[06:22] ---
    I agonized about it for a long time.
[06:24] ---
    But...
[06:27] ---
    We're weak creatures.
[06:30] ---
    Every day, we encounter tiny bits of despair.
[06:32] ---
    They stay with us.
[06:34] ---
    Until one day, we can't even stand.
[06:37] ---
    People can't beat despair.
[06:40] ---
    They can't...
[06:42] ---
    We can!
[06:43] ---
    If we work together, we can overcome despair!
[06:49] ---
    We can't!
[06:52] ---
    We can't... That's why the world is this way.
[06:56] ---
    Not everyone is strong like you!
[06:59] ---
    But even so...
[07:02] ---
    We can't be like you!
[07:07] ---
    Wait a second...
[07:10] ---
    Let's... Let's just think about this, okay?
[07:16] ---
    I'm sorry, Asahina.
[07:24] ---
    Stop Makoto Naegi.
[07:28] ---
    Mitarai, what did you do to Asahina?
[07:32] ---
    What's wrong, Asahina?
[07:33] ---
    A brainwashing video.
[07:35] ---
    S-Stop it.
[07:36] ---
    This is another of my talents.
[07:39] ---
    My forbidden action doesn't matter now.
[07:42] ---
    Using Your Talent
[07:47] ---
    Wait, Mitarai!
[07:49] ---
    Mitarai!
[07:52] ---
    I don't want to have any more regrets!
[08:25] ---
    Clear!
[08:29] ---
    Clear!
[08:30] ---
    Clear!
[08:32] ---
    Halt!
[08:35] ---
    What are you doing there?
[08:39] ---
    Mitarai, from Branch 10, right?
[08:41] ---
    You're safe?
[08:43] ---
    Thanks for saving me.
[08:45] ---
    What happened here?
[08:47] ---
    Where are the other directors?
[08:49] ---
    Please look at this.
[08:55] ---
    Please broadcast this to all forces.
[08:58] ---
    And if someone tries to interfere with me,
[09:01] ---
    do whatever it takes.
[09:05] ---
    Eliminate them.
[09:07] ---
    For the hope of this world!
[09:13] ---
    Despair is something that exists
    within the human heart.
[09:16] ---
    You can't get rid of it,
[09:18] ---
    so I'll change the very heart itself.
[09:23] ---
    Envy, jealousy, hatred, sadness, rage...
[09:27] ---
    I will eliminate every negative
    emotion that there is.
[09:32] ---
    As long as despair exists,
    humans will repeat this tragedy.
[09:38] ---
    I will...
[09:40] ---
    ...put an end to it.
[09:45] ---
    Hey, what's gotten into you?
[09:47] ---
    Let go of me, Asahina...
[09:49] ---
    Asahina!
[09:55] ---
    Great! Everyone...
[09:59] ---
    Asahina, run!
[10:07] ---
    What is going on here?
[10:13] ---
    A video of hope that will
    brainwash the entire world?
[10:19] ---
    Munakata, please help me stop Mitarai!
[10:25] ---
    It's ironic.
[10:28] ---
    Tengan was a Remnant of Despair,
[10:30] ---
    but he'll be the cause of the world
    being brainwashed with hope.
[10:37] ---
    Wait.
[10:38] ---
    Maybe Tengan wasn't one of
    the Remnants of Despair.
[10:45] ---
    Maybe Tengan's goal was to make
    Mitarai use the video of hope?
[10:53] ---
    I thought his goal was to broadcast
    the killings here to the world,
[10:58] ---
    filling it all with despair.
[11:01] ---
    No, the killings weren't being broadcast.
[11:09] ---
    That's it...
[11:11] ---
    Tengan set up the whole thing,
    just to push Mitarai to the brink.
[11:17] ---
    That's why he was surprised.
[11:20] ---
    I'm sorry, Chairman.
[11:24] ---
    Um, I'm late.
[11:29] ---
    Mitarai, you're here?
[11:32] ---
    Mitarai probably wasn't invited to the meeting.
[11:35] ---
    Or to the mutual killing game.
[11:38] ---
    All Mitarai needed to do was learn that
[11:41] ---
    the Future Foundation's leaders
    were killing each other.
[11:45] ---
    Then, all he had to do was
    steal the video from Mitarai.
[11:50] ---
    It isn't just the video of hope.
[11:53] ---
    I'm sure he entrusted his hopes
    to Mitarai himself.
[11:57] ---
    I entrust the hope of the world to you.
[11:58] ---
    That was a message to Mitarai.
[12:03] ---
    From the beginning, everything
    was set up to bring hope!
[12:12] ---
    And it is going to result in
    all of humanity's brainwashing...
[12:19] ---
    He'll completely eliminate despair
    from the human heart?
[12:23] ---
    Brainwashed people, with sadness
    and pain stolen from them...
[12:29] ---
    Can they even be called human?
[12:33] ---
    Munakata, is there a large-scale
    broadcasting device in this facility?
[12:39] ---
    There's equipment in the annex capable
    of broadcasting to the world.
[12:45] ---
    They're coming.
[13:04] ---
    We should assume all of them are brainwashed.
[13:07] ---
    All?
[13:08] ---
    But we have to get through here.
[13:24] ---
    Let's go.
[13:24] ---
    Huh? Right!
[13:33] ---
    Just a little more.
[14:01] ---
    I should have never left your side...
[14:07] ---
    Chisa.
[14:30] ---
    Chisa, I'm sorry.
[14:43] ---
    Asahina!
[14:52] ---
    Just a little more...
[14:57] ---
    Just a little more.
[15:08] ---
    Hey.
[15:09] ---
    You shouldn't talk.
[15:12] ---
    Go.
[15:14] ---
    You're going to stop Mitarai, aren't you?
[15:17] ---
    Don't worry.
[15:19] ---
    I'll be waiting here.
[15:24] ---
    I'll be fine!
[15:30] ---
    Got it.
[15:32] ---
    I'll stop Mitarai and return with help!
[15:37] ---
    Okay.
[15:48] ---
    I won't give up...
[15:50] ---
    This is almost over!
[15:53] ---
    And I won't give up!
[16:11] ---
    I won't give up anymore.
[16:14] ---
    For a tomorrow, without despair...
[16:22] ---
    ...I won't run anymore.
[16:26] ---
    I'll rid this world of despair!
[16:41] ---
    Just a little more...
[16:44] ---
    Once this countdown reaches zero,
[16:47] ---
    the world will be filled with hope.
[16:50] ---
    When that happens...
[16:53] ---
    ...no one will suffer anymore.
[16:57] ---
    No one will be sad anymore.
[17:04] ---
    No one will betray others anymore.
[17:10] ---
    There will be no conflict.
[17:13] ---
    No pain.
[17:22] ---
    A peaceful world, without war...
[17:33] ---
    A world filled with hope will be ours.
[17:36] ---
    
[17:49] ---
    I'm Chisa Yukizome.
[17:51] ---
    The former Super High School-Level Housekeeper.
[17:54] ---
    My talents have led me to see
    many decisive moments.
[18:01] ---
    So, now it's time for
    "What the Housekeeper Saw!"
[18:11] ---
    Here's our mastermind this time,
[18:14] ---
    Future Foundation Chairman Kazuo Tengan!
[18:18] ---
    The Future Foundation's two leaders,
    Tengan and Munakata,
[18:23] ---
    were friends at first, you see.
[18:25] ---
    But when Munakata said,
    "I shall destroy despair,"
[18:30] ---
    Tengan said, "Conflict
    creates despair," or something.
[18:34] ---
    And they had a falling out.
[18:36] ---
    Well, the real cause of the falling out was that
    Instructor Yukizome said to Munakata,
[18:41] ---
    "Eliminate despair."
[18:42] ---
    Or something like that!
[18:46] ---
    I guess it isn't your fault.
[18:48] ---
    You've been on despair's side for a long time.
[18:53] ---
    So the real cause of this
    whole killing game was Tengan trying
[18:58] ---
    to make Mitarai use the video of hope.
[19:01] ---
    Well, he had this whole "I'll let Mitarai decide
    whether to use the video" thing going on.
[19:08] ---
    But with all the stuff he's gone through,
    anyone would choose to use it!
[19:12] ---
    First Izuru Kamukura, and then a video?
[19:15] ---
    These people never learn, do they?
[19:18] ---
    Crap, running out of air time...
[19:19] ---
    Fast forwarding!
[19:21] ---
    Meanwhile, Naegi put the 77th class,
    who had turned to despair, into a virtual reality,
[19:27] ---
    and tried to return them to how
    they'd been before infection.
[19:30] ---
    Wait, isn't that basically brainwashing, too?
[19:35] ---
    This was found out,
[19:36] ---
    and Naegi was summoned to the Future
    Foundation before he'd learned the results.
[19:40] ---
    That was actually Tengan's trap, you see.
[19:45] ---
    These people haven't noticed,
    but this is totally over, right?
[19:50] ---
    I mean, even if they stop Mitarai,
[19:53] ---
    their leader was the mastermind
    who made them kill each other.
[19:56] ---
    No one's gonna follow an organization like this.
[20:00] ---
    In the end, Yukizome turned
    her students to despair,
[20:04] ---
    made her lover and her boss go mad,
[20:07] ---
    and destroyed the Future Foundation!
[20:10] ---
    And finally, she killed herself in front of
    her beloved Munakata, just to make sure.
[20:17] ---
    Nice work! Great despair!
[20:21] ---
    Thus, hope was lost.
[20:24] ---
    Their wish to seek out hope created despair.
[20:27] ---
    Their prayers went unheard.
[20:29] ---
    Love was betrayed.
[20:31] ---
    And everything fell into darkness.
[20:36] ---
    So, our future is over now.
[20:41] ---
    What? Everything is already over?
[20:45] ---
    Nope.
[20:49] ---
    This is where our hope starts.
[20:54] ---
    Well, I don't care.
[20:57] ---
    We're already dead!
[22:38] ---
    What are you doing to Naegins?!
[22:43] ---
    Hagakure?
[22:44] ---
    W-Wait...
[22:46] ---
    W-We surrender. We surrender!
[22:52] ---
    What are you doing there?
[22:59] ---
    You...
[23:01] ---
    At whom do you think you're pointing a gun?!
[23:13] ---
    Togami!
[23:16] ---
    You're all beat-up.
[23:18] ---
    Are you sure you're really lucky?
[23:21] ---
