**[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] ---**
