Junko Exposing The Existence Of Izuru Kamukura Is So Fire Like She Really Did That Props To Her For Exposing

Get ready for a heart attack!!!

I would like to hear the essay about how hope peak is bad!

In order to understand why Hope's Peak is intrinsically bad, you have to look at the reason it was founded first off. Not for the betterment of talented students, but for researching them for the Kamukura Project which can basically be summed up as, to quote @prompt-master, who helped me with this, "unethical hidden experimentation of a minor with the interest of erasing his identity and turning him into a human tool." Pretty fucked up, enough to make the statement that Hope's Peak irreparably sucks on its own. But that's just the tip of the iceberg.

We also see in DR3, SDR2, and in THH that Hope's Peak actively covers up murders for its students. This includes both Syo and the whole situation with the Twilight Syndrome Murder Case in DR3 and SDR2, wherein quite a few murders were just...brushed under the rug by HPA. (There's also the student council KG, but IIRC they never figured out who did it.

Also, there's all the failed Kamakura Project test subjects. All in all, there's quite a few deaths that Hope's Peak has under its belt.

We haven't even mentioned the psychological effects of HPA yet, especially on the world around them.

First up, the normal complex. to quote Prom once more, “the normal complex is a term...to explain the phenomenon of how EVERY SINGLE nontalented character in the series shows some form of low self esteem regarding how normal they are. Hinata, Naegi, and Komaru are the biggest examples of this. It doesnt matter how special they are, they will always see themselves as normal and lesser because they were raised on the belief that talent=worth”. In a society where Hope’s Peak exists, this is just...how things are.

There’s also the exploitation of the Reserve Course students. Yes, Komaeda’s view of them might be an extreme example, but it’s very indicative of the climate towards them--someone in the reserve course will never be a talented student, no matter how hard they try. However, they can still graduate from HPA, which is still an honor--so people keep funnelling INSANE amounts of money into the program. And then they can use the reserve course students as guinea pigs--because who cares if someone untalented goes missing?

And they don’t even TEACH there. In DR3 it shows how the only real requirement is that they prove their talent at the end of the year. In fact, quite a few students just skip most of their classes. 

Also there’s the fact that Kirigiri is the daughter of the principal and it’s HER class that was given shelter. That’s like, nothing compared to everything else in here, but it’s still incredibly suspicious just knowing about Hope’s Peak in general.

Tl;dr: From its inception, Hope’s Peak Academy was not meant to help its students, only to conduct unethical research on them and exploit those it deems “untalented” to further said research. This is only, like, ONE reason it’s super fucked up.

Concept:

My favourite flavour of mastermind Makoto Naegi is him being the one behind the 2nd killing game.

That he leaves Hopes Peak carrying the hopes and dreams of all his fallen friends. Learning of the horrors of the outside world.

And in the midst of all that he’s made aware that Junko’s minions are still around.

It hits him that everyone he’s fought for. Everyone he’s lost. Everyone he’s saved. They will never know peace as long as her people are still here.

But in this it’s the Future Foundation who want to rehabilitate the Remnants.

They’ve all seen the events of the killing game, seen his Makoto bought hope to the hopeless. And decide that maybe the Remnants can also be saved.

Makoto disagrees.

And you know maybe he’s just a little bit mad. Maybe he’s angry and afraid and grieving. Why do they get a happy ending?! Why do they get peace?!

They killed my friends. They killed my family. They imprisoned my sister. They tried to kill me.

And I’m going to make them pay.

Makoto steals the Neo World Programme from the Future Foundation. He traps everyone of them inside and forces them to undergo the horrors he did.

Erasing their memories to give them that illusion of hope just so he can drag them into despair when when see what they’ve become.

No matter how much he makes them hurt. It will never bring his friends back. But he hopes that it grants them peace.

There was never a person named Tsumugi Shirogane.

Following the successful implementation of the Neo World Program against the Remnants of Despair, Future Foundation learned all of the wrong lessons. They tasked Alter Ego with incorporating Killing Game simulations into the Neo World rehabilitation protocols.

It was decided that Ryota Mitarai's ideas were valid, he simply went too far in attempting to brainwash the world. Not mind control, but a global broadcast to remind everyone around the world of Hope's supremacy? Future Foundation felt that would be a good antidote to the Despair that had reigned unchecked after the Tragedy.

So began the age of Ultimate Hope. Each year, fifteen students infested by despair would be selected and entered into the Neo World Program. Alter Ego would concoct a fictional scenario for them to undergo, appropriating the imagery of Monokuma and Junko Enoshima. Corrupting them as they once corrupted the Neo World Program.

All under the guidance of a subordinate program to Alter Ego, taking the role of Chiaki Nanami for each season; Someone who would monitor the students from within, report back to Alter Ego, and keep the game moving. Sometimes male, sometimes female, blonde, brunette, tall, short. A new name and new identity, a different guise for each new season that could be changed as easily as flicking a switch.

The events within the program would then be broadcast globally, so all the world could watch with bated breath as Hope triumphs over Despair again and again and again. Season after season, year after year, students living out a twisted mockery of Junko's games as a perpetual reminder of Despair's futility.

With little regard for the long-term effects that being used like this would have on the selected children's psyches. Traumatizing vulnerable children for someone's idea of the greater good.

The Remnants having gaps in their memories yes, so do the survivors.

Infact the only one with intact memories is Komaru (and Sho but given the game they have gaps).

She is the only one who retains her memories of the past years.

And she's also had to witness both games as they were televised.

She's always overthinking her words and afraid she's going to accidentally trigger someone.

During her time in captivity, Komaru wrote a diary of both her daily life and everything she saw.

She's never been both greatful and disgusted before.

On countless occasions she's considered burning it because the information is too personal. It's not something she should even have nevermind witnessed, but she can't...

Komaru has had the Warriors of Hope, because they remember as well, promise that they won't bring up the games or anything that happened during the last few years.

When you see the Remnants, pretend its the first time you're meeting them.

They promise before hugging her because they can see their big sis is so afraid, and Komaru hugs them back.

They've all grown up, somewhere along the line she grew up too.

She refuses to forget what she saw.

Nor will she ever voice it.

Her big brother almost died... Multiple times, Komaru would fight every monobot on earth single-handedly if it meant keeping Makoto safe.

She can't protect him forever, she hasn't been able to protect him for a long time.

But this is all she can do.

Komaru bared witness to the worst event humanity has ever known, and she can't look away.

A day will come when they ask her, and she'll have to respond. She can't lie hide it from them forever.

But whenever she sees the smiles of the Remnants, when Toko and Makoto are at ease, she wishes she could.

Yoooo can I get uhhhh unnecessary crossover? Been listening to the Adventure Time soundtrack in the height on my My Hero Academia craze.

Anyways Finn’s quirk means that he is Deeply Irresponsible About Personal Safety. He’s still an excellent fighter and has a wonderful hero heart and boy does he go through arms. PB is his support technician largely because she likes him enough to squeeze it in between her other projects. Marceline has a wicked strong quirk but mainly is interested in her band and her girlfriend. Jake struggles with the desire to be a hero and the desire to do petty crimes.

I got a whole au cookin but like that’s just who I am folks 💪🏻

I wanna let this out. Have you ever thought that the sdr2 characters just gave up their dreams after the shit they did when they were brainwashed (despite not remembering it)

Kazuichi gave up his love for machines and fixing them after hearing the horrible shit he did

*inserts ending theme of digital circus*

OOOO THIS IS AN INTERESTING THOUGHT!!! A concept worth to think about! But there are some where doing the things as their talent came off as a coping mechanism, just imagine how just simply doing the things they aspire or what comes off as stress-relieving to them became a trigger. Its a very deep in thought what-ifs, but I do believe this is the case logically enough in post-NWP. Though there are few that could and couldn't give up on their talents merely because...

Someone like Teruteru, Kazuichi, Akane, Tanaka, Nekomaru, Ibuki, and Mahiru are all purely because the talent they have are simply much of a hobby, something they find love, comfort, and inspirational, or motivation to move forward.

Ones like Sonia, Fuyuhiko, Hiyoko, and Nagito are all born or was already given a chance to the talent itself, where their fate has been placed down since the beggining (does not end well).

And people like Mikan, The impostor, or Peko were ones being put in bad situation thus grew a talent they view in a way that was a bit unhealthy (this could apply to Nagito as well)

Every people has a different thoughts on this ofc, I'd love to write out mine but I simply just doesn't have enough time to write out all of them. Ty for sharing your thoughts!!

a moment of peace, after the end

The killing game was televised.

Can you imagine being a survivor involved with the Kamakura project.

Seeing Makoto.

Who is exactly what the project wanted to create.

The Ultimate Hope.

An "average" talentless boy possessing the ability to bring people up in a way no one has ever seen before.

Junko knew about the Kamakura project.

And I bet she was smiling to herself because those who worked on the project were killed.

If not killed barely surviving and in danger at every turn.

Lest their monster comes for them.

And seeing that they not only failed but their solution was right their in the year below.

Someone they never considered because he was talentless and pathetic, the irony.

Is everything they wanted to create and they can't control him.
