All people feel weight of emotions on their backs. Fear, Joy, Anger, Depression, all very powerful and Life Changing emotions. None, though, are more influential than the twin emotions of light and darkness itself, Hope and Despair.

Hope is something you give, what is felt even in dark times of suffering and looking to the future to rebuild. And Despair is the opposite. It pulses through your soul, corrupting, changing you. Its the feeling when you realize that you have nothing left to do or nowhere to go.

But what would happen if that feeling was part of you? Weaponized, turned you into something other than yourself?

The answer resides in the class of 77-B of Hopes Peak Academy.

Hopes Peak is more than just a school. It brings together the ones that people call "ultimates". Ultimates are those few people that have large amounts of talent and hope. It was a beacon of hope...before the Tragedy. The Reserve Corp rebellion ruined Hopes Peak's name forever. Many people died due to it. It was after that, the remaining faculty of Hope's Peak decided to convert it into a shelter for the 78th class that remained. The only class listed.

The 77th, they were reported dead, but it wasn't true. It was a lie created so they could slip away undetected and spread despair. All the motive behind one girl. Junko Enoshima, the Ultimate Despair. She subjected the 77th to a hypnotic process that made them fall into despair. One so horrible that they became actual despairs themselves. They were called the Remnants of Despair.

Across the world, these remnats terrorized and turned the world into a destructive world. No amounts of hope were felt. Those who tried to fight back were ones who came from the revived death trap Junko left with her robotic bear, Monokuma.

But no one knows if the process can even be reversed. Well, thats what theyre about to find out.
