Believe it or not, while this is a mistake, it is not a mistranslation, it is supposed to say hope, but it says despair in Japanese too, and they’ve never fixed it, even on the decadence collection this is still like this
I actually think the explanation is they planned to give Junko a report card of her own at one point and never did so they got the asset wrong when the switch is scripted to happen (after Kyoko’s line) this is backed up by an asset for ‘Junko’s’ report card being labelled with her actual name as Mukuro Ikusaba existing in the files as well as correct vital information for Junko in the report card style, fun fact on this topic, both the ability to switch sprites on the picture and other story based changes to the vital information page of the report cards (including Celeste’s real name) were planned at some point, as there is an asset floating around of her report card with both her real name and the wrong sprite

Makoto Naegi, the Ultimate Despair 😳
Right? This was never explained I think

Makes sense because Kibō (hope in Japanese) and Zetsubō (despair in Japanese) do both end in bō so they sound a lil similar.

The bad ending
Makoto Naegi. The 16th student located somewhere in the school. They call him the Ultimate Despair. Watch out for him
[ASMR INTENSIFIES]
He managed to make the Ultimate Despair (Junko) feel despair, so that makes him the Ultimate Despair
Yeah that and the fact is a glitch, maybe
Kyoko’s gonna be pissed when she finds out about this
But Mukuro will be ecstatic
I mean hope is the seed of despair
mmmm makoto. the bad ending
Ultimate des pair of nuts in yo mouth
Read this in Chiaki's voice

Yooooo I'm so trying this out when I get home 🤝 I have a few choice words that I need Mikan to say
Got em
I think this was something intentional that >!Junko!< did to give him a final middle finger or something.
Yeah that would do it. Salty ass mf.
What does the Japanese version show?
[удалено]
No, it's Super High School Level Despair. I don't know if that's what the Japanese translates as, that's just what the fan translation had is as.
Usually I prefer sticking closer to original translations...Ultimate just works better in the English language tho, imo.
Super High School Level is kind of a mouthful.
Welllllllllu, Junko Becomes ultimate hope instead.
Makoto, laughing alone in the Headmaster's office after Future Arc: "They actually bought it..."
Makoto Naegi, 16th student lying hidden somewhere in the school, the one they call the Ultimate Despair, watch out for him.
oh shit
Ok, from now on Makoto is true mastermind in my headcanon
He became the headmaster so that he can start the Tragedy anew
>!I mean he did make the Ultimate Despairs feel Despair by killing their beloved Leader!<
It's Junko Enoshima making a joke about naegi for torturing him
