The dialogue was weird when the class were Ultimate Despair, especially when Sonia talked about bringing her country peace and Peko said they won't kill anymore. Granted, these are the fan subs since Funimation keeps dragging their feet on releasing the episodes. I think theyre showing us that this is what the Ultimate Despairs think they're doing, when in actuality, they're plunging the world into despair and chaos. It's a very warped mentality. For example, Mikan said that she's going to send wonderful medicine to the hospitals of the world, when in actuality, she's most likely killing them.

It was a good episode, I agree. I wasnt expecting any big twists - the most exceptional thing was the fact that they showed us a bit of SDR2 animated at the end. So, I'm wondering if Chiaki will come back in Hope Side or something. I know Izuru will make his decision soon.

It did what it needed to do - end the story properly, and showed us what the Remnants did. We're practically numb from last Despair episode, anyway. I really liked a lot of the dialogue and scenes, with that last shot of Junko being partcularly impressive.

Hope Side... I'm really hyped for that. I dunno how it's gonna go, if it'll end the story or give us some much-anticipated fanservice. I think it'll be a bit of both. It isn't a one hour special, though. Or is it? I dont think it is. I believe it's not a 1 hour special, it will be released on Thursday (Normal late funimation sub time) in place of the usual Despair arc. I'm guessing this episode will be allocated to the Neo World Programme??? Maybe?

Also I think we can safely say after coming from the Neo World Programme, Izuru chose hope over despair. Kyosuke's peace keepers heading for Jabberwock island prompted Hajime/Izuru to say 'how boring', since Kyosuke wanting to annihilate the Remnants is considered despairful then it seems to suggest Izuru chose the side of hope.

So basically Koniverse, the fact Peko said 'she wouldn't kill anyone anymore' meant she was meaning the opposite. The only issue is the rest of their declarations sounded despairfully subverted rather than the complete opposite of what they meant so I don't get Peko's. I like Koniverse's explanation on how they think they are doing good when they aren't. It lines up with how Hiyoko and Ibuki say they will use their talents to spread "joy", and in the opening to future, that's what it looks like they are doing. I also found the fact that they had the patterned swirls in their eyes weird. When do their eyes turn red then?

I don't know about the Hope side. Despair side is alright, and entertaining, but it was way below my expectations. I'll take what I can get though. I am trying to lower my expectations for Hope side. Oh, found this on TV Tropes:

Class 77's "graduation". It starts off so innocently, with Yukizome bidding her class a tearful farewell and celebrating. Of course, we all know that it's a lie. Once Junko's destruction of Hope's Peak begins, their eyes immediately become the despair eyes and talk about their roles in Junko's plan. The creepiest part is that they act as though what they'll do will spread happiness throughout the world, as if they were never brainwashed at all.
 * Nagito: Continues rambling about hope despite now being a Remnant of Despair, meaning his entire existence is now a walking contradiction. He will now actively increase despair in order to forcibly create hope, rather than eliminating despair to create hope.
 * Ultimate Impostor: States that now he can be anyone he wishes, meaning he'll most likely kill and impersonate whoever he wants in order to sow more chaos.
 * Souda: Intends to find the cure for environmental pollution, even though he'll either end up making it worse to fuel despair or decide that it's humanity that's the cause.
 * Teruteru: Will create exquisite dishes for the whole world. Which will likely be filled with drugs and poisons that will kill millions.
 * Kuzuryuu: Will lead his clan down the right path. The path of  war.
 * Peko: Will never kill again. Because Kuzuryuu's army of yakuza will do it instead while she gets to be by his side.
 * Sonia: Will return to her country and spread the good word. Junko's word.
 * Mahiru: Will put her photography skills to good use. By showcasing horrific images and doctoring them to spread more despair.
 * Tsumiki: Intends to create miracle drugs for people, meaning she'll likely become a harmful, addictive drug trafficker as well as creating biochemical weapons of mass destruction.
 * Ibuki: Will spread happiness through her music, which will likely be dark songs about horrific acts.
