Just as frequently, she proves how small her faith in that despair is by manipulating events in ways that try to cut hope off at its knees--like [[LaserGuidedAmnesia taking away the student's memories]] knowing they wouldn't kill each other otherwise, writing Sakura’s fake suicide note when she [[HeroicSacrifice killed herself for the sake of hope]], and trying to kill [[HopeBringer Makoto]] under the guise of [[TheDragon Mukuro]] so that she can pin the murder on [[GreatDetective Kyoko]]. This fact is thrown at her by basically everyone, and her need to disprove it leads to the final chapter's trial. At one point, she also claims that the people who were trying to rescue Class 78 refused to give up hope and tried to force their beliefs on others.

She then goes on to [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness betray and kill the unsuspecting Hifumi]] after manipulating him into killing Kiyotaka, although to her credit she doesn't even attempt to justify it as anything other than cold-blooded murder committed for her own personal gain.
** In Episode 7 of ''The Animation'', she remarks that Byakuya and Jill are "[c]old, heartless [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and devoid of calcium]]" for insulting how Hifumi momentarily came back to life just to die again. Um, lady, who's cold and heartless enough to mastermind the murder of two people (one of them being the very Hifumi in question) and probably the rest due to the rules, and even called Hifumi a fat idiot just to get one selfish dream? Then again, this may be less hypocrisy and more [[BlatantLies lying]] to throw off suspicion towards her. Additionally, in the game, her point about both of them lacking calcium counts because she purposely deprecates herself for her daily lack of exercise while exercising her own murder plan.

** Makoto refusing to tell her what he wanted to speak with Sakura about [[RememberThatYouTrustMe after the two promised to trust one another]] triggers her BerserkButton, but this happens because him voicing his suspicions before learning if Sakura really was TheMole would unfairly implicate her without proof (essentially forcing him over to Kyoko's way of thinking since her [[EveryoneIsASuspect distrust in everyone]] makes it easier for her to throw blame around). This hostility towards Makoto continues into [[BreakUpMakeUpScenario the next half of the chapter]], despite her past history of [[PoorCommunicationKills withholding information from him]] (including sending him as live bait for the Mastermind).
** She calls Makoto foolishly open in her Free Time Events, then says his honest nature suits him. During aforementioned BreakUpMakeUpScenario, she coldly shuns his clear attempts to reconnect with her, even though his obvious guilt should probably have tipped her off that maybe he has a good reason for keeping this particular secret.
** Even after the secret comes out, she criticizes Byakuya for stepping over people's feelings despite spending most of the game [[CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer brushing people off if they demand answers from her]] while largely acting neutrally on Sakura's situation ([[TheComplainerIsAlwaysWrong save for telling Aoi her anger plays into the Mastermind's hand]]).
** The fifth trial marks a turning point in this attitude, because [[ItsAllMyFault the extent of her failure]] there [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone forces her to see the hypocrisies in her thinking]] (Naegi TakingTheHeat for her frame-job showing which one deserved to be trusted, while showing how many truths she can miss out on [[IWorkAlone by working alone]]). She ultimately apologizes in the trash dump for all of this, finally vowing to tell him everything. This goes a great length towards showcasing how susceptible to being emotional (and therefore illogical) she truly is, and learning to step down from the self-appointed pedestal of [[SeekerArchetype truth seeker]] by working with others ends up being some important CharacterDevelopment for her.

* ''Multiple'' examples regarding Byakuya Togami.
** He regularly withholds important information so that he can try to dramatically reveal it during the trials, but gets pissed off whenever he learns somebody else knows something he doesn't. To say nothing of how outraged he is over someone else tampering with a crime scene, despite going out of his way to tamper with Chihiro's simply to make things more complicated.
** In Chapter 2, he responds to everyone trying to underplay the severity of the Secrets Motive by telling them not to judge how severe the secret was based on their own standards, which he brings up again in regards to the money motive. Despite this, Byakuya ''constantly'' judges the others based on his own standards, viewing all of the other students, namely [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Makoto]], as essentially worthless and like they'll never amount to anything simply because of his status as heir to the Togami Family, which he believes makes him vastly above them.
** He claims Kyoko's lack of squeamishness around corpses she's forensically examining is unnatural when in the previous chapter he desecrated Chihiro's body and said so himself that a corpse is just an object.
** He repeatedly tells Makoto that he shouldn't assume everyone thinks the same way, yet he's completely blindsided when he's wrong about assuming the culprit of the fourth trial murdering for gain as he would've.
** He broke off from the group early on, to much of their dismay, over their lack of unity, yet he has the gall to be upset over being LockedOutOfTheLoop about Alter Ego's existence.
