Junko Enoshima
Ultimate Despair (Ultimate Fashionista/Ultimate Analystnote )
(Due to the variety of voices this character uses, voice directions are written in italicized brackets at the start of a paragraph.)
(in a haughty, exaggerated British accent, not dissimilar to Margaret Thatcher) We have been waiting! Waiting *so* very long for peasants like you to visit our page! If you swear your fealty to us, we will gladly inform you about our lineage! We do have a lot to cover, after all!
(in a deadpan, emotionless voice) Oh... did you actually believe me? Sorry about that... I was just messing with you. It's not every day someone wanders over here.
(in a rowdy, punkish voice) Anyway, I'm Junko fuckin' Enoshima, the Ultimate Despaaaaayaaaahhhh! Bored as fuck and ready to ruin your sorry fuckin' day!
(in a mature, teacher-like voice) Technically, I'm the Ultimate Fashonista, though honestly my real talent lies in my analytical abilities.
(in a depressed, nihilistic voice) But being able to predict anyone's every move, I get super bored, I mean super super super super *super* bored. It's why I resorted to hiding behind a mask and pulling all the strings.
(in a playful, comedic voice) Cause despair is totally *unpredictable!* That's what gets me going — thrills, chills, kills! There's nothing else like it in the entire world!
(in an aroused, seductive voice) I just get such a rush... it sets my senses on fire and makes me feel like I'm in heaven!
(teacher voice) Well, technically, I am, but that's beside the point. Anyway, let me tell you my story, start to finish.
(in a cutesy, childish voice) So way back when, when I was *really* small, I used to have this friend of mine, who was technically my only friend cause I didn't have anyone else! He stuck by me no matter what I did, and eventually he became reliant on me cause his mother died of a *horrible* disease. It was a puppy-love that blossomed to a beautifully grizzly ending that filled me up with so much despair!
(in a deadpan, emotionless voice) Oh, and there's my sister, who has a different last name from mine for reasons I won't get into. She went off to be a child soldier or something. Maybe, I should've done that to get some despair.
(in a deep, serious voice) Despair... Despair is what I live for. My sister and I were once homeless. Our childhood was terrible, despairingly terrible. I grew to love it. To desire more like it. Yet, no one understood that...
(in a disgusted, angry voice) Except maybe my disgusting freckled sister! Ugh! She even gets off to the way I treat her. It's kind of gross.
(teacher voice) Regardless, she eventually returned from being a child soldier to instead serve me.
(cute voice) And so, we became the despair sisters! We plunged the whole wide world into despair by locking up our class at high school, killing the rest, and forcing them to kill each other.
(deadpan) And then, I had my pigbarf sister take my place, only for me to kill her as she failed to emulate me. Such a sad end to her story. It filled me with such despair.
(teacher voice) One by one the students died until only six were left. I attempted to defeat Kyoko, the Ultimate Detective, by setting up a case using my sister's body. However, a certain talentless student rose to be my foil...
(punk voice) Makoto, the Ultimate fuckin' Lucky Student! Taking Kyoko's place in the execution, the hope-spewing boy survived because of that fuckin' program Chihiro made! And, I had to redo the whole fuckin' trial again! What a load of bullshit!
(depressed voice) Sadly, I sowed the seeds of my own demise as they figured the body I used was that of my sister, leaving me as the culprit.
(punk voice) So, I showed the fuck up and dropped enough truth bombs to give their hopeful hearts some despairing leukemia!
(in a disgusted, angry voice) They would've given up hope if it weren't for that hope nugget Makoto spewing out his disgusting hope all over my face!
(deadpan voice) But, in a way, it was a fitting end for the Ultimate Despair. The whole Tragedy thing was getting boring anyways.
(aroused voice) So, I treated myself to the most despairing and wonderful execution of them all. Combining all of the previous executions into one. It was riveting!
(punk voice) And if you thought that was the end of my sob story, then you’ve got another fucking thing coming! I’ve uploaded myself into a AI to ensure I’ll fucking stick around and cause more despair after my physical body was dead and gone.
So, you want to know the great Junko Enoshima, hmm? Well, you're in luck! Roll the tropes. (mad laughter)
- Alpha Bitch: (energetic voice) Yeah, so, when attending Hope's Peak Academy before, I was a real popular girl. Loved it! Everyone else was so much worse than me, though. And the school was such a sham. Luckily, no one saw through my cover and realized I was actually the embodiment of despair. Even the staff were tricked!! Haha! (dark voice) What fools!!
- Awesomeness by Analysis: (teacher voice) Correct. This is precisely why I am such a goddess of despair. If you can't be surprised by anything, then why not make your own? That's where my despair comes in. (dark voice) I relish in it, because it's so much better than just repeating the same damn thing all the time, after all. (punk voice) And what better seed to sow to create that despair than the whole fucking world, huh?!
- Ax-Crazy: (British voice) Despair is the most satisfying thing in the world. That is why, as despair seekers, we must bring it to you ourselves! (cute voice) And I don't care how! I just want that sweet, succulent despair! I need it! (punk voice) So yeah, I don't give a shit what happens! Just do something reprehensible or something, whatever! Fuck this stupid-ass world! Humans suck anyway!
- The Bad Guy Wins: (cute voice) Technically, I can't lose. Even if I get all the despair in the world, what matters to me is that I get it, really! Whether through win or "loss", it counts for me! As the Ultimate Despair, we are always aroused by the deepest, darkest despair. (normal voice) That's why I let things happen unexpectedly, after all.
- Barbaric Bully: (glaring) ...Do you even have to ask how I would apply to the basic description of a bully? Yeah, just look at me. I like to cause pain and push it unto others for sadistic reasons because despair is exciting. Is that enough to say it? I think it is.
- Beauty Is Bad: (deadpan) What lies underneath my cute and adorable face is a desire to cause chaos for fun, while claiming it's to remind people that hope is useless in a terrible and quite pointless world. Just because I look innocent, it does not mean I am. So run, little sheep.
- Big Bad: (punk voice) The Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic Event in Human History, AKA The Tragedy, is thanks to my dastardly scheming! So yeah! Credit to me for that! (cute voice) Everyone should know my love for despair, after all. It'll go to waste if I don't show it to the world. Kyahahahahahaha!
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: I love despair — and yet, I also love people... And I mean, somehow... I...really do? I suppose that I should... use it to spread more despair. Won't that be a fun experience?
- Card-Carrying Villain: (punk voice) Yeah, I'm what you losers like to call a "horrible person." What's so bad about despair? Everything, you say? (laughs) That's the fucking point!
- The Chessmaster: (giggling) Yeah, that's right... All of this is thanks to my efforts. You don't know it, but all of these things I've done all link back to me! I may be obsessed with the excitement of despair, but I'm no fool! I make sure to always have a backup plan. That's why all my apprentices follow in my footsteps, after all. (punk voice) They just admire how well I put everything together, and brought this shitty world to its knees! Fuck yeah!
- Complete Monster: (British voice) Apparently our unwavering committment to the cause of despair, and our ceaseless quest to make the world an objectively worse place for everyone, has prompted the kind people at TV Tropes to deem us irredeemably, purely evil. We are incredibly honoured to receive this award for all our hard work.
- Concepts Are Cheap: (teacher voice) In case you haven't noticed, most of my sentences contain "despair" in them. (punk voice) No shit, you motherfucker! Why would I need to explain it when I don't have a fucking reason, hmm!?
- Dystopia Justifies the Means: So yeah, me and my followers destroyed the world and turned it into a land of despair and turmoil, where everything is in ruins and we rule over it together. What of it?
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: (normal) My stupid classmates, my sickening sister, and my psychologist boytoy boyfriend. I love them. They are amongst the only people I can love. Fortunately for them, I can give them that love by killing them and bringing despair unto them all. It's my way of showing it, after all!
- Evil All Along: (sarcastically) Oh, yeah... You wouldn't expect the fashionista you saw before entering Hope's Peak Academy to be the mastermind of a killing game, huh, Makoto?
- Hated by All: (sarcastically) Awwww, no one likes me? (dark voice) Well, too bad for those chumps, I don't care! I'm going to continue spreading my influence until nothing can stop me! ...Despair is eternal! Kyahahahahahahahahaha! ...Oh. I completely died when I tried to usurp the bodies of my own brainwashed cult as an AI. Huh. Never mind then...
- The Hedonist: (excited voice) Despair gives me quite a rush, so you should expect me to try to please myself by spreading as much despair as I possibly can!! What comes first is me and my pleasure, not your bullshit lives, you hear me?!
- Her Own Worst Enemy: And proud of it! Hey, when nobody can compete with you, what bigger challenge is left than yourself?
- Hope Crusher: Well, duh! I am called the Ultimate Despair, after all.
- Hypocrite: Despair is a natural thing in all humans. That's what my philosophy dictates. ...Hey! No! No, no, no, me removing my classmates' memories and forcing the world to conform to my standards because it won't fall into despair on its own does not disprove that philosophy! It's... perfectly sensible! Yeah! You're a fool if you think it's not natural within all of us. Hmph!
- Jerkass: (normal) If it wasn't already obvious, I love spreading despair, and don't care who I insult or murder along the way, as long as I get my prize of a world that knows true despair! Kyahahaha!
- Kick the Dog: Well, duh. After all, what's despair without kicking someone while they're down, hm?
- Lack of Empathy: No, I don't care for your problems, though I don't care much for mine either. If I did, I would feel like death itself, because that is not despair. That's hope, which I personally find disgusting.
- Lady Swears-a-Lot: (punk) There are some times when I fucking swear so fucking much, it's fucking unreal! I fucking think I say "fuck" more than anyone else I fucking know! (teacher) Ahem... But not always, of course. Just when I feel like it.
- Laughably Evil: ...Huh? You're telling me people find me hilarious? ... Well, of course! I am the one and only Junko, after all. Even with my despair, I can still exaggerate it to absurdly humorous degrees. Though, of course, it's not for your entertainment. I just want you to despair and nothing more.
- Light Is Not Good: Yeah, I look innocent thanks to my adorable face. I should warn you that I am not what my face wants you to think I am, though. In fact...I could say I am quite the opposite of what my exterior might hint at. (grins sadistically)
- Manipulative Bastard: Well, of course. Can't pursue despair without cracking humanity at its shell and sowing the seed of despair by destroying people's hope, right?
- Mood-Swinger: (deadpan) Just in case (punk) this fucking page didn't (teacher) make this fact aware to you, I (British) tend to change our (cute) personalities very often, just for fun! (serious) I appear to be getting worse (energetic) in this regard as time goes on! KYAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! A-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Hah...
- Narcissist: (seductive voice) No one on this earth is more beautiful and amazing than me, Junko Enoshima! My own sister was just eating away at me... And yet, I loved her. So I killed her too, just because I could, for that super despair.
- Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: (dark tone) I'm not that obvious about it, but I do believe that hope is a waste and will only disappoint you. Why go through that pathetic sequence of expecting something only to not get it? Ha! So pointless! I want to give you that despair before the disappointment. It's easier for you too, you know? (normal) ...Huh?!? What do you mean I'm just spreading despair because I can and not because I want to stop humanity from expecting things? ... ...Alright. Fine! Yeah, it's because it's fun. That's it!
- Practically Joker: (cute voice) So I took a cue or two from Mistah J. What of it? Some girls just wanna watch the world burn!
- Psychopathic Womanchild: ..."Womanchild"?! What the fuck?! Do you seriously think of me as that immature or something? Wow! ...Guess I'm not that threatening after all. And your insult... makes me feel such wonderful despair!
- Put Them All Out of My Misery: I have no idea what hope feels like... so I'll do the next best thing with the despair I constantly feel for the duration of my torturous existence: I'll spread it and inform the whole fuckin' pathetic world how good it is! Yes! That's what I believe is right! ...Hope. Ugh. So predictable. Despair is where the true meaning of life is. You don't need something as abhorrent as the predictable.
- Red Baron: "Ultimate Despair" sounds pretty threatening, huh? ...It's not my real title, actually, but still, it's definitely a warning... to stay away from me.
- Seven Deadly Sins: Guilty as charged for all of them, baby! ...Well, not Envy. I am much too perfect to care what other people's lives are like. All I want is despair, and that's all. (giggles mischievously)
- Smug Snake: (smugly) Oh, what's the problem? You can't deal with the greatness of the one and only Junko Enoshima? ...Well, you don't deserve me, anyway.
- The Sociopath: I destroyed the world and killed people or whatever because I was bored or something like that. Really, who cares what people think? What do you have to say about it, hmm? ...And yet, somehow, I still feel real love for others. This is odd...
- Straw Nihilist: (depressed voice) Ugh. Life is boring. People are even more boring. Everyone sucks... and they do not deserve the lives they live. They only deserve the deepest, darkest despair. Such a waste. And why have hope anyway? There is no point in pursuing it... Despair will come for you anyway. And you won't be able to stop it...
- You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: (normal) The only reason I kill off my naive servants is firstly, because I'm much better than they are, and also because I need that wonderful despair! By any means necessary! It's just not worth it if I don't get that sweet despair every second! That comes at the expense of those who work for me. Not like I care anyway, really.
- (teacher voice) Well, now that you know all about me, I suppose you'd like to know about one of my most excellent students... I should warn you, though. He is quite a *crazy* individual.
