Ultimate Hope, also known as Super High School Level Hope (超高校級の「希望」chō kōkō kyū no “kibō”), is one of the many Ultimate talents in the Danganronpa series.

Overview[]

Ultimate Hope is an exclusive title, only given to Makoto Naegi, Hajime Hinata, Komaru Naegi and K1-B0. As the name suggests, people bearing this title are considered to represent hope. Despite having the same talent, they received the title for vastly different reasons.

Skills and Abilities[]

The traits of an Ultimate Hope vary among bearers of the title:

  • Hajime, after undergoing several surgeries in the Izuru Kamukura Project, became Izuru, a person intended to spread hope by having every talent known to mankind, allowing him to act as a paragon for others to aspire to and lead the human race into a golden age.
  • Makoto uses a combination of charisma, logic, and quiet optimism to encourage others to better themselves in the face of adversity, advocating teamwork, and discussion of ideas to overcome challenges. He was also able to stand against the Ultimate Despair, earning him the title.
  • Similar to Makoto, K1-B0's ability to inspire hope stems largely from his ability to verbally motivate others to push forward, despite seemingly overwhelming odds. However, he is also perfectly willing to take direct action in the name of hope, up to and including sacrificing himself to give his friends a chance.
  • Despite not attending Hope's Peak Academy, Komaru Naegi was awarded this title in the Danganronpa Decade Artbook. Being the sister to the Ultimate Hope Makoto Naegi, and bringing hope toward those in Towa City is likely the reason she was awarded the title.

All bearers of the title seem to share a great determination; once their mind is set on a task, nothing short of death will stop them from trying to complete it.
