| “ | I doubt that I need an introduction, but just in case, I am Junko Enoshima, the True Ultimate Despair... and yes, all the horrible stories you've heard about me are indeed true! | „ |
| ~ Junko Enoshima. |
Junko Enoshima is the main antagonist of the Danganronpa franchise.
A student labeling herself as the Ultimate Fashionista, it is soon revealed that she is the founder of the organization known as "Ultimate Despair", a terrorist organization responsible for "The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Incident in the History of Mankind" and also the true identity of the bear that oversees the game, Monokuma.
A girl who is completely obsessed with despair, Junko is hellbent on causing misery across the world so that she can satiate her sadomasochistic feeling towards the despair that she has caused. She is also the twin sister and killer of Mukuro Ikusaba and archenemy of Makoto Naegi and Kyoko Kirigiri.
In the English versions, she was voiced by Amanda C. Miller and Erin Fitzgerald in the games, and by Jamie Marchi in the anime. In Japanese, she was voiced by Megumi Toyoguchi and the late Sayaka Kanda in the stage play versions.
What Makes Her Pure Evil?[]
- She is ultimately the one responsible for everything that happened in the series as all of the incidents happening were all only thanks to her influence towards everyone leading to countless death for the entire series.
- Due to her boredom as the Ultimate Analyst, she found a new obsession towards causing despair and, to that end, set about completely crushing the concept of hope.
- Nearly caused the entire extinction of humanity by enacting an event known as "The Worst, Most Despair-Inducing Incident in the History of Mankind".
- Due to loving her so much, she abused and bullied her sister Mukuro Ikusaba and in the Despair Arc of Danganronpa 3, even tried to kill her multiple times with a knife and a bomb for no reason whatsoever.
- While Junko is capable of caring about others, such as her classmates, her sister Mukuro and her love interest Yasuke, she ultimately believes that harming people close to her will bring her greater despair and the more she loves them the more she will revel in their despair, for example killing Mukuro and Yasuke while making them believe that she didn't care about them anymore and abused their dead bodies.
- This is also the reason why she forced her classmates in Class 78th to participate in the Killing Game; she loved them all so she forced them to experience their own despair by her own hand.
- Committed numerous bombings and killings just to satisfy her bloodlust.
- Murdered several of the security guards at Hope's Peak Academy.
- Manipulated the Ultimate Hope, Izuru Kamukura, into aiding her plans by inviting him to a Student Council Killing Game.
- Learned the brainwashing techniques of the Ultimate Animator, Ryota Mitarai, and kidnapped Ultimate Nurse Mikan Tsumiki to turn her into the first Ultimate Despair.
- Forced the Student Council to participate in a sadistic killing game.
- After the killing game is done, 15 students have died while Junko recorded it from behind the scenes. In addition, she uses the recording to incriminate Izuru Kamukura.
- Even if she claimed to love the Warriors of Hope, she actually never loved them and she just manipulated them to kill all the adults and make the Demon Hunting killing game. She also doesn't care about Monaca Towa, even if she did a lot of work with her and called her "Big Sis Junko".
- Leaked the video of the First Killing Game onto the internet, which drove the students of Hope's Peak Academy to madness and resulted on them staging a violent revolution.
- Gave the kind-hearted Chisa Yukizome a lobotomy in order to turn her into an Ultimate Despair.
- Used the despair-filled Mikan and Chisa Yukizome to lure Class 77-B into her lair, where she converted them all into Ultimate Despairs by having them watch their class representative, Ultimate Gamer Chiaki Nanami, be tortured to death in an extremely gruesome manner.
- After using the brainwashed Reserve Course students to murder the Main Course students, she used the suicide video to brainwash the Reserve Course to commit suicide to find them useless and to feel despair.
- She seems to only love Monokuma as she likes hugging him. Though, Monokuma is an advanced bear that was designed by her and she acts out as a certain persona through him.
- She soon wiped her classmates' memories and killed the headmaster in order to instigate a killing game and create despair.
- Told the students that she will harm their loved ones if they don't start killing each other.
- Murdered her own sister, Mukuro, in order to make an example out of her and to feel despair herself.
- Warned the students about her gaining their secrets and planning to expose them, leading to another murder.
- Made some of her classmates in Class 78th to kill one another and have them executed during the Killing Game.
- Made Sayaka Maizono attempt to kill Leon Kuwata out of fear of losing her friends and career, in which, in turn, he kills her instead, leading to his execution as he claims it was out of self-defense.
- Made Mondo Owada kill Chihiro Fujisaki out of envy before he got executed.
- Made Celestia Ludenberg manipulate Hifumi Yamada to kill Kiyotaka Ishimaru and then killed him as a way to use wealth to blind Celestia into murdering for her dreams before she got executed.
- Exposed Sakura Ogami's secret in order to turn everyone against her, and forced her to commit murder in order to continue the killing game, causing Sakura to commit suicide.
- Attempted to kill Makoto Naegi by framing him for Mukuro’s death but the execution was interrupted by Alter Ego. She even tried to kill him before the Killing School Life by throwing a wrench at him, which misses from Makoto’s luck.
- Before killing herself at the end of the Class Trial, she made one last attempt to make the surviving members of Class 78th fall into despair by saying that the air was deadly and saying that their loved ones were gone (although she failed thanks to Makoto Naegi).
- Although she kills herself in the end, it's not out of honor to keep her word but just so she could feel despair. This easily means that her death is meant to be played for karma and satisfaction especially due to how horrible and awful all of her crimes are such as abusing and bullying her own sister Mukuro Ikusaba and killing Chiaki Nanami in the most disturbing way.
- Even after her death, she still left a very big impact on everyone in the series, including the Class 77-B students, where all of them ended up killing each other due to the AI she created so she could take over their bodies to continue her region of terror.
- While undeniably completely crazy, Junko doesn't suffer from moral agency issues, as she knows the difference between right and wrong well enough to revel in doing wrong. She also has the mental ability to carefully plan her atrocities before going through with them.
- Despite having several moments where she makes jokes as herself and as Monokuma, and has laughable switches between her personality out of boredom, none of those detract from her actions and she is still taken seriously in-universe. Besides, those moments are to make clear how extremely crazy she is.
Trivia[]
- She's a very rare case of a Pure Evil villain that actually loves her friends and family, but still qualifies because she will discard them if it bring her more despair. The more she loves a person, the more despair she will give to them and herself when she hurts and/or kills them.
- Coincidentally, Junko’s actor in the stage versions Sayaka Kanda portrayed a Pure Good within the Danganronpa franchise, Kaede Akamatsu, in V3: Killing Harmony.
