"That's right, this was Izuru Kamukura, you know?!"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Junko Enoshima happily raised both hands.
"He was created as humanity's hope, a being who possessed every talent, destined to lead humanity's hope—a savior, practically! And now, he'll bring you destruction and despair... There's nothing more despairing than that, is there?!"
