Hajime Hinata, a talentless Reserve Course student at Hope's Peak Academy, was plagued by insecurities over his ordinary status, which fueled his envy and admiration for the elite Main Course. Desperate to transcend his limitations, he underwent the Izuru Kamukura Project—a radical experiment embedding every Ultimate talent into one host. The process erased his memories and suppressed his identity, forging him into the emotionally vacant Izuru Kamukura, hailed as the Ultimate Hope. Though burdened by perpetual ennui from foreseeing all outcomes, fragments of his past lingered, manifesting in an unconscious bond with Chiaki Nanami, a former classmate whose death triggered his sole display of emotion. Izuru’s detached brilliance unwittingly facilitated Junko Enoshima’s machinations. She exploited his craving for unpredictability, coercing him to embed subliminal commands within footage of Chiaki’s execution. This act corrupted Class 77-B, transforming them into the Remnants of Despair, architects of worldwide collapse. In the Hope Arc, Hajime’s consciousness reawakened and integrated with Izuru’s talents, creating a unified self that balanced human empathy with hyper-analytical precision. This synthesis enabled him to reverse the brainwashing of the Remnants and confront Ryota Mitarai, whose despair-inducing technology threatened global consciousness. Hajime challenged Ryota’s reliance on forced hope, advocating instead for shared accountability. To preserve the Future Foundation’s integrity, Hajime and the redeemed Remnants claimed responsibility for the tragedies, exiling themselves to Jabberwock Island as penance. As the Ultimate Hope, Hajime wields unparalleled physical and intellectual prowess, including talents replicated from Hope’s Peak’s Ultimates. His post-fusion persona intertwines emotional vulnerability with analytical precision, often voicing disinterest yet actively opposing deterministic ideologies. Chiaki’s memory remains central to his resolve, steering him away from apathy toward embracing uncertainty. His arc concludes with his evolution from manipulated instrument to autonomous leader, harmonizing his dual legacy as both artificial prodigy and flawed human. Overseeing Class 77-B’s rehabilitation on Jabberwock Island, he embodies a fragile reconciliation—a future built not on absolutes, but on mutual atonement and cautious hope.
