ARE YOU READY TO DO YOUR PART, TROOPER?
Hope Arc (by me): The communist kung fu master, Bruce T (for tankie) , is on the run. Junko Enoshima's Doomerist Jihad has swept the nation and many more, leaving in its wake destroyed city and civilians murdered in cold blood. And worse, his enemy, the Grand Bashar Mukuro Ikusaba, is always only a few steps behind him with an army of monokumas, Despair Speakers, Reserves, and SS at her disposal.
But Bruce holds on to hope. Hope that things will get better, and hope that he will be able to find and join the nascent Red Army.
Despair Arc (by pointtwogo): A grey-scale blurry landscape where nothing is quite as it seems. You see that mail box over there? Go over to it, try touching it. Do not be shocked if you can only touch thin air. This is where the ends of reality are unmet. Do something and you will forget it in a few moments. There's no place for the present here. The past is infinite. Do you see it? See the grey? My dear, this is not real time. You are years behind. But do not worry. In here, in this gray-scale, what have you to worry? Close your eyes. You need not them no more. The grey, the dark and the dull will be in place of you. Let your mind go to the dust. This is your fate anyways. Rest in pieces.
It's about this guy who's an Ultra Despair Trooper, also known as the Reserve Army of Despair.
