Junko x Despair

Junko × Despair is the cargo ship between Junko Enoshima and despair from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Junko loves despair more than anything. Above all, Junko was deeply obsessed with despair, having found despair to be the most enjoyable emotion for her, whether it be inflicting despair unto others, or suffering from despair wholeheartedly. This made her extremely dangerous, as she wished to make the whole world feel absolute despair. However, this also often proved to be her biggest weakness, as she gave her opponents a "fair" chance to defeat her in order to make their despair all the greater if they fail, and happily welcomed her own despair if her plans failed.

Titled as the Ultimate Despair, Junko began to develop "Monokumas" together with Monaca Towa. The Monokuma's were made for only one reason, to spread more despair among the world. Afterwards, Junko was even going as far, as killing her own sister to feel more despair. Tsumugi Shirogane started her own killing game in Danganronpa V3 Killing Harmony, because she was amazed by Junko and wanted to spread despair herself. Although Junko doesn't appears psychically in Danganronpa V3, she was the key reason why another killing game started, showing that her despair, even after her death was still strong.

In Danganronpa Trigger Happy Havoc, Junko because of her love to despair, forced her fellow classmates of Class 78th, to attend a killing game. Trapped in Hope's Peak Academy, the 15 students had no choice but to attend the killing game and in order to escape, someone needs to kill another student. The killer then becomes the "culprit" and needs to go through a "class trial", in which the other remaining students have the chance to reveal the culprit. If the majority of the students vote for the right person, only the culprit gets punished. However, if the majority of the students, vote for the wrong person, then everyone else will be punished and only the culprit can graduate from Hope's Peak Academy. But because Junko gave her classmates a fair chance to defeat her, she gets exposed as the culprit of Mukuro Ikusaba's murder by Makoto Naegi and later gets executed.

Fanon
The Danganronpa fandom made this ship jokingly, since most of the fandom dislikes most ships between Junko. Fans make her pair with something that she loves and mentions despair multiple times in the game and other media. Although most Junko ships are disliked by the fandom, the ship still has a few rival ship's, such as, Junkan and Junkozuru. Junko x Despair is one of the most popular Danganronpa cargo ships, along with Hope Bagels.
