Junko gets Ryota to show her the anime he has been working on, learning that various techniques akin to subliminal messaging are used to prompt emotions from its viewers. Concerned by his absence, the Ultimate Impostor sends Mikan to check on Ryota's dorm, where she is captured by Mukuro and brought to a secret room where Junko is having Ryota continue work on his anime. Later that night, Junko and Mukuro break Izuru out of his facility and take him to the old Hope's Peak Academy school building, where they coerce the school's student council into killing each other. As principal Jin Kirigiri is ordered to cover up the incident, Junko leaks information about the experiments and murders to the Reserve Course students, sparking a rebellion against the main school.
