What is the name of the antagonist group in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls?

The story behind the answer

The antagonists in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls are the Warriors of Hope—a group of five children who lead a Monokuma-fueled uprising in Towa City. Their cutesy, “hopeful” name is ironic: they use the language of hope to inflict despair, a hallmark twist of the Danganronpa series. By contrast, The Monokubs appear in V3, and Ultimate Despair is a broader cult tied to Junko Enoshima, not this game’s central foe.

Remember it this way: in a series obsessed with Hope vs. Despair, Ultra Despair Girls flips the script—“hopeful” kids become the villains. Key members include Monaca Towa, Nagisa, Kotoko, Jataro, and Masaru, whose tragic backstories are manipulated into a crusade against adults.
