Mastermind Kazuichi Soda

Mastermind Kazuichi Soda
In this AU, Kazuichi was the mastermind. He and Kamukura were the ones to put the virus in the Neo World Program causing the killing school trip. The reason for doing so was to continue to give despair to people ( mainly the Future Foundation and his classmates), because he is a remnant of despair and his purpose is to give despair to other people.

After the Neo World Program starts he acts like he used before he was part of the Ultimate Despair, emotional,carefree and acting like a big idiot making all students believes the act. He also pretends to like Sonia Nevermind even if he hates her more than anything just so he can annoy her and make her feel a little bit of despair besides the despair from the killing game. He was found out in the last trial before the time ran out so he just told them to find why they were there and where they are and he'll let them home, and he'll remain in the Neo World Program forever as punishment but if they don't get it and the time runs out they will remain in the Neo World Program forever. The survivors (Hajime, Akane, Gundham, Fuyuhiko and Nekomaru) resolve everything and with the help of Makoto, Byakuya and Kyoko they restarted the Neo World Program which kicked everyone (besides Kazuichi) out of the program.

Kazuichi is in a coma forever with only Chiaki, Usami and Monokuma as company because of them living in the program. Everyone else lives in this au.
