Absolutely!

Getting taken out during the first trial was part of her grand plan. They would all see her “execution” and believe that she died trying to kill the mastermind. What a joke!

No. She didn’t have any faith in humanity, not after the Tragedy and the broadcast of the Hope’s Peak Academy killing game. Seeing Ultimates become their own problem by turning on their friends strengthened her resolve.

So, she orchestrated everything from far behind the scenes. They carried on her false wish naively. Not one of them thought that it could be her; it didn’t even cross Kokichi’s mind.

Her big reveal was oh-so-despairful. She actually made Tsumugi pass out from shock, and she knew Shuichi was close to it. If she wasn’t so busy with the trial, she would’ve been laughing her head off at them.

“I’m the perfect mastermind for a killing game. I don’t have any faith in humanity.” -Mastermind Kaede Akamatsu 

“Even that detective got fooled! Isn’t that despair inducing?”
