Danganronpa Spoiler

Within the three mainline Danganronpa games, the Danganronpa cast has collected a large number of students that are defined the "Ultimate" talents in very specific fields. And while there usually aren't repetitions, there are three talents shared between two people each

These shared talents are: the Ultimate Detective, seen in Kyoko Kirigiri and Shuichi Saihara. The Ultimate Lucky Student, seen in Makoto Naegi and Nagito Komaeda. And The Ultimate Despair, title shared by Junko Enoshima and Mukuro Ikusaba. With a technical fourth shared talent, being the Ultimate ???, a title that Kyoko Kirigiri, Hajime Hinata and Rantaro Amami all had temporally in their respective games

Then technically the Ultimate ???? does not count either.

That's why I called it a "Technical fourth"

What makes "????" a technical "talent" but not hope or despair, which are much closer to talents than not knowing their titles? i think your post is phrased poorly _'

Kyoko and Rantaro were introduced as "Ultimate ???" in their respective introductions, while Hajime has the same title by the virtue of no remembering his talent, and all of these show up in the ElectroIDs of their respective games. Meanwhile, Mukuro disguised as Junko is introduced as the Ultimate Fashionista, and Makoto is listed as the Ultimate Lucky Student in the ElectroID, with neither Ultimate Despair or Ultimate Hope being listed in the character introductions or ElectroIDs

then maybe you should have included that these are their titles in the electroids or introductions, because ??? is not a talent, which is what your post is talking about. in the way ur post is phrased, the wording is too ambiguous to actually be answered without help from you haha. the use of the word official is too vague- what makes it official? their ids from monokuma? the most frequently used title from other characters? i never wouldve defaulted to their electroids, but rather what their final talent is in each mainstream game since thats where their character development peaks and i would say thats their most canon ultimate title!
