` ♡ MAN EATER. Let’s not forget how Junko genuinely adored her classmates in canon. She loved them ! ! She loved each and everyone of them individually and collectively. It’s conditional love, but it’s still love. The SDR2 students weren’t as special because Junko brainwashed them all at once, she didn’t even know them, but, for the DR1 crew, she basically lived and bonded with them for two years in that school. From her own twisted perspective, her classmates were her best friends. The closest group of friends she ever had! And since she loved them so much, she would treasure their despair in her hands because they were, after all, her most beloved classmates! And to see her most loved people fall into despair, would ultimately make her, Junko Enoshima, fall into even deeper despair! It was a win-win situation from the word go. She analyzed them thoroughly and endlessly, from their body language to ways of speech to their likes and dislikes; everything you can think of! She read them all like open books because of her superhuman analytical abilities. But even when fighting that endless cycle of boredom she never could get tired of her classmates because she just loved them that much. Junko feels the most love for her classmates is when they despair, which they all do far better than anyone. Junko loves her classmates so, so much it makes her sick. And with so much love, she despairs from it, because she hates love! She loves Mukuro so much and that’s why she’s always constantly trying to kill her, because Junko knows if she kills her sister she will lose so much, including the life of her own sister, and it would make her fall into a deep, deep pit of nothing but despair. This is also why Mukuro is fine with this, because if her sister succeeds in killing her, Junko will fall ultimately into despair by murdering her. And by killing Mukuro on a mere whim, it was despair both ways! It brought deeply profound despair to Mukuro to being betrayed by her own sister, and it brought Junko deeply profound despair for killing her own sister. Again, this was a win-win situation for Junko, because she was spreading despair, even to herself! She loves Izuru, Mukuro, Komaeda, Naegi, and the rest of her classmates so, so much. Especially Naegi because he’s so recklessly hopeful and he’s always way too good at ruining her plans which brings Junko into absolute despair. She even let him live for the sake of her own despair because it was possible he would thwart her plans again. She just loves her classmates so much that she decides to give back that love. Love is despair, and so when her classmates show her love, she’ll show them despair. Junko showed her love to her classmates by putting them into a mutual killing.
But personally, to me, I think love with Junko would be unhealthy obsession, mass manipulation and eventual murder. Junko’s idea of love is just inherently toxic in and out, You just cannot have a relationship with her that is in traditional sense. It’s Junko, it just can’t happen! END. ♡
