Well, it depends on your perspective. The Ultimate Despair of my world, Enoshima-chan...I suppose you could say that even she had hope, in a way, in that she hoped to spread her despair or to have her plans work. Likewise, the Ultimate Hope of my world who destroyed her...I'm sure even he felt despair at times.

Really, though, that's just the nature of hope and despair. You can't truly have one without the other. That's why even someone like me could potentially become Ultimate Hope...being Ultimate Hope doesn't mean a complete absence of despair. It just means having a hope strong enough to be able to destroy the strongest despair there is...!

I suppose, when you look at it like that...the biggest draw of potentially becoming Ultimate Hope is to be able to feel that much hope in something. To have a hope so strong that no despair can shake it...because even though one can't exist without the other, hope always overcomes despair in the end. Despair is meaningless...it's emptiness. All of existence is proof enough that something will always beat nothing, even if you need nothing to define the existence of something.
