I think Naegi absolutely deserves a proper spot on Pure Good. Naegi embodies hope and trust in the Danganronpa universe, lifting up those around him to fight against despair and injustice. Even when he's betrayed by Sayaka in Chapter 1, he not only forgives her, but continues to fight to avenge her. He sees the best in people, and tries to bring out the best in them as well.

In Super Danganronpa 2/Danganronpa 3, Naegi was tasked with killing the Remnants of Despair (a group of brainwashed high school students, primarily), but instead disobeyed his orders and put them all into a simulation to attempt to bring back the good in them, and it works. In Danganronpa 3, Naegi does everything he can to help his friends survive Tengan's killing game, and then proceeded to bring back his brainwashed friends to stop Ryota from brainwashing the rest of the world. Even when Ryota is stopped, Naegi offers his friendship, showing that he truly believes anyone can be good.

I can't think of anything really bad to say about Naegi as a person, besides being naive. He's kind to others, he's stopped multiple criminal masterminds and saved the world, and he inspires those around him to be better. I believe every Danganronpa protagonist deserves a spot on Pure Good (besides maybe Kaede), but Makoto absolutely embodies it.
