I'm sad that they didn't show Nagumo on the field, but I guess they thought it wouldn't make sense to show a character who doesn't come into play until much further on. Still, couldn't hurt though. Although the soccer game they were watching was supposed to help establish a few characters' abilities including Nagumo who's a beast, but particularly Hirata and Shibata who would be star athletes in the upcoming sports event. Speaking of, did they completely cut out Shibata, who literally was the first-year MVP of the whole event??
Might just be me but it feels like the nerfed the scene where Ayanokouji calls Horikita "useless"; didn't seem to have quite the same impact as it should've. They cut most of the sports events, and in doing so we lose a lot of Ryuuen taunting red team, Sudou in particular, whom Ryuuen was targeting to push over the edge. And we don't get to see Ryuuen's hair-gel-ified headband strategy/cheating. In the infirmary, Chabashira-sensei is present and interjects during that whole fiasco at one point, but Ryuuen asserts his dominance and tells her, a teacher, to stay out of it. And when Horikita encounters her older brother, he doesn't completely ignore her like we see here. Instead HE'S the one to ask if she understands Class D's situation. Small things are omitted just as is done with all the other episodes. But if they were included, they'd all add up to make it all feel more real and less robotic. The episode on its own with no prior knowledge is completely fine. But knowing how much is left out makes you realize how much room there is for improvement.
Its just a tennis match at this point.. wish they'd utilize class A and B more..
Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.
This sports festival doesn't make any sense. First half of the episode they spent showing class D get physically trashed with no concern about any rule breaking and yet all of a sudden in second half Im expected to believe that a false accusation against Horikita is supposed to carry any weight?
I have a feeling Kushida is the traitor again. I've never liked Kushida since S1 since I don't like girls with short hair. lol
Poor Ken. He's overreaching in trying to win over Suzune's heart. He'll end up as her tool instead.
I don’t understand why Sudo getting jumped isn’t able to be reported to the school but they’ll just magically believe that Horikita attacked the girl? Continuity issues for sure. Just doesn’t make sense.
Ryuen is such a BS character, he can just do whatever he wants and the school does nothing. Meanwhile somebody punches another and suddenly a teacher appears. Also Horikita is a moron, it feels like she's justa stupid so that the protagonist looks smart in comparison.
boring episode!
It was a very obvious trap and the blackmail is excessive, I think that just as things are solved by accidents, this could have ended like that, but that's anime and they give free rein to the imagination too quickly.
kekeke
Also something something spoilers light novel readers etc
So blah blah kushida. so basically his idea is that, what if conveniently kushida just straight up already betrayed us, because thats the only reason apparently
I mean i dunno, the issue of class points vs private points is a thing, since ichinose has 2m, class c has their own plot and then who knows about class d. they conveniently you know forgor to tell us anything even though its literally been months since the start
even if kushida is a traitor (implying she hasnt already been "found guilty"), like the real question is what are they going to do after that. and they would need to prove it too
lol suzune is so straightforward, literally like what maybe not even a minute
i just realized, their running track doesnt have seats? thats strange
wait, so the real events are starting already? i know plot goes really fast but this is a strange feeling
this time though, its a public event, so the scores and results are more or less public
speaking of class a they sure havent been very prominent eh? its been over 4 eps already
and arisu herself hmm. she didnt really give the impression of being very sports though, since she didnt take part in the island
so is this guy going to be CONSTANTLY sabotaging class every single time? this is like the 3rd event in a row
oh look, more loopholes and physical violence in sports, so dumb
and what now, an incident with suzune? of course, one of the classics oops accident before the event
so weird to hear mr mc's first name lol
the whole thing still doesnt make sense to me, how does knowing the class list help you win? bleh
well so yeah this is a curious case. i was thinking it could/would be interesting if/when class d lost but hmm
you know the part i said about getting worse? yeah things definitely seem that way. ugh
anyway like
i get the quote is that you need to fail to learn, but its this even failing or learning
it makes me wonder though, if the other classes have tons of points, how much bribing is going on behind the scenes? we already had 2 or so cases already from class d, which tbh the only reason is because they dont have much points to actually use in the first place
so basically either its convenience or otherwise, but
because(?) its a sports event, he knows that he cant carry the class to victory singlehandedly (even in the group test he cant do everything either), so he just literally sat around, did nothing, and waited for the class to implode
i mean we've already seen mr mc manipulating suzune so who knows. suzune shrug
one thing that anime does or doesnt do is luck. everything is going according to plan, even when lucky or unlucky things happen its all written down to plot or schemes
seriously what is going on now. is this another second episode cliffhanger trap plot twist again.
i mean in any other anime i would have said innocent until proven guilty, but here kushida is like more or less already guilty somehow
Like class c has continuously been getting from bad to worse, this is just idk man.
Like way back in s1 ep 4 or so they were already meddling with class d and now this
Ok this is straight up a travesty now like what on earth
You have no idea how upset i am, as if the bullying arc wasnt bad enough now we have this
Really, we're doing point extortion now?
Like i'll be honest, people say they hate and then now you have stuff like this which is basically, its not like physical assault but its like basically the same thing
The fact that suzune's own family is antagonistic is like some kind of twisted suffering sadism thing
Like basically ntr
And you're telling me 300k people gave this a 8/10 rating?
So next episode what on earth are they going to try and salvage from this
In hindsight, this episode basically turned into the hearing arc from s1 e456, they need to find some way to convince/blackmail class c to drop the false accusation charges
Basically now its suzune who is the one being accused and how are they going to escape this?
It's also totally ridiculous, this is what, the 3rd time that class c has injured themselves just to get an advantage?
Its kind of funny how people also dislike the episode, but for opposite reasons
Ugh I’m getting cheesed at Ryuen’s scummy tactics bro is such a dirty cheater and class D stays falling for this guys antics bro🤦🏽♂️
And why isn’t Ryuen getting reported for attacking Sudo? Is it bc he’s buying his way out of trouble since you can buy anything at that school? Whatever it is it’s annoying as hell tho bc Class D just taking it up the ass ong
Ngl tho Horikita really needs to get her shit together and become the bad bitch she was in season 1 this girl is just in despair over losing one little game I liked it when Ayanokoji called her useless bc she really is useless in this festival arc😕
Worst decisions and plot in this episode so far maybe from both seasons..
Ayanokouji decisions are all wrong this time.
Kouenji should be punished somehow by class D!
Horikita so far is useless not because she losing matches, but because she doesn't use her brain.. same as Ayanokouji this time..
I bet that Ryuuen paid lots of money or his family used some tricks to get that big guy in his class.. he also is likely adult not kid..
(づ ̄ ³ ̄)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´。✪ω✪。`)
I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P
I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)
I never expected Sudo to be smart so what he did didn't come off as a surprise but I was hoping Horikita wouldn't fall into Ryuuen's trap so easily. Ayanokouji's plan gets weirder and weirder with every episode so I can't wait to see what he wants to do.
I hope we get to see more with Horikita's brother since he didn't do anything in this season.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
Ryuen's accusation is groundless, so why does Suzune care? Even if he does bring it up to the student council, it could be easily dismissed, since there's no proof it was anything other than an accidental collision. The only flagrantly obvious detail here is that he caused Saki's injury himself.
Also, if it were brought up the student council, then the president would have to be a complete moron to screw over his sister in favour of some psychotic douchebag lusting after her anyway.
So that kinoshita girl who got injured while playing, some teachers probably inspect her injuries when she was hurt while playing but now it looks like her legs got broken, isn't the teacher or the authority supposed to question how her injury became so big out of nowhere?? Or is ryuuen even buying the authority with his private point which he pulled out of his ass just like this asspull of a plot😒😒
Also kouenji should be punished by his class, he hogs the class point but never contributed to it is pissing me off. Same with sudo after all those incidents since the beginning of 1st term he still keep falling for ryuuen provocation like how dumbass can he be. Horikita is no better, ayanokoji calling her useless was incredibly satisfying cause she damm is!!! No wonder her brother treat her like some trash.
This sports festival doesn't make any sense. First half of the episode they spent showing class D get physically trashed with no concern about any rule breaking and yet all of a sudden in second half Im expected to believe that a false accusation against Horikita is supposed to carry any weight?
@akihikosama
It doesn't make any sense, makes it hard to watch when things like that are happening
