snowwolf163 said: Kei getting tortured is even worse than in the LN. Jesus Christ, it's so hard to watch. But if they can go this far, why the hell, in episode 3, does they tone Kiyo's action down? In my opinion, after episode 7, the episode keeps getting better, especially with the art quality and the pacing. There are still cut scenes, but it's not as important as the adapted scenes so it's understandable with the limited time they have. Overall, it's a really good episode. 11/10 for me. How was it in the LN? I'm curious. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| Things this episode got right: -DRAGON BOY Things it missed (some of them, anyway) -LITTLE GIRL -The opening monologue from Ayanokouji saying why he came to this school -Ex-president Horikita coming to Ayanokouji for help in taking down Nagumo (this scene could probably relocated anywhere else, maybe at the start of season 3, but they might have intended to skip over it entirely since it all boils down to getting Suzune Horikita into the student council and manipulating her from there. And that is all summed up when they meet at the construction building before going in to save Karuizawa, when Manabu asks Ayanokouji to honor their agreement. Which is something they also left out- Ayanokouji and Chabashira-sensei just talking about points and what they really mean at this school, and THEN Manabu was supposed to arrive. No biggy, but the re-arangement feels slightly awkward imo) -Forgot if this was in this episode or the last one, but when they see Ichinose and Sakayanagi together, Ichinose actually notices Ayanokouji and his group and comes to talk with them for a bit, with Sakayanagi by her side. -Horikita and Sudou actually pick up the broken shards of glass from Kouenji's mirror which Ryuuen smashed on the ground. Call it some pretty substantial character development in terms of humility. -NOT having so many character off-models despite it just being characters standing around talking with little to no motion aside from Ryuuen's flying high kick attack at Sakayanagi -Ryuuen's torture of Karuizawa was more methodical rather than mindless then it may have seemed. For example, he was initially trying to gauge the strength of the relationship between Karuizawa and the mastermind before going any further. -Ishizaki dumps full loads of water buckets on Karuizawa all at once, rather than the slow trickling of water bottles which we see here. However, the anime does decide to add water-boarding here. -Ibuki and Ishizaki, ESPECIALLY Ibuki, actually show quite a lot of hesitation and resistance even to Ryuuen when seeing that he intends to torture Karuizawa. -Chapter 5.3 is a PoV from Karuizawa as she is getting mercilessly drenched in water. We get but a hint of it here in the anime, but if you actually read it, you'll mostly get the full extent of the bullying she endured in her previous school. ----- Again, while the anime doesn't leave out anything ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL or important, there's things that could've make these scenes even more well-rounded. In any case, I'm just really glad that they kept in Karuizawa standing up for herself. Despite realizing that Ayanokouji lied to her this whole time, she decides to not let her name leave her mouth- not for his sake in particular, but because she decided it was finally time to stand up for herself and hold her ground. |

| Man poor kei she doesnt deserve any of this :( |
 |
| Poor Karuizawa, doing all of this for a person who does not even care about her. |
| The r ape is real. I don't feel like there is a plan here. |
 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. |
| I agree with Sakayanagi, dragon boy is a great nickname for Ryuen. I didn't expect to see Karuizawa to get waterboarded. That went way further than I expected. |

| This episode has the cringiest scenes I have ever seen in an anime. The story took a dip for me in this episode. Basically Ryuen can do whatever he wants, but blackmails other people for doing similar things. I don't know how many more times this will repeat. He dominates his entire class with violence, frames Sudo, injures Suzune, then frames Suzune in the same incident, now blackmails Kei, then tortures Kei. He does not belong to a school, he belongs to a juvenile prison. There is a limit to suspension of disbelief. The story is just bad if they want us to think such a school is interesting. I am stupid for believing this was going to be a good anime after watching Season 1. Rukodaime91 said: Anyway, this episode is just sad. Not for me. Not for Kei. I meant, for the author. Don't worry, I understand. His story is boring, his test is boring, his character are not interesting, so, what you gonna do ? Well, you turn to violence. To bullying. When you're unable to come up with anything smart, you have to go for the cliché stuff. I didn't expect much from this author but he reached a new low. Ryusen should have been expulsed since 15 episodes ago. And please, remember, we're talking about a school which is supposed to build "elite people". The only thing we have seen are "shitty" people. And useless teacher who are not even able to notice a single thing (and useless student who don't report anything). There is not a single valuable reason to torture a single person just so you can find out who is the "mastermind". It's not about testing "the school", it's testing about how dumb the reader can be to accept this pitiful non-sense. Congrats, Classroom of Elite. You are so bad, you just got my first 1/10 after 15 years of anime... Having pathetic dumb test was not enough, you had to include torturing a student for "finding out" who is the mastermind ? Classroom of Elite is, in comparison with his rating, the worst hyped anime ever. And people who have Ryuuen as a favorite character, I hope, you just forgot to remove him... I couldn't have said it better. |

| Waterboarding is a form of torture in which water is poured over a cloth covering the face and breathing passages of an immobilized captive, causing the person to experience the sensation of drowning. In the most common method of waterboarding, the captive's face is covered with cloth or some other thin material and immobilized on their back at an incline of 10 to 20 degrees. Torturers pour water onto the face over the breathing passages, causing an almost immediate gag reflex and creating a drowning sensation for the captive. Normally, water is poured intermittently to prevent death. However, if the water is poured uninterruptedly it will lead to death by asphyxia, also called dry drowning. Waterboarding can cause extreme pain, damage to lungs, brain damage from oxygen deprivation, other physical injuries including broken bones due to struggling against restraints, and lasting psychological damage. Adverse physical effects can last for months, and psychological effects for years. The term "water board torture" appeared in press reports as early as 1976. Waterboarding has been used in diverse places and at various points in history, including the Spanish and Flemish Inquisitions, by the United States military during the Philippine–American War, by Japanese and German officials during World War II, by the French in the Algerian War, by the U.S. during the Vietnam War (despite a ban on the practice by U.S. generals),by the Pinochet regime in Chile, by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, by British security forces during the Troubles, and by South African police during the Apartheid era. In the wake of World War II, the U.S. executed Japanese war criminals convicted of, among other crimes, waterboarding American prisoners of war. Historically, waterboarding has been viewed as an especially severe form of torture. |
| Wow, poor Kei. That school takes pride in nurturing students huh? What a joke. Imagine being able to get away with ACTUAL crimes at a school. I'm pretty sure that's just teaching you ways to evade crimes once you head into society. Props to Kei though, not giving up easily. Although the decision to experience ACTUAL torture versus having the fact that you were bullied revealed baffles me. |
Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| People like Kakeru needs to find a hobby instead of wasting their lives over such things. lol Poor Kei. Her love for Kiyotaka is as strong as her loyalty. We'll see if she'll break eventually. |
| Ryuen is such a shitty character, he can just do whatever he wants, like kick people in camera range or waterboard someone and no punishment whatsoever. It's not interesting if the enemy just gets away with everything, it's just stupid. |
| Violent episode, it was bullying or worst!!! kekeke |
| Kouenji part was unexpected, but should have been written better.. he should have been forced to show his true self, I rly dislike Kouenji Rokusuke most of any character in this anime, this was his chance to redeem himself and author failed that.. This anime is strange.. kinda trying to be something else but at the same time is wasting its time to shine... I didn't expect Karuizawa to be so strong and to be so important character for the story! but the whole bullying thing is kinda funny with this water spraying.. like some chinese tortures? it would be better and scarier if they didn;t show it at all |

| (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 ;) |
| This is too much, I hope it goes a direction where he get expelled for what he did. |
| Too much torture BS in season 2. I hope they don't spend the entire 24 minutes of the next episode just destroying Karuizawa. I really do not need to see that. |

| Wow, everything is picking up in this episode. Finally Kouenji became relevant, and he was great, but he still didn't become important. Nice scene nonetheless, although I don't get why Ryuuen hates the nickname since I don't remember every hearing people call him that before. But that last part, I really feel bad for Kei but why did she go there in the first place without telling Ayanokouji. The torture really was a lot and it doesnt look like it's stopping so I wonder exactly how it is going to stop. Next episode will be very interesting. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Ryuen's plot armour is something else. It's fortunate that the security cameras in the construction site weren't manned, had no motion-sensors, and weren't live-streamed to a PC or phone; because with Ryuen and his flunkies not bothering to wear any masks to disguise their identity (for whatever reason) when they vandalised the cameras, that'd be a pretty careless thing to do. This guy just runs around assaulting and kidnapping everyone in broad daylight, while simultaneously threatening to get others expelled over trivialities they didn't even commit. It perplexes me that Kei thought the most intelligent course of action was to follow the biggest psycho in the school to an abandoned construction site to begin with, especially when everyone and their mother knows he just gets away with everything anyway. |

| I always loved the way ryuen says "suzune" (sub). Plus, the confrontation between koenji and ryuen was great. Unlike most people, I don't dislike ryuen at all, sure he's an ahole but fun to watch. |
| i have just one single question, for which i didnt find an answer for all forum posts alongside the eps 6-11 discussions. (correct me if i m wrong, i really want to read / know about it). maybe i missed it, easy, but. how Ryuuen sends a mail to "mastermind" and how kiyotaka is able to get this message? i mean, there has to be an email / telephone number to which you send a message, aint it? and kiyotaka answers annonymously, i dont get it. brighten me please xP |
   |
| My girl Karuizawa just kept takin Ls back to back give her a break alr damn. Ryuen is such an hass lol. |
 |
| Arisu and Ryuen have an intriguing dynamic, or is she like that with others, too? Damn, he gonna chill with his new study group while Kei literally gets waterboarded. |
