THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Damn, I feel bad for Sakura getting involved in this a lot more now.
The part where she realizes there's a stalker following her made it creepy.

I'm glad to see Ayanokoji and Horikita making some good out of all this drama though. I don't think they realize it but they can make a good team when working on the same page.

1 word to describe this episode...
DAMN....
That last part tho ''I'll help you rank up to class A.. but dont investigate me'' with the BGM suddenly going off (even the raindrops stopped making sounds) and straight on his eyes... Jesus the chills (and a lot thought this guy was like Hiki... hell nah, Hikki aint badass)

No Kushida this episode, and a lot of Horikita.
Sakura almost got raped, cashier guy was a sore loser, the moment Sakura told him off he went ''you ugly! ugly ugly ugly!''
That moment when Ayanokoji held cashier guy's shoulders and told him ''your life's over (not exactly his life, but his society life)'' was great, for a second I thought he was gonna sucker punch the guy.

Well played Ayanokoji... you literally played everyone, and Im sure you'll continue to play all of them.

AOTS right here. Anyone knows how many eps this gets?

Poor Sakura had such a shitty experience :(

Thankfully Ayanokoji came to the rescue and REKT that freak just like how he REKT those damn bullies on that Class C asshole's payroll (That was freaking awesome)

But man I wish that this episode didn't end....I wanna know more about Ayanokoji's backstory so badly right now >.< That final scene sent chills down my spine especially when we saw that brief glimpse of his past.....This guy is hardcore

Overall, another pretty good episode and I kinda ship best girl Sakura with Ayanokoji now lol

Horikita and Ayanokoji managed to save to the class. But I felt bad for Sakura, that employee was assaulted her. Well his life is over now thanks to Ayanokoji.

That ending, Ayanokoji's face went dark real quick. After seeing a glimpse of his past, I just want to learn more.

That sudden flashback blew me away, and it looked like they were in some sort of lab or facility. My guess is that Ayanokoji wants to help Horikita and others after being a bystander as shown in his past. Suddenly 7 days feels like 70, can't wait for the next ep!

Wow, in 24 minutes they solved most of the Class D's personal problems: Sudo's framing (which was a good time for Horikita to show she can also come up with real shit, seriously, i liked how they made them think their actions had been filmed and the reason they came up to explain why they didn't take part in the decision kinda reminded me to Danganronpa, where despite being cameras everywhere, they aren't used as evidence, for obvious reasons) and Sakura's shyness, leading to a fresh character development and problems with the cashier (who was a complete idiot, btw, definitely deserved it). Not only that, we finally get a glimpse of Akanokouji's past, which almost explains why he seems like he doesn't give a fuck.
In conclusion, it was a really great episode, i hope we get to see Ayanokouji's past in more detail and how does he cope with those thugs from Class C

No I don't understand! You snap at people, you're scary, you tried to eat me, but you're also kind and you're filled with life!
You gave me a name when I was a number, you gave me that compass, you taught me what it means to be alive!
That's why I care about you Velvet! I'll protect you for my own sake. I don't care if you're malevolent, or if it was pointless! If it's a mistake to love you, then I"ll fight the whole world! A world without you, Velvet, is the one thing I couldn't bear!

It's pretty hard to find a show like this..when the guy gets more likes than heroine..Of course, Ayanokouji-kun deserved it!

When the anime passes the LN translation..i assume that this's just near the end of vol.2?

And we get Sakura, aka the first heroine candidate for MC. xD

Glad that this 'Danganronpa' arc's ending now...

The ending's quite dark, just like anime itself. This show needs 'psychological' > 'romance' but if they can balance it together..that'll be nice!

Want to know more about the backstory of him in facility/lab that looks like coming from Assasination Classroom :O (with the same studio!!)

Lerche always colour the eye of every badass MC...like that glowing in the dark eye so much ;P

Great episode.

Totally loved how Horikita and Ayanakoji setup those C class punks and completely wrecked them in that confrontation. Glad the Sudo stuff is cleared up now.

Was really hard to watch the part where that guy assaulted Sakura, I loved how Ayanakoji just walked up behind and totally wrecked that guy by saying his life was over.

The conversation with the teacher shrouds Ayanakoji in even more mystery, I have no clue what his motivations or goals are in this entire ordeal where he seems to be playing everyone. Really wanna learn more about his backstory.

That last scene where he said don't pry into my life was badass.

Horikita and Ayanokoji managed to save to their class. The guys from Class C withdrew their complaint. Poor Sakura, getting assaulted by the store clerk. His life is over now thanks to Ayanokoji. That guy was pathetic. Ayanokoji's face went dark real quick at the end. He doesn't his life to be pried. Got to see a glimpse of his past. I want to know more about him.

I wouldn't say he is "badass"... he is just really emotionally detached - the real question is was he always like this or is it because of his past? Does he secretly agree and actually enjoy the mentality of survival of the fittest implemented in his childhood? I feel like he has his own reasons for getting "Class A" status. The ending scene where he gave her that look gave me the vibe of "Get in my way, and I'll crush you." He really doesn't care about her at all, or at least that's the impression I got.

Edit: When I say he is really emotionally detached, I mean that in the sense that he is a monster. Usually, people that are emotionally detached are depressed and/or want to change deep down. But his detachment doesn't make him feel that. He is truly numb. He is either scarred mentally OR he was always a monster. For example, Hachiman was detached, but he also wanted something genuine. Ayanokoji is different because he most likely feels no remorse, etc. A true "sociopath" by definition. Again, this is merely the impression I got.

Ayanokoji is an intelligent, cold and calculating bastard. The teacher and the student council president already saw through him.

Horikita's pride, however, may have suffered a fatal blow by noticing she was played. Don't mess with Ayanokoji.

Men, just because u were poor. U cant tax a girl to buy a pair of camera. Welldone, or i should say chou chou well done. Damn it, he's simply a puppet master. Even horikita realized being "directed" by.

"Dont pry into my life" But yeah,i cant disagree, i hate the most someone's like that. i respect koji very much now, he knows where he stands, as a "friend". and he havent told a single lie yet.

Actually i wanted he remained low profiled until late episode, well it was fine . Since it was only horikita.

So far, i could only tell that the romance part is definitely not the main focus. Only sakura that already had a fair development. and that was the best part, i dont like romance tbh.

i feel really sorry for those who cant find this series as a nice catch. Things just got started

Holy fuck, this show is much much darker than I expected. Wow this episode really changed my perspective...Great episode.

And Ayanokoji's plan was to let Horikita come up with that plan? That is genius to be able to do that. And his past, looks like this show will have potential to get violent and psychological.

They are adapting 3 Anime episode per 1 LN Volume.
Assuming a total of 12 episodes, Lerche have two ways to go around this:
1. 3 episode for volume 3 and 3 episode for volume 4
2. 5 or 6 episode for volume 3 and maybe 1 episode for an anime only closing episode

Lerche will most likely goes with option 1, but most LN fans will definitely want option 2.
Volume 3 is just too good to be rushed with 3 episodes....

I wonder why no one is discussing the meeting between class c and class a. There's obviously something going down with those two and the obvious route would be to alliance to take down d and b. Alrhough since Ayanokoji has friends in class b, it'll probably end up witth an inter-class war. And what their teacher said about Ayanokoji being the most defective among class d, I wonder where that's gonna go. Just something to think about at the dinner table.

Finally they took down those Class C losers. However, it looks like Class C isn't backing down yet based on their meeting with the girl with the cane.

I knew that creep from the camera store was the one stalking Sakura. Thankfully Ayanokoji showed up and basically ruined that guy's life.

The end of the episode though, holy shit. The mystery behind Ayanokoji and who he is has been teased quite frequently, but now I really want to learn more about him. That look that he gave Horikita was scary, he clearly isn't fucking around with maintaining his privacy.

Well, it's good to see the false accusation story and Sakura's character arc off to a satisfying conclusion. That attempted rape wouldn't feel out of place in a police procedural. I have mixed feelings with Kiyotaka's secret backstory, but hopefully, the series will handle it in an enjoyable way.

Also what are they trying to do with all these French quotes in the beginning. Do they think it's like artzy or something... lmao

Ooh, that ending really said a lot about our MC. This is going to get good. Question is if the school knows about his origins?

Poor Sakura. It must be traumatic to be assaulted like that by a predator.

That was a crazy episode, the animation was also better than usual.

That fucking stalker attempting to rape Sakura, my goodness. Ayanokouji coming in to save the day and acting really nice towards her. That's nice to see.

Him and Horikita orchestrating the whole camera ploy. He has a hand in everything and seems to be just a mastermind everywhere.

And then the bombshell that he might be a lab rat (?). And he actually showed a bit of emotion towards Horikita once she was prying, he was not having it o_O

So interested now, even more than before.

Damm it!!! Soooo gooood

We finally got to see the other side of Ayaniokouji. And I really like the emphasis on the eyes and the shadow of the umbrella on the last scene. Really made him look "empty" but threatening.
Also we sort of understood why he wanted to help people, and especially Sakura.

The confrontation between Ryuuen and Sakayanagi also helped spicing up the episode.

Just hope they don't blow it with some stupid love story between Ayaniokouji and Sakura.

Can't wait for next week ^^

Ps: I kinda want to see Ayaniokouji go solo and reach for class A and aim for Student Council President without Horikita. She's so clueless, always thinking she's better than everyone and yet she's so far behind him. Finally she got a hint.

Want a good dark MC so bad :(

WOW! Another great episode, this anime has turned out to be a very good one.

As always, Ayanokoji is brilliant but I don't get why he is hiding his brilliance. Ayanokoji saved Sakura and Ichinose played a part in it too. Seems like Ayanokoji was experimented on or something when he was a kid.

Ayanokoji is shrouded in mystery and his face looked so threatening when he asked Horikita too not look into his life.
