Many thoughts but it was a good episode, I especially loved how they animated that Ryo+Momo segment, it gave me chills- Ryo ASMR is not something I expected nor needed!!

Sad that there was no opening this week, so another wait for next week... but the episode was still good!!

Wow this episode felt really long. Lots of politics going on with the different agencies.

That conversation between Banri and Takanashi-san seemed to be foreshadowing whatever is going to cause Trigger to fall, which we learned is gonna happen from the prev ep.(/。\) and Minami/Ryo/Kujo all suggesting i7's fall aaaa

I really feel for Yamato, considering he's the leader and also the oldest, but now he's got this scandal hanging over the group that he's come to love :(

Iori rudely calling Kujo ojisan was excellent haha


thanks to my lovely Secret Elf Santa
for the forum set~

Has Chiba Salon been mentioned before? I feel like I'm forgetting some important piece of information lol.

But either way damn, lots of stuff happening this ep. As if having the creepy Kujo was bad enough now there's Ryo and the white-haired dude, who have some obvious malicious intentions. On top of that Ryo is trying to use Momo to target Yamato oh geez.

And then there's still the encounter with Tenn and the teal hair coloured dude which didn't get any continuation this ep. Wonder what the follow up is

Iori x Hanamaki when? huehuehuehuehuehuehe

Nope, it just came out of nowhere this season. They're eventually going to explain what it is.

Man, Ryo was already creepy in the game, but they're doing such a good work with him in the anime.

Oh, this ep gave me the chills. As a game player, I freakin' love this franchise and it's so nice to see how they are putting all the pieces together.

Banri's fanservice. Ryo's creepiness, Iori's promise, Kujo's foreshadowing, Minami's sharp words and Yamato's guilt...

The ED is really good.

I don't think its name has been directly mentioned, but we've been told in previous seasons that:
1. Yamato's motivation to become an idol is "revenge" and he hates the industry intensely.
2. Yamato is Chiba Shizuo's estranged son and Yamato doesn't like him for some reason.
3. Chiba Shizuo is known for being a devoted husband/family man but Yamato feels otherwise (it's implied from his unhappy expression whenever they talk about Chiba).

Ep 1 revealed that whatever Chiba Salon is, it's the reason for Yamato's behaviour. A. It's what Yamato planned on using as his revenge on the industry by exposing it and creating a huge scandal, B. It will destroy the family man image that Chiba has, and C. It's the unspoken elephant in the room among the entire entertainment industry.

Absolutely loved this episode and I can’t wait to see more! Also, does anyone know the song that’s playing in the background when Ryo and Momo are talking?

The episode was so good. I see we are in for an emotional roller coaster. I am so glad Yamato at least asked Iori about his opinion. At first to him it was a road to a successful revenge but now he found a family he wants to protect. Iori mentioned they gonna attack first so I am looking forward to see how they gonna manage to do so.

Ryo delivered his malicious intent perfectly and clearly. That was indeed a great scene. He also looked fine in that apron so I just don't know how come he is a chef and a professional psychopath. I really don't want Momo to sell his soul to the devil by doing what Ryo asked .-.

What Yuki said about human relationship is so relatable. Humans are fine, the exhausting part is the human relationships.

Banri looked really good. We demand more manager Banri scenes hehe

I like how Yamato is important in this season after the amazing buildup of his backstory and issues from the first 2 seasons! Can't wait for the next episode!

PD: anyone knows how many episodes in total?

I thought Kujo was the weirdest guy on this show but Ryo has him beat. I hate him already. Natsume also gives me bad vibes as well.

Natsume and Ryo are even more creepier and Kujo.
