I was wondering what way they'd go about making him pass, but I guess sine the vice captain wants to keep an eye on him it makes sense he'd be assigned him.
We got to know what inspired Kafka's new teammates, and maybe surprisingly to him it was Mina.
With the announcement at the end it looks like we'll get to see them in their first mission after training.

I think they made Kafka TOO much of a loser. He honestly acts retarded 90% of the time. Dude is older than me. Wtf.

After such a horrid performance during the entrance examinations, there should be no logic to explain Kafka’s selection, like literally NO. But him being the main character and this series being uber cliche, of course he’d selected one way or the other, sigh… A BIG FUCKING SIGH. Though I like how at least they’re accepting the fact that he’s a clown, and his selection is based upon that lol.

“i sAw SOmEThInG iN HiM”, like hell you did man. Hoshina a good person, but this still can’t explain his reasons for selecting Kafka, even as a cadet lmaooooo. Anyways, when Kafka interrupted Mina and sounded like the same fucking broken record he is, that was soooooooo embarrassing. I legit got second-hand embarrassment from that lol. Though he won’t learn, and will continue to be the clown of their unit… so yeah.

Unfunny humour and Kafka being hell-bent in competing with a girl literally half his age aside, at least there’d be a fight next episode. The only thing worth looking forward to.

@Softhenic03 lol true. Only the vice-captain selected the clown, who is now aiming to remove him from that spot.

I honestly think besides the first episode, this is the best one yet. Both the humor and emotions were placed in their right spots, and the execution was flawless. Tho, I do worry about how their going to handle the death of companions, so far I don't think any of the ones close to them will perish. And I sincerely doubt this will be able to capture the emotion in what it is to loose a companion in arms. The characters are kinda sincerely scarce, and with them just introducing female two female characters that weren't a thing at the start, I fear they are rather next on the chopping block making me think the author just doesn't want to write any other female characters besides the love interests. Quite sad if you ask me. There's been no human deaths on screen thus far, so when it actually goes south, I'm expecting some really gruesome scenes.

At least Kafka got accepted, even though his results are obviously not good lol, but he's kinda popular in his group already for being different in every ways... now they don't know about his kaiju nature so we'll see, but at least they know that he's childhood friend with their leader

Let’s see. The one who laughed at him, stood up for him when it counted. They are increasing in their numbers. He speaks aloud. He is on to him. She screams out his secret in public. Their numbers are increasing. They will push each other to get better. Chilling wit da boys. They believe his story. He recommends not letting the friends get too close. It’s go time. 4

Very good episode, Kafka still has hope.... Mina smiled at him, come on Clap Clap Clap Clap.
The first statement of why they gave Kafka a thumbs up wasn't bad but now that we know the true intentions, it makes a lot more sense.
haha everyone rallied for the captain and everyone is envious of Kafka.
So he has to take the 2nd captain Hoshina's spot, I like him giving Kafka his chance.
Time for a real mission

PS: I'm going to stick with what one character said: don't get too friendly with your mates, anything can happen
