This was an awesome episode. Aside from the mystery building around Keith, I wonder how Shiroe managed to pass his Adult Examination?

Suena telling Keith n Sam about her marriage kinda annoyed me...

Keith has it right, if it's a decision that Suena made then who is he to persuade her... It's just completely unrealistic.

They always seem to have to include some character that has to go over the top about everything in each anime...

That kid needs to get the snot kicked out of him. His obsession with Keith is ridiculous no matter who or what Keith may be.

so am i wrong to assume that the purpose of the adult exam, or at least what was made public, is to weed out the Mu population from the Human population?

if so, then why is it that Shiroe didn't get gonged, bagged and sent through the grinder like every other supposed Mu?

am i missing something here?

Hrmmmm, so Suena loved Keith but gave up without ever telling him and instead almost holding it against him for not noticing despite her always trying to hid her feelings . . . Seems legit. Anyways I am wondering why Shiroe hasn't awakened yet, I thought they woke up when they were young.

He's annoying as a kid and he's annoying as a teenager.

So why didn't that brat get purged? Hope he dies a very violent death soon. He's ruining this series.

I was a bit surprised by the time skip. It's good to see Shiroe again & how these character's paths are intertwining for the bigger picture. It really is depressing that Suena lost not only Jomy, but gave up on Keith as well.

Shiroe is one annoying little brat; hope we don't see too much of him.

Normally I strongly dislike Time Skips, but this was done relatively well and led to probably the best episode so far. Echoes of Ender's Game here with the whole competition and grading system to try to be an Elite.

Nice touch with the Sueno unrequited feelings bit, sad though that she seemingly got hitched and will no longer play a part in the show, but i guess this isn't a romance subgenre for a reason. I do like Keith's attitude of not giving a damn, but I do feel a bit bad for him since it wasn't his choice to be indifferent/oblivious to the opposite gender along with numerous other "human" like qualities.

Shireo has a lot of "swag" and rage inducing snarkiness so i think it's a nice touch. He was already a pretty bad ass Super Saiyan at just 10 years old where he stood up to Jomi, so not too far fetched a transition. That being said it is surprising that his powers didn't get revealed and that he seemingly maintained even more memories than Sueno and Sam.

a time skip, not a fan of those but i'll deal with it

looks like Keith is super smart but has emotions of a robot. i wonder if that'll change as episodes go on or if it's just the way he is

and i actually don't hate Shiroe, he has a good point about Keith. and he was finally able to get an emotion out of Keith. but it really is interesting how he doesn't have as many emotions or memories, i wonder what he's hiding.

i have the same question...how in the world did they not find out he's Mu. i thought they improved the examination system as well

My guess with Shiroe is that he got through the exam because his important dad pulled strings in the system. Though I'm confused why he's having a recurring nightmare of the Adult Exam. Maybe he just straight up resisted the memory wipe on his own but it's having a PTSD effect on him afterward?

Regardless, I hate that brat. He had his chance to go with Jomy but threw a tantrum instead (although Jomy could've handled the situation better)
