Man, this was so hard to watch. It was like one of those NTR stories I always avoid... I cried. And as I thought, the fact that the cheerleading squad didn't have eyes was an Ishigami thing. It was so great when they finally revealed their full faces... and it was so great when Tsubame cried for Ishigami... without eyes.

This is already one of my favorite series ever but it keeps getting better with each episode, it's just amazing.

Perhaps to present it to us as an Ishigami POV unlike the manga where we know the actual background of the story as to why Ishii was allowed in the Shuchiin high school. The Iino segment was moved to the previous episode as an Koba-chan POV for example unlike the manga.



First post and you say the truth!

Maybe they are gonna provide more context about the omitted parts in the next episode? they have been faithful to the adaptation so far, so i do hope they included those important parts as well.


Well, I can only hope.

MIYUKI CHADOGANE saving lives again, he pulled Ishigami when he was in depression (also helping Miko to speak in public and was able to melt Iceguya and taking her to see the fireworks which she wanted to see it badly) That scene when he walked towards ishigami and wrote that was so powerful.


Moments like these add up in the story and justifies why Kaguya is head over heels for him.

This hit me so hard in the feels.

For the sake of comparison, I just quickly re-read the chapters from the manga. They probably could have taken 10 seconds or something to show a small bit of how the student council members all had a part in getting Ishigami there. Noticing that they went without the OP maybe they were short on time, who knows. It troubles me a little because it isn't the first time they skip some character develeopment scenes, which are where Kaguya-sama is best imo.
Still, the episode was equally enjoyable nonetheless, actually one of the best. So, Idk if I should even care about this nitpicky stuff when the enjoyment is 10/10.

Sticking your neck out for someone else and it backfiring, teachers getting on your ass when they don't know jack shit while the true bad guy gets away scott free . God, school was fucking horrible, and this episode reminded me of it to an uncomfortable degree. (nothing against the episode, it makes it a good episode but also made it hard to watch as it got me mad).

I waited a long time for this episode to get animated, and oh boy, as the rest of this adaptation, the delivery was incredible.

This arc was the point where Kaguya went from one of my favorite works to pretty much my number 1 ever, and confirmed my expectations that Ishigami and Miyuki would be at the top of my favorite guys for a long long time, so far nothing changed my mind and this was a great reminder of how I felt back then, just incredible!

Yeah but it only has 224 votes. Not enough sample size overall.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

Yeah. At this point of time, this was truly the GOAT episode of the series. It's crazy that the remainder just got better. I mean we haven't even anything of Maki yet. And Haysaka is pretty much non-existent compared to the rest of the story that would follow. And then this adorable sweet thing:

Now anime onlys know why we just don't like but LOVE Ishigami, and I hope the manga gets a full adaptation, because even hotter and spicier things are yet to come, it's a shame that many manga panels were removed and I hope we can see them in the next episode or something.

tears were streaming down my face the whole way through. i had been through the exact same thing as ishigami and it felt so powerful when he had a friend to help him push through it. i was expecting to watch more kaguya and shirogane banter but instead I was put through such an emotional story. this episode just elevated this anime from a 9 to a 10 for me, my god!

Learning about Ishigami's story was a tear-jerker. Man tried to protect the girl he barely knew about and got stabbed in the back for it. Shirogane the savior to Ishigami. His view on other people has finally changed and my boy actually looks at people now.

This episode was relatable as heck for me, as I went through a similar situation when I was 15. If I had to tell why Ishigami is my favourite character, this would be the reason, because he's damn relatable. His love for videogames and his hair were relatable for me too back in the day.

Anyway, the best episode so far. I love Ishigami and how he stood up for himself. "Go to hell, dumbass"!

Really enjoyed the visualization of Ishigami finally taking the step forward and finally seeing the faces of the people in front of him. Very similar to the scene if A Silent Voice.

Though can't say I'm a fan of how it ended up with Otomo. Would have preferred if she didn't stay so ignorant of the matter.

Well, look like I'll be the first one to say this, but what Ishigami did in his middle school is not justice, it's another violence. Yes, I understand that he was not understand what is the right concept of justice in middle school, and I hope he understand that by now that he can do 'better' for this kind of situation, there's an appropriate action he can take.


Regarding your concern about this matter, don't worry it will get addressed again in the manga's current arc

Since I'm an anime only and the episode was kinda rushed I'm confused about the timeline.

When did the student council investigate Ishigami's incident, was it before he even joined the student council?

What a tragically great story, Being like ishigami never ends well normally you just do something with only misery in the end, though for this story he realized how to move on from such a thing. But yeah he cared to much to begin with but it was worth it.

oh damn, this episode was great.
Ishigami backstory, poor boy he was framed as a stalker he didn't even try to clear his name. I hope that the other guy suffers.
Shirogane coming in to save Ishigami, IDK why but I feel like Shirogane is really underrated more people need to appreciate his character more. Chadogane
I also hope someone tells Kyoko the truth too.
