Oh no, she stole a hair clip from a billion dollar company how will they ever recover. Most unserious plotline I’ve ever read ngl. I mean that hair clip couldn’t have been more than 15 bucks, surely the mom had that?? It’s not like they were living in a shelter. Her mom’s reaction to it is so over dramatic too man like wtf
Arisu trying to use that to attack Ichinose and make everyone turn on her is hilarious “shoplifting is shoplifting” yea and no one cares π not like she stole from me. Ichinose’s earnest confession and explanation was more than enough to brush off Arisu’s attack. Not to mention the teachers and Nagumo getting involved. Still surprised Arisu came up with such a shitty plan. If anything this made people like Ichinose even more since now she’s more relatable
I love getting the little Kiyo breakdown after every big moment in this story . Like seeing how he was pulling the strings in anticipation of this moment for a while now with his visits to Ichinose. Trying to prepare her for this type of confrontation, get her to come to terms with the past and resolve to move on. Also, his agreement with Kushida to get Nagumo and the teachers involved etc
Really shows the different levels that Arisu and Kiyo are on... now the stage’s set for a more direct confrontation between them.
And the most important valentine chocolate of this arc of course comes from Ichinose who is now totally in Kiyo’s grasp. 4D chess. Another win for the goat.
All the usual complaints I have about the adaptation are there, but a decent ep

| @Marinate1016 The Hair Clip was apperently Worth a price of 200 Dollars. |
 |
Glad that was the takeaway from the write up |
 |
| So that adapts the ending of volume 9 Nagumo and Kanzaki really look lame here compared to the light novel. |
 |
| It's been a while since I had such a hard time getting through an episode, I just couldn't take it seriously. Incredibly boring. |
 |
| Ichinose who steals a ¥ 32,200 scam jewelry! Her strength of character and the depression she went through because of this incident deserve much more recognition in my opinion. In any case, it's the best episode of the season so far! |

| Another decent ep. Nothing too special and wraps up this arc. |

| Way more intriguing episode compared to last week but still kinda goofy. Ichinose was the center of attention as she shared her backstory about the crime she committed. The crime? Shoplifting... It was way overblown, in my opinion. There was so much drama over that, and sure, shoplifting is still a crime, but damn. I guess a crime like that is big in Japan? |
 |
| Bruhhh i thought she killed someone in the past LMAO I think this is the first time i saw a drama for shoplifter in Anime. |
 |
| just finished it, and yeah its the best ep so far of the season. |

I see. Shoplifting is ultra bad.
Overworking yourself to hospital bed with more bills to pay is fine.
Explaining own daughter how much artificially inflated 32000 yen price versus actual trinket value is and setting on another reasonable present is bad idea.
Better to ruin family than actually talk reality.
P.S. Barging another class and making threats is fine.
Beating each other is fine. Triggering expulsion is fine. Using points for shady things is fine.
Posting rumors on BBS compromises school morale standards.

| @geptor It highlights how much Mental Health is disregarded in comparison to saving face, something very common in Japan. It's objectively bad parenting to make your kid depressed for half a year over something that could of been dealt with lessons learned in a week tbh. |
| bitch ass Arisu Sakayanagi THAT WAS LIKE ALL IN THE PAST WHO CARES KEK |
| While calling what Ichinose did an "unforgivable crime" may be a bit too much, I can see how bad it may have been for her and her family. Thankfully, Class B is pretty united and with Ichinose sincerely opening up to her classmates it all ended well. Ichinose, my beloved. And to think there was a time when I was a little suspicious about her obscene amount of points in the first season. Easily my best girl so far (with a little bias for Nao Touyama of course haha). That last scene with her giving Valentine chocolates to Ayano was cute. I liked seeing Hiyori leading class D xD. Sakayanagi needs correction. |
| That was a moving flashback. Ichinose shoplifted, but her coming clean and asking for forgiveness was the right thing to do. Ayanokoji played the game well. |
 |
| #LockHerUp π Seriously though... while it is understandable that having a low crime rate and certain cultural values Japanese would perceive even a petty crime like theft differently from other countries, what took me out of the loop for this episode was how this whole charade was presented to the audience. It was a bit too melodramatic for my taste, to the point that I felt like it was unintentionally hilarious at times. Can't blame how some of the previous posts even compared this episode being straight out of a cheap soap opera. |
Again I’m glad that’s what you took away from the write up |
|
| Our boi Ayanokoji playing 4D chess by tormenting girls by guilt tripping then in order to make them strong they need to be. Truly a chad! I like how people in this thread have absolutely no idea about Japanese culture and their approach to crime. π€£ I know people in Murica' will make a bullshit excuses like "just a poor Alladin with golden heart stealing bread to feed starving family" (something that dumb leftists in the west are saying unitonically to describe greedy, opportunistic criminals), but in Japan it's a really big deal, which can potentially completely ruin someone's reputation. |

I dont know why, but I just cringed during the entire first 5 minutes. Really the entire episode.
Something about these characters behaving as if ChatGPT has written them makes it feel so weird.
If someone from a different class went into my classroom and just accused me of beeing a criminal I couldnt help but double down on it, pretend to be some crime lord in the cringiest way possible. Have you heard, I did not pay to watch that anime which never got licensed in my country. Some shit like that. They are what 16?
320€ for a hair clip?!! Who is the real criminal here??
The imouto is what.. 10? If I told my parents I wanted some idol shit for 320€ at 10 yo they would have probably put me up for adoption.
That beeing said the backstory was sad, I felt bad for them.
Why is she acting as if she sold nuclear secrets to North Korea though? She shoplifted in a massive store which definitely has insurance, as a kid. Nobody cares. Why is nobody telling her the truth? Nobody cares.
Same with the A class girl, "My job here is done - But you didnt do anything!" Sailor moon meme.

| @Comander-07 If I had been in that class I would have pushed that annoying little girl out of the class whilst doing my best Stephen Smith impression "We Don't Care, we don't care" and if any of her sidekicks intervened it would be followed by a swift kick to a shin. And yeah, a friggin hair pin. I know Japan has a different moral code but yeezus. |
| Lmao so dramatic just because of a hair clip. Imagine being depressed for months just because you stole something like that π |

| nice episode. another girl interested in the cool, edgy, expressionless ayanokoji who knows exactly what to say in every situation to win someone's trust and get on their good side. i was very happy when the ichinose thing resolved so nicely only to find out sakayanagi doesn't give a shit about ichinose and only cares about having exciting competitions with ayanokoji. bruh. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| I still don't understand why they all treat stealing something as if she murdered someone |
 |
| omg this episode telling about ichinose is very lovely to watch !! |
| Rumours, trust, deceit... Lots of things going on. Nice to see Honami giving a handmade chocolate to my boy. Also nice ending. |
 |
| Huh actually a pretty decent episode, way better than any of the previous episodes thus far. I thought Kushida's past in the second season was stupid as hell, so I'm surprised I ended up enjoying Ichinose's past. A little dramatic at times, but not nearly as much as compared to some of the other events that occurred in this show. On the other hand, I think the execution of Ichinose's reveal was too dramatized, even though Sakayanagi did it on purpose and it all helped Ichinose in the long-run - the way Sakayanagi barged into another classroom and insisted on Ichinose getting due punishment on something that's literally none of her business, considering even the shop owners already forgave Ichinose....bruh. Wish I could smack that smug smirk off her face. Not surprising, but Ichinose is the next one getting added to Ayankoji's harem. But congratulations, Clasroom of the Elite, after three seasons there's finally a character that exists in this show that I find likeable. Never thought the day would come. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Now we know Ichinose's past, which involves stealing a hairpin as a gift for her brother when her mother fell ill. Her mother, upon finding out, got upset with Ichinose. Is that all? Well, it's a crime, but it's not that big of a deal. I'm not justifying it, but it's a bit of Japanese culture in those reactions. In the end, Sakayanagi's true plan was to involve Ayanokouji in Ichinose's problem, helping her resolve and confess her past issues. This aims to make Ichinose fall in love with Ayanokouji (a new tool). Also, Ayanokouji's real plan in all this is to get Kushida expelled (about time). |
 |
| That's too much drama over Honami's shoplifting, but at least Honami herself did acknowledge her wrong-doings to others. This episode did justice in giving her some development there. We even got a new ED this time, which portrays her background pretty well. |
