Very good Ishigami episode. It sucks that he couldn't fix the misunderstandings between him and Ootomo, and she still thinks of him as a scumbag. Anyway, I'm glad to see he could move on, and maybe he'll get lucky with Iino down the line.

Broo Ishigami's backstory is fucking crazy bro. Hero turned anti-hero kinda thing, feel kinda bad tho he could have been with Kyoko Otomo if it wasn't for that asshole but on the bright side he dodged a red flag in a sense. And it's so awesome how Shirogane busted him out from his depression and internal conflict after how he fucked that guy up. This writing is some good shit. Although Ishigami and team red didn't win the relay race, contrary to what I expected in a story and scene like this, that served as a bridge and gateway to changing his outlook on life, realising that he had people who believed in him, had faith in him, and supported him for once in a really long time. And Kaguya really pulled out the "He really is quite cute" for Ishigami lmfao
Terrific episode!

Kaguya-sama: Love is War made one fo my favorite episodes of anime ever. I'm still emotionally shaken from the pace change...but it sure was a welcome one from an unlikely source...I'm now cheering for Ishigami forever!

This episode brought me to tears. It's a masterclass in character writing and made me appreciate the series far more than I already had.

Ishigami had an absolutely gut-wrenching past. He was just hopeless, because at the same time, he wanted to protect her, but also wanted to spill everything. He doesn't think that anything is good here, until he looks up and sees the eyes of his pals in Cheerleading and realizes they're "good people". That absolutely brought me sobbing. Easily one of the most beautiful in this show.

At last some focus on Ishigami's history.
Always interesting and sad to see how easily highschool can shape a person, be it for better or worse. - I think we can all relate in some way.
Ishigami was always a bit of an outcast but to see how an event of trying to help a person (though through the wrong means) completely changed his future is sad to see.

Beautiful to see Miyuki and the crew being aware of this issue and finding out what was going on back then.

Strong episode and a well deserved focus on Ishigami for it's entirety.

Extremely conflicted about what i think about all of this... especially after reading previous comments, hinting that some manga-only details that would have made it more enjoyable have been cut in adaptation.

Obviously i have never become violent against someone and have never been suspended, but a lot of that misery felt by Ishigami is a well known experience for me too. Oh, well, he told that girl words she deserved (and i should have told to multiple people when it was the right time) and have possibly found a new set of real friends in a unexpected place. Good for him, he's still in time.
