Sokye21 said: This episode was probably the best adapted episode yet. Though yes, still many things cut and changed around, it was decent and enjoyable, even for me who thinks season 2 is a big mess and disappointment. Kushida is one of the only characters that the anime has done justice to, I think they adapted her character well. Wish we got see more of Koji's study group but I guess they're saving that for next episode and naming the group like they did in the LN. I thought a certain girl would appear this episode, but again I guess next episode. Ryuuen's message was changed to "Who are you?" rather than "What are you?" which I preferred more because it sounds more intimidating. However that's just me nitpicking so nothing major lmao. This episode actually had the most consistent and good animation this season, despite being outsourced again to that Chinese studio from episode 5. So that's nice. Decent episode. totally agree, one of the best eps of season 2 |
| Kushida is not just a clown, she's the whole circus lol. The says she knows her own limitation and then proceeds to want to expel Ayanokouji and Horikita. She's pretty overconfident imo. I was kinda caught off guard by the headshake when she was brushing her teeth ngl. Like "ugh, it's not even looping right." Anyway. In this episode, we finally get to see the Kushida "dark" past lol. It turns out she's just an attention wh**e, classic Kushida style. Those students who told her their dark secrets are quite stupid too. I guess they don't have a concept of secrets you take to the grave lol. No Karuizawa this episode? Sadge. |

Graduated High School in May of 2022. Summer vacation has finally arrived. I have once again regained the power of a new anime fan, being able to watch multiple anime episodes in a day. Time to binge-watch every single anime I can into the night until college arrives. SADGE. SUPER SADGE... College has begun as of Monday, August 30, 2022, so you won't be seeing me much around these parks. See you on weekends, I guess... School me is back. Sigh! I'll at least try for one anime a day with all this course load. |
| Really though, Kushida's past wasn't anything special, way to kill the hype, I was looking forward to see what fucked up past she had but eh. It doesn't make sense she would go to such lengths for that meagre thing plus she herself told about her past to Ayanokoji and Horikita. Imagine they tell this to everyone, ahahahahah. That's some very risky bet right there. Ayanokoji must have a LOT of confidence in Horikita beating Kushida in finals. But imagine the pressure Horikita might be feeling now, it will eventually get to her. But considering who are the MCs of this anime, there is a very slim chance of Horikita scoring lower than Kushida, even if she does, they will find a way to make them stay at school, nothing surprising here. Coming to Kushida and her past again, we have established the fact that Kushida is such a fucked up person. Girl was orgasming to literally praise and appreciation, I mean it's understandable that everyone loves to be praised but going to such an extent to be praised and appreciated, well that's a rare case. The shittiest move on her part was telling each other's secret to others and this bitch wants others to tell her things they don't tell to anyone else? Hello? Just imagine man Horikita spilling Kushida's beans, it would be so hilarious to watch but horrifyingly traumatising for Kushida, she would just drop out at that point. But it's not completely Kushida's fault as to how she turned out to be, she got prasied a lot, she got addicted to it and was probably more suspectible to getting addicted to getting praised than others, that's how she was born and can't really do anything about that. Her venting out was totally expected and understandable and it was just pure bad luck that her blog was founded. I can't believe it affected her so much that she did what she did. Overall, Kushida is a scary and crazy woman. Doesn't she feel empty though? Acting as a person whom everyone will like for sure, not being her true self, as she said it must be exhausting but well gotta make some sacrifices to keep your addiction feeding. "My past is nothing special right? But it is everything to me". I guess that's true for many people irl too.

 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| damnn kushida past is nothingless important !! but that is the reason she is being bitchy in Class D !! |
| Every episode makes me dislike Kushida more and more. |
 |
| To be able to destroy an entire class with words alone is damm scary. Nice to finally meet Haruka and Akito. Its a nice change seeing Ayanokouji with like minded classmates for a change. It's only a matter of time before Ryuen finds him after all. Despite the cold shoulder Maya's efforts are commendable. The insight into Kushida's past though was insightful. Being the center of attention can be both a blessing and a curse huh. But being number one really served to twist her personality. The blog though proved to be her downfall though. But to be able to turn the attention of the class so as to cause infighting required an impressive amount of cunning. Overall a fun ep that featured a nice balance of lord expansion via the new characters and plot advancement via the long awaited reveal of Kushida's past. Looks like we'll be seeing Hiyori next ep. |

| uh that was it? I was expecting her past to be like 100x worse. kinda disappointing. |
 |
| an all-around decent episode. kushida's seiyuu did a great job! |
| Kushida's past is justified. |
"The Yang Sword cuts what I want to cut." "Look, it's my victory again." |
| Lmao so Kushida is doing all of this because she's an attention whore.....that's some silly motivation right there but what else would one expect from a high school girl. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| kushida story is so boring and under-average animation as expected, thank you lerche.... 6/10. |
| KUDERE DEBUT NEXT WEEK |
 |
| KUDERE DEBUT NEXT WEEK |
|
| Finally the animation is getting better......an overall nice episode |
| This is so stupid. Why do they go along with the blackmails of that shortstack midget ? Why not just ignore her, brush her aside. She's not as smart as she thinks she is. WIth their connections they can annul anything she does. And the whole fingerprints thing is a wash at this point. The whole premise of a class full of people that are so full of secrets yet at the same time so brittle and sensitive that just some words from a dumbass like Kushida could bring them all down is absurd. I expected something a lot more juicy. |

| Wow! Kushida really is cray. For a minute I forgot they weren't on the ship and was hoping she'd fall over the rail and die. |
| kushida is really disgusting, her way of thinking is sick,i hope horikita is good at math |
| . |
| 66 comments so soon Jesus it’s crazy how despite an awful adaptation the fandom keeps this up. I loved seeing Kushida backstory. Her seiyuu does an incredible job of going back and forth. Poor girl is legitimately insane. |
 |
| It's an ok episode... Nothing to say much here except they kinda waste too much time on Kushida I'll give it a 8/10 |
| She's just your avg Redditor who got caught lmao |
| Horikita's brother is damn SAVAGE. He doesnt give a toss about Horkita Kushida on the othr hand is CORRUPTED. At the same time, the expressions she makes seems to be a turn on lol   |
 "Don't give up after failing just twice. We'll be able to do it next time. Failure is the stepping stone to success." |
| Wow, that's really kinda shocking... Many people are like Kushida, being noticed and praised is something tiring... I really like this topic that they touch on in this anime, a reality we live with many people. look at her face (expressions)  |
 |
| This episodes captures Kushida's mentality very well! |
"The Yang Sword cuts what I want to cut." "Look, it's my victory again." |
| This episode was decent, it didn't look bad either. I actually really liked the way they adapted Kushida's backstory, one of the most impressive parts so far from this season. |
 |
| Really great episode, Kushieda is always in need of attention or praise from others, and they are on a bet now. |

snowwolf163 said: It's an ok episode... Nothing to say much here except they kinda waste too much time on Kushida I'll give it a 8/10 It's called characterisation. Kushida and her backstory was actually adapted well and carried the episode. They can't always focus on one single character or set of characters. Plus, she's a good character. |

| Being on a path of success early on can lead to pretty depressing times later on when you know how big the world is. Can relate to Kushida's backstory a bit being popular and being everyone's comfort companion. All that holding out leads to stress and needs to be spit somewhere but the way she exploded was a shit move. Never show your true colors even to those nearest to you. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| So, second shittiest character got her backstory and... she now looks even shittier as a character. Good job. To bad, I doubt she'll get what she deserves. |
 |
| what a lame ass fucking backstory and what an idiotic bet. this is so disappointing. this shitshow should insert sitcom background laughter into every scene |
| Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no |
