The episode was stretched too thin. Outside of Saten (I like watching her grow past her failure, regarding the level-upper incident), it just didn't have much of anything worth talking about. Even the background music felt a bit too little; the melancholic tone and the slower pacing could have benefited from more music.

I like Saten but I still didn't care too much for this episode.

Basically this. Saten is the most interesting girl of the four, but somehow this episode just felt like nothing happened.

Nice episode focused on Saten and other characters from the level upper arc who used it, I hope the classes helped them regain optimism and improve towards their goal of having stronger abilities... or having one in first place.

Finally, a filler well done.

More development for Saten.

Despite being a self-contained episode, the narrative is a sort of occasion to reflect, seen from this point of view, the episode has its own value even if it was expected a departure of a new narrative arc, after the short break made with the previous episode. As for me, the episode was not boring, because if you look at the pink-haired professor of Index.

ngl, this is my second favourite episode of the series thus far. I love the character development this episode with Saten-san and some others, and the whole theme of the episode as a whole really spoke to me. It may be filler, but it may have been the best filler i have ever seen uwu.

Well, Kuroko.. If you want to spend more time with Misaka and share more things with her.. You might really want to try to spend time with cute things she likes.. Not call it childlish right from start.. It would deepen your relationship, really.. Though, I guess, there isn't one way to build relationship.. If you hope to have teasing relationship, it can work as well sometimes, I guess..
Oh, girl with big eyebrows! She wasn't put to jail it seems or something, after all.. Glad, that it's so.. She made mistakes, but punishment for her shouldn't have been like the serious criminal, really..
It seems that Saten still has thoughts or feelings that bother her after Level Upper incident.. Well, I wonder, if we'll have more of this, or not.. I'll be fine either way.. I mean, I'd want a bit more of this.. But wouldn't expect too much, so will be fine, if they'll just close this topic.. But if they'll do something more with this - I'm personally interested..
Well, I'm glad Saten got to talk a bit about her worries with big eyebrows girl.. My internet died, so can't check her name, no disrespect here, I'm bad with names.. I like her actually.. I hope they continue their friendship or whichever relationship with Saten.. ;p
So these additional lessons actually got students, who used Level Upper, not just students, who had bad grades?.. Is that it?.. Or not?..
The limit talk is very important, I feel.. This concept of personal reality, personal imagination of espers is the central after all for their powers.. So they have to continue to believe that they can do even better than now, better than nothing, if that's the case.. They have to continue believe.. Because that's how things work for espers in this world..
I have a feeling that might be the last episode we see girl with big eyebrows Juufuku.. I would like she'd become a constant friend of Saten, and get more screen time.. Well, because yuri, she's cute, and I like her relationship with Saten.. Well, will see.. Still was at least nice to see that everything is alright with her after her incident.. I'm glad for that..

Failure can sure be hard those who haven’t went through one that had big affect
on their life cannot understand the beauty of this episode.

This episode was absolutely amazing to come back to! - 9.2/10

Ruiko Saten is my favourite character, not just in this show and not just in anime... but favourite character in all of fiction, from the first minute she was on screen until the last she was amazing, all her dialogue and ways she thinks is almost like she ripped the thoughts out of my head.

Anyways the actual episode, this one hits close to home being someone who's had difficulties learning all my life, extra classes galore, feels like a punishment for not being good enough and sometimes you just want to cheat your way to the top... but in the end you're only cheating yourself - No joke this may join my list of stand-alone 10/10 episodes.

v If you're a Ruiko fan such as myself v

Now that was a good character development episode for Saten.
It may not seem much but it's there.

Surpass your limit, right here right now. Reminds me of Captain Yami from Black Clover.

Best episode yet. The little girl was a riot, but the way the instructors handled everything was inspiring.

While not the most eventful episode, I do feel that this one is rather important, particularly for Saten's character development.

Loli sensei was the teacher, so my guess is that this was at Touma's school. Just using previous knowledge from A Certain Magical Index here.

Invisible girl made another appearance too! Seems she's changing for the better too.

It was so sweet how Misaka, Shirai and Uiharu come to pick up Saten.

I have a feeling that there will be another story arc starting soon, can't wait!
