Wow ! This episode was just SO GREAT !!! We finally start to get to the real deal : Who is HE ??!

The last part got me the chills ! The sensei proved again that she knows A LOT about Ayanokouji. I'm sure now that he was chosen to be part of this "school".

I wasn't expecting the fact that it turned so dark, though. Great surprise ^^ And great MC ! Reminds me of Rock (from Black Lagoon) in the latest arc in his way of playing the puppet master and hiding his true self from others.

That guy was such a creep, glad that he got what he deserved.
Glad that they found a way to solve Sudo's problem.

Hmmm... not sure where to begin with this one... Looks like MC might be some sort of test subject for something, the store clerk dude turned out to be a total stalker and got dealt with in just half the episode, and the trial has been dealt with with the power of lies. A lot of progress and a good episode.

A lot of people have been saying that they hated this episode and that it was the lab rat cliche, but we don't know yet, we can't judge. People who have read the light novel will know the truth, but if you really want to ruin the story, then go ahead and press that spoiler button.

His flashback does show a white room, a line of kids all wearing gowns, and something appearing to be wrong with one of the kids. Even though they are typically wearing gowns and in a white room doesn't confirm the lab rat cliche. They could even be in a hospital, don't you wear gowns in hospital? There could be loads of random ideas, and that's what's making me look forward to episode 7. With the setting the story is currently portraying now, I doubt it will become a Mecha or scientific experiment thing...well...the science thing might happen, but not to the extremes of growing tentacles. I really doubt an interesting and philosophical anime can all of a sudden switch to an anime about body mutation and so on. My biggest bet is some kind of hospital thing, or yeah, an experiment on kids to do with some kind of educational thing... but it could be far wilder than something simple like that (like some kinda military thing though I doubt it...its just we haven't seen his parents so its suspicious) and I only got them ideas because of the protagonist somehow levelling his grades and his surprising fighting strength.

I also noticed in the art that there was a huge resemblance of Assassination Classroom, the boldness and all that....as expected from Lerche and its erratic art...going from line-boldness to flashy colours lol

People who have read the light novel are going on about some kind of Island arc, and this is interesting. Can't wait for episode 7, literally.

Maybe it is. I don't know, maybe i'm being paranoid now when I watch this anime but... Sakura seems a little too "clean" compared to the other characters. What if she really played the guy ?

This anime makes me doubt about every single character XD !!!

So not only is this anime a combination of oregairu and baka to test, it seems it is also part Terror in Resonance. That flash back we saw is a huge hint that Ayanokoji was part in an experiment which Im guessing is much like in Terror in Resonance.

Damn is this going to hurt or help Ayanokoji and Horikta's relationship? Fuck I know it's Canon but damn they go so well together!!!! Though I wouldn't mind seeing him end up with Sakura, she's pretty great as well. But seriously Horikta is on another level of beauty!

Damn the music for this episode was really good. Also just the noise from the rain and the BGM, very well done.

Glad Kushida was not in this episode. Goes to show how irrelevant she really is in this series. Well maybe not irrelevant, but obviously not as important as Ayanokoji and Horikta

That was quite a stare, Ayanokouji.

All quiet on the Western Front, for now. I hope we'll get the chance to peer into Ayanokouji's past in greater detail. Unless the leader of Class C stirs something up first, which is a distinct possibility.

So Ayanokoji was a at a sort of training facility/lab as a child... either to become an elite gifted child (zankyou no terror), an aging homunculus XD a hitman, a terrorist, or something else. I got some kiznaiver experiment vibes, too. His chessmaster skills separate him from Hachiman even more (Hachiman would normally do as much as he can by himself). Looks like Horikita didn't realize she was manipulated until the teacher told her O_o

I was already on board with this series since episode 1 (thankfully I didn't see the romance and comedy tags so I wasn't misled) but this episode was kind of a game changer, I was expecting Ayanokoji to get closer to Horikita and tell her about his life, but nope. That scene was really well done. I wonder at what point in his life he realized he was so detached from others, it doesn't seem like he realized it when that kid collapsed. He didn't even bat an eye. Maybe he didn't compute until much later.
I wonder if the teacher just saw right through him or she knows something (I suppose there was some background check when he applied for the school, therefore she should have access to that info), or maybe she just suspects something about him out of pure instinct.

Both problems got solved pretty nicely and through the fear of cameras. This show being more on the dark side, I feared for Sakura when she wasn't able to tell Ayanokoji about her problem. On one hand, though, I was angry at her choosing the worst possible route to escape, but on the other hand, people in that kind of situation may not be able to think properly (and that's not even considering the possibility of blaming herself for it all). Moreover, she doesn't want to stand out so going to the police directly would have the opposite effect (plus, she trusts almost no one). It was nice that she was able to stand up and speak for herself to that creep (even if it was at the end, it was still some growth). That made Ayanokoji's help less cliché. I kind of ship them XD But at the same time it was nice that she realized that Ayanokoji doesn't look at her "in that way", he wasn't doing it for her affection and thus she can truly trust in him.

I guess things are going to get messy after class C leader's plan backfired.

Okay,so the school set up reminded me of Baka and Test, but a serious version.

MC initially reminded me of 8man with his monologues, Horokita reminded me of Yukino. But MC turns out to be physically strong as well. I already had doubts given his nonchalant reactions, but after his first encounter sealed the deal for me.

And after the small flashback this episode, MC is now like Yuuji from Grisaia no Kajitsu.

At this point, I still can't see what will be the end goal for the story.

Assassin doesn't fit the anime.
Being trained to excel at everything in order to be part of a company or have a role in society makes more sense I guess. Like a group of people that would be part of some agenda.


"To excel at everyhing"? Are you nuts? That's more bizarre than what I said. The anime has yet to decide whether I'm wrong or not but they are already decided that you're wrong. Ayanokouji doesn't excel at figuring things out, Horikita does all that. Heck, she excels at everything Ayanokouji doesn't. But we know that he can fight, is mostly emotionless, is part of some type of experiment when he was a child that can kill people. Sure, assassin doesn't fit with this anime, but when has thugs, big ass bodyguards, court, and assault ever fit with romance-school anime? That's what I thought.


Did you even see the last ep?? She only came up with the plan because Ayanokouji pointed the fact that there were no cameras.
Also, he perceived something was wrong with Sakura and found a way to tracker. Emotionless ? Someone emotionless wouldn't help Sakura as he did.
You also forgot about the fact he's having low marks on purpose.
Horikita is nothing but a dumb brat who's trying to impress her brother. He's the one helping her.
The best ideas on previous episodes also came from him lol.

And assassin in a school anime that tries to depict the highly competitive Japanese society ? Lol what a joke.
This isn't a typical romance school anime. You can't even make the correlation between the anime and what it tries to depict.
And I won't say more due to the fact that the manga has some more info.

This episode was really good and keeps viewers invested in the series with how much went on. I only wish that maybe the Sakura stalker plot was introduced earlier, like in a previous episodes. Not the whole thing, but just hints of it, maybe us seeing her see one stalker-y message in the middle of lots of messages or even her seeing another card. I think that the stakes of this sub plot would have been higher that way and given her new character reveal more meaning.

Also, I'm so interested on what's going on with Ayanokouji's past. The series does a really good job of keeping his thoughts secret from the viewer, even though he is the main character.

all the classes are fighting amongst themselves, though I don't see the reason why anyone would waste their time on class D to begin with, the fact that everyone has drama and everyone's trying to be "queen/king" of the school is so juvenile and i love it, hahah

So noticing that there are no cameras makes you smart? Making them excel at everything would also mean that he has to be able to act like someone else. And the teacher did say that there is a reason why he's helping these people. Just because he helps people doesn't mean he has emotions! I made a theory from the information I had. You decided your "theory" on what would make sense. The real question is what happened back then to make him join this prestigious school and why does Horikita have to find about what Ayanokouji is all about during her mission to get into Class A. Maybe there is a reason he is in this school and helping these people after that lethal experiment in the past. If he already excelled at everything then what's the point of him being in that school and what's the point of him making his score to 50/100 points? Maybe it goes back to my apparently stupid assassin theory and he's trying to look normal among the students and keep an eye on an important figure. And I admit I can be totally wrong but nothing yet has proved me wrong besides the fact that you think that you know 100% how anime works.


Oki, we agree. We both have different opinions xD ^^

Well, I personally think he was send there as a kid either by his family, or might be the case he doesn't have one.
Also, he's the one who wanted to go to that school to get away of something. If I remember correctly he said it at the beginning of the 1st or 2nd ep.

I was expecting for Sakura to do a low blow or a kick to the nuts to that predator. I'm glad she's OK though. Sakura is a pretty relatable character. I also have a hard time trusting and communicating with people in real life. Also, since this anime is made by the same studio that made Assassination Classroom, I would compare Sakura to Manami Okuda. I don't know if she's good at science as Okuda.

It's looks like the MC is some kind of superhuman that went through experiments.

It's interesting to see the tensions between the school's factions. However, I can't tell which faction is good and which faction is bad. For now I'll just consider Class-B as the Good Guys and allies of Class-D.

Good episode!
That was a nice set-up by Horikita but actually Ayanokouji is the mastermind manipulator and now Horikita is now questioning him who he really is!
That freak almost raped Sakura, good thing Ayanokouji & Ichinose help her capture that freak!
Looks like there are many rulers who want to truly rule! more new characters!
That badass eyes look of Ayanokouji was very scary! (when he said to Horikita @Don't pry into my life)
I think he is an enhanced human and more powerful than a genius! lolz

Just leave it be, dude. it'll be totally boring if the show's going as you want.

All of the cases aint that unrelatrd, and we knew that it was ryuuen's doing for finding out the effect of expulsion.

And it was just koji got triggered by hori's words,and that popped up. it was only flasback anyways. people's been talking some shit bout the ln, and they didnt even have a clue about that room, since it was only mentioned(cmiiw) So lerche wont go in to the details, likely. Good for you buddy, no more cliche for you

My problem is that there's no way the main character's background is going to be delved into to any major extent. It'll probably be revealed in the last 3 eps or so, and then after solving some problem they were in before the reveal the series will end. I really hope I'm wrong, but I can't see it ending any other way at this point. We'll see what happens next episode.
unless we will have second season i dont see them showing up the rest of flashback

Really curious about Ayanokouji's past right now. Did not expect The white room people talked about to show up in this episode. I think the reason he do this kind of things (helping each other), is because he want to feel what is it like to be a normal human being, and having something called emotion, after all the experiment (maybe) that he have in the past.

and seems like this series is kinda underrated, imo.

Posting lewd pics is like a confidence booster for her. It's like her alter ego and since she hides her identiy she can be a different confident person through her lewd pics. That's my best guess. She's really shy about her body and mens eyes on her so she does this to overcome this. Kind of like a person who is afraid of crowds becomes a singer to overcome his fear. Or she could also like doing cosplay and lewd poses too.
