THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Kirari is such an intimidating character even this season. No wonder she is still one of the biggest threats in the show.

Sayaka looked like she's growing more and more desperate. What a freaky looking face this episode, damn. I see Jabami is having her own time as usual. Seriously, she's taking this exactly like a game rather than competition. Sayaka's devotion to Kirari is still big as ever.

After Kara no Kyoukai - Mujun Rasen (Paradox Spiral) the tower's secret was pretty obvious, but it's still very cool. And those yuri flowers are beautiful. I'm really happy with this ending. I was sure that she will lose but this twist was interesting. And the yuri scene, magnificent!

It's very interesting how she immediately noticed that the President who did the gamble and the one sitting in front of her is not the same person but the twin. I'm really excited to know why these twins doing what they do, like switching places and roles.

Wow, Sayaka and Kirari... They reunite as President and Secretary... I sure Sayaka will be stronger now...
Yumeko's mind is so strong and she easily beat Sayaka...
---
What kind of gamble that they will play next week?

I was so hyped for this episode! And i wasn't disappointed xD

Yumeko and Kirari are both equally insane, they don't care about money and winning, they only care about the pleasure of playing a game with high risks, gotta love them xD They are insane and that's what makes this anime so good!

It was more than expected that Yumeko knew what she was doing, what a plan! She was just chilling while the other girl was getting crazily obsessed xD And in the end, she just made 1 move! What a game!
I love how Yumeko plays dumb for people, only revealing herself when she wins and the other person is completely destroyed xD Just look at this face and remember that 2min ago she was laughing at Yumeko because she was dumb

In the end, she was no that dumb as you thought xD

Honestly, i wasn't expecting the jumping thing, what a plan! To make only one of the doors available for a jump that wouldn't end in the floor but on a soft floor! Damn, what an insane plan but it was such a great moment!
Gotta love this anime! I really hope there will be another season.

Well that was an easy win. Sayaka had no chance because LOGIC!

The outer doors lead to outside so there would be no point in opening them. So why would they be there? Heh, it's like one of those puzzles where something that is hidden but gives the answer right in front of you...

Sayaka's arc is done. Two episodes of whatever. Next episode has a 100-vote auction. And I see Midari again. More Midari please.

Wow awesome episode! The tower mistery was so cool!

I love how much Yumeko and Kirari are like the same, with the same feels, gamble for the pleasure of risking their lives in that, and Sayaka is the total opposite with being ruled by logic, thats why she lost!

Didn't expect that jump scene, but it was wonderful when Kirari jumped and huged Sayaka, what a damn crazy idea, the moments between them was beautiful!

I am damn hyped for the 100 votes invitations, what will come next!

Very disappointing, yet again. I'd prefer it if this episode ends either in Yumeko losing, or Sayaka dying from the jumping.

"Logics" saved her in the end, I guess.

It's exact opposite for me. Ending of this "arc" was perfect for me.

If I could insert an image in the comments, it would be the priest's meme of "where is the ghost?" saying "That bitch is crazy". Referring to Kirari clear, look to create a tower so complicated just to place a bet 😅.
Jabami as always surprising with his resolution at the last moment. Although Igarashi was the one who surprised this time with his determination, even his willingness to die.
WHAT MADNESS!

Batsubami, that guy brings something into his hands. Hide something behind that good-looking face. What will be your true intentions. And as the loli of the paddles said about the "student support" and I think Batsubami is accomplishing it little by little.

Yumeko just simply won't lose when it's about gambling. It's quite boring in way.

If the building was moving fast, yes. But it was turning only 60 degrees in the 5min intervals. So it took 5 seconds to turn just one measly degree. It's too slow for the people inside to feel it moving. More importantly, there were no windows in the tower, so the senses of the girls were completely cut off from the outside world. If they could see outside they would feel the tower moving.

Your way of gambling is way too elaborate for my taste, Kirari... I mean, building a whole tower just for the sake of gambling... yeah, you and Yumeko are basically soulmates, sorry Sayaka.

Anyways, I must say it was an entertaining episode although I'm not really sure how to feel about the conclusion of the gamble. I guess I was expecting someone to die so bad that I ended up feeling slightly disappointed... oh well.

Sayaka sure is hopeless when it comes to that "obsession" she has for Kirari but in the end, she's still useful for her as that "logic" support she needs by her side. That said, I now wonder who might be Yumeko's support then...

And it also seems that Rei is up to something very important, he have slowly caught the interest of many students so I'm curious about what he'll do in the next episodes.

All in all, it was an interesting mini arc, not my favorite one but definitely better than Yumemite's one. Looking forward to the next episode.

Sorry for sayaka as Jabami and kirari think a like so jabami wins that round. And by the way i like that gamble because that one really needs a great logic to solve that one. Sayaka did well but jabami sees the better picture of that tower...

But kirari does love sayaka so she remained as a secretary.

Love this epsiode...

Damn, intense episode!

Great resolution to the fight between Sayaka & Yumeko! Bloody hell, some intense facial expressions this episode too. Great stuff, they really blended in brilliantly this episode!

Yumeko really loves playing with her opponents, doesn’t she? She always gives her opponents a moment of triumph before ruthlessly stomping on it and throwing it aside. Sayaka was literally laughing idiotically over Yumeko’s blunders and so that ending must’ve made things much more harder for her to accept and move on from. Yikes, such a nasty habit that is. Poor Sayaka, Yumeko and Kirari are just one of a kind but I suppose what followed right after, that is the little Yuri treat, will surely give her more confidence moving forward. It’s incredible how she managed to guess right even after totally giving up there though and the whole mechanism behind the tower was quite impressive. Just a little curious how they did not ‘feel’ the rotations though, surely a moving tower would have to be hectic enough to make you fall and hold on to something let alone simply notice.

Moving on, the little usual whacky Batsubami and his/her fans fawning over her scene was hilarious as ever. But, more importantly, looks like something big is coming! Can’t wait to see what the next gamble will be about!

Another special mention to the glorious soundtrack of this episode! Not just this episode though, the soundtracks for this Season have been phenomenal, especially the one with the drum beats that played in the end there! I remember it played in the first episode too and it really gets me psyched for some reason. Even the one during the little Yuri treat as I mentioned above was slow, cool and melodic. Great stuff!

That face, even thought Sayaka is yet to be beaten by Yumeko, it already shows despair........too bad, she maybe book smart , then again that doesn't mean that she's that smart cu'z she always look at the small details then the big picture. Man, i wish Kirari would have jaz kick her outta the student council. But it seem that her lesbian love still is in her.

So 2 episodes left , will Terano get the top seat of the student council or will Kirari kick her ass in the end.

I may be an idiot but I don't think Yumeko could've gotten thru at all even on her 6th turn.
Since: 60 degrees ever 5 mins, they switch turns every 5 minutes, on yumeko 1st turn, door closed

Y- yumeko, S-sayaka, number represent turns
60 degree (according to the picture) : Y1- closed
180 degree : Y2 -closed
300 degree : Y3- closed
BUT ON SAYAKA 3RD TURN: 360/0 degree : S3- open
60 degree : Y4 - closed

annnd repeat. So yumeko cannot go thru the door. (feel free to correct me)


The tower only moves in the intervals at the start of each turn. So when it's Yumeko's and Sayaka's turns, the tower stands still.

She never really gave a clear reason to make you think she was evil, so I'm not sure why I thought the president was a malevolent person this whole time other than her general demeanor, but it looks like she's not so bad. Well, apart from leading Sayaka on that is.



She obviously only has eyes for Yumeko, no need to be a tease. A kiss rather than a blood-lick would've still been nice, though :P

The tower puzzle was alright overall? The hex was clear to me right away, though to be fair I work in assembly more than I'd like to so it's just natural. The other stuff was just crazy, no way I'd solve those in 5 minutes lol. Then there's the rotating tower, which I was thinking but iffy on until Yumeko showed up on the first floor on the fifth turn. The vibe of the whole thing was cool anyway, like I'd probably enjoy a puzzle like that if it was irl and not rushed through in a couple episodes of an anime.

Swing votes are always potential changers in elections thats for sure. Sayaka's first meeting with the president sure was an interesting one thats for sure. Still this did allow us to see just where Sayaka's strong admiration of her boss comes from. So the reason why Yumeko went outside was to use the moon to determine the angles huh. Still its impressive that Yumeko managed to figure out the layout of the tower that easily. Despite Sayaka's best efforts victory for her was impossible from the start. To think that Kirari would join Sayaka in jumping as well. Guess she too wanted to experience that thrill as well. Its nice that Sayaka's fears in the end proved to be groundless. Looks like Terano is finally making her long awaited move in this increasingly high staked game.

Great episode!! I'm glad they animated this arc beautifully!!!

This was supposed to be in S1, but I'm just happy it did happen!

The look at Sayaka's face tells all the story!! I really love Kirari's voice! Sawashiro Miyuki truly did a fantastic job!!

I guess they are doing an Anime original episode just like Episode 12 from S1. I mean, they're really really close to the manga right now and it's kinda moving slow (It's mostly Ririka and Mary duo right now).

Anyways, I just hope that the manga will get more material after a year or so then announce S3!

I'm loving this and the manga is one of my favorite works this generation!

Yumeko and Kirari understand each other perfectly as far as their insane personalities, Sayaka tried her best, she had advantage to Yumeko, but she never stopped to observe and analyze her surroundings as Yumeko did and discovered the secret of the tower of the doors and so Yumeko took the victory from poor Sayaka.
One of the things that I liked about this episode was to know how Sayaka became the secretary of Kirari, besides we had a look at how Kirari got her position as the student council president. Apparently Sayaka was impressed by the way in which Kirari took all the merits and efforts of the former president, but in the end Kirari accepts her as his secretary because she finds Sayaka "interesting".
It is incredible the psychological pressure generated by this gamble to Sayaka, that vision in which she sees Yumeko that came before her was spooky, especially by the terrified face of Sayaka, but to her surprise she arrives first at the first floor and she gets the lily, then she tries to go up the main staircase but the door leads to a wall and that's where Yumeko comes to the first floor. Sayaka is happy to see that she has the advantage over Yumeko and so she win advances to the fifth floor without making any mistakes, determined to win now that she knows that she can beat Yumeko, but when she reaches the fifth floor she meets the terrible reality, Yumeko came first and wins this gamble, I had never seen so much despair in one face and Sayaka's showed not only despair, fear was part of that look, but I think what hurt Sayaka the most is that her beloved Kirari told her that she lost.
Yumeko took the time to analyze every detail of the tower, nothing escaped her, even when she opened the door that led to the outside it was used to get more information and so she came to the conclusion that it was the tower that turned and Yumeko looks Excited about such a discovery, but things do not end and Yumeko explains how she managed to get there before Sayaka. I was sad when Sayaka observes that Yumeko and Kirari understand each other perfectly, we see how Sayaka realizes that she was never special for Kirari and now Sayaka must pay the price for her defeat.
It was beautiful the part in which Sayaka was thrown herself from the tower, that confession before dying made me feel very sad, but to my surprise and as for Sayaka too, Kirari throws herself and falls hugged next to her secretary, but the surprises do not finish there, it turns out that under the field of flowers there was a safety mat.
The Yuri service of KirariXSayaka was beautiful, when Kirari gets on Sayaka, I got to think that Kirari would kiss her on the lips or the wound on her forehead, but that does not happen, but Kirari licks the wound on the forehead of Sayaka (which is better than I had expected) and so Sayaka returns to have her secretary position with her beloved Kirari. Things are not very calm, the rest of the Momobami family is in trouble for not being able to advance in the elections and Terano seems to plan something with Rei, then we see that Yumeko and Suzui receive an invitation that is most likely for another insane gamble and I'm sure Rei will be the one to challenge the guests.
