| Well, Sakura can survive fights but a cold brings him down. Good to know he has a lot of friends and allies that cares about him. Even that witress Kotoha came to take care of although I do find their chemistry slightly odd this episode. |

| Weeks without crying to a Wind Breaker Episode: 0 idk about y’all, but I’ll never get tired of seeing Sakura’s walls break down and him learning to accept other people AND himself. Beautiful episode. Wouldn’t be a school anime without the obligatory out from school sick with a cold episode. Slightly different vibes from most others since we’re a boys delinquent series, but just as sweet nonetheless. Suo and Nirei bringing Sakura all those snacks was soo cute. Broke my heart hearing him mumble that he was used to dealing with this alone but that visit really sparked something in him. I think Sakura went from one extreme to the other. Initially he didn’t care to get attached to anyone, but now he’s overthinking everyone’s perception of him and thinking of himself as a failure. Dude it’s your first big leadership role it’s OK, no one expects you to be a battle tested leader! The strongest people in history had flaws and they managed to be successful because they had others supporting them who could compliment their weaknesses! That’s all we can do as people Loved Kaji’s speech so much and it’s even better when you realize he used to be in the same position as Sakura and you’d never know it because he’s now learnt to trust his friends! Did NOT expect him to straight deck Ume for eavesdropping like that though lmao holy shit. “Rely, rely on. Forgive. Be forgiven. That’s how you stay together!” Love this group so much, perfect confidence boost going into the next arc. |

| Kaji being best senpai |
| This was an amazing episode—it gave such a warm feeling while watching. A calm moment before the storm. Sakura has really grown a lot. Even though he still struggles with relying on others and being relied upon, you can see the change. He came here as an outcast, choosing to distance himself from everything. It was touching to see everyone worry about him when he got sick, especially after how hard it’s been for him to fit in with such a quirky group. Seeing Tachibana nurse him and gently teach him the importance of bonds—what one person can do alone versus what they can do with support—was genuinely soothing. And the way she teased him a little made it even sweeter. Kaji helping Sakura with advice he once received from Hiiragi showed how much he’s grown too. It feels like he’s walked the same path Sakura is on now, and I’m sure his words reached him. It’s about time Sakura breaks out of his shell and confronts his fear of being rejected by others. Can’t wait to see what the next episode has in store for us. |

| Well, this was a snowball that turned into a non-stop avalanche, a crash course for Sakura as well as Kaji. Geez. Bunch of delinquents and they're all super dorks or super tsun. (Or both.) 🤣 Gottta love how crisp and vibrant everything is, too, when the dust settles and things slow down for an episode or two. So much detail, from cityscapes to pieces of clothing and generic clutter in a room. A+. |
| this episode was so good, i have enjoyed everything great character development, this are real nakama E4: 10/10 |

| Two slow, introspection episodes in a row? And nothing new or interesting has been said. The anime just feels nice to watch and listen to for some strange reason, but it's really pushing it right now... Needs more Kotoha and Umemiya. And punching. |
| now we better see some real shift in Shakura’s character (which usually is not the case)..... if he stays the same, this whole episode’s gonna feel like a waste of potential |
  |
| Interesting idea to add bangs for first person pov. |
| that punch was personal icl |
 |
| Yep Sakura needs more self confidence but now he has the ultimate proof that his friends are here for him, especially Kaji |
 |
| Really loved this one 🥹 |
 |
| So Sakura really live alone, under those damn place, imagine if he's liking ramen too.... Kaji truly an unexpected character with his inheritance teaching. He gets so much development with all the blabbing after his introduction a several episode before, than the leader Umemiya and his teams. Heck, even Kaji gets the teaching from Hiiragi not Umemiya kinda gives me a very curious aftermath over the what's goin on with the third class. Perhaps i miss dialogue on a season one, but lets just move forward to see the next.... |

| Wow, let’s see… a good episode? And what makes it good? No trash action, no annoying characters, just the ones that are actually tolerable this time around. And honestly, that alone made for a great episode. The direction, ED, and storyboarding were miles better than the last three shitstains of episodes. Clearly the staff has a soft spot for Sakura, one of the only good characters in this show. I always find it funny when they try to characterize him, but surprisingly, this time around, it actually worked. Great stuff. Although, this is probably gonna be the peak of the season. I’ll stick around to see if it somehow gets worse than the first three episodes… or maybe, hopefully, manages to top this one. |

| Great character development |
| Wow this episode was actually really good, definitely the best one of the season so far and probably even one of my favorite episodes out of the two seasons. Great character development for Sakura. So many wholesome moments, and some sound advice was given. I especially love how Kaji passed on the exact same advice that he once received from his senpai. He sees his past self in Sakura. A lot of the advice given seems like common sense, but with Sakura's past of getting shunned by others and his tendency to do everything by himself, it's understandable why he struggles with relying on others. I could definitely relate to him in a lot of ways, especially with own lack of self-esteem and cynical views. Sakura's found a wonderful group of friends, bless them. |
  "As promised, all that you seek, all that we desire, is prepared up there. On top of the Tower." |
| Damn what a great writing this episode was... and the advvice kaji gave to sakura was the same he had 1 year ago... good episode a solid 8/10 |

| Pretty interesting episode, i'm never against good chara developpement but i'd say it felt a tad long and whiny also i think most people watching this don't expect something that deep, they just want cool fights and since this season 2 is only 12 episodes we're already getting less and less of that, so yeah i like Sakura as a character but i hope from now on he can take things better. |

| @ropiel Yeah I think they could have done this in half an episode to be honest. But it was nice to watch. |
| Such a beautiful, emotional episode. Haruka not going to school due to his cold, Akihiko & Hayato visiting him delivering water, orange jelly, and many other stuff purchased by Tsukasa, Mitsuki, Masaki, and Yuuri. Kotoha runs by Akihiko and Hayato and gets the gist of it from the duo. Barges into Haruka's flat, imposing on him purposely as to tell him that even if you can go cook or buy by yourself, it is perfectly fine for your friends do them for you. Like, you don't gotta do everything by yourself, even if you can, fine for others to do so too. Then cooking for him, slapping his forehead with the fever patch, and lastly, giving him his cold pills. Next day, Haruka got better, screwed class, flew immediately to Ren, to finally open up with everything built up inside, with Ren just going into more detail in regards to Haruka & Kotoha's convo from yesterday, in addition to some requotes learned way back by Touma. I really hope that Haruka deciphers what he'd been told by Ren, and apply flawlessly towards his classmates in the upcoming episode. For us 2 hop onto the next arc at once. |
