Pretty fun episode. We got Handa and the guys with a sleepover as part of the field trip.

Quite an episode for the boys to make some decent memories. Hell, I think even Handa had fun. As usual, Handa's mind has intense thoughts about being outdoors. The "school rivalries" though..

Field trip with another school. It seems like Suzuken's character, very popular, sees Handa-kun as rival. Even those who follow him and Handa-kun's fans are fighting each other. lol @ Aoi-san's character's eyes are fake (using eye contact) and his friend was shocked.

lol @ Aoi-san's character likes Hosoya-san's character when he was girlish. After hearing that Handa-kun never talked to everyone, Suzuken's character tried to make friends with him, who rejected his offer to be friends. Handa-kun told him he has friends, instead of feeling alone. Similar people attract each other. Poor Handa-kun.

Another school group in ED instead of normal Handa-kun and his group. Two stories next.

A field trip with another school! Handa's group and Suzuken's group aren't that friendly with each other. Handa declined to be Suzuken's friend!

White-haired Handa who is practically the opposite of him. Yin/Yang dynamic I guess? In the white-haired Handa's "followers" is a girl with a voice that makes her sound like a guy (unless its a transgender or cross-dressing male).

Oh and not-Kokonatsu (I forgot his name unfortunately) was at his best this episode.

Fun episode, Quite an amusing school trip.

Handa just can't catch a break even on a school trip xD

I never figured out if that trap in Ichimiya's party was a girl or a guy.

Kinda sad how Handa rejected Ichimiya's friendship but it was nice that he helped Ichimiya change his attitude.

That ED change. xD

Episode of against "alternate" people Handa and the gang. And that soflens person, I knew that he should go "against" Akane instead. But since he got two "similarities" with Handa Club which is "Ryo's model-like appearance" and "Akane's past of become a pretty boy", I guess it can't be helped right? LOL
And more person saw the "truth" after talking to Handa. And about Yuki snapped... Whoa.

The Handa Squad is one of the funniest and most coolest friendships I have ever watch. They are amazing, even the AverageJoe is kinda cool!

I really hope that in Barakamon they make a class reunion with Handa, that is going to be a masterpiece!

I'm pretty sure he's a guy, since he is voiced by a male.

THE EYE HOLY CRAP I FREAKED OUT SO HARD WHEN THE EYE HAPPENED

I didn't even notice that big eyes like that are not what's been happening thus far, anime has conditioned me to treat those as normal... And then that scene happened. I barely registered the rest of the episode, thanks a lot, The Eye Scene.

So am I the only one that thought the Ichimiya force looks like the main 4 of Bleach? Got Rukia, Orihime, Ishida, and Sado right there.

And considering Sousuke https://myanimelist.net/character/143537/Sousuke_Kojika wears a male uniform, shares the same bedroom with the other guys, and the flashback showed how he used to look like a normal guy, pretty sure he isn't a girl..

They didn't get to do anything lmao. Instead, they cleaned the beans that were scattered by Handa XD

Can't believe that Yukio slapped a fanboy of Ichimiya. Yukio is the only one who understands Handa haha.

EY THE con Handa is drowninggg hahaahaha.
Good episodee!

I liked seeing the Handa Force make fun memories, and Kondou's protectiveness over Handa was heartwarming this episode! Kondou was right, when he said Handa is more sensitive than he appears. :) LOL, indeed, it was surprising when Kondou slapped Tsukasa! But poor Handa was pushed into the pond, when the gang were trying to protect him... :P And as expected, Handa didn't interpret his gang's concern for him as them being his friends - he thought Aizawa was complaining, that Tsutsui was threatening him, that Reo was extorting him, and that Kondou was making a demand. xD Well...at least Ichimiya recognized that his supporters are his friends. :)

Handa-kun truly reminds viewers that, we sometimes don't notice the thoughts and feelings people have for us... ^^ Handa has no idea how much he has affected people's lives, and how loved he is! Thinking back to bedtime... The Handa Force probably would have fought back with Shiro High, after they made that doll that said, "Handa's a sham," and threw it down their window, but since Handa was motionless (scared from Kondou's scary mention of a ghost xD), the crew chose to follow his lead and go to bed. Without realizing it, Handa actually sets a great example for his classmates!

It's too bad Kawafuji chose not to go to his school trip... It could have been fun for him to create memories. ^^

It would be nice in somewhere along the way in Barakamon, Handa reunites with his gang, and he realizes that he was actually the school's idol. xD And it would be cool to see Ichimiya's gang and the Handa Force reunite someday, now that they're friends. :)

I wasn't really crazy about this episode. But, I did like the closing credits where they replaced the usual characters with their counterparts.

Yep, as I've said before Yukio is the best character, this was actually an enjoyable episode.
Personally the most enjoyable moments of the show are when he's around since he's not brainwashed by Handa, really carrying the show for me.

Anyways, glad they toned down the extreme and honestly nonsensical and annoying misunderstandings a bit here, wish they could keep this feel for ther est of the episodes.
"In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH
