Let's waste points right off the bat on an outhouse. Not like there's one big bathroom all around us or anything.

Also, what makes Horikita any better a pick than Hirata and the other girl after the stunt she pulled on the beach?

Well, if nothing else, this episode lets you know that these folks belong in Class D. Lol.

So tell me somethin.. Did they depicted Ayanokouji-kun personality tally with the novel version? I dropped the manga version because I couldn't withstand at Ayanokouji-kun 's manga version behaviour,,,, , the easy-going expressionful version seems so dumb as to compare with the anime's bland version. lol


Well, Novels can express everything with texts.
The novel series shows his personality with his narration (monologue).
I've not read the manga, so I can't compare the novel with manga.

Koenji is just in his own little world lol.

Ike may be part of the dumb trio, but at least he knows what he's doing when it comes to camping. For now, it looks like class D should be able to get through this island survival thing without too many problems, but for sure something is going to go wrong. Also I feel like Horikita shouldn't have been picked as the leader, if I was in a different class she'd be one of my top choices. They probably should have picked someone that nobody would ever consider.

They found Ibuki from class C abandoned in the forest, and while there may not be any ulterior motives from her or class C, I can't help but immediately assume this is a trap.

I am really weirded out by Horikita.. why does she look so.. frail? whats going on with her? is she sick? injured?

Also Ayanokoji stopping his classmate from helping the class C girl, that angle with shadowed eyes.. what was that for? did he find something fishy?

Also damn you narcissist bastard.

My guess is they would finish this arc in episode 11 and the 12th episode will be a finale of some sort :(

They need someone who's responsible and doesn't stand out to be their leader. So they choose Horikita, the same person who declared "war" a couple of episodes ago. BRAVO

Seems like the show is back on track.

There are multiple mystery points build up here.

What is the deal with Koenji (double agent maybe?) and why did he leave the island since it costs D-class points?

Ibuki could be a key player here, she seemed to be generally abused by Ryuen but i learned to not look at the characters here at face value.

Is Katsuragi the leader of Class A? Might be a bait, who knows.

Also Ike is MVP.

i really like the characterization in this show, and it really is starting to shine as it keeps going. Sakura sure gets a lot of screentime nowadays, but with making the characters stand out, the pacing of the story takes a hit. I guess i mean that it takes too long to get to the point. There really is no reason to help Ibuki either

I think Kushida suggesting Horikita to be the leader was an attempt to spite her since Kushida secretly hates her and Horikita felt reluctant to take that position.

Aaaaaaand we are back to the tense story telling that makes this anime good. I like how this is going.

Seems like the survival training isn't as easy as they thought it was gonna be. The fact that Ayanokoji isn't making use of his intellect or physical prowess is a bit frustrating but I have a feeling that it's about to change.

Man, Sakura-san is so cute.

With each new episode i'm learning more and more that im just wasting time watching a pseudo harem anime that will ultimately go nowhere in revealing all if any of the questions that the series has poised since the beginning.

3 episodes is alot of time but something tells me they're gonna use all 3 for this survival arc.

'WAIT.... WE CANT CHOOSE HIRATA TO BE OUR LEADER... IT WOULD BE TO OBVIOUS.... LETS CHOOSE THE ONE THAT SAVED SUDO FROM BEING EXPELLED TWICE AND MADE THE GIANT DECLARATION ONTOP OF THE DIVING BOARD CLAIMING THAT SHE WOULD MAKE IT TO A CLASS... YES LETS CHOOSE HER"

They really should've chose Sudo... it could've been a MUUUUUUUCH NEEDED character dev. moment for him since they seem to only reiterate that this guys only feeling is "IMA SO ANNGERY"

And the tarzan dude. sigh.... like how does this show starts every episode with some pretentious as fuck quote from well known philosophers but still expect me to take this shit seriously.

I've been "done" with this show since episode 6 hoping that the saving grace would be learning more about ayanokouji's past but damn i was just light novel baited.

Picking Horikita as leader makes no sense, as others have pointed out. Very likely Class D will have to change leader eventually. Ike would've been a good choice, he's bland, knows his trade in the wild, unremarkable and unworthy of being a leader in other circumstances, he would've avoided all suspicion from the other classes. Would that count as a legitimate reason? Teacher used the word "legitimate" which in the anime's context is quite vague. Kushida pushed for Horikita as leader in I think a clear ploy to make her look bad when they ultimately do change leader. Horikita would have appeared to fail as a leader, and Kushida would enjoy that, considering she hates her deeply.

Surrounding the leader entering the pass in the console is a good idea but they did it badly. They just had people around, then 3 people crouching remained as they moved out. Any spy from other classes could've seen that it was one of those 3 that inserted the card on the console. Oh and Horikita's in the middle, how to attract attention 101. See below.



Should have used the whole class, takes 5 seconds to enter the card in the console. All have their ugly tracksuits anyways, so any spy or observer would attempt to differentiate each character by looking at their face, hair, etc. To counter that, they could've put their bags behind their heads, protecting the field of vision even more. Only six people surrounding 3 crouched people is not efficient, there's plenty of holes to look through with that formation.

Classes might lose points on illness or serious injuries. How about you poison Ibuki's food and render her ill? There's a penalty for removing the watches without permission, but most likely that's only about your own class. Remove her watch when Ibuki's sleeping. If Ibuki's a Class C trap to mess with Class D (why was there a towel around a branch on top of Ibuki, why did we get a shot of it before MC stopped the other guy trying to go help Ibuki?), might as well use her against them.

They're supposed to be the elite kids of Japan, it has been a show about cunning moves and competition between classes, but they make so many easily avoidable mistakes. Class A leader seriously walks out a cave with the leader card still in his hand? Really? Hopefully things get more interesting forward in this arc.

Wait a sec, so our beloved Tarzan Koenji just cost the class a full day's worth of meals then?
The way he looked didn't seem like he was ill or anything, so I wonder what's actually up with him. Doubt he's sick, and the way he navigates the forest seems too good an advantage to not use for his class.... so why the selfish move?

That said, I still don't trust the girl from C Class. She may be acting all aloof and stuff right now, but I wouldn't bet against her going Peter Bailesh on them once she figures out who the leader of D Class is. Keeping her here seems dangerous, but knowing Ayanokouji, he probably has some sort of measures to counter whatever C Class is planning.

Also, I don't trust the burly A Class dude is the leader, the way they were conversing made me think that the wimpy guy following him around that he was "managing" was the actual Leader for A Class.

As much as I love Horikita, I think choosing her as the leader was a wrong move and I can't help but think this is Kushida just being a lame bitch and suggesting her out of her spite for Horikita. How can they agree to that? She just declared war on the other classes. Talk about obvious.

Plus that Katsuragi guy, I don't think he's Class A's leader... it's most likely a bait.

And true, Sakura is cute and I like her but she kinda annoyed me a little in this episode. This is just me but I get you like Ayanokoji but don't just vote to go for a task you're not up for and slow down others in this situation.

Hirata is a good leader but he's also an obvious choice, they could have chosen Ike or Sudo or the glasses guy, Yukimura.

Ibuki from Class C, that may be a trap or not but that Class C guy, Ryuuen that was harassing Horikita would most likely use her.

As for Koenji, such a bitch, he basically just screwed them over when he could have been useful in a way with his Tarzan moves. He doesn't look ill at all

Speaking of being ill, I can't help but think Horikita isn't in the best condition since the last episode.

WTF, on the 1st day of being in a deserted Island, they discuss about toilet matters for the girls? It's a jungle for crying out loud they can go any where, and it won't be considered polluting the environment.........

Poor Ibuki, it looks like she's a victim of Ryuuen's domestic abuse..... and still, she manages to be a bitch towards the D Class, and as for Koenji, looks like he hates sleeping in the jungle and feigns illness when he was able to swim that far back to the ship, either he's an asshole or is working with any of the other classes. Cu'z by the looks of it he's sooo filthy rich that his folks can buy him a slot from A to C.

This was a good episode also did no one catch Kushida plotting to ruin Horikita?

She purposefully voted Horikita as leader, so if things go south they'll blame the leader.

The Chad of Class D, does not care about anyone he basically spent the day having fun. He probably lapped the whole island twice and went back to the ship, this was like going to the gym for him and now he's going home.

The Class C girl is 100% going to screw Class D over, the whole scene with her getting beaten up seemed staged, why did she just so happen to get beat up when Horikita was present? Another clue is the bit where Ayanakoji grabs the guy shoulder with his eyes not being visible, he KNEW IT WAS A TRAP but decided to go along with it. Mark my words this will bite Class D in the ass.

Also the glasses guy who's getting a lot more screentime is good, from the spoilers I've seen he becomes one of the new friends within the MC's circle. I hope to see a lot of him and I'm happy to know the MC doesn't stick with the 3 idiots.


5/5 episode for me.

This episode for Classroom of the Elites was just another episode of absolutely nothing. I don't know why I even expect anything at this point from this show sadly.

For starters like many others have shared previously, the fact that Horikita was chosen leader just makes absolutely no fucking sense to me whatsoever. Kushida being a bitch? sure that would be plausible, but for a school set around making elites for the future of Japan the other classes are just as much of an idiot as Class D is.

For starters, the scene with Class A's bald guy, I don't know his name, your pal is being a dumbass ranting about how your setting your class up, also why do you proceed to explain and talk more about the subject matter, after already saying that "its not a good idea to talk in areas like these." and then go over to the corner near Ayanokoji and check to see if anyone's listening. The thought process of these characters is absolutely fucking stupid and its very annoying.

The stupid shots of the love interests, and arguing over bathrooms, is absolutely fucking stupid and there is NO need for 3 minutes of those scenes. they took roughly at most 6 minutes of this show arguing over bathrooms and talking about who they're interested in, it has NOTHING to do with your survival on the island, the bathrooms decision is a simple quick decision that doesn't need to have as much screentime as it did.

also, of all people to make a problem in class D, why do you make it the blonde guy? isn't this show about struggles between classes? i can't and haven't been able to take this blonde guy seriously and it is sad that they waste my time just to give me a shot of him saying "ah, the moon is beautiful" half nakedly going onto a boat feeling absolutely fine lol.

Also, when is Ayanokoji going to be "serious" its quite annoying how much the anime teases the shit out of him and he still hasn't done really anything. The more I watch this show the more I realize that I'm wasting time every week, maybe i'm just nitpicking too much but the last 3 episodes have been some of the worst episodes of this show so far.

Once again, I feel like this survival test is quite far-fetched for a show that is established in a normal school setting. Cooperation and leadership skills are not... tested like that. I feel like this show is trying to incorporate many things at once but in doing so it fails to be realistic. The trial was disproportionate to the actual circumstances and was in a very serious tone, the capitalist system with the grades also caused huge drama for no reason, now this survival test which is like a Hunger Games fanfic. I feel like there's a simplistic narrative (a bunch of guys in a school) and the author is trying to do many things that don't exactly fit to it.

Anyway, disregarding all of this it was an enjoyable and interesting episode, building up for whatever's next.

I still don't know what the show is really going for, but to hell with it... I was entertained. We got freakin' Tarzan (hopefully his actions will become clear later) and some nice, consequential character interactions that don't just revolve around Horikita. Was really nice to see the sheer lack of "plot", as I hope the rest of the show can maintain this kind of tone.

First time in a while for this show that I really wanted the next episode.

Well that was way more interesting than anything the anime has showcased up until this point. Why couldn't the whole show about this instead?

The game reminded me a bit of something called General we used to play in PE class back in elementary and middle school, except with points instead of role cards. Really fun stuff, just curious what they'll do with it

For one, why not just put a tent right next to the bonus point switch and cut a small hole in its backside wall so that you can reenable it from the inside? That way you could have like 10 people go into the tent without any outside spy knowing who the leader was out of the group since they can't see into the tent. Way more reliable than just surrounding 1 or 2 people with body blocks. Oh and Ayanokouji should never refer to Horikita as "leader" even within their own camp in case someone is listening, unless multiple people do it to each other as bait. Speaking of which, that Class A encounter was a pretty blatant bait if I ever saw it, though considering that it's Class A there's a possibility that they made a reverse psychology bait and that that guy actually is the leader after all. I wouldn't discount the possibility at least

Either way there's a lot of fun strategies and mind games that can be employed in a setting like this on top of the actual survival aspect. Really looking forward to seeing how this arc plays out. Hopefully it won't disappoint

Koenji is so hilarious, such a great character. Amaziiiiing. Pretty much whole class cant keep up with the guy or keep him in check. He does whatever he wants and thats great.
Lots of interesting premises and buildups for potentially really amazing stuff to come. I liked Sakura Ayanokoji's moment. Not much Kushida this week but all good.
We got even Ike's development/screentime this episode.
I like how kind class D is to a class C student, Ayanokoji in general is pretty kind to everyone, even apologizing to Sakura for holding her

Also i wonder if the reason why we got Karuizawa Kei so much this episode is because of pissed off fans complaining how she got literally not scenes. Its all better for me, one of the best girls there much better than Horikita for sure, if you are a novel reader especially.

This shit is boring, everything from the character dialogue, the subject matter they quarrel about (even though logical toilet issues), blended in with typical anime tropes and tee-hee characteristics. They look like they're trying to be so serious but honestly I've felt greater build up in PBS Chanel 13 shows. Really don't care, knew this was bullshit by episode 3 but don't really like dropping stuff.
