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.
i actully think that Katsuragi guy is A class leader i mean he have everything it takes to be one. smart and good senses

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.

NORMAL SCHOOL SETTINGS?! This is borderline dystopia on an artificial island in Japan. Get real!


Dude, that's exactly what I am saying. What you describe, which is also what I said, bears no connection to the concept of the show presented in the first episode, i.e. a bunch of guys going to a prestigious school. The show is set in the real world, there's no indication of supernatural nor dystopian elements, thus my comments.

That blond tarzan is really weird x_x So is Horikita, she looked sick during this episode.. Again, a stupid conversations between the students about love interests and bathroom.. who cares about that? it's really cringey.. Ike surprisingly become a better character, and that girl from class c, i can't trust her. Maybe that delinquent from class c forced her to do that.

awesome that they are giving this arc the proper pacing to setup the story. This should last another 3 episodes.

Too many ppl in this thread apparently can't watch anything but shoot-them-up non-stop action shows. They should go ahead and drop this.

101 comments, just want to emphasis it more.

"We should appoint a leader that responsible and not much stand out", choose Horikita.

It should be said, "let's appoint a leader that's mainstream and other class will obviously know about it"

In the end of this arc I'll make a super mega facepalm, if all class D student get shocked that other class know Horikita is the leader. LOL

Interesting quote this time actually. So
a wholeweek surviving on the island is part of this test then.
This will be tough.Looks like there is a plan between class C
and elements of Class A here. Its also interesting to see that
even in A there are two factions at play. Though the basis is
of course survival they can still use the points if they want
to but it will be dear. 30k of points for the reward sure is a
incentive. So the key concept here is freedom of choice then.
Being outdoors and being around people is not Suzune's
forte then. Learning to be independant is also part of this
test as well it seems. Sharing one toilet between them all will
be hard though. Using logic to convice people was cool.
Figures that Airi would want to pair with Kiyotaka though.
So the spots on the island allow the gaining of bonus points.

The leader thing was also interesting as well. So the bold guy
is the leader for class A then. Airi's reaction after hiding for
so long and having Kiyotaka's hand on her mouth was kinda cute.
The tricky thing about spots is that only a leader can
take possession of it and that it needs to renewed as
too thus revealing the leader. Suzune as the leader
hmm she's certainly responsible enough. The spot that
they found sure was a nice spot though. Learning how
to delegate is also something that a leader should know
too. Airi only has eyes on Kiyotaka so i don't think
that guy has a chance. Ibuki got abundoned by her class then.
Its nice that Ike gets to show his stuff and in the process get
others to respect him. As long as the class stays united
they should be fine. But using their points wisely is the best
advice for them. So their first setback was Koenji deserting
them.

I have same view with you.

I mean, don't they go to this school because they want to secure a spot on University and get a job, right?

It's like doing the same thing with every other students in Japan with extra steps. Pretentious step if I may say. I really think they could go with normal method and they will still have the same result.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the narrative wasn't true in this episode. Just because we watched a leader get picked doesn't mean some type of switch was made, we didn't actually see the kid in the boat also. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up being useful and cunning. I doubt the forty year old bald guy is the leader of A also.

Lol wtf Koenji XD
That guy is dangerous. A hopeless maniac XD

Horikita being the leader is predictable tbh. It should've been that glasses guy who was opposing the idea of personal toilet for girls.

I wonder if it was a good idea to let Ibuki in their team. I mean, it could've been class C's ploy as far as we know. If left alone, she would've gone to the boat and Class C would've lost their points. Considering that, it seems unlikely they'd want that to happen.

Ughh, stupid Koenji >:( other than that crazy Tarzan though, I actually really enjoyed this episode! We got to see the strengths of some characters in a different setting, like Ike and Yukimura.

Some people was expecting a scene with Ayanokoji and Horikita in this episode... Maybe the next episode will be more interesting...

But the 'Tarzan' doesn't look ill and Suzune does... Defo the monkey isn't.

Kushida is turning out to be a b*tch ever slowly. But her character is so intriguing.

Sigh.

For those who are interested, the anime is following very slow the light novel.
Atm we are on 2 vol (6 vol total), if the anime ends with 12 episode. Then it will finish with the end of 2nd vol.
In this arc Ayanokoji is the most badass out of all six vol. The ending is epic.


Thanks for the information ! I really want to pick it up especially since nothing's better than the original source material. PLUS I'M DYING TO KNOW what ayanokoji does this time! ON EDGE

Once again inconsistencies from changing characters roles caused all this complaint of picking Horikita being too obvious. Please remember:

1. It was Ichinose who fooled C class student during Sudo case and not Horikita.

2. War declaration in the pool episode never happened in the original source.

Horikita is not yet well known to other people from other classes at this point. Hirata and Karuizawa is often seen as the leader of the D class instead.

And what was that ending? So he did that on purpose?
Btw i don't think that the bald guy is the real leader of his class.

Koenji bailing isn't surprising in the slightest considering how he's acted throughout the entire show so far, but it certainly makes things more interesting, not least because it completely ruins D Class' budgeting. Also, I'm not surprised about the others, but it surprises me how Ayanokoji seems reasonably happy to help out Ibuki, despite her being from another class. Granted, she's an outcast from C Class, but that doesn't mean she can't be trying to help them anyway; Ayanokoji did admittedly have a brief moment of suspicion about it by the looks of things, so I can only assume he's going along with this just to avoid standing out from the rest of the Class, who will almost certainly want to help Ibuki.

I don't think the bald guy is actually their leader. He held out his card out in the open when he was talking about playing it safe to the green-haired guy lol.

Ayanokoji definitely was suspicious of the blue-haired girl. I wonder if she really is a spy.

And does Koenji really not care about the class? Seems like him though haha.

So many questions to be answered...

If the anime has 12 or 13 episodes the ending will be so forced and leave undeveloped characters like some of the Class D or the class A. I think is better that the anime has at least 24 episodes to end the plot well... About the chapter is 'meh', this arc sounds promising despite I prefer that don't leave the school because the main plot begins there and it was better to continue there. The series went downhill so fast (the series had 7 until episode 5 and now has 5 in my score) Also the episode focus much in some boring characters like Sakura and wasted moments in things like the bathroom. The only good thing is the blond guy and the ending. 2/5

I saw many people complain about the toilet scene as well. It is actually quite an important event in the LN. This toilet problem is what gives rise to friction between the boys and girls of class D, and without proper cooperation there is no way the class can survive. Even if they somehow manage to survive, it will cause a big rift in the class which will be problematic for future class cooperation. In the original source, the fight is stretched longer and very tense. Hirata is under huge stress to keep both side calm.

That is also exactly why this island is chosen as the stage of this special examination. This exam is mean to test students survivability, adaptability, cooperation, management and taking compromise. This arc is also a show case where students like Horikita who are perfect in classroom setting is pretty much useless in this forest setting. On the other hand, Ike and Sudo is very useful to have around in this unhabitat island setting.

Also about this wrapping up and character development. There is nothing much that can be done really. LN still ongoing without much being revealed. They will probably ended with how class D manage in this special exam.

Koenji seems to enjoy forest a lot and showing-off his athletic skills!
Looks like Sakura is slowly falling for our MC!
Class D decides Horikita to be their leader this time...
Is Ibuki of Class a spy or just a lone wolf?

I think this episode was definitely getting back on track. After two pretty bad episodes in a row. But there was still a lot of dumb stuff here. And steadily slipping animation quality. Not that it was great to start with. But there was a noticeable dip in this episode to me. Especially with how they animated Sakura weirdly. And the POV vine swinging scene. Still have no idea where they're going with that dude's arc. I hope the rest of this series can turn it around to being at least halfway decent again.

Bruuh, that Class C student sure experiences a lot of shit from her class, huh? Poor girl. And now she's surprise with Class D's kindness and hospitality, but don't be fooled by Kushida. Lmfao.

I really ship Sakura and Ayanokouji. Gaaaah.

Such a good episode. Finally, I caught with this anime's episodes. Haha.
