The 4 walls are broken and he has a Kaji reference. He should be aware by now that nothing he does will work out and he will end up back at the bench

I love how everyone is talking about the Jojo and Kaiji reference, but am I only one that heard the Darth Vader Theme playing during the bench-kun scene with Asunaro??

That shit was gold. Also love how bench-kun was placed in the middle of the whole roof..

Not sure if I trust Asunaro so far.. She's cute but something seems off. Even Cosmos is shadowing Asunaro.

Well, it is obvious, even at this stage, that Pansy is going to be the one who triumphs in the end. But Cosmos is the best for me. She's definitely onto what is happening. She's taken herself out of the limelight but the last scene shows that she has worked out what is happening. She's a great character.

This will becoming more exciting and more interested in coming next episode... Although there are lots of scene that cut out from the manga including the dance practice between joro and panji inside the library that they exchange joro and asuno dance at the top of the building...

Anyways I expected the next episode is more revelation and more enterogation between asuno and cosmos that asuno will become a first victim to become a new rejected squad member...

Asunaro is so shady....

I bet she planned all this shit so she could have Joto for herself

Why is Joro so innocent at the end of the episode though? He spent good portion of the episode lusting over Asunaro himself but by the end feels like he lost interest.

$10 says that Asunaro has been planning every single aspect of this because she's in love with Joro and wants all other girls to lose interest in him so she has him all to herself.

Damn, girls are so awkward in this show.. I dont mind them being "unrealistic" since its Anime but dang.. its going way too far and pretty much anything they do is ridiculous... to a point where Im not sure if I actually still like to watch this, even though I liked it a lot in the beginning :/
Btw this comes from a guy who enjoys the Ecchi tag a lot which can go with a lot of weird scenes... so yeah, its that ridiculous..

Why have we not started calling Bench-kun Emperor Bench-kun yet?
OR Darth Bench?
Damn,that thing gives me the creeps :)

On a side note,forget Asunaro wanting Joro all to herself,I think Bench-kun wants Joro all to itself,since he's already shown he's partway to the dark side :)

Sweet virgin Mary!

This series is going nowhere for me, I mean this basically just turned into a rotten gag. Fuck, I can't believe I chose this piss over blade of immortal, biggest mistake of my life. At this moment, even the writer is out of ideas and just uses thigh shots and harem baits to call viewers. I Would've wrote a much good plot than this.

Even the new girl follows the same path. When it started it had some great potential, but now, nothing they'll do will revive it no matter who says what. You may bicker and say it is a fire show, but you just deluding your sorry self.

It's like choosing another partner in a relationship and you end up regretting that decision, and now you must live with that person because you're stuck with them. You always ask yourself how it could've been with the other person.

honestly bench-kun is the only honest and straight forward character in this show that isn't a complete twat ,how can a now harem have so many unlikable characters that make even me groan when they appear not getting my hopes up with that new first year either.

thought the reporter girl was great calling out shit like it is but even she fell into the trap that is a rom-com harem

For a second I thought the Star Wars empire theme was playing during the bench scene

This is turning out to be one my favorites of this season

My current goal is to revamp all the character details for High School DxD and have all the characters included in the DB.

I knew Asunaro could not be trusted, the moment she invoked Bench-san I knew she was up to something, she didn't even have the time to investigate if he is in a relationship with Himawari, Cosmos and Sumireko, she fully accuse him of being a pervert and a scumbag and now his school life is again a disaster thanks to the horrible rumors about Joro.
I swear that I can't stand the laughter when Bench-san appears, even it soundtrack is similar to Darth Vader's, that bench is evil, besides all the disasters Joro has experienced in these 5 episodes begin with that damn baseball game.
Asunaro has practically Joro's balls, he will have to prove that he is not flirting with the three girls, but things do not improve since Cosmos gives him the news that he will participate in the festival of flowers and he will have to dance With three girls

I laughed a lot when Joro asks his girl friends not to see each other for a while and the three refuse, once you start a harem you can't walk away, it's a golden rule Joro. What I like is that Joro puts the safety and integrity of the three girls as a priority, Joro can be rotten from the inside but he is a good boy.
Cosmos is very manipulative, although she is very cute, but this bothers me because she uses false tears and her lack of attention to have Joro close to her.
Today we met another of the girls who appear in the opening, Kamata is in first year and seems to have believed one of the rumors about Joro, which ends up causing her to withdraw from the flower dance, but in return Sun will be her replacement, I see the doujinshis drawing themselves at the speed of light.
The scene where Himawari, Cosmos and Sumireko change to practice the dance was of excellent quality, I was satisfied with such perfection and then the pleasant afternoon that the group has was very rewarding, is good to see them have a good time as friends, but the face Asunaro had was not convinced me at all, she is plotting something evil, she is like Bench-san.
I knew that something bad would happen, the newspaper Asunaro prepared to expose Joro as an scum enemy of the women "accidentally" was printed and delivered and now the popular girls of his class treat him like a bastard, the worst thing is that now the practices for the dance were canceled and Joro was left alone again and Asunaro seizes her opportunity and decides to practice with him.
That final scene with Cosmos watching from the shadows makes it clear to me that she also suspects about Asunaro, at least Joro has an ally, I hope we will soon know what Asunaro is up to and why she wants to ruin Joro?

What I did not want to happen is happening, Himawari and Cosmos fell in love with Joro, after what happened with Sun I can not believe that this happened, Sumireko already has a double and big advantage and I also suspect about Asunaro's attitude, so I wouldn't be surprised that she is also in love with Joro, but it's just a guess, in one of those maybe Asunaro loves one of the three girls.
The only thing that bothers me about this episode is that we didn't have enough screen time with Sumireko, I feel cheated.

This episode went from fun to serious real quick.

We are greeted by Bench-Kun in this episode.

I feel sad for the MC but Asunaro is helping him. Or is she planning something?

Also, what's up with President Cosmos? I guess she's caught up with Asunaro's plan or she's gonna try something. Well, we'll find that out next week.

Overall a pretty good episode with lots of comedy elements.

LMAO omg... the fucking bench with the start wars bootleg music and vader breathing... I don't even watch Kaiji, but i know enough about the anime to know that that wasn't just an amusing reference, it's perfectly contextualized for the nerve-wracking intensity XD

Cosmos you little goofball rascal... She's way too honest and pure! (she just needs to curb the yandere a bit lmao) I love her antics. I feel like i'm falling in love with her more than Pansy... We'll have to see if Pansy can top her ;P

Ahhh i started seeing it part way through, Asunaro's gotta be in it for herself haha... omfg.


Definitely cooking up for more spicy crazy drama nonsense.

Definitely love this ridiculous manipulative battle of who's gonna take the dom position haha!

...I dunno if i just watched this ep at the wrong time/mood or if it was missing something, but i wasn't laughing as much this ep even though there were plenty of amusing gags.

Actually loved this episode. Bench-kun strikes again and I feel like Asunaro is def trying to go in for Joro or something. In the scenes before when they were trying to find a 3rd girl for the dance, she looked like she was going to ask if she could be the third girl. Looks like it came true in the end, either because she probably likes Joro or shes weird and really wanted to do the dance that badly to the point where she would ruin the reputation with Joro and his other friends. Pansy could again just be trolling and this might just be another 1000iq play by her to get Joro closer with her.

This is reminding me more and more of an updated Urusei Yatsura with Joro playing Ataru quite well. Bench-kun is essentially Cherry - bringing terrible luck to Joro every time he shows up. The big difference between the two series is that there is no "heroine" yet - all of the girls are ruthlessly manipulative and Joro is stupid enough to always be one step behind all of them.

All-in-all, I'm loving this series so far!

I think Asunaro might be the scummiest character this show has introduced thus far. She writes a false article that deliberately misconstrues numerous details, uses that to blackmail Joro essentially, then tails him for however long looking for any more "evidence" to justify publishing the article (and looking for even the faintest acts as evidence). Then, she claims that the article was "accidentally" published and supposedly goes to retrieve them all herself and clear Joro's name, then acts to help him with the dance. That's repulsively manipulative, considering that the entire situation is her damn fault to begin with; while I can see how the photos with Cosmos and Pansy could be misinterpreted as Joro leading them on, everything else we saw had nothing to do with Joro leading anyone else on. And Asunaro obviously spread the slipper rumour around, given that no one else should have been in the library during that interaction between Joro and Pansy.

That aside, this episode was pretty funny until it started taking itself too seriously at the end (a problem we saw with the halfway point of the first arc as well, notably), and the return of Bench-kun was hilarious.

"We are back !" -Bench-kun and Baseball-chan

I must say, everybody on this anime is actually very smart at planning something. I have a feeling that Cosmos actually know what Asunaro planned, but she choose the safe way to reveal that, and if it's true then another "CSI Detective" part like what Pansy done in episode 2 will happen again.

And, do you notice that this anime gave very much 4th wall jokes ?

couldn't agree more, and i think the reason people are easily convinced by asunaro's scheme is because she's really good with her words and incredibly manipulative, almost like the media nowadays.

I don't trust Asunaro one single bit. I'm betting she's the one behind all this. Why?
1. She looked disappointed when Joro found out the 3rd girl for the dance has been replaced. Then after the friends stopped practicing together she offered to help Joro dance.
2. When the newspaper article was published, Cosmos was about to call back all the releases, but Asunaro stopped her, just so she wouldn't find out about her plan.
3. Cosmos appearing at the end of the episode. She said she was going to help Joro in some way. I can't think of any reason why she was on the rooftop if she was trying to fish something out of Asunaro.

Newspaper girl Asunaro is sure to be suspicious...

OH SHIT Bench-kun is back, plus that Kaiji reference, and the Star Wars-esque sound, OMFG that brings back memories of Joro's mindfishery. It's damn fascinating that Asunaro has all bases covered about Joro, but yet information can be true/false depending on the outcome.

The upcoming (planning) school festival SURE IS LIVELY...at the helm that Joro could outwit his "flowery boy" image amidst all 3 girls and Taiyo back as the clique of friends. To dispel all this, Cosmos' acting was weird but funny AF,

In the end, it's that 1st-year Kamata that dug him EVEN DEEPER, with Joro acclaiming yet another rumor persona: the Slipper Man. Oh well, it's back to the clique.

Plus that newspaper fiasco, 50/50 but still highly suspicious of Asunaro spoiling their relationship once more. The final scene could be said as an important turn as Cosmos is keeping a close tab on Asunaro, for all it may be her who triggered the sequence of events.

Turning my head topsy-turvy at the events now, just wondering how will Joro deal with all this.
