| I think it's a stretch but I forgot to mention that Hikigaya eating a tomato because of Yuigahama is funny. But I can't help to think that it's a metaphor of how Yuigahama x Hikigaya would go. Hikigaya doesn't like the tomatoes. He grimaces at it and think its disgusting. But Yuigahama offers it to him because it's good for him. He doesn't outright refuse but he consumes it anyway. Pretty disgusted but he doesn't gag. But in time, with decent exposure to it, maybe he would learn to love or appreciate tomatoes. Now replace tomatoes with being a "normie".  |

| What a bummer, I didn't expect Saki to already work for Yukino. At least Zaimokuza is fully on board with the plan. Anyway it seems Hachiman just wants to hand over the win to Yukino by creating a way worse prom plan and force the adults to choose? I can't see Yukino accepting that lol. |
ShiroHachi said: ToraiS said: the anime shows, mainly in this season, everytime 8man rejecting Yui feelings. Like episode 4, 2 weeks ago. Hachiman compares Yui's dream of becoming a bride to fake utensils in the kitchen. He might be able to live in it, but he felt that was not what he wanted, he felt it was not genuine. Well this monologue was skipped. I think Hachiman thinks of Yui as a comfort zone and an ideal replica, but in the end he just uses her to run away and compromises on what he wants. Hachiman appreciates his relationship with Yui and he doesn't want to hurt her, but I wouldn't call it romantic. Well this will all become clear at the endShe lies. So what? It's not like Hikigaya and Yukinoshita doesn't lie too; they just do it in roundabout ways. So what if she's being selfish and wanting a fairytale ending? Is it wrong to entertain one's own desire, even though she wouldn't come out on top? She's been selfless most of the time, pretending not to notice Yukinoshita's feelings for Hikigaya. It just goes to show that she's human. Hikigaya refused her twice in S1, yes. First because of their mutual misunderstanding and that Yui is giving him attention because of pity. Second, is that summer time "confession" where she was conveniently interrupted by a phone call. Hikigaya jumped on this because he knew he couldn't say no to a cute girl crying, lol. He doesn't "always" refuses her advances. The honey toast is the prime example of this. After that, there isn't any more instances where Yuigahama's advances are rejected. Even Hikigaya learned to pick up hints in which in the past he abhorred so much. Again, actively denying the change that Yuigahama brings to Hikigaya is dismissing like 1/3 of the show. Saying Hikigaya not making Yukinoshita run for president because he likes the club and he doesn't want to lose interacting with her is technically true. But it's not the whole story, only 1/3 of it. A microcosm of my argument really. 1/3 of the reasoning is because of Yuigahama and another 1/3 of it is because he likes the club. His reasoning isn't specifically for Yukinoshita only. You forgot the part where he says that Yui's dream of becoming a bride is painfully realistic and that he doesn't even believe it is a dream. He also ends his monologue saying he can't tell if the things around him were real or fakes -- but that it just seems to be. That isn't even a rejection. He's just dubious at Yuigahama's advances as always. Not to mention, it's a far cry of his mentality in the past. He wouldn't even consider it as something real. But now, he acknowledges that it does exist. Even if it's a fake or not. |

He just couldn't turn his feelings into words and explain why they were fake. I can say that to you too. Doesn't change or prove anything. |

| My prediction was correct. I totally forgot to say it in the other episode discussion, but if the school wouldn't let them do a prom, just do an "anti-prom" prom. I'm not sure how many people here are familiar with the concept, but it's basically the same as prom in high school but it's not directly advertised by the high school. However, anti-proms usually still have some staff helping out to ensure their student's well-being. Since Soubu High is trying to replicate Western prom, this is is literally the best solution to fight against the call to cancel prom. Iroha being a "loner" caught me by surprise. From the way she was represented and even elected as president for the student council, I thought she was at least around the same popularity as Yui maybe even more. Seems like her main reason for prom is literally to just send off all of her higher classmen friends. I think most of us got that vibe from the moment she said she wanted to do a prom. Hachiman is still up to his old ways of making another option the better choice by giving a scapegoat, which is usually him. I love Hachiman's way of finding out what to do by asking Komachi who is more sociable than he is lol. Yui helping out Hachiman is perfect since it's still technically the Service Club BUT it does end up just hurting her more. She's just asking for a lie to continue since it's convenient for her at the time. I feel so sad for Yui. I was once put in a similar situation and sometimes the lie really is just more comforting than accepting the truth straight up. Yui just wants their relationship to end in a good note. She sees herself as the glue that keeps the three together and she's willing to sacrifice herself as long as they can stay together. Yui :( I do like the character development we see in Hachiman. He's way more open to others now than how he was back in season 1. When people call him in his BS, he doesn't excuse his way out or attacks the person asking. He gives them a concrete answer for his actions. This is great character development. FUN FACT: I just realized they split up this anime into each of their season's. Season 1 was Hachiman's, Season 2 was Yukino's, and Season 3 is Yuigahama's. I mean, obviously Hachiman is intertwined in all 3 but the seasons tend to focus more on some characters rather than the others. |
ShiroHachi said: HACHIXYUKI said: Because they only care about their waifu and self-insert. They were like Yui, pretending they didn't see anything. Trying not to see that Hachiman has no feelings for her or Hachiman feelings and chemistry for Yukino. Trying not to see Yui's negative traits, such as she doesn't want to change, sometimes selfish, unstable about her actions, always lying, and she gives bad influence to Hachiman, like Yui always provides an excuse for Hachiman to run away from problems because Yui always acts everything is fine. This will be explained again in the next few episodes if they don't cut Hachiman's monologues again. I hope they can accept those factsStill wondering why people ship hachiman and yui... Or, maybe we just like her more? No need to get your panties in a twist. |

But now, he acknowledges that it does exist. Even if it's a fake or not. Guy if you really read the novel, I guess it's better to read it again, it's pretty clearly he interprets Yui wish to becoming a wife as being some serious thing she wants but he clearly thinks that everything around him is fake, all forgeries and he can't see himself in that situation when he is with her. Hachiman knows Yui for about a year and she already tried to make several advances on him and yet he rejected all of them in his own way. you that seems to be a LNl reader but you should be aware of anime only scenes showing several times Hachiman denying Yui feelings. Hachiman doesn't have feelings for Yui, if it's the case he would not ignore and reject indirectly this for one year when he already know everything behind her actions, instead he deviates his eyes from the incoming truth that's the dissolution of the club and him losing his connection with Yukino using Yuigahama to thinks that everything is normal and there is nothing wrong, coincidentally it's the same problem which happened in S2 Student council arc. It's better to put a end in this topic, this is getting derailed and ridiculous and this misleading "facts" that u are saying that are proven to be wrong several times in novel and will be the same in anime. This is not a thing to overcomplicate, this is stated several time in the series and it's not complex. In other words, there is nothing like "Hachiman likes Yui" this is a false statment, this is only of a few things that the author makes clear Bruh, if we were to account anything after the genuine scene up till now, there is no concrete and firm rejection to Yuigahama's advances. Never does he say "Please stop this." or any of the sort using words or in his mind when Yuigahama makes her advances. It's more common to read about him saying if he were a weak-minded person or if he were not the person he is right now, he'd get the "wrong idea" on what Yuigahama is doing. Which is akin to dissociating maybe due to his past trauma with girls like her type. If Hikigaya wasn't an ever-changing person, if he were the same Hikigaya as the "I hate nice girls." Hikigaya, then I would believe that he has no feelings for Yuigahama. But seeing as how he's not even evasive to being alone in a net cafe with Yuigahama, in contrast to how evasive he was to go on a summer festival date with Yuigahama in S1, then I beg to differ. |

| You know for a fact that a character is well-written when we as the audience feel empathetic for her in times of suffering or emotional scenes. This is what I see in Yui. Having experience unrequited love in real life made this episode heart-wrenching to watch. Her monologues are pure gold. It's as if her emotions is resonating to us audience perfectly. Well, as LN reader I understand why people have a hard time thinking how 8man and Yukino is a thing. They skipped a lot of "romance" from the first 6 volumes. But yeah if this anime continues to be this faithful to the source material I think at the end of the series people will understand the whole point and "why" Yukino. |

| 5/5 episode and Yui's monologue be having me in my feels ;-; 3 episodes in a row and all have ended with a Yui monologue, pretty sad T^T |
 |
| In theory, Hachiman's plan should work, but you never know what might happen in an anime. Ya can't help but feel bad for Yui here, ya just can't. It's really sucks knowing that there is nothing you can do to change how something will end, and I think it sucks more to watch someone else go through that. I'm just hoping that all three of them will still be friends by the end of this, cause it would really suck to see everything that has been built up come tumbling down. |
 |
| I think 8man's plan is pretty good, it's easier to decide on things when given choices on what to do. And I'm Yukino gang but, that episode still hurt like a motherfucker especially that ending scene. This is definitely where the ship has completely and utterly sunk. Now I hope from here on out the show will focus on growing Hachiman and Yukino's relationship more. |

| Totsuka wanting to know why Hikki wanted their help was a big step forward with Totsuka's development. Especially with the Group. Also I am LOVING the fact that Saki is more involved. They definitly fucked up not getting her more involved in Season 2 (even season 1 but I digress) and even Zaimokuza being involved was really cool. Yui. God damn. I love Yukino and I ship the shit out of her and Hikigaya but Yui is making me feel so bad for her. However her motives are all over the place. Does she want to be with Hikki or does she want to save the club? I am leaning more towards club now because she knows Yukino will win in the end. Great episode. Honestly Season 3 is out shining season 1 at this point and fast approaching surpassing season 2. In my opinion. Final Thing Gahama-mama and that Swim suit. Holy shit. |

| Very good today's episode, poor Yui xD, she will just have to accept the reality of Hachiman and Yukinon. |
Marinate1016 said: i feel you my man,some of the stuff in this series really complicated for me but nonetheless i move onto the next scene and still enjoy it Sometimes I just feel like I’m not but brained enough for this anime. I come online and see so many people writing theses on Reddit, MAL, etc about the social psychology of the series and the codependencies... and here I am just thinking Yui is pretty and wishing I could find one in real life. Pain. |
 |
| As every episode just continues my heart is crumbling. Big highlight towards the end where she pretends to fall asleep on 8man's shoulder. Yui has always been a favorite of mine, but her admitting defeat hurts to watch. You can definitely feel the classic pacing of SNAFU going towards a big climax, so many plots to cover with single digit episodes left as well; its going to be fun and sad watching it all close out. |

| This ep had me crying for some ten minutes :( Yui and Hachiman look like a married couple when together The ending was great and heartbreaking |
 |
| Noooo! I can't keep watching Yui suffering like this. That last scene was really sad, like fighting for something you'll never get no matter what you do. In the end we all know that Yui is gonna lose the battle, as sad as that sounds, specially for us who like her the most |
| Gahamama is undoubtedly the best part of the episode hahaha Then Irohasu's parts of course |
| brooo they can't keep getting away with ittt, ma heart D: they are really making me feel emotions for Yui these past few episode, the repetition of her knowing she's never going to get her own ending but continues to hurt herself by not speaking her emotions and just continuing to move forward, ignoring herself feels like a massive snowball effect and i do not want to know what's at the end or god help me so. Iroha's talk was interesting, i respect her reasoning for wanting to do the whole prom idea, last goodbyes to everyone and that. Damn wish my year got to go through with a prom, to bad it was shafted cus of covid and bad timing, eh oh well. This episode was pretty heavy with the Yui content as well, naturally she volunteers to help Hachiman but her lack of understanding to certain big words and aspects of his plans were absolutely adorable. Ngl was kinda with Yui with this one, i didn't fully understand what he said, but got the gist, but i know Hachiman's smart so he'll make it work xD But after, i did feel like she put on a parental-ish figure with lecturing Hachiman to eat his greens and to not be picky, and her little cute stare down of him eating got me pretty good in the heart i can't lie there. Ahhhhh, but that ending hurt, the scenario, the tears and her monologue, damn they git me good . God it's hard to see Yui drag herself through that much pain though, i understand she knows she has little to not chance but honestly, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. Next episode seems good, things are finally gonna be kicked into action with Hachiman going to the big student counsel building again from s2 and maybe also a bit more Yukino?? |
 "yabe." |
| it hurts being Yui oh man! that fake sleep Yui on Hachiman he gotta treasure that moment! 5/5. |
 |
| Though the plot of the anime is still slow at this episode, nevertheless it gives a nostalgic vibes to me at least since Zaimokuza appears in this episode. That guy really gives a happy vibes during Season 1, before the fire na— oops I mean the "genuine" problem that the plot tries to resolve. Damn, even though I'm a big #TeamYukino, but still those monologue of Yui in the end is heartbreaking. She deserves other guys to make her happy. |

sabishiihito said: Yep, its a wonder, but what can you do when 50% of her interactions have been cut from the series, and almost evry yui and iroha scenes have been. This is the exact thing anime watchers will think. It sucks to be honest, she's easily best girl, but nope, nerfed Yukino to oblivion.SkyLETV said: Another week, another episode of being Yui is suffering. "Doing stuff like this changes nothing, because the ending is already set in stone". And I wish it weren't so, I wish it wouldn't go to the obvious ending. I love this show, and I'm loving this season, but it's been pure suffering for Yui :'( Nice to see Gahamama and her amazing genetics, though. This face is pure love <3. Yui best girl! Can't say I ever remember Yukino looking at 8man like that, but somehow she's "best" girl? |
