| Can’t wait till the battles next episode! Cool to see one of the elites has good resolve outside of school |
 |
| This was a good episode in terms of backstory. Ryuuko's father and her relationship to him. The silhouette of the killer kinda looks like Satsuki, but I kinda doubt it. Also, Goori was kind enough to help Ryuuko and Mako. Seeing young Satsuki. As always, she's as badass as ever!! The battle of the four devas begins!!! Let's do this! |
| What a lot of fun. I’m ready for the battle royale. |
| I always find every one of these episodes so blood rushing, keeps the adrenaline running making me want more |
| Gnyo ho! |
| I can't shake the feeling that Gamagori's pink Chevrolet Bel-Air is an Utena reference lol It's clearly not the same car, but the color scheme and interior decor look pretty similar. Not to mention the guy transforming into a car, apparently lol The parallels between Satsuki and fascism are quite clear through the 'Naturals Election,' which is a very skillful turn of phrase, both connoting the intended 'survival of the fittest' intention while wrapping it in the language of liberal democracy and meritocracy. Hannah Arendt describes the Nazi regime as one that perpetuated a constant state of chaos, which provides in turn the excuse for the government to impose order and legitimize its claim to extralegal actions due to a state of exception. And of course, despite the hopes of the masses, one and two stars have no ability to win the Naturals Election by design, but rather this exercise is a means for the established ruling elite to reassert its legitimacy. By throwing the system she has created into disorder, Satsuki pursues her ideological goal of culling from the lower eschelons of authority the 'weak' as well as reaffirming the existing elites as deserving of their positions in the eyes of the hoi polloi. In a sense, Satsuki is more pure of heart than any ultranationalist regime, since as her contempt is for almost all of her subjects equally, rather than a designated outgroup. |

| Wow, that escalated quickly, Gamagoori is probably my favorite character so far, a guaranteed favorite opposing character for sure. His backstory seems even more interested than Matoi's, talking about her, I was expecting ti to be way more dramatic, but it turned into a silly mess as soon as her father appeared. |
| Great episode! I really like that the student council ain't really evil, they're just very extreme with their ideals. On that note, I did not expect Gamagoori to be a fucking masochist lmao, that was hilarious, even his Ultima Uniform is like some masochistic shit. That explains why he uses a whip lmao. A king of the hill huh, looking forward to that. |
 |
| This was a nice way to let the viewers know more about gamgoori without actually making him battle ryuko directly. He's definitely feeling more likeable which is nice to see. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of this arc plays out |
 |
| Gamagoori's an interesting fellow, just can't hate him. Now Ryuko against Elite four, damn.... |
 |
| So beneath that veneer of a hardass disciplinarian is a masochist who loves to be "disciplined". A fitting contrast and the fact that he's so serious only makes it even funnier. |
| Oh damn, Mako had a lot of near death experiences! |
