Itsuki really surprised me by just letting it all hang out in front of Aki like that because I usually find the guy so annoying
meninas_486
Aki getting put in her place in the locker room was exactly what the show needed and seeing Itsuki finally stop being a coward made that scene actually work
tsuyu_tsunami_125
The reveal in the school locker room was the only thing that actually mattered in this episode, but even that felt a bit hollow because of the short length. It is hard to care about Aki discovering Itsuki is special when the scene is over in a flash. More time was needed to let the drama breathe and develop properly
kami_kaze_80
This episode was over way too quickly and the locker room reveal felt like a wasted opportunity for seeing Itsuki and Aki actually interact more
eternatus_315
Having Aki be the one to find out first is a cool choice since she has such a big ego and seeing her world get flipped was decent
riruku_rhythm
Looking at the animation in the locker room it could have been better and it felt like they cut corners on the character designs
rukia_reaper
Itsuki getting caught by the school prince in the locker room was my favorite part because of how shocked Aki looked when she realized the truth
geeta_360
Everything happened so fast and Aki barely had time to process that Itsuki is the only functioning man left on earth before the credits started rolling
amikiri_amigo
That four minute runtime felt way too short for Aki finding out the secret and the whole thing just ended before it could get good
m1ndc0mm4nd3r
Aki hating impotent men makes the reveal in the locker room much more interesting than the previous episodes and it finally gives the plot something to actually worry about
kyurem
My pulse was definitely up during that locker room scene because Itsuki getting caught by Aki like that changed everything for the better
darkness_defender
I expected more from this locker room encounter, but the pacing felt rushed and Aki's reaction was kind of a letdown, after all the buildup
rembestgirl
The anime version of Itsuki is way better than the manga because he actually has some guts and that locker room moment proved he is ready to take charge

I couldn't believe Itsuki just let it all out in front of Aki because I was so tired of him acting like a loser but he finally acted like a man today
nunnally_lamperouge_174
Aki going from hating on all guys to being totally flustered once she saw Itsuki in the locker room was hilarious and she definitely changed her mind fast
tsuchigumo_temptress_71
It made me happy to watch Itsuki stop hiding his secret and confront the tomboy in the locker room, it was a huge step for him after being so annoying in the first two episodes.

Itsuki actually stopped whining and just showed Aki what he can do in that locker room scene and it was the best thing he has done all season he finally has some backbone
kagamine_twins_495
The world building is hilarious and Aki finding out the secret just makes the school dynamic way more interesting now that the prince is actually interested in him
reiner_ronin
That locker room reveal was the best part because Aki went from being the coolest person in school to a total mess the second she saw Itsuki was special

Wait so the third episode is finally out in English, and it lived up to the wait for sure. Seeing the school prince Aki catch Itsuki in the unisex locker room and realize he is the only one who can actually perform was such a huge moment for her character, and I loved how quickly her arrogance just completely melted away.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at the midpoint of the first half of this eight-episode series, Episode 3 follows the escalating tensions introduced in Episode 2, 'Leave It to the Teacher to Calm Things Down!' — suggesting that outside forces have already begun closing in on Itsuki's secret. This episode appears to mark the key tonal shift where active hiding gives way to acknowledgment, which directly paves the way for Episode 4, 'Finding a Fiancé,' implying the consequences of that openness ripple immediately into the next chapter.
