Another result gets revealed in this episode. First half is slow paced and full of strategy so it gets a bit confusing. Then the end hits with an intense moment. Overall 7/10

This episode emphasize on many characters interaction between class which is a rare but nice sight. The episode also deliver character devlopment pretty well, especially on the premise of each student (which is supposedly rival between each other) are forced to work as a team

Horikita doesn’t say much, but her reactions carry the episode. It’s more about internal change than external events

This episode is quiet, but it plants seeds for everything that follows. You can tell the rules of the game are about to change. LET'S GOOOO

Man instead of filler, this feels like a handover of power. The shift from Manabu to Nagumo changes the entire atmosphere of the series

The plot thickens as all the secret meetings become more and more obvious. And what an unexpected move from Manabu in the last scene. Things can only get crazier from here

Koenji is such a wildcard, you'll never know what to expect from him. The boys' deep talks during the night was so wholesome and very relatable

How does MC keep accidentally running into secret meetings and other people breaking down lol. Almost as if he's not actually a genius but a genius in timing.. Another thing, what is Zen training lol?? How do you pass that

Glasses guy probably the realest character imo, he admitted his wrongs in taking a leadership role and was honest with his group mates about his doubts. Even though he was kind of a jerk in previous seasons, I like where his character is heading!!!!

Ooh, something feels suspicious here. I like the buildup in this episode, slowly introducing a new antagonist while keeping the tension rising and making everything more intriguing.

Oh dang, Nagumo isn’t holding back as an antagonist here. That encounter was really hectic and intense, making the situation feel more dangerous and unpredictable than before.

This episode focuses more on the results of their training camp and the impact of the exams. I liked seeing Ayanokoji’s team work together—it showed good coordination and development.

Tachibana literally told him she didn't want to be a burden and I JUST WANT HER TO SHUT UP. These tests are awful and they should all just drop out and go to a normal school. the art still sucks btw

Horikita’s role continues to grow, and she’s really stepping up her game this time around. Also, there’s this new challenge the class faces that’s way more than just academics, and it’s like their entire teamwork and strategy are being tested.

This episode feels a bit slower, but it is very important for understanding the school politics. The animation captures the tense well, especially when characters are forced to cooperate. It is a good watch if you like seeing how influence is used as a weapon.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Coming off the season premiere's introduction of the mixed training tests, this episode shifts focus inward — exploring the psychological preparation and fractured alliances forming before the exams begin in earnest. It serves as a critical bridge between the initial setup and the strategic conflicts ahead, particularly spotlighting the student council's growing influence. Expect the groundwork laid here around character motivations and interpersonal tensions to pay off significantly as the season's exam arcs escalate.
