Progress starts well in this episode. Still, problems between classes so the flow is kind of expected. The way they investigate is still slow paced and not much interesting happens. Watch if you care about the storyline, skip if you can’t handle a pace that slow.

This was a really fast paced episode with many things happening all at once, the events with Sakura being a little unpredictable since she doesn't seem willing to be an eyewitness for some reason. the reveal with Kushida feels meaningless though since there is literally no diff

Ichinose's confession scene with ayanokoji feels a little nonsensical in execution, like why would she ask a random to help her. Anyways, this episode had a lot going on, mainly building up the makin threat from class C; it was a little hard to follow with so many developments.

His discovery of Kushida's two-faced nature was so funny lolz, why would she crash out in public like that but anyways. ATP MC is not even a genius he's just great in his timing 😵

Overall, I feel like a messy legal drama. The most hype part is when a hallway incident forces everyone to take sides. My opinion about the graphics is that the CCTV footage and evening streetlights look grounded, adding a lot of realism to the tension.

While the manipulation tactics are off the charts, it's fun seeing Ayanokoji see through it all while staying calm and collected. While there was some downtime in this episode, the insightful conversations and slower moments are really enlightening and make you think.

Everyone here is hiding something about themselves. Some things others don’t need to know. In the end, they still want to help Sudo in Class D prove that he is innocent. They need a witness, but Airi doesn’t want to cooperate.

Is this even canon?seems like filler everybody lies in this school. Feels like half the class has a secret second personality. This episode was kinda tedious overall, but the Sudou fight and Kushida’s real side? Damn. Did not expect that switch at all. What a bitch

This episode hits differently. Horikita really steps up, and you can see her walls crack just a little. Ayanokoji quietly backing things from the shadows? That stood out. It’s tense and layered, you start realizing everyone’s hiding more than they show.

Sudo being Sudo😆. Now he's in trouble!!!! Sudo needs to save himself otherwise he will be OUT☠️. Class C is full of bullies. Between How did Ichinose got immense amount of points?! Something is really fishy🤔. The mind games are officially starting and I am here for it!

Relay race chaos hits 😭 Everyone’s sweating and panicking. You see who actually has skill and who’s just lucky. Ayanokoji still calm, still calculating. I’m telling you, he’s way ahead. 👀

This episode was all about those sneaky vibes. Like, no one’s saying what they really mean and everyone’s watching each other like spies or something(tbh). Horikita’s determination is honestly pitiful but inspiring at the same time. Idk 50/50 vibe on her.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the one-third mark of the season, Episode 4 pivots from the survival test dynamics of Episode 3 back toward the school's internal political landscape, grounding the series in the classroom hierarchy that defines Class D's struggle. It deepens the psychological framework around Ayanokouji and Horikita's uneasy partnership while layering in trust fractures that will fuel the strategic escalations across the season's second half. This is foundational setup — the allegiances and suspicions established here become the chess pieces for the bigger confrontations ahead.
