EPISODE REVIEWS

VerifiedThe episode was slow and relaxing. Tension builds in this episode and I guess next episode will deliver. Other than that, it’s just packed with information and skipping it might make you miss crucial things for future episodes.

Despite staying mostly stagnant, this episode establishes Ryuen, the leader of class C very well! He is shown to be cruel - not just to others but to his own allies as well. There seems to be tons of internal conflict within this rivaling class already.

This episode was way more slow, a majority of it was on (more) fanservice or some corny high school confession scenes between the classmates of class D. Kind of find it hard to like the ike group in class D though, especially with that last episode; they all come off as weird.

Looking back MC and Kushida actually hung out a lot, it feels weird watching this and knowing what their interactions will become afterwards.

Overall feels like the calm before a storm. The most hype part is when the Special Test on the island is announced. My opinion about the graphics is that the shift to deep greens and browns makes the students look totally out of their element.

VerifiedWe don't get too much more information about Ayanokoji, but we do get a little hint and that makes me excited. However, there's more unnecessary fanservice in this episode. Even so, the cruise ship setting is an interesting change of pace, and the cliffhanger is exciting!

Some are just enjoying the cruise, while Ayanokōji quietly guides events from the background. He can interact with Ken and his friends and talk easily with Airi, Kikyo, and Suzune, even though he is serious.

This is starting to feel like cliché school villainy. Not gonna lie, it’s kinda weak right now. Still, sometimes the over-the-top drama turns into something unintentionally funny. Nothing major really happened here. Hoping the next episodes are way more entertaining than this.

This is where the island exam truly snaps. Pressure builds, pride clashes, and exhaustion starts showing. Horikita’s determination is tested hard, and Ayanokoji’s calm, calculated move shifts everything without drama. The vibe is tense but not loud, just quietly intimidating.

Another episode, another "fan service"! But this time first year students are on a Island survival mission 🏝️. They are on a luxurious ship and enjoying their summer vacation. Someone are busy confessing their feeling, someone are taking massage💆♀️.Class A is already living like royalty while Class D is struggling to even find a bathroom! This special test is going to be total chaos, I can feel it. Between I can sense a date between Sakura and Ayanakoji though 😌

Tournament vote episode hit different 😭 People lying, scheming, backstabbing, it’s chaos. Class D somehow comes out looking smart. Ayanokoji is quietly running the show in the background, classic move. 👀
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at the two-thirds mark of the season, Episode 8 is a critical inflection point that transforms the alliances and rivalries established through Episodes 6 and 7 into immediate, consequential choices. The internal politics of Class D reach a boiling point here, forcing characters to commit to positions they can't easily walk back. This directly feeds into Episode 9, 'Man is condemned to be free,' where the fallout from these decisions begins reshaping the class dynamic heading into the season's final stretch.
