EPISODE REVIEWS

The plot is getting more intense in this episode. Additionally, Suzune shows a significant character development. And then the tension is building up and reached its peak truly a great moment in this episode.

Very tactical episode. We get to see more of the first year's personality and strategy though Ayanokoji approached them suitable to his style. Very nice episode, not truly expected but predictable on some moments.

Ayanokouji in action. The meeting between Class 2 and Class 1 did not go well and ended in a fight. Big mistake if you involve Ayanokouji. Slow pace before it shifts to fast pace at the end of the episode. New info at the end makes Ayanokouji need to be more careful

Un episodio espectacular donde se nos muestra el climax del examen, tensión psicológica y momentos épicos. La escena del cuchillo fue simplemente cine, Ayanokoji sigue siendo muy superior a cualquier otro tanto física como mentalmente.

The strategic traps and the shifting alliances are making this season unpredictable. The characters pushing to their limits is so hype.

The payoff that we've been waiting for! The first four episodes delivered a very satisfying conclusion and hype for its first volume adaptation, and made the audience fully immersed in the show! Ayanokoji's cold deduction with the artistic visual creativity, making the entire scene very CINEMATIC!

Emosi di episode ini terasa banget, bikin kesel sama Hosen, tapi Ayanokouji tetap santai dan keren karena ternyata sudah menyiapkan banyak cara untuk menghadapinya, aura dinginnya akhirnya terasa lagi di sini 🥶

Alliances start forming, though trust remains fragile. The episode highlights how cooperation in this school is always temporary. Ayanokoji’s calm demeanor contrasts with the growing chaos around him.

This episode is superb as to finally see why Ayanokoji is considered a manipulator and someone who is worthy to be at the top of the food chain. To finally see a part of Ayanokoji which we can rarely see is so amazing and the action is also very superb for this episode!

Nanase outsmarting Hosen with the protection point loophole was pretty impressive for a first-year

I felt kinda bad for Horikita getting caught up in that messy negotiation

The purple rain during the fight was a weird choice, but the intensity of the scene overall, was just awesome

This episode moved at a good speed the plot developments kept me watching

EPISODE CONTEXT

After Horikita's methodical strategic preparations in episode 3, this fourth episode serves as the explosive climax to the partner-pairing special exam arc, transforming simmering first-year tensions into a full-blown confrontation. It resolves the immediate crisis of the fraught negotiations while significantly escalating the season's central mystery surrounding the White Room enforcer's identity. Landing at the quarter mark of this 16-episode season, it establishes a new baseline of ruthlessness that will define the challenges ahead.
