This episode is quite exciting because something happens. Even though the pacing is still a bit slow but it seems the plot makes some progress. Furthermore, the next episode is sure to be even more eagerly awaited, as the conflict appears to be escalating.

I mean the show is still unpredictable at some moments but it's kind of a let down to see Ayanokoji hold back again. It's also interesting to see how groups tend to work together if it benefits them. I hope we can see more action on the next episodes.

Koenji vs Ayanokouji. Finally we get to see who is stronger. Kind of a letdown since both of them are not serious. Still, Ayanokouji starts making moves for his strategy. At the end, a new hint shows something bad might happen!

Episode Context

A tense, deliberately paced episode that trades the classroom's cold strategic maneuvering for something rawer and more physical. Ayanokouji and his classmates are pushed into a demanding environment where intellect alone won't cut it, survival instincts, trust, and adaptability are suddenly the currencies that matter. The forest setting amplifies a persistent undercurrent of unease, and the episode leans hard into that atmosphere without rushing toward resolution. Themes of cooperation and resilience surface naturally, but the show's signature suspicion and psychological tension never fully lift. Expect a slower burn that prioritizes dread and character pressure over explosive confrontation. This is the kind of episode that makes the payoff feel earned.
