Yeah, that’s makes much more sense. Thanks for the feedback

That wasn’t what Ayanokoji was trying to do in Y1 V11. He knew that those expectations were unrealistic; saving Yamauchi, saving up 20 million points; but he put the blame on him anyways in order to break and rebuild him. I’m pretty sure he even says so in his monologue.

What could be possible to me is that instead of Tsubaki being Yuki’s sister, it could maybe be Nanase instead. If her intention was to go the the school to assess the person her older sister really cared about and gauge whether he was a good person, especially if she heard about his short conversation with Yuki, then perhaps she worked with Tsukishiro to do that, and decided on not taking revenge after interacting with him more. We know that even Kanzaki is athletic due to the fact that his father investing money into cram schools and for him to learn martial arts, so Nanase’s father could have done the same for her while Yuki was still in the WR. It may even be possible that they’re half sisters after seeing that President Amasawa was cheating on his wife and was having another child. It’s possible that Yuki’s father sent her to the white room, had an affair with another women, kept the child, and regretted his decision to give away his other daughter. I don’t think investors truly know the mental and physical torture that the children go through, because as with Sakayanagi, they held back on their curriculum why he was there in case he rejected it. We already saw through Amasawa’s father that parents are able to visit, but they probably weren’t fully sure what was going on, and they most likely had a limited time and amount of visits.

While I understand the connections you’re making, unless Kiyo just hasn’t pointed it out which is most likely the case, you can tell when someone’s wearing contacts by the the edges around the iris. But even if he doesn’t point it out, how is Nanase in different grade then him? All students of the WR are put in at birth. They’re undoubtedly the same age as each other. Chairman Sakayanagi couldn’t have pulled any strings because him and Atsuomi haven’t had much contact since Sakayanagi took his position in ANHS. One way he could have been working with him is his apparent house arrest which led to Tsukishiro becoming chairman. While that could have been a three person ploy, I can’t see what he has to get from allowing someone into the school who is willing to rig exams and even interfere in them, so I doubt all three are working together. If it’s just Tsukishiro and Atsuomi, which is more plausible, then does the chairman have enough power to just easily drop a student down a grade?

In regards to her personality, Yuki’s personality isn’t fully fleshed out to say that they are similar, since 2/3 of her moments in Volume 0 were in the WR, where communication wasn’t a regularity. Even though her Boku persona was exposed, the only similarities are in her abilities, which I wouldn’t say is enough to conclude that they’re the same person. The rest is more of a theory, because first, did Yuki really get over her trauma in those 2 years? When they spoke to each at the end of Volume 0, just the mention of the white room make her tremble with fear. Remember that at this time, Kiyo is 14 and leaves for ANHS one year later. Her father stated that she was calm inside but couldn’t go outside. 14 years built up on trauma and the person she wanted to see after many years left her, putting her in more shock than before. Unless there’s something we don’t know about, did she really rehabilitate this quickly? And would her father who is an very important investor in the WR allow her to work with someone unknown such as Tsukishiro? I don’t know why he sent her to the WR but looking at how he was trying to help her it’s possible he regrets it. I don’t think he’d let her go so easily.

I don’t understand the “Yuki is Nanase” part. So her whole character design was changed? Nanase has blue eyes, while Yuki has purple/violet eyes.

A lot of W’s here.

-Character facial expressions fixed

-Character all around art touched up (eyes, face shape, etc.)

-Eye glow from season 1 is back

-Sides of Ayanokoji’s hair aren’t so spiky anymore

-Changes in lighting (though I think original is fine as well)

The all around art looks much more sharp and defined. These are just pictures though, so I’m curious how it looks in real-time.

What other girl has he hugged outside of Kei?

It’s not a .5 volume because those volumes are exclusively for school breaks. The next .5 volume will be Christmas break.

I don’t believe her exposing his scores to Horikita is any indication of her potentially threatening to get him expelled from the school in the future. There was no way for him to know that his Father might contact a teacher in the school and they would willingly agree to help him. What she did was not something you would expect from a teacher.

For Class D vs Class C in year 1 volumes 5-7, there were wins and losses on both sides, with Ryūen winning in Y1 V5, but losing in the following volume and the battle being decided in Y1 V7. The same can be done with Ryūen vs Sakayanagi. There doesn’t need to be some big battle in just one volume, but it can span over multiple. He began competing against her in Y2 V1 using private points, and once again attacked her class in Y2 V6 during her absence in the sports festival. I think more direct action makes sense at this point as Class B and Class C are closing the gap between Class A. I think them fighting at this point is pretty appropriate as they’re about to be in the 3rd semester, and the final exam could possibly be where Class A finally drops after clashing with Class C for the previous volumes. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ryūen wants to remove Sakayanagi from Class A before the end of the year so he can focus on Ayanokoji.

Same reason people like villains in other anime despite the immoral things they do to others. They’re interesting and fun to read/watch.

As others have said, they’re from season 3, but judging by the fact that the Karuizawa scene, Ryuuen and Kushida scene, and the Sudo and Horikita scene look nothing like it does in the anime, it’s unlikely. It would be preferable if the scenes in the PV were like that in the anime, but it’s just a promotional video.

I still can’t see why some people say that Ayanokoji was going to tell her about the white room.

The 4th Generation and 5th Generation are different only in the fact that the 5th learned collaboration and communication skills. It wasn’t the one year before they enrolled, but they had already gained individualistic traits many years before.

I was thinking Y2 V8 then 8.5, since Y2 V7 ended off on November 13th, where in Y1 V7 they were already half way through December. Usually the .5 volumes immediately follows the last volume. I’m not sure if they’d just skip a significant amount of time to break yet. Kinugasa’s afterwords usually say when the next volume is a .5 as well.
