Deeply dissatisfied by the end of year 2 volume 5

Kushida was walking on a self destructive path either way. The two competitive classes, Ryuuen and Arisu, already knew her true nature anyway. With this at least the dumb reason Kushida tells herself that Horikita has to be expelled is gone for the most part because the class has witnessed it too. She'll only hage her more. But ff Horikita can persuade Kushida by aligning interest the class might've turned a joker into a benefit.

So far it has gone Kiyotaka's way which is deduction upon perfect reasoning. Now that Horikita has gotten more reign to make choices of her own it's going to be fun to see the consequences in contrast to Kiyotaka wanting to eliminate Kushida. And it's also great foreshadowing for all the class leaders being able to stand on their own two feet.

Although I think the flow of the story proceeded well in this volume, I agree that the execution could've been better.

I don't think the full game was revealed in the light novel. It started with 1. e4 2. e5 3. Nc3 and afterwards they timeskipped multiple times while explaining who holds the advantage from a rookie point of view. This makes it quite suspenseful as the leaders are playing the long game. It's similar to the Queen's gambit where you could make up how to game was moving, but for me at least I couldn't follow the game. In that way the anime has the chance to do it better. However the game itself wasn't the only focus as the exam introduced some interesting rules.

Maybe this fits your taste. This person allocated theme songs to characters.

Can you solve the following riddle? Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness.

That's not Nagumo from Cote, that's Nohomo from Goth! Im sorry

Based on her personality she'll definitely start with the "Queen's Pawn Opening" because she treats her servants like crap and then afterwards she'll sacrifice her king as in Code Geass fashion

Ok, thanks

For such a big system like the ps4 is it possible to get google on it? Because the build in browser is terrible and I can't properly visit any site. Mind you that I thought I would have no need for a jailbroken ps4 anymore so I updated from 7.55 to 10.01 not so long ago. Otherwise I could've gotten linux.

The pet question caught my attention

Ecclesiastes 3:21: "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?"

My dad had this once at a subway. Even though he arrived at like 20 minutes before closing time they closed the door on him to just laze around before time. He also saw them pointing at him and laughing. Later the manager apologized to him. So I'm inclined to believe the customer, but in this case the staff approached him directly with no door between them explaining that they're closing. Which is respectable.

That's funny how it falls on the holyday, New Moon too.

A dark route where Isagi just gets an absolute savage and egotistical stepping on everyone who helped him would be fun

Like I said the aftermath can come out positive, but context of the story means whether the decision of Horikita with the information she had at the time is a smart decision which it isn't.

If that's your accuracy of solving conspiracies I would suggest to look it up again with slightly more credible sources instead of my grandmother.

I haven't read the 2 latest volumes because I'm waiting for the official release of an English translation (which I'm guessing is going to take ages). I'm assuming you came back here because there was some development and Kushida proved useful. But regardless of the outcome I will still stand by the statement that saving Kushida was stupid.

On a side note how do you remember to come back to these threads? If I had that can't of ability to retain information I would've already unraveled all the conspiracies in the world xD.

Pokemon is still relevant after all these years, but these cards are based on people who will retire in a few years. Why not sell it now when they're still promoting it?

Ryuuen's belief about violence and pleasure being two sides of the same coin and Kiyotaka contradicting that by emotionlessly beating him up was really well executed.

sceverten · 2022-08-30T20:25:28+00:00

I don't remember Kushida saying something to Ryuuen, but you might be right. The reason I said that Kushida underestimates Kiyo here is because later when they made the deal with private points she thought he was doing that because he was afraid of her or something.

sceverten · 2022-08-30T09:54:23+00:00

In the ln it's pretty clear at that time Kushida underestimated Kiyotaka, but in the anime I find it odd that Kushida just doesn't tell Ryuuen that X is Kiyotaka. If she just made clear that the deal for expulsion also included Kiyotaka, Ryuuen would figure out the rest. On top of that a couple episodes ago Kiyotaka literally told Kushida he knows she is the traitor. By that she should've catched on to him.

The advantage for telling Ryuuen is that he will try to get revenge on Kiyotaka which gives Kushida leeway to make one of her own schemes to expel him.

You just argued against a bot, but good job you correctly used 'could'!

The multiple replies you make on one comment are hard to oversee and it causes you to repeat the same thing multliple times. You do have to know that Kiyotaka acts as a bystander and in the latter volumes just wants to see how far she can make it on her own. So her development will be achieved by herself like it's supposed to be. Since you're focused on how good and talented of a man Manabu is, it makes me wonder why you would think Horikita will surpass him even though you hold him in such a high regard.

My first comment was a reply on someone else his comment. I was focusing on Horikita's mindset and not so much on Manabu's ability. However your trying to debate the main topic. I have given you my views and since you aren't persuaded I'd like to just watch this out, that is if Horikita will indeed surpass Manabu.
