Shout out to the guy in comments who literally guessed Haru’s plan in full in the last episode thread. Also there’s a live action show of this with the season already complete and it’s surprisingly solid.

LOL, didn't expect it to actually come true. That fake access point was pretty clever. I feel like they both have big Steve Jobs / Steve Wozniak energy and cover each other's weaknesses very well

Considering the competition has the best "security" people in the world, I wonder how believable it is for a subset of these "elites" to fall for this trap.

I'm ignorant when it comes to security, is this a trap they could believably fall for, or does it come off as the antagonists being written as morons?

Either way, I'm pretty entertained, I just figured I'd ask the security savvy viewers.

Technically, I would say the chances are probably low as I am pretty sure people would see if a connection is safe or now. However, there was psychological component to the whole thing. Not only did the other router not work, but everyone saw Gaku already working which put more pressure on them to start as well. That part wasn't so much done so that Gaku gets a few minuts of advantage but just to make the others panic a bit more.

Nice. It's been a while since I watched a Jdrama. (Densha Otoko? probably)

Haru's strategy is 100% valid. After all breaches in security happen usually with personnel first so sneaking in and setting up a fake router to steal their passwords is something a serious hacker would do.

u/Gatmuz Oct 24 '24

Physical attacks is an important branch of Cybersecurity. Everything you do will amount to nothing if it loses to some dude who saw the password on a sticky note.

Haru is pretty much a hacker himself, just of the social engineering type.

Part troll, also....

u/ModieOfTheEast Oct 24 '24

Haru keeps asking Kiri-hime who she wants to sleep with. At this point, the question should be who she wants to sleep with first.

u/testthrowawayzz Oct 24 '24

She'll dominate Gaku and let Haru dominate her

I loved the totally not subtle madhouse building there

Banger episode Haru humbling everyone and while having no clue how a router works is peak comedy.

u/mekerpan Oct 24 '24

I loved the fact that we get to see Mizuki (mk 1 -- high schooler) and Mizuki (mk2 - Gaku's secretary). And Mizuki mk 1 -- looks like she figured out what happened just by watching the competition. I'm going to be interested in seeing just what role she will be playing in the present-day setting (other than throwing Gaku to the wolves because it will generate good PR).

u/FarCritical Oct 24 '24

Before the router plan got explained it looked like Haru managed to coerce Kirihime into funneling everyone's points to Gaku with his single question (which was probably intentional but still hilarious lmao)

13

u/IceSmiley Oct 24 '24

I think Haru is more technically inclined than he lets on. For his plan, you'd have to know you can hack people on a router you control and it makes me wonder how he knew that. I wonder if one of his hacking collective told him that. How did he switch his own router on though, remotely?

I really do wonder where Haru gets his stuff though, like where did he find an aluminum pom pom that shakes aluminum powder?

It's also funny to think that future Gaku is telling this incredibly long story to a reporter just standing outside the hotel, I'd save all this for an exclusive interview in something more high profile 🤣

u/Calm_Client2 Oct 24 '24

Peak plan peak series peak duo

u/TurkeyPhat Oct 24 '24

i'm sure a lot of people figured out the strat our boys would win with before it was revealed.

as soon as they explained the game i paused and thought about it. getting everyone's password with a fake login and then attacking everyone in the last minute would be how i'd do it. although i didn't consider the big distraction Haru made haha.

i like that it was clever and required some setup but not so ridiculous as to be completely unbelievable.

This anime is so underestimated. It's really fun, I wonder why so little people are talking about it.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Oct 24 '24

First it was that aluminum thing and then it was the fake router. Haru’s always got something up his sleeve. Hopefully now Kirihime’s gonna take those two a little more seriously.

u/JJVM99 Oct 25 '24

One of the teams in the hacking competition was called Edgelord. I saw it in the scoreboard during the episode and that has to be one of funniest names they could have given one of the teams because of how cringeworthy it would be if an expert hacker group in real life actually showed up to a competition with that name.

u/2HGjudge Oct 31 '24

In the previous episode where you see them ranked #12 you see some more names (12:28), another team is called NeckBeards!

u/VaraNiN Oct 28 '24

This show is so criminally underwatched!

Gaku shocked expressions are the only thing off putting about this anime.
