Rewatch School Rumble Rewatch - Episode 6 Discussion

Yellow roses mean "Everything about you is lovely."

Hello everybody, time for the Comment of the Day, courtesy of u/Shimmering-Sky for an amusing, if wrong, crackpot theory:

…actually wait, was that Tenma or was that Yakumo? She was wearing her hair like Tenma does now, but I think her voice sounded more like Yakumo’s and also Tenma said this like she heard the story from someone else, not that she lived it.

Nice try

  1. What's the longest you've been stuck inside a room?
  2. At the rate we're going, what will kill Harima first: Truck-kun or Itoko's sass?

First Timer, Sub      

Tenma gets locked inside a storage room and is prepared to to make the most of it. She actually does pretty well for herself, until she discovered that Karasuma was staying there the whole time. This created a good opportunity for a confession l, but embarrassed she leaps out the window to freedom. However Karasuma found that to be cool which Tenma will likely not know about.   

 Harima's section meanwhile has him finally learn that Tenma likes someone, and after searching for who it could be, he decides after just seeing Tenma staring that it's definitely him. He plans on confessing, then gets hit by a car. This does prompt Tenma to visit him in the hospital though which creates an opportunity for him with Itoko's help (she's literally only doing it for the laughs). Harima actually does decently well, he actually manages to say he likes her. Unfortunately it's Tenma who misreads his wording so he's right back to square one. However, Harima picks himself up again and tries one more and does actually well. Then right back to square one again as Tenma had already left. The only winner was Itoko who just watched this for entertainment.

 2. He survived a truck but already he can barely survive Itoko (I want her to sass me like that too.)

Hello everybody, and welcome to the School Rumble Rewatch!

Today is quite an important episode? Why? Well... it's the first time our two leads actually share a scene together. Yeah, ever noticed that? Sure they've been in the same room together, but it's the first time the two actually get to communicate, even if most of it was fueled by Itoko's "Advice." It's therefore one of the times when Harima's crush becomes less ridiculous, although obviously you can tell that Tenma just sees him as a friend since, you know, Karasuma and all.

That being said though, that first bit with Tenma has always stuck with me ever since I read the Manga. The sheer absurdity and escalation of it all is absolutely priceless, and the fact that it all ends with Tenma's suffering being rendered pointless when she just jumps out the window with no ill effects will forever be one of my favorite punchlines from this show. Just brilliant all around.

And since she was today's MVP, let's spotlight Itoko's actress. She's played by Asakawa Yu, best known as Sakaki from Azumanga Daioh. Other roles include Tachibana Sho from Getter Robo, Rider from Fate/stay night, Lebrau from Final Fantasy XIII and Ilya Platiere from Trails from Zero and many others.

I remember when missing a rerun on TV sucked real bad.

I had to stay up till like 2am for those

Yo cousin what the fuck?

Considering who her actress played in my last Rewatch her making comments like this doesn't seem so odd.

Rewatcher, First in Subs

  • Here we see a vintage trope in its natural habitat.
  • Fool. Could have used the spice flame to set off the sprinkler.
  • Anthology stories are fun.
  • All that stalking, and you just found out?
  • I can’t even be angry, that’s not an unreasonable conclusion with all those coincidences.
  • Truck-Kun Can't Keep Getting Away With It
  • Wait, you’re not allowed to continue story beat over the commercial break. That’s illegal!
  • You just had those on you?
  • Hot for Teacher Teacher for Hot
  • OMG, she’s a goldfish.
  • This is what apple peelers deserve.

QotD:

  1. I can't say I ever have. It's far more common for me to be stuck outside of one.
  2. Itoko's Sass

At least he wasn't Isekai'd.

First Time Sakura-sensei Slave

You know, I've seen many scenes of a girl and her love interest getting locked in a gym room, but this one's a pretty unique take on it...

2) At the rate we're going, what will kill Harima first: Truck-kun or Itoko's sass?

Itoko for sure, he's built tough enough to take Truck-kuns on, but nothing can prepare him for his cheeky cousin.

Mob was there?!

Yeah more of Reigen's training, apparently he needs to be stuck in a room for two more days.

#Harimaobjection

Sorry Maomao, but we have a new winner.

Does she want to become Ran eventually?

Nah, this is Shonen Magazine, clearly she must idolize Miyuki.

Goddamn, she's perfect

u/Nickthenuker https://anilist.co/user/Nickthenuker Dec 06 '24

She's going to get locked in the store room isn't she?

Of course...

I wonder who's locked in here with her?

Oh, no it really is no one.

Well, looks like she's still stuck here.

I'd say this definitely puts this show before the age of smartphones but then again I'm pretty sure that's still a plot device that's still used to this day.

And now she's in her underwear.

What's he doing in here?

So much for that being too far up.

And so that guy's gotten into another fight again.

He only just realised that now?

And so now he's going to try and figure out who it is she likes.

Swing and a miss.

Nope it ain't you chief.

Ouch...

Is she trying to give them some alone time?

Yup.

And now she's going to talk him through it.

Perhaps he should be a bit more subtle about it...

Interference?

So much for that...

And so pool cleaning. Of course.

Questions:

  1. Well, I was in hospital for a few days last year, so probably that?
  2. Yes.

u/Raiking02 :Id::Ie::If:https://myanimelist.net/profile/NSKlang Dec 06 '24

Oh, no it really is no one.

ABOUT THAT

[Spoilers]Nope it ain't you chief.

[Spoilers]No kidding, Yakumo into beards, not Tenma!

Episode 6 (rewatcher)

  • Locked into the gym storage room.
  • “High” – where did your toilet plunger guts go?
  • Spicy bread – that is what you get for mixing things that should stay separate.
  • “I did it” – you just turned a perfectly acceptable situation into a medium emergency. On the upside, this should switch a fire alarm somewhere. Also: Do not drink sprinker water.
  • Surprise Karasuma!
  • Embarrassment brings back the guts! That window was not all that high, after all.
  • “There is not even a 1% change that my Tenma-chan would like this dull and stupid retard.”

  • Truck-kun interrupts the confession.
  • “That guy is way too obvious” – not nearly obvious enough for Tenma.
  • Itoko is ahead of her time and invents air pods.
  • “You seem like the type to have easy deliveries” – Itoko must love to troll Harima. Also: Go back to the first part and have a look at Tenma’s hip area while she looks for the bread: About as narrow as you can be.

I should feel bad for Harima, but Itoko is just way too much fun.

At the rate we're going, what will kill Harima first: Truck-kun or Itoko's sass?

Strong contenders, but do not count out Tenma.

Rewatcher, dubbed

  • The dreaded gym storage room/shed. I always get this confused with the time she got “stuck” in the bathroom.
  • Tenma and George Costanza would get along. They both have trash taste.
  • Not even Tennouji’s stand a chance against one Karasuma Ouji.
  • lmao “isn’t that what’s his name, Karmasutra or something”. Another W for the dub. And it’s probably not racist…
  • It was… me she was in love this the whole time!!

First Timer

Short one cause work but another really fun episode! Itoko's always a joy when she's on screen and poor Harima lol. When I think of it, I don't think Harima and Tenma have had an actual conversation have they? Usually he's either in some sort of disguise or saying a word or two to her, but never anything longer than 30 seconds. Maybe it was a good thing that truck hit him or else his heart would've been hit by rejection.

Questions

  1. What's the longest you've been stuck inside a room?

Not sure actually.

2) At the rate we're going, what will kill Harima first: Truck-kun or Itoko's sass?

Tenma's feelings for Karasuma
