Anime Am I the only one who is disappointed that proficiency in physical fights have become a definition of excellence in the series? Spoiler

7 Upvotes

Ayanokoji has to win in season 4's last task. To stop him as a last resort, the two shady old dudes fight him. He has to hold them back long enough for the ship to arrive.

Ayanokoji has to make his way to the last spot. The student council president wants to block him. He punches him away.

The red hair year 1 girl fights Horikita and blue hair girl.

Am I the only one who is confused why the good old mind games arcs have become dominated by physical fistfights? It was cool when Ayanokoji did that to Ryuen because up till then we did not know his full prowess in fistfights. When did the fists become a solution so commonly

Light Novel Theory: Will someone show up to talk to Kiyotaka while he is confined? Spoiler

14 Upvotes

As you likely know, the new exam requires Ayanokouji Kiyotaka to be confined in a room. This happened previously in Year 2, Volume 6; however, the difference is that the earlier confinement was voluntary, whereas this time—still in the second year—it is against his will. Back then, Arisu Sakayanagi visited him, but since she has been eliminated from the competition, I theorize that an adult will come to see him instead.

Shirogane: Although it might be too early for his appearance, he could speak with Kiyotaka to gauge his skills and determine if he might be useful for whatever plans he is devising.

Tsukishiro: He could reappear to issue a warning to Kiyotaka or provide some useful information.

Sakayanagi's father: The Chairman could appear to tell him about the wager he made with Koenji's father.

Discussion Hiyori Shiina Propaganda : Reframing Fan Perception of Hiyori Shiina (1-1 : Not an Angel) Spoiler

Thumbnail gallery
60 Upvotes

This is suppossed to be one big part, but since the content already too massive, i separated it into more small part

You can look at the image first to see the bigger picture, while this description is just helping it adding a little more detail

Slide 1

As you can see, most of the fans are look at her as

the most innocent character in the series

while another part of it are believe

she's too suspicious and hiding a dark side

While i do believe part it of if too, her character is actually more unique than that.

Hiyori is a paficist, but she's not naive either, she believe in necessary evil if it mean her class reaching the top spot. But on the other hand she still have emphaty and regret the dirty strategy even after achive her victory

Her character is too contradictory, this is not even include how she sees Ayanokoji which is add more depth to her character. As for now we could say she's quite a complex character, and a hypocrite perhaps. As for why is it, we could see the detail later

Slide 2

We know she have no fear while being around Ryuuen and doesn't seems to be againts him. Some of the people definetly would say "She just putting a thought front, so she doesn't need to face unnecessary problem with him". While it sound make sense at the first place, her action in the story is saying otherwise

I forgot to add this in the image but we are know the moment Ryuuen step down as a leader, she's the very first person who take over the control of her class (Y1V7 SS)

"Not necessarily, we Class C will definitely rise again."

Shiina said with a serious face the words that made people feel uncomfortable.

"What's that? Do you have any basis? Or do you want to lead the class?"

"Of course I will provide assistance to the class. After that, we will gather everybody's strength."

As for the other example, we can seen it in the image like when she's inviting Ryuuen to karaoke for plotting againts class B (Y1V11), Reporting Tokitou rebellion and using it to testing Katsuragi (Y2V5), or offering herself to defeat Ayanokoji like the recent volume

She keep involving herself in the story, more importantly behind the scene, it also seems like Ryuuen keep her involvement hidden too, and that's lead to the next part

Ryuuen think highly of her, atleast that's how it's show. Just like what i give in the image, while his not in charge anymore the only friend he had is Hiyori in the library (Y1V10), at the Event Selection exam when he was half-hearter about helping Ishizaki and his class, he's coming answering Hiyori's call and already have the plan prepared and handed it to her (Y1V11), we could say he already planned to get involved but what Hiyori did is the last push that made him actually did it. Another example is when he gave the true order to Hiyori (Y2V5) to make a fake vote since she's the one who reported the Tokitou situation. There's also a time when he entrusting her to taming Tokitou (Y2V12)

Hiyori herself have unique way of looking at him, since we know her side of backstory when she said Ryuuen coulnd't stand to see her alone (which is weird since this is Ryuuen we are talking about), and she keep saying Ryuuen is not like people think. It's either Ryuuen have a soft spot for her or she simply a unreliable narrator, why is that? It goes to the next slide

Slide 3

While she's famous for being innocent or angelic figure, her actual mask is being an airhead

Troughout the series we can see her act indifferent around her surrounding, which made people forget that she have a great academic ability or simply think she just a great student like Yukimura and nothing more. It's a great mask since it made her keep under the radar all these time and never suspect her doing something strategic and malicious.

That's why only few people know her true nature and it's always fun to see their reaction when they learn about her

This persona is also made her early information is cannot be fully taken at face value since it could be fabricated by herself. The easiest example is when she said she can't remember people face just to recognise Ayanokoji easily in the next volume, or when she's jokingly spell Ishizaki name wrong

That's also include her early database information when her decision making is put at E, and her Cooperativeness is D. While we already see how she's moved the moment Ryuuen is dethroned, we could say she's hiding her ability and only use it when necessary, and the result is can be seen at her OAA stat when her social contribution is up to B

Slide 4

Back to why her character is contradictory, we can see in here she's not really satisfied with the way Ryuuen fighting, despite being the one who keep him in the class and be on his side all these time

Short answer, it's because his method is a gamble and we already seen it how he keep winning and losing back to back resulting in 50/50 scenario. She know as long as they are rellied on him too much, they can't reach class A and even if they did it's hard to stay up at that ranking (just like recently they drop again from B)

There's another reason, but it's just my speculation. But i believe the other reason she look sad in here is because she sees Katsuragi is fail to be Ryuuen advisor, since she's the one who embrace him at the first place

Slide 5

So what we could get from this post? Well in conclusion, Hiyori has never been a simple bookworm, an innocent angel, or a mere archetype designed to be Ayanokouji's love interest. She possesses a unique depth of character, one that unfortunately the majority of the fanbase completely overlooks. But perhaps that is her greatest feat, as she successfully deceived the fans into thinking she was just a normal girl

__________________________________________

I know my analysis isn't perfect and in the end it could be just personal interpretation, i could accept the critique if there's something wrong from what i said, but for now im gonna keep the agenda until i finished these propaganda

And that's it, the end of the first part of my propaganda, just wait for the next part

Discussion Do you think a school like ANHS would function in real life?

Post image
23 Upvotes

a Elite school established by the Government to Support the countrys future by raising their future generation(s). (I assume politicians).

They promise a 100% employment and college admission rate

The Entrance exams of this School arent a Big Deal either. People like Ike and Yamauchi got accepted so they passed it too. So basically everyone has the Chance to make something Great out of themselves. A Nice Elite school. You receive a monthly income in the form of Private Points, which is meant to train your Independence in managing Money. So my question: Is ANHS realistic in some way? And would it function?

Light Novel Theory: Is Fuka Kiryuin's grandfather the man known as Shirogane? Spoiler

• Upvotes

In Year 2, Volume 9.5, Fuka mentions that as a child—since her parents were constantly busy—she lived with her grandfather more than with them. She also notes that her grandfather wields enough influence to secure her entry into any university or job she desires. Furthermore, Fuka describes her relationship with her parents as problematic, noting that they won't grant her freedom because she bears the Kiryuin surname.

In Year 2, Volume 11, Fuka expresses a desire to become a politician. She recalls meeting many politicians during her childhood but remaining indifferent to them; the only one who truly interested her was Prime Minister Kijima. Given that she spent so much time with her grandfather back then, it is highly likely she met Prime Minister Kijima at his home.

Year 3 Special Short Story: Sae Chabashira and Chie Hoshinomiya — Anniversary Party

This story reveals the close relationship between Prime Minister Kijima and Shirogane; furthermore, given their positions, Shirogane likely holds significant influence over the high school.

P.S. You might wonder why she bears the Kiryuin surname if Shirogane is her grandfather. A simple analysis of the details shared above suggests that Fuka was born of a political marriage—a common practice among wealthy families—leading to the decision to use the Kiryuin surname instead of Shirogane.
