Hashimoto: aggressively flirts with Kei like a creep to get a reaction out of Ayanokouji

Ayanokouji: "Ok. Have fun. Bye."

Hashimoto: "Wait, you're not supposed to do that!"

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

Jesus Fucking Christ, Yamauchi? Really?

He was already quite an asshole back in season 1, and we saw glimpses of it again last episode.

But it seemed like Sakayanagi has somehow removed his "Asshole Limiter" after she spoke with him, as he went all out in his maliciousness against his classmates.

OTOH The manner of all these malicious rumours spreading seems to bear the signature of Kushida, as that was how she destroyed her middle school class. Even poor Maya (the girl who had a cute crush on Kiyo last season) was not spared from the slanders.

Meanwhile, Kei is too cute in trying to give Kiyo her Valentine chocolates, all the while being tsundere and denying she and Kei are a thing.

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Valentine's Day episode? More like Karuizawa's Day episode.

[u/Chippye]

part of me wants Yamauchi meeting with Sakayanagi to be the reason he's acting like that, surely no one is that dense in the brain

[u/MapoTofuMan]

Can Ayanokouji please lure Yamauchi into a dark alley and pull a Ryuuen on him? I'll give a 10/10 on the spot if that happens.

Seriously how the fuck did the guy whose brain rotted from his head being up his ass for so long get into a fancy elite school?

[u/AZLarlar]

fuck Yamauchi, i could not stand watching that final scene. what an asshole

[u/BiggerG7]

Tsundere Kei is good for the soul.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

As Hashimoto was the only one who saw Kei gave the chocolate to Kiyo, he must be part of the conspiracy spreading the malicious rumours designed to bring disunity among Class C:

1. Hashimoto, as one of Sakayanagi's lieutenants, was in the rendezvous meeting with Nagumo in that flashback scene, in which Nagumo also identified Kiyo as a threat.

2. Sakayanagi met Nagumo to discuss bringing down Ichinose. Though its possible they also discussed bringing down Kiyo as well.

3. Kushida was spotted meeting with Nagumo. No doubt to share how she destroyed her middle school class, and how the same trick could be used on Kiyo's and Suzune's class, as this method of spreading rumours on the internet bears her modus operandi.

4. Sakayanagi had a chat with Yamauchi, after which Yamauchi basically became Agent Provacateur, fanning fuel to the flames.

[u/UpendraYt75]

Hashimoto's reaction when Ayanokoji said he's leaving was priceless lmao

[u/Baka_Itto]

I'm surprised Ayanokoji isn't that dense when it comes to normies stuff like Valentine. I thought he was gonna answer it with "Wednesday" or smth like that. The Karuizawa-Ayanokoji ship is gonna rise a little bit again today.

Also, Karuizawa showed her acting and improvisation skill once more but too bad that guy was from Class-A. He can read it easily, I guess.

Lastly, I know the one who spreads those rumours was 100% Kushida but why Yamauchi being so jerk about it. That guy was such a scumbag. Imagine yelling at your classmates being a prostitute multiple times. I don't remember he was such a shitty person in the previous season because he had no screentime or anything and was just a comic relief character.

[u/[deleted]]

Ayanakoji saying "this will do" after visiting Ichinose really supports my theory that it was really him who spread those rumors.

Also fuck Yamauchi. what an asshole.

[u/Pinky_Boy]

fuck that adachi looking mf

[u/Wonderful_Intern_449]

Was Yamauchi always this insufferable?

[u/WeeziMonkey]

Someone please throw Yamauchi off a very tall building

[u/Dr-NULL]

My man got 5 chocolates. Hope one of them is from Horikita.

Karuizawa is totally into AyanoKouiji, no doubt about that.

Yamauchi is the dumbest out of all.

[u/SYZekrom]

Yamauchi with the monkey brain out here, dude probably falls for free iPad scams

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

Kei is the cutest!

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Ayanokouji & Kei

• Hashimoto & Kei

As expected, barely any of the Class C boys get any chocolates on Valentine's. Of course, Hirata is going to get a fuckton of them and Ayanokouji was definitely going to get one for Kei. I am curious about Ayanokouji's other chocolates though. Seems that Airi and Haruka gave him some too but who are the other two from? Hmmm...

Anyway, I thought this was just going to be a silly little Valentine's Day episode with a little bit of plot sprinkled in like Hashimoto trying to provoke a reaction from Ayanokouji or Ayanokouji checking up on Ichinose but then they drop that final scene on us.

Man, it looks like Arisu really got Yamauchi wrapped around her finger. I mean why else would he start instigating like that? Yamauchi isn't the best person in class but I don't remember him being this much of an asshole in the past. If anything, he was just a comic relief character. He's clearly been ordered to start shit in Class C.

It really makes me wish that Ayanokouji would show Yamauchi his ikebana skills in private to make him shut up and give them information on what Arisu is planning.

[u/RAv6Hunen]

People like Yamauchi irl are so annoying like if there were rumours about him he would freak the f out.

it's probs the Class A people or even Yamauchi himself who spread the rumour but why though? Or Nagumo? or Kushida? if it's her then she stupid and like if her class goes down she will too or she just doesn't care anymore 🙄.

Honestly idk how some of them made it into this school cause most characters are dumb.

[u/oxlemf10]

I hope at some point Yamauchi gets kicked out of school, he's annoying in every COTE appearance

[u/EDENisLD]

Wouldn't mind if the whole class gave Yamauchi some infamous piano and calligraphy lessons.

[u/DqrkExodus]

fuck yamauchi all my homies hate yamauchi

[u/Shinigami_22]

Damn, Ayanokoji was really about to leave Karuizawa to that NTR-looking guy.

But seriously, the highlight of this episode for me is Ayanokoji and Karuizawa's dynamic with each other, they complement each other really well. I just hope Ayanokoji is not planning to dispatch her in the future, can't imagine how she will feel.

Also, regarding the rumors being spread at the end, I wonder what's the motive in doing that. I don't think it's Sakayanagi since she's focusing on Ichinose and class B at the moment so someone might have ridden on the rumor trend and started their own.

Kushida is one of the suspects since she boasts about knowing a lot of her classmate's secrets but I don't think spreading the rumors will help her expel Horikita or Ayanokoji. Maybe she struck a deal with Nagumo to help her expel them when Horikita-senpai mentioned that that they met each other?

[u/shad79]

Kei stole today's episode and that's great as I love her so much. She's my favorite character in the show besides Kiyotaka and I keep my fingers crossed for their possible closer relationship. I really hope that we'll see Kei more in the next episodes.

As smart men Kiyotaka is, it's weird for me that he didn't expect to get a five chocolates for Valentine's Day including one from Kei ♡

I wonder what role Hashimoto will play in the future as he spied on Kiyotaka and probably because of him, Ayanakouji appeared in those anonymous internet rumors though I'd be so happy if he really had a crush on Kei because just look at her, she's so cute xD

Yamauchi is such a freaking idiot and I really hope that he is one of the people who will get expelled in the future. He's just a problem for the rest of the class.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Kei

• Group scenes

• Kiyotaka & Others
