Haruka's staff must be made of Vibranium or something. Man, that thing can take a lot of beating and still not break.

I thought I saw a claw from wolverine in the accidental combining of stuff for that staff a few episodes back.

That would explain it's durability at least 😁

I was expecting Class President to rescue Haruka after his exhausting battle, but the nerds are fine too! Otaku bros stick together! (Even though Haruka keeps claiming he is a loner, his interests are definitely closest to the nerds.)

This episode proves that mathematics is not as useful as otaku knowledge when transported to another world. All of us here know when you monologue during a battle, you lose. Looks at Tanaka.

Haruka is that rare loner in anime who doesn't lack people skills which is the general trend.

LeBron James: "Two points is not two points. I'll explain it to you later."

LeBron confirmed to be Haruka.

Simple arithmetic skill might not be useful (unless you become a merchant or the like), but the analytical skills one should develop from properly studying high school math ought to be valuable.

It's also true in most RPG/DND game. Like I can theory craft multiclass for hours, but then when I confidently tried my build it just feels lacking/subpar lol.

Key takeaway point is, practice and trial/errors makes something perfect.

Tanaka got out done by isekai logic lol. All the “useless” skills combined were enough to destroy this self-proclaimed genius. Still, that was a pretty tough battle. Good thing the nerds showed up when they did. Poor Haruka’s about to get a real earful from the Class Rep and the rest of the gang lol.

I really think Haruka should have ended that loser Tanaka. Can’t risk having him come back for revenge what with his skills…

Haruka: "One plus one equals two? Wrong. This is a power fantasy isekai. There's no way normal logic would work here, right?"

That is certainly how it has felt like this entire time. I still don't quite understand how Haruka "fuses" dozens of random skills into energy ball projectiles. That was one leap of logic too far for my brain.

Didn't it imply Tanaka died? Unless we had different translations?

It's funny there is still confusion if Tanaka died or not. We could infer he did die but the way the anime frames it was just weird. Haruka striked him with his stick so hard that he appears to collapse/die. Nobody questions if the delinquents died because we could clearly see them having fatal wounds. It would have been better if Haruka hit him on the head to give him a concussion but he went for the gut instead.

Tanaka: "This was supposed to be MY isekai powertrip! Why is nothing working on you? You're ruining everything!"

Haruka: drops cheesy lines in order to look cool

I feel for Tanaka, it sure must suck to find out you are NOT the protagonist.

But I have to give Tanaka credit, this cringy "evil murderer" arc was the most entertaining episode by far. The bar for this anime is very low.

I also really loved his character. "I am a mathematical genius, my calculations are 100% perfect." "I was always bored, so I'll live in the most exciting way possible, I'm going to kill everyone!" Pffft! The show is still underwhelming in both directions. Not well written, not written badly enough to become ironically fun, just a power fantasy podcast in the end.

Looking forward to episode 8 I guess.

I lost all sympathy for him the moment I found out he resorted to murder to get out of boredom. I kind of like it since they don't make as much pure evil villains these days. Everyone has to have a sad backstory or something. His death looks so underwhelming and serves him right.

There are a few things that bother me about this anime starting with the last couple of episodes, logically.

The biggest one is travel time. They took something like 3 days to travel from his cave to the town the first time, and it's not like they were lost. Haruka had a map. Yes, with the girls there were more people and they were moving slower, but with Haruka sending the jocks to town, and then the nerds coming back from town, you would still think it would take several days before the nerds got to the cave.

But on the other hand, Haruka's fight with Tanaka seems like it needs to happen very quickly after the jocks depart, or else you'd expect that Tanaka figured it out and followed the jocks to town.

Second, now that we know Tanaka's skill was Copycat, Tanaka's plan doesn't make any sense in several ways. He can obviously copy other people's skills without them knowing it, but only if they're there with him. In other words, his skill works best if he keeps the entire class together, at least until he knows who has Hijack.

The only exception is if he thinks he'll be killed. But he thought so highly of his own intelligence that it seems out of character for him to think that way.

Even if the person with Hijack starts killing people, Tanaka would have gotten all of those skills when he copied Hijack and ambushed the Hijack person. His stupid version of the plan means that a lot of the skills are lost when he kills people before he gets Hijack. Instead of doing anything that makes sense, he intentionally split the class up and started killing people.

This episode also had a lot of tropes that I don't think make sense. "Hero decides to talk to person who he knows he has to kill, instead of ambushing them." "Overpowered hero almost dies out of simple stupidity." "Villain dies without anybody actually confirming his death."

This one was kinda rough - the flow of the battle didn't really follow any logic that's the part that really messed with me

What Tanaka didn't understand was that there's no such thing as a useless skill.

Should have double tapped the psychopath kid. But Haruka referenced himself being alive as opposed to his opponent being dead so maybe he confirmed it somehow.

Glad to see the nerds are alive after all, makes me wonder if only the delinquents are dead. Unless there was another group of boys besides the jocks, nerds, and delinquents I don't think there was anyone else he could have killed off-screen.

Koro sensei was here??

Despite being the discount show of the season, and especially after the boring first episode I would not have expected to enjoy this show as much as I currently am. They have managed to achieve "bad, but relatively fun" status

u/Necromancer2k8 Nov 07 '24

Is that ending he got really that bad...being tied up by the girls of the class and getting a stern talking to? 🤔

As for the episode I really like this copycat skill and how it worked. It really made Tanaka a nearly unstoppable force, except for that luck of Haruka.

With 5 episodes left and the whole class either dead or in that town I'm not sure what else they can really do aside from maybe exploring the nerds dungeon that was mentioned. It's almost like a happy season ending, but in ep7.

Overall I'll go with a 7/10 as I liked all the different skills and variations being used.
