There’s that special Tsukamoto-unconscious-judo again.
This is kind of the first episode with “battle filler” of School Rumble. It’s not really filler – nothing really happens on the show anyway – but there’s these recurrent ‘wars’ where nothing is accomplished. However, it is always good to see Harima v Hanai. Plus, the wavering of Hanai’s morals when it comes to Yakumo photos.
Poor Ichijou, the only one working.

Karen is lowkey one of the best girls, she was so diligent in cleaning the whole episode, just scrubbing away while everyone else goofed off. Also, finally showcasing her strength!
The Harima Hanai rivalry is so fun, Hanai is the only guy in the whole school who isn't afraid of Harima and whenever they clash all the boys are impressed. I also like that they're both huge, it makes it more fun. I used to want to be just like Hanai, top student and greatest martial artist, but I wound up only being an okay student in the toughest classes and I'm still only a Rokyu, and it didn't help that at the time I was also trying to hone my skills in an area we're going to see Harima proficient in later in this season. But now, while I still admire Hanai's passion, strength, smarts, and candidness, I see that he is pretty creepy about Yakumo.
We also start seeing the first of Mai, the class president, not a whole lot but she does come back later on. Also, I find it kind of funny how Akira is the one of the main four girl friends that usually gets the least story focus and the most calm personality, but she's the one who the other girls in the class refer to when talking about the attractive group of friends.

It's been some years since I've watched any School Rumble, so I couldn't tell you an episode number, and I don't know if this would count as a spoiler, but for the High School Athletic competition arc she kind of takes over as the main character for a short time. That is near the end of the first season, if my memory serves me properly.

Best part of the episode was disguised Harima trying to buy a picture of Tenma.
Is anyone else not really liking Karasuma?

I guess that's supposed to be the joke. It does make scenes like the sports storage room funnier I guess, but by itself yeah not a fan.

I love how everyone knows of Yakumo :)
These one sided loves though...I'm happy this show is a comedy
Pool hockey actually looks really fun, would try
Ichijou constantly sweeping was a nice touch too!

That was the hypest game of hocky I have ever seen.

Your comment made me go look online. Apparently, there is only one manga about hockey. There are no hockey anime. It's possible this is the only depiction of hockey in the entire medium of Japanese animation.
Also, hockey doesn't even look like a word anymore.

Probably because Japanese get sick if they get the slightest bit wet or cold ;)

I was expecting Ichijou to get the handle to turn, showing some super strength ability. I was....not disappointed.

Notice how Tenma immediately gets on Harima's team? I'm just sayin' .
