Yr 2 is about to be so fyee. Hopefully 2025 release

Jamie See

He seems to want someone precious to him because he says let's pray holding someone precious in my arms makes me smile. I shortened it but he seems to hope for something to change about himself.

Kisuke01

Sad to see this go 2 even if the adaptation is funky. They should pull a Eminence in Shadow do Volume 0 before year 2 or something idk

Mari

Was it just me or was this whole season kinda just meh. I read the light novels a while ago but I don’t remember this arc being so meh.

Shiroja

That's how I understood as well. He is definitely using her but based on what he said he wants those feelings to become real whether it is with her or someone else.

Kisuke01

It's always comes down to the way it's adapted. Since the studio is able to take liberties since like Season 1 which was just used to push LN sales. The director or whoever just kept it like that when it could be so much better

Parampreet Singh

It’s not been that long since I have read the LN and I was hooked to it especially near the end. I loved the LN. On the other hand The anime adaptation of all 3 seasons as a whole is pretty mediocre, but I guess that’s just how it goes with most LN adaptations with few exceptions

LoneWolfNewMoon

i rather Y'all just keep reading atp, Y'all opinions kill me, don't Y'all know of they was to put everything in the episode that episode would be a good 40 mins long 😂😂 not happening

LoneWolfNewMoon

i loved this season, next season year 2, things going to extra wild, interesting and more mysterious, great reaction as always guys

Parampreet Singh

Nah i understand that completely. Not tryna argue But for example look at spice and wolf or rezero which cut a lot of content and still had amazing 2 seasons

bleach

Your guys commentary during the confession was hilarious 😂

Jazko

Where to start reading in the LN? Also is there any YT video that explains any of the details they left out or changed?

Ethan Carson

the light novel basically goes by class year and this is the final year 1 volume. so you should get year 2 volume 1. if youre looking for pdf sites i reccommend royal mtls they do a good job at translating them

Elz

i think you misinterpretend the ending kind of. he said maybe he doesnt want it to be the case that he has to get rid of her and that hoping holding someone in his arms makes him smile.

Kingmakaii

I’m calling cap 70 to 80 nigga plz you not even using 10% I bet I give it 5% that’s what he using currently 10% max 😭😂

Let me give you some perspective cause it's not just "opinion". Eminence in shadow adapted 2 volumes into 20 episodes, and still had to skip a few parts which is okay, that's the best they could do. Meanwhile, with Classroom of the Elite, each season has adapted 3-4 volumes into 12-13 episodes with more than a quarter of the content being kept out per season, most of it being important. The point is that the studio isn't even trying to make this into a good adaptation. From the start it was mostly to promote the light novel and such which is why it took so long for a season 2 and 3 despite the popularity it gained. Season 4 will be the most action-filled season so far if it gets adapted so it probably won't be as obvious as this season that skipped so much, however if the studio doesn't switch there's no way it's living up to the hype everyone is giving it.

season 2 and 3 actually adapted 5 volumes each since they included 7.5 and 11.5 ^, so that makes it even worse lol

Ranginald Vagel

Ayanokoyji ain’t even trying to act he’s just saying the words that’s hilarious. Good Luck Kei. Time to read 11.5 and Y2V1

Zero _

last episode and this episode was 11.5, yes they adapted an entire volume into 2 episodes.

Mr. K

It definitely didn't upkeep on the same energy as S1 and S2, they are going to need to find a way to make S4 top tier.

Parampreet Singh

Yea lol I did recognize some of the scenes from side story volumes. It’s alright I guess. After all we went ahead read the novel 🤷‍♂️ it would be hard to properly get the point across when only us readers know the full context of what was left out

King of New York

WE’RE DONE YEAR 1!! You guys were doing my boy Koji dirty 💀. Few things from the LNs that got left out / weren’t as clear : - I think you guys confused Ichinose with Kei. Ichinose has peach-coloured hair in the anime and is the leader of Class B and Kei has blonde hair and a ponytail. There's a large female cast so can't blame you. - I know everyone skips the opening but they updated it with Suzune’s new hairstyle and look. - What you guys said about Ayanokoji helping everyone level up is true and goes back to the white room flashbacks. He is an extremely conflicted character. He has the sociopathic elitist persona he developed from having to rise through the white room his entire life, but at the same time he hates his dad a lot and wants nothing more than to see him and his philosophy fail (Which they left out from his dialogue when he first met sakayanagi). That’s why so many of the things he does are contradictory. He’s trying to make everyone at the school better so they can finally beat him but at the same time he can’t stand losing because of the trauma he has from getting punished if he ever lost. - What Ryuen did during the final exam to Ichinose’s class was put laxatives in their food to make all the main players for the class absent on the day of the exam. - They didn’t mention this but Ryuen also figured out a clever workaround for the exam. You needed to select a different number of students for each event in the exam but he bypassed that by choosing all martial arts events and setting them as “tournament style”, that way it would still just be a bunch of 1 v 1 fights with his goons who are all good fighters. - Ryuen was very sloppy and left all the evidence behind because he didn’t care if he was expelled. Ayanokoji was telling him that if he ever wants to beat him he’s gonna have to lose the “All or nothing” mentality and evolve his methods somehow. Koji says that Ryuen will probably think of some crazy way that he’d never even think of and he’s ready for it. - Ayanokoji was lying when he said he was already using like 70-80% of his effort, he just told Matsushita that so she wouldn’t expect a lot from him going forward. - Matsushita also hides her smartness from everybody just because she also doesn’t want to stand out too much but she’s not anywhere close to Koji. - The scene at the end was beautiful and sad, Koji was praying to himself that getting the chance to experience human warmth will finally make him smile without faking it, but we see it didn’t. It was likely Manabu telling him to leave a mark on the people if he doesn’t want to leave a mark on the school itself that drove him to confess to Kei. - As you can see he only wants to date Kei to learn about something new that he couldn’t even learn in the white room, love. He’s hungry for knowledge and they said back in the s2 portion of the LN that he has more knowledge than most people gain in their lifetimes. - A really common misconception is that he doesn’t have any emotions. He does but he just doesn’t show it on his face. If you go back to some scenes in s1 and even the Kushida scene where she first blackmails him, he’s much more expressive. He was trying to fake being a normal high schooler but eventually he just gives that up and stays as the stoic guy who is super average. - He CAN change his face and smile but he's just faking it. What he wanted at the end was to genuinely smile on his face without noticing or faking it. It doesn’t help that the anime removed his monologues where he says how he’s feeling and when he’s lying so you just have to take a lot of things at face value. Now some important things to remember for year 2!: - The caller in Episode 3 or 4 of this season who called Ayanokoji in the middle of the night and just said his name to make sure it was him. This comes back eventually but looong after it’s foreshadowed so it’s good to just keep in mind. - Ryuen STILL has that contract that he made with Class A at the end of the island exam in S1. He made the deal with Katsuragi (Bald guy) that in the island exam they would give Class A a bunch of their resources and information, in exchange they get private points from Class A every month until graduation. Key take away here is that Ryuens pockets are slowly filling up as time goes on. - Chairman Sakayanagi is still suspended but Arisu and the teachers for Class A and C are going to help Ayanokoji be protected from Tsukishiro as much as possible. - Horikita’s deal with Koji for the next written exam. If Horikita wins then Koji can’t pull his usual BS and say “Nah”, he has to give it his all from now on. If Koji wins Horikita has to join the student council. - Kanzaki from Class B has been there since season 1, but he’s now starting to get frustrated at how flustered Ichinose’s mental state has been and is kinda fine with taking the smoke to get to Class A now. - Remember Kushida STILL apparently has that extra blazer with Ayanokojis fingerprints and is blackmailing him that she’ll accuse him of rape if he tells anyone about her real personality. She also has the deal with him that Ayanokoji must transfer half of his monthly private points to her. - The new first years are coming with a white room student mixed in supposedly! The anime is quite different from the source, but I liked it a lot and sometimes this is how it has to be and there’s nothing you can really do about it other than support it. Let’s pray they don’t outsource as much in the future. HOPEFULLY WE GET SEASON 4 OR A MOVIE AND IT’S NOT LEFT IN LIMBO AGAIN!

Syuri

I thought they already dealt with her blazer back in s2??? when Kei spilled a drink on her I know they snuck a cheat sheet into her blazer but I thought in the LN it also said they got her other blazer washed or something I might be misremembering though

King of New York

Nah they only dealt with her spare blazer she's been wearing with the cheat sheet during the paper shuffle exam. She still has her blazer with Kojis fingerprints in her room (This is all according to her btw but if you've read into Y2 you'll know how this ends up).

Manny garduno

This season was so ass 🔥🔥🔥

Jacob Artis

Based on what ive read from the light novel, ayanakoji doesnt actually want to be the way that he is. At the end of the episode he says he hopes there is a future where he wont look at kei as just a learning experience, which i think they misunderstood

✨《HENTAI GOD》✨

Btw yall are getting karuizawa and ichinose mixed up they are 2 different people ichinose has the long hair and is in class B Karuizawa has the pony tail and is in class D with koji

Devin B

At least Ayanokoji is hoping that he doesn't just discard Karuizawa after he gets all that he could out of her, his intentions for getting into the relationship wasn't genuine but he's hoping that he could change

Nachelie

Ayanokoji wants to learn more about romance so Kei is called a textbook as a guide not a tool. The anime does such a terrible job with Ayanokoji's personality where he can actually have emotions and human thoughts in the LN.

Trey

that's why I never like the JC Staff ass art style you could switch hairstyles on these characters and they'd look the exact same

Trey

ayanokoji be killing me the way he just chooses the right dialogue options with upmost stoicism

King of New York

That was her other blazer she still has the one with fingerprints in her room as of end of Year 1.

✨《HENTAI GOD》✨

tbh i dont think they look to similar you just gotta pay attention i get wym by the art style but its also kinda hard to get all the info when commentating aswell so i get how they can mistake one for the other.

Trey

Nah that got me too cuz 80% is crazy this nigga on like 10 😂😂

lyssa

See you on S4

Nachelie

The difference is if you actually read the LN, he wants to learn about romance. Kei is such of a tool but he does care about her.

Jalen Holmes

From I what I got from the end part with kei, I think he was saying he is using her for her to grow and to learn about romance. But at the same time, he hopes in the future that he will not just toss her aside as having someone precious in his arms makes him smile. Idk tho cuz im a anime only. W reaction cant wait for s4

ShaquanVirse

The anime doesn't potray it well but he does care about her - LN does it a little better

Koji

At the end though, I think Ayanokoji wants to change via Kei and hopes he can finally smile while being with her.

Dud3 itsj3ff

I think he wants to care and that he believes his best chance to care about somebody is going to be with Karuizawa... but he's also not someone to deny his true self. If his true self is a POS emotionless robot, he's going to roll with it. At least he's trying to break through though.

Tokyo GxS

yall on Koji ass like bro wasn't forced to act like that from a child, he only knows that

Cameron Robinson

I see a lot bring up stuff from the Light Novel to “give context” or “better explain” what’s going on with Ayanokoji but I think the animators have just changed the character of Ayanokoji in general. They aren’t leaving things out necessarily but node have changed the character to be more stoic and way less empathetic. LN Ayanokoji is not the character they want in the anime.

FreshxEli Tv

Damn Ayan about to pull that Omni Men On Kei 😭😭😂

Malachi Way

Ayanokoji da ultimate gaslighter😂

Dan

haha, I kept wondering if they thought it was the same person too

Re_Slayer

Y'all missed that last explanation NGL. Ayanokouji is using her yes, both for her to grow and so that he can learn about romance/love. But he wants that romance to actually happen. That's why he says let's pray that with someone precious in my arms (Karuizawa kei) that I'm smiling. That being said I'm still mad he called my girl a textbook lol.

Moon God

Yea I was going to say the same thing, they missed possibly the BIGGEST part of the episode near the end. Ayanokoji's whole thing is that he was forced to become the way he is from the White Room, right now he is like a child figuring out the world for the first time in some aspects. Since he has never known romantic feelings (or feelings in general) he couldn't process the thought of loving someone, that's why he is 'using' (again, him saying 'using' stems from the White Room, not him) Kei like a textbook, to study and see if there is a possibility where he wouldn't dispose of people like they're tools. Although I don't know to a certainty, because I'm anime-only.

Moon God

"Lets pray... that in this moment, holding someone precious in my arms... I'm smiling." This could be taken as him being hopeful for a change in himself caused by Kei that'd allow him to smile, or that the moment has already past and he's confirmed he does not value romantic feelings, because it does pan up to his face and he is not smiling.

Neo C Serrato

you guys keep getting confused with kei and Ichinose its pissing me off

Neo C Serrato

these guys don't even get ayanokojis character its infuriating

TOBSULTRAMAN80085

its not their fault. the anime made him much more edgier than he is and they dont read the light novel. blame the adaptation, not them.

TOBSULTRAMAN80085

check out Baseless Upen on youtube. he talks about all the content cut from the LN each episode and he makes it simple and easy to understand

Sum1s0mewhere

I can see why some people would get the MC character wrong, the way they make him on the anime.

Team Skull Grunt B

COTE is the first anime ever to be an amazing show but a bad adaptation imo. For me it doesn't matter how much LN readers complain, all 3 seasons have been gas for me

Slicewinds

I feel like hes being genuine about learning about romance, but I wouldnt doubt if this just another play to keep karuizawa in his pocket

DarkGodHao

Ya'll forget Ayanokoji had the COLDEST character monolog at the end of season 1, bro's morality meter is broken 6 ways to sunday. This kid is the definition of straight outta Arkham, bro has the intelligence and moral of a batman villain, but was made that way thanks to their society

Nuke XD

At the end of the last season Ayanokoji was hoping that his relationship w Kei would be able to change him, and here he really is interested in romance and he even say "lets pray" that I actually evolve emotions and start actually liking you, so I can smile with you, but he still a Demon at this point lol

Drake Rage

It's absolutely wild that y'all still keep thinking that Karuizawa and Ichinose are the same person.... Karuizawa Kei(Same Class, Yellow/Blonde hair, Love interest) Ichinose(Class B, Pinkish Blonde hair)

Raider

That ending was gold 😂
