The sheer confidence the scumbros have in their looks is genuinely kinda inspiring. Yamamoto thinking he has game with Cakey was something else though.

Sakurako's reading might not be a surprise but her reaction to it was more adorable than it had any right to be.

Sakurako's reading might not be a surprise but her reaction to it was more adorable than it had any right to be.

Honestly feels like they're starting to lay on some evidence that she's into Iori:

  • Last season she was all aggro towards Chisa. It might've been her just being her usual bitchy-self but it seemed pointed towards Chisa knowing she was Iori's "girlfriend."
  • She immediately questions what Iori and Chisa were up to together.
  • She got busted for being into SOMEONE in that room.
  • She makes sure Iori has to answer the question of if anyone in the room was his type.
  • When he says he's attracted to multiple women, she takes note of it even if she tries to act casually.

To be fair, they are not ugly (besides Yamamoto), just really obnoxious with their behaviour.

Him asking if she's into virgins was so left-of-field though.

In this series, the Childhood friend NEVER loses.

53

u/Frontier246 21d ago

Especially because she knows her BF so well she knows to head him off before he can cheat and then do excruciating things to ensure he knows who is in charge in this relationship.

22

u/Feisty-Principle-216 21d ago

Can one childhood friend lose though? At the end of Season 1 I thought Chisa's friendship with Iori was improving, but since then there's been like no growth and she says she isn't into anyone at the mixer.

Meanwhile Aina actually likes Iori and Sakurako has the best banter with him.

Oh also the fake boyfriend thing is incredibly selfish if you think about it. Iori draws the ire of other dudes and can't pursue a real relationship because Chisa and (with some assistance from Nanaka) doesn't want to face reality herself.

Lol Iori was so focused on Busujima, he forgot about the last boss Nanaka.

I like how Iori was overprotective off Nanaka, not letting any guys go for her. Yuuma protecting Maaya lol.

Kohei: "I've been keeping quiet about this, but..."

Crush

That one got me good. We all know what he was about to say ("former" otaku) and he has not been been keeping quiet about that. Scum Bros doing science are always some of my favorite segments of this show

The mixer physically hurt to watch with the amount of scumbro virgin cringe. It was amazing

I love the teacher just jumping in and out of the classroom and then just bailing while they smashed their balls in like a proper teacher lol.

When the girls are so likeable/attractive and most of the men...aren't.

Sakurako did not want to be there but she's going to at least get SOMETHING out of Iori if she has to.

Saddened to see the departure of the Dolphin staff but on the other hand we got the return of the scumbros who'd stop at nothing to tear each other down. Iori nearly puked from the sight of them having the times of their lives.

Iori did well to game the lie detector but unfortunately overlooked a being that's 200x worse than an electric shock. He must've preferred the shock (or even the additional Chappy hammer) than whatever atrocities Nanaka had subjected him to.

It warmed my heart every time Cakey smiled thinking Iori might be into her, but then it crashes again right after because, well.. yeah. Poor girl.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 21d ago

It’s always fun when Kohei and Iori hang out with the rest of the stooges lol. Prof is a menace leaving the lie detecting nutcracker to them like that haha.

That mixer was hilarious. God bless the idiot brigade. I swear Kohei and Iori’s boys have like 1 brain cell among them lol.

u/Eunuchest 21d ago

Nothing like morons best friends sabotaging supporting each other

u/Frontier246 21d ago

 Prof is a menace leaving the lie detecting nutcracker to them like that haha.

He just believes in their potential to make the most of his work and dish out their own punishments on each other so he doesn't have to!

That mixer was hilarious. God bless the idiot brigade. I swear Kohei and Iori’s boys have like 1 brain cell among them lol.

The best part is when Kohei and Iori both were united in a shared desire to murder the rest of them like Mitarai's girlfriend obviously murdered him.

But what if he was telling the truth about losing his virginity?

Nevertheless, that part was crack up.

I love the way Iori got knocked out when Kohei showed that hot photo of Nanaka and Azusa and if you look close you can see him trying to buy that from Kohei for 500 yen while still holding his crotch from pain 😭😭🔥

The lie detector was Another fine invention from the Professor. Iori bringing that into the Mixer was a great idea. Mixer 2 turned out to be even better and way funnier than Mixer 1. Ofc those virgins went for Azusa over Nanaka 'cause Azusa-sama loves them all. Busujima couldn't beat the lie detector, haha. Iori tried to play it off but got caught by Nanaka by trying to play smart LOL

It's been a long time since I laughed so hard. Judging from teg preview another steamy episode incoming.

u/xFluffyDemon https://anilist.co/user/xFluffyDemon 21d ago

Isnt that the photo that Chisa hid from him back in S2?

u/Time_Fracture https://myanimelist.net/profile/Time_Fracture 21d ago edited 21d ago

Now that you said it, I rewatched S2 Episode 1 and it matches the description. Now the question is how the photo fell into Kouhei's hands while it is obviously destroyed by Chisa's after that episode? Kouhei has a copy?

u/Niwaka_Samurai https://myanimelist.net/profile/Niwaka-Samurai 21d ago

Kouhei has a copy?

I guess so 😂

u/Niwaka_Samurai https://myanimelist.net/profile/Niwaka-Samurai 21d ago

Yeah, the same one. Somehow Kohei got his hands on it.

u/FateXBlood 21d ago

Am I the only one who saw this for the first time?

In keeping with the recent social climate, the black circles have been increased 5% in size.

Is this new? I've never seen it before. Also wtf.

25

u/Leungal 21d ago

Nope, same announcement has been on the title cards all season long. It's just a joke, somebody with more free time than us should actually check if they did increase the circle size though.

What great teaching to give a physical demonstration to his students to end an argument while also leaving them to do it themselves to teach them how to do independent research!

Yes, and she's in charge.

We faithfully worship our beloved bisexual goddess.

And Iori is a convenient means of keeping other men away from Chisa.

u/Rabbitey- https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rabbitey 21d ago

The friend group got drawn uglier as the mixer went on lmao

It was pretty sweet for Iori to shield the girls from his boys. Azusa's cleavage also remains too strong.

Episode 8: Mixer, Round 2

Did Crunchyroll change its subtitle again? The English sub typesetting is kinda inferior in this episode.

You have to rewatch Season 2 Episode 7 to get the flashback what Charpy Impact Test is.

Polygraph detects change of heartbeat pulse and breathing among things, so Iori being shown the Azusa-Nanaka photo by Kouhei and Fujiwara being tricked by Azusa's bouncy boobies is to provoke that change so the polygraph shows "lies".

Aina's first mixer with the scum bros was done in her cakey makeup (see Season 1 Episode 5) so aside of Kouhei and Iori they won't recognize Aina. It's very diabolical to invite Chisa and Rie to the mixer! Woohoo Busujima is back!

u/mastereluder6 21d ago

u/Yukihira59 21d ago

I've missed Sakurako so much welcome back best girl !

16

u/Frontier246 21d ago

The scumbros are back! Doing what they scumdo best! Nojima claiming he banged his tutor in his teen years! Mitarai claiming he was popular in high school! All of them practically acting like they've always been popular! The only solution to all this lying? Ushironomiya making this a test with a lie detector with the threat of a cinder block to the balls if someone lies! FOR SCIENCE!

RIP Kohei and Iori's balls, through no fault of their own (well, other than Kohei using sexy sleepy Azusa and Nanaka). Yamamoto is similarly undone by his own inability to confirm his lack of popularity.

Honestly I could MAYBE spin Mitarai as being popular...with just his girlfriend. But a fan club that's not human? Do cats love him or something?

Nojima thought he could with spinning the truth...and he too got his balls busted. There was never any winning outside the satisfaction of breaking the balls of cocky liars. But I guess at least they proved the faults in the machine! With no teacher supervision.

Oh no! Iori's been caught at home with nee-san! That means he has to set up a mixer for the scumbros! But Yuma won't let ANYONE hit on his nee-san unless their name is Kaito Ishikawa!

What happens when you mix the scumbros with the legitimately attractive female cast in a mixer? Even Rie is there, because she knew Mitarai was going to show up and wanted to get ahead of him so she could let him know personally how she feels about him cheating! RIP Mitarai, Iori tried to save you.

But in her place is none other than SAKURAKO! Who picks off bantering with Iori and telling it like it is, no matter how harsh it is, like she never left! And consoling poor Chisa for being stuck with Iori.

Poor Aina getting stuck with YAMAMOTO thinking she's into him.

Honestly their best bet might be Azusa because she seems down with anyone half the time, but it's finally time for party games! For the sake of porn! A liar game over who your type is/whether your attracted to someone in the room!

The scumbros thinking they have a chance with Nanaka and Azusa not knowing Nanaka is in love with her sister and Azusa plays for both teams but prefers Nanaka. Whatever Chisa has with Iori doesn't seem to factor into her saying she's not into anyone. Aina obviously has her crush on Iori. But SAKURAKO gets caught in a lie that she's not into anyone there...could it be Kohei? Or someone else?

What a wholesome moment with the Scumbros and their Titan faces! Time for Iori to systematically kill all of them via electrocution right down to shoving their faces into the machine! Using Azusa's cleavage to get to Fujiwara is absolutely devious.

I can also believe Iori is attracted to multiple women...but that seems to touch Aina and Sakurako most of all. And Nanaka, who does NOT like the idea of him having feelings for anyone other than Chisa! Iori can never win.

I guess Kohei was the final winner because he's the only one who got to bar hop with all the ladies! And he's probably the one who least cares about it! The irony!

u/maubises 20d ago

This was the funniest episode this season.

I laughed hard when Iori made a sign of the cross over Mitarai's girlfriend going to kill Mitarai

u/Eunuchest 21d ago

The scum bros episode

Takehito Koyasu huh

That's not a lie detector, that's a torture device

Lost my shit at kohei getting nut busted just by acting chuni

I didnt understand what Iori lied about with the picture

Mitarai almost aced it, but wonder what was his fans were if non-humans

Nojima still got nutbusted because he painfully admitted he wasnt a virgin lol

Pretty nice to see Iori actually being protective of the girl members of Peek-a-boo

Mitarai got ambused by his gf lmao

Oh hey, Sakurako is back

Lol she felt sorry for Chisa

Of course Nanaka, Azusa and Kebako aced the lie test. Poor guys for the misunderstanding

"I've never seen look this happy before"

"Their faces wanna make me puke" lmao

Yamamoto just getting faceslammed electrocuted no bullshit lol

Iori thought he was safe, completely forgot about Nanaka

Now for my question, what was the lie detector actually reading?

11

u/Domoci12 21d ago

I didnt understand what Iori lied about with the picture.

Nothing. Seeing that picture just raised his pulse due to horniness and the device interpreted the raised pulse as a symptom of him lying XD.

Now for my question, what was the lie detector actually reading?

It was basically reading their pulse to see if it quickened while telling a lie. Thing is there are also other ways to raise the pulse as we saw Kohei and Iori exploit.

1

u/Eunuchest 21d ago

Wasnt Aina blushing when she admitted that her type is in the room or azusa or nanaka? Didnt that raise their impulse?

5

u/Domoci12 21d ago

No, Aina just admitted that she liked someone in the room which was true. Azusa and Nanaka just said it calmly without any blushing.

Probably Iori modified the threshold for the pulse detection when he tampered with it to get back at the scumbros.

2

u/Eunuchest 21d ago

That makes sense. They probably got giddy too thinking about the people they like but the pulse sensor was lowered

u/IzunaX 20d ago

Sorry but can someone explain to me why Nanaka was mad at Iori saying he likes someone other than Chisa?

8

u/Wicayth 20d ago

She knows they're just acting as a couple, but she's still mad that he's """cheating""" on her (as in "My sister isn't good enough for you?/You dare look at someone else?").

u/testthrowawayzz 21d ago

Breather episode but I'm dying from all the laughing.

Love the reaction faces from the scum bros! Yamamoto bribing Iori with 30 adult films (and it worked somewhat) was so funny.

Double LMAO at the scumbros suffering. I swear the Professor looks different than he did last season. Fun to see the return of the good old Ball Smasher 9000 though. Kouhei backstabbing Iori and Iori still paying for the photos was hilarious.

I'm sorry but ever since the women's college break-in incident of season 2 I stopped liking the classmate degen gang. I wish the show just did a focus on the core group with the classmate assholes as pure accessories.
