First thoughts after watching Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Episode 15

I am a light novel reader for this series and this note includes a spoiler.

I watched the Classroom of the Elite, COTE, season 4, episode 15. This was actually great episode to see our girl Sakayanagi made it a lot the leaders in the 2nd year did pretty well. In the last episode, I thought 2nd years grade didn't do pretty well like Sakayanagi in the exam, but I forgot she spent time to help Ayanokoji and also Ichino sent out of control so kinda makes sense, it might make sense?

Anyway, in the episode, 1st year students tried to surround Ayanokoji. Obviously he was extraordinary physiques so even he thought there were more numbers than he had expected, he was able to dodge them easily. And then he was blocked by other 2nd years students from any classes because Sakayanagi helped him. Sakayanagi and Ichino's classes coordinated in this exam, and Ryuen also agreed to help, so there were really all classes, except Ayanokoji's class, I guess. I bet he didn't talk to Horikita, so no way class C knew this. Tsubaki also expected him to dodge them and she asked Housen to wait for him. So Housen really looked glad to fight him, but then Ryuen came and they started fighting. The fight was, much more brutal than the previous episode of Koenji or the episode of Ayanokoji vs Ryuen. In the first place, Housen's fist was so strong so each punch caused bleeding Ryuen. Housen hit Ryuen's face, cheek, and stomach, and Ryuen even bled from his mouth. That's very non high school student, and he sure should've been knocked out or dead. He was tough. Also, Housen didn't get most of hits from Ryuen. However, Ishizaki and Albert intercepted Housen and they holded Housen's arms down on the ground. Then Ryuen ground and pound him. Housen also bled and also his left eye had bruise. This might be the most violent fighting scene in Youjitsu? So for someone who likes actions or fighting, this might be a good episode.

Then Ayanokoji talked to Sakayanagi by a transceiver. He owed much more than what she owed to him, which she liked to have and she enjoyed talking. And she noticed Ichinose was trying to meet him, and share it to him.

Sakayanagi told Ichinose's place to him so he went to meet her. Ichinose also found him across a stream and they met on a rock on a stream. Was it the same in the LN? It was a very dramatic and beautiful scene, but i felt like why don't they move somewhere more stable. But anyway, Ichinose was so rush and needed to tell what she knew. And she told him that Tsukishiro was trying to sabotage him in the I-2. And she was threatened by Tsukishiro to expel her classmates if she told about this to Ayanokoji. Then she was rush to come there and was trying to tell whatever her mind was, so she told him that she loved him. She was confused by herself but she understood how she felt to him. He didn't answer yes or no and just wanted her to wait because he was with Kei. Well, Ichinose around these episodes were really great and still one of the main heroines.

Anyway, then he was trying to go to the point Tsukishiro prepared but in the middle of the way, Nagumo came. Nagumo was really interested with him, but Ayanokoji didn't care about Nagumo. This was the time when Ayanokoji said that he actually had respects to him that he controlled students in the entire grade. Anyway, Nagumo was trying to intercept him but Ayanokoji completely knocked him out.

The end of Ayanokoji's eyes became green, and Ryuen got red, so Ayanokoji's eyes really isn't like normal and Ryuen's eyes are really fighting spirits, I guess.

Watched 2nd time.

The fights between Ryuen and Housen was it was one side game but still Ryuen won against the stronger opponent in this episode. By the way, Ryuen said fighting him was to earn money, but was it from Ayanokoji? Did they talk about what was reward in the volumes later?

Tsubaki said she should've done by herself after losing her operation, but how could she win Ayanokoji by herself. She was smart but seems to be confident or might be arrogant. And Yagumo in this exam was so useless which seemed not to do anything, at least on the surface.

How did Ayanokoji feel when Ichinose confessed to him? In my brain, I thought it was the moment of just according to keikakku.

About Nagumo, I remembered I had thought Nagumo was a strong and evil character that even Ayanokoji would take time to take him down, until this episode but I got him underdog in this episode. And it wasn't changed a bit in the anime, too. Maybe in Anime, it's not drawn enough that he was actually a really strong leader so far, though.
