ogata’z mother had an absolutely fabulous final number

so compared to sawada shin & odagiri ryu ，i would say ogata yamato is the most ’ ’ boy☆ish ’ ’ like he’s the most youthful of the three. the latest two leaders had yabuki & kazama that were obviously more full of new life to balance them out as more rational & appearing more mature which i thought allowed ogata to habe a lot more depth. takaki yuya also is relatively super tall to but because he’s never been in major prominance & has always been with his crowd of friends he loolks like a child with them throighout the entire show. i forgot how tall yuuyan was until this episode when i saw him next to the guard which i felt was perfect. just because you haven’t gotten to develope as a character doesn’t mean you stop physically growing ，no. you still age. you still change ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ but with that being said ，this was the penultimate episode of the season. of the series but i don’t know if they knew that. & i think that this was an underwhelming episode. there were no stakes to be honest there was no real weight to anything. i don’t know i feel impartial to anything that’s happened. i do like how one of yamaguchi’s inal lessons to a particular student is one that ties both of their estranged family situations together but as i just said wjat weight is there with this ？it’s a conversation that brushes by essentially ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ what i said about ogata feeling the most boy☆ish is that seeing him lose his facade & cry when his father spits at him he feels so much like a child. but then we move on to him celebrating with his friends. i am happy ogata doesn’t have to forgive him but I’m unhappy that there’s zero closure. which is a reoccurng theme with gokusen. a lot of the endings are so unsatisfactory. like we got one more episode left for akagi to make shake before she ends her existence with nothing of any note.

Too fast

The best part of the latest episode was the Apasiri x Yarinda reveal. It made me scream!Episode 6 was way too fast paced. It rushed through the marriage, the takeover, and the big reveal all in one episode, which left almost no room to actually feel anything. I wish they had let us sit with the emotions for a bit instead of speeding through everything.I’d give it a 4/10. The biggest issue is definitely the pacing. If this show had 12 episodes, it could have had proper storytelling and buildup. I keep imagining what it could have been, and that’s what sucks the most because the show really had so much potential.Great cast though.

Fast paced

After Watarai found Hioki, Hioki apologised for causing trouble and the girl’s said if he was truly sorry that he would take the girls to this place they wanted to go in the amusement park, and it was a cursed hospital experience and during all this Hioki dropped his flashlight and somebody grabbed his shoulder from behind and he thought it was watarai, but then watarai appears in front of him looking him since he fell behind, only for Hioki to look back AND SEE THAT IT WAS A MUMMY. Later, they all go in a carousel ride since they only had 15 minutes until they had to leave, and for memories watarai pulled out his phone and started recording and so did Hioki after seeing this and then finally Hioki had the courage to ask watarai what he liked about Hioki, only for watarai to reply that he “doesn’t know himself”. And as they’re having dinner, we find out watarai had a younger brother in first grade, which is what Hioki used as the reason for why watarai was so caring towards him, and watarai found out Hioki had two older sisters, which is why he considered Hioki so cute. And then as they got to their new hotel for the day there was a mixup and now the boys only had 4 beds to share between 5 people, and so watarai and Hioki were forced to share the same bed. As Hioki was sleeping, we get a flashback of watarai being asked by one of the girl’s in their group for the amusement park the reason why he liked Hioki so much, and watarai replied with “everything about him” LIKEE OMGOMG.
