With the latest season of Classroom of the Elite hitting its stride, fans are losing their minds over the latest mind games. There have been reports of the students at Advanced Nurturing High School finally cracking under the pressure. And now, Episode 7 has everyone talking because of the insane psychological maneuvering that left Class C in the dust. Read on to know the full tea.
Ayanokoji reveals his true colors in Episode 7
During this week’s massive social media blow-up, fans shared a sizzling scoop on the mental traps set during the latest special exam. A user asked on a forum if Ayanokoji is finally done hiding his “monster” side.
While the show usually keeps his moves subtle, this episode brought him to shed light on how much he’s been pulling the strings from the back of the room. “Episode 7-wise, the plot focused on the actual manipulation and less on the school drama,” one viewer noted.
“As for the Class C plot… I heard something interesting about how Ryuen thought he had the upper hand, but he was actually walking straight into a trap that’s been set since day one.” While the episode didn’t explicitly name every move, the way the alliances shifted made the case.
Kiyotaka Ayanokoji, the silent protagonist, used his advanced logic to replicate the “social dominance” of his rivals in real time. The tension peaks when the rival class realizes they’ve been played.
Since the show has already hinted at Ayanokoji’s dark past in the White Room, it makes sense for his tactics to be this cold and calculated. But guess what? Right after the episode’s revelation, many X users started hoping to see more of his “villain” arc.
Created and written by Shogo Kinugasa, the series debuted as a light novel before becoming an anime hit. Meanwhile, one user pointed out a different moment with an interesting point.
“Ryuen had this whole school in fear since Season 1,” they wrote. “I’m guessing the class leaders are shaking now. Even if they don’t show it.” With information still unfolding in the next episodes, the guessing game may continue.
Who do you think is Ayanokoji’s next target?
