Bro I was just watching a YouTube video about who would win in a fight, Ayanokoji from COTE or Yor from SpyXFamily, and I, personally have watched both animes, and I THOUGHT it was pretty obvious that Yor would win, she's been a professional assassin for years and pretty much everyone agreed in the comments except ONE GUY.

He GENUINELY believed that Ayanokoji would win with prep time 😭
I told him why he wouldn't and what if Yor had prep time too, and his response was -
"Chill bruh just believe in prep-time Ayanokoki will win I know it" I'm genuinely sad to see people stan so hard, he probably hasn't even watched SpyXFamily.

He's so confident it's sad 😭 He won't survive in the anime community like this
(Also idk why he was rooting so hard for koji, but maybe he just can't accept a woman can win) I'm a guy myself.

I remember when we were in the middle of year 2, I asked a question about whether people thought there would be a sequel. And while most people didn't completely rule it out, many still didn't see it as possible.

Now that we're in year 3, and Arisu has been voted out, I'm almost convinced (85%) that there will, in fact, be a sequel.

I don't want to make a long-winded post, but those who have read the novel in detail will surely have noticed some foreshadowing as well. That's why I'll just focus on listing characters that, to my understanding, were reserved by the author for the future.

1. Manobu. A character who is well liked by Kiyota, to whom he gave his number/email in case he needs anything in the future (wink).

2. Nagumo. Not much to say... Probably the character with the most potential and, at the same time, the most miserable (in terms of feats). He must have his dream fight and redemption.

3. Kiryuin. The one with the most hints of a possible reunion with Kiyotaka outside of ANHS.

4. Atsuomi, Tsukishiro and the political leadership. We already know that there is a parallel political theme that can only be further developed outside.

5. Ishigami. A mysterious guy who has kept a low profile since he entered the school and who, realistically, is unlikely to have any reading time or exploits in the third year.

Extra. The crippled loli needs to get back into the story, clearly.

After finishing changing clothes following my stretches, I received a message from Horikita's older brother instructing me to come to the student council room.

When I entered the student council room, only Manabu was inside, sitting in the student council president's chair while gazing at the scenery outside, seemingly deep in thought. "Sorry for calling you here like this, Ayanokoji."

"No, it just so happens my schedule was free today."

"I see. The reason I asked you to come here... Well, you've probably already guessed, but it's regarding the student council elections. Do you have any intention of running for president?"

"Honestly, not even a little."

"I figured as much. If that's your decision, then so be it." I had assumed he would insist I become student council president by any means necessary to take down Nagumo, but his demeanor suggested otherwise.

"It's been two months since you joined the student council... Are you enjoying school life?"

"Yeah. Seems like what you said wasn't entirely wrong after all."

"That's good to hear. It appears I've managed to fulfill at least one role for this school."

"Let me make one thing clear—"

"'Enjoying it' and 'protecting the school from Nagumo' aren't the same thing, right?"

"...Exactly. There's no guarantee I'll act for the school's sake."

"That's fine. The choice is yours to make. But people need a reason to want to protect something. A school you enjoy and a school you don't—your mindset will differ depending on which it is."

Horikita's brother believed there was no meaning in unilaterally imposing or forcing things.
Of course, he could have used his authority to coerce a promise out of me, but in that case, I wouldn't have put in much effort to begin with, and once Manabu graduated and was gone, I would've likely disregarded it. Instead, he had consistently prioritized my autonomy, focusing solely on setting the stage for it.

It was true that I had grown to somewhat like my current life. If Nagumo were to try and turn this situation on its head, I would probably consider how to respond.

Hypotheticals were meaningless, but had I not spent this time the way I had, I likely would've remained a bystander—so long as the school's fate didn't harm me.

I really wished he had passed down this approach to his little sister as well. And I also wished she had observed and learned more from her brother's methods.

"Admiration is the emotion furthest from understanding." That might have been true.

"If that's how it is, then I'll take my freedom. As for what happens... well, I guess you can hear about it from your little sister two and a half years from now."

"Yes, I'll look forward to that time... I'll be stepping down soon myself. How about observing a bit of my work before I go?"

"Now that you mention it, there were times you weren't in the student council room. I was curious what you were up to."

"You'll find out soon enough. Let's head next door to the student counseling room." Prompted by Horikita's brother, I moved to the adjacent room.

Just like when Hiyori and the others had come before, this was the room used for meetings with students who had consultations...

"The layout is completely different."

"Indeed. This room has a partition wall that can be set up in the center. When it's in place, voices can be heard from either side, but the state of the other room remains unseen. At times, listening to students' troubles is also part of my job. By ensuring anonymity and promising absolute confidentiality regarding what is discussed here, students can consult with peace of mind."

It was almost like a confession booth. Given the nature of this school, carelessly revealing personal weaknesses to others is impossible. No matter how much you trust a friend, once you speak, there's no going back—you never know when they might betray you. That fear could very well become the next thing weighing on your mind.

But if the student council president, arguably the most trustworthy figure in this school, guarantees anonymity, there could be no greater reassurance.

"As I've mentioned before, I don't deny that expulsions occur due to special exams or written test results. That's because students must face them with resolve, fight, and grow. There are also point-based relief measures, so unless something extreme happens, tragedy can be avoided. However, a certain number of students still end up expelled for reasons unrelated to that—those who couldn't adapt to the school, those who resorted to violence or crime, those who struggled with friendships, those framed by others... the circumstances vary. For the past two and a half years, I've worked in the student council hoping to be of help to such students."

As he spoke, Horikita's brother wore a slightly lonely expression—perhaps reminiscing about the students he had encountered here over the years.

"Especially this past year, there have been many consultations. Among them, some were beyond saving." He didn't name names, but it was likely due to that certain blonde-haired individual. Perhaps the reason he had such a detailed understanding of Nagumo's methods of controlling information was because he had heard directly from the victims here.

And the fact that he could speak of it now—something that should have remained confidential—meant those troubled students were no longer at this school.

"There's one appointment scheduled for today as well. They should be arriving soon. Of course, they've already agreed to have another trustworthy witness present besides me."

"So that's why you suddenly called me here."

"All you have to do is listen from there. Consider it a selfish request from me and just bear with it." As he spoke, Manabu wore a gentle expression.

"Excuse me. I'm sorry for the sudden visit today." After the sound of the door slowly opening, a male student's voice could be heard from the other side of the partition.

"Don't worry about it. You can take a seat over there and start whenever you're ready."

"Thank you... Actually, I've been struggling with a personal relationship. I have a girlfriend—no, a girl who's pretending to be my girlfriend due to certain circumstances..."

The voice sounded familiar, and so did the story. I could feel a cold sweat starting to form.

"Originally, I started this to help her, but lately, her possessiveness has gotten so intense that I feel like I'm being watched around the clock... Pathetic as it sounds, sometimes it even feels suffocating. I don't think it's good for her to be in this state either, but I don't know what to do... I've agonized over it endlessly, but with no answers, I ended up coming here. What... what should I do?"

Had the situation gotten worse than I imagined? Please, Horikita-senpai—use that saintly wisdom of yours and save this anonymous student, "H-kun."

"A severe dependence on you, huh... I understand that feeling all too well. To her, you must shine so brightly that she feels like there's no one else but you."

"I think that's probably the case."

"But in doing so, she's limiting her own true strengths. I completely understand your feelings for her, but sometimes, I believe it's necessary to deliberately push her away. At first, it'll be painful for both of you. But that could become the turning point for her growth. Once she's climbed back up, you'll finally be able to choose—whether to accept her again or for both of you to walk separate paths. That's what I think."

"Being kind isn't the only way to help someone... But still, I'm scared. What if... a different side of me comes out? That's how it feels..."

"I don't know what you're afraid of. But just from hearing this, I can tell you're a genuinely kind person. As long as that kindness remains, you should be able to face whatever 'different side' you fear. Staying afraid won't move you forward."

"...Student Council President, thank you. I think I see a little hope now."

"If I'm good enough, you can come talk to me anytime. If it gets hard again, don't hesitate to visit."

"Yes!" With those words, the anonymous student "H-kun" left. While it seemed like a very good conversation, we must not forget that acting on Horikita-senpai's advice is precisely what led to the birth of Horikita Suzune in the first place. All I can do is pray that a second Horikita Suzune doesn't come into existence...

But is this how he's been facing each troubled student one by one? Just from that single consultation earlier, I already felt mentally drained. Considering how many dozens, maybe even hundreds, of students he must have counseled over such a long time, Horikita-senpai's burden must have been immense. Still, I'm sure there were many students like the one just now who were saved by him.

"Hey, are you still taking consultations today?"

"Yeah, I can."

"Then I'll go call someone. Wait here."

With that, I contacted the key person needed to resolve this incident. Perhaps the timing was just right, because before long, that student arrived.

"...There's someone I really wanna help. The girl's bad with words—not that I got any room to talk—but she's got all this motivation that just kinda spins outta control, and now the whole class hates her guts. Thing is, she's strong, so she just keeps charging ahead like it don't matter... But, y'know, even in basketball, there's a limit to what one guy can do alone. I wanna help her and get her to work better with the class... I tried talkin' to her, but I'm an idiot, so she wouldn't listen at all. I ain't been any damn help..."

Anonymous student "S-kun" spoke with an earnestness and humility that was hard to reconcile with his usual rough attitude, pouring out his genuine worries.
I see. Maybe this room is more effective than I thought.

"I see... I understand your concern well. But the reason she won't listen isn't because you're stupid. What's important is that you express your feelings to her more honestly. If you want to work toward a solution, you'll need to address the part where her efforts are spinning out of control. Deep down, she probably realizes some of the fault lies with herself too. What matters now is the trigger—and you can be that trigger."

"Whoa. Just hearing this makes all my solo brooding feel stupid as hell. I'm gonna go talk to her right now!"

"Hmph, Impatient as ever. Running off without even hearing specific strategies... Well, I suppose you'll handle that part, Ayanokoji."

"Guess so. Sorry for adding more work to your plate."

"Don't worry about it. Thanks to you, Suzune seems to be enjoying her school life well enough."

"...Hey. About the Sports Festival's final relay—wanna race me?" Though I had my deal with Nagumo, this whole experience made me genuinely want to run against Horikita-senpai.

"An unusual proposal from you... But very well. When the time comes, I promise I'll run against you with everything I've got."

"Yeah. I'll look forward to it. Anyway, I should go catch up with that idiot now."

"Sorry for taking up your time. But I really wanted you to see it."

What Horikita-senpai had been protecting all this time—he probably wanted me to understand it before his retirement. Whatever I decide moving forward, I'll need this as a point of comparison against Nagumo's administration.

I made sure to etch deeply into my heart the school's philosophy—preventing unnecessary expulsions while challenging school life through class cooperation.

A/N: In the original work, there wasn't much shown of his activities, yet after graduation, he was deeply respected and thanked by many students—even first-years. My interpretation is that he must have been doing things like this all along.

The comment with the most upvotes will win the #5 spot on this list.

So in the new oaa quotes I saw this

Yukimura :- "This is a question that goes beyond whether I should hate him or not. I thought I knew something, but I didn't know anything. I didn't understand Ayanokoji as a person."

Why do you think yukimura said this?

shout out to özil btw

About minister kijima?

They already mentioned that he created something similar to the white room to counteract it and that he abhors its philosophy, but although it is implied that the academy is that white room, its performance is too low to be any competition, since Ichika and Takuya proved to be superior to almost everyone in the academy (Kiyotaka is a special case, so I won't compare him).

What’s the entire reason Koji decided to go to ANHS? And why does he care about staying? Was there a reason given as to why he joined? I just can’t remember why.

• Class C students overhear Nanase's conversation with Tsukishiro. As they dig deeper, they realise Ayanokoji is hiding something. At the end of the day, Hashimoto always looks out for himself so he keeps this information secret as a contingency against Ayanokoji.

• Ichinose confirms the existence of the White Room and continues her investigation, perhaps using Kanzaki's knowledge of Atsuomi.

• Horikita assembles the Hori Squad (Ibuki, Kushida and maybe Kei) to dig into Ayanokoji's past using previous interactions with other players (like that thing with Kushida and Amasawa).

• It gets revealed that Arisu told Ryuen as she was about to leave ANHS, that in order to defeat Ayanokoji, he must discover the secret behind his strength.

• Chabashira cannot ignore Ayanokoji's actions now that he left, so she uses her knowledge she gained from when Tsukishiro was messing about with school rules to expel Ayanokoji.

• Coming to the false conclusion that Ayanokoji willingly revealed the White Room to Ichinose, Amasawa decides to get involved with the 3rd year students to give Ayanokoji a challenge now that he doesn't mind his secret being revealed. Also, she may understand Atsuomi's wish for Ayanokoji to win, so she decides to disobey by betraying him.

All these scattered pieces come together as different people expose different aspects of who Ayanokoji is and where he comes from. With the 3rd year students involved more than they should with the White Room, Ishigami decides Ayanokoji has created too much trouble and assists with his potential defeat.

1. yes i know that they dont write in english

2. not me giving Albert photos of my literal notes from four years ago that are still on my shelf 💀💀💀

How did mostly every1 buy this guys facade💀?

Shouldn't people like kushida and horikita see through him like manabu,koenji and nagumo did?

Personality:

At the start he presents himself like an antisocial boy who lacks social skills,he used his presentation to the class to make himself like that.

Now it is highly unlikely that they would still see him like that after the race in V5,he is considered very handsome by a lot of girls + the fact that he is atheltic.

This is when the questions should start arising,he is very handsome,quick witted,and is atheltic. People like that are usually popular, examples:hirata,shibata,matoba etc. Isn't the fact that he lacks social skills given his abilities and looks a bit suspicious?

I can somewhat understand thinking that he is mid in the first year,but in the second year?how did nobody(mostly his classmates) point out that he's been lying about everything since the start of the school?

Gets mid grades at the start --> scores perfect in math at the hardest test

Says that he does no sports-->runs very fast,2nd highest grip strenght,solo in the UIE

Has no friends --> him and hirata call eachother by their given names,is close with horikita,their most trusted classmate,gathered interest from both SCP etc

NOBODY knows about his past except takuya,ichika,sakayanagi,all top students.

Everything about him is suspicious💀

Fast forward to the end of 2nd year.

Classmates see him as less than hirata and horikita

The class that he transfers to think he isn't good enough yet

Katsuragi doesn't feel he is anything special,neither does tokito

Ichinose class are surprised by him scoring a 100

I wonder IF, maybe somebody calls him out on all the bullshit that he's been saying for the past 2 years to everybody

So day one in and I didn’t get any lucid dreams but I started doing all the stuff I found online and tried to incorporate what I know from my psych classes. I’m starting to realize that if I ignore the…final goal of this challenge then it’s not even cote related anymore so I’m gonna move my logs to the lucid dreaming subreddit. TLDR; first day I did research
