What a noticed in the ninth episode is that they inserted a flashback back from when Nanamine was just a child with no friends before discovering Ashirogi Muto's Money and Intelligence.

The inclusion of that flashback is a clever one, because it meaningfully depicts the starting point as to when, how, and why Nanamine turned into a bad apple, and his obsession with Ashirogi Muto to get surpassed via the power of money.

For the more astute viewers who have happened the read all the manga way before, that flashback scene actually came from a late manga chapter than those used to get the season 3 ninth episode adapted.

Season 3 episode nine mostly got adapted from chapters 119 and 120 from the manga. I won't say from which manga chapter comes the Nanamine's childhood flashback, since it would be spoiler.

But, from what I can tell there's now the possibility that the producers and animation staff won't be adapting up to the very end of the manga for this season.
