I wasn't expecting the new season to kick off right when the last one ended with everything blowing up and the entire cast doing some random sendoff until the new season...and then the school is back like nothing ever happened. Good thing someone clicked "Yes" to continue :heh:.

Iino and Ishigami still get along like cats and dogs, but Iino not plugging her headphones in correctly leaves Ishigami to hear her deep, intimate, study sounds...which start off normally with pleasant forest sounds before dovetailing into a camel's bellowing which shows Iino's weird tastes and then goes into hot guy pep talks as Yuichiro Umehara (?) and Souma Saito (?) tell Iino how great she is. It's kind of sad yet oddly relatable at the same time :p.

Ishigami is a good guy and wants to protect Iino's dignity when the rest of the Student Council show up at the worst time, so he gets Fujiwara's love detective nose sniffing and lets everybody hear him listening to a cutesy J-Pop song so Iino can get a clue...but she doesn't, so everybody hears her Ikemene motivational speeches. Luckily everybody goes home and pretends it never happened :nod:.

Kaguya has a cellphone and is finally on LINE, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that she just stares at her chat window with Shirogane for hours and acting like a coy girl playing with the guy she likes by not immediately responding back to him...only, Kaguya, not understanding the concept or Read Receipts, doesn't realize the predicament she's left Shirogane in of being desperate to hear back from her knowing she read her texts. And poor Hayasaka has to try to cover for her mistresses' issue with technology lying as easily as she breathes in true Hayasaka fashion. I love how they show Hayasaka and Fujiawara both doing it in the same exact outfit :p.

Kei cameo as she stretches and observes her brother making a fool of himself waiting for the girl he likes to text back ;).

Poor Iino...she thinks Kaguya doesn't like her because she didn't text back. Poor Fujiawara...Kaguya thinks she's too much of a pain to text back. Poor Ishigami...no one gets what he's saying about how awesome Discord is :uhoh:.

Kaguya finally getting a clue and making Hasaca tell Shirogane that her texts get screened so she can save face is...so Kaguya. Poor Shirogane now has to think all his texts to her are seen by other people :upset:.

The usual Fujiawara and Ishigami tiff ends in a contest to prove who is the strongest of the Student Council in an arm wrestling contest, so it's time to see of the boys and girls who is the true muscle maniac :cool:.

Fujiawara vs Iino! Where poor Iino loses and gets to be the enthusiastic referee! Kaguya vs Ishigami! Where Kaguya demonstrates her amazing grip strength as a leftie! Shirogane vs Fujiawara! Where Fujiwara is, unsurprisingly, cheating to save face! And Kaguya vs Shirogane, where an epic arm-wrestling match is in reality two teenagers enjoying holding hands up until one realizes she's about to sweat on her crush and spectacularly wins :blush:.

Kaguya just wanted to hold the President's hand, not become the Muscle Queen or Princess Muscle. It's not easy being a main character sometimes :twitch:.

I love how Ishigami got to have a revenge match and beat Fujiwara. Justice for Ishigami :D.

The new Opening! And it's as crazy and fun as a Kaguya-sama Opening should be, showing off the craziness of the student council, the supporting cast, and Kaguya running to Shirogane across many different environments (8-bit Kaguya!). And just when it looks like Kaguya and Shirogane are about to confess to each other...the student council of course goes back to being the student council :innocent:.
