Classroom Of The Elite “Every Failure Is a Step to Success” Review
Classroom Of The Elite “Every Failure Is a Step to Success” is the fifth episode from the second season of the Classroom Of The Elite anime. After Kiyotaka’s suggestion at the end of episode 4 Kiyotaka and Suzune speculate that Kikyo is betraying the class because she’s receiving private points from other classes. The three of them go surveilling Team White, much to Kikyo’s chagrin that Suzune’s present; Suzune blatantly asks if Kikyo did sell her VIP information, to which Kikyo denies and asks to trust her. The Sports Festival begins. Ken Sudo motivates Class-D, while Arisu Sakayanagi of Class-A observes the Festival. When Koenji drops out, Sudo lowers the class morale. Team Red loses the “Topple the Pole” event when Ryuen beats down Sudo; things get worse when Suzune gets injured after colliding with Class-C’s Saki Kinoshita. After failing to convince Koenji to rejoin, Suzune wishes that she had Kikyo’s natural charisma and admits she liked her at some point. Team White continues targeting Sudo and Suzune, continuing to lower the Class-D morale. Kei and Kiyotaka believe that the Class-D traitor leaked the participation list to Ryuen to target Sudo and Suzune. Kiyotaka continues that he never wanted the class to win the Festival and that doing nothing is best for now. Sudo is enraged at being targeted, so much so that he punches Hirata and then leaves, drastically lowering class morale. Kiyotaka tells Suzune to be useful to convince Sudo to rejoin and use him as her personal “weapon,” just as she is for Kiyotaka. During a short break, Kei and Hirata ask Kiyotaka who the traitor to which he doesn’t answer and bluffs that it was Suzune’s idea to submit the leaked list. Kikyo takes Suzune to the medical office, where Ryuen is waiting. He believes that Suzune injured Saki on purpose and demands 1 million private points or he will tell the school of the incident; Suzune thinks it’s a bluff, but Ryuen demands the points and for Suzune to submit to him, to which he’ll wait for her answer at the end of the festival. After seeing her brother in the hallway, Suzune implores that she knows her incompetence and won’t trouble him anymore. She affirms that she has one last thing to do for the festival.
