    Could Classroom of the Elite’s Experiments Change How We View Competition in Anime?

    If getting blindsided in a mind game feels like falling for a fake magic trick, the latest twist in Classroom of the Elite hits even harder than the class shuffle back in Season 1. Ayanokoji ditching his poker face and actually working with the other classes totally messes with the classic “one versus all” vibe we usually get in these kinds of anime. Meanwhile, Horikita accidentally roasting herself in front of the whole group made the intense mood weirdly hilarious.

    All this scheming might mean anime about competition aren’t gonna lean so heavy on just brute force or old rivalry tropes anymore. Maybe the real experiments are about manipulating trust, not just grades. What if this is a hint that the school itself is less about academics and more about creating the perfect puppet master? I’m kinda on edge to see how deep this rabbit hole goes—like watching a chess match where you realize it’s actually a maze. Anyone else got wild theories or favorite mind game moments from this arc?
