    I was wondering who would be the first to notice it was not the Nazi swastika after I mentioned it was there. That is what makes it an easter egg, IMO. It is really out of place in that school.[hehe]

    This is perfect. The storyline can go either way! I love ❤ how we have the 4 queens and Salt. I feel they will go first. Then there will be fish to fry. Like the other school.

    Since Miyukii's character was introduced I felt she was aiming for the true queen spot in her school and Sayanee character is in her way. She will definitely backstab her. #SuperJuicyDrama

    Then Sakura and tie school will deal with a huge battle royal. What a smart way to extend the show and add realistic non-fictional drama. Like its literally one gang vs another gang just schools are their headquarters which of course is highly unrealistic lml

    I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SEASON. It is actually my first Majisuka Gauken.

    In my opinion that's impossible. Paruru is the main character. Everything else can change, but that fact will remain no matter what. And as the main character, she will be undefeated until the end.

    Man, I just wish someone like Nana Okada was given Sakura's role instead. :fear: Then just give Sakura a different role or something.

    I just WTF, after they are very easy to change attitudes to help Sakura. look like Ueno just want to make Mako/Naanya get more screentime than take care the story. I dunno, but it just makes them look weird characters lol.

    Now, I also think Otabe is hidden leader of Rapapa.

    What if kobii's the mastermind behind gekioko but she has been using Antonio as her puppet all this time because Antonio's a more feared character in gekioko?

    Ryoka, Juri and that other girl (not Mion, not Rena Kato, the other one)... those 3 are good actresses IMO. Also... I really hope Sayanee is powerful... if all she does is wait and scheme and stand up and stare off in the distance while talking and then get her but kicked as soon as it his her turn to fight I will be seriously disappointed.

    That would be Team B's Uchiyama Natsuki, nickname Nakkii. I like to think of her as Team B's new gen fisher. Her HS reports are stellar. Also known for co-authoring a book on Japan's constitution, aimed at the youth/teen demographic. Hence her in-show character's name.

    I'm quite sure Sayanee will be powerful. Her character's off and a bit like an awkward joke now, but I think once she really starts fighting, she'll be back to being intimidating. I don't know if it's intentional but Antonio is very very awkward though.I was not really expecting too much from her since the start cause she doesn't have confidence in her acting at all. And as much as I like Sayanee, so far, I feel like she's lacking something. She might be able to make up for it once she finally starts fighting though (whenever that is lol). But thanks to my oshi bias, I'm finding awkward Antonio really cute, but I don't know if Antonio is supposed to be cute haha. She could be...since it can easily be used as a gap in character haha.

    I don't think someone who was weak would even dare to attempt to take on Salt. There's that and out of all the girls in the cast, she's physically the strongest anyway, and I bet will be the most convincing fighter, so it'll be odd if she wasn't strong. There's that as well as...as I said in the past, don't forget she's the highest ranking member in the entire cast. It won't be fair to her if they made her end up as some weakling, being one of the top members in the group etc. I definitely think she and Salt are on the same level in terms of their strength/power.

    That being said I think Kobii is just frustrated because if Antonio is reaaally strong, she could probably take down the 4 Queens on her own, or maybe with the help of Kobii, and wouldn't need to wait for Sakura to do the work. Kobii just wants to get out into the action whereas Antonio, I think, wants to ensure that Gekioko will have a higher chance of success in their goal of taking the top. I guess Antonio was to reserve all her energy and be in her full strength in order to face Salt rather than expend it unnecessarily when someone is already doing the work for her. Kobii probably doesn't get that though and wants to be involved in the entire process rather than sitting down and waiting.

    Does anyone else get the feeling paruru is trying to sound like a ghost everytime she talks or is it just me?

    Am I the only one who isn't too concerned about the plot? :p

    Anyway, I wanted to re-watch seasons 1 and 2, but they're disappearing from gozua's Dailymotion account :( Anyone know where else I can find them (with eng-subs?)

    Just finished watching the subs for ep 3, and it supplements my excited feeling for the episode. Couple of things to bring to attention, which may be nothing.

    Guys bored? Guys have free time? Perhaps want to be entertained? Pop a seat, and read:
    1) NEWS TRAVELS FAST: It's been a while since I saw the first 2 seasons (actually need to watch the 3rd one) but how does news travels fast from school to school? At first, it could be an opportunity to reveal a new plot point where someone in School 1 is actually in cohorts with someone in School 2, this could be just conjecture. Though, if possibility, that could be something to exploit cause:

    a) Someone mentioned a ring on Otabe's neck, which may be for decoration, BUT also could be use for plot point. That ring could answer why she 'stepped' down as President from Season 2 to now, perhaps it could answer why she's taking the grade again. Who knows? It's amazing the amount of twists and turns we could do

    b) This could also open the INFERNAL AFFAIRS/THE DEPARTED storyline, where someone in School 2 is implanted in School 1 and someone in School 1 is implanted in School 2. That could explain why information gets brought back to the Nurse School quick, without any reveal as to why. But then that begs the question, who is in School 2 that's implanted in School 1?

    2) My crazy theory?
    Otabe, which her backstory (if revealed in a future episode) could explain a lot of things. Why she came back again (it was alluded she was 'stupid' when Bakamono started talking, though it wasn't explained, which either means that the whole group knows and it's not spoken about, or nobody knows and it's the creed to not be privy into people's story due to the 'chemistry' of the group.

    Also, knowing how some of the character's true events is shaped into the drama (Kawaei as bakamono because of her test scores on Mechaike, Iriyama as Yoga ironically because she rivals Kojima in lack of flexibilty, Owada as Zombie because of her role in Sailor Zombie, etc), it's perfect to use Yokoyama's true life shaped into the drama. How is she related to the Nurse school? She passed the Pharmacy exam (if I recall). Pharmacy. Nurse school. Medical field.

    [​IMG]

    3) The Power of Structure: I noticed some mentioned about how the attitude of the 1st years were....surprising and not understandable. I thought it was perfectly understandable giving this one caveat: the length of the season. If this was, let's say, the length of Game of Thrones or Dragonball Z where it's a long standing series, then I would understand the frustration. However, since there's only 10-12 episodes at about 20 minutes each, the quickness of the change of the attitude is acceptable. Now Why?
    A) The age of the group: Remember, these are 1st year students, Freshman. Like most characters in this archtypes, they are young, brash, and think they are better than everyone else. In other words, they are used to living a life where they can take anything with their power without much resistance. Living such a life, one gets used to it and in turn, you really have no goal except living through it and getting what you want, which leads to:

    B) Lack of a goal: Like most characters in this archtype, they do not have a goal. Without a goal, life is chaotic and unorganized, which is evident when they were first introduced: walking around looking for fights for the hell of it, no goal in these fights except for you're annoying, etc. However, a goal was introduced to them when they were defeated. Now they have structure, a chart follow, a goal, which is like a light to these characters who were wallowing in darkness, which leads to:

    C) Symbiotic Relationship: Yes, these 1st year girls need Sakura, she gives them a goal to achieve. However, Sakura needs these girls as well, even while she doesn't realize it at first. Think of all the sidekicks in movies or literature. Heroes NEED sidekicks, for multiple reasons. One is to better the Hero is not only in their abilities, but also in their goals and motivation. It was evident in episode 3, where Minami mentions how a group is stronger to stand while one who stands alone will fall. It's beautiful.

    Hope you guys enjoyed this read and perhaps one day, you'll see me in the writing cast for MG 5
