Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Episode 6 Brief Recap

There have been multiple noteworthy developments in Season 4 Episode 6. All of it is building up the tension for the Deserted Island Survival Test arc. Koenji’s asking for Ayanokoji’s cooperation came out of nowhere. However, Ayanokoji rejects his proposal right away. And it is not just him; every other student, even from other classes, is trying to get Ayanokoji onto their teams.

Class 2-B’s Ishizaki personally requests Ayanokoji to join them, but Ayanokoji rejects him as well, stating that Ryuen must also be part of the team for him to reconsider. Ayanokoji is now waiting for more time to pass before making a decision.

Amidst all of this, there is also the situation involving Ike. If Komiya becomes Shinohara’s boyfriend during the special test, Ike might lose everything, as he has a crush on Shinohara. So, Ayanokoji seeks help from Horikita, and she agrees to see how much she can manage the situation.

However, the most unexpected turn of events comes when Sakayanagi invites Ichinose to bring Class 2-C onto her side. Ichinose, on the other hand, sees through Sakayanagi’s intentions and negotiates for more safety points. In the end, the two form an alliance, which will certainly shake things up in the next episode.

What to Expect in Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Episode 7?

Since there is not much time left before the Deserted Island Survival Test arc kicks in, the focus will, of course, remain on the politics between students from each class and their class leaders. We might even expect more involvement from the Year 1 students in Episode 7, as they could also be part of the test, even if they participate separately.

However, what you should keep an eye on the most is the newly formed alliance between Sakayanagi and Ichinose. Once it becomes public, it will be interesting to see the reaction of Class B and Class D students. Episode 7 may also imply that Ayanokoji could be behind all of this. After all, he wanted to see Ichinose’s individual growth during the ongoing year.
