Classroom of the Elite S3 - Episode 8

In this episode, Suzune takes the lead of her class. She identifies Yamauchi Haruki as the least valuable member and exposes his plan to expel Ayanokouji. Yamauchi, who tries to shift the blame to Ike and then to Kushida, faces fierce opposition from Yousuke, who expresses his disapproval of Suzune's approach.

Chabashira-sensei points out that such tough decisions are part of the leadership training at the school. In Class D, Manabe Shiho mocks Ibuki Mio over the possibility of Ryuuen being expelled. Ibuki meets with Ryuuen, who offers her his personal points. Ryuuen's physical intimidation of Ibuki ends without conflict.

Honami contacts President Nagumo to discuss a deal but does not commit to it immediately. During the announcement of the voting results, Yamauchi, who had expected support from Class A, is expelled after receiving the most opposing votes. His reaction leads to a confrontation with Kouenji, which is interrupted by Chabashira.

In the other classes, Manabe Shiho is expelled from Class D, while there are no expulsions in Classes A and B. Honami does not make a deal with Nagumo but instead collaborates with Ayanokouji to broker a mutually beneficial agreement to save Ryuuen, involving an exchange of personal points.

The episode ends with Ayanokouji being praised for devising the plan, and Sakayanagi from Class A extends her hand to Ayanokouji.
