That was an amazing fight scene. Great to see all these characters let out their true colors. Now Ryuji is officially in a harem lol.

Overhearing things is a good way of moving forward considering it seemed like none of the group would ever speak plainly to each other about their feelings. Happy for the progress between Ryuuji and Taiga but still concerned about Minori and Ami. Ami has everyone else pretty much figured out, but not herself. Minori is sticking with the decision she made at Christmas, but really deserves to still be with people who care about her next year when the classes change

What the heck was that. How did I hate this episode years ago?! This episode was great! It played out the dynamic of the group very well, and it brought everything that’s been simmering to a boil. @mushrlight34 nailed what this episode was going for and depicted on page 3.

I’m really happy with how that played out. With this episode out of the way I now I have no doubt that my mind will remain firm that Toradora! is a great series; remembering tiny bits of these last dramatic parts was the only hesitation I had left.

Looking forward to the final arc.

Good episode. In my opinion, this catfight was fun while the episode was very good. My only issue is how no one could find Taiga until the end, I mean, that was pretty bullshit. Is everyone's an idiot? (except Ryuuji, ofc) Taiga's confession was the best part. It seems that Ami fought Kushieda for Ryuuji's sake

Can't stand Kihara. She and Haruta are annoying.

Yea it was pretty odd how no one could find/see Taiga run away in broad daylight and see the fence was pushed down, its a cartoon but heh sillier things have happened.

Otherwise the episode was good, I just feel that at this point Ami and Minori have given up, that's why they won't confess so they try and fight their feelings away, because they know if they do confess, Ryuji will just reject them for Taija.

That's why Ami these past episodes was always trying to jam it into Ryujis head to see what he really wants from Taiga ( Ami is basically saying what we are all thinking, the love between Ryuji and Taiga is that of playing house, Ryuji is the dad, Taiga is the child ), but Ryuji is just to blind to see.

That's why Minori won't say anything either, she seen them from the start of the school year again hang out daily, and she seen the pool scene, even if they do ever go out, it won't be true love as Ryuji will still always be thinking about Taiga.

And even when Ryuji was alone with them, it was still the same thing, they ALWAYS kept talking about Taiga because that's the only thing Ryuji wants to talk about, now when he talks with Taiga things are different.

They already tried their parts, but as Episode 1 to now has shown us, TaigaXRyuji are unbreaking, nobody can get through them, or through Ryuji for that instance.

I can understand Ami somehow, Minori really has gotten kinda annoying with her fake happy-go personality she's always putting on. She can't even reject someone properly, but instead leaves Ryuuji hanging somewhere between rejection and possible relationship.

I rly feel sorry for Kihara... the boys Noto and Yuusaku are really dumb.. sometimes anime male characters are made this way but in this anime it just doesnt match.. I mean that sometimes this anime is all clever and very deep and sometimes... meh... silly like this...
same goes for Minori... that facepalm of Ryuji when they talk after Noto and Kihara argument should make it all clear... she is dumb
and Taiga? wtf is wrong with her she loves this Yuusaku, but at the same time sometimes realizes she feels something towards Ryuji? wtf? It is just that he is first male person nice to her anyway
also normally in this situation someone realizes that she lost someone dear after it is too late or almost too late and then it is a drama... but not so many times during life and never doing anything about it... She has to decide Yuu or Ryuji?!

I think rly best pair would be Ryuji and Ami, both are mature both understand many situation, Ryu just doesn't seem to notice Ami or Taiga as love target he is blinded by this child Minori...

and that ending?! really hopeless.. I mean it was possible from the start but it is very bad... they just do not match as a pair, they should be and would be best friends there was no love between them ever... just sympathy and habit of being together...
totally out of moon change in the story...
if this ends like that I downvote this...
this anime is rollercoaster from being funny to being boring then to being very deep and great and now making no sense because author cant figure out the ending? and that fake drama at the end Taiga runs for stupid clip that fell few centimetres away and next to barricade (even if anime made it wrong it could not get dropped far, unless someone threw it with all might on purpose) and she gets lost so far away that no one can find her, but then 3 kids find her right away... total bs...
my score goes from rate 7 to rate 6 then to rate 8 or maybe 9 and now back to 7...

Dang! This whole episode was intense x_x

Ami was being a jerk to Minori by pushing with her luck. What gives? X(

Taiga's lucky to have Ryuuji by her side and little does she know it's actually Him carrying her X) Nice!

Ami wants people to be honest. She’s efficient but ruthless. But thing is, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. She always pisses people off whoch backfires. And she isn’t even honest herself!

Its was a great episode the anger just flowed in 1st with Noto & Maya then Ami & Kitamura & Kushida & Ami I was hoping Kushida did more damage on Ami (I hate her with a passion) but at least this one lasted more than Taiga & Kanou but of course the confession was...wow I was lost for words I'll watch the last episodes tomarrow no doubt this series is my favorite, Ryuuji is my fav man but who would he be better with hmmm...

Re-watching and I forgot how much I loved this show. The emotions were so high in this episode. I honestly love how Ami's character pushes development from everyone else through her snarkiness. She wore a mask for a long time so it makes sense that she hates when people aren't genuine.

Okay, when I thought they couldn't make Taiga-the-tragic-figure more exaggerated, they decided to do that. We get it, she's selfless, she's alone (that's absolutely not the case but okay), she's NEVER been a bully, of course not, that didn't happen, that was all a dream...
And she is the most popular character ? Talk about overrated (and I don't use that word often, I dislike it).
Plus, I don't see how she could have disappeared in one minute, and also why she went into the forest. There's no way the others wouldn't have noticed her, and there's no way the barrette would have landed so far away.

But for the rest, I like this episode because it focused on Minori and Ami who just proved that they are the best characters in this show. I was starting to lose interest in Ami because it seemed like they stopped giving her development and just sidelined her without even giving her a proper conclusion, but looks like I was wrong. This episode did a great job at developing her.
And Minori... When I think about how she annoyed me at first, and now she might be my favorite. She's a very well-written character whose emotions feel real.
And neither Ami nor her make me feel like the drama surrounding them is forced, which is very refreshing. Too bad Taiga is the main girl, I really would've preferred one of the other two.

Taiga doesn't know how to ski, Everyone's getting emotional suddenly what's up with this field trip

The boys almost got in trouble and went in a closet and then dragged along Taiga honestly they didn't expect this to happen whatsoever and Ami and Kushieda got into a disagreement and they witnessed it all

That fight was actually nuts gladly they stopped but Taiga got lost in the process by finding that pin Kushieda wore, But have no fear Ryuuji is here to save Taiga and luckily he found her and things went into an indirect confession I did not expect that happening as well.

god damn Kushieda wanted that smoke, frankly wanted to see her get more hits on Ami’s bitch ass

on a separate note Taiga definitely should be dead, frost bite sets in less than 15 minutes with only slight wind; in a blizzard she would become a popsicle in half that time

Rewatching every year... I can't get enough of this masterpiece. Minorin and Ami are my favorites, I can't agree with just one of these girls. Both were wrong and right, simultaneously (though Minori is the most special to me...)
Reading the Light Novel was the best thing I did to understand even more the feelings of each character (Also, they skipped some interesting scenes of Ryuuji and Minorin, existing in LN :(
There are no defects in this anime, 10000/10 forever.

So... the convo revealed that Minorin does like ryuji in a way that she won't admit cause of taiga, but now taiga confessed pretty much so now its a fucking mess lolz.

This episode was crazy and I loved it

We got to see a lot of plot points bubble up to the surface and I'm ready to see how things shape up in the end.
And I'm not a Minori-stan or anything, but Ami is horribly immature. She completely bullied Minori the entire trip in an effort to get her to confess something she didn't want to. I'm not saying it was right for Minori to keep her feelings secret or anything, but it was none of Ami's business and I was glad that Kihara and Nanako sort of called her out on it.

Another tense episode with Ami and Kushieda clashing and Taiga going missing suddenly. Her thinking it was Kitamura who saved her, and then confess to him that she likes Ryuji was unexpected, but better than if she had recognized Ryuji and confess to him because he came to save her. This has more impact.
