Talk:Episode 10/@comment-27.74.246.71-20170914044233

I understand where all of these "deviating from the LN" are stemming from but to say this episode follow that same pattern is an understatement. For those who don't know, the pantsu thief incident is a plot from the LN, not an anime original.

Anyway, concerning the thief, here are some suspects I found based on clues given in the episode:

Mio Ibuki: The most obvious suspect due to her being in C-Class.


 * Her bruise from day 1 is nowhere to be seen on day 2, which suggests either a fake bruise or an animation error since bruise doesn't usually heal that fast, though I would like to stick with the former.


 * Ryuen is also vicious so he might have ulterior moves to sabotage both B and D even when they left the island, regardless of Mio's and the other C-Class refugee guy's will. I, however, would like to be indifferent to this since this is 'too good to be true'.


 * Kiyotaka's cautious attitude towards her during their first encounter on the island also makes this speculation worth a shot.

Kanji Ike: Okay, the guy who doesn't seem like it could be the one who did it. But again, who am I to judge.

Kikyou Kushida: Before I begin, in the light novel, she plots with C-Class against her own  so this speculation isn't far-fetched.


 * She is a girl, which means she could sneak in and out of the girl's tent (she doesn't need to) and stole the pantsu.


 * There's a scene where someone took something from Mio's bag, a communicating device perhaps, and the culprit is likely Kikyou (to communicate with C-Class).


 * She is popular and considered reliable within her own class, so asking Kanji for his bag and sliding the 'item' in is possible. However, Kanji secretly (and almost pervertedly) idolizes her so he wouldn't forget his interaction with her.

Yousuke Hirata: They say "it's always the one you least suspect". He's Kei's 'boyfriend' so he may have the need of 'pantsu' and ... the sacred item is currently in his possession. But wait, he could just simply ask her for it without going through all that trouble. But then again, this is just my intuition.

If anyone has something to say, I'd like to hear your opinion too.
