Zool basically bunch of edgy kids trying to act cool

Even if you say that, you can’t deny that their live was more fire than any live up until now (for me at least)

Personally I liked TRIGGER'S better

Yes, Sayali-san you are correct

True

It sucks how well everything is going for Ryou and Tsukumo Pro and it's unfortunate that Yamato and Tenn weren't able to do anything about Sumire, she's completely under the playboy of Zool's spell. Yaotome wasn't kidding when he said he was the real deal to Ryuunosuke.

Tsukumo Pro has way too much info on them all, it's probably how Ryou was able to get the media and whatnot on their side so easily, especially because he's been working on it for a while.

It sucks that this new group also has bad personalities themselves, I don't think Trigger nor Re:Vale had such an impression when they were first introduced, they really are living to the Poisonous Gangster title. I really like Tenn's reaction to hearing how Isumi referred the fans, he was really pissed off and they're definitely polar opposites in that regard.

I hope Part 2 of Third Beat will come soon, it sucks to be left hanging like this when things aren't great for the three main groups. I'm sure Part 2 will be harder to watch since there will be a lot more focus on Zool as they have debuted and will probably dominate the charts and popularity for the time being.

When Yamato disappointedly told Sumire what an easy woman she has become, I felt that. Honestly, if only she could see the light, they would find a way into breaking this up quickly. I hope Tenn's words reach her. (Aside - super proud of Yamato keeping his cool when she brought up his dad. Way to go, dear! You're slowly healing. On the other hand, I felt bad for Gaku...)
I wonder when people will realize that Ryo is heading the new Chiba Salon, not Ryuu...? He's basically controlling the whole industry.

Chiba Salon, according to President Yaotome and Momo's conversation is some kind of labour union but for show business people (though it eventually became corrupt). Ryo can't be the head of the new Chiba Salon bc he's exactly the kind of person the Chiba Salon is against LMAO (president of a large corporation dominating the industry).

Meaning part 2 would be S4 maybe.

no, it would still be season 3 (third beat), they did the same as attack on titan's season 3 which is split into two parts ^^

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I don't understand how anyone was looking forward to these clowns. >:|

"It's like there are four Kujo Tenn's on stage!" Uhh... did you ever even WATCH a performance by TRIGGER? -__-;

When Isumi kept calling the fans "dumb", I was very annoyed...but he kind of has a point, lol.
Weirdly enough, as I was typing this - notice how this is a great parallel to the reality of consumerism. We let ourselves get swept away by the culture - ads, celebrities, popular things, "not popular" things, uniqueness/hipster culture - which all have some psychological trickery in it.

Because most of us are source material readers and they are great antagonists with amazing redemption arcs later on!

As not having read source material, I look forward to it! (I even almost wish they have a good Redemption Arc for Ryo, but I can tell from comments that there won't be... :/ )

imo not every character needs a redemption arc and Ryo is brilliant as he is.

I respect that. Maybe what I want to see is other sides to him and his past; feels too 1D. He did talk about how annoyed he felt about his family treating him, but didn't go too much into it. Maybe more of that?

i love zool and their ego and cockiness because im the exact same way idolish7 feels like snowflakes trigger are just their freinds it feels like i also love revale but zool is something this show needed

because they're cool, fun and shine a different light as idols than the rest, not everyone has to only like snowflake "friendship and happiness!" type characters. i prefer villains, especially ones that do shit for the sake of doing shit. i came for zool and i'm staying for them <3

this episode pissed me off so much
i admit ZooL songs are my favourite in this anime (like bang bang bang and zone of overlap) but i still dont like them, i could say i hate them for now, i hope they would change (like character development)

Hi! they get SO much character development its insane. I'm praying that it hits as hard as it did when I read it. Buttt they defo get worse before they get better. Just hold out for them <3

I really despise that Tsukomo! ZOOL has begun taking over Japan like a storm.
Looking forward to the next part coming out next year.

Next year :(

I have nvr hated a group of people this much before....... it seems zool membersand tsukumo ryou are an exception

[Spoiler Alert]

Honestly, ZOOL's dynamics is just like one Papa, one Mama, and two spoiled brats. Even if they're bitches in Part 3, you can't help but grow to like them in Part 4. Loved them in the 4th anniversary extras too. IMO, they're the group closest to our reality - Just kids who got hurt too many times and learnt to shrink back and abandon before they can be abandoned.

Also, the animators did a good job of selling this song to me. LOLs to Minami and Tora being backstage dancers!

More like big brother Touma and 3 spoiled brats LMAO, and Haruka the baby brother they all dote on

Woah, Touma the tearful is the big bro in this quartet, not Torao? Looking forward to seeing that, lol.

I'll start off by saying Tsukumo was foul for telling Gaku that.

I've been waiting for ZOOL's performance~

Also the amount of times Riku slipped up and called Tenn 'Tenn-nii' and still NO ONE has recognised that they're brothers, it's just hilarious.

LMAOOO when Haruka ran off (16:07)

What a way to end the episode, can't wait for part two and ZOOL's character development

I have a headcanon that the fans just think it's super cute that Riku thinks of Tenn as an older brother, or someone he really looks up to. So no one notices that it's actually true because they shove the thought to the back of their mind distracted by how cute Riku is due to his allure or something like that.

i really liked this episode every one in the comments are saying 'this was my least favourite episode' but for me i really loved it i mean i didnt really enjoy the way ryou kept talking sh** about gaku's personal life and the stuff he said to mitsuki or how isumi kept insulting the fans but he was true and he was right sadly enough but i do enjoy how real he is but i also disliked how he was taking out his rage on tenn tenn when it was kujo who hurt him it was abit idiotic as much as i like zool so far they wont be able to take triggers place in my heart or the other groups :] i cant wait for the next season tho to see what more troubles they cause !!!

The introduction of the ZOOL is actually badass, be them evil or not

as a ryozool stan, my heart is aching reading the hate comments about them, though i can't blame you.

let's look forward to the 2nd part!

Saaaame! But i think they became my favorites toward the end of part 3 and in part 4!

IM EXCITED FOR SEASON 4 ZONE OF OVERLAP!!!!

The chick seriously reminds me of Light's Misa for some reason

"there is no idol, only ZOOL" #ghostbusters #throwback

this is so far my least favorite episode just because ryo and zool got too much screen time.. tbh i already followed the game, so i know there'll be some character development here (not ryo obviously that guy's rotten to the core) but still i don't like zool, i can't ever like or forgive them on what they and ryo going to do with trigger (yup, am a salty as biss)

and too bad i also hate that curryx3 song (lol, idk why i hear curry instead of "got it")

p.s. my only healing part is riku's and tenn's appearance on screen, and can't wait for part 2!

It was great to see the twins!

Lol why did these idols (i7+trigger) think they could fix the scandal by themselves. We got a female singer appearing here but she's dumb. I don't like how Nagi and Mitsu say things like "oh no she's a girl I don't wanna hurt her" even though they know she's at fault here? Come on now, it's 21st century

10000% agree, She also has to be punished.

I thought they're going to release a statement with nagi as witness. I didn't expect them to go to tsukumo. Like what do they expect from that? 😂

As much I hate their personalities rn, the show really needed a group like zool. The show is pretty realistic about the music industry so rival groups that hate each other are needed since everyone being buddy-buddy is kinda rare (even if zool does get redemption arcs in the end). Plus their songs are so different from the other 3 that it's refreshing

ZOOL members might be trash, but their VAs definitely can sing. :)

YESSSSS! Fav group has finally entered the fray! As someone who's played the entire game so far, they've became my least fav to ultimate fav group of characters. I cant wait for S3 part 2 and S4 to drop! For me personally, ZOOL is the only group where i love every one of their songs.

we need some dark songs for our idolish7 boys xD their songs are too happy need something like this one xD

IM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT PART OMG

Zool's song is actually pretty good. 😅
Though trigger's ed song this season is still my fave.

I am also sure that Tsukumo will fall and shall perish by the next season!This is also a ficitional series please dont make a fan group for this especially Nan Demo Nai and A Wayfarer

I think that TRIGGER is going to rise again no matter what after falling no person would rise again but TRIGGER is something, In the next season they are going to show that TRIGGER will rise again you know what they say New mystery uncovers an new season will start!

Wait what, I reached the end?????

Way to end a season...
Tbh ZOol is annoying but those kids feel like naive brats being dragged into this with a disguise of gold and glitter of being popular. to Ryou they are just pawns deluded....
I want to see them fall and then i myt like them XD

Buttt i felt bad for Gakuuuu toooo muchhhh... where Yamato did an amazing job of keeping himself under control i think its mainly cuz he got some closure about his past, but damn I wanted him to comfort Gaku TT
