| The bombshell that Shirogane would be studying overseas at Stanford, this is his last and final culture festival. Of course, Hayasaka likes to put ideas into Kaguya's head, but this case is for real, and if Kaguya missed this chance, there wouldn't be another. It's time to confess, the Ultra Romantic way, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK. Even to the point of being a visualization game and the English topical 5W1H, practicing the confession for that special someone is as how Hayasaka does, done with heart. Nice to see Tsubame and Ishigami, and even after all that accusation of the latter, he doesn't show his feelings outright and can get flustered, so someone like Tsubame is easily a good fit for him that he is experiencing something new, but still goes off base for Tsubame to work her innings out. It's only after giving the cookie then he realized the true gravity of his actions. The end of the culture festival with the bonfire and dragon's ball, this is a case of love and thievery for Kaguya and Chika, and through the cryptic messages that are deciphered one after another, Kaguya is ready to issue her confession...with a canned coffee and trinkle heart, but going missing??? Love Is War! This has always been the game between Kaguya and Shirogane for the past 3 seasons, and it has all culminated to this moment. The phantom thief Arsene and the damsel in romantic distress, their talk upon Shuchiin Academy's clock tower and the present of love, delved from Shirogane's Ultra Romantic campaign that's all planned to perfection. The heart balloons that all fleet towards the clock tower, it's clear that Shirogane wants to make this confession work, regardless of the results. It's ridiculous work, but it's all worth it just to migrate to Stanford and live their life together. I'm sorry Maki, I understand how it means to be alone on the wayside. And Iino's so dedicated to her work, she forgot about having fun, and lucky for her, Ishigami gave that entertainment to her. It's damn impressive to have Season 1's ED come back as Kaguya gave the one thing that she can give to him: the eventual kiss of feeling pents up in the heart for this long. It's an amazing kiss that manga readers and anime-onlies have been waiting like forever! I'm sorry Kaguya, a kiss doesn't mean that you're on fire correctly, but at least it's a confession game that rewards everyone up to this point. A-1 Pictures truly delivered, BIG TIME! The finale episode is easily the ultimatum, the masterpiece resolution episode out of the entire 3 seasons. |
 |
| Speechless. Totally Speechless. A1 Pictures literally gave us one hour of Peak Fiction and it worked. Ultra Romantic Indeed!!! 10/10 |
 |
Goated episode, A1 did it better than the manga, the OST on the kiss scene was so PERFECT. The season overrall is a solid 9, probably the best until now. Please announce a season 4! |
  SEIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA |
| Well... what can I say? That was AMAZING! That was like a movie. I expected a simple dramatic "I love you", but that was much more than that. Ishigami and Tsubame's story hasn't ended yet, but that's fine. A great "mystery" was solved by Chika and company, and if I saw what Karen saw with the telescope, I'd probably be seeing God too. This is a MASTERPIECE, I will not accept anything different. I love this show so much and I'm glad it's not over. Sasuga A-1 Pictures! For some reason, my room is drenched. I'll be mopping that up while I wait for the next season... |
Dammm....dammmmm was waiting for this to happen for as long as 3 year's..... finally they kissed each other!!!!! no words man..... The Ending tho .....<3  |
 |
| This 50-min end, made me realize how tired I was from Shinomiya, and Shirogane roundabout shenanigans. On other hand realize that I just watched this, for Fujiwara, Ishigami and Miko. |
 |
| Finally, just perfect |
 |
| man, what a guy. miyuki is the sweetest, i can only wish for my other half to be even half as thoughtful as him. he planned all that for her, that was so romanticβ‘ wish we saw more of that kiss tho i mean what did we even see it was like 99% covered lol ALSO ISHIGAMI AND IINO SCENE SO SWEETγ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ ISHIGAMI AND MIYUKI WOULD MAKE GREAT BOYFRIENDS my girl chika kinda took a back seat this season & she seemed to be left out since there was a tonal shift & with where the plot & characters are heading, i would love to see more character development for chika too, i love that shes her own person & just does her own thing, i wish there was more space for her when it comes to character depth & that shes not just reduced to being there for the comedy/meme, i'm anime-only so i dont know what they'll do with her, i'm just bummed we saw less & less of her this season, she's a huge reason why i enjoyed the past few seasons so much. i love chika, what can i say~ |
 κ€ but iβll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there β the day we all searched for just one thing κ€ |
| Hands down BEST romcom ever. And easily he best confession of all time. |
| Idk if this is the best anime episode ever created but it's certainly up there among the best. Especially in romcoms. This hour-long special exceeded all of my expectations. Not exaggerating. After 3 seasons they finally confessed. And it was glorious. This whole season feels like a step up from the last 2 seasons. Was the animation in Kaguya-sama always this good? I guess I'll need to rewatch the last 2 seasons. From the clips I've seen they seem to have a very good dub so that's a good reason to revisit this anime. I never thought I'd enjoy this anime this much back when I started watching it for the first time in 2020. It feels so long ago now. The wait was worth it. I hope the wait for the next seasons will also be worth it. And I also can't wait for the "Oshi no Ko" anime. I hope it'll get a fantastic animation like Kaguya-sama too. |
| peak fiction but i dont like balons anymore! |
 |
| God Damn, I never expected Shirogane's confession to be so grand. Totally ELEGANT!!!! |
  Must love Moe! Darkness prevails!! Slice of Life is all we need! |
| Great finale, I'm so glad that they're together! Kinda have mixed feelings on the fact that nobody confessed (with words at least lol) Sadly I felt that most of the previous episodes were weak compared to the usual kaguya standard... Glad that we reached this point though. Shirogane's plan is so fucking chad, BRAVO |

| That episode was probably the best episode in the whole series I'm super sad now I have no love is war on my fridays now :((( You will be missed very much so but that was an easy 10/10 season like all the seasons |
 |
| Great finish :) But not for the first time, I cry about the end of quality fansub translations in exchange for Crunchysub ones. Kaguya watching Tsubame and Ishigami getting along. "Mataku urayamashii wa" Crunchysubs: "Truly, I resent them for that". (For what?! Why would she resent them? Makes no sense whatsoever) Correct translation: "Sheesh, I really envy them". This is such a basic mistake that I wonder who the hell is proofing the subs. And these kinds of inaccuracies happen way too often for my taste. It really distracts me from the show. |

| Dual confession episode and it delivers. With great build up and OST, it elevates the scenes so much. I liked the camera panning when the ballons floating in the air to clock tower then to the starry sky. The direction choices are great too. The staff give their best for this finale. Then Shirogane and Kaguya kissed that symbolized their feeling of love to each other. And Shirogane offer to Kaguya that he invites her to study with him at Stanford. And for him thats his way of confessing which is a chad move. So Kaguya with permission confessed her feelings too by kissing Shirogane which is sweet. And they are in relationship at the end. Overall great season of Kaguya sama S3. And it concluded it beautifully |
 |
| Ah well all that extra balloon action and Kaguya closing in on Miyuki in slow motion kind of ruined the momentum for me, would prefer if it was like in the manga Also yet again A1 just skips parts I want to see animated I wonder how all the anime only watchers will react to Ice Kaguya arc next season, get ready for Ghost Banri ptsd lol  |
 |
| Since it has seperate episodes and the OP played twice this isn't a 40min episode. it's just two episode released at the same time. but no one really gives a sht about that. This is probably one of the best confession I've ever seen, this is peak fr. It's a bit of a shame that I knew everything that's gonna happen because I read the manga. but it still feels just as good. I am honestly fine with it ending here. slightly worried for another season I don't think that it will do as well as this season because this is pretty much climax. But there are still scenes that I want to get adapted. like the chibi kaguya, I can't say anything else besides that to avoid spoilers. |
| I watched it in the wrong order :( When I went to watch it I watched part 2 before part 1 but It did not ruin it for me. I just watched part 1 then rewatched part 2. ok time for my review. 10000000000000000000/10 episode! This episode is one I have been waiting for for sooooooo long. I had a amazing experience since I rewatched the whole show during the week while waiting for this episode. The animation was amazing this episode and many things looked really stunning. The music was amazing!! I love the use of the first ED by Halca (my personal favourite ED from the show) it was amazing to hear it again! The music was really done well and it made scenes even more emotional. Okay now to the scene I have been waiting to talk about which is the kiss scene. This scene was one of the best if not THE BEST confession/kiss in all romance anime I've seen. I love the buildup to it and I love how amazing Shirogane was when he was on the tower. Playing Sentimental Crisis while leading up to the kiss was perfect. I loved when they showed the flashbacks to all the previous seasons, it really made me tear up. When they finally kissed I cried with happiness. This was the best episode of the whole show and I can't wait for another season. Damn people were not lying Kaguya sama is a Masterpiece! |
 |
| LMAO the PUTAIN!!!! ππ Otherwise, the declaration is a POWER!! IT'S ULTRA ROMANTIC!! For me, it's the best episode of all seasons! ππ |
| this was a fantastic final I enjoyed this season a lot when I watched s1 and s2 I thought this was way too overhyped but now after watching s3 I believe it deserves all of it a1 smashed it with the animation cant wait for the next season |
 |
| they left s*x talk part between kaguya and hayasaka it was one of the hilarious conversation of kaguya-sama manga and it teaches us that avoid first kiss as french kissπ....hoping that they will recreate it and adapt that part in season 4.. so question to the manga readers what happens in 4 second after french kiss??π |

| Absolutely incredible episode, the whole season is an easy 10/10 |
| YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS |
Elyshion said: LMAO the PUTAIN!!!! ππ I laughed so hard at that line, so good |
| I'm totally satisfied and overjoyed with this peak fiction! Perfect 10/10 episode and season. |
 |
| Omg, the balloon scene is just so beautiful!!! And it made me cry, such a fantastic ending~ Didn't expect Shirogane to ask her to come to Stanford with her. |
 |
| So this aired as an hour in Japan huh? But both episodes had the opening and ending themes which leads me to believe this should probably be listed as 13 episodes on MAL but...I dunno. Well I'll treat this as the final episode and give my thoughts here either way: Ah yes, the apex of the plot to this point arrives at last. It's a good feeling, but also a bittersweet one. All throughout this season, another very strong one like the others, I knew it would be coming. But it's what's next that concerns me. I started reading Kaguya before it made the switch to a weekly publication, but shortly after this arc ended I put it on hold, fearing what might be coming next would be a downgrade in quality. Sadly, many of the comments I've read since would seem to indicate that is the case. And so with the announcement of another series today I'm left wondering if I shouldn't just end my Kaguya journey here, happy and satisfied with this strong 8/10 level series. I can't say for sure right now either way, but I guess we'll see, someday evetually. |
| This series. I can't even figure out where to begin with this. I've never watched an anime before that completely overtook me and made me drop everything I'm doing the moment an episode was released. This series has done something to me that I can't quite express with words, and I love it. I have a new favorite, one that has soared leagues beyond second place, and my day could never be ruined no matter what happens. Thank you for allowing this series to be made. |
 |
| Man, kaguya-sama just peaked in this episode(and season), the incredible animation, the well-paced story, and the kiss where just, amazing. Even though I love Chika it still felt right to not include her that much in this episode. A-1 pictures did it again, first, the last 2 episodes of 86 and now this?! Overall I loved this season even more than the other 2. 9/10 |
