Considering the immense popularity of
the “ Blue Archive ”
video game, it was pretty obvious that the anime adaptation would also enjoy a
good reputation. And while some claim that it “is
in decline” or that it “never even took off,” there is no denying that it has a
pretty solid fan base.
“Blue Archive” takes place in a fictional world where players take on the role of a teacher guiding a group of students at the Schale Academy. The academy is just one of many in a city where different schools coexist, each with its own culture and conflicts. Players must form teams of students, each with unique abilities, and deploy them on combat missions. Strategy is essential, since each character has a specific role on the battlefield.
However, those unfamiliar with the franchise definitely didn't see one scene from the most recent episode coming. When Shiromi Iori joked to Sensei that she should kiss his feet to gain his favor, she didn't expect him to actually do it. The scene shows Sensei practically sucking on Iori's feet with great fervor, not even stopping to respond to Sorasaki Hina.

Curiously, this moment comes from a deleted scene from a manga of the franchise, where practically the same reactions can be observed. In fact, fans of the franchise themselves were not sure if this scene would ever be adapted.
And of course, this moment definitely did not take
long to become a trend on social networks, accumulating comments like:
- " I
just saw the scene and I really can't believe they did it ."
- " It
still surprises me that the guy didn't stop sucking them to respond to
Hina ."
- « Holy
shit, the fact that this scene made it into the anime is insane. And no,
they didn't even tone it down one bit. Sensei put his entire foot in his
mouth! »
- « I
never expected that he would put his whole foot in his mouth, Sensei is
living the dream .»
- « The
prophesied “filter” has arrived. How many will stop watching Blue Archive
from now on? »
- " This,
absolutely, is cinema ."
- " The
guy put his toes up to his throat, I can't believe how jealous I am ."
- " If
he did. Even more than in the video game. That's why it became a trend .
- « Yostar
Pictures understood that they needed this project to be directed by people
who leaned toward Gehenna. Keeping the licking scene was already good, but
the inclusion of the sound effects and Hina's shock was the icing on the
cake ."
- « At
the moment when the scene showed his feet, my colleague had just turned on
his espresso machine, the aroma started to fill the room and I was like,
Iori's feet smell really good! What a 4D cinema moment . »
