What is Komi Can’t Communicate Episode 5 about?

Episode five of Komi Can’t Communicate begins with Yadano challenging Komi after realizing that she is no longer the center of attention. He is the type that hates losing. She also was not comfortable enough with herself to appreciate another girl’s beauty.

Yadano spies on Komi’s every movement, leading to Tadano noticing that she is up to something. Yadano’s main goal was to defeat Komi in the physical exam - a feat that is attainable if she wins three parts of the exam.

The students are watching Komi as she completes her forest test and wait for her to say something. As the name of the show suggests, she can’t communicate, so no one at the school has heard her speak before.

Yadano was dumbfounded when she lost the first round, thinking the only way she could have done that was through bribery. She loses round two as well. The only solution Yadano could have thought of was to have a real battle. In the end, she was left wondering what Komi had that she did not.
