Considering the immense popularity of the “Blue Archive” video game, it was quite obvious that the anime adaptation would also have a good reputation. And while some may claim that it’s “on the decline” or “never took off,” there’s no denying that it has a pretty solid fan base.

“Blue Archive” is set in a fictional world where players take on the role of a teacher guiding a group of students at Schale Academy. The academy is just one of many in a city where different schools coexist, each with their own culture and conflicts. Players must form teams of students, each with unique skills, and send them on combat missions. Strategy is key, as each character has a specific role on the battlefield.

However, those unfamiliar with the franchise definitely didn't see a scene from the most recent episode coming. When Shiromi Iori teased 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 Iori's feet with great fervor, without even stopping to respond to Sorasaki Hina.

Interestingly, this moment comes from a deleted scene from a manga in the franchise, where you can see practically the same reactions. In fact, fans of the franchise themselves were unsure whether this scene would be adapted.

And of course, it definitely didn't take long for this moment to trend on social media, generating comments like:

• “I just saw the scene and I really can't believe they did that.“.
• “I'm still surprised 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 tone it down one bit. Sensei put his whole foot in his mouth!“.
• “I never expected him to 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 took his toes to his throat, I can't believe how jealous I am“.
• “Yes, it's true. Even more so than in video games. That's why it's become a trend.“.
• “Yostar Pictures understood that they needed this project to be directed by people who were inclined towards Gehenna. Keeping the licking scene was already good, but the inclusion of the sound effects and Hina's shock were the icing on the cake.“.
• “When the scene showed her feet, my colleague had just turned on his espresso machine, the aroma started to fill the room and I thought, “Iori’s feet smell really good! What a 4D movie moment!”“.
