This episode might not have had the visual spectacle that other episodes of this season have had, but it delivered on some powerful story beats. The new B Komachi got their new song and are busy shooting their music videos. It was funny to see Akane fussing over Kana and then not being able to just give her a straight compliment (@rikka@ani.social):
Additionally, we got some Sarina and especially Gorou backstory this episode. For his tragic start to life, and rocky relationship with his grandfather, Gorou ended up accomplishing quite a lot. He went to Tokyo University and became a doctor, no small feat. This is where we also get to see the little keychain thing that Sarina gave to Sensei. In a blink and you miss it change to the ED for the show, there was a small addition to the very end where it shows up again:
Finally, I just like in this story how just as Aqua is starting to come to terms with the fact that he believes his revenge arc is over...we see Ruby's star begin to darken at the end of this episode.
One more episode to go in this season, but we will have to wait until October 6th for it to release.
seems like this season's ending might be a very huge cliff hanger (than this episode). i mean if they packed up this season with this episode it would have been fine too. i guess pretty soon aqua is going to see his own dead body too and i wonder what will go on in his mind.
I think the pretty clear stopping point is going to be up through chapter 80 of the manga (maybe rearranged slightly). I really, really want this show to come back soon. Here's hoping for an announcement after the finale.
