This week starts off with Lum finishing a personalized scarf Lum poured all of her love into. Watching her hop up and down in joyful anticipation of giving it to her darling simply melted my heart. Ataru uses this to make Ten feel bad and run off. Shuutarou isnt capable of bowing, while Ryuu bows then gives her dad a cheap shot. Sakura suggest hewriteher an apology, which he doeson the back of Atarus sweater....
Its Kumiko and the third-years last camp. The auditions for prefecturals are on the first night and announced the next morning. Even Mayu is aware that shes a ticking time bomb, and she doesnt like it. She claims not to have transferred from Seira for individual glory. If she beats out Kumiko for the euph soli, it will rock the boat. Throughout the episode, Mayu presents a symphony of subtle movements and expressions indicating the discomfort and turmoil within....
They want to make her dream of a live show bathed in blue light a reality. Its no longer just her dream, but one they all share and have sweated over. The livestream sufficiently anonymizes the members. What matters is the music and the JELEE and jellyfish imagery. Pulling off the project leaves all four girls exhausted to the point of collapsing in Tornados green room. Either way, Im going to assume Hayakawa Yukines intentions are neither pure or noble....
After Rudy tells Elinalise he has to go after all, she decides to accompany him. They step through it together and end up on the other side. On the surface, a harsh desert environment awaits them, seething with heat bands. Hes able to resist Lize, but outside he finds a beautiful woman and walks toward her. Within Rapan is the Labyrinth where he hopes to find Paul and Zenith.
Lily and the king must then plead with Makoto to convince Tomoe, which he does. Thanks to Tomoe, Makoto now enjoys their complete trust and gratitude, and they also owe him. Sakura Ayane is so good here pretending to be distraught about her (fake) sword shattering. But Makoto finds himself much calmer and less ready to smack her than their past encounters. Pressed for time, she agrees not to interfere with Makoto as long as he doesnt oppose Hyumans....
Himari ends up meeting her senpai Momokas two friends Shiho and Hajime, who also happen to be herbandmates. Theres clearly something between Momoka and Hajime. A truly hurt Aki lashes out in turn, and their friendship is torn asunderif there ever evenwasone. I wouldnt put it past Himari playing a role in that, but well see.
Still, theres a chance that itcouldbe a dragons egg, isnt there? I for one hope it is. Why should Chomusuke get to hoard the mascot role? The gang stops by Wizs shop to collect their share of the stores sales as per their previous arrangement. Whether its genuine or not, it works, and the gang is back in the field. Megumin is excited to earn the title of Dragon Slayer....
On the way, they defeat fifteen mutant monsters like its nothing. They find Patrick (or Pat) Rembrandt with anextremelycowed Zara. He initially resented Kuzunoha because he reminded him of himself when he was young, idealistic, and naive. Theyve tried and failed to profit off war; time to try something different. Makoto for his part doesnt mind the methods; the fact is, everyone is performing admirably.
Lum and Ataru do eventually arrive, but theyre also doing their couple schtick. Shinobu heads home alone, wishing someone who only liked her would fall in her lap. While that doesnt happen, she does find Inaba on the ground suffering from heat stroke. Ataru tags along because hes worried about Shinobu; Lum tags along because shes worried about Ataru. Once theyre free of there the couples are swapped and bound by leg shackles....
Failure is the best teacher! Iama little disappointed Toba-sensei didnt make a run at smoke some of her boozesmoked boozerules. Clearly, the production staff had some fun coloring outside the lines of typicalYuru Campnarrative structure.
That ring is only meant to leave Iris hand when its being given to her betrothed. Trying to give the ring back could get him killed to protect the secret of how it was stolen.
When Ryuu complains, Nagisa pretends to get upset and cry. Meanwhile, Ryuus dad considers Nagisa his sons precious fiancee, and so offers Ryuu no relief. Things take a turn when Nagisa invades Ryuus school life. Lum helpfully informs him that the crying schtick wont work on Ryuu and a more aggressive approach is needed. Not only that, even the formidable Ryuu cant land a single punch on him. Shes saved when Sakura uses a ghost-warding talisman on Nagisa, but doesnt believe their fight to be over....
It does so by getting experimental and zany with the narrative structure, and … Id call it hit-and-miss. Could they have upped the chaos and told the whole story of their trip in one episode? Alas, the Leftovers tale ends abruptly in the middle.
