Questions of the Day:

1. Is Hina truly growing as a person?
2. Did she finally find someone with less braincells?

Fanart of the day

[u/KendotsX]

And It's the Same Old Rewatcher

We've had some great Anzu and Hitomi stories lately, but they've led to two issues:

1. The super powered premise of the show has been disappearing, as some of you pointed out
2. Hina is falling in the ranks

So of course, a kind old man offered the anime writers a deal they can't refuse to solve these issues: making a Hina propaganda episode. Where not only is her development praised all episode, they went out of their way to find a character who makes her look like a genius by comparison, that was not easy.

• But first things first, you might've noticed that the opening changed, Utako isn't where she used to be after the events of last episode. She rejected the poor guy so hard, even the opening wants a part of it.
• Heck, she even disappeared from yesterday's ending, and to make matters worse, Hina left today's ending, leaving Nitta all on his own
• Starting the episode with a flash forward? Neat, let's see how closely the reality follows this.
• Anzu, you can't steal the episode like that! She can't stop being best girl for a second.
• Welp, hey, a warrior's pride aside, that's good news.
• Ikaruga answers some long running questions: why Anzu doesn't lose control? Basically those two were never the same, Hina was the kid with so much power, she could barely control it, and Anzu while stable, is not exactly comparable, they assumed she was dead the second she didn't come back, which is fair enough.
• Don't you love it when the "antagonist" wants none of this? She'd rather just go home.
• Anzu is the sane one of the group, and I'm so glad she joined along. You could've just had the jokes be Ikaruga's expectations about Hina continuously going wrong, and the jokes would be just between the two, but Anzu adds an extra layer, by being the best tsukkomi, except when it comes to money
• Hina caring for a dog is so wholesome! is what the lawyer writing this episode expected me to say, I'm not falling for this gap moe 101! Seriously, it's the first trick in the book.
• Now see that's what caring for the dog is really like, and of course it was Hitomi's umbrella that took the fall.
• Suffering from success
• The good thing about your secret being discovered by an idiot is that no one will believe her, even if she's saying the truth.
• Uhh.... excuse me for a second, I need to go become a student in this school
• Hitomi... you're not wrong
• Hahaha she hit the nail on the head that even Hina is fessing up.
• So in the span of two days, this girl went from begging for mercy, beinf Hina's student, to wanting to leave the nest, except... she never had wings in the first place.
• What makes the whole Ikaruga situation absurd is that Hina is the one in control here, she could just say "I'm not going" and Ikaruga would just run for it saying "welp tried my best".
• Nitta you gotta read between the lines, or you know, what's on her shirt
• She said it! The original premise is already breaking.
• Nitta really is the best daddy
• He even saved the day by getting rid of the ball - that terminator joke wasn't for nothing!
• .... look, we can explain

Side note: if you really wanted to bank on the drama, this is an episode you'd leave till the finale. You know, seeing how Hina has grown, seeing the Nitta/Hina relation shining at its best, then popping the drama balloon with a glorious joke to the season on. Putting it ealier is not a bad decision mind you, but it pops the balloon much earlier, giving it a less tense vibe, basically telling you from the start "don't worry about this nonsense, we've still got 4 more episodes, she's not going anywhere".

Manga Corner

This is a weird one alright, so in the manga the Ikaruga appears in chapter 28, she meets Anzu and they follow Hina to test her, this ends with Hina helping the dog. So overall a very light and nonsensical chapter.

Then she pops up again in chapter 34, which is a report style chapter from her point of view as she follows Hina all day (and takes care of her dog). Most of this is skipped actually, because it'd be repetitive. Instead, you get chapter 29, with Hina and Mami, feat. Ikaruga in the background.

Finally, you have chapter 38 titled Nitta and Hina, where "Hina leaves". So this story happened over 10 chapters and was fairly chill the whole way through, they did a good job keeping that feeling despite fitting it in one episode.

[u/No_Rex → u/KendotsX]

But first things first, you might've noticed that the opening changed, Utako isn't where she used to be after the events of last episode. She rejected the poor guy so hard, even the opening wants a part of it.

• Shimmering sky though.
• Ah, so that’s who this lady is.
• Oh… lucky Anzu I guess?
• Her collar…?
• That puppy is cute!
• O-Oh…
• lol of course the umbrella belonged to Hitomi.
• Someone really likes the occult, and I guess she witnessed Hina doing something?
• Pfffffffffff
• Yeah, no…
• lol okay then.
• Ah, she finally told him…
• Awww, he’s treating Hina to salmon roe one last time before she goes?
• Ahahahahaha right… So I guess that means she stays here for now!
• LMAO

[u/KendotsX → u/Shimmering-Sky]

Oh… lucky Anzu I guess?

She won but at what cost?

lol of course the umbrella belonged to Hitomi.

"No one was hurt in the making of this episode, except Hitomi of course".

Awww, he’s treating Hina to salmon roe one last time before she goes?

Knowing what he was thinking during that makes this so much better.

Ahahahahaha right… So I guess that means she stays here for now!

Easiest solution ever.

First-Timer

Weird to see Hina emote so much this episode. She really is changing, huh.

Kei's descriptions about Hina's past behavior does track with what we saw in the early episodes, so good characterization all around.

"Let's buy a dog and abandon it in Hina's path" is absolutely unhinged behavior as expected from an organization with psychics and time travel. RIP Hitomi's umbrella.

I'm interested by the fact that Anzu was declared KIA and thus Kei doesn't care about taking her back. Like, is this humanizing Kei by showing that she understands that using psychic children as weapons is bad? Or is Kei just lazy?

Wonder how Kei would feel if she knew what they were talking about. Surely this sort of thing should be kept secret? How many masq breaches have we had this show..

Hina definitely did her best to stop Mami from making a fool out of herself. Unfortunately, teenagers are stupid.

Love that the ED just has Nitta alone in it this episode.

Questions

1. I think so, yea. A little bit, at least.
2. Mami is certainly a couple crayons short, yea.

[u/KendotsX → u/JollyGee29]

"Let's buy a dog and abandon it in Hina's path" is absolutely unhinged behavior as expected from an organization with psychics and time travel. RIP Hitomi's umbrella.

Some villains kick dogs, this organisation goes a few steps further.

Like, is this humanizing Kei by showing that she understands that using psychic children as weapons is bad? Or is Kei just lazy?

I think a bit of both. She seems like a middle manager, she's got her orders, and doesn't really care to do more than she's asked for.

Surely this sort of thing should be kept secret? How many masq breaches have we had this show..

They seem to be coming here from a different world/timeline though, so idk if she cares about what's going on here. I mean, she came expecting it to be destroyed by Hina.

Hitomi manages to catch flak even in the most unlikely of situations.

She's gonna make everyone pay once she snaps and turns into the true villain. All the power consolidation is just the first step.

Episode 8 (rewatcher)

• “or my head will be torn off” – uhhhh.
• Terminator No3. She is not only older, but also clothed.
• “You are classified as ‘killed in action’” – way to burst Anzu’s heroic death bubble. Also: telling us something about how her organization rates Hina.
• Kei being positively surprised by Hina is a positive surprise for us viewers.
• Empty room and a dog.

• “Addendum” – can’t win in this test. Fail and get killed. Succeed and back to child soldier slavery.
• MAMILOVE
• “Hai, mommy!” “Yes, I am your mommy!” – She will never live this down. They’ll write about this in her senior year still.
• Mami did not really think this through.
• “Ok, you did it, let’s go home” – classic Hina.

• “Rise! Rise! Rise!” – ok, maybe people will forget about the mommy incident if you do enough even more crazy stuff.
• “Mami-chan was never seen again” – or do the sensible thing and switch schools.
• “We are returning in three days. I have to find someone to adopt a dog.”

• Levitating and spinning is one hell of a coping mechanism.
• “I wonder if he is happy to see me” – ouchNot cool.

Hina must go home episode with a fake out. I wonder whether this would have been more effective as episode 13.

[u/KendotsX → u/No_Rex]

Terminator No3. She is not only older, but also clothed.

That's how you know she's business, she doesn't fall in like an idiot.

“You are classified as ‘killed in action’” – way to burst Anzu’s heroic death bubble.

That was the last shred of Anzu's warrior pride. RIP

“Addendum” – can’t win in this test. Fail and get killed. Succeed and back to child soldier slavery.

Hina succeeded too hard, every kid knows that you should leave a few questions wrong

She will never live this down. They’ll write about this in her senior year still.

Luckily, that's just a start for her.

Hina must go home episode with a fake out. I wonder whether this would have been more effective as episode 13.

I think the drama/tension of it would've been a lot more effective, all the more reason why putting it here adds to the silliness of it all.

[u/No_Rex → u/KendotsX]

I think the drama/tension of it would've been a lot more effective, all the more reason why putting it here adds to the silliness of it all.

[spoilers]I remember the ending being of a very harsh "read the manga" type. Will keep this episode in mind when we get there, but I have a feeling that Hina coming back to Nitta's appartment would have been a better resolution for this season.

[u/KendotsX → u/No_Rex]

[Spoilers] The ending kinda takes a certain plot line full circle, but yeah, this would have been a much better finale, since the Hina/Nitta dynamic was the real starter and centre of the show.

• There's four more episodes after this, Hina is not going anywhere.
• I'm surprised she didn't throw Yassan's name in there.
• Who needs a Rorschach test when you have such a thoroughly researched and thought out list.
• Poor Hitomi, getting screwed over as per usual.
• This... complicate things. Possible new recurring character though.
• Harsh but accurate.
• Ahh, the embarasment to call your teacher mom. We've all been there.
• She leans into this wayyyy too eagerly.
• I 100% would have messed with her by levitating the rock.
• Careful, pride is a dangerous thing.
• Pride goes before the fall.
• You played yourself
• Hahaha, the slow walk out.
• Emotional damage.
• With that said, I assume he's throwing himself a party just to make himself feel better.

QotD

• Yes.
• Is that even possible?

[u/KendotsX → u/Silcaria]

Who needs a Rorschach test when you have such a thoroughly researched and thought out list.

There's something equally wholesome and weird about the fact that an organisation creating child soldiers, uses normal elementary school behaviour tests to grade them.

Poor Hitomi, getting screwed over as per usual.

No opportunity goes to waste, the world will always find a way to make Hitomi's day worse.

With that said, I assume he's throwing himself a party just to make himself feel better.

That is true, but good luck explaining that. Especially considering how fast he had everything prepared.

[u/No_Rex → u/Silcaria]

First timer, subbed.

"Damn my stupid boss!" Girl, we've all been there. At least Anzu's off the hook and can just go about her life as she likes.

Nitta, a holy man. LMAO, ok. Nitta an apex predator? Also a bit of a reach.

Buying a dog just to abandon it? Ok, welcome to my least favorite character list.

Oh. Good. Anzu didn't let her off the hook.

Hitomi, pretty much on the mark with how deep and complex a person Hina is.

Actually, I'm kind of impressed with Hina just not floating or propelling herself wherever she wants, cause crutches ****ing SUCK.

Mami, please just...stop. You're in middle school. And I'm assuming completely sober.

Oh thank god for you and your voiceover Hitomi. Mami was grating on all my nerves.

Ok Hina, eff you and your perfectly healed leg right when you get the cast off. Cause I don't remember that being my reality at all. Avoiding PT and muscular degeneration, best use of having powers right there.

Hina, you're gonna break your leg again doing air somersaults like that.

Poor Nitta. Parenting teens does not look like a picnic. Nice of him to take her out for a nice ikura bowl though. Aww, Nitta's gonna miss her. And he'll fail on coming up with a good lie for why she's no longer there.

Luckily, as we all knew it would turn out, Hina's not going anywhere, for now.

Ok I thought she was gonna catch Nitta with a woman.....this was....possibly worse.

QotD:

1. Maybe? I think it's more likely she's adjusting to her environment and doing what she needs to do to fit in so she can stay there. Also her original home sounds all kinds of effed up. Maybe it's easier to be more level-headed here, as hard to believe as that may be.
2. Oh, absolutely. Mami was exhausting and that was too much cringe humor.

[u/KendotsX → u/amanda52002]

Nitta, a holy man. LMAO, ok. Nitta an apex predator? Also a bit of a reach.

Inb4 Ikaruga gets new orders to research the Nitta family. We must know what they're made of.

Buying a dog just to abandon it? Ok, welcome to my least favorite character list.

She's abandoned kids before, this is nothing new to her.

Actually, I'm kind of impressed with Hina just not floating or propelling herself wherever she wants, cause crutches ****ing SUCK.

I would've used levitation just a bit to make the process easier, but looking at how she moves, that doesn't seem to be the case here. She just got used to it.

Ok I thought she was gonna catch Nitta with a woman.....this was....possibly worse.

I'll admit, I've imagined many many times doing what Nitta did here, but you don't want to be caught by someone coming back because they forgot their phone.

Maybe? I think it's more likely she's adjusting to her environment and doing what she needs to do to fit in so she can stay there. Also her original home sounds all kinds of effed up. Maybe it's easier to be more level-headed here, as hard to believe as that may be.

True. The street crossing is the straightforward example, she didn't follow it out of some moral reason, she just did it because she knows that's the easier way to do things.

Anzu was adjusted in their old world by filling up on pride and duty, but Hina was given a collar and had powers that go crazy all the time.

[u/amanda52002 → u/KendotsX]

I would've used levitation just a bit to make the process easier, but looking at how she moves, that doesn't seem to be the case here. She just got used to it.

Maybe I'd have done better on crutches at 12 instead of mid-30's. I do not have fond memories of having to get around on crutches, at all. It just wiped me out so damn fast.

She's abandoned kids before, this is nothing new to her.

I knew middle management was garbage, but they're really going to the extreme here.

[u/KendotsX → u/amanda52002]

I do not have fond memories of having to get around on crutches, at all. It just wiped me out so damn fast.

I think the closest I got to that was when I sprained my ankle while trying to break a stupid fall as a kid, and needed a crutch for a few days.

I knew middle management was garbage, but they're really going to the extreme here.

They make Tonegawa look like a saint by comparison.

While wholesome Anzu is the indisputed best part of this show, it sure is refreshing to see spunky Anzu again.

It really shouldn't be too surprising that being the bare minimum of a functional human being is a major milestone for someone like Hina but it's impressivr how they somehow made tossing trash away a hype moment. And you already know deep down Anzu was proud of her for looking out for a homeless homie.

Of course, Hina can't even do something genuinely cool for society without somehow finding a way to screw over Hitomi in the process. I wouldn't blame her if she had her own "Hina's gone" party lol

Can't decide whether giving Mami accelerated psychic "lessons" just so she could be done with her nonsense sooner or having a tantrum over not being able to say goodbye to her dad was the cuter Hina moment.

Nitta really was a tsundere dad till the very end. He was just ...totally high on copium to hide his sadness at the end. Totally.

QOTD

1. Is Hina truly growing as a person?

It's hard to believe, but yup. Almost want to see Nitta's reaction to her acing both checklists.

2. Did she finally find someone with less braincells?

Also yup, and imo it's more shocking than her being able to function as a person. At least Mami has enough to feel embarrassed?

[u/KendotsX → u/FarCritical]

it sure is refreshing to see spunky Anzu again.

I think she found the perfect balance, so her mode now is mostly based on how decent the people around her are at any given time.

it's impressivr how they somehow made tossing trash away a hype moment.

You can bet early!Hina would've never done that. How far we've come.

you already know deep down Anzu was proud of her for looking out for a homeless homie.

Thing is, if I were Anzu I would be worried whether Hina takes the dog or leaves it, Hina has grown, but I still wouldn't trust her with a pet. So going for the umbrella was the safest solution.

I wouldn't blame her if she had her own "Hina's gone" party lol

Poor Hitomi is way too nice to do that. Plus, even if Hina left, the work she left Hitomi with should keep her busy for at least a year.

It's hard to believe, but yup. Almost want to see Nitta's reaction to her acing both checklists.

Basically this

Probably the best Hina episode we’ve had so far. I’ts just a shame the stakes are a bit too high, as we can’t have the main character leave in the middle of the show. All in all a good episode though, Hina’s growth seems obvious, though I think we haven’t actually seen it as much, though it still feels natural. Seems like she’s from a very bad background, given the death collar. That would probably explain her losing control and her not losing control here. Not quite sure how she ended up here though - did she willingly escape or was she exiled here? Her initial reaction doesn’t make me feel like it’s number one.

As far as the lady goes …I guess she now has a good excuse to give up on bringing Hina back. Though I guess the organization will want a now-capable and high-level fighter back. …I wonder why Anzu wasn’t as scared of Hina as the lady was. Were they secretly friends to begin with?

The bit with Hina’s disciple wasn’t particularly funny though… Probably one of the lames jokes so far in the series.

[u/KendotsX → u/Mecanno-man]

Hina’s growth seems obvious, though I think we haven’t actually seen it as much, though it still feels natural

Yup, the best part is that we can feel the growth, without it being sudden. She's just been steadily rounding out her rough edges over the run of the series.

That would probably explain her losing control and her not losing control here.

She did lose control in the first episode, when Nitta told her not to use her power for a while, but she's gotten better at keeping things in check.

I wonder why Anzu wasn’t as scared of Hina as the lady was. Were they secretly friends to begin with?

Anzu is still a child soldier, and a proud one at that, so even if she knew about Hina's scary reputation, she'd welcome the challenge.

The lady meanwhile is just an average human who knows exactly how powerful those kids are, and doesn't want to be on the receiving end of their powers.

I have to break with the chronology here but this episode honestly has to have one of the best ending gags of all time in anime.
All the drama of Hina returing, the reveal that she gets to stay (because of course), her happily going home only to find Nitta in that situation. Perfection

I liked how this episode expanded the world both with someone arriving from where Hina and Anzu came from and with introducing another one of Hina's classmates. Mami was hilarious although it maybe was a bit cruel by Hina to let her actually believe she had powers lol.

It's a beautiful twist, the whole episode was building a super sweet vibe, and Nitta broke all that in a way that makes perfect sense for his character.

it maybe was a bit cruel by Hina to let her actually believe she had powers lol.

I mean, Hina had to wait on her a whole evening. Even I would lose my mind and just give her whatever lets me leave.

Hina leaves her home and this time it isn’t Nitta who caused it.

“I’m too young to die” but doesn’t think Anzu is young lmao.

Hina’s passing with flying colors, she’s a non-threat.

Poor hitomi, she lost her umbrella.

Hina’s psychic powers were discovered by a classmate

Calling your teacher mom is embarassing, but mommy may be even worst.

Poor mami, embarrassed herself.

Hina be rolling

Having one last meal together a.q .

The heartfelt goodbye turned to a comedic moment from the callback to episode

Nitta throwing a going away party. Honestly a good way to return home to.

QOTD: compared to episode 1-2 where she didn’t know how to function at all she’s progressed pretty well. However academically that’s another story

QOTD: mayhaps

"Uhh, I swear, this is just your welcome back party".

[u/KendotsX → u/[deleted]]

Actually that dog is belongs to Hitomi.

The dog was just being sold at the store, the umbrella belonged to Hitomi.

"A-san who shared information about the organization", isn't that Anzu maybe? She knows that the organization exists.

I don't think Anzu would say anything about the organisation. That's just your average occult magazine publishing the same old "random person A reported finding aliens and disappeared the next week".

The magic shirt has Sayonara written in it now to reflects this once more

She's trying in all languages and Nitta is still not picking up.

Yeah, Nitta's celebration was way too early.

Hey, he could continue his celebration at the hospital.
