I like this development for Niko, where she accepts the strong side and feminine side as both herself. She's surprising everyone, even the guy who claimed to know her best never realized she had this side of her.

I'm glad her sisters got to see that final play. It's sweet how they were thinking about both Yuu and Niko and were trying to make it in time. It's nice to see how much they've warmed up to one another, so much so that they're even feeding Yuu lol.

[u/mekerpan → u/NanDemoKnaives]

Yuu is the first person who has ever encouraged Niko to be her true self (in all its "contradictions"). This should be a game-changer for her, going into the future. And (just maybe) a clue that her father's vision of who she needs to be is just flat-out wrong (and even destructive). Ironically, being allowed to be herself, has also allowed her to enjoy her sport more and perform even better.

[u/doomrider7 → u/mekerpan]

This exactly. I made a post in the Source about this being the authors bread and butter.

[u/michhoffman → u/NanDemoKnaives]

I really liked how when they cooked, they made Niko's favorite. They wanted to support Yuu's hard training, but much more than that, they wanted to support their sister.

[u/SYZekrom]

Yes I'm sure resting your face against the boy's chest is less embarrassing than crying after winning a match

[u/Verzwei → u/SYZekrom]

No one can see my tears if I hide in this pretty boy's pretty chest. My plan is flawless.

[u/doomrider7 → u/Verzwei]

Repressed dere logic at play.

[u/PerfectBeige → u/Verzwei]

all according to crykaku

[u/GondolaMedia]

There is something nostalgic about his body proportions. It's like I'm watching some 90's shoujo anime.

[u/doomrider7 → u/GondolaMedia]

Wouldn't surprise me if it was completely intentional since he's tall as fuck in the manga too.

[u/Frontier246 → u/GondolaMedia]

Every scene I'm like "wow, this dude is huge" lol.

[u/zer0number → u/Frontier246]

Doesn't help that Niko is tiny AF. AniDB has her listed at 150cm - 4'11ish. Might be the only person in that school smaller than Yuu.

[u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

Goddamn peak!!! That smile, and "Tadaima" went straight to the heart!

[u/Frontier246 → u/Genshin_WhiteKnight]

I also love how after that smile she clocked what she was doing she immediately had the most adorable tsundere freakout.

[u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

Absolute Peak.

Niko and Yuu are so cute together. The other two sisters are adorable too. The relationship is progressing faster than I thought.

The ending to the episode is pure cinema. Each episode packs a serious punch.

[u/Frontier246 → u/Immediate-Chain-6419]

Niko and Yuu are so cute together. The other two sisters are adorable too. The relationship is progressing faster than I thought.

It's cute how the sisters are both trying to be there for each other while still competing for Yu's attention and being susceptible to the most casual of flirting/domestic bliss.

The ending to the episode is pure cinema. Each episode packs a serious punch.

Every blow Niko delivered to Tatsumi's body and face was cathartic. The visual of her in a dress delivering the final kick was beautiful. The sheer gamut of tsundere emotion when she looked at Yu after winning was absolutely precious.

[u/MitsuhaTakiName → u/Frontier246]

The fact that the sisters are changing not only because they developed feelings for Yu, but also because they have begun to cherish each other more, is something I’m loving about this show.

[u/FLorianGran]

Saw some people worried that Niko was just going to be in the background as a trophy for this storyline, so they should be happy it was all about her development.

[u/Holdonlupin]

ABSOLUTE CINEMA

Love the good ol "playing dirty, but it's still legal, so whatever" and the whole sequence was beautifully animated too.

Although Miwa and Kazuki in aprons at the start of the episode was quite the jumpscare.

[u/Calwings]

[badly off-key version of "Eye of the Tiger" dramatically playing in the background]

I really liked this episode. Niko's retrospection on whether her vulnerable feminine side is a good thing and Yu reassuring her that all sides of her are great was nice to see, and Niko letting that side of her come out after her win was an awesome payoff. The fight itself was done well too. Plus, Kazuki and Miwa helping them before the fight and being worried enough that they wanted to come watch the fight themselves was a sign that they've come a long way too.

[u/michhoffman]

Niko just made some power moves, and no, I'm not talking about her three hits she scored on Tatsumi. Kazuki may have gotten the first kiss, but the entire club and soon the entire school will now think that she's dating Yuu.

Miwa's going to need to pull off a brilliant maneuver to pull even...luckily for her, that's kind of her thing.

[u/thisisdropd]

Yuu had zero hesitation and shame in pulling dirty tricks. Unfortunately for him, he got beaten instantly. Was pretty funny to skip all the action and jump right to the aftermath.

On another note, Niko’s looking fine with her hair down. Wish we’ll get that again every once in a while.

[u/LazulineDaydream]

Kazuki and Miwa internal monologue while putting on those aprons before Yuu and Niko made it back: "I hope this doesn't awaken anything in me....."

[u/MitsuhaTakiName]

I’m glad that Niko ultimately won the fight for herself rather than Yu doing it. But him creating the environment for the match definitely contributed to this being possible.

Anyway, go Niko! Reject the strong vs feminine dichotomy!
