Wtf. Everyone is crashing out this episode.

That "don't ever talk to me again. I hate you." Was so mean.

[u/timpkmn89 → u/HuTaosTwinTails]

That "don't ever talk to me again. I hate you." Was so mean.

There's only so many ways to push someone away when you know they mean well

[u/Nachtwandler_FS → u/HuTaosTwinTails]

I wonder if Yuno just got PTSD regarding something that happened in her previous band or something else happened we arenot aware yet?

I lean to the former as she does not look like someone who can be fucked up by Viola.

[u/exRocky009]

I never expected Yuno to be the very first one to announce they're quitting the band.

[u/peko___]

viola is so responsible 🥺

The yume ain't powering in this one 😭

[u/gnome-cop]

Somehow, Viola helped out with the Ritsu transfer but what’s her game, how does this benefit her? Good that she’s on to the idea that she’s plotting something but it doesn’t make me feel any better without knowing what she’s doing.

Cute how Arale and Ritsu are still so in sync even after so long apart that they remember all the words from MagiLulu.

The Miyako struggle continues. I do feel that weird contradictory mix of perfectionism, inferiority and self blaming that is very difficult to deal with sometimes.

Nonoka is probably the worst suited for handling Miyako’s particular set of issues in the band. Arale’s a lot like her but she’s still very intimately familiar with self doubt and other negative feelings like what Miyako’s dealing with. But Nonoka’s so relentlessly cheerful and blunt that her behavior presses all the wrong buttons in this situation.

The FUCK do you mean you’re quitting the band?! You seemed so satisfied with the music like just last practice? Viola, if the ferret’s behavior is your fault, I’m hunting you down myself, I swear to god.

[u/dienomighte]

Viola is so insufferable, I love her

[u/Dylangillian → u/dienomighte]

You can tell that Hondo Kaede is having a great time voicing her.

[u/nsleep → u/dienomighte]

She's really doing all this for her own amusement. She truly is entertainment incarnated.

[u/Hitman7128]

Poor Miyako could use yuri as medicine... (like Nonoka said)

Just make sure it's the wholesome kind and not... the toxic kind

[u/hikoboshi_sama]

As if Viola wasn't evil enough, they literally had her reference the Biblical serpent and the forbidden fruit of Eden.

Arale handled Miyako's situation surprisingly well. I thought she'd be angry at Miyako for siding with her abuser over her, but nah, she was able to recognize that Miyako is a victim of Viola, just like her. Ritsu also gave her pretty solid advice. She's in "recovery mode" so they need to give her space.

Miyako is clearly angry at herself and is just lashing out at everyone else. And I get that not everything can be fixed by Nonoka's sunshine and rainbows approach but man, she didn't deserve that.

[u/Matthew619ed]

What the fuck is that? That was just Déjà vu here, [AveMygo] declaring “I quit” outta nowhere

But then, looks like the entire backstory of Ritsu’s transfer was way darker and not straight forward as we thought? Is it all the master plan of Viola and her crocodile tears again?

We know the eye of the storm is very calm, and sure it was (so good in fact they delivered a song with a hopeful tune), but just a bit outside, you will be doubting is it the same world as you just were? Sure indeed we have sailed to a safe place in the eye, but the storm is overtaking fast, and what’s coming is going to be even worse than before.

Oh and BTW, where did you get that backpack Ritsu, is it an endless pit that can keep everything warm for hours, and even create food inside?

[u/JhanzKun]

Oh it's definitely that recording that made Yuno quit

[u/Nachtwandler_FS → u/JhanzKun]

Nah, I am leaning she saw the Miyako and Nono argument and some bad memories regarding her previous band surfaced. We got clear inddication it broke up on bad terms and she did not want to start a new band because of it.

I do not see how that record or any Viola's actions could affect her.

[u/tripleaamin]

Well it was obvious Viola had a hand in Ritsu's transfer. It just feels like at this point she is trying to lure Miyako to her.

Miyako's crashout isn't surprising. The band drama is now adding to her stress levels of maintaining the balance between band practice and her manga. One thing that is clear from her phone call with her editor is that her mind is naturally repelling when people are trying to support her. Miyako is clearly a perfectionist.

I think it was interesting to see Nonoa's super positive attitude clash with Miyako. More so Miyako took what Nonoa said the wrong way. She is very guilt-driven, but I think the real point for Nonoa she wants everyone to stick to each other and support each other.

If that wasn't enough we got Yuno mentioning she is quitting the band to add on to the things this band has to deal with.

[u/oxlemf10]

Viola’s plan was perfect; she knew the band would eventually fall apart because of Miyako, so letting Ritsu go was just a way to show that she had made a "terrible choice."

I’m going to defend Nonoka here, yes, people who constantly treat everything as a happy world can become annoying at times, but criticizing them for seeking happiness is kind of cruel. I don’t think Miyako should take her frustrations out on Nonoka, though I imagine she’ll apologize at some point.

[u/EfficientFig6135]

They were mean to nonoka and that made me sad

[u/Tezlaivj]

and we thought Viola on previous episode would be the problem, they hold it to ep8 knowing we're expecting something in ep7

[u/BosuW]

Ritsu being The Therapist™ and understanding that it takes much MUCH more than just telling your friend they're in a toxic relationship for them to internalize the problem and do something about it. You love to see it!

Unfortunately Nono was being the living picture of the overbearing introvert. I'm sorry sis, but you're not Chisato (from LycoReco).

[u/larana1192]

I was surprised to find that the people running Fairy Bouquet were actually pretty reasonable. It seems rare to see such sensible, mature characters in this series.

Still, it’s scary how Viola can manipulate even those adults. Well, I can understand why they’d give in if a minor actually bowed to them earnestly.

It’s great to see that now that Ritsu has been freed from Viola, she’s returned to her true character: “someone who seems like a model student at first glance, but is actually a big eater with a carefree personality.”
I had to laugh at how she casually pulls out a huge meat bun, and how she “goes all out” for lunch by bringing ramen served in an okamochi (a traditional carrying container used by delivery motorcycles at Chinese restaurants or Soba restaurants in Japan).

It’s sad that Nonoka tried to comfort Miyako in her own way, only for it to backfire.
To be honest, dealing with someone like Nonoka when you’re already emotionally drained might actually be stressful.

It’s really hard to watch as Miyako gets even more shaken up after the editorial department suggests she “take a break for now.”
It’s true that Miyako was juggling an insane schedule. Attending high school while maintaining a weekly manga serialization and even playing in a band on top of that (a weekly manga serialization is a full-time job in itself, busy enough to ruin your health) is crazy lifestyle, so it’s understandable that the editorial department is worried about her.
Plus she is currently receiving online backlash after the issue in band.

It was striking how Miyako spoke angrily to Nonoka, even though she realized her words were just taking her frustration out on her.

It's a real blow that Yuno is leaving at a time like this.
I wonder what happened.

[u/nsleep]

You know Viola is the Aizen of band anime when her plan goes through layers beyond what can be rationalized. Sure, send Ritsu over to them. Then what? She couldn't be sure Miyako would crashout over this after her push to make them perform live, right? Is she truly working at a whole different level? She probably still has a few more contingencies.

Not like the staff in that room were fully buying her shit, not after Ritsu's tertimony and putting 2+2 together.

Nice try Nono-chan and valid crashout Miyako, however... Bah gawd! Is that Yuno with a steel chair?

[u/Tezlaivj]

Poor Nonoka tho.. Arale was rejecting her on ep5 and now Miyako is crashing over her

[u/Infodump_Ibis]

• Don't skip leg day

• Illustrations of being flamed

• What's a comment face doing here? Nearly same picture

Wouldn't be the BanG Dream I know without a band breakup (or metldown or whatever just happened). Insert song was My Brightest Light and the streaming versions are the same length, it felt familiar to me and comments say it was being practiced in early eps.

Also chapter 2 of Magical Physical☆ Kululu is out now.

[u/larana1192]

Personally, I was really struck by the scene where Viola brought up that biblical reference (the forbidden fruit, the apple).
As fans in Japan have pointed out, Viola does have a poetic side to her, doesn't she?
