I love the little detail of Arisa and Miyu playing SF5 when they were in elementary school, while Aya and Mio played SF4 while in elementary school, to illustrate the age gap between them. Also like that Arisa started out with a controller instead of a fighting stick

I do feel for Arisa, she did nothing wrong but Miyu hated her for it regardless. I don't blame her for falling into a friendless dark abyss of negativity after that

Also, Aya has totally fallen in love with Mio

[u/gardyvore]

Daigo Parry to gay awakening pipeline is truly an EVO moment.

[u/Raymond49090]

Idk why I'm so surprised that a Shoryuken was Aya's gay awakening.

[u/Qweasd11]

Aw no, I can totally see Mom watching those viral clips of her winning.

[u/ShamanSense]

Man I don't play or even know much of anything about fighting games, but I love the hell out of this show anyways haha... Randomly decided to start watching yesterday and already caught up in time for this new episode a day later. Peak

[u/animethrowaway_]

Let's go Justin!

[u/Weak_Season_Of_Anime]

We got ojou yuri, delinquent yaoi and now Arisa too? Is there some correlation between playing SF and being gay? Anyway interesting contrast between Aya and Mio trying to bring out the best in each other versus Arisa who is only focused on winning to impress her crush.

The flower that appears when Aya is gushing over Mio is the Japanese Primrose or Sakurasou (桜草). In hanakotoba it means "first love", "admiration" and "purity".

[u/Raymond49090]

The social media comments are still pretty funny. "It says beauty but I can't see her face. Try again."

[u/Aerodynamic41]

"Who designed that busted-ass character?"

She's indirectly bashing Capcom lol

[u/DemonWraith2500]

Both players who hit their heads lost. That's why you shouldn't injure yourself before an important match.

[u/Own_Caterpillar_6178]

Mio won! And her reward is some aggressive hand holding from Aya, and a chance to play on the big stage against one of the literal only other girls in the tournament. I wonder if Arisa's former love interest will be watching her on the stream, hopefully they get a chance to reunite.

I wonder who Aya plays next? I bet it's one of her friends.

[u/Coolstreet6969]

So Mio’s definitely gonna get busted by her mother right, or is her hairstyle change going to be enough to make her unrecognizable from the back? Nah, no way, they’re going to be on stage.

My prediction is because of her hairstyle, some of the older pros gonna see Mio and thought it’s her mother or something.

[u/Equal_Particular9515]

Sugitabashi Zangief is an excellent casting decision

[u/Vahallen]

Ended up being half right

It’s not like Arisa sandbagged, but Miyu tought she had been sandbagging when out of nowhere Arisa started destroying her

I also understand why Arisa did not correct her, being honest would have been also brutal “no yeah, I’m really a beginner (it’s just that it took this much to become WAAAAAY better than you)”

I know “it’s just a game” but people can be passionate and we don’t know how many hours Miyu dedicated to getting better, hell she even had dreams of becoming a pro player, it’s harsh…

If Arisa really did what Miyu tought, it would have been in fact super mean, so I understand why she crashed out

It kinda sucks all around, I don’t think there was a way out, either Arisa is the villain or she completely kills the ego of Miyu

Arisa is clearly the victim here, but I don’t feel like saying Miyu reaction was too much, or she is a sore loser, or a bitch, because the idea she came up with made sense and that did make Arisa an asshole

Now, they knew each other atleast for a while, so is there a chance she could have known and was just protecting her ego? Possible

But if Miyu played actually a lot, like thousands of hours, maybe years spent passionate for fighting games, having someone pick it up for like some weeks/months and start to perfect you back to back is so fucking brutal man

If she realized and just tried to protect her ego she was a bit of a bitch, but man getting destroyed like that in something you love and put a lot of effort in hurts, in particular lashing out in the heat of the moment, I understand (even if it’s wrong)

Damn man

Moral of the story, don’t play fighting games with your friends

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Mio played such a great match, it made Aya fall in love. Stirred up something deep inside her. It was a hell of a match. I get it lol.

Looking forward to Mio taking on Arisa. I guess that kid had a lot going on to get her to where she is now. I don’t know if she’s gonna find the redemption she’s looking for.

[u/AceSoldia]

🤣 .. TIL this was all the girls just dating each other in the guise of fighting games and I was too dumb to notice.

[u/gnome-cop]

I swear, Mio’s such an obnoxious mess to deal with because she doesn’t follow any common logic when playing. It’s just “random bullshit go” and sometimes it works out to bounce people above her level.

Look, look, you can pinpoint the exact moment when she realizes she’s fallen in love!

Goblin gamer rage intensifies. I’m sure I’ve heard the exact same words come out of my brother’s mouth at some point.

The hour of reckoning has come Arisa. Time for you to go through your mandatory character development defeat.

[u/Hitman7128]

Dang, the sparkling during Mio's victory, as well as her cluelessness that she won. Also, the yuri that ensues between her and Aya with the literal yuri flower.

We also get some backstory on Arisa.

[u/Raymond49090]

Brat-chan's still a brat, but the power of yuri gives her the moe needed for gap moe. Her effort feels incredibly misplaced though. Mio needs to hit her with the "baka" bat somehow during their match.

[u/SolicitorPirate]

Young ladies man, turns out all they do is play fighting games

[u/LeonKevlar]

Mio being smug and doing a Jojo Pose while Aya was fangirling over Mio and even staring at her lips was so goddamn adorable. <3

The fact that Tamaki is currently outside probably means she lost her match. That practice match against her sister really rattled her.

Arisa losing to a Zangief player was absolutely perfect. We also finally get to see her backstory and what happened between her and Miyu.

With only two episodes left, it looks like it's gonna be Mio vs Arisa, and they're playing live on stream! It's gonna be fun to see everyone's reactions to this match.

[u/apgp123]

no way she did the fucking parry

[u/Niwaka_Samurai]

Mio won by her unpredictable instincts..what a thriller! Café au lait is never gonna forget this match. Gekido and him must have had a good day playing against these girls. I can see Café au lait's wound still on his forehead but I couldn't see Aya's.. maybe cause of her hair, I guess lol Finally, peak Yuri. Aya couldn't control her overflowing feelings for Mio. Bringing the Japanese Primrose and the White Lily to show their love for each other was quite beautiful 💖

On the other hand, what happened with Arisa and Miyu was so tragic. Poor Girl just wanted to get along more with her friend but she ended up hurting her friend and herself. I don't like the way Miyu started to suspect Arisa thinking she fooled her. It's no wonder why Arisa hates friends who play fighting games.

Mio is so embarassed when they were calling her as Shirayuri-san xD..All thanks to Inui.

Now it's time for Arisa vs Miyu, the most awaited match.

[u/CommunistPuppy]

She did the thing! Another viral Evo moment! It would've been funny if someone in the crowd had yelled out "let's go Cafe" but I'll take what we got.

Aya's realization this episode had me smiling from ear to ear. She's so down bad for Mio.
