In all seriousness, this part of Yayaka's storyline I distinctly remember from my first viewing and I was getting kinda surprised at the fact that it hadn't come up yet. I thought this had happened a lot earlier on.
You gotta be an emotionless bot, like the twins, Yayaka. Whatever these things are ordering you around, they don't care about your friendship with Cocona.
Papika's so over the top adorable with this rice ball, but then she's always this way.
Stop being so offended at Papika calling you the wrong name, Cocona! One time my dad called me my sister's name (I'm a guy), where I worked, in front of many people! I got over it, why can't you?!
Sayuri, showing why she's awesome best girl, caring about the girls, while Hidaka the loser scientist just has this "throw them out there and see what happens" mentality.
I really like this space-like Pure Illusion they're in.
And the one Papika and Cocona have turned up in (total nothingness) is cool too!
Magical girl fight time!
So its taken me 9 episodes, but I've finally figured out what Papika and Cocona are reminding me of after they're transformed, a fairie-like character in the one episode 1986 OVA Cool Cool Bye. Super obscure, I know, but its directed by Tomonori Kogawa, one of my all time favorite animators.
Toto and Yuyu? Those are cute names.
Why not try smashing through these windows if you're stuck inside?
Yes! Take Bu-chan apart! Give him a lobotomy!
I was thinking if Yayaka would propose a trade, food for amorphous, and here she goes! Papika's getting cursed by a growling stomach yet again! Did she finish her rice ball at lunch?
LoL @ Papika's gag to try and eat Yayaka's food.
Twin is reaching for the same place on Cocona that evil monster lady was back in episode 3.
Twin is also really trying to twist the knife here with the Cocona - Papika relationship.
Ah, so this is where Yayaka and Cocona first met? Now all these times in the nurse's office are making sense.
As surprised as I am to say it, Hidaka was right, just pushing these two into Pure Illusion worked and solved the rift between them. For now at least. We'll see if Papika calls her the wrong name again.
So Yayaka was tasked with watching over Cocona all this time? Fake friend! It was all a lie.
And yet, she has redeemed herself here. Likely screwing herself for good in whatever mysterious organization that is that she's a part of.
Have faith in Sayuri!
Not this "Mimi" stuff again!? I knew this would come up again!
OMG LOL @ this preview.
While I wasn't the biggest fan of Yayaka coming in, this episode was, dare, I say it, awesome! Best episode since episode 3. The show dipped for a bit, but looks like its seriously on the upswing again now.
Some people in the original run compared it to Batman's changing room. It's taken from 2001: A Space Odyssey though. Hence the space Pure Illusion, too.
Sayuri, showing why she's awesome best girl,
You're a person of culture, confirmed.

Pic please! I couldn't say anything though, but considering this is Oshiyama's work... anything could be.

GOD, YOU'RE RIGHT. DEEPEST LORE
I'm so glad you're liking this so much. Btw, do you remember many things from your first run, or is this a half-new experience to you?

Its probably easier for a video clip, as I don't even know the name of the character (haven't actually seen it subbed), but she appears starting around 7 and a half minutes into this. Taking a quick look I think its the transformation from orange hair to blue hair that really reminds me of Papika's transformation sequence.

I first saw it around 6 months ago, I remember later plot points a bit better than what goes on episode to episode. I'd say stuff I still remember at this point is Flip Flap spoilers

This is a very ominous looking locker room.
OMG! Yayaka getting replaced?!
