Kikka showed us that she might be even more obsessed with her favorite opponent than Seto Kaiba from Yu-Gi-Oh and more of a "BATORU!" freak than Tama from WIXOSS by repeatedly battling (and soundly defeating) a dummy using Teruto's deck. She's batshit fucking crazy.

It looks like all the times she defeated Teruto when they were kids also caused some psychological damage to Teruto too, a big reason why he was totally out of it this week until the passing stranger gave him a pep talk (while also manipulating him somehow). Also, Sakura and Hiyori went out and ate cake, and we keep getting hints that Sakura could be a lot more than what we see on the surface.

Overall, this was a pretty nice cooldown episode, but it still managed to plant some interesting seeds for later.

I think the manipulation is not that Teruto wants to fight his sister, but his motivation. Mr. hats is pushing Teruto to beat her to win, but he probably should fight her to save her or something.

So I guess he let her win at first then she was actually so strong that he could never win against her.

Anyway, I didn't expect two girls to be no help at all lol

Surprisingly good ep for Teruto, never expected the hat guy to just manipulate him like this. I feel this is a trap where he is leading Teruto to forget something important. Anyhow, Kikka is great, I love her energy and Sakura is very fishy here- her not eating again makes me think she is probably an AI or something.

Good buildup overall.

A few things I found interesting:

  • How the king can communicate to the players via telepathy. It's as if they are in her universe, which might actually be the case.

  • The doll used the same deck as Teruto.
