The focus this episode has been on Jun and Tsukasa, but shoutout to Shinichirou for being such a bro. Also, feels bad for Shinichirou, getting overshadowed by Jun his entire career. Unfortunately, it looks like this situation is going to carry over to their students, with Inori and Hikaru gapping the rest. It reminds me of those strong but forever-second Umamusume / horses who had to compete with prodigies of their generation (e.g. Win Variation vs Orferve)

Banner nominations: so hard to decide between the funny (read: horny) one and the cool shot

Which one would y’all pick? Or something else entirely?

There is no new episode…

If that’s all there is to this arc, colour me surprised. I thought it would be dragged out like Akane’s.

I also thought it would be the start of villainess Kana - like Ruby’s case - but she actually took it quite positively - or at least as positively as the situation allows.

I’ve got even more respect for Kana now. Aqua is on point about her being a fighter alright.
