They top their predecessors in so many spectacular ways and the handling of this was brilliant. You see, Pravda is a whole new level of enemy. The rest of the episode is too awesome to be marred by a single flaw. I find that I can’t really take it as seriously as I’m obviously supposed to, so I’ll put it aside and leave it at that. Unfortunately, while it’s a reasonable ultimatum for an anime like this, it’s also an overly common one. Or so I interpret it rather than assuming that it rests directly on the outcome of the tournament – the tournament provides a last ditch attempt to save the school. Winning a tournament to get some fame and earn sponsorships and the like could be a legitimate way to stop the school from closing. ![]() This is not an unrealistic scenario – school funds running low, nothing notable about it to make people interested in keeping it open. It’s not hugely surprising that the big secret that the student council has been so tense over all this time, constantly pushing on Miho to be sure she knows they need to win, is that the school will be closing down if they cannot win this tournament. Also all of the following, but holy shit! It’s rare for an episode of anime to leave me quite as pumped as this one, despite some of its more… questionable choices.
