This episode elaborates the internal logic typical in stories about alchemy, yet it's kinda messy. In one scene it's shown that the RCC's have actual relative masses, yet in other scenes they're just ordinary cards.

Rinne mentioned the definition of alchemy as creating something from nothing and or creating life from death/the non-living. I guess the elixir hypothesis I made last week is plausible after all. Looks like one of the villains is aiming to create an articial life.

There have also been several mentions of natural order. How big exactly is the scope of the power of alchemy? Can it defy the laws of physics? Can it manipulate reality? Can it turn someone into a God?

Minato is very likely a double agent, like Tachibana/Emoto/Virgo Zodiarts from Fourze. He's at least at the same rank as the Sisters, or probably even higher than theirs. So far, I haven't seen manipulative tendencies from the Sisters, so I guess they're just mid-level generals. There's still a higher entity commanding them (and Minato) behind the scene.

Minato also gave Houtarou several RCC's in this episode. So I guess he's also catching Chemies behind the scene.

Spanner/Valvarad's attitude of equating Chemies to tools reminds me of Yua Yaiba's. Also, who does he work for? Another alchemist organization? The villain?

I've got several new hypotheses:
- I think The Sisters are similar to the Megiddos. They're probably humans or former humans that abused the power of alchemy and were consumed by it. They still have a little bit of human side, thus allowing them to fuse with the Chemies like other normal humans.
- The isekai (Ouroboros world) is probably the source of the power of alchemy and is also the homeworld of the Chemies, similar to the Wonder World.
- Hopper 1 is the mascot character of this show, so I guess he will grow up and become stronger as the bond between him and Houtarou become stronger as well. I hope he will become some kind of pet/partner character like Battle Hopper. Several Chemies can probably evolve into stronger forms, like Pokemons or Digimons or PreCure mascots. After all, the OP is called Chemy?Story, aka the chemistry or bond between Houtarou and Hopper 1.
- Kajiki is likely going to be a recurring comic character who also has another role as an independent truth seeker, similar to ORE Journal from Ryuki. He'll get very close to the truth, fail, get Neuralyzed several times, and will probably manage to find out about the truth near the end of the story.
