It's to try and have the same effect that the song did for Shotaro backed when it debuted: A song to help showcase how Jinno's' newly introduced flaw is what makes him likable to those around him. It's definitely tone deaf to play it during a sequence which is meant to be comedic, though.

Anyway, this is the second two-parter in the show that I forgot like 99% of.

But whereas I blocked out the Akiko two-parter in Act 1 because I found it so insufferably annoying, this one I realized I blocked about because, frankly, it's so frikken boring!

Like, I was basically rolling my eyes throughout the entirety of it. The love triangle I gave no craps about. The forced Evil Wakana stuff. The mystery that barely even qualified as one. Just, all of it. And like, I normally love Ishida's' directing, but I wish Sakamoto had directed this one, because atleast then there'd likely be alot more energy to these episodes overall.

Pretty much all I got. Though I will note that I'm not sure why Makura is getting extra heat here? Dude's' shtick has not changed from the second he was introduced.
