It's a good thing it's so fitting for Kagami's character, or else I'd feel it's more of a shame he wasn't more involved in a storyline that gave so many characters so much fun material to work with.

Weirdly, I think Kagami is responsible for my favorite gag in this episode? It's so hard to describe why it works, so let me set it up with this gif:



He treats the emergence of the soba chef, coupled with the reveal that it's Tadokoro's brother, like a Worm just showed up. Him wheeling backwards, smacking into the door, desperate to escape this new information... it's definitely the one thing I can remember laughing out loud at in this episode. (I'm pretty sure I found other stuff funny, but I'm certain I laughed at this.)
