She is definitely less mean to Daiki than she is to imagination monsters from the end of time, but I would hope that would be the case! Daiki's a kid who screwed up by trying to hide his complicity in the current dilemma, he's not a hijacking ghost with ulterior motives. She mostly just loses her temper at Daiki in frustration, instead of her visceral and constantly declared dislike for Imagins. I mean, she barely threw any cutlery at Daiki; that's how you know she isn't that mad at him!

Sure, I didn't mean to imply that this scene was all about one thing. Hana's a character with a lot of different facets to her personality, and we can see two of them (Destroy Imagins and Bad With Kids) in this one scene. It's good writing!

Just a joke. I was referencing the rarity in any fandom for 100% agreement. I'm totally okay with folks having different viewpoints! They're generally fun to read!

It's weird because I know I was like 'hmm...' when I first watched these episodes, but now when I look back on them, I can only think "oh that classic swindling Ura, this is how it all starts'.

I can see him wearing me down over time. It's a poor debut, but the central concept of The Team Shitstirrer is one that I think any big cast needs. It's mostly how he's deployed: the precise level of shit he's stirring, and the velocity of that stirring. I don't think this story got the values right, but there's plenty of series left to recalibrate them.
