This story treats it like a madcap romp (Yuuto wakes Ryotaro up just to knock him out again!), so I'm onboard. Honestly, I don't dislike time travel stories as a rule or anything? They can be as good or bad as other types of stories. It's nothing that's a pet peeve of mine.

These things iirc was usually treated as an aftertought before, or at worst, disdain, especially for Milk Dipper being a place that gets snark here due to it being seemingly pointless meeting place as DenLiner's there and it being centered regarding... Airimirers.

One of my all-time favorite Faiz plots was when the entire cast got jobs at a diner. I'm historically into folks needing to pitch in on some weird activity for a couple episodes!

It's a little bit of an exaggeration, but so is Deneb's behavior in this one. He is devastated to think that the crew doesn't unequivocally trust Yuuto, and he blames his own candy for letting Yuuto down. Like, there's Blaming Yourself, and then there's whatever Deneb's doing. It's comedically pathetic.
