I'm still trying to figure out how Kengo packed an entire club for a configuration of his band that had only existed for a week (they only had their bass player for a couple days, one of which she was being held hostage by a monster), fronted by an entirely new lead singer with stage fright, that only knew one song. Like, the crowd is going ape-shit for, basically, complete strangers. If there had been more than three non-Kivat people in that crowd, I'd've been amazed, and they've got a packed house of screaming fans.

My only theory is that Nago is actually the best promotion that band could have, since he was probably loudly complaining about them for an afternoon after punching Kengo in the face. (Which: !!!) I'm assuming Nago was griping about this infuriating "rocked music" in such a Nago way that total strangers became Ikemens fans just to spite him.

It's absolutely the best part, and one of the only things that comes close to matching the charm of the previous episode. Like, we get to see Wacky Yuri for the first (and maybe only) time, and it's outstanding. Seeing where Megumi gets that black hole she calls a stomach; watching her risk-taking get used on thrill rides and dumb dares; seeing Otoya realize that Full Force Yuri is maybe not a relationship he could survive... it's all so good!

And then it has this kind of sweet button, where Otoya figures out that Wacky Yuri is just her trying to ignore her pain and resentment, and how false that makes her. HE cares about the real Yuri, not all these fake smiles and forced pleasantries. He'd rather get eternally shot down by the real Yuri than go on one more date with this fake version. It's a nice beat for Otoya.

Where is Ozawa when W.A.K.E.U.P. needed her! (Probably in grade school, I guess?)
