Ahhhh Akane masterclass. My beloved. Doga Kobo continue to take this story to new heights, awesome episode and a lot to go over.

The episode title of 【太陽】or Sun is very fitting. The sun is point around which everything in the solar system revolves, providing warmth and light. Kana has been the metaphorical sun in Akane’s life ever since she was a little kid. She wanted to act like her, dress like her, cut her hair like her. Anything to be closer to her idol(nice call back to the name of the series) This was about so much more than just the Tokyo blade play. This was Akane trying to surpass her idol. Her literal raison d’etre.

They say you should never meet your idols though, and that flashback to when they were kids showed why. Despite projecting this mature and composed personality, Kana was just a scared and insecure little girl. A little girl no different from any other who just wanted to be praised and needed. Even this interaction with her idol changed Akane and made her go on to learn psychology which would ultimately be helpful with Aqua funny enough. Also allowing her to have a deeper understanding of the girl she idolises.

The look on Akane/Sayahime face.. that pure determination when she sees what Kana has become, shrinking to match everyone else’s acting rather than dictating it like she once did.. Akane wants to beat her, sure. But not like this. Doga kobo did so well conveying those emotions and the animation during their fight scene was beautiful. The added Aquaka scenes were so good too. I can’t wait to see how they bring out the real Kana, together.
