chihaya is honestly so pretty sometimes that it genuinely pisses me off. kana's words about turning things into poetry sounding like birds chirping was just so beautiful. this is definitely a show where i like the side characters way more than the main ones, except for taichi duh obv

Desktomu tracking the data and analyzing everything for the team makes him the REAL GOAT of this entire show. Also arata and taichi interaction is always so cute. Im just so glad they finally have a teacher actively defending them.

Episode Context

Coming directly after the high-stakes Queen and Master qualification matches, this finale deliberately downshifts to let its characters process the outcomes and recalibrate their ambitions. It closes the first season's journey from club formation through national competition by turning inward, examining how Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata have each been transformed by the experience. As the final episode of 25, it serves as a clear narrative bridge to Season 2, planting seeds of renewed determination and evolving interpersonal dynamics.
