The ED playing in the middle of the episode caught me off guard but wow they really added that in the end. There are still some situations that aren't solved yet but I guess based on the ending, it will be continued in the next season. Not gonna lie, that ending wasn't something I expected but it definitely raises the excitement for the next season.

Wow, this episode was as disheartening as it was intense. Tsukumo spares no expense in destroying Trigger, and all the tricks he uses feel like a real threat. It often happens that the villains' actions in these kinds of stories feel over the top, but in this case, I can imagine many real-life groups suffering what happens in this episode. The Zool boys were born as a band with motivations full of resentment, and it's a delight to hate them as villains (the other idols being more obstacles for Idolish7 than antagonists), but what a great entrance and what great music they have! Like good Disney villains, the more evil they are, the better their music is. Also, what a sinister move it was to put Trigger's ending theme halfway through the episode, marking the beginning of their downfall. They're no longer a main attraction; they've been displaced by Zool's spectacular entrance. My only complaint about the episode is that the 3D here feels more sloppy than usual.

Playing the regular ending track mid episode alongside those sound effects gave me total chills. Masterclass in direction. Loved how such a subtle change instantly made everything feel wrong and creepy.
