The opening scene is so sus lol 😂 What was Hokuto up to? 🤔 Anyway, I’m glad that we get an ep that sheds light on the unit we know the least thus far: Jupiter! With that, we finally get a picture of all our dear 315 idols, which is pretty good since they'll have their upcoming group idol performance~!! The ED sequence is so stylish btw, like what they did with the visuals 🍁
the reflective episode before the final push and it uses Jupiter brilliantly. watching these three men who have been through so much — the height of industry success, the fall from grace, the long climb back — look at these newer idols and remember what it felt like to be at the beginning is genuinely moving. Touma reflecting on the gap between his past self and who he is now carries real weight because the prologue episode gave us the context to understand what he went through. the parallel between Jupiter's mentorship and their own memories is drawn subtly rather than hammered home, which is the right call. the concert preparations intensifying adds urgency while the reflective tone keeps things grounded. an unexpectedly deep episode.
They have a different lives now as they get together and have a different paths., as they remanence the past in small get together.
