Although this episode called last week’s chaos Otaku Fracas, it dials the plot and gives us unprecedented insight into what life was like before Nazuna met KO. The biggest reveal is that before our insomnia boy, she had a well-known companion in crime in the form of Acerbic Bookworm Kyoko Mejiro. However, there are other revelations in this story, and we have reached the point where the arc begins to merge into real form. We haven’t come all the way, but I’m sure you can see where it goes.
I’m glad I don’t have to feel overwhelmed by how to discuss Nazuna and Kyoto’s relationship. It is immediately obvious to the audience that Kyoko was Anko Uguisu when she was a teenager. She has the same brown hair, wearing a familiar black turtleneck sweater and camel raincoat in one scene, and she also expresses Miyuki Sawashiroclearly written in the ending credits. At the start of the season, the OP also provided us with this connection, through direct visual similarities between Anko and the girls we now consider Kyoko. Although neither Nazuna nor KO seem to have made a connection, the story doesn’t try to hide that.
I proposed this because the manga fooled a few chapters after it was introduced in Kyoto. Losing in black and white and sound performances makes it easier to hide the younger version of another character. That said, I remember I figured it out quickly, and I thought this might match the conclusion of this episode when Kyoko took over that familiar Zippo lighter. So, it’s not Kotoyama’s intention to get along with it. However, I did find adaptation able to realize the futility of trying to cover up Kyoko, so it takes the opposite attitude and makes it more blatant. I think this is the right move. It makes the audience think earlier and makes the OP stupider.
I love her myself. I love Anko too, so it’s no surprise, but her young self is familiar with but has fun surprises. We see the origins of her obsession with detective work. As she got older, she showed off her sharp tongue and cold tongue and her sexual attraction to Nazuna. I told you Call of night The narrative of exploring queer is not yet completed. Like Kabura, Kyoko is a loner who feels alienated from her family and friends, but finds company among a Periwinkle vampire that awakens her lesbian desires. Although their personalities vary widely, we should keep these similarities in mind. Again, this means that Nazuna’s journey of self-discovery is entangled with Anko’s motivations, and we can’t address one motivation without another. Nazuna had previously thought about what prompted Anko’s vendetta against vampires, and now we have to consider the possibility that she has a relationship with it. Like I said, attractive grand!
This is not to say that the drawing is perfect. Here, Nazuna’s unique memory of selective memories makes me an element of narrative convenience, rather than a quirk of vampire neurology. I can forgive when she doesn’t remember her childhood, but these events were ten years ago and they spiraled around her first friend. I don’t care if she is 40 or 50; middle age won’t destroy your neuroplasticity That On average. KO happens to find Kyoko’s diary seems convenient in public, but I can’t blame it on Kotoyama. In the comics, there is another character whose story coincides with Nazuna’s flashbacks, who is the one who writes the diary. But, in my opinion, the anime–she has removed her from the lawsuit so far. A little reorganized, focusing on the story of Kyoto, thus enhancing its importance and impact. The cut character Rila is shown in the classroom scene (she is the girl in Lolita’s dress), so I hope she will get into the plot at some point, but frankly, in this section, the anime-only audience doesn’t miss a lot.
At this point, I like the night school environment of this arc. It’s a detail that goes back to the hidden aspects of city life after the sun sets in the first season. If you don’t attend in person, night school is a big but easily overlooked aspect of society. Few mentions, let alone charming, as the typical Japanese high school experience is in anime and manga. In this sense, it’s a discomfort, like many places Nazuna explored with KO. It’s very suitable Call of night. I also found how shy Nazuna became when it comes to public speaking, and it was easy for KO to shake the model student’s cloak for not swaying the boat. These are equally good character beats. It’s also great to catch Niko off guard. Her teaching work reminds us that vampires are also part of society. One of them may have killed Anko’s parents, but that doesn’t mean she has the right to wipe out everyone. Nazuna will have to talk to her again.
I will say, I will say I appreciate Kyoko’s external embarrassment. She almost kissed Nazuna and immediately admitted that she had never done such a thing before. She tore off the guy who asked her to go out, but she managed to frolic with Nazuna without changing her tone significantly. She hates her father and suspects that he cheats, but she can’t control her emotions when she finds on the computer that he still loves her very much. Kyoto is in high school. No matter how smart she is, she is forced to be a disaster. Therefore, it is easy to see why she appreciates someone like Nazuna who can disarm her and why she falls in love with her.
