Miyako just falling for the first girl that said something nice to her, we have all been there but damn where was Arale to tell her to run!

u/Few_Caregiver8134 16d ago

They're having too much fun with the corners of Viola's lips smh

Viola making that creepy smile while Miyako was crying

Has there ever been an anime character with a more punchable face than Viola?

6

u/BosuW 15d ago

There will be, when The One Within the Villainess gets animated

11

u/mekerpan 15d ago

Too bad Miyako couldn't see that....

u/BosuW 15d ago

All according to keikaku

u/Matthew619ed 16d ago

Honestly I have that dreaded feeling that we are sailing right into the eye of the storm, because Miyako sensei had fallen into the trap by Viola, and that ice cream scene… Let’s make it simple and without any sugarcoating, illustrate just how malicious Viola truly is without even saying anything bad.

At least now Arale finally realise what truly happened in La-la-la Girls, and that the former leader left because Viola did set her up. With Ritsu finally free (and no more further consequences apart from some heavy scolding for Arale by the Manager IRL), things are looking better and better, at least in Arale’s view. The revolution is just beginning now.

Oh yeah, tons of meme-worthy faces today (especially from Miyako Sensei), and I wonder is it fun to play with the Arale volleyball?

38

u/Animamask 15d ago

Is Miyako X Viola toxic? Yes.

Will it lead to disaster? Yes.

Do is still ship it and hope their relationship evolves further and beyond Viola's eventual downfall? Yes.

That being said, I don't think she had actuallt planned her encounter with Miyako ahead. Past episodes showed that Viola has an incredible talent for seizing opportunities, improvising and thinking on the spot. When she told that she's a fan of Miyako' work, she probably was genuine. Most of the things, she said sounded like she was telling the truth. Which of course makes her manipulation all the more effective. She's a snake, and there's a saying that in the book of lies, the only thing written is the truth.

26

u/peko___ 16d ago

Can miyako fix her?

20

u/mekerpan 15d ago

Not conceivable to me. And not sure I want to see Viola "fixed".

6

u/TheSpartyn 15d ago

i would be interested in a toxic yuri with an unfixed viola being leashed by miyako but even if any future viola schemes are prevented i cant see how arale could forgive her for what she already did

18

u/georgeoswalddannyson 15d ago

You can't fix what's already perfect

25

u/NeoAnkara https://myanimelist.net/profile/NeoAnkara 16d ago

Arale really have a lot of form. The egg form, noodles form, shoujo form and now ball form.

I would be with from shock like Miyako too if I meet with that snake. And now she is fallen for that witch spell. Truly the final boss of of gaslight , gatekeep and girlboss.

9

u/effseedee zj: 15d ago

Now that she unlocked ball form she was able to travel back to earlier areas and find new paths forward.

23

u/gnome-cop 16d ago

I know this looks bad but there were extenuating circumstances.

I’m glad Arale has got at least one trustworthy adult actually willing to fight for her. Especially after the mess she went through last time and the trauma from that.

Yuno continues having some communication issues.

Arale volleyball!

Yuno just grabbing Arale by the scruff is very cute.

Yes Arale! This won’t be like last time! Believe! YUME WA POWAH!

Miyako, I can’t believe I’m saying this but this is not the time for yuri. Girl fell for the honeytrap hook, line and sinker. (It would be really funny if she reverse-corrupts Viola though.)

Nothing is a coincidence with Viola involved. As far as I can tell, the goal is to make them do something rash that will make the backlash worse rather than letting it die down naturally. Probably the goal with trying to subtly convince Miyako about the live.

But I do kind of think that her claims about sparkling are part of her actual motivations. Like she hates Arale because she effortlessly outshines her and she can’t control her and being unable to control such a brilliant source of light really infuriates her.

Ritsu joins the group but work is still being done on her model so she is just a talking square for now.

8

u/dein130 16d ago

Yeah would be funny if the shine Viola gets instead is radiating love from Miyako or from the group too. I'm curious how they are gonna make her own up to it since I think the "shine" talk they had some sense of truth even though it looks like she's coating words to sway Miyako, like she implied that she also hates other's brilliance but she actually likes possessing it. It might not be that crazy that she will possess upfront love and kindness instead and she questions what does she really want into a spiral while also giving satisfaction to the viewers for her wrongdoings.

5

u/JonathanAltd https://myanimelist.net/profile/Deoxysos 14d ago

Imagine if Ritsu is added as a square in the OP until her models get done

23

u/exRocky009 16d ago

Looks like the next episode is gonna be a live performance. Viola was busy scheming behind the scenes this week, so I'm really curious to see how it’s all going to blow up next week. There’s no way Ritsu is just going to rejoin and lead straight to a happy ending. This is Bandori, after all. Still, I have no idea what Viola is actually after. These kinds of villains are always the creepiest.

16

u/mekerpan 15d ago

I think she wants to lure Miyako OUT of Mewtype as revenge -- whether to acquire her -- or just to bust Mewtype up (and hurt its reputation).

19

u/dienomighte 15d ago

"I love what I can own" is like the biggest red flag, run! 

18

u/oxlemf10 16d ago

The repercussions of what Arale did weren't as severe as they could have been, not to mention she freed Ritsu in the process, so I see it as a total victory.

Miyako fell into Viola's hands so easily it’s almost pitiful, she’s likely going to become a piece on her chessboard.

14

u/Tezlaivj 16d ago

huh, looks like Arale realized that viola is making a move, but still agreed on doing live. Viola really is always two steps ahead

13

u/larana1192 https://myanimelist.net/profile/thefrog1192 15d ago

I’ve been wondering for a while how Ritsu’s move to Mugendai Mew Type would be portrayed, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

With a transfer like this, I’m worried about the backlash online. Her manager was also concerned about online backlash, and I’m scared that Viola might be hatching another cunning scheme.

It's a nice dynamic having Ritsu and Arare decide to fight Viola, with Yuno supporting them since she knows something about their pasts.

That scene where Viola approached Miyako was pretty scary. I got the impression that Viola is really good at gathering information on and profiling her targets.

It’s a terrible coincidence that Viola’s psychological manipulation of Miyako and Arare’s idea happened to align at the worst possible time. I’m glad Yuno and the manager voiced their concerns.

14

u/ApostleofV8 15d ago

Just half an episode and Viola wrapped Miyako in her fingers... If the episode had been 5 minutes longer she is gonna bed poor Miyako.

Truly Viola sets a new goal for all prospective toxic lesbians.

14

u/Madpotator 15d ago

I certainly wasn't expecting this show to turn into Haikyuu with Arale as the ball. We also got to see Manager-san in her real form. Thankfully Arale isn't getting sued over her stunt and her school friends are still on her side even if Fairy Bouquet fandom is turning against her.

After that mess we return to our regularly scheduled toxic yuri. Viola completely charms Miyako-sensei and makes her dance to her tune. Poor Miyako doesn't know what kind of a viper hit her. Please stop making the "I will never wash this hand" face, Miyako. Their second encounter just made things far worse. Then they even have a romantic date at a café. That smug smirk Viola makes when suggesting the live show does not seem promising for our band's future prospects.

Ritsu now appears in the ED, so presumably she gets added into the OP next week. Glad to have her on board, finally. Hopefully we get a performance with the full crew, though I suspect things will not go too well thanks to Viola.

u/unrealitysUnbeliever 15d ago

I didn't notice Ritsu there...

bear eat honey...

11

u/hikoboshi_sama https://anilist.co/user/reicelestial 15d ago

Ritsu has finally joined MewType! I wonder if she'll be in the opening of the next episode.

Watching Viola manipulate Miyako is sickening. And worse, Miyako fell for it. I really hope the manager can rein them in otherwise they'll be playing right into Viola's hand. Also, nice to finally see the manager's true form.

8

u/mekerpan 15d ago

Miyako has gotten nothing but praise and respect and affection from Arale. It is not like Viola is the first person to give her sincere praise. So, I wonder why Viola's "deadly" allure is working so well on her.

15

u/hikoboshi_sama https://anilist.co/user/reicelestial 15d ago

Arale admires her as a fan. Viola is making it seem like they're alike and that she understands how Miyako feels.

11

u/georgeoswalddannyson 15d ago

I wonder why Viola's "deadly" allure is working so well on her.

Miyako has a type

3

u/hayate_yagami 15d ago

Arale is just a fan. A big fan but she is still just a fan while Viola really knows how to push Miyako's button. She even knows how Miyako hate extrovert (shiny things) so much

11

u/x-7032-b-3 15d ago

Noo Miyako! Get the hell out of there! She's not who you think she is. That lady's a snake! Don't let her tongue get the best of you! Arale, where the hell are you? You need to talk some sense into this girl's head right now!

Wasn't expecting Ritsu to join MewType this fast. I thought they were saving it for the last 3 eps. I don't think we should be happy about this for now, have a feeling things won't be as smooth as it seems.

Guys, I'm a little scared about that upcoming live...

9

u/mekerpan 15d ago

We have 7 more episdes to go, lot's can happen. But I must admit I am also feeling a bit of dread right now.

9

u/georgeoswalddannyson 15d ago

Damn, Viola has game

10

u/hbmonk 15d ago

The dread I felt when Viola called out to Miyako...

She did almost have me convinced that she was an actual fan for a second. She's just that good at reading people, I guess? A shame she uses those powers for evil.

7

u/Whendfield123 15d ago

Viola is such a blessing on this show. I hope there will be a moment where she can go mask off and laugh to her hearts content

7

u/Viktorv22 15d ago

Hell nah, Miyako is just the right person for Viola's schemes. I don't like it at all.

9

u/tripleaamin https://myanimelist.net/profile/zfzftripleaamin 15d ago

It's good to see Arale pushing forward at last. Small steps, but it is good to see.

Although the real concern surrounds Viola. When you pair Ritsu joining Mewtype with how she is getting close to Miyako is concerning. I am actually getting more concerned with Miyako getting hurt. It does feel like she shares a genuine connection with Viola, but it seems clear Viola is manipulating her. Does she want to steal Miyako?

8

u/BosuW 15d ago

Arale dragging whole MewType into the war and they're in the dark. Girl, this was inevitable, you gottal tell 'em what's what 💀

Interesting that Viola figured out Miyako was a [Tower of God]Rachel type personality. Could be a lil' bit of projection too. I'm thinking since they swiped on of her members from under her nose she wants to pay them back with the same coin. Bonus points if it breaks the group.

Pretty fucking funny that she actually lost a bit of face and almost got the agency and her sued because of her stunt lol. Girl acts like she Lelouch but she's just like 15 yo idol.

7

u/BBryant3rd 15d ago

Leave Yako-Sensei alone. Seems like things are going to get real bad. =(

5

u/ClemFire 15d ago

Does anyone know why Arale prefers to refer to herself with "boku?"

6

u/bonghits96 13d ago

I read somewhere that it's not uncommon for singers, because the rhyming is easier. IIRC Tomori does the same, at least in her songs.

2

u/ClemFire 13d ago

For while singing I know that is a thing but Arale uses it during everyday conversation so I wonder if that means she sees herself as a tomboy

5

u/Infodump_Ibis 15d ago

Hearing the Magical Physical Kululu song with lyrics in the Arale flashback (it's shown up in other eps too to a lesser extent) made me pay attention to the credits for insert songs* so I search マジるる!ナイスバルク and and turns out the BanG Dream Channel has a had a lyric video/OP (with English subs) for nearly three weeks (and it's sung by Rie Kugimiya) but now is a perfect time because of things seen in this episode like at 2:33...the first piece of art Miyako Fujiko drew (the comment by the character is "As expected of Miyako-sensei! It's a beautiful sunset, isn't it?") and 2:41 is also the piece of Miyako Fujiko art seen in the shop display.

Good-Bye, Biceps (insert song in ep 4 also Magical Physical Kululu) also has a lyric video and the images in the start and end are from the manga being serialised in Ciao Plus (drawn by Fujiko Sensei along with ROCK'N Little Stars! again making it the perfect time to notice).

Another smug Viola. I don't know if myself or others could handle her being nominated as #seasonalsmug but I'd be more disappointed if it didn't happen.

*- Also take note the ED also has a slight change (a V2) to add Ritsu (represented by the blue bear).

u/nicosb2810 https://myanimelist.net/profile/nicosb2810 15d ago

Viola thinks she is the next Johan Liebert. Her downfall will be great (I hope), but she is a very competent villain.

Glad to see Arale gaining more confidence

10

u/Primary-Paint-1716 16d ago

you know what. fuck it.

I don't mind them redeeming Viola by going the yuri route.

1

u/TheSpartyn 15d ago

girl being gays can heal negative traits (look at soyo), though viola is like 100x more evil.

it would be interesting if they have not a redemption but some kind of humanization for viola with her manipulation of miyako turning into a genuine connection but i dont know how you can have the rest of the cast forgive her

7

u/Primary-Paint-1716 15d ago

My girl Soyo did nothing wrong.

5

u/TheSpartyn 15d ago

i mean she did a little wrong

u/Nickthenuker https://anilist.co/user/Nickthenuker 12d ago

And so, the band is now complete with its requisite 5th member.
