Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I\u2019d like to return to a story I\u2019ve left hanging for far too long, as we continue our exploration of the harrowing and transcendent Wonder Egg Priority. I frankly would have returned much sooner, but the discussions surrounding the show turned pretty toxic by the end of its original run, migrating into that frustrating realm of condemning people for the stories they enjoy. Discussions like that were what prompted me to limit my engagement with online arguments in the first place, so I promptly removed my hand from the stove, waiting for the heat to dissipate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, no one talks about Wonder Egg Priority these days, so I\u2019m happy to finally be returning. When last we left off, Momoe\u2019s anxieties about her gender presentation had just been assuaged by her fast friendship with Kaoru, her latest wonder egg project. Unfortunately, her victory was cut short by the appearance of a mysterious butterfly-headed girl, who promptly killed Momoe\u2019s familiar Panic. With Momoe\u2019s latest victory having also released the girl she\u2019d long been fighting for, and the machinations of Acca and Ura-Acca coming into focus, it seems like the time for episodic adventures has ended, and the time of painful revelation is at hand. Let\u2019s see what awaits in our next Wonder Egg Priority!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Episode 10<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAn Adult Child.\u201d An episode title with transparently ominous undertones, particularly in the context of this show. Sawaki in particular is constantly framing Ai as an \u201cadult child\u201d in the most predatory way possible, simultaneously playing up her innocence and growing maturity, the \u201clatent heat\u201d of his art exhibition. But in truth, that framing covers far more than just Sawaki – young women are constantly sexualized by society in ways beyond their control, simultaneously framed as innocent and pliable yet also sexually available, to the point where women are often \u201cblamed\u201d for \u201centicing\u201d men simply by existing in society. The villains of our various wonder egg trials have offered a rogue\u2019s gallery of men who feel wronged simply by the existence of someone who they are sexually attracted to yet who has no interest in validating them. Framing children as adults is a way of mitigating their natural sense of guilt or responsibility – their violent attractions are apparently less their own responsibility if these children \u201cknow what they are doing,\u201d so the innocence of childhood is erased<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We open with Rika also achieving her final victory, but having her longed-for friend slip through her fingers<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s okay. I\u2019ll see you on the other side.\u201d A loaded statement, reflecting Rika\u2019s happier relationship with life and death. She no longer desires to kill herself – she misses her friend, but that friend has simply gone on ahead for a little while, and Rika will see her on the other side<\/span><\/p>\n

And her familiar Mannen is the next to fall, killed by a dragonfly-headed girl who calls herself \u201cDot\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I\u2019m certainly seeing why faith in Wonder Egg\u2019s narrative was beginning to falter at this point. Graceful stories are generally both self-contained and self-reflective; their ends reflect their beginnings, their core components are established within the first act, and their resolution arrives as a natural extension or answer to their introduction. \u201cAnd then new villains appear three quarters of the way through\u201d is basically the opposite of all that, so I\u2019m hoping the explanation of these insect-girls tethers them more gracefully to the variables we\u2019re already grappling with<\/span><\/p>\n

Dot says she\u2019s \u201cjust following Hyphen,\u201d who\u2019s presumably the girl who confronted Momo. Their names frame them as not full people, merely punctuation in a sentence<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you laugh, it makes everyone happy. Frill said so\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Excellent frenetic linework as Dot approaches, Rika\u2019s panic clear in the detailed, wobbling lines of her expression<\/span><\/p>\n

Also nice use of Dot’s buzzing wings to raise the tension of the moment<\/span><\/p>\n

Back at the wonder egg garden, everything has been dyed a deep blue for the night, contrasting strongly with Ai\u2019s yellow hoodie. God, I\u2019d forgotten what an exceptional, creative visual identity this show has; it\u2019s just bursting with compelling visual ideas, from its monsters to its layouts to its color design<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s this phenomenal OP. \u201cAesthetically exuberant exploration of human psychology\u201d is my favorite anime subgenre, really what I think the medium might be best at, so I generally hold on tight whenever an Eva, Flip Flappers, or Monogatari come around<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside the house beside the garden, Ai finds a board of what seem like potential wonder egg targets, alongside clippings regarding the recent proliferation of young suicides<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOnly Warriors of Eros can defeat Thanatos?\u201d Though eros is normally defined as romantic love, it doesn\u2019t seem that\u2019s necessarily the case here, at least if the motivations guiding our quartet are anything to go by. Our heroes aren\u2019t necessarily in love with their lost friends, they\u2019d just do anything to protect them – thus, only a willingness to die for another can overcome the urge to erase yourself<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

She runs into Ura-Acca, who sets out a birthday cake. Everything in this world speaks to aging, to the moment of adolescent transition into young adulthood<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBack before we looked like this, we made a girl, just for fun.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Careful color design as we return to Acca and Ura-Acca\u2019s prior lives. The rooms they occupy are almost uniformly sterile gray – the only fragments of color are provided by the two themselves, in the forms of their pink and orange shirts<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat should we call her\u201d one asks, as the screen focuses on an \u201cAI strategy meeting\u201d board. That might be a clue, but I somehow doubt Ai is secretly an artificial intelligence<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cWe tried to picture a being that we could love like a daughter, that would make us forget it\u2019s an AI. Unstable and complicated, like the midpoint between childhood and adulthood.\u201d So they created a woman who embodies the liminal stage this show at large is preoccupied with, and presumably bad things resulted<\/span><\/p>\n

And that girl was Frill<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe gave her the traits a father would want a daughter to have.\u201d So Frill was even more of a prisoner than these two, with even her personality dictated by her \u201cparents.\u201d No wonder she sympathizes with the wonder egg participants, but hates the familiars these two provided them<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing uncontrollable is the essence of femininity.\u201d Like this show\u2019s episodic antagonists, Acca sees women as essentially animals to be tamed, their independence taken as an invitation to control them<\/span><\/p>\n

Then Acca and Ura-Acca meet a woman, the same woman from the pictures in their house<\/span><\/p>\n

Her name is Azusa Hoshina<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cShe seemed like a good person. But then, neither of us was a good judge of women.\u201d Yet you still had the confidence to actually design a woman\u2019s personality. Acca and Ura-Acca provide a fine complement to this show\u2019s more aggressively abusive, manipulative authority figures; they actually think of themselves as reasonable people, and they can integrate quite well into society, but they\u2019re still fundamentally driven by sexist notions of women being either unknowable or elemental, defined by a fundamental irrationality that they alternately see as charming or unserious<\/span><\/p>\n

Check out a sampling of films from the \u201840s and \u201850s and you\u2019ll see plenty of earnest articulations of this perspective: \u201cwomen can be charming, but they\u2019re not really adults.\u201d Through that framing, this episode\u2019s title gains an additional meaning – these male overseers\u2019 perspective on all women, as perpetual dependents who can be humored, but not fully respected<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It was apparently Azusa who invited them to the wonder egg house. Compositions directly mirror Ai\u2019s approach as Frill first arrives at the house<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAzusa chose Acca.\u201d Ura-Acca\u2019s very lack of commentary on this turn reveals his feelings clearly<\/span><\/p>\n

Frill\u2019s response is colder: \u201cdo you hate your husband for cheating on you, or the woman for stealing him from you?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Raised and literally programmed by these two, Frill can only see relationships in terms of power dynamics, of ownership and control. She announces she wants a friend, but also wants to design that friend herself, lest the friend actually be superior to her<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIn her own way, Frill might have been trying to redirect her jealousy of Azusa.\u201d And of course, that programming necessarily flatters Acca and Ura-Acca\u2019s oedipal view of parent-child relationships<\/span><\/p>\n

Azusa\u2019s pregnancy prompts both Acca and Ura-Acca to forget all about Frill. She was just a fun diversion to them, a project they embarked on just to see if they could succeed. No wonder she despises them and their new project alike<\/span><\/p>\n

So Frill lashes out at her replacement, killing Azusa. And in turn, she is treated like a failed project, not a daughter – Acca immediately abandons any pretense of respecting her identity, saying \u201call you\u2019re doing is detecting inputs\u201d as he roughly tosses her down the stairs. Women are to be tolerated until they cross the line; their personhood is conditional, and the condition is that they continue to flatter the men in their lives<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cNot the dark! Not the scary place!\u201d They literally bury her alive in a hole in the basement. Yeah, they deserve whatever\u2019s coming to them<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing that saved us was Himari, the daughter Azusa left behind.\u201d And even after that, they still see themselves as the victims! Still the sad put-upon men, failed by women, redeemed by a fresh woman who again embodies the qualities they\u2019ll allow<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you wait, I wouldn\u2019t mind marrying you.\u201d Raised by these two, their new daughter even comes to see herself as a replacement for the lost Azusa<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat night, Himari died. It looked like suicide, but there was no note.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Somehow, Frill conspired to arrange the suicide. \u201cAre you going to kill me?\u201d \u201cYou\u2019re not human.\u201d \u201cI am human! I\u2019m scared of the dark, and I get toothaches.\u201d Frill continues to embody their perspective on women, her humanity contingent on her remaining the perfect, idealized daughter. And she is still trapped within her subservience to Acca and Ura-Acca; rather than escape, she clings to their approval, destroying any competition for their love<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t pretend not to see me. I was born from the two of you.\u201d This backstory is actually doing precisely what I was hoping, tethering Frill\u2019s existence both into the mechanical story of Acca and Ura-Acca, as well as the thematic cycles of abuse that have created this generation of lost wonder egg girls. She is the first girl that our villains betrayed, framed as monstrous for her refusal to be simply an accessory in their lives, to be enjoyed or discarded at leisure. And presumably, she will be the last girl that our current heroes have to save, somehow breaking the thread that binds her to her fathers<\/span><\/p>\n

So the wonder egg system was set up in opposition to Frill<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And Done<\/b><\/p>\n

At last, the secrets are truly revealed! I was frankly expecting the worst from our Big Reveal episode after the unexpected addition of Frill, but this episode put my fears to rest and then some, positioning Frill as one more tragic consequence of Acca and Ura-Acca\u2019s selfishness. Their unwillingness to see Frill as a genuine person, and their wholesale abandonment of her once a new love entered the frame, neatly echoes the conditional, possessive infatuation that\u2019s characterized all of Wonder Egg\u2019s villains, the shallow worship of femininity that always gives way to an overbearing demand for control, and condemnation of whatever instincts fall outside of their idealized perspective. Frill might as well be one of Madoka\u2019s witches, unable to escape the societal condemnation that inevitably arrives when your will to suffer is extinguished, and you actually lash out in pursuit of your own desires. But through Acca and Ura-Acca\u2019s very inability to see their compatriots as full people, there is yet a hope – that Ai and Rika and all the others have been thoroughly underestimated, and that through their solidarity, they might overcome the scorn and hatred of this unjust world.<\/span><\/p>\n
