Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I\u2019m eager to return to Yuki Yuna is a Hero, after an episode that saw the other shoe plummeting to earth and leaving a devastating crater in its wake. As it turns out, the Taisha knew all along that our young heroes would be forced to fight again, that they would acquire lasting, debilitating injuries from this hero labor, and that they would eventually be reduced to utter dependency, as one after another of their limbs or senses were sacrificed as offerings to the Divine Tree. There are no old soldiers in this system; only used-up figures of worship, deified for sacrifices they never knew they were making.<\/span><\/p>\n

As horrible as this is for our girls on the ground, it\u2019s nonetheless a fascinating thematic turn, tethering Yuki Yuna\u2019s magical girl and martial elements together through their common thread: how both young women and old soldiers are misused by society, ostensibly venerated but often materially denied and despised. Like so many other eager young patriots, these girls\u2019 innocent love of their home has been turned against them, exploited for the sake of a system that consumes lives and produces martyrs, all to ensure the next wave of victims is properly motivated. It\u2019s a rich and deliciously cynical turn, and I\u2019m eager to see how our team responds to these shocking reveals. Let\u2019s get to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Episode 9<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In spite of everything, the town still looks as peaceful as ever. Grey skies hang over watercolor fields and farms that once promised normalcy and safety, but which now provide a bitter contrast with the assumed fates of our heroes<\/span><\/p>\n

The first to learn the truth is of course their leader Fu. God, I wonder how Karin\u2019s going to take it, or if she\u2019ll even accept it as true<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSo we\u2019re not going to get better?\u201d Whether your scars are physical or mental, this seems to be the inescapable truth of war: it always takes something from you, always leaves an unfillable absence in its wake<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Man, really wasn\u2019t expecting Togo\u2019s goofy war otaku affectation to be foreshadowing these reflections on the use of propaganda and inescapable costs of war. I underestimated you, Yuki Yuna!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThose Who Know Grief\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fu advises them not to frighten the others until they know for sure. And then, of course, the rain begins to fall, our heroes\u2019 grief cast upon the world at large<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe others haven\u2019t been here with you lately.\u201d As a news report speaks of more \u201cnatural\u201d environmental damage presumably caused by the vertexes, the server at the gang\u2019s usual restaurant remarks on their increasing dissolution. Like the scenery outside, another icon of normalcy that now only highlights how much things have changed<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be like \u2018waah\u2019 and transfer my girl power to them!\u201d As always, Fu provides an exaggerated performance of cheer to keep things upbeat<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then, when my friends get all better\u2026 we\u2019ll all come by again.\u201d Even her attempts at cheer end up reminding her that nothing will ever be the same again<\/span><\/p>\n

Back at school, Itsuki turns down her friends\u2019 offer to hang out, telling Fu that they actually like karaoke. What a knife in the gut, that one – Itsuki had just gained the confidence to sing, just gained control of her own voice, and then immediately had it stolen by the responsibilities Fu forced upon her. How can she tell her sister that this will now last forever?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Though Itsuki smiles, it\u2019s clear she now sees herself as a burden to the people around her, which of course weighs on Fu in turn<\/span><\/p>\n

And then Itsuki\u2019s teacher takes Fu aside, discussing how Itsuki\u2019s condition is affecting her ability to engage in the curriculum. All these painful, mundane consequences of their glorious triumph in battle – that conflict lasted for mere minutes, but its scars will impact their lives forever. Love how the show\u2019s prioritizing all these second-order effects, the things you might not consider in the heat of battle<\/span><\/p>\n

Also appreciate this episode\u2019s distinct use of sound design – namely, its intentional lack of any background music, and muted sound cues. In a general sense, the lack of music offering distraction or tonal signifiers creates a greater sense of vulnerability or immediacy – our interactions with the characters are unmediated by distancing dramatic cues. And in a more specific sense, cutting the music further emphasizes the silence of the Inubozaki household, which was previously filled with the conversation of Itsuki and Fu<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019d better carry an umbrella in your bag. You never know when it might rain.\u201d Fu does her best to both keep up the conversation and maintain her position as guardian, even as she\u2019s secretly lamenting her absolute failure to keep Itsuki safe<\/span><\/p>\n

Itsuki further attempts to lighten the mood by referring to things they still have to look forward to, like the school festival performance. But this too has been tainted by their hero duties, as Itsuki can no longer take any speaking role. None of this is going to go away, and nothing will be easy from here out<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sure it\u2019ll come back before the Culture Festival.\u201d And she ultimately resorts to straight-up lying, offering a comforting hope that will only make eventually revealing what she now knows all the harder<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll definitely improve. I mean, we haven\u2019t done anything wrong.\u201d Could the world be this senseless? Could our leaders be so heartless? Fu is learning the cold truth that awaits so many returning soldiers<\/span><\/p>\n

And still the Taisha offers no response<\/span><\/p>\n

Togo calls Yuna and Fu to her house to reveal that something else Nogi told them was also true: they cannot die, or even cause harm to themselves<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOver these past days, I\u2019ve attempted suicide over ten times.\u201d So was she just experimenting, or was this initially her chosen response to learning the Taisha only ever needed them for fuel? Togo obviously does not clarify<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fairies act without regard to our will.\u201d The fairies are not accommodating familiars, they are their jailers, tasked with ensuring they don\u2019t hurt themselves before they can be sacrificed for the Divine Tree<\/span><\/p>\n

Yep, Togo suspects the same – and given that\u2019s the case, it\u2019s fair to assume Nogi\u2019s other proclamations are also true, and their injuries will never subside<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were kept in the dark and deceived.\u201d Togo is the first to grasp the full implications of Nogi\u2019s words, the Taisha\u2019s complicity in this cycle<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And with Togo having declared it, it at last becomes real to Fu – both the reality that Itsuki\u2019s voice is never coming back, and the ensuing understanding that it was all her fault, all because she let Itsuki join the hero club<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than answer Fu\u2019s question, the Taisha instead leans on Karin, telling her that \u201cthe others are psychologically unstable.\u201d Of course it would exploit her passion<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh my god, it\u2019s so cruel. Fu receives a call from a music production company, announcing that Itsuki has passed her vocal auditions. The life she had planned for herself is awaiting her, but she cannot pursue it, having had the vehicle of her dreams stolen by her loyalty to her sister<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In Itsuki\u2019s empty room, Fu finds a list of things her sister wants to do when she gets her voice back, alongside research for a variety of methods to restore your voice. She hasn\u2019t given up hope at all, but Fu alone understands that her cause is hopeless. This goddamn show!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBy working towards becoming a singer, I want to find my own way to live my life. I have an older sister whom I love very much. She\u2019s strong and independent. Everyone always looks to her as a leader.\u201d By following her sister into the hero club, Itsuki lost her route to independence, to claiming for herself the pride she feels in having Fu as a sister<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI want to have my own dream. I want to live my own life. That\u2019s why I\u2019m aiming to become a singer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Itsuki\u2019s proud reflections on how much she\u2019s grown because of the Hero Club are contrasted against the Taisha\u2019s sterile response, promising Fu that they have every expectation of a successful recovery. Even their bonds as sisters and friends were exploited, used to usher them towards this cruel sacrifice<\/span><\/p>\n

A brutally convincing expression of grief as Fu grapples with what she\u2019s done, stumbling across the room and breaking into tears as Itsuki\u2019s audition begins. This episode isn\u2019t fair at all!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI hope these days go on forever.\u201d Even Itsuki\u2019s song is about the joy she found in the Hero\u2019s Club<\/span><\/p>\n

And thus Fu rushes off to destroy the Taisha, with Karin swiftly pursuing her, all under the warm glow of Itsuki\u2019s song of friendship. Everything\u2019s fine, everything\u2019s great, we\u2019re going to get through this<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cIs this what we get for saving the world!?\u201d With Fu completely lost in her anger, Yuna dives in to protect Karin<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEven if we\u2019d known about the after-effects, we still would have fought in the end!\u201d Yuna at last truly proving her heroism, acknowledging she was always willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of others. Many might have to be insincerely compelled, but not Yuna<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut if I\u2019d known, I would never have dragged you all into this!\u201d Fu is the most angry at herself; she can accept her own sacrifices, but cannot forgive herself for allowing Itsuki and the others to come to harm on her account<\/span><\/p>\n

In the end, it is of course Itsuki who Fu is fighting for, and thus only Itsuki who can forgive her, and halt this senseless violence<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

How dare you, Yuki Yuna! This show has gotten me at last, with Itsuki\u2019s embrace and Fu\u2019s shuddering sobs bringing me to tears as well. To say nothing of that incredible sound design – in retrospect, the relative silence of this episode\u2019s first half feels all the more impactful, with the entire episode essentially constructed around the performance of Itsuki\u2019s final song. The ED even serves as a eulogy for her ambitions, now directly contextualized as Itsuki singing to the group who inspired her confidence, her dream. How the passion of the young, their sincere desire to do right by each other and the home they love, can be ruthlessly exploited by this world\u2019s alleged caretakers\u2026 Yuki Yuna has at last revealed its true nature, and left me sniffling at the poignance and cruelty of it all. I agree with Fu! Down with the Taisha!<\/span><\/p>\n
