Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today I\u2019m thinking it\u2019s about time to check back in on the continuing trials of Yuki Yuna, as the Hero Club celebrates their recent domestication of transfer student-slash-Divine Tree guardian Karin Miyoshi. In spite of her efforts to live a life of spartan dedication to her martial duties, Karin was unable to resist the charms of her new companions, and was last seen sharing in the celebration of her recent birthday. I\u2019m sorry Karin, but this show\u2019s slice of life predilections are at least as significant as its action ones, thus there\u2019s simply no way you\u2019re avoiding a lot of snacks and club meetings.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Karin now integrated into the overall group dynamic, I suspect we\u2019ll be turning back to matters of Divine Tree defense, and am curious to see what new wrinkles this narrative phase might provide. Outside of the understandable tension provided by Fu unilaterally conscripting her friends into a deadly supernatural battle, our cast have so far been largely unchallenged and on the same page regarding their current circumstances, so I suspect complications will be arriving soon. Let\u2019s see what Uezu has in store for our heroes as the battle for the Divine Tree continues!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Episode 4<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We open on a music lesson, with the anxious Itsuki being called to perform in front of the class. Itsuki\u2019s certainly the group member who could most use some personal development, as she\u2019s so far been characterized mostly as her sister\u2019s loyal subordinate. All of the others have chosen to fight of their own volition; Itsuki is still just following the group<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a bit anxious about singing in front of others.\u201d An easy stand-in for her general reluctance to take initiative or draw attention to herself<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a little surprised that Karin still hasn\u2019t been added to the OP. Interesting<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cShining Hearts.\u201d An episode title too applicable to basically any magical girl drama to give us any clues<\/span><\/p>\n

The episode proper pans in on Gyuki, one of the best-named familiars I\u2019ve come across<\/span><\/p>\n

Holy shit, their website is receiving over ten thousand views a day. How many people even live in their town? I can\u2019t imagine their hero club activities are of national interest<\/span><\/p>\n

Ah, I see, they\u2019re juicing the numbers with adorable kitten pictures. I should really consider that tactic myself, adding some daily Eevee pictures to the blog<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The group are already assigning Karin goofy nicknames, a fine illustration of her comfortable integration into their conversational dynamic<\/span><\/p>\n

Itsuki uses her tarot cards to predict how she\u2019ll do on her singing test, and sees only Death in her future. The tarot cards also seem to reflect Itsuki\u2019s generally hesitant nature – she relies on them much like she relies on her sister, letting others dictate her path so she doesn\u2019t have to embrace the frightful prospect of taking center stage and being responsible for her destiny<\/span><\/p>\n

Fu, of course, is utterly unbothered by such predictions<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nice array of expressions as they all react to her drawing Death four times in a row – I particularly like how Togo is clearly just amused by this whole situation, but trying not to laugh outright<\/span><\/p>\n

And thus the club decides to help Itsuki pass her singing test<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cItsuki\u2019s a pretty good singer when she\u2019s alone.\u201d Clearly framing this conflict as not about her singing ability, but her confidence in taking the lead<\/span><\/p>\n

At karaoke practice, Yuna attempts to cajole Karin into a duet in order to further their bond, but Fu has a better idea: play into Karin\u2019s clearly competitive nature<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tomoyo Kurosawa putting some good work in conveying Itsuki\u2019s awkwardly wavering singing voice<\/span><\/p>\n

Togo\u2019s song is of course a martial anthem. Seems clear enough at this point that she\u2019s just a military nerd<\/span><\/p>\n

Fu gets a message from the Taisha, telling her to \u201cexpect the worst.\u201d She retreats to the bathroom to collect herself, at which point Karin confronts her, stating that she\u2019s not well-suited to being a leader. Excellent, this is precisely the sort of thing I was hoping for – some genuine uncertainty from our heretofore unflappable leader, as well as some tension in the group. \u201cThe protagonists ably rise to every challenge they face without fear or complaint\u201d doesn\u2019t really make for thrilling drama<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a junior, <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> should be following <\/span>me<\/span><\/i>.\u201d And Fu\u2019s response doesn\u2019t really address the heart of Karin\u2019s complaint. Between this and Fu\u2019s initial concealing of the Hero Club\u2019s true nature, it seems clear that Fu <\/span>isn\u2019t<\/span><\/i> actually a good leader – she conceals too much, doesn\u2019t really trust her teammates, and was only able to pull this team together because Itsuki trusts her utterly, Togo feels obligated to defend their island, and Yuna is too happy-go-lucky to feel the weight of their responsibility<\/span><\/p>\n

As the group discusses karaoke on their way home, it\u2019s clear that Fu again declined to share this warning with her friends. Her suggestion that Itsuki \u201cjust needs to study a bit more\u201d rings hollow when she clearly doesn\u2019t believe in her sister enough to share this key information<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The next day, Karin arrives with a bunch of throat-assisting supplements. Perhaps going overboard, but she\u2019s at least taking direct actions to help Itsuki, unlike Fu<\/span><\/p>\n

We witness a flashback to elementary school, when a \u201cgroup of strangers\u201d arrived at the sisters\u2019 house, and apparently informed them that their parents had died. The masks worn by these strangers make me wonder if their deaths had something to do with the Divine Tree, and if this was when Fu was forced to take on their duties. This also goes some distance in explaining why Fu is the way she is – she\u2019s had to be both Itsuki\u2019s sister and mother for years, so she\u2019s accustomed to shouldering difficult truths, which likely makes it harder to share her burdens with those who rely on her<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cHer back became the safest place in the world to me.\u201d Kinda explains both of them, really<\/span><\/p>\n

And of course, Itsuki now feels guilty that she\u2019s unable to share Fu\u2019s burdens<\/span><\/p>\n

Lovely, gentle domestic scene as Fu prepares breakfast for the two of them, prompting Itsuki to again realize how much her sister protects her<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou always have a hard time looking after me.\u201d \u201cWell, I have my own reasons. To put it bluntly, I have to maintain world peace. We\u2019re heroes, after all.\u201d An exceedingly strange way to phrase her obligation to support her sister<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cReasons don\u2019t matter, as long as you can work towards them.\u201d This explanation also just confuses Itsuki, making her wonder if there\u2019s been any greater purpose in her following her sister. Most people have to believe in what they\u2019re pursuing to find meaning and conviction, but Fu frames everything as an arbitrary obligation – \u201cI have to do this because I have to do it\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have any reasons for anything\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Seems Karin has some general difficulty with map directions<\/span><\/p>\n

Fu and Itsuki arrive at the current caretakers of one of their kittens, only to find the young girl hosting him doesn\u2019t want to give him up to his new family. Fu says not to worry, and that she\u2019ll handle it<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The girl\u2019s protests prompt some reflection from Fu – that she too should have fought for her sister, rather than allow Itsuki to become a hero<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, this sort of shared responsibility is exactly what Itsuki has been hoping for. A very clean way of connecting their current duties to their long-standing dynamic<\/span><\/p>\n

At the singing test, Itsuki discovers a note of encouragement left by all her clubmates. Just as the memories of karaoke fueled her private practice, so do their words of encouragement help her now<\/span><\/p>\n

And in the end, her success prompts a desire to actually become a singer – a goal all her own, and one she decides to keep secret from her sister, thereby further establishing her independence<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

Damn, that was an excellent episode! And we didn\u2019t even need to dig any deeper into the show\u2019s supernatural conflict – just by more closely observing the relationship between Fu and Itsuki, Yuki Yuna was able to deliver a poignant and multifaceted slice of character drama, while enriching our understanding of both the sisters. I particularly like how their issues weren\u2019t neatly tied up and resolved; this was a key moment for Itsuki learning to express herself, but her ultimate success came from a realization that it\u2019s perfectly okay to find your strength in the people around you, while Fu\u2019s efforts to help and protect her sister were well-intended but frequently misguided and self-defeating. We\u2019re teasing out some welcome subtleties in the group\u2019s characterization, and simultaneously planting seeds for future issues regarding Fu\u2019s questionable approach to leadership. A thoughtful and very welcome installment!<\/span><\/p>\n
