Hello folks, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Today it seems like we\u2019re past due for a check-in on Yuki Yuna and her brave companions in the Hero Club, as they continue to fend off all who would do harm to the Divine Tree. In spite of lacking any high-tension battle scenes, Yuki Yuna\u2019s last episode was undoubtedly my favorite so far, as its exploration of Fu and Itsuki\u2019s unequal yet cherished bond felt thoughtful and convincingly true-to-life, grounding the generalities of the show\u2019s genre structure in the specificities of one family\u2019s circumstances. Believing in the distinct humanity of a show\u2019s characters is what elevates sterile narrative beats into emotionally resonant drama, and episode four did a fine job of convincingly articulating that humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting all this personal context was well appreciated, but judging by episode four\u2019s dramatic stinger, the time for singing lessons and cat-ferrying assignments is now behind us. As expected, the death of the sisters\u2019 parents was revealed to be linked to the vertexes, meaning Fu has ultimately dragged her classmates into a mission of personal revenge. Between that, her existing issues with leadership, and the ominous flipping of Itsuki\u2019s death card, I expect some troubled times ahead for our young heroes. Let\u2019s get to it!<\/span><\/p>\n

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

Episode 5<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are seven left. And it looks like they\u2019re all here.\u201d Oh man, what an intriguing play on convention. These creatures have already been messing with the usual monster-of-the-week formula, but having the entire enemy squad appear in unison even before the show\u2019s halfway point is something else entirely. A choice like that seems like it\u2019s intentionally playing off the audience\u2019s understanding of seasonal structure – it prompts an immediate question of \u201cif they\u2019re all here now, what could possibly come next?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis\u2019ll be so satisfying I\u2019m going to need more supplements.\u201d Karin solidifying her reputation as the endearing kind of health nut. You\u2019d think more magical girls would be like this!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ever-attuned to the group\u2019s emotions, Yuna tickles Itsuki to help her calm down<\/span><\/p>\n

Karin\u2019s transformation sequence is confident and aggressive, just like her. Rather than beauty or elegance, it focuses on her carefully practiced sword maneuvers<\/span><\/p>\n

We run through a montage of all their other transformation sequences, which in magical girl parlance generally means they\u2019re using bank footage to fill in an episode that\u2019s otherwise going to be particularly impressive animation-wise. It\u2019s an economically essential distribution of resources that\u2019s essentially become its own sort of medium-specific form of meta-foreshadowing; after watching a thousand episodes of One Piece, my brain instinctively responds to a lightly animated first episode half by thinking \u201cman, they are saving up for some <\/span>madness<\/span><\/i> in the second half\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Their seven opponents make for a distinctive and disquietingly alien collective, their lack of humanoid bodies or facial features emphasizing that there can be no mutual understanding or negotiation with these creatures. There\u2019s a reason Ramiel is one of the most iconic Eva designs<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf we get through this, I\u2019ll buy us a meal!\u201d Fu\u2019s paltry encouragement only emphasizes how they\u2019re still treating this as an extension of their school club activities, not a genuinely life-or-death situation<\/span><\/p>\n

The first enemy goes down quickly, but Togo suspects a trap. And right on cue, a massive vertex begins ringing a bell at its peak, overwhelming the senses of our frontline fighters<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the sisters perform a combined attack pushing back the front line, the enemies retreat and combine, four of them fusing into some kind of bizarre superstructure<\/span><\/p>\n

As expected, lots of nice action choreography, and particularly some generously fluid, voluminous effects animation for the explosions and dust clouds raised by the enemy\u2019s attacks<\/span><\/p>\n

In spite of these opponents\u2019 ambiguous, versatile nature, I appreciate how the show continues to set up clear patterns of enemy attack that demand specific, inventive solutions. You can actually feel a sense of strategic progression across these fights, as specific enemy attacks are met with uniqu<\/span>e counters, prompting the enemy to adjust their tactics accordingly<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The team is swiftly overwhelmed by this combined menace, and the creature continues its path towards the Divine Tree. Another idea that feels reminiscent of Evangelion – the way these beasts move slowly, inexorably towards their destined point of oblivion, seemingly indifferent to anything that does not directly inhibit their path. It\u2019s a great way to make our heroes feel that much smaller, like they\u2019re ants attempting to inhibit the movements of gods<\/span><\/p>\n

Determined not to fail the people she\u2019s drawn into this mess, Fu calls on all her energy at once<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s\u2026 blooming.\u201d Karin ties this powerup directly to the show\u2019s persistent flower and nature imagery – she is a flower blooming in defense of the divine tree. Of course \u201cflowers blooming\u201d also has its own separate connotation in the context of girls\u2019 coming-of-age stories<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Togo transforms as well. Their second forms also make them look all the more like priestesses or shrine maidens, cloaked in layers of white ceremonial robes with a vast halo behind them<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey always die so strangely\u2026\u201d The deaths of these vertexes is visually portrayed as close to the opposite of our heroes\u2019 powerups – the vertexes erupt in fountains of rainbow light, while the heroes draw rainbows of light downwards to infuse them, seeming to imply they\u2019re exploiting a common energy source. Also, both processes echo how roots extend outwards from a tree, perhaps quietly implying a further connection between both sides and the divine tree<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The motes of fire that are combining into this larger attack are interesting – not CG animation, but so fluid that they don\u2019t appear to have any linework, either. I wonder if this was the effects animation that Kou Yoshinari was consulted for? Those brothers are often responsible when it comes to animation that doesn\u2019t look like humans could have actually animated it<\/span><\/p>\n

Also just a nice mix of filters and smoke animation to create a proper sense of bedlam as this giant fireball pushes down on our heroes<\/span><\/p>\n

The core of this combined vertex is even larger than the monster itself, its form extending backwards all the way into space<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter how big it is, I\u2019m not going to give up. That\u2019s what it means to be a hero, isn\u2019t it?\u201d Yuna embodying the true spirit of anime heroes, embracing that dash of obstinate stupidity that always seems to bolster their confidence. From Goku to Hibiki and beyond, anime\u2019s most persistent heroes have always been kinda stupid<\/span><\/p>\n

I suppose you could more charitably define it as \u201coptimism in spite of all possible obstacles,\u201d which is definitely a spirit I can relate to. My favorite stories tend to champion hope in the face of a fundamentally hopeless world; it\u2019s why I find Madoka so inspiring, because it acknowledges just how bad things are and preaches hope in spite of that, rather than just assuming the world is kinder than it is<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOur sealing power\u2019s going to run out!\u201d Not sure this further clock is necessary, but it certainly bolsters the Eva vibes<\/span><\/p>\n

Nice mix of CG and traditional animation as Togo and Yuna charge the giant core. CG is often useful for emphasizing a sense of scale between opponents of wildly different sizes – Land of the Lustrous employed it to similar effect<\/span><\/p>\n

Also effective cut to silence as the two exchange some final words<\/span><\/p>\n

Yuna\u2019s mankai form just gives her even bigger robo-fists to punch with. Truly embodying that Hibiki spirit<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Damn, some fantastic compositions and color design as Yuna smashes through the core<\/span><\/p>\n

Bathed in rainbow light, Yuna falls back towards Togo like a star falling to earth<\/span><\/p>\n

Their fond, regretful exchange really feels like some end-of-season stuff. Intensely curious as to where we go from here<\/span><\/p>\n

Itsuki uses the last of her strength to create a sequence of nets for their craft to soften its landing. Again appreciating this show\u2019s smart application of its distinct powers<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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

You\u2019ve done it, heroes! Through pluck, teamwork, and endless determination, you defeated all twelve vertexes, and ensured the survival of the Divine Tree! Only problem is, we\u2019re actually just five episodes into the first season of your story, meaning this whole divine protector situation clearly involves some as-yet unmentioned fine print. I\u2019m quite curious to see how exactly this production moves beyond its own premise, but as for now, I\u2019m also plenty satisfied by the energetic mix of tactical ingenuity and just-plain-impressive flourishes of animation provided by this episode\u2019s bombastic not-finale. The production went above and beyond to ensure this really felt like a climactic victory, leaving both heroes and audience staring out at a vast, unknown horizon. Next episode can\u2019t come soon enough!<\/span><\/p>\n
