| Hiyori fought with her heart this episode as Teruto didn't take it easy. Not going to lie, this was a showcase of not only her skills but also determination. It might be her toughest match to date yet. Respect to both of them for having a well-fought match. |
 |
| The role reversal: Teruto and Hiyori, the new sacrificial King of Neo Kyoto vs. his own apprentice, and Teruto in the guise of darkness, amplifies his power by abnormality that Hiyori couldn't beat. But Hiyori, she brought all her skills to the table to defeat the clone, the style she knows as Teruto had taught her how to save him out of his ordeal, a culmination of everything she's fought for, for this moment alone. Sakura also makes a return for a reunion, though how she returned is also through Teruto. A fitting reunion, for the trio's last fight against Mario Higuma. |

| I’m so happy for Hiyori omg she deserved this moment. After playing second fiddle to Teruto and Sakura in season 1 she finally gets her own moment to shine and frees both of them. That battle was really intense, by far the best of the series. Evil Teruto’s eyes were nightmare fuel. Now the real fight against Higuma starts tho. Should be a fun conclusion |

| I'm going to go against the grain here and state my dislike for this episode in particular. Not only is it a pretty big copout to go "It's not Teruto battling but the server!" despite this not being how Kikka worked either, but everything regarding Sakura this episode was utter nonsense. Like, I was under the impression Sakura was a part of Kikka that got shed off, right? That was the drama with her last season, and the drama of this season when Kikka needed to live with the guilt of depriving Hiyori of Sakura. Sakura should've been rejoined with Kikka, so it makes incredibly little sense to go "actually she was alive all along and just stored inside the supercomputer". Even if we accept she was, can anyone explain to me why Sakura seemed to have admin-level access to the program? Y'know, with forcefully logging Hiyori into and out of the main computer, guiding her actions with sakura petals; the works. It's just such a lazy chain of events that doesn't seem to follow any kind of consistent logic in the setting, and we're supposed to just accept all this because it made adorable baby chick girl smile? Don't get me wrong, I adore Hiyori as much as the next person, but this is just lazy writing through and through. I find Sakura's revival even more insulting when you consider Kikka in all of this, because Kikka had JUST come to terms with the whole ordeal and even decided to start wearing Sakura's hairpin as a memento... and now all of that is for naught as the girl's just brought back anyway. No, I don't think this is a good episode. Not even a little. |
| I just can't get over how damn good this show is. Even if this wasn't the true Hiyori vs. Teruto battle that we wanted (since this Teruto turned out to be a fake created by the control center of the Neo Kyoto server itself) this episode was still amazing and every part of it was executed so well. The early part of the battle and the build-up was fantastic. Hiyori's first shot trigger going off at a point where the effect was useless combined with not-Teruto calling her struggle "pointless" was a good way to shake her confidence. Then the Divine Messenger shot trigger (very clever) and the sakura petal leading the way were great ways to get her mind back on track, and the final sequence of her winning the battle was just incredible both visually and emotionally. The reunion with the real Teruto was great too, and Sakura coming back actually made me jump out of my chair in surprise. I realize that they teased it with the sakura petal earlier, but I thought that was just another "remembering good times with your friends to give yourself a mental boost" moment and not a sign that she was actually coming back. It seems so obvious now, but seeing her again blew me away. Based on the preview, it sounded like Teruto might be the one battling Higuma next week, and I'm so excited for the last two episodes of this season/series. |

No, I don't think this is a good episode. Not even a little. Fully agreed. Bad writing by the team, just to please fans that wanted those two back. Plot hole at its best |

| The gang is back. I like how Hiyori confirmed it wasn't the real Teruto by asking him about his love for bread. |
