It's back to business again at work with numbers, data, analysis, etc.

One thing I like what Gaku is doing in the second half of this season and this episode is anticipating events before results. They got all the main members together. Haven't really seen this Sakura guy already but he made his presence known. Crazy amount of work this episode.

Hebejima may have the data and the results to back his game design philsophy up but I can't help but respect Sakura's relentless devotion to heart above anything else.

While Haru may be taking a back seat from the spotlight lately, just getting even a glimpse of him suddenly has that much more impact now.

The actual creator of DragonMusume comes to fill the niche of the greedy one with Haru gone. Given DragonBank doesn't credit creators like him, he seeks a high salary from Trillion Game. Despite that, Sakura needs to work with him no matter what.
He's convinced to make a game with them after learning an indie game he's heard of was made by Sakura's dev team, but he totally misinterpreted the news of Trillion Buying God Promotion and thought they were loaded.
Development montage; even though he and Sakura are polar opposites they find a way to make it work (as Gaku once worked with Haru) but once it's over, Rinrin has to break down their financial situation to him.
Haru over at God Promo can afford to pay his salary though, he's been steps ahead of Gaku this whole time, letting him grow but still supporting him in ways.

Well, Haru it seems will be returning next week. Weird that he helped them. But maybe not. I thought they were rivals now, but maybe he still thinks of Gaku as a junior partner or a friend.

I'm honestly not surprised if Haru actually understands how Gaku felt about the whole action camera situation and deliberately made him investigate the true creator of the Dragon Warriors Girls series.

In the end, Haru to the rescue lol. I was so sure he will not let Gaku suffer on his own, what a good buddy / business partner he is.

Seeing Haru's face again full of that serene confidence nearly had me in tears. You can't underestimate his genius he probably had it all mapped out what would happen.
I'm actually in awe of Madhouse for broadcasting 2 near masterpieces simultaneously. Love this show it absolutely has heart.

The Dragon Musume creator is sure a special one lol and he loves his money, maybe too much as he stole Dragon Bank to have a "decent" salary ahah but it's true that they need to pay the creators for their value, anyway now Haru saved the day once again even though we didn't see him during the whole episode but he's the one who recruited him at God Pro to actually give him the salary they couldn't give him at Trillion Game :)

The actual creator of Dragon Musume being a middle-aged dope, I wonder if he's to be trusted for Gaku and company.

Meeting this regular Dragon Bank employee of Hebijima looks rather random, and turns out that he is a stellar dude who is all about bleeding money and economics at a staggering 180 mil/year. But why would he want people poaching him, is something that Sakura knows all too well being in the same industry once and leaving Hebijima ultimately being ripped off for less than what he hoped for. embezzling Dragon Bank's money for his own. To that extent, Sakura chasing to seek Hebijima to reconsider, and surely enough, they'd be paying his 180 mil worth once their game goes out, and gacha is his passion to rake in the cash, even if they butt heads over disagreements.

Indeed, Hebijima putting out his Dragon Musume KPI sheet to give a broad reality on how to make their game succeed, and Sakura's old game may not look like much, but with the right changes, it can become profitable. And that's exactly what he intends to bring the pop aesthetic to the game, whilst making his dream come true...except that Rinrin has to break the news to him of their true monetary value, leaving Hebijima in disappointment, yet feeling motivated than before...except that he became part of God Promo instead, thanks to Haru's intervention.

Where has Haru been all this while then?

Surprised they didn't just offer Hebijima a percentage of the game sales profit.
