OMFG you people are almost as dense as Yuuta.

Satone was introduced to bring Rikka and Yuuta closer together. That was the whole point. They became closer than they were thanks to Satone; she was not irrelevant. Damn, that should be obvious. Anyways, it'll be sad to see her leave next episode.

We have Touka and Nibutani to do that.

The ending with her saying "bye bye" was pretty heartbreaking for some reason. It seems too final, and I guess reminds me that the show is ending next week. This was a great episode, lots or wrapping up of thoughts and feelings, all in a nice emotional package.

I have to agree that this season isn't as good as the first season, but its still a joy to watch! I wonder how they plan on ending this though...

Was I the only one who thought this episode felt a little too fast-paced? They just didn't seem to take the time to set an atmosphere and pushed the dialog (especially when they first talk about the blue moon). It felt like they needed to rush things a bit to get the story to the point they wanted it to be. It might only be me though.

After the impressive, emotional cliffhanger in the previous episode, I feel that this episode was a huge letdown. Not only did they quickly diffuse the atmosphere by having Sophia run away and cutting to Rikka's cold on the next day, but also the way she reconciled her feelings for Yuuta didn't make any sense at all. Challenging him to a fight and watching him find Rikka and summon the Dark Flame Dragon was interesting, but I don't see how it could lift all her stress.

On another note, Nibutani went full Dekomori on Yuuta rofl

Took the words out of my mouth. The follow-up as to what happens to Satone afterwards is weak, and the focus half the time is Yuuta and Rikka's relationship--echoing other people's sentiments, it pretty much invalidates Satone's character (which is sad because I've grown to like her quite a bit).

And no one gets over people that fast. Even if you're chuunibyou lol

I wonder how Yuuta's gonna react to her "byebye" in the next ep...

Well...that was a lame resolution :/

Maybe I'm being insensitive but the reactions and reasoning just felt so...stupid.
Especially that whole thing with reviving the 'Dark Flame Dragon' and how incredibly over-dramatised Rikka's little hunt was.
Sorry Rikka, I can't help but find your actions rather idiotic.

This episode just dropped my score from a 7 to a 6... or lower. It sure left a sour taste in my mouth.

Only thing I liked was Satone's 'bye bye'.
Even if her character didn't serve much of a purpose, she's still my favourite.

So she figured out she loved him, let him know how she feels, and got over it all in a matter of 3 episodes..

Would have enjoyed it more if they never introduced Satone, and just developed Yuuta x Rikka.

Ah well, Rikka's still cute without her eyepatch/contact.

I think people are seriously underestimating Satone's importance.

Without her, Yuuta and Rikka would never have gotten so far in their relationship as they have now. They'd still be at a standstill and the question would become more "when will they break up?", instead of "When are they gonna do something?"

I will agree that I expected more form her, but she fulfilled her purpose, so now she can disappear with a smile, probably never to be seen again. And that's fine with me.

I liked how Yuuta immediately realized what Satone wanted from him, and how he showed he didn't really feel much for her when he left her to find RIkka. Interesting how the tables turned on our two chuuni girls. First, Satone encouraged Rikka to fight her own inner demons to overcome that which held back her love for Yuuta, then Rikka returns the favor by awakening the Dark Flame Dragon and have Satone battle her own demons.

I guess a lot of people here got what they wanted: Satone left without proposing to Yuuta. But, since he knew what was on her mind, I don t think her actually confessing would have helped much anyway, as she knew right away he wasn't interested in her.

Hmm~ let me share what I think. I mean, you guys kept saying that Shichimiya is irrelevant but I don't really think so.

This is what I think:

Since the beginning, Rikka's mission had been to revive/bring out or whatever the Dark Flame Dragon. After they had that contract, I believe the purpose of bringing out the Dark Flame Dragon was to raise their contract/relationship to a higher level.

According to the memo shown in episode 11, the way to revive the Dark Flame Dragon was those three keys. Shichimiya had one of the keys. Yuuta gave it to her in middle school, and she gave the coin/key back on the class trip.

And well she did stir some jealousy [though I think she most effectively made Rikka jealous in the LN.]

So I believe she's relevant, because they were able to revive the Dark Flame Dragon because the keys were complete.

I actually think it's a good plot. I mean they wanna do it the chuunibyou way, let them be. I appreciate the anime.

Felt like a really lifeless episode. The whole season feels so forced in many instances... the chunibyou fights are as fun as ever, but the rest feels bland and boring to me. They should've stopped after the first season.

The bye-bye sounded like Shichimiya is planning to jump from the balcony as a suicide attempt. It was kind of ridiculous how Yuuta got so angry with Rikka about going outside with a cold. He seems more like an older brother than a boyfriend most of the time with her. Pretty disappointed with this season.

What is bye-bye suppose to mean?!
is she leaving the show?
Is she pushing him out of her heart?
Is she just going somewhere and saying bye-bye like a normal person? Though je-nai would have been said... chuunibyou may say bye bye.
Looking forward to the next episode.

Worst episode of this season. Everything was boring and the Rikka part wasn't really any better. I just hope to see some more romantic stuff (damn, just kiss already!) in the last ep, because Rikka didn't do anything beside being shy and jealous in Ren so far.

Agreed. Kumin's filler ep, Makoto's removal and the little screen time and development Satone was getting already droped to 7/6 points this season to me. But this is getting just worse. This went from 10 from season 1 to 6/5 this season.

Just my guess;
Remember episode 3:
Yuuta:"You never said bye or see you"
Satone: "Because that would mean we would have to part.The moment you say a word of parting, you've already parted"

Schimiya finished this with a "bye-bye". I guess we know what is going to happen next episode.

Nope, dunno what makes you think that.

It's just like it's written: a kiss wouldn't save this. That's it.

It would also have served a purpose.

Yuuta and Rikka already knew/acknowledged how they felt about each other, but that's not the case with Dekomori and Nibutani. XD

Well as much as I've liked Satone opposed to all the other characters in this show, she has been extremely irrelevant to the show and if she does leave the series next episode like I think she will it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

I don't think anything that happens next week can save what has been a pretty mediocre season in my mind.

This season has been just pure filler for entertainment. Yuuta, Rikka and co. has been reduced to just objects of fanservice to preserve the chuuni atmosphere from season 1. The only thing that possibly had development this season was Nibutani/Mori Summer. Considering how last episode set up such a good drama only for this episode to have it resolve in quick fashion, Satone was really an extremely unnecessary character for the season. (Although I like her.)

Still hovering between a 5 and a 6 for this season. Next episode will determine it I guess.
