THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------

Looks like Kaede suffers from a case of dissociative disorder according to the doctor.

"The person right here is Kaede". Well, if there's anything, Sakuta really knows how to comfort someone when they need it the most. Looks like Kaede really wants to go to school despite being difficult for her.

At least she got to see a giant panda.


Weird cliffhanger...another case of identity problem? Quite an emotional episode though imo.

Yeah I think this is one of my favorite episodes. I think what happened was Kaede got her original memories back, can't wait to see how they handle this in the next episode.

Yet another great episode. I loved the shot of the single orange maple tree, a play on Kaede's name.

Great job by the VA conveying Kaede's reversion in the last scene through her tone of voice and expressions.

Really is the fastest 25 minutes of the week... Sigh.

Zoo part was great

So Kaede's memories are back but looks like she lost the memories of Kaede we know from until now

I want both of her memories to be there and Kaede's voice from before T_T

Interesting episode that did well in expanding upon Kaede's character and the effects that the trauma had on both Sakuta and family. Shoko though sure proved to be a blessing for Sakuta at that time as she not only listened but provided heartfelt advice to him as well. The letter from her friend caused a shock to her hidden memories huh. Kaede's love of pudding sure was amusing. But her desire to go to school despite the trauma that she got it was surprising. The walking to school scene was pretty well done and did well to show Kaede's determination. It was sad seeing the marks reappear though despite her courage. Going to the zoo though was a great idea and it was nice seeing Kaede's spirits return. Sakuta though sure was sneaky but he at least he managed to get Kaede to school. But man that ending though what a shocking development.

Enjoyed this episode quite a bit, especially since the normal Kaede seems to be back. Already like this one a lot more, but guess that imouto fans will be disappointed :(

Shame on those who think evil of it.

Also about the scene where she said it's ok if it was you Onii-chan.

Did the Kaede we know just completely vanish?

All the explanations given for her behaviour and how it comes together through her disorder.

Getting goosebumps minutes after the episode thinking about that.

Ya know when we 1st saw Kaede in her school uniform she was wearing this.

And now we see her wearing this .

So does that means that she'll be transferring to another school???

Nice episode, but judging by Sakuta's reaction, I don't think that's the original Kaede. I think maybe this is a new version of her? Idk, but Sakuta was too shocked. He knew she might be regaining her memories, so I don't see why he would react like that if that was the original Kaede.

We'll have to wait and see. I'm not ready for the end of the season and the wait till the movie is out tho =0=

That was messed up! I knew her memories would return the moment she kept saying she's got confidence that she can go to school over and over but man... that drastic change in tone and personality tho...I don't want this Kaede!
#NotMyKaede
#BringBackPandaKaede

This is now my #1 arc! they really saved the best for last (well... not actually last since Shoko's arc will be in the movie)
I really felt bad for Panda Kaede throughout the ep, she really wanted to do stuffs cause she knew she didnt have enough time left... and I love how Sakuta handled everything, from taking care of her and bringing her to the zoo and then tricking her into school, this man deserves an award!
That was the fastest 24mints I've ever experienced in this show, gonna be a sad day when this ends, I already miss it, hoping this all ends well with Panda Kaede and JK Kaede fusing like how Futaba was.

No, that was the original Kaede, she could instantly tell Sakuta's her brother, Sakuta was shocked because the prev Kaede AKA the cute panda loving one just disappeared.

Would you rather have that the rush the anime and destroy the story completely making it a disappointing anime?

Anyway Kaede returning back her personality towards the end didn't come as a surprise but now she will have to face a surprise tho.
Things will be hard on her for sure.

He was shocked because he knew (or guessed) that if the old Kaede came back, the Kaede that he has lived with (and the rest of the main cast knows) would disappear. He was shocked because he instantly recognized "Kaede" 's tone and speech was way different from Kaede. This "Kaede" is the old one but obviously way different than the Kaede we've known since episode 1. Maybe this is the "Kaede" before she was even bullied online (since she doesn't seem to be afraid or traumatized or anything. She's acting normal for a girl who shut down her memories to cope with the bulling).

I mean this anime is already too rush and cut out so many details and scenes from the novel. Kaede would has a harder life, but also more hope.

Yeah, but she was wearing sailor uniform in summer they wore short sleeves, in the winter they wore longer sleeves, in her new uniform it was short sleeves in the summer without the blazer, and longer sleeves in the winter with the blazer.

It is probably better for her to exchange her new memories for the old ones (that are much broader). So I'd say it was an evolution. But I didn't like the first impression of her old personality. And it's not as if both Kaedes wouldn't merge by next episode or anything...

Damn, gonna miss memory loss Kaede, she was just way too cute. I hope that personality will somehow merge with the pre memory loss one. (This is basically what's going on with Sakura from Zombieland Saga as well, hyped for the ending of that!)

Hyped for the ending of this arc too :D.

Goddamit Plot ,why are you so predictable but at the reveal you still shocked me

yea i predict kaede memory are coming back after her problem of "not be able to go to school" is solved ,just like koga's crush on Sakuta ,nodoka jealousy at mai ,and mai contradicted feeling of going back to being an actress
oh yeah and futaba's "something something 'i want to see firework' "(the explanation got too complicated for my head in futaba's arc)

man the "old" kaede feels mature and have some sakuta's trait in there like his smugness(tbh i can see the sibling getting along really well before she lost her memory)

still curious for the reason kaede get bullied ,why do i feel the person that bullied kaede (which get mention in the last episode)will come for revenge or salvation in the next episode ,maybe its that glasses girl in the last episode

really good series this episode kinda confirmed the 9/10 it getting from me ,because we can relate to sakuta a lot ,we can feel his shock confused or dillema(top tier character writing) like when kaede regain her memory ,i see it coming from a mile away but it still hit me really hard

What an episode holy sht.

I honestly saw the old Kaede coming back since the first time they mentioned it but it still hit hard. Also, her story is way sadder than I thought (specially what happened to their Mom) Sakuta is such a strong guy for dealing with all this after this much happened. Honestly seeing Sakuta cry is so sad for me to watch idk why it hurts :(

I really don't know how this is going to get resolved but I'm so pumped for next week, it seems the Shouko arc is left for the movie too

So that's how Sakuta got that scar.. that's kinda scary if you ask me.

This episode was really adorable but also emotional at the same time. The Zoo part was great, to see Kaede is such joy walking through the Zoo and seeing the panda's..

So Kaede has recovered her lost memories but also lost the ones she made and the change is huge. The change of tone and her voice is very well done by the VA. I wonder what will happen next now that Kaede's memories are back.

Regarding Shoko, the show is setting up a nice contrast for Sakuta: Go for the girl who gave his life direction and purpose, or choose the one he's more compatible with. I think we all know who he will choose in the end, but these little glimpses of how Shoko affected his life make her seem more realistic as a potential rival.

just when panda kaede was growing on me they sweep her away. though im really interested in this new (or should i say old) kaede. sakuta being so shocked is really overdramatic imo but as the eldest sibling of my family, i can also understand what he's feeling. great episode, as always.
I wouldn't say its over dramatic. He loves both versions of his sister. When this first happened to Kaede, he more or less lost his old sister(which was obviously very hard on him as shown in this episode) and after moving on and developing a close bond with the new Kaede, it happens again, so its like losing a sister all over again.

Which is incredibly harsh on Sakuta more than anyone. Even if he'll have gotten back his sister, he'll also forever feel like he lost one.

I think that is a bit too simplistic. Sakuta then was not the same as Sakuta now, so saying Mai is more compatible with him sounds almost unfair. Heck, the whole thing is unfair, but that's life, and no need to make it any more so. Also, quite ironically, one could question whether Shoko would feel for Sakuta like she does, if Sakuta were still as he was back then.

Kawai Kaede disappearing is extremely sad. I really hope both personalities end up merging - it would be the best/most fair result. I'm sure original Kaede is a perfectly fine girl but I fell in love with Kawai Kaede.

As others have said, Kubo Yurika did a fantastic job this episode, especially in that final scene.

That's a good point, and one the show hasn't really explored (yet). We know Sakuta carried a torch for Shoko, but how does/did Shoko feel about him? What did she want with him? I have a feeling the movie will delve into that.

She might've changed schools, or she was wearing the summer uniform. I hope she really transferred to another school. Staying in the same school where she was bullied makes no logic.
