Depending on débate, Lily could actually be a transgender, not a trap. Shame the episode didn't clarify or give enough information whether if she should be transgender or a trap....


This term only means your appearance, not a person. In any case, I hear about the already third idol trap in the anime, and this is not to mention how these characters were processed by idol manga.

the government of japan is very strict on LOLI fictions, so if a character is a boy then everything would turn to be fine. Boys are "legal".

"Masao was my old name"

"I am still Lily, and that's who I'm always going to be"

These are both phrases that Lily said. These are coming from her. Stop doubting something the show is blatant at. Lily is a trans girl.

In any case, from the point of view of Japanese culture, Lily is a girl because she accepts a female gender role. In particular, this is why SM refers to Haruka’s “male nature”, although she canonically has a female identity.

But what kind of a better clarification you want? Lily embraces a female identity and rejects her assigned male identity. This is not up for debate, this is exactly what happens in the episode.

In Japan there was no law that the Idols, should be only girls ?.

@jal90 jal90 I do not care about this. If Lily is a biological boy who identifies himself as a girl, then for me she will be a biological boy who identifies herself as a girl.

If this is not a silly fan fantasy like "Moca is very boy-ish tomboy, so she is trans boy", then I really do not care about that.

Idol can be of any gender and otokonoko idols are formally considered girls. But it also determines your audience.

Not going to get into your definition of things and what I think of your views of trans people here. I mean, the debate is about what the show actually did and what it intended with that. Not either of our personal stances on trans identity.

I find that understandable, but despite that, various other places and such still say trap....hence why I said better clarification...

So I already answered you - if this is an open canon, then she is obviously a trans girl. Their “relationship” with Yukiri even somehow reminds me of my favorite pairing from Bland S, lol.

I'd be totally down with Lily being a trap. But the thing is, she uses she/her pronouns. Which seems to imply trans rather than trap. Traps still tend to use he/him since they aren't actually girls, but crossdressers.

Hmmm...
His body start to transform into real man with facial hairs and leg hairs. Also his papa told that he's growning and he said he don't want grown to looks like his dad. Moreover he have truly guy name. So Lily-kun is a TRAP.
tho it was still not completly direct presented so you can assume that Masao is still cute loli girl.

This episode was like so unexpected. Really did not expect that they would throw a trap bomb when the show is almost ending. This is probably the saddest thing I have watched ever in an idol show.

Amazing episode. Poor Lily, stress and overworking yourself is the ultimate killer. That feel song at the end. At least both father and child got some closure although that's still sad especially for Papi.

I guess trap/trans or whatever it is part existed to make us not feel too much about a child death caused by overworking.

Lmao this show loves to mix kinda sad or heart warming moments with complete absurdity. The dad was comically large and Lily is actually a guy, so when he started growing body hair he died from shock. It's just too damn silly. At least now he is eternally young so won't have to worry about that lol. It was pretty nice how they wrote the extra song for the Dad and such anyway.

Urghh... Sorry, but this episode is very emotional. So, Lily's dad is actually drown too deep in his child's famous that made him forgot about Lily's own happiness. Damn sad, but this is also might happen in real entertainment world, so you guys, if you have children who will step their foot in that world, please dont push them too hard.

The emotion in this episode made me don't really care about Lily's fact that she (or he) is a trap or a trans. Yeah, Lily is Lily, who care about what she was before.

In the end, she can cheer up her dad, and her dad can forgive himself and back to what he was. Awesome episode.

Trap was never a meme nor a joke, it's a term for biological male characters who looks like a girl and gets mistaken for it

Lily being a trans girl is another matter, fact is by definition Lily is a trap

Death by whiskers oh my word! :O :-D :-D.

That was a touching episode especially the song. But damn that was one huge dad Lilly has, but I'm glad they both found closure to their situation.

It seems like Junko may have a little crush on Tatsumi, I guess that pep talk they had must've had a great impact on her.

I felt so conflicted with myself about how to feel during this episode. At one moment I was feeling a bit emotional due to Lily's backstory, then I was laughing out loud like Sakie when I found out Lily was a "he" and even more when I knew about how Masao had died xD

Overall, I would say that this was a nice episode. I also appreciate the fact that the performance at the end wasn't made with CGI. It felt kind of refreshing since the use of it looked so awful in this show, intentionally or not.

P.S.: What the hell with that next episode's title?? Lmao.

Lily being revealed as a trap definitely caught me off guard, NEVER would've suspected that! Really emotional stuff in this episode though. I didn't expect this show to pull off emotion like that. Well done!

The new song, however....ehhh it took a second to get good lol what the hell was that first verse?!

Aside from that (and Lily's sorta ridiculous death lol) great episode! So now we've seen Sakura's, Ai's, Junko's and Lily's deaths and how they happened. Be interesting to see how the others died.

We can pretty much assume that Saki died in a motorcycle crash. I'm gonna take a guess and say that Yuugiri got beheaded (given the stitches around her neck). And It makes sense that Tae's death will be the most LEGENDARY one of them all XD Time will tell

What a show!
