| (Devil Doll, 2004-01-21 - contains spoilers, though I try to not be too explicit):
This episode is even tougher than the previous one; it is much easier to fight if you think you have a chance to win. It took Yuuichi quite some time to take care of Mai's issue, and he needed a lot of help from her best friend. Now the boy can face his next challenge which isn't a small one either, but there is another best friend who will support him. This episode proves what a good character Nayuki is, encouraging Yuuichi to spend as much time as possible with another girl. And the ending [image5] is more open this time because it is difficult to say what the Misaka sisters' most important problem really is [image6]. Of the other girls, only Makoto [image1] has her appearances, the few funny spots in this depressing episode. But that closing scene might be another gloomy foreshadowing. Yuuichi's line of the day: "Miracles are called miracles because there's a small chance of them happening." - - - - - - - - - - | |
