Hmm, that's weird. I didn't really think of it like that before. But now that you mention it to really is another side of Sayoko that we see in this episode. Back in the first season I would have attributed her attitude toward Keiichi as an attempt to keep Belldandy from taking here title. But she seems kind of lonely now--almost sweeter in this episode. I don't know if this is a character change or not though.

lol sayako's reasoning behind her emptiness seemed absurd at first.
but then she let go of her feelings, if only for that day.

"sayako: i hate you
belldandy: i like you a lot"

heh maybe belldandy is too good, but then again, that's why her title fits her.

Too vague to tell =P At times you think she really does enjoy K's company, though she doesn't know why, other times you think shes just doing it for the "reason" she gives "at first". But she also seems very jealous of the relationship Belldandy and K share. I tend to lean toward her having at least slight feelings for K, even if she hasn't come to terms with those feelings yet.

I think she's only starting to like Keichi since he's matured as a result of his relationship with Belldandy.

I look at it that Keiichi originally had an interest in her. She loved the attention. But as soon as Belldandy came into the scene she wasn't getting the attention. So she started to do things to get his attention, and each time he turned her down.

Diva's love attention.

Mamiko Noto will always be my queen. No real guys exist like Keiichi, seriously, it's Mamiko Noto; how dumb can characters get?

Yay, Sayoko is back. The episodes with her are all really good.

Deep down, I don't think she loves Keiichi as such. But she really wants to once again have his attention so she can feel as the real "queen" again.

Agreed I don't think she actually cares for him either. I think it's part as you said she wants the attention and is jealous of Belldandy and the other part because he turned her down, which seperates him from other guys she knows. The unobtainable always has it's appeals. I almost thought she did care when she started making the sweater, but rather than put the time and effort in she reverted to the easy route of just going out and buying it. That to me spoke volumes on her actual feelings.

Glad to see Sayoko again, I think she may have some type of feelings deep down for Keiichi, but I don't think even she has realized that. It's hinted by the part where they were walking and she said she even liked walking with him.

I was glad to see Belldandy so happy, and oh, it was badass when Belldandy said "Even so, I will always love you" to Sayoko. Just as God will always love us, a Goddess will always love them. That's what it reminded me of at least, such a warm feeling.

Oh, poor Mishima. I wished I had sympathy for her, but I don't.
Her rationale for wanting a relationship with Keiichi is for dominance.
She wants what she can't get. Might as well steal every taken guy on campus.
Props to Keiichi for friend-zoning her.

Also, I think the animation quality in this season is way more consistent.

oh... this is great keiichi and bell's bond is shinning more than ever before right from the start i have been waiting for this... now i actually feel the love that they feel for each other ... keiichi is such a gentleman and i love the way he is strait with sayoko... also URD is awesome as usual ...

well for sayoko i think i know what keiichi felt " she is not true to her heart" i think she has a crush on keiichi because is honest , true to her but she denies this and liying to herself because of this her actions aren't true enough but i admire her for trying her best to not playing dirty anymore and it is a cool moment when she said she trust bell for a being a honest women and the moment when sayoko told bell " i hate your guts" !

sayoko can't be true to her genuine self hope she grows up soon. maybe because sayoko knows she likes something she cant ever have and saving herself from heart ache :3

Sayoko likes Keiichi no doubt. Keiichi is too oblivious to women feelings though.

considering her reactions when she is with him i say ur wrong, she says that only to convince herself that she is not in love & in past S1 she tried to get him cause of that reason but chasing after him has made her fall for him cause hes not so simple minded lame losers like the guys circling around her & that's one thing that attracted her to him

i have seen this before a playboy chases after a woman that resists him resting even makes her more attractive to him & he ends up falling for her hard & cause in the end she accepts him & that changes him & stays faithful, ofc i cant remember where i so that story

but loosing like this will make her dark side come back & she seem to act like she use to

i tend to answer old posts when i feel like it :D

Aww, I kind of feel bad for Sayoko. She's an affluent, college-educated beauty, but doesn't have a special someone and all the attention she gets doesn't fill the void. Well, I guess that's what can happen when you feel entitled a good chunk of your life. It's nice she's becoming more self-aware though.

maybe Sayoko likes Keichi because he's the only one who treats her differently?

anyway, glad she gave back the sweater

Yeah, a Sayoko episode for the beginning of the season was needed. I like her mini development. But damn, even considering to steal the sweater was evil af xD

Belldandy was hella cute, tho.

Belldandy killing em with kindness! All this sweetness is really kicking up the diabetes!

Great seeing Sayoko in the forefront. I don't think she truly has romantic feelings for Keiichi (yet), but she's starting to come around with the more she's seeing of his good qualities that Belldandy is bringing out.
