BONAVUU! The 2nd term starts, and Umika's a lot better, though the class president saw Haruno's video of their Ultra High-Power Dream rocket, it has impacted at least one person. Though the post-championship was somewhat of a solemn ride home, Emihara is relieved that Umika is fine, though Raimon has once again stopped coming to school, and she can only do what she can do to get Raimon back to school again. Umika wanting Haruno's video of her speech, it's that bad, and she needs to confront her failures head-on.

But the next time the girls go to Raimon's place, Haruno carries the doubt of Raimon not showing up again, though this is forecasted by Yu's foreheadpathy, showcasing the fear that she once had, now repeated with said girl. She's just that worried for other people, and Umika consoled her that despite their bad performance at the tournament, she remains eager to enter the competition again with all 3 girls. The foreheadpathy...it's definitely clicking their hearts together to become stronger.

Haruno's past with her grandfather, sharing the dream of playng the piano with her friend Megumi, she doesn't want to see her friend's dreams shatter. Instead, her gramps encouraged her to step out and be courageous, just as she now does with Raimon, and even boldly challenges her to build a better rocket than Raimon did. The truth, however, is that she wants to work in tandem with everyone, have a goal and objective.

What's Raimon's deal with being strong-faced, though will anyone help her find herself, just like Haruno did herself?

Raimon really should change her attitude.

Haruno needs a hug. <3 She's such caring and lovely person.

They're back and of course without Matataki there.

This time Haruno plays the role, she is really a good girl in my opinion. Since she was little, you will understand. In essence, she will support her friend's dreams.

Yuu is very understanding here, and Umika plans to rebuild again together. Before it ends, Haruno meets Matataki. Lmao, I'm sure Matataki will melt at her.

Please, I beg you, don't give up Matataki.

Raimon needs some drastic changes in her life and she was having some of those but now she is reverting back to her old self.
Well lets just hope she realises that this way of living isn't good for her and that she will join her friends again.
Haruno also had a good lesson this episode.

Great day for melodramatic Yuri. This and Wataoshi had some excellent character drama today, we ate good

So proud of both Umika and Haruno for allowing this failure to be a teacher. You learn the most from failing. Don’t be afraid of it. Yea things didn’t go well with the rocket launch this time, but now you know what to improve and work on. Umika has become so strong and she doesn’t even know it. She might have the social anxiety, but she’s going to put herself out there and try again.

Haruno has been supporting her friends’ dreams since a little kid, what a very sweet girl. Glad she went and confronted Raimon who’s been an absolute asshole to everyone lately. I get she got emotional issues, but still don’t excuse how she’s treated people who are just being kind to her. Haruno’s usually been one to just take Raimon’s verbal abuse, but I’m glad she stood up for herself and told it like it is.

Dunno what Raimon was talking about to herself there at the end, but hopefully this speech will resonate with her and get her out of her shell. She was making good progress with socialising and stuff before

Crazy how one episode turned Haruno from my least favourite of the four girls to my favourite. I never hated her she just never really stood out a whole lot.

I’ve really struggled to make up my mind on who is my favourite of the four but i finally decided from this episode.

Haruno>Raiomon>Umika>Yuu. I adore all of them though and there dynamic together is great.

Haruno is a great friend for making sure to shut the garage door on the way out 😂😂

Holy flip, that was in my opinion, one of the best episodes. Honestly for a long while Haruno was super forgettable to me, as just another generic nice girl. To see her get some development not only amazing, but it built her character and impact for the show. Also the I hope the forehead rubbing between the girls becomes a GIF, that was genuinely cute ^^

BO - NA - VUU! ☄️Another great episode. Ok, Matataki-chan comes up a little short, but otherwise very, very cool. The running gag with the forehead telepathy alone this time is worth pure gold😂

It's nice to see how Umika and her friends can get their class excited about the "modello raketos". 🚀Everyone is happy about the rocket and I'm excited to see what direction this will take.

Raimon is still having a hard time and I can totally relate to her. I think all of us have experienced something like that before.

So now the “Loser Googles” chapter has been adapted and Haruno is truly MVP this week as she is the only one who has the courage to confront Matataki in person - and every word she says is so true.

There is no point in getting upset or sulking over failures. You can learn from mistakes. There are people who are "flat", as you would say in my language, and then let themselves down, and people like regular Matataki who are "Power, Power, Power!"🔥. It goes on and on and on. Gambare gambare! 💪🏿💪🏿That's how it looks!

I always think it's nice that these stories about Umika, Yuu and their friends are so cuddly, but you can always get a little message out of them.🤗

I'm already looking forward to the next episode. One of my favorite chapters. If they adapt this, something big is coming to us.✨

Oh, and before I forget: Mativuuuu!🌌

I know highs school isn't the most stable period for teenagers but what happened to Matataki for having a mental breakdown like that?

Losing sucks and it hurts sometimes, but you'll eventually learn to stand up and try again.

Raimon seems to have tied her worth to her technical ability, and her value to the team as their lead engineer to the results they are able to achieve. Earlier episodes present her as a young technical genius, but the regional competition shows her skill to fall far short of what she wishes.

Emihara-sensei seems correct to draw a line separating Raimon and Umika, who really cared about the result, from Akeuchi and Haruno, who were happy just to participate.

Interesting development this episode for Haruno though, showing that she stopped caring about results to lessen the pain of them not turning out as desired. But now she realizes that's not enough, nor is it enough to just be pleasant with Raimon when meeting her in her garage.

Interesting strategy, trying to use Raimon's pride to get her to act, but perhaps also a warning, that if she stops trying, even the other 3 'nutjobs' in the rocket research hobby group will overtake her with their achievements.

They’re doing something really interesting here that I appreciate a lot, and that is showing the three girls’ response to the hardship of losing and how they deal with it in different ways. Excellent stuff!

Nice episode for everyone outside of Matataki. Honestly, if the other girls didn't want her back, I'd be okay if she stayed gone.

How sad everyone is had me tear shed every once in a while throughout the episode though also since I wish i had supportive people like that through my life..

Haruno was kind of sweet this episode. I can understand wanting to push others to achieve their dreams and not wanting to take anything away from anyone.

Umika did good facing the setbacks she's had.

This show did the transition to drama so incredibly well! Haruno's story was great - those super nice characters always have some trauma, but her story was still exceptional!

As for Raimon, she really is going all-in on the depression. I totally get her desire to win and how she has such high expectations for herself, but not reacting to Haruno at all - I'm sure there's more to it!

キタキタボナヴー! We're back in business Foreheadpathians!

Great job, Konohoshi, great job (5:33)! She is toughening up indeed, and we are going straight for the win now, woo! (We probably will not see anything like that until a hypothetical season two 😞.) § How very wise of you, Emihara (6:49). What a great teacher 😁. § Honami might not understand, but Umika is singing the truth (8:32)! Keep those tears coming and confront your pain! § It seems Takaragi accidentally let something slip that she was not supposed to know (9:34). Where did she hear that from? Her and Raimon for a subgroup (AKA a power couple 🤣) within our main cast. Did they talk to each other sometime off-screen before this happened? I'm curious that Raimon's parents (I have gotten the impression they are not ever-present) called the school though ☎️. Interesting… § Maybe Takaragi's and Raimon's views on winning aren't wrong, but how they deal with loss (10:54). It is okay to care about winning and losing, but running away from failure, pushing others away, and falling into despair are not productive ways to attack those types of situations. § Takaragi's grandfather words are sweet 💖, yet something deep within me disagrees with his message: I cannot yet understand the justification and origin of his conjecture 💭 (17:34). I need to live a few more years and see if time changes my mind. § Well said, Takaragi: I want to be someone who works towards a goal and accomplishes something 🏆 (21:00).

Someone will have to deal with that brooding girl in Raimon's garage, other than that, I am good to say, see you next time 👋!

!NICE ODEKO CATCH!

But fr tho holy shit this might be the best episode from this show yet, full of drama and character growth ong🥹

This really was Haruno’s episode bc I was not expecting so much from her character and why she acts like the way she acts and I just gotta say she’s so precious she’s very caring for others but won’t over step to outdo her friends so that their dream crumbles like how her childhood friend’s dream was crushed🥺

The chibi foreheadpathy with Yuu Haruno is Umika was so goddamn adorable couldn’t keep myself from smiling and giggling with them😆😆

I’m so happy for Umika for manning up and being ok with losing knowing they can keep at it until next year good for her :D

hopefully with the last 2 episodes we get to learn why Raimon is so cold towards the others and why she just doesn’t be true to herself

Side note but I think Haruno’s Grandfather was the first male character to actually be detailed and talk as well thought it was just an all girls show tbh😅💀💀💀💀
