Sasaki to Pii-chan Episode 5 Discussion

The show keeps losing quality.
What about the airplane?

@ResetM exactly. They just watched the boy shoot down the airplane which 100% killed the pilot and acted like nothing happened. Fairly emotionless about the event.

You have magic but couldn’t save an innocent bystander? And instead used the falling debris as an excuse to put up a barrier to use as a plot piece for the next couple scenes?

The plot is becoming dumber with each episode

I have a question - Has he quit his job at the office for the trading company?

Because we haven't seen him return to it since early on and in this episode he explicitly said "When I worked in an office" or "When I worked as a salaryman" (depending on your subtitling/translation) as if it were in the past, even though him definitively leaving, if it happened, was completely left out of being featured onscreen. It makes perfect sense if he did. I was thinking even an episode or two ago that his life was getting way too unreasonably busy, and far from his initial goal of wanting to relieve some stress from his office job and work life by way of acquiring a cute pet, his life was now more chaotic, undoubtedly stressful, and jam-packed as ever. I thought that there was no way he could keep up two separate jobs in our world (modern Japan) - one being an ostensibly full-time white collar business job, and the other with the bureau of psychics in the field involving all sorts of irregular hours and emergencies, required training and endurance, and personal safety risks - that alone could prove too much, but with the secondary isekai world on top of that and all he is doing there with involvement in selling goods with the trade company, political dealings with the viscount-now-count and his family, the restaurant manager position (even if he mainly shows up just to pay the chef), etc. - forget it. Serenity? Slow life? This is its antithesis.

Trying to balance and juggle all these things could be part of the appeal of "wacky" Sasaki living this exciting and eccentric lifestyle - it has started to remind me of some older superhero cartoons in a way and some other shows where the main character inhabited a constantly dangerous, crazy, lawless world with major crime and supernatural phenomena and everything else, and they were expected to be a sort of jack-of-all-trades who could be and do anything from suave businessman to martial arts street fighter to scholar or mystic. Like those masked vigilante crimefighter comics. But if they were going for the approach of keeping it a little more grounded, I could also see them having him actually just quit that original job and shave off some of the excess fat.

Otherwise, realistically, he wouldn't have a moment to sleep, pee, or hardly catch a breath.



The airplane exploded in midair upon collision with the ascending fireball. Pieces of its burning debris were falling to the ground. Given the way it was portrayed, it may have been the case that most or all passengers onboard were incinerated upon impact anyway.
