I think Nakami blaming himself for the rain is falling in line with his characterization. The show is making it painfully obvious that he’s still carrying baggage from his parents and likely blames himself for that too, which would mean he has a pattern of blaming himself for anything bad that happens around him. It also really fits into the interpretation I’ve had that his insomnia is causing him depression, because depressed people tend to irrationally self-loathe.

I feel some of the other commenters sentiments about a few tropes being worn out this episode, but overall I really liked the subtle storytelling parts in this episode and growing chemistry between the two main characters.

Okay I know you are the MC but the world doesn't literally revolve around you. It's not your fault it started to rain lmao. Definitely some childhood trauma that they have yet to get into besides the no Mom in the picture and a seemingly disconnected Dad.

Edit: Saw a comment explaining all the cut content that adds a lot more context for this sudden outburst. Yeah that feels like pretty critical stuff to make this "emotional" moment actually hit... Seems whoever decided what to adapt made some pretty poor choices just so they could end at something specific scene I'm guessing. Another unfortunate adaption.

Wow. This is like the first SoL anime where the characters whose drenched in rain and doesnt get cold the next day lol.

Good job author for making a SoL anime a REAL SoL stuff. Who got sick after getting drenched in rain anyway, always wondering why its the textbook go-to plot in japanese anime/films.

Ganta inexplicably blaming himself for something (the rain, apparently) and then running away while making painful sounds was confounding, and seemed like a banal excuse to add some transitory drama to an anime that should just stick to the slice of life formula.

I'm lowkey confused because I get feeling bad that the event you worked hard for had to be cancelled, but why is the solution to run outside in the pouring rain??? Like is he stupid?? I feel like I missed something because that was not a proportionate response to what happened.

The episode with rain is a symbol of life difficulties. There are things that no matter how hard you try cannot be changed like a divorce between parents, heart disease of your friend or lack of funding for club and it's not easy to accept and live with its real consequences.

Ganta was more invested in this meteor shower going right then anyone could have expected. When the rain came crashing down, so did his morale.

That bus stop scene with Isaki and Ganta spilling their hearts out to one another was superb!
