----------------------------------------
This was cute. Seeing Yuuki and her friends gathered again is just a refreshing feel.
I love the priceless look on the characters' faces too.

It still had the silly moments with the cosplay and hero gimmicks These girls really wanted to present a show to the younger kids and it was rather amusing to watch them "fight".

As Yuuki remembers her past moments, I feel the show still has the darker elements from the previous season.

It's only the first episode and we're already off to an explosive start.

Knew shit was gonna hit the fan once Fu said that she had that habit of dividing things 5 ways. T_T

I actually felt that the drama and comedy blended in pretty nicely, from their realization, to the flashback with Kokubou Kamen, and back again.
Oh no... that final scene.

After a relatively happy start, they began to realize something was amiss..where is Washii?
It's good to see Sonoko together with the other girls. Like I thought she and Yuuna hit it off right away.

Looking at the end sequence and what she said when they were all together, she probably got imprisoned/sealed for destroying part of the wall in the first season.

Since Togo is a Messiah I'm worried that something like this will happen and look behold it did come true.

Now for the situation she is in there are several possibility:

a) She want to sacrifice herself as a Miko to make amend to heaven. Though unlike what happen with Gun-chan her entire existence is getting erased.

b) Yuusha-bu lost the battle on outside the wall and she is kidnapped.

c) She is becoming part with Shinjuu.

Man seeing this remind me of Gun-chan.

Also the key visual for this arc is good.

The tone shift from going "OMG what's wrong with our memories" to seeing Tougou playing the hero of justice was horrible and completely ruined the mood, they should have just got straight to the point.

Other than that, there are two possibilities. Most probably Tougou has to pay a price for destroying the wall and healing all the others. But it could also be that this is an alternate universe Madoka Rebellion style where they're all happy and the ending of S1 was a lie, somehow created by Tougou to allow her friends to continue living an ordinary life.
While that completely destroyed Madoka, it could work here because such a development would fix the faults of S1 and lead to a possibly very interesting storyline. That is... if we didn't have only four episodes left.

I was told that this was going to be the recap PLUS six episodes but it seems like the runtime is only 5 weeks so... this could be a trainwreck.

It was nice seeing Sonocchi getting along with the rest of the girls. She's as cheerful as ever.

Even though it had a happy start, it was definitely not going to last long since Tougou was missing.

That was...annoyingly predictable. Togo (Wasshi) betrayed 'God' and despite realizing the error of her ways and helping everyone to save the world in the end of the first season, she still caused a lot of damage to the heroes (especially Yuuna) so of course there's gonna have to be a price to pay. So basically 'God' erases her existence and forces her to burn in Hell for all eternity while altering the memories of all the people she's ever known. So what? Now it looks like the season will basically be the girls defying their roles as heroes for the sake of rescuing their friend right? If this is going to be the case, I already know how I'm gonna feel about it at the end but at least Sonoko is back. 2/5

This episode was pretty much a delight to see, however yeah I wonder what the heck happened with Tougou o.oU so I'm actually curious what's going on. Based on the PV for the series there would be some action-packed moments as well as some revelations at the same time, which will be interesting to see.

of course, Sonoko being back is actually delightful, and just seeing her quirk around and all. As usual, the comedy and serious mode just blends well with the series just like the first season.

I also wonder what a heck happen to Tougou and curious what happen and why is she in hero form and keep getting burn, well if you listen to preview I can already understand some action going to happen.
Yeah and I love Sonoko thought it was short in half end we could see Sonoka together with Wasshi, rest of them and it make me quite sad lost of memories
of important friends.

Hmmmm. I am unsure about this pacing, it felt odd at times and I didn't feel as sad as I should when Sonoko and Yuuna cried, even the jokes like masked Tougou felt odd (and I had the context of the second visual novel which did have the whole scene).

All else was really amazing though, what a way to start this series.

No one is complaining about how jumpy all that information was. I am truly surprised. Yes, the content was good, but the transition was crap.

>Oh hey, they have Sonocchi
>Suddenly that backstory
>Continuing story with Sonocchi
>"Wait, where is Togo?"
>Backstory suddenly has Wasshio
>Continuing story with revelation

I did not enjoy that episode as much as I wanted to because of that. There is an obvious jump between season 1 and 2.5 that feels like there was an OVA to explain this, BUT THERE ISN'T. Unless I missed it in the recap somehow.

Just finished watching it, the recap just goes over what happened. It doesn't give out any new information.

I will admit that they could have had a better transition. Not sure whether that was the point or just clumsiness.

YuYuYu is multimedia franchise. To gasp the full picture of the story there are several side material like Sonoko After taking place after first season and NoWaYu taking place in the first year of god telling the story of Sonoko ancestor and the first hero team.

There are some commitment needed to start Yuusha de Aru franchise since the story is ever expansive. But I can assure it worth of your time.

Also reminder that I haven't read KuMeYu.

I wasn't sure what they were going to do with a sequel, but this is interesting :o The burning girl at the end doesn't look like Togo, so I would have to guess that she's an incarnation of the Shinju-sama... only time will tell though (seriously, no spoilers).

Sadly I'm almost certain that most of your prediction is wrong. This really shows how incomplete YuYuYu is by watching only the anime and not reading the LNs. This really is the problem with multimedia franchise. The anime is not adaptation and the LNs have different stories that actually complement the whole series' universe.

Tougou's disappearance is most likely related to events of KuMeYu LN last month's chapter. I'm pretty sure that the main purpose of burning Tougou is not for punishment but for *spoiler*(read NoWaYu and KuMeYu). The fire is also not from Shinju. And it's just my guess, but it's possible that Tougou volunteered for the *spoiler* thing. The next LN chapter will be published few days before ep 2 starts. Iirc the WaSuYu LN last chapter also published near YuYuYu ep 8 which makes the appearance of Sonoko in anime more impactful and not become 'sudden appearance of 'who??'. Those LNs are meant to complement the story of the series. (I hate this type of multimedia story telling tbh lol)

Well... WOW

I thought this episode will give me intermezzo a little bit since it's first episode. But shit,,,, i realized Tougou Mimori's disappearance from beginning so these "WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?!? WHERE'S MY FAVORITE CHAR IN THIS SERIES?!? HOW IT BECOME DIS WAY???" hit my head so hard.

It really reminds me of Suzumiya Haruhi's Disappearance (and maybe also 'Endless Eight'). BUT it is a different case, as the club member said something bad happened in the past so they can't remember Mimori. The things that must be noticed here is Mimori is EVER existed, Probably everything is just "Restarted" to some kind of checkpoint without Mimori's existence, but not "Reset". Because daily lives spent with Mimori memory (Even not all) still remain in member's mind.


I dunno how it will become in the next episode, since it is original adapted. But this first episode, deeply Impressed me

Well.... i don't think that you are 100% right, this Yuusha no Shou is an Original adapted. We don't know what will happen next.

But yeah, this series has so many other story related. It really makes me doubtful about "It is related with or not?"

Fair enough. Yet another anime that fails to capture the beauty of its source. What else is new am I right? Eh, I'm not really invested in this series enough to care about the source, only watching it because I watched the first season and the Washio part.

That's where you got it wrong, there's no "source" for Yuusha no Shou, the novels are complimentary, WaSuYu was complimentary to the first season (it's serialization started months before the first season aired) and it only recently got adapted into the movies/first 6 eps of this season. NoWaYu is about the first group of heroes, essentially Shinju Year 0, we're around Year 300 right now, KuMeYu is sort of a link between the first season and this one, centered around another "Hero Candidate" that ultimately lost to Karin and did not become a true Hero, but this Yuusha no Shou we're getting is completely original. So it's not like "the adaptation is shit, read the source," it's more of like "read the whole expanded universe to get the whole experience" which is the point of multimedia franchises.

Well, shit hit the fan quickly. I did notice Tougo's absence on-screen during the first two scenes odd. By the 4th minute mark, I knew something was up.

Anyway, I agree with some here that she was taken in partly because of what she did to the barrier. There's also other possibilities: She being one of the older heroes, and being a sacrifice for the rest of them.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if with her high sense of remorse and responsibility she willingly gave herself up. Guess we'll see.

Nah this is definitely not YuYuYui plotline. In YuYuYui as far as I remember part of the land god start rebelling to Shinju and they are sent to another universe closely resemble to it while time won't pass in their own universe. Because time flow differently cross dimensional Hero is also called to help.

This make an interesting point where Sonoko and her elementary school ver meet.

Let us not add "forgot about a character" plots to the long list of stuff that was already popular and widespread way before Madoka yet people will always mention it being similar to Madoka when it happens. Ok?

I mean, the very first magical girl show also had this exact plot, where every human forgot Sally existed.
