Episode 25

Everyone's Reactions

The Aikatsu Friends trio finally makes their appearance, and I totally get that 'IT'S HERE!' feeling. It really feels like we've been waiting for this. O-bake-chan suddenly shows up, scaring Orivia and Nana into slime mode. It’s a mix of scary and funny, and I can’t help but laugh at how it all plays out. Plus, her claiming Emma as her older sister is just adorable. And then there’s childhood Emma... She’s so tiny, loli-cute, and precious. Seeing her cherish Prec-coin made my eyes well up a bit. The setting of her appearing in the Aikatsu Verse from across the sea, where we can hear the goddess's voice, feels a little bittersweet. Emma's live, themed around 'hope' and dedicated to Elpuche, was so warm and tender that it really pierced my heart. Watching everyone dance in the ending theme brought tears to my eyes for real... I'm looking forward to next week!
