Episode 7

HAKKEYOI!

Notes

• Not that it really matters, but the ep title screen is delayed like half a minute for a recap of the previous episode.
• Once again, the cloud stock footage is used with a flashback (though not a siginifcant one).
• Hey, look, it's Jin's third cameo! And Kazune's fanclub is cheating on him! I wonder if this wouldn't end up being the reason Karin was a fan of Jin before he showed up in Chu.
• And of course, here's the most significant added scene in this episode: Himeka Karasuma's appearance. Karin touching her hands triggers a flashback to Kazuto and Suzuka, holding young Himeka's hands, walking towards Tower Bridge. Karin sheds a single tear, obviously made quite emotional by it (and then just walks it off). Later, touching Himeka Kujyou's hand triggers a clearer(?) verion of that scene. This demonstrates pretty well the odd weirdness censor that goes on around these flashbacks- Karin obviously takes note of them (wondering "again?" when the one with Kujyou Himeka happens), but brushes them off (barely reacting once Himeka2's is over).
• And then after Kirika nabs Karin's ring, suddenly HAND OF ZEUS. We see it again at the end of the episode, after Kirio reveals Himeka2's name to the audience, where the Zeus ring briefly glows.

Nice preview of the next episode. Definitely gives you a good idea of what's going to happen. Dialogue and scenes go very well together.
