I'll explain what's going to happen with Wattpad on my conversation page

Oh great the discourse about whether or not the main female character becomes ruined because she develops a crush on the main male character, even though their dynamic is slowly being built up over the course of the series, and it's really only bad if it becomes their soul defining character traits....this definitely isn't a talking point in other Japanese inspired works ala My Hero Academia, and we're not getting into that discussion either.

As for this new semester arc going back to high school, it's cool to see time's pass enough and Houtarou, Rinne, and Kajiki are officially high school seniors while Sabimaru and Renge have officially graduated. It was interesting the production notes recorded that Houtarou, Rinne, and Kajiki were classmates people didn't hate, but didn't necessarily like: one speculation was based on the opening Houtarou was popular enough socially in that people got along with him ala something on the basketball team but helping out the shop got in the way: which was accurate. Rinne's an introvert thanks to her issues and how she grew up thanks to the Academy, and Kajiki being in love with the paranormal wouldn't make them the class favorites. Plus, with Houtarou being so busy as a Kamen Rider, it was probably the smart move to handle this since not all of their old classmates probably won't be in the same class as them.

On the bright side, it's nice to see Rinne be more optimistic at school, Minato returning back to the school as a senior teacher, and his relationship blossoming so much that Kajiki comes across as the annoying best friend he can't stand when that seemed to be the Gotchard-Majade dynamic from the beginning.

Bringing in Seina Tsukumo as Houtarou and Kajiki's childhood best friend was definitely a interesting choice. They're high schoolers, and you'd think this would be a problem. Here's the thing, media exaggerates the number of love triangles in high school, real life, and college, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

"But you don't write or like love triangles." Never said that. It all depends on execution. Two, y'all neer my Not like Other Girls, Celestial University, or Annoying Dreamer stories and it shows. Love triangles can push another character's arc, insecurities, development, introduce a dynamic, or present an avenue to a new conflict. An endgame couple having a "better" counterpart as an option to make the couple on that journey to realize and value the need to do better, a love triangle that ends with someone moving on and finding a better connection or one of the legs being absolutely terrible and the story becomes about fostering your long lasting relationships that were always loyal, or serving as a character flaw and exploration of risk/new experiences vs comfort/stability. It just shouldn't over take the whole story, so for a superhero show, it can definitely work.

But, hey, Kajiki and Hijiri are still in contact: long distance relationship, and they didn't even have to bring her actress back to do so.

But props to Seina: for now, it seems she's genuinely interested in him and it's not some twist. She calls him cute, shows up to help, volunteers for the kiss for Romeo and Juliet, and goes to Rinne first to make sure she's not in the way because she wants to fall for her childhood best friend. Too bad she's not the deuteragonist watching this all with feelings of resentment who's watching all this for showing up a second too late. Kinda seemed like Rinne was looking forward to being more open with Houtarou or at least inviting him to watch the Club Presentation in the back ahead of time but Seina got to him first.

But speaking of rivals, juxtaposing Rinne's rage with Atropos allowing the Homunculi Golden Dolls to see Geryon's death, blaming them for taking the "man she cares about the most," which is really funny when you think about it. Atropos' father took Rinne away her from and caused her to be the isolated scholar she is, while Rinne's father worked to ensure her and Houtarou would be able to stop his machinations. Both are carrying on their father's will thanks to the other.

Speaking of which, at the Club Presentation, we get Suzuki and Takahashi, the actors who played KijiBrother and Sonoza, the Pink Donbrother and Orange/Brown Noto from Donbrothers, complete with a pink flamingo and an orange bowtie, and their actors are named Hirofumi Suzuki and Shinnosuke Takahashi. Their comedy bit is funny, even though some people speculated it was a ratings stunt despite clearly being casted for this because the producers thought they'd be fit. If you didn't watch Donbrothers, there's a story the yellow was trying to make called Next Level Hero that got plagiarized by herself from the future so she strived to make a story better, incorporating her superhero escapades into the rewrite.

And it's a nice character beat for them to help Mikuriya's dream of keeping the Drama Club alive by helping them do the play for Romeo and Juliet, only for it to be a debate Kajiki of all people starts over who should be Juliet XD. People have pointed he tends to end up romantically engaged in men or female, so I guess Kajiki's just in love with love, and honestly, based.

To upgrade the villains looks like we're getting a fusion monster. Taking four gold dolls, and merging them into one is a smart way to up the power scale.

Spanner's continuing lack of respect towards the Dark Sister's infighting will never not be hilarious, but the fight between Valvarad and Dread Type Three is handled pretty well. Dread would normally have the advantage, but because of the drain from using a triple Chemy from, Valvarad's able to close the gap using skill and wins the fight.

It is fun to watch the fight go from weapon play to brute force headbutts, shoulder tackles, and then a sniper shot point blank.

Still Lachesis is able to end the fight. She doesn't want to fight her sisters, but she also doesn't want to go against her new allies.

You do have to feel bad for Clotho in some sense: your dad spares you from torture only because you offer yourself for evolved transmutation, your younger sister makes it very aware she's willing to kill both of you out of blind loyalty, and the sister that cares for you the most doesn't even want to be around the family. The Arclight family in YuGiOh Zexal are many things, but at their worst only the father lost his love for them, Clotho's the one trying to hold everyone together and failing, which even a single child could empathize with.

Of course, it makes sense to introduce a blizzard monster. What's the best way to stop a raising heartbeat in love? A cold shower!

Atropos is basically just out to get revenge against her father figure. She wants to get rid Rinne's support group and make her alone and isolated just like before except now it's a new found conviction. Weird that she doesn't blame Houtarou, but one could point out that had he not met Rinne, this wouldn't have happened.

Oh yeah, Sabimaru and Renge don't know what Romeo and Juliet is. Which is fine, it's a classic, and according to the production notes, Houtarou and Rinne's actors didn't know much about it either so explaining it through a street theater pop up book style is pretty interesting.

Too bad there's a personally despise of Romeo and Juilet. Not because they're using the story, it's an interesting vehicle for this love triangle, but Romeo and Juliet isn't a love story. It's a tragedy of two idiots who could've had their happily ever after had one of them been smart enough to barely their eyes and alert the other. Thankfully this show actually has their characters communicate about their struggles, freaking Faiz had a better job than Romeo and Juliet but that's not saying much, yet still.

Tamami's back, love that she assumes Rinne will be Juliet, though Seina coming in with the whole "yeah, I was going to be his bride," promise, encouraging to practice a kiss scene. Even the most dense souls can see this girl is going deep for this man.

"Even I'd be in trouble if we fell for the same guy," Renge said it best herself. Then again if she was going for Sabimaru, Renge would be screwed. Shame he wasn't around for the Renge two parter, that definitely would've fit but given the injuries, it made sense while they didn't include it, although it's been teased something about them will get explored later.

It was interesting to have Seina confront Rinne before Houtarou got there. To the average person, hence the classmates she asked, they are dating, but Seina doesn't want to mess with him if he's in a committed relationship. Which is admirable. In most stories, it'd probably be revealed Seina was a monster, double agent, pretending to be interested, or trying to rile the main character up for conflict. It's only when Atropos gets into the mix does it become a problem.
