That’s a lot of stability for playing guitar on rollerskates.
Impressions:
I feel like I had a stroke this episode. All the adults had started taking advantage of Cyan’s luck powers, the head dude starts yelling that it’s inappropriate and to not let anybody use her, smash cut to a couple years later where he’s installed her as the head of a cult and cashing in. Cashing in to… bring on other voodoo orphans that he just sets loose into the compound. Where they find electric guitars and practice in total secret to rock the house. She throws off her robes and it turns out she had rollerblaes on all along. Also, there’s a phantom drummer. But that makes the adults mad, so they rollerblade away. Like I said, do I smell pennies?
I guess it’s at least better than the entire E-Soul arc, and interesting that we’re now entirely in 2D land, but as far as origin stories go, this dragged a bit since Cyan herself was just a prop/Bocchi-reference the entire time, and especially the start felt like it was trying to foreshadow things for an entirely different arc. That one reporter just vanished into the wind. You’d think he’d be curious about the mystery child at the center of a conspiracy he was trying to unfold becoming a famous cult leader, but his daughter’s also a superhero and doing her own thing, apparently. But I feel like we still probably could’ve skipped the initial stuff with the nursemaid and gone straight to the cult, or at least, not had that one speech where the dude said how wrong it was before instantly doing it himself.
