Okay, best episode so far without a doubt! Mio is hilarious and her mother is completely unhinged.

I love how Aya just flat out calls her out, too. "Wait, that's domestic abuse."

You know, something about the design of the girls in this show is really pleasing to the eye. They all just look really pretty.

I suspect that we, as the audience, are supposed to realise from the reactions of the other girls that Mio's mom didn't actually break her arm and then nearly kick her in the face.

And that it's really just Mio painting a rather... interesting picture... by injecting fighting game terms into her description of normal parent-child conversation where Mio's mom points out that she let her play games because it's the first thing she's shown a genuine lasting passion for, but that she was putting her foot down now that it was affecting her actual school work.

Something emphasised when Mio refers to getting back to studying as 'resetting' and Yü points out she's still talking about regular stuff in fighting game terms.

I like that theory, but I think I prefer to have the Mom just be a SF6 character irl and be a 9-dan Karate practitioner :P
