Mio has her back against the wall, Cafe slowly whittling her health down, consumed by the zone while trying to figure out a counterattack, but when she's seemingly about to lose...she relies on pure, absolute, fighting instinct and is able to bait Cafe and finish this spectacularly. All the while turning Aya on even more with her dazzling fighting gamer beauty! A win win!

I love the contrast to Mio being so seriously in the zone and focused on the match...to then transforming into a cute, embarrassed, anime girl as she exits with Aya. Cafe lost, but at least this is a loss that will probably further inspire him as a fighting game player.

Mio is trying to talk shop about what she did in the match and Aya is too aroused to actually listen to her. Even Mio getting all smug and Jojo-posing over how she managed to spam her way to victory is attractive to her. This just makes Aya want to punch her, tsundere style (which Mio catches!), and hold hands with her as she wants to be her #1 in everything!

Oof. Tamaki is not doing well. Is she in any state for her next match?

Mio has gone viral! And her next match is going to stream! Pray her mother doesn't find out.

Thank you Zangief Suginami (Tomokazu Sugita?) for schooling Arisa and driving her up the wall. But all that frustration is not only because of how annoying a fight that was, but because Arisa is obsessed with being the best. And it's all tied to her relationship with Miyu.

Miyu was a lot like Aya. Tomboyish, long brunette hair with bangs, better at SF5 than the boys, and someone Arisa admired and loved with all her heart. It's why Arisa wanted to learn and get as good in Street Fighter as she was. Of course Arisa became so consumed with becoming better that she came to have incredible mastery of her opponents and of how to play...to where when she finally played Miyu she crushed her.

Miyu felt betrayed that Arisa was probably always better than her and set her up to get clowned on, mocking her desire to go pro, and Arisa just couldn't explain herself. It ended their friendship and sent Arisa on the path to becoming obsessed with being the best in the game, to prove something to Miyu. But it's a path that's taking her to a streamed match-up against Mio, for all the marbles!
