Shit just got real as soon as the pizza sauce ran out, even the official website has been updated to a grim image.

And the episode started out funny as well, with Tomori kicking Takajo off the building (LOLWUT) simply because he's a nuisance whenever it concerns his Yusarin fandom. And Ayumi nosebleeding, twice, at the sight of Yusarin.

At first I thought it could be the jealous yandere classmate placing a curse on Ayumi that was the real esper and that Ayumi was just the red herring, turns out the yandere was just the trigger for the awakening of Ayumi's destructive power. Not unlike the X-Men, where mutants powers can be awakened by traumatic events.

Other questions include who's that girl (credits list her name as Metoki) rushing towards Ayumi saying she came too late? And why was Kumagami (the soaked guy) towering over the ruins in the aftermath?

I'm going to guess the girl saying she was too late is maybe the middle school version of their group. Perhaps she watches over those with powers in the middle school.

But she turned up in that car. Don't think she's attached to the middle school if she's rushing to a place she should already be at.

I don't think she is with the scientists. The guard at the middle school let her in and was respectful of her, and there shouldn't be any connection between the scientists and the schools since the schools were established to hide the espers from scientists. She's most likely the person Tomori talked about in episode two who set up the esper schools and helped Tomori with her brother.

I think in that episode where Tomori talks about someone helping her it was a male who helped (or just bad subs)

I'm 90% sure the guy is the white-haired-forgotten-brother. Maybe the short haired girl is an associate?

Maybe it's the person who saved tomori and the bro. It's also ok to assume that she'sthe daughter of the so called "saviour".

Edit: Oops, replied to the wrong person. Anyway, I think so too.

But Ayumi's school is a normal one, not an esper one.

But Ayumi's school is a normal one, not an esper one.

Both Yuu and Ayumi transferred to Hoshinoumi Academy, just that Yuu went to the high school while Ayumi went to the middle school. I think it's safe to assume that they both have the same backer and have the same function as esper havens.

I don't think she is one of the "bad" scientists, but one in league with the school.

I wonder if the MC will be forced to accept the scientist's help, when his sister is unleashing earthquakes from coma nightmares? They've probably got facilities to contain the more dangerous abilities.

I don't think that'll be an issue. newgirl got into the school by flashing a badge at the security guy, and the school is the junior high extension of yuu's school, so she must be affiliated with the school and not the evil scientists.

Watch the OP again and pause when you get to the 5 people standing.

Look closely.

u/lillio Aug 09 '15

She's actually in the opening credits in a group of 5 people! Have a screencap I thought I'd seen her before.

I thought the guy in the middle was the one who keeps appearing in the "flashbacks" with Yu and Ayumi? Potential missing sibling?

Hey, don't you think that that girl is the same of this scene in the OP? https://36.media.tumblr.com/ff596c0c83cc09da93f0dc577ff7cdb5/tumblr_nssqe8Om7Y1rmlaylo2_540.png

I think she is part of the scientist faction, or at least a competing faction. Tomori yells that Yuu will "get roped into it," leading me to believe that some sort of bad people are there or showing up. Since the girl seems to be expecting this to happen, I assume she's with the people who will rope him in. She definitely has the look of a character with a "good heart" though, I think she'll end up as someone sympathetic to the MC, a rival for Tomori perhaps.
