Nadeko is alright and, as a character, I like her too, but damn I love Shinobu in that scene. The way she brings to light the insecurities, the realization that she’s been trying to figure Nadekos appeal (part of why she was staring her down in the Cram school in Bake), the smug face, the laugh, the confidence, the strawberry imagery used for the enchantress analogy, cuteness, great wardrobe, the call to action… flawless character. I can’t wait for you to watch the next two.
Nadeko may be young, but she is not stupid. She knows perfectly well what's going on. But if she lets herself be the victim, she can act all the more like a victim, and receive pity from everyone around her. You said it yourself last episode, didn't you? That it was an ugly thing to be harsh to a pitiful victim. You should cherish her instead, and do what she asks of you, she is an innocent girl without ulterior motives after all...
Love how accurate Shinobu describe Nadeko trait personality and even ended up hinting that she uncapable to act like that if she wasn't born cute. Shinobu approve that Nadeko is cute but don't like Nadeko as a person.
Your comments this episode were super on point. I dont have much to add right now, i will probably have enough to say for the rest of the arc.
"you're the next cutest thing to me"
"good for you that you just happened to be cute"
mann this hit different after knows shinobu's past
This episode definitely felt like it was ripping apart insecurities lol. It was a really fascinating perspective though
Despite how she looks Shinobu has a pretty sharp tongue
Nadeko is literally me (even tho I'm hachikuji)
Hachikujiiiiiiii!!
I laughed when you wrapped up the episode in the first minute lol
Hahaha, it's very fascinating watching you experience this arc.

Well, absolutely true
She also want to change herself for the better but was too “ insecure and coward” to find a way to change
