I think you are right. This may be the reason the second half of the episode fell just a little flat for me. It really didn't seem like she was missing long enough to justify the overly emotional reunion.
Timeline according to the novel.
  • 2:00 The Hanadera battle starts.
  • 2:30+ Yumi leaves Sachiko
  • 2:55 Sachiko orders Yuki to search for Yumi.
  • 3:00 Yuki asks Alice about Yumi.
  • 3:30 The Hanadera battle is over. Soon after Sachiko reunites with Yumi.
So, according to Sachiko, Yumi went missing for about one hour. Not too short, but not that long either. But yeah, the anime doesn't make it seem all that long though.

According to your timeline, that's less than 25 minutes. The anime didn't make it look shorter than that. I thought it was more, honestly. After all, it's ridiculously short to panic.

Though it would be out of character for Yumi to let herself be sidetracked while running an errand for Sachiko, I suppose.

She has been missing for 40 minutes, according to Erica Friedman's novel translation.

Keep in mind the situation Sachiko's in. Men, men, men (or rather boys?) everywhere.

Yeah, but she knows she's irrational about it and that Yumi doesn't have a problem with being surrounded by men.

You're missing the point of the scene: Sachiko needed Yumi. It's not that she wanted to rescue Yumi (although that's the implied/surface story she told Yuuki), but that Yumi was her rock, her stability, what gave her the abilty to survive while surrounded by men, men, men (and two very tall twins on a very small platform).

PS: Also, I love the scene where Yuuki and some Hanadera guy both drop to one knee and bow to Queen Sachiko as she commands Yuuki to go find Yumi. In fact, I think I'll go watch that again right now:

Eh. It's implied she can put up with Yuki since he's a slightly taller, less cute version of Yumi. If she was that afraid for herself, she wouldn't have sent him away.

still I think it was nice that she send Yuki to search for Yumi and I don't really think that it was only because Sa-chan needed Yumi I mean I still think it's more because Sa-chan was worried, because if seh wasn't she wouldn't have climbed down the stairs

I guess the anime fail to show that Yumi actually got lost at some point. Before she kind found her way to the area where the event was happing. Yuuki maybe the only none family male she is would happy talk to. I am sure the fact that is Yumi brother is huge factor. I don't think there is anything that Sachiko dislike about Yumi.

Hmmm...Lately, I've been wandering why is Sachiko choose Yumi as her petite souer in the first place. Am I missing something somewhere either in the novel or manga or anime that stated the answer why?

If you read the manga, light novel or saw the first 3 episode you would see that Sachiko does not know why she approach Yumi the faithful morning. Sachiko point out that morning are not Sachiko strongest point and she acted unlike her normal self. Why she choose Yumi we may never know since she did in semiconscious state.


I guess we can discuss a "What if?" scenario. What if Yumi was not the girl standing there that morning would she had found Yumi at some time during the school year?

My personal opinion is this. Their intial meeting in front of the statue was chance, or perhaps fate. Later in the Rose mansion Sachiko was just backed into a corner by the Yamayurikai and did indeed pick Yumi becuase she was the first girl she came across. It was only later, after she got to know her during the school play story arc that Sachiko actually came to want Yumi as her souer for her own sake.

Well two thing happen which I feel are catalyst to further their relation. The first is the picture taken by Tsutako. If she hadn't take the picture Yumi would had never approach the Yamayurikai. Yumi is to shy it took a pushy friend to get her to go. The second one which play on Sachiko competitive nature. Sei making the penalty game for Sachiko to win over Yumi. BTW Sachiko truly show how competitive she is in the next OVA and Yumi has to calm her down quite often. You can blame Tsutako and Sei for Yumi and Sachiko becoming soeur.

I really love this scene! Sachiko suddenly turns on the Ogasawara family power switch and men start falling to their knees before her. This is a woman adept and skilled in the uses of power and she'll use it to get whatever she wants whenever she wants it. At that moment she wanted Yumi more than anything else. As Yumi has said on more than one occasion her onee-sama can be scary!

mmmmm... well, thats true, sachiko never really "knows" why she aproach yumi that day, I mean consciously. the "reasons" she gave were just her own speculations, or justifications XD I guess the best way to explain it is just looking it as a kinda love at first sight or a physical attraction, dont know. its like when you're walking on the street, and unexpectedly ,among all people, you're eyes get focused in one single peson without any reason aparently, maybe there'r nothing extraordinary about him/her and maybe it has nothing to do with a "sexual attraction" , but the fact is that you feel dragged to them. I can't xplain it very well, so if there's a psicology student here...... but I guess you got my point :P

in my opinion I think was destiny. I'm not trying to imagin or discuss any other scenario, 'cuz I'm someone who believes in ...well, destiny you can call me a real romantic

Does Sachiko really hate men, or does she just have a fear of them?

I think in the first meeting with the Hanandera Student Council, Sachiko's reaction to being embrased by "Alice" looks much more like panic or even terror (which would indicate she has a pathological fear or men), rather than the annoyance or anger she would feel if she just hated them.
