No wonder Ravenclaw was my favorite house...
/serious mode Well, this kind of theme of having the 4 classic virtues (temperance, prudence, fortitude and justice) or some variation of the theme battling each other is not new at all. It is quite the recurrent literary resource actually.... though the trope has evolved quite some from its humble origins I guess.

Because they're both the main characters and the "good guys." Funny how that works out.
This list is really oddly accurate. Quote:

You know, I was thinking the exact same thing as I wrote that, and even thought about linking to that exact page. But in the end, I decided that there wasn't enough to hint a villan protaganist, and decided not to link it. Glad someone did post one though. Although I feel bad for the poor shmucks who are now going to end up wasting hours on the tvtropes website as new tabs open up like cell multiplication. This includes me. Can't... resist...tropes...

Still trapped. But yeah, while seen from Kiyosumi's perspective, it was a heroic victory that paid off their hard work. But from another character's perspective, Momo, for example, Saki basically stole the victory from them. (Even though technically Koromo would of won instead)

Huh? Somehow I had thought this was the last episode, and I was going to say that they had managed to come with a good closure after such a lackluster filler arc. But to think to it continues after this... I cannot help to think that they will ruin it.

Well, you just have to learn to live with it since it seems the production team have almost run out of budget, what with the incredible quantity of reused animations in the last arcs.

Is the next episode the last one? I thought that this one was. Loled at the Momo suddenly appearing at the pool, but was kind of expecting that. Kyoutaro had a weird expression during the festival though. It felt... odd of place. And for some reason reminded me of Kittan from TTGL.
