This episode did not go at all how I expect it to go, and I love it so much for it. First surprise was Mika. I was not expecting to get to know her so soon, and as you mentioned in the reaction, her personality is not at all what I thought it was going to be. Whenever I imagined the sister I imagined this sullen girl that had a grudge with her little sister because she was trying to do something that she failed at, maybe even with the world for taking away something that she really loved. I mean, from the way the mom framed that accident and not wanting Inori to go through the same thing, I was sure that the event had deeply affected the older sister... that is not at all what we get. Instead, we get a cheerful, loving girl that looks back fondly on her experience with figure skating and s excited for her baby sister to do something that she is enjoying a lot. I truly love the relationship that Mika and Inori have - Nori being the sister's nickname for Inori is the cutest thing ever - and how loving they are with each other. Inori deserves all more people to love her endlessly. Honestly, I think the mom was way more traumatized by whatever happened to Mika than Mika herself. And I'm so glad that we have moved on from all that drama and the mom recognizes now that Inori is not MIka and she deserves her full support on her dreams. Yes, I was getting really frustrated with the mom when she talked to Tsukasa as well xD Honestly, that little moment when she said "when" Inori failed the competition made me so mad because she was giving her daugther so little credit. I was so proud of Inori for speaking up and defending herself. The little girl giving Inori the shock and confidence she needed to realize that she needed to prove her mother wrong by trusting herself made my heart hurt a little, in a good way. And then Tsukasa once again being the best coach in the world ended making my heart double in size. I love all the support that Inori gets from him, I swear, and he is so good and gentle with her, never invalidating her feelings, as her mom was sadly often doing, but always reassuring that he will fight for Inori for as long as she is fighting for herself, that she is not alone; it just makes my heart go so soft. Another shock for me in this episode was seeing the dad just casually appear... because I was convinced that the mom was a single mom with a lot of pressure and that was also influencing how she reacted to Mika's injury and Inori's desire to figure skate. But, nope, this man is right there, trying to be supportive and perfectly fine xD I'm sorry dude, I had already put flowers on your coffin, my bad, lol. Inori's routine was another thing I did not see going as it did. I'll be honest, I was being an idealist and thinking that since Inori managed to land the sitting spin so well on the previous episode, and I think she needs to win this competition to give her the burst of confidence she needs, that the routine would go without a hitch. Nope, it goes with multiple hitches, and she even ends up falling right at the beginning of her routine, but she also makes up for it by pulling an even more complicated move because she was confident enough to try sometime that might not work because she believed in herself thanks to Tsukasa's words. I love it more this way to be honest; and I still think that she will win this competition to get her started on her journey. And now the mom is finally fully on board with helping her become an Olympic level medalist! Woo-hoo!

WAIT its so rare for shows like these for the mc to have two parents AND a mentor be present in their lives Inori really changed the game fr lmao

no nickname

For me, I never blamed inori's Mom at the first place. I thought her reasoning is fair enough while considering Figure-Skating is one of the TOP "Money sucking sports", it could Downhill so badly. So frankly, I kinda hated tsukasa's reckless attitude heading against the mom(especially ep1 - I still love ma boy tho)as if he understands all the pressure she needs to bear even after rejecting her daughter's fairy dream.

RIGHT?! For there to be a layered support system for the MC is pretty rare but I really like it and it adds a bit more complexity into the story! :D Thank you for the comment!

That is totally fine if you didn't blame the mom -- we can see and analyze from different perspectives! :) But I also totally get your point about Tsukasa not considering the mom's perspective when advocating for Inori, as much as we love to see him stand up for her! Thanks for the comment and sharing your perspective!

Right?! I love that this series is full of surprises! I love that these characters and their personalities are subverting my expectations! And yeah, the sister is NOT at all what I expected either; I was very pleasantly surprised. But I already enjoy the set up with Inori and Mika in this – how can you not root for Inori and appreciate her drive, passion, and courage!? I agree about the mom and Mika and glad we are moving past that drama already! And I’m THRILLED that Inori was finally called beautiful by that little girl, proving she already is part way towards her goal and what she wanted. Tsukasa is also so supportive; we love him for his sunshine labrador energy! And the DAD appeared! Wild, right?! I was not expecting him to just…BE THERE. I love that Inori gets her gloomy expressions from him! XD I love that Inori’s routine didn’t go “perfectly” but that she was able to adapt in the moment and get off that extra move that she just randomly picked up from Tsukasa - I love how it surprised Tsukasa and proved that kids pick up more than we let them on as. And yesss, I love the way she was able to do things “her way” in this sense and pull the routine off the best she could. A great start to her journey, indeed! Cheers to the next episode! Thank you for the comment!
