Chapter 3: Courageous Strike
They have to win in the fight for points Bumpall. Ashley and Lavie seem good, but their problems make them mercilessly lose in the first game. The misunderstandings are resolved, with excuses in between and with more attitude, they decide to go into battle. They win four games in a row, they get their series, but they find it is their turn against Emilia's team, who is noir. After an interesting series of games, they manage to reach the two, Tiara gets the advantage over Emilia, but she believes they have already won and they give her a shot in the back and two again. This condemned the game and the girls lost. In the bathrooms they receive congratulations from Emilia's group and especially from them.
Chapter opinion
Sports competitions are usually interesting and engaging just because we want our protagonists to win. I would say that this was an entertaining chapter for the use of magic. Did it contribute to the development of the plot? I would say that Tiara and Emilia meet and have an approach. It seems that they are introducing us indirectly to the others Idols that will appear and we can see that in the opening. Although I really enjoyed the chapter (I even took a screenshot of the 17:32 minute that appeared to me the most delicate picture I saw in this anime), it makes me a little impatient because I can hear her singing or more Seeing groups sing would like less rehearsals I understand that you are building the world and the characters, but please don't take too long.
collect points
We already saw in the first chapter that the girls urgently need to get points, they have already tried to collect points in other ways and they have done it badly, now in a mandatory event they hope to get them. He Bumpall It's a game that is very much like burned games, except that with magic (I would say it's the same thing, just that they take something out of it and add something different), it's not difficult to understand the game. The girls will join Melisa, Lily and Coco to participate. It seems to me that these girls will not be very good, especially Melisa, although it is good that they gave her an outstanding character design.
Bad start
The first team they have to face is against Angelica and Lucifer (the main characters have names that refer to something, in this case the angels and ex-angels Lucifer. These names do justice to who you are ). Lucifer has devastating strength so they can easily win and there are two other reasons: Ashley and Lavie's fight along with Angelica and Lucifer's fight. The last two start arguing in the middle of the game and decide to end it quickly to solve their fight. By the way, most of the Tiara chapter is not that important, the first half is recorded by Ashley and Lavie together with the "Angels".
Trouble in paradise
The problem between Ashley and Lavie occurred because the first Lynette gave a handbag that she had made herself. Lavie sees that and is angry. The context and what the little girl is like makes us assume that it is because of her mood, her jealousy and her selfishness, but the reason was deeper than this. Birthdays are important events for certain people. If an important person doesn't greet you on your birthday, it usually hurts. That was what happened, Ashley didn't remember her birthday (what the anime doesn't make clear is whether it's her birthday on the same day) and she gave Lynette something. When Ashley found out, she acknowledged her mistake, apologized, and promised her lots of clothes. The problem is solved.
Restoration
Lavie is simple, even though she is very childish, you are asked for forgiveness and sincerely offered something (even if it is tiny), and she forgives you. The friendship recovered and the tension eased. This allowed them to focus on the competition and win their games. I admit I thought they were losing, I didn't trust them, but they did the opposite. So they recovered from the painful defeat. Angelica and Lucifer continued to fight. The girls meet Ratura, Champe and Maryberry (this is without a doubt my favorite), so they find out that they will be playing against Emilia because Maryberry and Company are also on their team.
victory
The confrontation is brutal. Emilia along with Alpha and Salsa are enough to win. Salsa is a little girl with overwhelming strength, Alpha is a magical girl with great skills and abilities that Emilia has power consumption and it's the smartest of the three. In contrast to Ashley, Lavie, Tiara, Lynette and Rosetta, who have the power of protagonism. There was something funny about Lynette, who slaughtered salsa with magic. For this trick, they manage to recover and reach the two despite the four-point punishment. The rest is history. Team Emilia wins. Although they didn't get 60 points, they won 30, ending their drought. At the end of the chapter, Emilia and Company take a bath with the lapis just to congratulate Tiara, since she was the only one who took a point from her. Tiara gets excited, grabs her and passes out, forgets about energy consumption.
I hope you don't have enough time to see these animations and the songs they'll release. I was pleasantly surprised that Lapis is in the top 10 in Japan and speaks of anime, which shows a lot of Japanese taste for this type of anime. I hope they show Maryberry more, PLEASE!
