Why it matters
The episode repeats the show's pattern of giving a character hope and then taking it away, and the review reads that repetition as the point rather than a flaw.
Key Facts
- Episode 7 of FX Fighter Kurumi-chan follows Mebuki after she has lost her income and is subsisting on bread and water soup.
- The episode contrasts Mebuki with Kurumi and Mochiko, who come off as knowing what they are doing, and with Yasuko, who had little to invest.
- The review notes that Kurumi committed theft from her own father three episodes in.
- The review describes Mebuki's situation as the clearest depiction of addiction the show has done.
The episode contrasts her fall with Kurumi and Mochiko, who appear to know what they are doing, and with Yasuko, who had little to invest and so less to lose. The review calls the episode an escalation of the same arc Mebuki went through last week.
Mebuki's situation in episode 7 is worse than last week's: no income, bread and water soup, and the same bet still running. The episode sets her against Kurumi and Mochiko, who come off as competent, and against Yasuko, who had little to invest and less to lose. It also brings up Kurumi's theft from her father three episodes in, and draws a line between the two: Kurumi was never in danger of abject poverty, never skipped school, never had to refuse snacks to visiting friends or cut her own hair to save money. The review describes the result as the clearest depiction of addiction the show has done, sharpened by Mebuki having read one book and believing she understands the market.
