With Madoka’s father seemingly giving up both alien hunting and being a stern father the whole “Fuyuki is Darknest” theory might be shot at this point (that said, there was brief moment in the previous episode where he looks shocked, glances straight at Kappard with a serious expression on his face for a second, and then goes right back to looking shocked).

I’m fine with him being just a random jerk though as long as he actually learns something from his behavior (especially after the crap he pulled with Lala). This episode looks like it’s at least laying the groundwork for that though (even if it did seem to let Fuyuki off the hook a little too easily in my opinion). The episode also featured one of the better fights in the season and a nice scene between Madoka and Elena.

I’m still curious why they’re hiding the name of Darknest’s VA though but I imagine we’ll find out soon enough. Since they’re doing the Christmas episode early this year I’m guessing Hikaru’s Twinkle Imagination episode will come directly after that, at which point we’ll break for new year’s like always and then jump straight into the final arc of the show.

Looking forward to a double dose of Elena coming up though. It might be a rough one though as she looks like she’s about ready to cry at the end of the preview (or snap, one of the two). It took way longer than it should have but I’m glad they’re at least finally trying to give her some development at this point. I agree and I am so hyped for the final arc (when it comes out) as well as finding about the true identity of Darknest!
