10 Second Anime: The World God Only Knows - Goddesses Arc - Episode 9

The World God Only Knows - Goddesses Arc - Episode 9

Aw, poor Chihiro, to fall in love with a heartbreaker like Katsuragi. Ayumi is next on the list. And now we know where Vintage's plot is headquartered.

Katsuragi is like a dog chasing a car: he has no idea what to do with girls after he catches them. In a dating game, you win, you kiss, you get a nice little epilogue, and then you start the next game. Real life and real love is not like that, obviously. Being part of the loose souls retrieval team for New Hell was perfect for his skills as the God of Conquering video game girls, since capturing the loose soul inside a host made that person forget everything after the possession. The deal with the goddesses is that they were already "inside" the girls with loose souls, so they remember falling in love with Katsuragi.

In Chihiro's case, it just seems inconceivable to Katsuragi that a normal girl would start to like an unsociable nerd like he is. But, love is not rational, and Katsuragi is not irredeemable with how he treats Elsie as seen from her school band mates. But yeesh, Katsuragi let down Chihiro harshly, even too harsh for him. It can't be helped though, because he's got a mission and a deadline. Things are more complicated because Ayumi watched her best friend's heart get stomped. Maybe it won't be that difficult, since Mercurius already seems to be awakened, but the power of love needs to bring out the goddess's full power. Hmm.

That is Diana's problem with Tenri. Her power was never fully awakened, and she doesn't have the wings that her sisters do. Things need to get rushed.

And speaking of rushed, I like how the producers bolted on to the back of this episode how Katsuragi found the lair of Vintage's evil plot to use these evil loose souls. Ooh, plot progression.
