Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! Ren - Episode 11

Mori Summer comes to Sophia's rescue. The entire season was a treasure hunt for Rikka. Something new arrives, while something old says farewell.

Shinka is best girl! Really, she's such a good friend who cares so much about others, especially her little band of chuunibyou sufferers. Maybe she really is 1200 years old... she's just as nosy as the neighborhood granny. She doesn't buy any of Shichimiya's stories that she's been recharging her Sophia power, and even goes so far as to make an appearance as Mori Summer, middle school uniform and all, to pray for Sophia and give her some advice about struggling with her other self, much to the jealousy of Dekomori, though.

As for Rikka making herself sick while rooting around power poles in the rain, we finally find out that everything she's been doing since the first episode was to find the 3 tokens, which were the key to unlocking the location of the Dark Flame Dragon. Yuuta had written an elaborate treasure map for the locations of the tokens. In the meantime, Rikka had been planting those supermarket crystals in a huge alchemical pattern at the base of power poles all around the city, plus marking where she had already looked, and she was beginning to panic because she hadn't found the last token before the all important night of the blue moon. The night-vision goggles and the metal-detector wand were all for this plan to unseal the Dark Flame Dragon, and prove that she holds the last and eternal contract with Yuuta. That's how her deepening love was manifesting itself, anyway.

She could have just asked Yuuta where the sealed dragon was. He didn't need a clue from the combined tokens to remember where he hid a black stone, under a causeway bridge, which was meant to be the heart of the black dragon. Letting Sophia defeat the summoned dragon was a neat way of exorcising her own feelings, not that things like real feelings can be defeated that way. She can't help but be affected by how much Yuuta cares for Rikka.

What a nice payoff to tie everything together for the whole season. That Dark Flame Master was kind of cool, in his own way, to affect events like this many years later. Looking ahead to the next episode, Shichimiya's time with our regulars might be coming to an end, with the way she says "bye bye." Bye bye indeed, since this season is almost over.
