High-Rise Invasion - Episode 3 - Yuri Celebrates Phone Call

Yuri was ecstatic to connect with her brother again after a Mask destroyed her phone when she first arrived.

Yuri and Mayuko shake hands to cement their bond. Yuri is conscientious in destroying the masks they found. Yuri stomps! Yuri smashes! Mayuko blushes. She’s already fallen in love. Mayuko has a phone! Yuri is orgasmic. Mayuko blushes at Yuri holding her hands! Haha! Yuri’s total victory pose when she connects with Onii-chan. She’s so relieved. Mayuko thinks they must be close. She’s perceptive.

Yuri catches her brother up on what’s happened to her during High Rise Invasion so far and her plans. Gather allies, seize the helicopter, and escape. Onii-chan claims he knows where Yuri is based on the helicopter and sunset information. He can come to her, but she needs to do one thing first. Kill Mayuko Nise. Uh… After imagining shooting Mayuko in the face, how about no, onii-chan? Whew. I’m glad to know Onii-chan isn’t that ruthless, but that was a terrible way to test his little sister’s resolve. Yuri is mad at him, saying he has a twisted personality. The sibling duo of High Rise Invasion makes a great team.

Yuri is such a nice girl! She hugs Mayuko super tight for imagining “something strange.” Mayuko has questions but likes the attention. She’s a tsundere, though, so she can’t say that out loud. Onii-chan took out many Masks at his location. Funny. Yuri takes the rope bridge with two hands, while Mayuko casually strolls along behind her. Mayuko likes what she sees! I do too!

High Rise Invasion finally tells us who Onii-chan is. Sledgehammer Man. He has a complex about his name “Rika,” which doesn’t sound manly to his ear. Yuri is so proud though because the kanji for his name uses “reason” and “fire” (理火). Rika is relentless with his sledgehammer. Making sure the Masks thoroughly follow their Command to die. Yuri’s commentary about how nice her brother while he turns a dude’s head into paste is hilarious.

Rika has buddies. Friendly reunion over in an instant. High Rise Invasion never lets up. Uh, there’s blood on the heavy metal ball. It hit somebody! Wow, cartoon violence is bad, kids. Baseball Pitcher Mask throws cannonballs. Do Masks have supernatural powers? We saw Maid Mask leap between buildings in the first episode, so it’s a possibility. Whoa. Baseball Mask’s throw buzzed Rika’s ear. Rika recognized that Masks have Commands, but they also have personalities, so why not capitalize on that? That’s a promising idea, but this pitcher obviously likes throwing beanballs.

Hahaha! Rika has funny moments in High Rise Invasion like his sister. He’s self-conscious about role playing. Ah. Baseball Mask threw a strike. Rika’s gamble paid off. Odd. It was more important for Rika to smash the dude’s mask. Alright, now’s the time to pay attention. Baseball Mask (without a mask) refers to “levels” and becoming the “God of this realm.” Is High Rise Hell supposed to be High Rise Heaven?

O ho. There was someone behind that locked door. Dealer Mask has a frowny mask like that Soldier Mask shooting from the helicopter in High Rise Invasion’s last episode. The Masks have “levels” too. She recommends a path to becoming God – “Be cautious.”

Uh oh. Rika thinks Sniper Mask is dead because Yuri said so. Plot point! He agrees with Yuri about destroying High Rise Hell because it pisses her off. Do it!

Mayuko loves catching glimpses of Yuri. Me too! Yuri is girly, worrying about using a bush as a toilet.

Suddenly a wild, hmm, a mild high school girl appears. Talk, fight, run? Of course, we’ll talk. More High Rise Invasion plot development. The Commands say no making a God candidate despair. The Command voice became quite talkative. Sniper Mask now knows High School Hell is a facility to create God. Well, the more you know. Does this mean he leveled up too, like that Baseball Mask did? My jaw dropped. The Command voice calls Masks “Angels.” Huuuuuh. Mild High School Girl cares. She cares about Angels.
