Restoration Plan No. 6 – “The Great Jahy Doesn't Seem to Stand a Chance...”
Hmm.
The Great Jahy became a total gag reaction comedy this week. In the aftermath of last week's episode, Jahy needed to process her fear of the person who destroyed her world. And how she's even more powerless to oppose her in the human world. The show decided to make Jahy jump at any utterance that sounded like "magic."
In the next act, The Great Jahy built upon Jahy's fear of the Magical Girl and how she could take her palm-sized mana crystal. Yes, she met the Magical Girl again! Her worst fears came true when the slightly bonkers Magical Girl took Jahy's crystal away! What can Jahy do now?
The Great Jahy can drink! I love watching pretty girls drink tall mugs of beer, so this scene spoke to me on many levels. Landlady added to the humor by becoming the opposite of her usual self. She's a happy drunk who sloppily encourages you and your drunk best friend. The Store Manager revealed some of her own quirks. A common character trait among big sisters in anime is to secretly love their little sisters in embarrassing ways. Taking pictures of Ryou-chan being a sloppy affectionate drunk just adds to Store Manager's charm.
Heh.
The Great Jahy has PTSD about the Magical Girl. Her trigger is the word "magic." How can Jahy laugh so loud with her head stuck in a garbage can? The Ladybeard Magical Girl is already famous in the neighborhood. Jahy lost her rock! Now what? Oh, good. The Store Manager picked it up for her. The Great Jahy still has great pride. Nothing would ever, EVER, terrify her! Oh? Jahy says she clawed herself up to the Number Two position in the Dark Realm. Can she not draw on her earliest experiences? The Great Jahy uses classic comedy setups here. Don't leave, Jahy! You need to take a bath first because you stink from dumpster diving!
The Great Jahy still makes a great stink. Oh, no. It's the Magical Girl? Those beauty marks under her eyes say yes. The way she says, "you there," also agrees. Ha! Magical Girl transformation in a flash! That should well trigger Jahy. She still wants Jahy's crystal while she's walking around with another rock. Misfortune! Magical Girl walked into an open manhole! There was no way Jahy won that easily. Yup! The Magical Girl is like the girly version of the Terminator and Jason put into a JK uniform!
More misfortune! Someone in a high rise has slippery fingers. Haha! The Magical Girl trained herself to be a masochist for all the tribulation a mana crystal gives humans. Uh, good job? She'll need that training! Here are more slippery hands! The ultimate insult again with stomping Crocs. We know The Great Jahy can't end it like that. Yes. Yes! Mahou Shoujo Transformation! And she just stole Jahy's crystal! What a rotten day for the Great Jahy.
Time for drinking the sorrows away. I approve. Adult Jahy drinking mugs of beer is way better than toddler Jahy chugging ale. The Great Jahy makes frothy ales look enticing. Wait a minute. Why does Store Manager agree with Jahy's memories about what the Demon Lord allowed her to do? She says Jahy's the Number Two of the bar, so it's the same thing!
Aha. Landlady joins the drinking party. Oh, fun. Sweet, beautiful drunk talk. This sounds just like Uzaki getting drunk... Hoh. Landlady is Jahy's drunken best friend! She's the best drinking buddy ever! Landlady loves her big sister too. Uh oh. The Store Manager likes taking pics of her younger sister being cute! I've learned a lot about Landlady and Store Manager. I'm fulfilled.
Hohoho. Waking up naked next to another girl! The Great Jahy goes there! The Store Manager has proof of their drunken bestie's behavior!
The omake shows Jahy stir-frying bean sprouts at succeeding levels of fanciness. That reminds me of One Punch Man's series of "normal punches." Next time, the Great Jahy "don't play dat!"
