Shikimori isn’t just a Cutie Episode 9 Summary
Izumi is absent from school in the episode’s first part. Izumi has a fever and decides to miss school for several days in order to recuperate.
Instead of asking Shikimori to help, he texted Inuzuka instead and asked him for notes. Shikimori feels jealous of Inuzuka and sulks.
Inuzuka was therefore compelled to ask about Shikimori’s feelings towards Nekozaki, Hachimitsu and other people. Because of her actions towards him, he believes she hates him.
Inuzuka mentions Shikimori as well, considering him a rival in Izumi’s eyes. Hachi and Neko told him otherwise.
Shikimori asked Izumi if he would accompany him to Izumi’s house after classes. Inuzuka accepts, despite his anxiety. Neko tells Hachi that he will follow Inuzuka and Shikimori around, as it will only be them.
Shikimori and Inuzuka decide that they will go to a local shop to buy some comfort food for Izumi. Shikimori asks Inuzuka what Izumi prefers while shopping, as she has difficulty choosing.
To Inuzuka’s delight, Shikimori refers to him as “Onii–san,” or brother, throughout the process.
Shikimori realises what she did wrong and tries to keep her silent. Surprised, Shikimori gave Inuzuka the grape-flavored snack to thank him for helping with Izumi. He accepts the gift and realizes that Shikimori doesn’t hate him.
Hachimitsu appears unannounced and explains Shikimori’s behavior to Inuzuka. She explains that Shikimori acts this way towards Inuzuka due to Shikimori’s older brother. Shikimori also notices it and teases Shikimori to Shikimori’s dismay.
The second half of this episode is about Shikimori, Nekozaki and Kamiya’s friendship. Nekozaki invites Kamiya to a fun day. They met at the arcade and became close friends.
Nekozaki recalled inviting Kamiya to come out, only for her to decline. She also recalls the comments made about Kamiya. Kamiya’s classmates believe she is a snob and prefers to spend time alone than with her classmates.
This has led to Nekozaki believing that Kamiya is now more open and honest. She smiled more authentically and seemed more friendly and kinder.
Shikimori, Kamiya and others form a close friendship over a claw-machine and win some prizes. They played basketball together with some street girls.
Kamiya realized that she was having just as much fun with Shikimori. It was her first experience with something like this. Kamiya finally asks Shikimori if she would like to become her friend and meet up with her again. The latter graciously agrees.
Kamiya and Nekozaki discuss many topics on the way back. Kamiya allowed Nekozaki to ask her questions, which she politely answered.
Nekozaki on the other side, however, wants to know about the person who influenced Kamiya. Kamiya is unable to answer the question but believes telling Nekozaki about Izumi will only make things more complicated.
Shikimori’s not just a cute episode 10 review – Sports Time!
Even the most staunch Shikimori supporters will admit that the show has lost much of its spark since its inception. It lost its novelty and charm as time went by or we got used to its plot and characters. The show’s COVID required breaks, which helped to remove it from the public consciousness a bit faster than it would without it. Perhaps the magic was meant to last for a short time, and not for a long time.
Evidently not. It was one of the most memorable episodes of the show, and it certainly had the magic that captured the attention of the audience when they first saw it. This episode was different because it didn’t focus on Shikimori or Izumi but instead focused on a character who has been there from the beginning on the sidelines. Although the main characters were not needed to make this episode as great as the first, they still played their roles.
Shikimori’s Episode 10 of Not Just A Cutie was Hachimitsu’s episode. She was always a confusing character on the show, always present in the frame and not reacting beyond her unique expression. She was the funny, zany character that was kept around for comic relief. As the Fonz proved, comic relief characters can be as interesting as the main characters and even more popular than the Fonz. Although Hachimitsu may not be the most well-known, she is still interesting.
Shikimori’s Episode 10 of Not Just A Cutie was also the sports festival episode. This meant that there was lots of team spirit and friendship. The race was a bit more competitive because all five members of the main group were also participating. Hachimitsu, Izumi and others were always going be outnumbered in sports events like this. But what the show did was amazing with them. Even the most depressed characters can be felt. Friendship can overcome all obstacles. Isn’t that what anime has taught us?
Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie Episode 10 was also very emotional. It came out of nowhere and hit like an earthquake. This episode featured more still frames than usual in the series. This is because animators were unable to fill the time due to budgetary or other constraints. This is unfortunate, but it is normal in this instance. If the episode was this good, even with this liability, it isn’t too much of a problem. This episode also featured a great soundtrack, which was a big plus.
Verdict
Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie Episode 10 was a great episode and an emotion-filled ride.
