The more I consider Riki’s statement that his comment to Kud about not running away was “really talking to himself”, the more I think he’s referring to his narcolepsy being a form of running away from reality.Kud, while chained in prison, said very specifically that she had to get back “to help Riki and Rin”.Kyousuke’s comment that “terrible things don’t just happen in places that are very far away.” He could have been talking about events along the lines of Komari and her brother – or then again, he might not….On a related note: the comment that Kud had used the Little Busters as a way to adjust to her new world, and “If any of us were missing, that world would cease to exist.” I don’t know exactly what it means, but it means something.I refuse to believe their disappearance (this has happened twice with Mio that I’ve noticed) was a coincidence. Haruka and Mio were back with the group at the start of the episode, as if nothing had happened.Among the things that seemed odd this week:

LITTLE BUSTERS RIN NEKO SERIES
In a way Kud’s arc had to do some serious heavy lifting, because while I know there were earlier hints that will seem obvious if I re-watch the series after the second season, this was the arc were the work of rolling out the “secret of this world” really started. The extent to which that was true started to become apparent last week and even more so this, as Kud’s arc came to a generally satisfying conclusion. I had some forewarning (not through any choice of my own, mind you) that the Kud arc was going to be a pretty dramatic tonal shift from a series that’s already proved itself capable of some jarring ones. 「あなたの大切なもののために」 ( Anata no Taisetsu na Mono no Tame ni)Īh, Kud-o – superficially you may seem like a moeblob at first glance, but there’s no one else quite like you.
