Charlotte - Episode 4 "Moment of Earnest"

She seems to at least not like Jojirou.

I also kind of want to know how long Nao and Jojirou were scouting power users to the school before the show started. Was it only a coupe months before they got Yuu? I assume since they’re first years and need to be part of student council for their job it hasn’t been that long.

Do we even know if there are any power users in the school who aren’t in some way part of the student council? We’ve got the water dude, but he’s still sorta in the council. (and it wouldn’t be too out there if his powers were fake anyhow)

Good question but I can’t imagine they are the only ones, i mean what about all of the ones they capture on a practically daily basis? They are no were to be seen.

We haven’t had anyone bar the Yusa and Misa join the School. The others were left to their own devices.

Oh? i thought the idea was that they would make them join their school for their own safety. So if she let the others go why was Nao so adamant about Yuu joining? Maybe because she knew she could use him?

I think alot of peeps are attributing too much of a “Nao is using these people because she wants to and is good at manipulating people.” vibe. When we have had it very clear that she trusts like one person. I would just say something like it’s dependant on that person she trusts.

I’d assume Hoshinoumi Academy is the major safekeeping place. Yuu had already attracted attention with his antics so telling him to stop using his powers probably wouldn’t have been enough. Plus the guy would’ve just outright ignored them if they hadn’t forced him into their school.

She even says “btw you’re also joining the council, because your power is pretty useful” as almost sort of an afterthought to having him join Hoshinoumi.

Yusa is an idol, which means she knows how to deal with people. She can reduce most males of certain ages to drooling vegetables. Though she doesn’t even have to take part in a conversation. As an idol, she can make a difference just by standing there and being pretty. Also note that Misa’s soul is not necessarily the only one Yusa can channel, which might help in some rare cases.

Misa has a short fuse, a violent personality and the ability to create fire. All of those are effective means of threatening people when used wisely.

Who the heck is Takahiro? And no. Takajou’s ability usage is hard to perceive with the naked eye and usually results in injury for him. Producing fire from one’s palm or randomly setting things on fire without touching them, however, is extremely fearsome. Fire itself scares people if it’s not where they want it to be.

So then why is she letting them join her in discovering those with powers? And why are they even apprehending these people if they don’t care whether they join the school or not?

@Naoki_Saten lol chill dude it’s just a discussion, anyway I guess this went full circle in that we think Yusa is there to deal with people. Misa is useful for intimidation while Yusa is the good cop in a sense.

@Karifean that’s a good point, they either seemed wise enough to either stop using their abilities or at the very least be cautious about it, Yuu would have most likely ignored their warning completely.

Like I said: Depends on that person she trusts.

We’ve also already been given reasons for the latter. That they only make them join the school for their own safety, if they’ll be safe without it or w/e they’re fine on their own.

I don’t understand why should would trust Yuu but I suppose she seems to, and yes that makes sense about why they apprehend them, I guess I thought their goal was to get everyone with a power to their school for their own safety, even for those who could live without using it.

Speaking of that Hoshiumi pitcher: Didn’t he sound like Yoshino from Rewrite? I think the similarity is quite striking.

You are implying that I wasn’t being chill even though all I did was participating in this very discussion. I’d like you to refrain from random accusations.

It was your wording my man,

Maybe I’m just being defensive but that seemed unnecessarily wry, didn’t mean to offend you

I usually mean it as a joke whenever I say it, but it does seem like the only logical explanation orz

You gotta remember that it was also broadcast on TV, which Nao would have seen. That girl does a lot of research!

Well, Misa has proven to be very useful as well, so they might have more use for Misa :wink:

There might be, but I guess we won’t really find out, huh :o

@Aspirety @Kanon

He also gets like the most important power out of it, learns a valuable piece of info from learning to take things on with the human side- and ALSO it presents the idea that you can cheat to win in a sport with your powers, but it doesn’t make you a good baseball player, and it ALSO also explains that in order to be genuinely good you have to work, work, and work, you can’t just up and beat a team in one day.

Nah pointless filler.

Fuck you this is a good episode.
