What occurs in episode 6 of the Sugar Sugar Rune anime and manga series by Moyoco Anno that will possibly maybe develop you question whether or now not Chocolat, the main female persona, is a appropriate friend to Vanilla, her supposed finest friend?
On this episode of Sugar Sugar Rune (#advert), Chocolat is of the same opinion to bear a fencing match with Pierre Tempête de Neige, the captain of the fencing club. If she wins in opposition to him, she’ll be allowed to hitch the fencing club.
Vanilla can even be fighting alongside Chocolat since they’re at a downside what with Pierre being extra an authority and skilled than they’re.
There are a assortment of scenes in this epi that roughly pissed me off, significantly with regards to Chocolat Meilleure / Kato and the scheme in which she treats her supposed finest friend. Why?
Okay, initially, Vanilla Mieux / Ice displays precisely what roughly friend she is by doing her finest to coach studying how to fence. She isn’t attracted to fencing and she’s simplest actually doing this for Kato.
And yet she’s so dedicated to studying that she spends the total evening practising, so essential so as that the following day, she is drained and sleepy and doesn’t bear essential of an appetite.
Kato doesn’t know what Ice modified into once as a lot as. She doesn’t know about her practising all evening lengthy for her sake. But they’re imagined to be finest pals so as that shouldn’t topic at all.
So, when she sees Vanilla having a to find drained and sleepy and never having essential of an appetite, shouldn’t she no less than demonstrate some hiss? As pals, she need to inquire if Ice is nice adequate, if she’s feeling successfully, if something is bothering her, and heaps others.
But none of that occurs. What will we receive as a replacement? We receive Chocolat being entirely callous and cold and uncaring and unconcerned. She says, “Can I actually bear your strawberry mousse?” when she sees the food on Vanilla’s plate.
What in the enviornment? Discuss being a execrable friend. They’re imagined to be finest pals, so the build’s the total hiss? In its build, we scrutinize Kato pondering with her belly. Sheesh, appropriate?
Happily, Kato redeems herself a runt of when she tries to cheer up Vanilla (it’s about time, Chocolat) when the latter is advance-tears after practising so essential and yet she finds that she restful can’t hit her fencing target.
When Chocolat sees this, she in the end displays some hiss and asks Ice if she wound herself. She tells Vanilla now not to be so onerous on herself after which even says that they need to tell together.
Correctly, it’s trusty to know that Chocolat Kato isn’t that merciless. It’d be nice if she modified into once extra attentive to Vanilla even though, if she showed extra care.
I suggest, it’s possible you’ll possibly maybe maybe additionally simply bear gotten Vanilla who’s entirely out of her consolation zone with fencing and who struggles to learn to fence and who’d otherwise be doing the rest else nonetheless fencing and yet she restful does it anyway and it’s focused on Chocolat’s sake. If that’s now not friendship, then I don’t know what is. What build you watched about all this?
