Episode Context

The school setting snaps back into focus as summer fades and a new term kicks off, putting Nendou front and center in what amounts to a character spotlight wrapped in the show's trademark rapid-fire comedy. Expect the usual Saiki formula executed well: psychic deadpan meets aggressively oblivious classmates, with Nendou's particular brand of lovable idiocy driving the gags. The pacing stays brisk and sketch-like, cycling through comedic setups that play off the group dynamics fans have come to expect by this point. What gives this entry a slight edge is a hint of genuine introspection buried under the absurdity. Nendou gets a beat of melancholy that the title promises, though the show never lets sincerity linger long enough to interrupt the laughs. A solid mid-run comedy episode that rewards investment in these characters.
