I see ... very interesting, is this how people view the conclusion of Quintessential Quintuplets?

I have a completely different perspective of why Fuutarou ends up choosing Yotsuba in the Quintessential Quintuplets.

In the beginning, Fuutarou spending a day with that girl when he was a kid, initially plays a part in his life, because of him having a crush on that girl in the past, and he really does want to know who she was.

But essentially, it came down to how the girls acted in the current time period with Fuutarou.

When I rewatched the series, every other twin was resistant to Fuutarou being a part of their lives and each of them were selfish, the only twin that was selfless, caring, and helping Fuutarou was Yotsuba.

Even after all the other twins warmed up to him and even fell for him, they were all still selfish and self-centered, with the only twin not playing angles and politics being Yotsuba.

Fuutarou ends up caring for all of the twins, but Fuutarou actually develops feelings for Yotsuba, not because of her being the past crush, but for who she was during the current time period they shared together.

This is why I am like that Fuutarou chose Yotsuba over the others, he chose the twin that genuinely loves him in the present, and whom he also loves.
@ejleon perfectly summed up why Yotsuba was deserved winner. I have exact same belief. Goodness need to be rewarded. The one who is most helpful and nice from very start won.

There was also twister scene with Nadeko. That was the first thing I remembered when Seiha pulled out twister. Less tacky here but same good hot stuff.

@WaterMage Now that you mention it, you’re right lol, I actually forgot about that because it was 2019 when I last watched Nisemonogatari (I think that’s the season it’s in), toothbrush scene is from the same season but that’s a scene one doesn’t simply forget lol.

They gave a seriously annoying spoiler at the end of this episode, and made Banri-chan the winner... and the rest of them, 6 feet under... rip.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

now that i have seen this ep im 90% sure that kotono will be together with arata at the end even tho i dont like it, the other girls are much better options than kotono

Kotono is the only one who actually loves him, with honest feelings and a sincere confession.

While the others are all testing him and have not really been serious about this situation.

Even Ouka’s confession at the theme park was a test, not an actual confession.
@ejleon 100%, and my feeling sadly is that's why she won't win.

Wouldn’t that be an assumption on your part?

They only thing similar was the hairdo, so it could be throwing you off on purpose
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

Cool last episode we got Minami and Banri, but for this episode we got Seiha and Ouka with a little bit of Kotono and I liked it a lot, the twister scene was so funny but DAMN the angles of Seiha was getting to me bc I was not expecting so much fanservice shots of her but I ain’t complaining tho😩

Ouka’s been a lil weird like Arata stated and tbh I still she’s acting more bubbly than usual to keep her mind off her feelings for Arata most likely and this gaming session proved it, I mean that look on her face told us everything, and may I add that the art for her face and eyes were BEAUTIFULLY WELL DRAWN like Ouka really got some pretty ass eyes😍

Kotono fr just declared her love for Arata in front of all her sister like a declaration of war and I love that for her, like yes don’t let these ppl tell you that your feelings are just bc they think you’re “going through puberty/hormonal changes” like make ur sister panic Kotono👏🏽

I wonder who that was at the end? Was that Arata in the future with his daughter but I’m confused bc while his dad was looking at the portrait of his wife (Arata’s adoptive mom) he called her Chihiro, but in the flashback or the future whichever it is, the person called the little girl Chihiro. I’m confused asf man but that only makes me more intrigued in this story man🔥

Wow, they really are following "The Quintessential Quintuplets" script down to the letter.

Only thing they changed was, the MC is now the brother.

Wow, Kotono's declaration as well as the timeskip at the end. This has the vibes of QQ all over again. Ouka arc incoming??

Twister games in anime are always lewd and this ones no exception. That Seiha butt shot was hot. Ouka sees Arata in a new light as well. She looked so pretty in that close up shot. And Kotono declares her love and desire infront of the sisters. The Shiunji family can never be the same again.

We also got the classic vague flashforward for romcoms.

Arata clearly being worried about Seiha, and she just wants to play games...and also gain romantic atttraction with him? That's quite the bold statement when trying to play Twister with her, though Arata wants to steer clear of Seiha at all costs, something which he finds it hard to overcome. But given her upcoming exam prep, Seiha still being able to remain sane is quite the standard, as compared to Arata just simply overthinking too much about it.

Once she's done, it's Ouka's turn for a gaming session, which she puts in quite the practice...except that Arata gave her a run for her money, only to deck her into a compromising position, only for her to expect more from him? This certainly raises doubts for Kotono witnessing what she should not be seeing.

Arata's father Kaname raising quite the question for the eldest, while the sisters all talk converse about their ambitions about the "special someone", which Kotono raises the first flag that she's into him as a girl. And whatever it is, Arata would help provide a solid foundation for all his siblings, come what may of how the family would turn out.

Clearly, Arata is working for the family...but are the sisters getting ahead of themselves?

@WaterMage and yet nisekoi did a 180 and made the blonde girl win. In this series I feel its either going be seiha or the green girl... Or if the author decides to the trap route and make the brother a sister but acted like he was a guy sort of thing. Gender confusion trap.

So the ending basically confirms that he is going to marry one of his siblings?

Well it's a good thing that the dad seems to never be at home, bro would be constantly going "wtf"

We get the guy-falls-on-top-of-girl trope in this episode, but unlike the usual tsundere-kicking-the-balls response, she just walks it off, goes outside, and blushes a little. Calm and collected, and mature. Respect +100

Kotono drops a major bombshell right in the most densely populated area. Sure the ball was already rolling, but now it's barrelling down the hillside full-stop. Stuff is going to happen.

And at the end there we have a flash-forward showing Arata with his kid, and wife. Who's the wife you may ask? Maybe it's NONE OF THEM??!! If you ask me and probably most people, it should be Ouka as she seems front-and-centre stage right now, even though Kotono is the one ahead of the game. But really, so far, it would be totally fine if it were any of them; they're all good characters. IMHO Quintessential Quintuplets had 3 out of 5 that the general audience would have been satisfied with, so it sucked when it ended up being one of the other 2. For Cafe Terrace Goddesses, well, any of them except Ami LOL

Anyway, really looking forward to seeing how things will unfold now that Kotono has made her feelings fully known and official.

So they play twister... with no one to turn the wheel outside of the game. This doesn't make any sense. She's losing the pose everytime she turns it, so she lost instantly

Arata gets confused by his siblings and can't work out why. That game of Twister is fun as heck. Who could be the chosen one for Arata? No clue yet.
