If not for the Kitattack drawing Nijika's gaze away, Bocchi wouldn't have been able to close the final distance. Good teamwork all around.

What I find interesting is that in most media and so forth getting shot by the local cupid type of thing is full on love-of-your-life you don't get over it kind of love, whereas here it seems that if it stays one sided long enough, one can. Makes some of the collateral damage of cupid fights less tragic, I suppose.

Also worth noting that OG Cupid had two kinds of arrows; the lead ones either ended love or made someone outright dislike a person. Makes me wonder if there will be anti-cupids or fallen ones consumed by their jealousy later on.

Nice little headcanon, brainrot or not. Occasions like this, where a situation goes from 'the joke is no one knows their name' to 'the person in question considers the title a vital part of their life, no less valuable or essential to them than their actual name' and that's why everyone calls them by it are interesting.

So if one were so inclined it might be said that she has a... Nui harem, ey?

Another important facet here is that if you go with the theory that the curse or whatever has been causing the accidental deaths around her has an emotional trigger (whether negative in general or aimed at Tokiko), this is probably going to make Aoya vulnerable. Up until now he's been fairly detached from the whole business, it's a regrettable necessity from his perspective, but for all that he planned far ahead it still wasn't personal.

Now though? Even if he's just going through the motions with replacement little sister (which I doubt, whether or not he was going to kill her too at some point) she just stepped right onto what ought to be a major trauma button of his. I don't think he will be maintaining his calm.
