Episode 6:
Aww shit man, this is gettin' real now. Haruo's finally moving forward, unknowing that they're set to be separated and Oono is likely fighting to make herself feel like it's okay. Even if she wins, it won't really make it okay, but that's probably what she's telling herself.
I think people are writing off my thoughts on the Hidaka vs Oono arc a bit too soon... Yes, clearly there was a great deal more to Oono's pained expression than I suspected what with the going off to America thing, but that doesn't exclude anything. They've withheld the conclusion of that battle for much too long for it to be nothing, especially when you consider this episode's scene of Oono deciding she has to settle things with "her" and entering what was definitely Hidaka's family's shop. Tbh I'm expecting Hidaka to show at the tournament as well, her victory over Oono to finally be revealed, and be an obstacle that must be faced before our final battle where Oono and Haruo settle their rivalry and their feelings become clear. The obvious way to do it would be for Oono to have to take Hidaka down on her way to Haruo, but perhaps more interesting might be if Haruo's the one who has to face her on the way instead...
