Yeah I thought Gaku would have trouble this episode since he lacks experience in dating. Getting a date with someone like Kirika...lucky guy.

Different from the usual episode but Gaku is still the same guy we know. This was probably a once in a life opportunity cause I can't see him earn more dates lol

It really says a lot about how even when putting in solid effort at working independently from him, Gaku can't seem to shake off Haru's influence on everything he's remotely touched.

Well that clears up a question I've had about whether Sakura and Futaba had anything between them. Poor guy lol

gaku really scored with that date wtf its not like he has any experience with that kinda thing lol you gotta give it to him for trying so hard even if its not usually his thing

he cant catch a break from harus shadow no matter how much he tries to do his own thing sigh its like he's stuck in harus world even when he's not around impressive he puts in effort though

poor sakura and futaba didnt stand a chance against gakus luck with kirika lol who knows maybe theyll get their shot next time

It's just my hunch but Kirika might end up with her secretary.

Gaku's imagine spots lol especially the sec-champ one (Haru was the one who misheard it as sex-championship lol)
Haru and Gaku parting ways has allowed Gaku room to grow on his own somewhat.
Even though they've finished developing the AI, Rinrin still stands in sometimes and, without him realising it, she gave him advice on the amusement park date.
Kirihime's assistant was scarier than the haunted house.
In the Ferris wheel, based on his response to the hacking incident, she deemed him worthy of knowing who developed Dragon Musume. Or maybe she would've given it to him, regardless; if Trillion Game cannot compete with Dragon Bank then the whole thing is no longer fun for her, I think.

I kinda hate Gaku and his stupid abababababa BS, wish they would stop putting so much focus on him. He really doesnt work as the main focus for me.

It was obvious that Kirihime owns the amusement park considering that she and Gaku got in for free. I had a feeling that Kirihime was going to get down to business and ask Gaku about the hacking incident at Dragon Bank once they got on the Ferris Wheel. In the end, Kirihime gave Gaku the developer information on Dragon Musume after testing his resolve with a little teasing.

Actually, I think this was her way of her rewarding him for fixing the holes & actually winning the SEC challenge. Glad he got the date, do wish he would have gotten a kiss but Rin is more his type, really. Even if he doesn't know it yet.

@Kai200X To an amusement park? LOL. Jeans, a T-shirt, & a Sweater. Just fine, she wasn't going to come in an evening dress for that, she came in pretty laid back clothes for her.

Dates can't be that fun with an unbearable ogre over your shoulder.

It appears Haru has started to wash over Gaku. Despite being super clumsy and awkward Gaku managed to pull a good lie, with an uncommonly straight face too. I was almost certain he would be trapped like a fly in Kirisime's web, but he didn't. It was the first time he managed to surprise and impress Kirisime..

Well seems like the "date" at the amusement park between Kiri and Gaku worked in the end since Gaku could get the info about the creator's game since they made an arrangement together, Kiri is becoming more and more interesting to be honest

Gaku, not being out for some much-needed fashion shopping, does so in anticipation of his date with Kirihime, but involving Haru in this this early would betray his own senses, and going on his own is the only way to do so...by utilizing the tools he already has, like their online shopping forum Yorinuki. And the unexpected person of help being the pro hostess Hiroto to give him guidance, to think that Haru's words would stick with him, it definitely helps a lot. Even this information gets onto Rinrin's sight to help Gaku via Yorinuki's AI, and it's all the more valuable.

The amusement park date definitely is under Kirihime's control, plus her secretary being in check from the sidelines, this is a stake that Gaku can't afford to mess up. Clearly within the state of a business mind, Gaku is unprepared for what comes his way when Kirihime leads him up the Ferris wheel, as she breaks the hacking news to him, Gaku knowing instantly that his game is up, yet keeps a preferable state of mind and confesses to her outright, which Kirihime is more than willing to share details of Dragon Musume's development.

Compared to Haru, Gaku still has a long way to go...in social relationship.
