What happened last time?

Chisato's past was made more clear in Lycoris Recoil Episode 7 by revealing that Maki, Chisato and Takina’s handler, was the person who asked for Chisato’s artificial heart in the past. This means Chisato has a debt to pay to the Alan Institute, which has to do with her talent for killing. We also learned that Yoshi, a regular at Lyco Reco café and Mika’s past lover, was the one who saved Chisato.

Besides that, we were also witnesses to Majima’s challenge towards the Lycoris agents. The terrorist is apparently also an Alan child, something that the series still has to develop further. Lastly, it was revealed that Robota now has access to the D.A.’s servers.

Now that we know more about Chisato’s past, fans of the series are expecting the show to focus more on the Alan Institute and how it connects with the ongoing events. The preview of Lycoris Recoils Episode 8 teases that this is exactly what will happen, as we see a young Chisato in some scenes.

Fans also want to learn more about Majima’s past and how it relates to Chisato’s. Not only was Majima defeated in the past by Chisato during the radio tower incident, but he is also someone in debt to the Alan Institute.

However, it seems like things might get complicated in Lycoris Recoil Episode 8, considering we can see Takina restraining Chisato during a mission. We will have to wait until the episode comes out to learn exactly how the events of this week’s episode will affect the series moving forward.
