What happened last time?

Lycoris Recoil Episode 8 gave fans an intriguing and revealing conversation between Chisato and Majima. The terrorist reminded Chisato about the Radio Tower Incident, where both of them met for the first time. Chisato also learned about Majima’s status as an Alan child, while Majima told her to stop trusting the Alan Institute blindly.

The episode also focused on Yoshi’s plan to kidnap Chisato and force her to complete her mission. To achieve this, he sent his assistant, who drugged Chisato and commenced a procedure involving Chisato’s artificial heart.

As stated before, Chisato is undergoing a strange operation involving her heart, intending to force her to fulfill the mission given to her by the Alan Institute. However, fans are still unaware of what this mission involves, so they expect Lycoris Recoil Episode 9 to finally reveal what the said mission is.

While Chisato is suffering at the hands of Yoshi’s assistant, Takina is preparing to save her friend. This could go in two completely different ways, both of which would have significant repercussions for the future of the franchise.

The first involves Takina saving Chisato before the effects of the procedure fully take over her. This would mean that Chisato would not be fully under the Alan Institute’s control, but she would still be affected.

The second option would involve Chisato fully being taken over by the members of the Alan Institute, turning into an enemy for Takina and the rest of Lyco Reco café.

Whatever happens, there is no doubt that Lycoris Recoil Episode 9 will be incredibly exciting. Let’s hope that in the end, Chisato will be able to regain control of her own life with the help of Takina and all her other friends.
