Momentary Lily episode 2 recap

Episode 2, "Italian Canned Mackerel Tomato Hot Pot Soup With Everyone", began with Yuri and company explaining how they got their weapons to Renge. As Ayame states, their weapons or Andvari had their original masters (the Wild Hunts) and chose each of the girls as new masters, thereby condensing down to a useable form. But as shown previously, Renge didn't remember how she got hers.

Moving forward, Renge revealed her smartphone through which the girls deduced that there was life sustaining elsewhere (through a recent upload). They further reveal that the Rats had kept electricity and water flowing, but had destroyed fresh food. Thus came the point of decision, whether or not to approach the city center for a restock, given how dangerous it was due to more powerful Wild Hunts.

The scene then transitioned to Renge and Yuri speaking alone. Before meeting the other girls, Yuri had a close friend with whom she traveled the world. But a major battle separated them, after which she had been searching for her friend. Moreover, this was also why she didn't call anyone her friend, for fear of losing them. This was when Renge assured Yuri they would do their best to find her friend.

Now came another Kappou time - it was a simple hot pot involving canned mackerel, cabbage, and tofu. The episode did a great job briefly but appropriately breathing life into the cooking scene. A day later, the girls were at the city center but to their shock, had to face two different Wild Hunts at two different places at the same time. While Erika faced the second, the others fought the first.

Next, an action-filled battle ensues, which showcases the squad, minus Erika, facing Goliath, one of the Wild Hunts. Attack after attack didn't do much as the girls chipped away. Elsewhere, Erika couldn't fight for long as she was overpowered by another Wild Hunts, leaving her in a 2v1 situation. Her Andvari was soon destroyed and she gave up hope of survival.

Renge and Yuri arrived at the scene, with the rest of the girls following suit, and soon enough, both Wild Hunts were defeated. However, while landing the final blow, Yuri suffered major damage to their midsection due to the Wild Hunts' blast. The girls gathered around her, and as the blonde-haired breathed her last, she thanked them for the last hot pot and the people she met.

What to expect from Momentary Lily episode 3

The events of the previous episode change things for Momentary Lily episode 3. Yuri, being their leader, was an important part of the team. With her gone, it will be interesting to see who takes up the mantle next. While many might opine that Renge or Erika could, the most likely candidate might be Ayame.

Momentary Lily episode 3 should take the story forward but not before a flashback. Thanks to their heartfelt conversation, Renge grew curious about Yuri and wanted to know how the girl group was formed. This will likely be featured in Momentary Lily episode 3, where Yuri recruits each group member.
