What Happened in Episode 21
Episode 21, titled “The Tycoon and the Jewel,” focused on the Akudol Grand Sports Festival and the growing rivalry between Kuromu and Gyari. Team Devimuse performed well in the early events, with Irumi surprising everyone with her hidden athletic talents during a target shooting contest.
The episode took a dramatic turn when Gyari announced that she would marry Kuromu if she won the festival. Kuromu fired back by declaring she would marry Irumi instead, which left the audience in shock. Irumi and the other team members quickly reassured Kuromu that she was not alone in this fight.
The episode ended with the announcement of the final event: a live concert performance. Gyari, as the team in the lead, chose rock music as the format. Kuromu warned her teammates that if they lost, she would honor her promise to Gyari. This set the stage for Episode 22, where the idol performance will determine the winner.
What to Expect in Episode 22
Episode 22 will mainly focus on the performance and choreography of the final concert. The episode is expected to show how Team Devimuse responds to Gyari’s challenge and how Irumi steps up to lead the performance.
The episode may also clarify the earlier marriage proposal situation, which was designed to provoke Gyari rather than indicate a real engagement. The emotional impact of the rivalry between the two idol teams will be a central part of the episode.
The Music Festival arc has been building toward this concert since the beginning of Season 4. The main goal for Iruma and his classmates is to get all 13 members of the Misfit Class to Rank 4, and winning the festival is the only way to achieve this. Episode 22 will be a key step in that journey.
