Hattori critiques Mashiro and Takagi's storyboard, emphasizing the need for compelling characters, simple yet exciting battles, cute heroines, and a mix of tragedy and humor. Nizuma admits he invented the name on the spot, leading the duo to recognize his genius ability to draw exactly what he envisions. He tells his editor that he views Mashiro and Takagi as rivals due to their passion. Meanwhile, Azuki auditions for the midnight anime Saint Visual Girls' Academy and secures a minor part. Witnessing her progress toward her dream, Mashiro feels impatient and asks her to keep waiting for him. She promises to do so but instructs him to stop sending such emails.
