Episode 4 of “Bad Girl” unfolds with a surprising focus on the kindergarten setting, evolving its comedic premise into something more substantial than initially presented. The episode delves into Yuu’s interactions with a group of Atori’s young fans, explores Atori’s unexpected artistic endeavors, and subtly advances the developing relationship between Yuu and Suzu.
The Atori Fan Club: Executive Toddlers and MLM Schemes
The episode’s opening segment returns to the kindergarten, where Yuu is explicitly invited back by Maria, Atori’s most fervent young admirer. What initially appears to be a typical club meeting quickly escalates into a hilarious pantomime of a corporate board meeting, with the toddlers adopting the personas of executives. This youthful “executive board” even devises a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) scheme, cleverly dubbed “Atori Pandemic” (Atopan), to spread their adoration for Atori, listing off various “scam products” to promote their idol’s awesomeness.
While the children’s persistent questioning of Yuu’s devotion to Atori felt somewhat forced at times, the segment culminates in a well-executed gag. Yuu’s phone plays an “Atori Verbal Abuse ASMR” clip—Atori’s “I hate you” from an earlier episode—used to cure Yuu’s hiccups. This prompts the children to call Atori directly, leading Atori to confirm that she views Yuu as her pet, a revelation the children are forced to accept. The voice acting for the kindergarteners, featuring a cast of “superstar seiyuus,” was particularly noted for its quality.
Atori’s Artistic Endeavors: The “Abstract” Truth
The second act of Episode 4 centers on Yuu’s discovery of Atori’s “terrible drawings.” In an effort to maintain her idol’s image of perfection, Yuu interprets these seemingly obtuse images as abstract depictions of mythical creatures. However, Atori soon admits that her drawings are merely mundane sketches of her walk to school and her family’s dogs. While this extended joke about Atori’s drawing skills might have felt a bit prolonged, it offered a humorous insight into Atori’s less-than-perfect attributes.
Yuu and Suzu’s Budding Romance
The episode also subtly explores the growing connection between Yuu and Suzu. Rura expresses annoyance at Yuu and Suzu acting like a couple before a movie, suggesting a more overt acknowledgment of their romantic undertones. As the movie progresses, Rura becomes increasingly captivated by Yuu’s “smol bean antics” and exaggerated reactions to the film’s mature content, including a callback to Yuu’s Space Odyssey-inspired reaction to sexual material from previous episodes. This segment continues to develop the evolving dynamics within the main trio.
