Ep 8. The False... Mori Summer [or Holy Spirit Mother]
In Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! season 2 episode 8, titled "The False... Mori Summer [or Holy Spirit Mother]," the story focuses on a new character named Satone Shichimiya who claims to be the true Mori Summer, much to the confusion of Rikka Takanashi.
Satone, also known as Sophia Ring SP Saturn VII, is the former wielder of the "Wicked Lord Shingan" eye power, which is a similar ability to Rikka's "Tyrant's Eye." She had previously transferred to a different school, but has returned to visit her old friends and to reminisce about their past adventures as chunibyo individuals.
Rikka is excited to reunite with Satone, who she had previously idolized as The Mori Summer, a popular figure in the chunibyo community. However, the rest of the club is wary of Satone and her motives. Satone asks for the club's help in retrieving a book from their old school, which she claims is crucial for her future studies.
As they venture to the school, the group soon discovers that Satone has a hidden agenda. She plans to take over the chunibyo club and claims that Rikka's power, the "Tyrant's Eye," is useless. Satone wants to replace Rikka as the new Mori Summer and become the true leader of the chunibyo community.
This revelation causes a rift between Rikka and Satone, as well as among the rest of the club members. The group is left to decide whether to side with Rikka or Satone in their battle for the title of Mori Summer.
Throughout the episode, viewers are given glimpses into Satone's past, such as her relationship with Yuta Togashi, the main protagonist from season one, and how she obtained her own chunibyo powers. The viewers also witness the deep bond that Rikka and Yuta share and how they both understand each other's chunibyo tendencies.
Overall, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! season 2 episode 8 is an action-packed episode that delves into the darker side of the chunibyo world.
