Campione - ep05

Majority of this episode focus on the deepening of Godou and Mariya relationship. In the beginning it seems that Mariya is particularly unaware of her own feelings. This fact changes when Mariya's sister Hikari starts interfering by giving her sister a push in the right direction. Hikari does this by messing with the lunch that Mariya is preparing for herself into something that would be shared between her and Godou. Although she is a bit resistant to the idea in the beginning, however what ever resistance she did have fades when she start fantasizing about marrying Godou.

Although Mariya's by the time she reaches school, her conviction has all but fade away. However it quickly returns when she see Godou interacting with Erika. This growing conflict between the two woman grows, but they still remind subtle about because they never saying the they are fighting over Godou. This duel they settle on having is Erika has to strike out Mariya but if Mariya can hit it she wins. The problem is that she has no athletic abilities, but she can see the future so Mariya knows what Erika is going to do. Ultimately it ends with Godou's suffering because Erika's last ball flies low and ends up hitting him where the sun doesn't shine.

Then when all three of them are having lunch together, Erika makes a point on commenting of Mariya's actions. Erika bluntly point-put that Mariya is trying to seduce Godou, however Mariya is displeased with this accusation. She tries to defend against her point that she is simply trying to give Godou proper guidance. This leads to Godou going with Mariya later that day to buy a cellphone, so that she will be able to contact Godou when ever she needs to. Although it is clear that Mariya is going to call Godou for other things than just to give him “advice”.

Then at the end of the episode we receive a bit of foreshadowing about a new enemie. First off Liliana is back, and it appears that she is still seeking the Gorgoneion. Also Salvatore Doni, contacts Godou telling him about another Campione is in Japan. He advises Godou to fight him so that they can have a rematch. Lastly it appears that Godou doesn't have a choice to fight him or not considering that he has kidnapped Mariya, that a battle between the two is unavoidable at this point. Another interesting point is that it appears that Liliana is serving Dejanstani Voban willingly, it will be interesting to see how Godou saves Mariya from Voban.
