Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo - ep20



Although initially we are lead to believe that this episode was going to be about saving Sakurasou, in a way it is but on a deep level it is about Ryounosuke and what made him the way he is. Things start out with they trying to get student signatures to save Sakurasou, however it does turn out so well so far. The reason being is that they need two-thirds of the students to Sign but the third years are not in school currently, that means that they are going to need everyone from first and second year to sign. Which looks doubtful since most of the student don't care because it really doesn't effect them in any way. This lead to Ryounosuke showing up and informing Kanada of why they are tearing down Sakurasou. The School believe that Sakurasou is a poor influence on Mashiro and she is wasting her talent by drawing Manga. That by destroying Sakurasou they will leaded her back down her rightful path. This means that the easy way to remove to problem is if Mashiro leaves, and the fact is that Kanada doesn't want anyone to leave.

This cause Ryounosuke to remind Kanada of the truth, that even if they do save Sakurasou it still wouldn't be the same as it is now. The fact is that Jin and Misaki are graduating. Then there is also the fact that Nanami is leaving so as well, because if she passed then she will be moving in with the Seiyuu agency. On the other hand if she fail then she will be moving back to Osaka. That even if Kanada does succeed in saving Sakurasou, it would still not change the reality that next year the only ones left there will be Mashiro, Sorata, and himself. Ryounosuke feels that he should really look back on what he really should be doing with his time. However although Sorata understand what Ryounosuke is saying, it does change the fact that they still want to save it. Ryounosuke also reminds Sorata that he can't confront the school about their reason, because they information was illegally obtained. There is also they fact that it is doubtful that it would change anything. This solid truth is made all the more real for Sorata when Nanami gets her letter from the agency telling her that she is rejected, and this makes it clear that Nanami really won't be here next year.

The from here there is a bit more focus on Ryounosuke on why he isn't doing anything to help. This is made clear when Rita hears about what is going on there from Mashiro. Then in knowing the trouble that Ryounosuke is facing, she tries to contact him. Although he won't answer, but after awhile she gets a bit of Ryounosuke story on why he is at Sakurasou. That in middle school he tried to make a game with some friends but the end up abandoning him because of his high expectation of them. Then from hearing this Rita can related to what he went through because she went through something similar with Mashiro. Although she believe that it would be a mistake on his part to not protect Sakurasou, because he finally has a place where he belong and people accept him. Then after she has a talk with him, he goes about creating a website to help with the gathering of signatures. Now it seems that everyone's on board to save Sakurasou, however the ending was a bit ominous from Mashiro. It could be that she is planning to sacrifice herself to save Sakurasou in case that don't get enough signatures. There is another direction they could go in, by having Sorata and Mashiro rent an apartment together with Ryounosuke. This would make where even if Sakurasou is destroyed, the school will fail in trying to obtain it's object but it doubtful that they would end the series that way.
