“Too Late” picks up right where “Human Shock” left off, and I’d say it’s a slight improvement over that already solid episode, if only because the story gets to build up to a pretty funny joke as its capstone, instead of an awkward cliffhanger. The little girl that showed up out of nowhere last week is Rinon, an adorable little ragamuffin who is searching for her missing sister, Toa. We eventually learn that Toa was deep in debt after failing to secure a profitable career as an adventurer, and Rinon has been living on the streets ever since Toa was presumably captured by her debtors. Also, bright red hair aside, Toa is the splitting image of Makoto’s old pal from Earth, Hasegawa (she of the ample bosom and endlessly flowing tears).
We’re not entirely sure what the significance is of Toa being Hasegawa’s doppelganger— maybe she got hit by the Isekai Truck mere…
