The new season is truly upon us: we get a new opening! New challenges await, too, as 961 makes a long-expected move.

I had some pretty bad problems with language in this episode. For example, I failed to understand just what levers Kuroi used against Namco. Not that it matters much, but still... not cool.
Yukiho's book was a mystery to me too. It appears to be a stage play, called "Cosette's Lover" (「コゼットの恋人」). The title feels like it has to be familiar, but I cannot quite remember.
Also! Haruka restarted the new season with many references to ep.1. It was cute.
