▼ After the broadcast, "Anime Mujica" became the #1 trending topic, and MyGO!!!!!'s former band, "CRYCHIC," also soared on X trends. 
The group initially tried to convince Saki to go back and talk to Wakaba Mutsumi/Mortis, only to be met with Mortis's cruel rejection. Mortis declared Saki unworthy of being human and branded them all as traitors, leaving the others speechless.
Blaming herself for Mutsumi's transformation into a "doll," Saki decided to wait outside Mutsumi's house until she agreed to see her. While Mutsumi longed to see Saki, Mortis believed she was protecting Mutsumi, convinced that Saki would only continue to hurt her and couldn't understand why Saki was so stubborn and wouldn't just give up.
With Saki missing from the band, Nagasaki Soyo and Shiina Taki decided to join Saki in her vigil. Finally, Mortis opened the door to meet the three, agreeing to let them see Mutsumi. Mutsumi tearfully apologized to everyone, admitting she had ruined everything and said terrible things. Ultimately, they all reconciled.
Meanwhile, MyGO!!!!! was still practicing. Takamatsu Tomori presented her newly written lyrics, "A Song to Become Human," echoing Saki's earlier words. After reading them, Chihaya Anon suggested they try performing the song on stage, especially since Rana wasn't present.
Coincidentally, all five members of CRYCHIC were gathered. As they performed the new song, Tomori, Taki, and Soyo all shed tears. It was CRYCHIC's long-awaited reunion performance, a moment filled with raw emotion.
After the song concluded, Taki immediately called for an encore: CRYCHIC's "Haruhikage." As the band's first and last original song, its significance to fans is undeniable!
This episode's broadcast sparked massive discussion among netizens. Many drew comparisons to "BanG Dream! It's MyGO!!!!!" Episode 7, where Soyo famously cried out, "Why play 'Haruhikage'?"—only to now shed tears *because* of "Haruhikage" in this episode.
Fans expressed how incredibly moved they were to hear "Haruhikage" again after roughly half a year, praising the anime staff for their incredibly thoughtful arrangement.
The official announcement followed swiftly: CRYCHIC is confirmed to perform at the originally scheduled MyGO!!!!! × Ave Mujica live shows on April 26th and 27th! Can we really be this blessed?!
Furthermore, "THE FIRST TAKE" channel teased that a CRYCHIC performance video will be uploaded tomorrow (February 14)!
With Episode 7 now aired, "BanG Dream! Ave Mujica" is well into its middle phase. Each episode continues to ignite fervent discussions, proving the anime's unique charm and undeniable talking points.
