Episode 15 - Waves Approach the End of Wandering - This is perfect! She couldn't have been any more perfect!

A lot of new stuff happened in this episode, it was fairly interesting despite there not being any action scenes.

<spoiler /><spoiler>
This new pink-haired girl, Hikayu Hoshikawa, is from a dating sim game. She cries out of embarrassment from knowing that her personal life is detailed in a video game, and Kanoya's creator keeps making it worse by talking about the lewd stuff she does in the game.

Meteora and the others start talking about how they need to seek out these new characters that have been detected recently, including several that have most likely joined Altair's side, since it would help to know who they are so they can add them to their festival creation plan.

Then suddenly Kikuchihara finds out that Alicetaria's creator has been released from his kidnapping unharmed. It cuts to a scene showing Alicetaria's creator reading Code Babylon, the gritty sci-fi manga that Blitz Talker is from. It has some crazy plot where Blitz's daughter is merged into some machine and is barely kept alive, and the partner character wants to kill her to stop something bad from happening, but Blitz steps up and says he'll kill her instead.

And then it cuts to Blitz being approached by one of the new characters, Sho Hakua, a blond guy in a red outfit weilding some chained staff weapon. Yuya's friend/rival from Exclusive Underground. He finds out that Yuya hates Blitz, and that makes him consider Blitz as his ally. Sho has an undead partner just like Yuya used to have.

This is my Astra Double, Bayard.

He doesn't really care about any of this world of the gods stuff, and just wants to beat up Yuya to get revenge for the friends/family members he killed.

Meanwhile, Magane is chilling in some fancy apartment, and is really happy about how much more fun this world is than her own.

In a world like this, filled with nice guys and fools, I feel like I can accomplish anything.

Alicetaria suddenly shows up at Magane's apartment to ask her a favor... She knows about Magane's ability to manipulate reality with words, and says she knows someone with powers similar to that, and says that person is a monster... She doesn't directly ask Magane to do anything, but instead asks:

In order to make things more fun, what would you do?

She knows that Magane never does what other people want her to do, so instead she tries to subtly suggest to her that helping her out would be "fun".
I wonder if the person that Alicetaria is referring to is Meteora? Maybe she's convinced that all of Meteora's negotiating skills that got the entire government on her side is a power of deceit that she has similar to Magane.

Speaking of which, Megane has just learned a new magic ability that allows them to see a visualization of the audience's acceptance of the story creations they are publishing. This allows the creators to modify their stories accordingly if they aren't being accepted into their fans' headcanon... you know what, maybe Alicetaria is right to compare Meteora's powers to Magane's actually.

Or maybe she's talking about Altair... Alicetaria's creator came to join the others in their big "stop Altair with imagination" plan, and he says that Alicetaria is probably going to revolt against Altair and that we should buff up her powers... I mean, he would know better than anyone since he created her.

And then another creator showed up... lol I knew right away this guy was the dating sim creator before they even said anything. This guy is a lunatic and just starts trying to molest Hikayu and then Selesia. Kikuchihara finally stops him and tells him the real reason he's here. Meteora says it probably wouldn't be accepted if they gave a normal schoolgirl character like Hikayu superpowers, but Hikayu's creator says that's not a problem at all.

Altair questions Blitz on why he watches over her so often. Blitz says it's because she looks so fragile, like she could disappear at any moment.

You're weak in a way that someone like Alicetaria could never understand. If you don't throw away the fact that you're weak, you won't be able to save yourself or anyone else. But you were created to be someone who's weak, right from the start.

Altair explains that her powers are infinite, and she doesn't even know about all the powers she's gaining. Apparently she can now foresee the huge battle coming up against the buffed up versions of all the creation characters.

So I guess Blitz sees part of his daughter in Altair, I take it... He says he wants to see her again after the final battle, but she says if everything goes well, they won't see each other again.
