In the first season, Morika started off as an honor student character, but then showed her dark side and caring side. However, in the second season, she faces a series of hardships as she faces Nanamiya, who knows about her past as a Morisummer, and Tokoromori, who is now a high school student. And will Tokoromori finally realize that she is the real Morisummer?! We will feature Morika, who displays her caring side despite getting caught up in all sorts of troublesome situations!
Morika's Sophomore Debut

In Season 2, Morika appears, having advanced to her second year of high school. Her stylishly dyed hair has now turned jet black! She's also changed her tone to sound more ladylike, making her "high school sophomore debut" rather than her high school debut. Incidentally, when she meets her friends in the morning, she greets them with "Guten Morgen." I've created too many characters and it's gone in a weird direction.
Morika can't quite get over Morisummer

When Rikka confronts Tohka and says, "Everyone, prepare for battle!", everyone strikes a pose, but Moriika instinctively assumes a praying pose. However, in Rikka's fantasy battles, she fights in cheerleader uniforms and with weapons, just like in the first season.

Morinatsu is excited when she finds out that Yuuta and Rikka are living together. She tries to liven things up at school by bringing up the topic. Tokomori and Kumin-senpai seemed to be not very interested in Morika and brushed her off. Incidentally, when Nanamiya first appeared, they were all excited to hear that she had gone home with Yuuta.
Morika's Mysterious Footwork

Morika begins to suspect that Yuuta and Rikka are in a slump. She delivers a powerful chop to Kentucky and the silly Takumi-senpai, then stands up and continues the conversation for a while, hopping around with mysterious footwork.
Morika can't keep quiet about wizards

Unable to keep quiet after watching Rikka and Kumin-senpai's "pretend play," Morika begins talking passionately and in detail about "magic" and "spirits," perhaps reminiscing about her chuunibyou days. Her powerful argument and depth of content were so compelling that not only Rikka and Kumin-senpai, but even her usual rival, Tokomori, took notes.
Morika's Dream is to Become Student Council President

Morika had a dream she wanted to achieve while still in high school: becoming student council president. Uninterested in her own romance, Morika has also begun to lose the trust of her classmates. As a second-year student, Morika runs for student council president, and it's none other than Tokoromori who supports her during the election and becomes her trusted ally.

While eating with the club members, Morika turns pale when she sees Nanamiya jumping on Yuuta. As if to confirm, she mutters, "Sofia...?", and Nanamiya calls Morika "Mori-sama" and embraces her. In fact, the two were fellow chuunibyou sufferers in middle school, and Nanamiya knows Morika's past. Morika quickly disguises herself and begins using the alias Suzuki Catherine.
Morika in Middle School

Her hair was shorter than it is now, reaching her shoulders. She wore a veil, various ornaments on her hands and hair, and would hand out mysterious liquids called potions, making her a rather eccentric character in the series. She was close friends with Nanamiya, and they would hold hands and sing songs together, seemingly spending all year together.
Morinatsu even ate weeds in her junior high school days

Morinatsu, who believed in forest spirits, always picked and ate weeds, calling them "medicinal herbs." He also tries to damage a tree and drink the sap, and spends the whole day trying to talk to a bird... Nanamiya reveals his embarrassing past in front of everyone, and he ends up writhing on the ground.

Unable to bear seeing Nanamiya feeling down about her relationship with Yuuta, Morika visits her in her middle school uniform and jewelry to cheer her up. She offers some advice, but... as expected, her middle school uniform seems a little tight around the waist.
Morika Makes Her Second Semester Debut

After a somewhat botched high school debut, Morika dyes her hair, changes her character, and makes her second-year debut. Then, after summer vacation, she makes another second-semester debut. This time, she wears paper braids and glasses, seemingly inspired by a literary girl... but her greeting is "Buongiorno." She's Italian.
In return for her cooperation, Morika...

Morika, who has been instrumental in supporting Yuuta and Rikka's relationship up until now, commands them to kiss at the very end, saying, "I've been taking care of you for so long, so it won't be a punishment if you show me that much."
Summary of Morika

At the beginning of Season 1, Morika had a cunning image, but by the end, she was a caring, motherly leader. Rikka, Tokomori, and Nanamiya, the three chunibyo-related characters, especially, were helped by Morika's advice, and I don't think the club would have worked as well without her. Be sure to check out Morika's struggles in the anime!
