This introduction has gotten quite long, but that's the main reason why we want you to read this article. So, without further ado, let's unveil "The Quintessential Quintuplets ∬: Ranking of the Most Famous Scenes So Far That You Should Know Before Watching Season 2!" ! !
5th Place: Miku: "You'll have to take responsibility."
Futaro begins working as a tutor for the quintuplets, but at first, he struggles to gain the trust of anyone except for the fourth daughter, Yotsuba. While the quintuplets' trust is essential to fulfilling his role as a tutor, each one has their own unique quirks, and Futaro, despite his excellent grades, struggles to gauge other people's feelings, so he quickly finds himself at a dead end.
This is the first time Futaro has proactively earned their trust!
However, when Miku, the youngest sister, was troubled by the fact that she felt the least capable of the quintuplets, she was able to win the trust of Miku, who had previously lacked confidence in herself, by citing Miku's favorite subject, history, as an example. She also explained that she was in no way inferior to the other quintuplets, and that she could certainly do anything they could.
Super impactful!! "You'll have to take responsibility for this," he says as he turns around.
Inspired by Fuutarou's words, Miku has become interested in subjects she's not good at, even aside from Japanese history. After picking up an English book, she turns to Fuutarou and utters the words, "You'll have to take responsibility for this, won't you?" Up until this point, Miku had been cold towards Fuutarou, but after this scene, she began to respond much more gently towards him.
This is one of the most memorable scenes featuring Miku, one of the most popular characters!
It's a common theme in this series for a character who is initially nasty towards Fuutarou to suddenly change their attitude towards him after hearing or doing something about him, but this scene was the first to feature this trope, so it left a strong impression on many viewers. The artwork is also incredibly well done, and perhaps this is one of the reasons why Miku has become one of the most popular characters in the series?
Even a figurine?!
This "Take responsibility, please" line is a memorable scene in the anime. Because Miku's image in this scene is so strong, the Miku figure currently on sale features her turning around, reminiscent of this scene. It seems that many people associate this scene with Miku!
4th Place: Fireworks Together
The highlight of the first half of the anime's first season is undoubtedly the scene where everyone sets off fireworks together. Shortly before this scene, numerous plot twists and plot developments are revealed, including the existence of the quintuplets' mother, each of their innermost feelings toward her, and Ichika's secret that she kept hidden from the other sisters. This development will force viewers, who have been excited by the many cute girls up until now, to take a moment to reflect. Perhaps that's why the scene in which the quintuplets gather together, each with their own emotions, and light fireworks with smiles on their faces is so captivating.
The contrast with the fireworks in the flashback is so well-woven!
The visual depiction, in contrast to the scene in the quintuplets' flashback where they watch the spectacular fireworks that fill the sky with their mother, is depicted with Futaro, Raiha, and the rest of the quintuplets modestly lighting sparklers together. I think this contrast is very well-crafted. This scene, which depicts the days when all quintuplets happily watched fireworks together with their mother without any complaints, and then the days after their mother's death when they enjoyed sparklers with their new partner, Fuutaro, is thought-provoking and adds depth to the story.
3rd Place: Fuutaro and Ichika's Campfire
During the school trip at the end of the first season, various events occur to Fuutaro, as if he were summarizing his past experiences. Perhaps the most memorable scene is the one where Fuutaro and Ichika are alone at the campfire.
Was he reluctant at first?
Before the school trip began, Miku's classmate Maeda, who had a crush on Ichika, asked her to dance with him around the campfire. Miku tried to stop him, but Ichika ended up saying, "Because I'm supposed to dance with Fuutarou." At first, Ichika was reluctant to let Miku dance with Fuutarou at the campfire out of consideration for Miku's feelings for him, but as she spent more time with Fuutarou, she began to realize her feelings for him.
The origin of her sly character?
Until the very end, Ichika struggles over whether she or Miku should dance with Fuutarou. However, when she accidentally finds herself locked in a warehouse alone with Fuutarou, she manages to dance with him under the guise of a campfire just for the two of them (though, in reality, an unexpected incident occurs along the way and she's unable to complete the dance...). Later in the first season, Ichika's love for Fuutarou leads her to act in a way that pushes the other quintuplets down, turning her into a sly character. However, perhaps the origin of her behavior lies in this campfire scene with Fuutarou, which led her to realize her feelings for him.
2nd Place: Yotsuba - "Uso"
Yotsuba is one of the most popular characters in "The Quintessential Quintuplets." Of her many memorable scenes, perhaps the most memorable is when she holds Fuutarou on her lap, confesses her feelings to him, and then denies his words with a "Uso"?
Is "Uso" a lie?
While all the other quintuplets, except for Yotsuba, were initially cold towards Fuutaro, she suddenly asked him why she had been so proactive in helping him from the beginning. She confessed to him that it was because she loved him, but then immediately retracted her previous statement, saying, "No way." Shortly before this scene, Yotsuba was told by Fuutarou that she was bad at lying, and she got revenge in her own way. However, because she struggles to pronounce the word "lie" properly, resulting in "uso," depending on how you interpret it, this scene could be interpreted as her confession to Fuutarou not being a lie at all, and the "uso" she uttered afterwards being a poor lie.
Which is the truth!? Will it be revealed in Season 2?
Which of her words is true? While this is a very intriguing question, the mystery will be revealed by watching the second season to the end. Yotsuba is undoubtedly a very important character in the series, so it's worth paying particular attention to her actions and comments.
No. 1: Everyone Sneaks Into Fuutaro's Hospital Room!!
The most memorable scene in the first season is undoubtedly the final scene, where all five quintuplets sneak into Fuutaro's hospital room, where he's sick with a cold. I apologize for being a bit cliched, but as this was the final scene of the first season, the animation was incredibly well-crafted and memorable. It's a truly memorable scene.
Inversion Scene
Futaro, who has been desperately chasing and encouraging the quintuplets to study, suddenly falls ill and becomes bedridden. The quintuplets then sneak into his room to help him. This clever inversion scene clearly conveys the trust he has earned from the quintuplets throughout the first season.
Ingenious ways to keep viewers glued to the screen until the very end
In addition to these depictions suggesting the girls' trust and affection for Fuutaro, the setting also serves as a reminder that couples who hold hands at the end of a campfire are bound together forever, piqued viewers' curiosity about the character holding Fuutaro's hand at the end of the campfire, keeping them glued to the screen until the very end.
Another Role
In the unexpected twist, all five of them were actually holding Fuutarou's hand. However, this scene hints that the bride is definitely one of them, tying the mystery into the upcoming second season. I think it's a very well-crafted and memorable scene to end the first season!!
