If you’ve been riding the Blue Orchestra Season 2 wave, Episode 10 “Identity” hits different—like, the kind of episode that makes you pause mid-snack and go, “Wow, that’s exactly how high school feels sometimes.” Let’s cut to the chase: this episode dives deep into bullying, self-doubt, and what it means to own who you are now, even when your past tries to drag you down. And let’s just say, Hajime Aono is the MVP we all needed this week (shoutout to the fan who called him that—totally agree!).
First off, let’s talk about that forgotten plotline with Kozakura and Akine’s bullying. Yeah, this episode brings it back with a vengeance. The bullies show up out of nowhere, trying to mess with Kozakura by digging up her past mistakes, and honestly? The direction here is chef’s kiss—like when the bully approaches and the background slows down? You can feel the tension through the screen (another fan pointed that out, and they’re so right!). The way the camera lingers on Kozakura’s shaking hands and the bullies’ sneering faces makes your stomach twist—we’ve all been there, right? That moment where you feel small and like your past is catching up.
But then Aono steps in. And it’s not just about throwing punches or yelling (though one fan wished he’d screamed at the bully—fair, but hear me out). His quiet confidence is way more powerful. He stands between Kozakura and the bullies, calm but firm, and says exactly what needs to be said: that her current self doesn’t erase her past, but it’s way more important. That line hit me hard—because how many times have we let our mistakes or the people who hurt us define us? Aono gets that, and he’s not afraid to say it.
Fans were losing it over this scene. One comment said, “Aono proving to her that her current self is no way undermining by her past self, and that was honestly very mature of him.” And yeah—for a high schooler, that’s next-level maturity. He doesn’t just defend Kozakura; he validates her. He tells her that the person she is now—someone who’s trying, who’s part of the orchestra, who cares—is the real her. That’s the kind of friend we all want (and need) in our lives.
Let’s not skip the twisted psychology of the bullies, either. When one of them says they’re “troubled” because Haru left? Fans called that messed up, and it’s true—bullies often try to make their victims feel responsible for their own bad behavior. But Aono doesn’t let that fly. He calls them out on their nonsense, and it’s so satisfying to watch. Another fan noted, “Claiming to be troubled because Haru-chan left goes to show how twisted it can truly get psychologically.” Exactly—this episode doesn’t sugarcoat how ugly bullying can be, but it also shows that standing up for someone (even quietly) can make all the difference.
And let’s talk about Haru. We see her trauma flaring up again this episode—her past struggles with music and self-doubt creep in, and fans are rooting for her to find her footing. One comment said, “It’s time for you to improve too, Haru. Make sure Aono notices you often!” Relatable, right? We all want our friends to see us trying, and Haru’s journey is so human. She’s not perfect, but she’s trying—and that’s what matters.
What I love most about this episode is how it’s not just about music. Yeah, the orchestra’s journey to the national competition is still in the background, but this episode is about the people behind the instruments. It’s about Aono growing from a kid who gave up music after his dad’s scandal to someone who uses his voice to protect others. It’s about Kozakura learning to own her identity, even when her past haunts her. It’s about all of us figuring out who we are, one small step at a time.
The direction in this episode deserves a shoutout too. The slowed-down shots during the bullying scene, the close-ups on the characters’ faces, the way the music fades in and out to emphasize the mood—all of it makes you feel like you’re right there in the room with them. A fan said, “Some of the shots and, in particular, the direction mid-episode there was top-tier!” And they’re not lying—this episode is a masterclass in how to use visuals to tell a story.
Overall, Episode 10 “Identity” is a must-watch. It’s got tension, heart, and some really great moments that make you think. If you’re into stories about finding yourself and standing up for what’s right, this one’s for you. Can’t wait to see how this builds up to the national competition—fingers crossed for more Aono MVP moments and Haru’s glow-up!
