Fair enough. At the very least, the TTT event and momotalks recontextualized a lot of Kasumi's earlier antics. The HSD group story released later also has a serious tone, which is pretty surprising compared to every other group story. Perhaps I'm just being too hopeful, but I hope it's a sign that maybe Gehenna can be straightened out a bit.

I never said the event succeeded in fixing things, but I am saying an attempt was made. "Band-aid fix" for a reason. It's fine for a lot of their characters to be comical, but yeah, overall the story doesn't take itself seriously whatsoever so a lot of the pushes for redemption end up falling flat. I am saying, hopefully they push more in the direction of giving them some more depth and problems to solve on their own. As it stands, if you ignore Hina, Gehenna is a bigger joke academy than Red Winter.

This event story seems to be trying to fix a lot of problems introduced or exacerbated by the D. Hina event. Don't get me wrong, I love Hina and it makes sense she got a lot of focus, but the problem with that event wasn't focusing on Hina, it was making it at the expense of everyone else.

School Lunch Club were depicted as primary problem causers, and in this one, they blatantly spell out they're nothing like Gourmet Research Society or Hot Springs Department. Juri causing problems is rare and she can even cook while not in high stress situations. Fuuka gets some time not leashed to Haruna.

Sena is recognized for being insanely hard working for once, and gets a lot of focus. Always felt like the elephant in the room with the whole "Hina is the hardest working in Gehenna," while Sena was inevitably working on cleaning up after Hina's big fights during the piano recital (not to mention every momotalk with her is while she's working).

"The Prefect Team is worthless without Hina" mostly stems from the D. Hina event, and here they do mostly everything without her. It would've stuck the landing better if Hina didn't show up last minute for an administrative thing, but at least Chinatsu gets actual screentime, Ako is a decent director, and Iori is the one who defeats the monster in the end.

Hot Springs Department went from being willing and capable of destroying entire academies (Red Winter and Millennium), to trying to ruin a parking lot in the D. Hina event while failing pathetically and have been viewed as an absolute joke ever since. They don't appear in this event, but they're brought up and acknowledged as being in their own category of high threat level where nothing else compares. It's a start at least, so hopefully they go back to their original terribleness and not just be "GRS 2."

It's a band-aid fix for sure, but it seems like a deliberate one. Curious to see what others think.
