Blue Box Episode 7 – Release Date, What to Expect and More

Taiki Inomata has always admired his senior, Chinatsu Kano (from afar), for her dedication to basketball. From their first interaction, where he was hit by a ball, to living together, a lot has changed for the duo.

As the athletes both focus on their skills and aim for the top of the Nationals, there are a few hiccups in the middle. Taiki has to do his best to concentrate on his practice while navigating his growing bond with Chinatsu.

Blue Box’s seventh episode is set to air on November 14, 2024. Following the current pattern, new episodes will be released every Thursday. Going for the whole 25-episode season.

I. Is there a break for Blue Box this week?

There is no break, and episode 7 will be released according to the schedule on the above date.

Recap of Blue Box Episode 6

In Blue Box Episode 6, the scenes start from the cliffhanger of Hina seeing Chinatsu enter Taiki’s house. This raises her suspicions about their relationship and disheartens her as she feels more attracted to Taiki.

Tensions reach new heights as Hina falls into a dilemma. Though she had previously rooted for Taiki and Chinatsu’s connection, Hina feels hurt by their closeness. Her confusion and anxiety begin affecting her performance in rhythmic gymnastics.

This leads her to consider distancing herself from Taiki to allow him and Chinatsu more space. Later she injures her ankle, and Hina confides in Taiki about her pressures as an Olympian’s daughter. Taiki reassures her, lifting her spirits, and Hina wins first place at the prefectural qualifiers.

Chinatsu senses Hina’s feelings for Taiki and realizes she may be an obstacle to Hina’s happiness. However, she resolves to continue living with Taiki until graduation (she is one year senior to Taiki). She convinces herself it is for her basketball training.

Speculations for Episode 7

In episode 7, with the two girls understanding their predicament and only Taiki being clueless, the emotional complexity of this love triangle may increase in scale.

As Hina continues to struggle with managing her growing affection for Taiki, her dilemma could lead to Chinatsu openly discussing with her and supporting her.

This dynamic might put Taiki in a position where he must confront his feelings and understand where he stands for both girls.

Chiantsu might realize that she cannot stop staying with Taiki because of her growing feelings for him and finally realize that along the way, she had unknowingly come to admire Taiki and grew closer to him. All this might lead to inner-thoughts and realization focused style episode.
