## Synopsis

Forming a band and meeting various people, there was a view that Hitori had never seen before. The stick ticks off the count to the first song and the culture festival live performance of the four people of Kessoku Band begins now.

## Plot

Nijika uses a stick for the audience to Kessoku Band begin the first song and Kita claps her hands. Bocchi's father is recording the concert. Seika holds Hiroi when she is drunk. The two students are clapping. She follows her friend to watch the concert. Bocchi makes happy during the concert, a scene shows the rooftop, library, and Bocchi's classroom and where Bocchi hides it. Bocchi's classmates clapped together. And the title card shows it after the first song. Kita introduces the first song called "I Will Never Forget", but the audience cheers Kita.

Bocchi can't believe it and she rolls the tuning pegs. Kita will have a few words from Nijika, Ryo told her that any MCing would be a flop and Kita thought "How dare you!" Kita mistakenly called Hitori's nickname "Bocchi" and would call her full name instead. Kessoku Band moves to the next song, and Kita introduces to the audience, the next song called "To Become a Constellation...".

Kessoku Band begins the next song, but during this time, Bocchi thinks of something not right and she can't get the E string in tune. She broke the E string and the peg is broken, and her solo is coming. She is thinking that she fails it because she had equipment trouble. She looks to Kita when she is ad-libbing on the fly. She picks the bottleneck and used her guitar and after that, she released the bottleneck. Bocchi is almost exhausted and continues to play the guitar.

After the next song, the audience cheers for them. Bocchi sees for the audience is happy for the first time. Nijika is not going to say anything before the last song. Kita asks Bocchi to say something, but Bocchi is still social anxiety. She says to her something funny, but she thinks Hiroi jumps in the previous concert. Bocchi dives into the audience, and Ryo calls her a "legendary rock star". Bocchi's father would help his daughter.

Bocchi finally wakes up at the infirmary. She apologizes her to ruin everything. Nijika, Ryo, and others are cleaning up and said they have an after-party. Kita seems to be pretty good with her and is going to keep playing and would teach with Hitori, instead of Bocchi. Kita sees her for the first time and remembers her position. Nijika guess if Bocchi is okay. Bocchi looked for her classroom and who did the maid café. She recognized them who dived it to the audience during the concert. Thus she will sometimes quit school.

Bocchi forgives her father who broke the guitar, her father explains the guitar that broke the peg. He explains to his daughter that she broke it in the middle of the concert. Bocchi thinks when he sells guitars designed to break. Futari begs her father to play, Bocchi does have a job, and all the money goes to the quotas. She was surprised to give the money from her father. She earned from advertisements on their videos and needs to remember her video site account, guitarhero. Her father monetized them in secret when they have been racking up views and he wonders her to see works so hard. He lies to her when she has a boyfriend in the comments.

Bocchi counts her money, but it is 300,000 yen. For example, if she buys a new guitar for 100,000 yen, then she will have 200,000 yen left. If she puts all to quota costs, she will be quitting her job. At the live house, she usually cleans the floor and gets overwhelming power to talk to Seika. She talks to Seika normally to continue to work hard. When Bocchi hides a trash can, she thinks about quitting her job. Nijika asks Bocchi goes to the music shop. Bocchi asks Nijika to talk to her sister if she wants, but Seika doesn't want to be a present for Bocchi.

After arriving at Ochanomizu Station, Ryo runs and talks to Kita about the music business. Nijika decided to the store, but a great selection. Bocchi thinks plan A is ordering online and plan B, which the owners are scary. Bocchi does a headbanger after entering the store. Nijika looks for a cure strap and Kita looks for all kinds of picks.

Ryo asks the employee to try a bass, but she is buying a new bass. Nijika thinks her what Ryo is doing. An employee surprised by Ryo plays the bass and Ryo gets tired after playing the bass. Kita looks for that guitar, but Bocchi would be interested to look at it. Nijika looked for those guitars when she saw them in the manga all the time. She maybe will buy her own guitar and bass, but Ryo and Kita imagine her becoming ultra-masculine while playing the drum with a guitar stick. Nijika will go to a drum shop next time, but there is one in Akiba. Bocchi tries to communicate with her and she cannot talk to her and will take a lot of. Kita holds Bocchi with a mouth that looks like a puppet. Bocchi likes a new guitar and takes it. She paid for a new guitar and an employee has been doing checks and maintenance on her guitar. She thanked her, ran away, and forgot her guitar.

She gives a guitar from running away and Seika wants her to come again sometime. Ryo is done with that after Bocchi buys it and she tells her to play her guitar as soon as possible. Kita asks if Bocchi would want to rent a studio and try out a new guitar, but Bocchi will not. They will get to practice together tomorrow. Nijika will start thinking about their next concert. Ryo treats Kita to eating gyudon.

At her home, Bocchi looks her new guitar and makes it cool in the mirror. She hasn't forgotten her old guitar and her family watches her. Bocchi going outside for now.

After the credits, Bocchi will have a job another day.

* Just like in the previous episode; in the manga, the Gotoh family did not appear at all during the performances.
* Both song titles are newly introduced songs in the anime and are not mentioned anywhere in the manga.
* The songs also add the performed song total in anime to four, while originally the band only mentioned they only did three original songs some while after the festival.
* One scene being left out when the band visited Ishibashi Music is the interaction between Nijika and the store attendant, which told about how Seika used to work there. This also left out two aliases for both siblings: "Satan of Ochanomizu" for Seika and "Archangel of Shimokitazawa" for Nijika.
* After buying her guitar, Bocchi test it out at day before going to school. This was different in the manga, as she tested it out at night; the same day she bought the guitar.
* Scenes during the end credits are entirely anime originals, as a way to conclude the series.
