Shuji is kind of an interesting cookie because he's more vibes than a person, both Machu and Nyaan get something out of their dynamic with him but Machu seems more interested in getting there with him while Nyaan is more self focused and doesn't even consider really working with him through the whole thing (granted he was delirious the whole time). I'm not sure I'd describe her as a romantic rival (though Machu certainly views if that way) but their dynamic is definitely a car crash in slow motion which is strangely more fun to me than if there was a clear good Vs bad answer between the 3 of them.

I actually wonder if both girls are gonna be disappointed when they see what Shuji is actually working towards. Or if they've considered how to achieve that "freedom" without his assistance.

If the ED is any indication they will definitely need to cooperate.
But then it could also be a red herring

I honestly didn't take the ED too seriously since it's a dance party type thing and those are more focused on being fun than anything else.

Thats fair, I do hope they hide some meaning in it
Like they seem to exist parallel in the same room/space but only come together for the party

The ending will become a bigger and bigger tonal shift as things get more crazy.

Like the calm and happy music at Zeta’s ending.

Ya everybody thought last episode was the WELCOME TO GUNDAM moment but I think it's still coming.
