In the end she succeeded in running away, and she did so with a trick play that would have worked on almost anyone else. Yes, Yui tried to be merciful, but an unmerciful Yui would be such an unlucky matchup for anyone that I don't think it quite counts in threat analysis. The only credit I'm trying to give is that Chizuka probably manages a very good mix of being able to run from whatever she can't fight. The point being that she will take this fact as validating her overestimation of the good intentions of her friends.She immediately got into a fight she couldn't win, though. I mean, if Yui had been a perfectly ordinary magical girl and had been taken out, she still had two teammates there who were perfectly capable of taking her on. She may be a good fighter but that doesn't help if you're going into a territory filled with hostile magical girls...
Minami doesn't have to be there in person to check them out. As to the point about provoking them, depending on motivation they might be ready to mess with us regardless of what provocation we offer. Especially in light of:Very important. Also important - are they actually hostile, or was this just a really dumb move? I'm kind of leaning towards sending Minami to check things out, simply because we've got no real idea of what's going on. With someone on the border close-by, preferably, so they can bail her out just in case. I don't think the average meguca will be able to see through Minami's stealth, but it doesn't hurt to be cautious. I'm also kind of worried that if Yui actually steps into Nerima, these girls will find some way to spin her as the aggressor.
Very important possibility!Given how Chizuka said they NEED this territory, I suspect they've been driven out of their current territory and are on the run at the moment, scouting for new places to take up residence
Also, they might be opportunistic and scouting for that reason. And with the level of force we've brought to bear thus far, I don't think they'll have been discouraged.
