She claims to be seeking other hobbies, reading up on bonsai, tarot and camping, but keeps the forex charts on her monitor and ends the episode back in the market. The community score is 4.5.","whyItMatters":"The episode makes the case that Kurumi's problem is addiction rather than finance, since watching a fellow trader succeed without her is the enabler that pulls her back in.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eKurumi\u0026#39;s return to trading is framed as inevitable rather than impulsive. The episode shows her filling the gap with bonsai, tarot and camping books, then treating those pursuits as motions she can abandon once she has said she tried. A pachinko session costing 5,000 yen does nothing for her, and the episode gives the reason: she dislikes it because she cannot understand it, whereas forex is a system she grasps while it drains her. The charts stay up on her monitor throughout, nominally because she is consulting for Mebuki.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"FX Fighter Kurumi-chan episode 5 argues the show was never about finance. Kurumi watches Mebuki win on her own idea, half-heartedly takes up bonsai and tarot, and ends up back in the market.
