I wanted to comment that now the cat is out of the bag that Shobon is writing the script for this show, but the next episode preview has me second-guessing myself again. You just never know with this show.
But some foreshadowed details seem to be coming together, with the super drugs Otaku hero and the girls got from the old geezer apparently being a trap and Shobon's magical girls being something like evil twins of Anarchy, Blue and Pink.
And they also went really meta again with all the talk about death flags.
It's definitely getting more interesting than the earlier parts, but I found myself kind of annoyed when Otaku Hero was having his freak out rather than getting on the radio and warning them not to take the drug.
I don't recall if he had direct communication with the girls but I believe the tech dude at least had the ability to communicate with both Otaku Hero and them, so they could have been warned.
This show always keeps me wondering if it has some deeper message or if it's just nonsense. I'm starting to believe that it's nonsense, but the nonsense is the message. Like it's a hommage to anime that may have bad writing full of holes and tropes, and is loved despite that. The badness is part of the experience so to speak.
So such plot inconsistencies (like also Blue's and Pink's vials with the drug being intact again despite them already opening it in the previous episode) may just be on purpose.
