In fact, at the start I though the second statue will be a haniwa that was broken at the first chapter, so this story is kinda happens in the past (it's still got mentioned through).
Potential spoilers because it still isn't 100% confirmed. Although like with that hair style come onnnn !!
Yuuko !!
It feels like forever since we've all been theorizing about this and i suppose in a sense it isn't 100% confirmed. but it's really cool that we get to see her finally.
The idea of Yuuko going from having a negative ten million worth of karma in Nichijou, to having incredible luck as an adult is really funny.
Bonus: Eru is instantly already extremely cute. her hair is almost like chiyo chan's
