Before we go on, I realized that I made a glaring mistake last episodic for episode 6 – I put 07 instead of 06. For about 5 hours after I made the post it went unnoticed, so if after the first 5 hours, you followed a link to a 404 error, that was because I changed the title and the post permalink to correctly reflect the episode number. Apologies for that. My episodics from now on will probably be late due to me moving back to Granado Espada and doing studies at the same time; further the episodics are difficult to do because of the number of images and because of the summary. Anyways I hope to not do this for next season. -_- On with the episode, where much love was in it for the fanservice.

Summary

Washizu receives an invitation to go to the beach the next day with Ibuki and the rest, and he is of course on cloud nine about it. However Torigaya spots the date and tells Washizu that in fact the beach gathering was today, to which Washizu responds with the most intense shock.
 

At the beach, Ibuki mentions how nice it is to be on an island with no one else around, and Tsubasa thanks Ibuki for inviting her and Angela as well to the beach, to which Ibuki replies that it is fine since the more, the merrier. Tsubasa then mentions how it is her first time going to the beach, and thinks to herself how normal it is to be at a beach with friends. She then goes into her Tsubasa vision, thinking of Washizu, but her dreams are shattered when Ibuki observes he did not come. Angela then asks Tsubasa to begin training where no other types of training were available at the beach.
 

Yoichi shows up at this point, wearing, of all things, a fundoshi (loincloth). Of course, it brings shock and surprise from the others, though Angela looks at his body and thinks to herself it is indeed well-sculpted, and finds herself suddenly attracted to Yoichi.
 

Saginomiya and his sister appears at sea in a boat, and it turns out the island is his private resort. Again, he has plans to do Yoichi in, this time with the Mizunagi brothers, who are invincible at sea.
 

In the changing room, Ayame is complaining how everyone is already showing off their huge boobs, and thus she plans to cheat by putting padding. Kagome is with her, and Ayame then states that Kagome must also understand the pain of having small boobs. However Kagome does not think so, and Ayame thinks it is because of her age, professing that once Kagome has someone she likes, she would understand. Falling at this though, Ayame tries to defend herself by saying she has no one she likes, and in the process the padding snaps the bra wide open. At that moment Yoichi enters to a topless Ayame, and is of course beaten despite his excuse that he had no idea this was the female’s changing room.
 

Back at the beach, Ibuki receives a beach ball from the kid students, and Masashi asks where Kagome is. When told she was still changing, he mentions how she is always so slow. His friend then observes how he only seemed to care about Kagome, and another friend tells Ibuki how Masashi protects Kagome from bullying at school as well, and he is thanked for it by Ibuki.
 

The Mizunagi brothers observe Yoichi as he runs after Ayame with her padding, and mention that it was forbidden for them to go at him with a sneaky attack by Saginomiya, and thus the younger brother Shuomaru calls for a seabird to test out Yoichi. Yoichi responds speedily to each of the bird’s attacks, but because he kept falling on the Ikaruga sisters or pulling down pantsu in the case of Tsubasa, he was beaten up all over while successfully evading the bird’s attacks. Angela also senses the bird’s intentions however, unlike the rest. Shuomaru reassesses Yoichi’s strength after this, but Uzumaru states that once he is in the water, he would be finished.
 

Angela is then seen in the water urging Tsubasa to keep swimming, though all the latter one wants to do is play in the water. Ibuki then hears a cry for help from Yoichi, who is unable to swim. Both Angela and Ayame move together to help him, and a faceoff between the two ensues. When Ayame learns Angela is the same age (sixteen), she realizes she has lost in the area of boobs. Ibuki is the one that helps Yoichi up, but his clinging onto her makes him look right at her boobs, and thus she pushes him underwater again. Chihaya looks from afar, declaring that this must be youth.
 

Kagome appears by the beach and is invited to join in by Masashi, but she takes a step back instead. When Masashi inadvertently blurts out that this is the same as school, Ibuki queries as to what it is all about. It turns out Kagome also skips swimming lessons at school. Masashi then tries to pull Kagome into the water, assuring her that he will teach her, but she pulls away and runs off. Masashi takes responsibility and runs off after her, while Yoichi mentions that she might have a reason for sitting out swimming lessons.
 

Kagome gets lost in the forest, and steps into a trap set by the Mizunagi brothers. But on her fall, Masashi jumps and lands before her, providing a cushion for her. He however gets injured in the process, and is asked to close his eyes. When he opens them, he finds that his injury has cloth over it, and wonders how Kagome has that on her. They then begin searching for a way out, as it was not possible to climb back up. The Mizunagi brothers then state that there is only one way out, and that Yoichi will definitely come for the two.

Washizu is shown at this time running through the street asking Ibuki to wait for him, with Torigaya chasing after him cheering him on.
 

Storm clouds approach the island, and the rest realize that Kagome and Masashi were taking a long time, and decide to search for them. After searching for some time, the rain begins and they are still not found. Ibuki then goes on to say how she had said too much to Kagome, for since young, Kagome had never been good in athletics. Both Ayame and Chihaya also express that they had not played much with Kagome, but Yoichi snaps them out by asking them to welcome her back with smiles, and not depressed faces, for it would trouble Kagome.
 

Just then, Angela and Tsubasa are on a tree branch behind Yoichi, informing him that they have found a cave. While talking, Angela slips and falls straight into Yoichi whose face gets buried in her groin area. Of course, both Ibuki and Ayame instantly hit Yoichi for it. Yoichi then spots the seabird from earlier, which is now headed in the direction of the cave.
 

While in the cave, Kagome blames herself for their current plight, but Masashi stops her from crying and apologizes for his earlier behavior. He then assures her again that he will teach her how to swim so that no one else will make fun of her, but when Kagome tries to tell him it is not that she is worried about, they find an exit. Rushing towards it, it turns out the exit is but a small ledge overlooking the sea, and Masashi, in his rush, runs over the edge, and drops, only to catch an overhanging branch protruding from the cliff face.
 

Yoichi and the rest arrive at this time, and Yoichi, without thinking, jumps right in to save Masashi, only to surface asking for help as he could not swim. The Mizunagi brothers show up at this time, proclaiming their names and style. Angela recognizes their style, but upon hearing that in the past they were very strong, Chihaya remarks that that means currently their style is pointless.
 

The Mizunagi brothers attack Yoichi, and he asks for his wooden sword. Angela throws it to him but it lands some distance from him, and after another attack that sinks both Masashi and Yoichi, Chihaya throws a tube for Yoichi. Kagome decides that it would be her turn to save Masashi after what he had done for her, and jumps right in and pulls Masashi up, throwing the wooden sword to Yoichi. As Kagome and Masashi climb to safety, Yoichi declares he will not let Kagome’s effort go to waste. The Mizunagi brothers then use their ultimate move on him, a sweeping tidal wave.
 

Yoichi takes the attack, which the Mizunagi brothers state that holds a water pressure of at least ten tons, but Yoichi blows it upwards by way of the 4th move of his style, a Tornado. Blowing the Mizunagi brothers upward in the process, Yoichi unleashes his third move, Hayabusa (falcon), and defeats the brothers. He surfaces thereafter looking for the tube again, and is given to it by Kagome who is beside him. The sisters then realize Kagome can actually swim. The younger Saginomiya remarks from afar that it was a waste of money and effort to rent the island out, but Ukyo mentions that it was not all in waste as they had gotten good footage.
 

Back at the beach, Masashi apologizes to Kagome for thinking she is useless, and she thanks him in return for saving her. They move to the changing room where the sisters also praise Kagome, and Yoichi thanks her for her part in saving him. However in trying to get her wet clothes off, Ibuki tears off her clothing and Kagome’s secret is revealed – she too has big boobs! Ibuki then realizes this is the reason for her not joining swimming class while Ayame laments that it was only a while ago when Kagome was the same size as her.
 

That night at the beach Yoichi mentions that it would have been better if Kagome allowed herself to be true, but Ibuki mentioned that she might be shy. Yoichi then wonders why she would be shy about something so grand, and instantly gets beaten by Ibuki for being perverted.
 

Washizu is then shown at the ticketing office refused entry to the pier, and in his state of dejection he again asks Torigaya if he has become smaller. Again, Torigaya replies that that is impossible.
 

Impressions

Boobs, boobs and more boobs! <3
 

Anyway, Kagome’s secret I knew for some time now thanks to Impz, who spoiled it for me several weeks back. Also, finally Angela reappears, and in a two-piece bikini no less. Ah the sexiness. Her being attracted to Yoichi was a letdown, but hey, this is a harem show. :\ That was to be expected.
 

Ayame getting owned all over by boobs was humorous, for a bit. At least, this episode was all about the fanservice, so I never minded any of the shots, though they did show way more of Ibuki’s boobs throughout than any others’. I mean, look at the scene where it began raining. They used Ibuki’s boobs as the backdrop for the first drops of rain, WTF?
 

Torigaya is obviously way smaller than when we first saw him. I want to know what his part in all this is, seriously. Also, fundoshi goodness for the girls for once lol.
 

Next episode seems like there will be more of Tsubasa vision and a misunderstanding, with the main theme centering on Washizu. Good to hear, since those two always appear to be really driving a large part of the humor with their visions.
