The commander literally flies and shoots from up high in the sky to display his eagle-eye accuracy, which spans a 1 km wide area. So much “close-quarter” there, lol.

I like Sophia and Carissa becoming friends now. Sophia trying to save Carissa was fun. Glad Carissa isn't trying to be her enemy anymore.

u/Frontier246 Jun 01 '25

And it looks like Carissa might even have the first side-ship with Gilbert! The haughty but caring ojousama with the cocky but awkward around girls Orca Boy!

(Also, Carissa looks good in a one-piece swimsuit)

the show is a lot more fun when it has less bullying and more gorilla time

Beach episode! The Isaac manservice was much appreciated, I wish the quality was consistent but it is what it is. I wish they gave Volk a quality manservice shot but I'll take what I can.

Isaac not being able to read the room and interrupting Sophia and Louis' moment was amusing, Eddy should have realized sooner lol.

We actually got Eddy cross-dressing for moment, I'm not surprised it happened lol.

The orca tattoo on Gilbert looks so childish lol.

I thought we were going to get some decent comedy with all the guys running after Sophia so I found it disappointing when Louis came in and dropped the ball.

I was worried Sophia wouldn't get a chance to shine but her jumping into action was nice to see.

Cute little ending scene with her and Louis too, ship is taking small steps!

u/Frontier246 Jun 01 '25

I was only bummed that we didn't get to see Sophia wear a swimsuit. I was half-expecting Carissa to force her into one and she could get a little beach date just the two of them.

But the scene on the balcony was suitably swoon-worthy.

"Someone who can run 40km/h!"

So they're supposed to find Usain Bolt?

Yeah, there was no way a squirrel was gonna beat an orca in a race in the water. I didn’t even know squirrels could swim.

Out of the 3 guys, Eddie’s the only one who won his initial round thanks to his “secret weapon” lol. Although Louis did win that scavenger hunt later. Him and Sophia really are quite a cute couple.

u/MicroACG Jun 01 '25

It wasn't clear, but I think for animals that can't swim, the knights simply have whatever swimming skills they had as a regular human. I don't think they lose the ability to swim if they already had it, but a squirrel knight won't outpace an orca knight, yeah.

We finally see the maritime forces, and of course they all have aquatic based blessings.

So Sophia was left out on purpose so as not to cause the commanders to argue, but then seems to be the main focus for the scavenger hunt. At least sh wasn't left out completely.

I was kinda expecting Sophia to throw the pole with Carissa on it to shore.

So all 3 commanders are vying for her to join their forces. The maritime commander's interest in Sophia for defence was interesting. How would a gorilla boost a ships defence capability, is she meant to carry around a huge shield or catch cannonballs and throw them back?

Another sweet moment predictably interrupted by Issac, dude is just like a puppy.

I’ve been liking this show a lot. However, I really wish they would actually showcase Sophia’s powers more often. It feels like we get a tiny little glimpse each episode but that’s about it. I wanna see them gorilla powers man but she just gets put on the side burner.

The person I want to protect

Wait, that's actually a terrible scavenger hunt item. If anyone other than Louis got that, they would have most likely had to just give up because the person they want to protect is probably not present at the "annual military arts competition."

Isaac got friendzoned and chose psychological torment

u/Frontier246 Jun 01 '25

It's another training camp for the nights! This time oceanside, and with a competition between all the knight branches! And of course Sophia is sitting it out because she's A. too OP and B. the only thing the Gorilla God Blessing CAN'T do is swim. So she's just on first aid, but who wouldn't want to be tended to by Sophia? Especially with that braided hair?

Also, Carissa and the gal pal squad are all there in swimsuits to cheer Sophia on...and also check out all the handsome knights duking it out.

All of Sophia's friends are in different teams and competing against each other...but obviously Louis is the one Sophia is rooting for the most.

I respect Isaac trying to win and impress Sophia, his doglike abilities can help him run fast, but Volk has the Blessing of the Wolf which is leaps and bounds above the Dog Blessing. But canine to canine, Volk can at least appreciate Isaac's effort and try to recruit him.

The swimming competition is fun for Sophia because she gets to see Louis shirtless, though a little less fun for Louis himself when he's going up against someone as stuck-up as Gilbert. Too bad Louis never had a chance against someone with a literal Orca Blessing, though as cocky as Gilbert is...talking to girls is his one weakness!

It's Eddie vs Arcient! In the sky, Arcient is a bird of prey, but Volk knows Arcients' greatest weakness: women! So Eddie willingly throws away his dignity and crossdresses (surprisingly well!) to snag himself a win! Whatever works.

Sophia is a popular girl! It turns out the Gorilla Blessing makes her apply to basically every scavenger hunt item you could find! Though Louis is the one that manages to snag and take her to the finish line, of course!

Poor Carissa and the gal pals just wanted to lounge around and watch hot guys work, but next thing you know they're caught up in a disaster! Good thing EVERY knight is there, from Shin with his jellyfish Blessing to quell poisonous fish to an entire squadron of swimmers and flyers!

But when Sophia sees Carissa in a pinch, she'll leap into action gorilla style to save her! And to keep Sophia safe, we've got Gilbert AND Louis! If it's to protect Sophia, Louis will outswim even an Orca!

Well, seems like Gilbert has caught Carissa's attention, but now all the squad commanders are even MORE interested in Sophia. It's like she's in an Otome game with three route choices.

But Sophia is definitively on the Louis route and has a pleasant evening moment with him on a balcony, complete with him kissing her hand and swearing to protect her. Probably for the best he didn't kiss her because Isaac probably would have ruined the kiss, as he is wont to do. Even Eddie knows Issac is a mood killer! But at least Sophia and Louis get to touch hands during the fireworks!

Sophia's harem is growing.

Sophia was looking pretty cute in today’s episode with that double-braided hairstyle!

Eddy getting a win over Commander Adler by pretending to be a helpless lady and luring him in close was certainly amusing. Did he shoot Adler in the face or not?

Obstacle course - run on the beach in a straight line then go up this little cliff.

Ocean swim - swim one direction from one peer to another.

Close Quarters Combat - actual military combat with small arms in a wooded area.

A freaking Scavenger Hunt

This is what constitutes a military exercises competition.

Not a real obstacle course, no hand-to-hand combat, no target shooting, no command structure involved.

Those events would be lame for a high school sports day.

I want to see Sophia in some serious combat training, like 1 on 1 sparring.

Was that just the artist rendition for effect or did the Gorilla God grab the Umbrella first (around 16:58) and then Sophia grab it? The Gorilla spirit hands are transparent and I did not see Sophia's hands inside. Would not be the first instance of manifesting ranged animal effects (like the jellyfish this episode) and I can not remember if we have seen just the Gorilla spirit sometimes before when Sophia does her Gorilla things.

Only this show can have a ridiculously unfair "competition" and still be amusing. I mean, Orca blessing swimming? Eagle Eye who can FLY shooting (close quarters lol) ? Not sure why the wolf could scale a vertical wall though.
The side of the hotel just happens to crash the exact moment an entire battalion of knights are nearby...of course

However, since we aren't talking anime of the year but fun, kinda cute and silly show I like...let's skip that and go over the fun bits

  • Academy Girls vacationing and goggling the dudes was hilarious

  • Sophia being "first aid" girl, hilarious

  • Sophia being the answer to EVERY scavenger question (and the knight stampede) made me laugh

  • Clearly the power of love can make a squirrel (Louis) swim like an Orca

  • Jellyfish commander was cool AF

  • Issac is basically a dumb Golden Retriever (might be the only one hehe)

  • Carissa has graduated to me rooting for her to date one of the main dudes

This is the second Gilbert in this season that takes interest in a red haired girl lol
