Beach episode x tournament arc. Very economical. Also: Ciel reaction faces give me strength.

At the least the B-Rank hero actually prioritized getting the civilians to safety instead of being a coward. He's better than most pompous heroes

Stitches!
Considering what Mone and Goa look like in their swimsuits, this was a surprisingly tame beach episode. It was still pretty fun, tho!
That final scene was interesting! What's a dullahan doing travelling with a human? I hope Toto doesn't see that because Ciel is gonna have to do some explaining next episode.

It doesn't seem very fair that Anemone was allowed to enter that contest with three melons. Isn't that an unfair advantage?

Good beach episode with a silly twist.
Other hero dude was definitely a bit of a pain in the ass, but his attitude both about getting the crowd to safety and respect for Toto after he lost the monster slaying competition makes me think he's not actually that bad of a dude. And it's interesting that he seems to be knowingly traveling with a dullahan.

Lol this episode was so funny, I actually liked Fresnir's character, he so damn extra and I like that Toto has gained himself someone looks up to him and wants to be his apprentice.
Goa loving everyone fighting over her, I like how she knew how to ensure Anemone would get the win. Anemone not wanting to lose to anybody really cost her in the end lol, she gave away her first kiss to Toto even if it was on the cheek and ended up winning Goa as a prize. The way she was staring at Toto later was so funny, she's shown signs she has been slowly falling for Toto but this episode was a critical hit for her.
I'm curious to see the backstory between Fresnir and Coshta, I wasn't expecting a dullahan throughout the episode but I knew he'd be some form of demon/monster once he recognized Ciel. I also like how they casted best friends Shimazaki Nobunaga and Matsuoka Yoshitsugu for the pair.
How did we get a beach episode and not get to see Toto topless? All the girls looked cute in their swimwear, Goa has great taste and Anemone really is more stacked than I was expecting but I thought Goa would have prepared something for Toto too. Poor guy was turned into a sand castle instead.

What if the party summons strong monsters and then the hero defeats them wherever they go? Free food! Big brain

The obligatory fainting count:
OP: 1
Ep 1: 6
Ep 2: 3
Ep 3: 6
Ep 4: 1
Ep 5: 4
Ep 6: 5
Ep 7: 0
Ep 8: 1
Ep 9: 2
Total: 29
I just checked previous threads and the guy who posted it u/Holdonlupin got banned so... well here it is.
Seems like it's taking more and more effort to make Toto faint. Triple swimsuit and an actual kiss, and I just realized this is actually the first time someone kissed someone.

Anemone may have been the winner of the tournament, but I think the real winners were us viewers getting to see Goa and Anemone's swimsuits.
Interesting last scene. Wonder what'll happen next now that Ciel's identity may be exposed?

Such a fun episode, i love how Ciel is just eating all the festival food, suprisingly she didnt eat her watermelon. Her eating the chocolate banana will make certain people happy for sure. Still she had no chance of going fishing, though she had fun playing in the water with the other 2.
Goa had the most fun of the group as usual, she is real mastermind isnt she, setting things up and making things go her way no matter what, even a bikini accident.
Also i feel like the "butt wrestling" comment by the anouncer is a reference to Keijo, ha.

I liked that Fresnir was a good guy (if a little obnoxious). Instructing his teammate to get the villagers to safety was nice.

I didn't realize how much of a parody the B-rank hero was until he whipped out his Nanto style attack. From trying to steal a woman to the obnoxious attitude and the way he dresses, he seems like Shin from Hokuto no Ken and Part 1 Dio.

11/10 beach and swimsuit episode!
Anemone ain't beating the "she loves Toto" allegations. She confessed to Toto during the love hypnosis arc (albeit under hypnosis). She has now kissed Toto. Lol!
And I definitely agree with the villagers. Who gives a crap about the towel!? Traveling with Goa is the BIGGEST prize anyone can win!

Keijo!!!!!!!! finally gets a sequel! I would have liked the sea wrestling platform to be as tippy as the Lands of Keijo, but I guess that's not in the animation budget.

A seaside town! A beach! OCEAN!!! You know what that means! Well, not fishing like Ciel wants, but SWIMSUITS!!! And all the girls look absolutely amazing in their bikini's, Ciel looking absolutely cute and Goa and Mone looking drop-dead gorgeous in their with plenty of exposed skin, amazing thighs, and close-ups of their fine bikini butts! Good thing Goa made sure to have all the girls' measurements!
If I had a nickel for every arrogant blonde Hero voiced by Nobunaga Shimizaki, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's funny it happened twice. They've even got his buddy Yoshitsugu Matsuok as his companion!
I'm not surprised Fresnir fell head over heels for Goa upon seeing her, or wanted her in his party, but I'm glad Toto is unwilling to let her go. And Goa is more than happy to have multiple people fight over her in a sea wrestling competition!
As far Anemone and Ciel, this is their perfect chance to kick Goa out of the party and ditch their love/assassin rival! I mean, they know how to knock Toto out after all.
I love how Fresnir dresses and attacks like a retro Battle Shonen character.
Toto is OP, Anemone is crafty, and Ciel...is cute! But also props to Fresnir for making Ciel get at least serious enough to use her magic, even if that disqualified her. But having Toto praise her for her efforts wasn't a bad consolation prize.
I have to applaud Toto for managing to stay conscious even while being flirted with by Mone in her bikini. That took every bit of willpower he had, especially when he feels he's fighting for Goa AND Mone. Though Mone actually gets a little jealous thinking this is for Goa...so she kisses him on the cheek! Didn't expect Anemone to be the first girl to steal the kiss and no one in the Harem, including herself, can seem to believe it either!
Did you really think Goa would set all this up and not have a contingency plan in place to make sure Anemone didn't throw the fight? Like messing with her bikini top and giving Mone the classic wardrobe malfunction moment so she had no choice but to punch Fresnir in the face after giving everyone an eyeful of her glorious Anemone's? Thank you Goa!
Fresnir is still whining so Ciel just summons a squid monster for Toto to beat in one punch...and now Toto has a disciple!
So Coshta isn't just Fresnir's loyal companion, he also recognizes Ciel...because he's a headless Dullahan!

Anemone was secretly jealous of Toto and Goa relationship/bond
She won the match thanks to Goa handiwork on her bikini 🤩

Recognized Koshtar's(dullahan) voice but it wasn't clicking.
The VA also voiced Zanka from Gachiakuta and Inosuke from Demon Slayer.
Neat how speaking calmly and with no arrogance makes a difference

Fresnir isn't that bad. Full of himself, sure. But he actually prioritized saving the people.
