A brief recap of Grand Blue season 2 episode 7

The first half of the episode focused on Iori and Kohei’s class in college. They had an eccentric professor who wished to experiment on potential energy and kinetic energy.

However, he decided to increase the stakes of the experiment, as the apparatus contained a hammer that would swing and strike the person in their crotch. The boys took turns miscalculating on purpose to hurt the person strapped to the apparatus.

Following this, the episode focused on the diving club’s summer camp. The entire group used an abandoned school ground. The seniors of the club created a horror-themed course filled with terrifying objects. At the very end of the course, Azusa cosplayed a possessed woman and scared Kohei and Iori deeply.

At the end, Iori and Chisa had an interesting conversation that motivated the former to get a part-time job. To his horror, Iori found that his higher-up at his job was the same girl he had humiliated by pouring beer on her head.

What to expect in Grand Blue season 2 episode 8?

Grand Blue season 2 episode 8 will most likely focus on Iori’s part-time job. His poor luck cannot be overstated.

While this is unfortunate for Iori, it certainly makes for good entertainment for viewers. Therefore, fans can expect a string of mishaps at his new part-time job, making it difficult for him to earn the required amount to go diving with Chisa.

Stay tuned for more anime and manga news as 2025 progresses.
