The latest episode began with a montage of Iori’s routine at his new part-time job. Things were quite difficult for Iori since Butsujima forced him to perform impossible tasks in the name of training. Furthermore, he was humiliated in front of his friends when they came to support him. However, the episode then shifted its focus to Naomi, who was Butsujima’s colleague in the restaurant.

Iori and Naomi had a passion for diving. This led to Naomi visiting the Grand Blue diving store and meeting some of Iori’s friends. All of them, including Butsujima, went diving, and the entire group had an incredible experience. Furthermore, the seasoned divers appreciated Naomi’s skills. Throughout the episode, it seemed like Naomi developed feelings for Chisa. However, the concluding scene showcased his true intentions. Naomi had developed romantic feelings for Iori, and this revelation shocked viewers.

What to expect in Grand Blue season 2 episode 9?

The upcoming episode could focus on Naomi’s interest in Iori Kitahara. Their interactions would be quite entertaining if Naomi confessed to Iori. Furthermore, seeing Aina’s reaction to these events would be another source of laughter for the viewers. Butsujima is currently interested in Naomi, which means fans will be treated to an active love triangle.
