So painful….feels so good!

Summary:

Zastin is alerted in space about a ship that is headed towards Earth. He already suspects that the pilot is after Lala, but he puts his hopes on Rito to take care of the situation. When the alien invader lands on earth, he quickly searches for a bathroom. After taking care of his business, he quickly begins to search for Lala at the school he has landed at. When the invader sees Lala inside a classroom, he quickly realizes that Rito is her fiance. After watching for a bit longer, he realizes that Rito is more interested in Haruna than Lala. The invader meets the school’s principal afterwards, taking the chance to transform and replace him. Disguised as the principal, the invader demands for Haruna to come with him during the lunch break. He has Saruyama tell Rito about this in the meantime, but when Rito hears about this on the school rooptop, he has Saruyama stay with Lala while he goes to meet Haruna.

Rito finds that the principal is holding Haruna hostage when he finds the two, but the alien quickly reveals himself. Further more, he reveals his plans on marrying Lala in order to obtain power. Lala notices how long Rito is taking in the meantime, so Peke makes her realize that he is probably not in the bathroom as he claimed to be. Although Lala trusts Rito’s words, she has one of her dog devices search for his scent. The alien further threatens Rito by pulling apart at Haruna’s clothes in the gym locker, but Lala appears just in time. She reveals that the alien’s name is Giburi, someone that she has refused numerous times in the past. Giburi then transforms into a much larger form, threatening Lala and Rito by taking hold of Haruna again. Rito declares that he will defeat Giburi, and when he prepares to lay a punch on him, he realizes that Giburi is actually quite afraid of him. Giburi reverts to his true form after one of Rito’s screams, revealing that he is actually quite small.

Lala and Peke explain Giburi’s ability to Rito afterwards, and the group finds that the principal has also been trapped in the room. Giburi’s wife then appears, along with her son. She then reveals how Giburi has traveled throughout space to obtain different wives and children, as many of the said aliens appear. Using another one of her devices, Lala has all of the aliens transported back into space. Rito finds that Haruna is okay afterwards, but he has Lala take care of her out of embarrassment. While Zastin is enjoying a bath in his ship later, the aliens that Lala has transported appear to disrupt him. When Haruna wakes up in the school infirmary, she finds Lala by her side. However, Lala reveals that it was actually Rito who saved her. In the meantime, the school principal and Saruyama both enjoy themselves in strange ways.

Impression:

Masochism!? I guess this episode has some things in common with me….you know, since I’m watching this show. Er…but really, tentacle rape? What’s with the love comedy/fanservice shows this season? They’re so dirty! There were some funny parts in this episode though, as long as you could get past how disturbing some of them were. Lala’s chasing after Rito to perform an “autopsy” was pretty funny, and it almost made me want to throw out yet another School Days joke. Giburi reminded me of Cell from DBZ when he transformed too, not to mention how stereotypical and dumb his copying technique was. I also didn’t notice until this episode that Zastin had a tail as well. That weirds me out even more than Lala’s tail does. Even more characters are showing up next week, staying true to the cookie cutter format that most lovcoms have. …How about that Haruna fanservice?
