Go back to DBZ where you belong, Goku.

Summary:

A planet full of warriors is shocked when they are overtaken by a single alien before them. This person is none other than Gid Lucione Deviluke. At school, Rito experiences his days as usual. After bumping into Haruna, several of the other girls appear to interrupt them. When Lala enters, her device removes all of their clothes. When Rito wakes on a later day, he finds that Zastin is having breakfast in his house yet again. Zastin takes the chance to discuss something with Rito this time, however, warning him about the message he received earlier. This had come from Gid Luclone, Lala’s father. He had planned on visiting Earth to see Lala’s fiance, but instructed Zastin not to tell this to Lala and the others. With this warning in mind, Rito imagines what Gid would be like while walking to school with Lala. Believing that Gid would not take a liking to him, Rito decides that he should just properly explain his feelings to him. This makes him wonder what his feelings really are, however, as Haruna appears to greet him. Rito thinks to himself in class that, although things had changed, Lala’s arrival in his life actually made things quite enjoyable. Lurking from above, a blonde woman puts a grin on her face.

Saki appears in class later with her usual challenges. When Yui stands in to defend Rito and Lala, she is quickly bound in rope by Saki’s followers. This causes the usual trouble, especially when one of Lala’s devices cuts open her clothes in an attempt to help her. Rito uses his body to cover Yui, which she accepts despite her earlier resistance, and Haruna eventually appears to lend a jacket to her. Rito runs into trouble with Run and Yami later as well, resulting in Rito’s usual punishment. Throughout all of these events, the blonde woman continues to watch. Rito helps Haruna with school duties later, thanking her for the help earlier. Rito begins to apologize for all the trouble that has been caused ever since Lala has appeared, but Haruna also believes that there were certain things to be happy about because of this. Rito again tries to get his feelings across to Haruna, but this time, he is interrupted by being called to the school rooftop over intercom.

Rito meets Mikado on the school rooftop, as well as the blonde woman who had been watching him throughout the day. When Mikado leaves, the woman quickly starts getting attached to Rito. She shows him pictures of all the embarrassing situations he had gotten into throughout the day, then trying to seduce him. She faints upon the appearance of Gin, however, who Rito finally realizes is Lala’s father after seeing his tail. Rito begins to explain that he did not purposely do such things to all of the girls during the day, but he is surprised when Gin describes these actions as wrong. Gin then begins to ask what Rito has to offer for Lala, and when Rito cannot answer, Gin quickly threatens him with his power. Rito holds on to Gin when he imagines what would happen to all of his friends if the attack succeeded, and before Gin can finish him off, Lala appears to stop him. Lala disagrees with Gin’s descriptions of Rito, revealing all of his good qualities and calling him her important person. With this, Gin decides to give Rito time. He makes him promise that he would become worthy of Lala. Rito locks himself in his room that night, only recalling Gin’s challenge for him to become number one in the galaxy. Quickly coming to a conclusion and showing himself to Lala and the rest of the family, he states that he will do what he can as a man. With this, he believes he may find some of the answers he is looking for.

Preview: wth?

Impression:

Kamehameha! NO! I won’t let you destroy the Earth!!! You know, it may be the rock bottom expectations I now have for this show, but I thought this episode was a lot better than the last. It seems like the reason would be its following of the plot set up in the manga, since like many of you have been telling me, the anime has taken several detours with filler. It was nice to see many of the girls make appearances too, which again, was something I was complaining about earlier. I also thought Lala’s father was pretty hilarious. There’s really no way to deny that this character was based off of “the strongest being in the universe”. I mean, I’m pretty sure we all know that is Goku. Lala’s love power was pretty sweet too, and Mikan screen time increases my enjoyment by five times no matter what. I have no idea what to expect next week though, and with the new season coming quick, I will definitely have to make the decision whether to stop blogging this show or not somewhat soon.
