「Hochsommer ～恋の熱帯低気圧～」 (Koi no Nettai Teikiatsu)
“Midsummer ~Tropical Cyclone of Love~”
I always suspected that Kaede was some crazy zoumotsu animal spreading, Kampfer-inducing, psychotic Moderator, but I never would’ve imagined that she’s this two-faced. With a squad of white Kampfer seemingly doing her bidding, Natsuru really needs to rethink his harem choice. Shizuku’s not shy about showing everyone how to steal a third kiss in an unrequited love, so she still has my pick.
What starts off as an overnight theme park date between Natsuru and Akane quickly becomes a party when Shizuku and Mikoto join in as well. Naturally, Akane’s annoyed about them crashing her date and ends up ignoring Natsuru, but he doesn’t mind one bit when he finds out Kaede’s here. At the water park, Natsuru gawks at Kaede’s swimsuit and ignores everyone else’s, frustrating the hell out of Akane and Mikoto. He later admits that only seeing Kaede’s swimsuit fall off would do something for him, but his confidence is quickly shaken when Shizuku shows everyone how close she is to him. This makes Kaede happy since she’d rather have him go out with Shizuku than the female Natsuru, who shows up shortly after at Shizuku’s request. As his female self, Natsuru’s embarrassed about being practically naked in a girl’s swimsuit, but Kaede and Akane love every angle of it. When Kaede asks Natsuru to teach her how to swim, talk about his male self comes up and she relentlessly calls him a dull and dense individual, leaving him completely dejected and on the verge of tears. He somehow recovers only to become an object for Akane and Kaede to fight over.
Seeing this, Shizuku drags him away and sends him on an errand to buy stuff, during which he gets attacked by three white Kampfer who introduce themselves as Minagawa Hitomi (Minagawa Junko), Nakao Sayaka (Nakao Eri), and Yamakawa Ryouka (Yamakawa Kotomi). They know of his true identity and claim this is payback for Rika, but also reveal that he’s an important individual and that they’re acting in accordance to the Moderator’s wishes. Natsuru recognizes them all from earlier but discussion falls short when Akane and Shizuku arrive as backup — the latter of which used Natsuru as bait to draw the white Kampfer out. Not enjoying Akane and Natsuru’s arguing nor looking forward to fighting the prez, Hitomi blinds everyone and retreats with Sayaka and Ryouka. Shizuku then decides to leave the talk about the white Kampfer for later and suggests they return to Mikoto, whom she left to “watch over” Kaede.
At the hotel later, Akane’s not pleased about Natsuru telling Kaede that his female self would be coming back for the fireworks tonight, but is quick to offer herself to him if he so desires. The Messengers than unexpectedly come out of the bath together and Natsuru is forced to wring them out to dry before heading over to Mikoto and co.’s room to hangout for a bit. There, Natsuru was hoping to talk about the white Kampfer but can’t because Kaede’s around, so Shizuku takes it upon herself to stir things up by presenting him with a drink she kissed, showing off the present she got from him, and talking about how she’s kissed him when he was sleeping on her lap AND during the culture festival. However, just to make sure everyone knows what it’s about, she goes ahead and demonstrates. Afterward, Kaede takes Natsuru outside in a hypnotized state and drags him off to the fireworks alone.
First off, kudos to HalfDemonInuyasha for pointing out that the new girls in this episode are the same ones who received zoumotsu animals from Kaede during the beauty contest in episode five . Rika was also clearly among them, but she didn’t have any lines in that episode. The rest were simply listed as “spectators” in the credits, but their seiyuu names made me curious enough to compare them to the white Kampfers’ last week. Low and behold, each of the seiyuus’ family names matched one of the Kampfers’. I found it a bit peculiar how Ueda Kana plays Ueda Rika, but evidently this is no mere coincidence. I guess this is the casting crew’s idea of a joke or something.
Anyway, I haven’t read the later chapters of the manga nor any of the light novels, so I don’t know whether or not Kaede turning out to be a Moderator is anime original material. They’ve hinted at this possibility several times before, but there was no indication whatsoever that she created Kampfers intentionally. Well now it’s pretty apparent that she has been, which means she’s been aware of Natsuru’s secret all along. I find it kind of hard to believe that Kaede’s been acting like she had no idea all this time, but it did add to the whole shocking revelation here. Like I mentioned above, I never would’ve suspected her to be so evil looking, but this sudden turn of events makes me inclined to believe that this is the anime’s way of reaching some sort of conclusion. (If you know otherwise, please feel free to fill me in.) In any case, they didn’t really explain how Kaede was able to hypnotize Natsuru at the end there, but the preview seems to indicate that Shizuku will become a victim of his entranced state. Kaede on the other hand looks like she’s now the antagonist of the series, which should make all her haters out there happy.
As for Shizuku herself, she continues to impress with her unwavering words and bold actions, which are reminiscent of Senjougahara Hitagi like some people suggested. She’s that sexy, strong, take charge type of girl that doesn’t embarrass easily and (oddly) attracts quite a fan base. The interesting thing is, Shizuku outdoes Hitagi’s way of messing with Koyomi by actually seducing Natsuru every opportunity she gets. I guess that’s why we love her right?

Salute To Shizuku sama for her bold actions
Rei at 4:31 am on November 27th, 2009
Omg Shizuka’s sooooo sexy in that bikini. And I love that casual outfit of hers so much!
Yes! This gives me a more legit reason to actually HATE Kaede.
Nestor at 4:31 am on November 27th, 2009
Holy sh*t…there’s actually quite some more plot advancement than i expected. The tongue also looks nice
Gotta watch this ASAP!

“Shizuku outdoes Hitagi’s way of messing with Koyomi by actually seducing Natsuru every opportunity she gets. I guess that’s why we love her right?”
Hell yes that’s right, on top of all that Sakura doesn’t look that bad with that evil look to her. We’ll see how this continues next episode. I’m curious if Natsuru is in a hypnotic state whilst on top of Shizuku lying down on the floor, if not? I wonder…haha

I see girl on girl in the preview of the next episode.
Meh… always hated kaede, too bitchy and alot like that girl from Guyver Bioboosted Armor.

With the second kiss in front of everyone else, Shizuku has just outdid everyone’s expectation of her as the best girl in this series. I’m all for Natsuru ending up being Shizuku’s slave if it ends that way. (Akane and Mikoto’s pwned expressions at the kiss was damn hell funny)
Maybe Kaede has a sleeper Moderator personality which only awakens once the timing is right, hence her oblivious attitude to the Kampfers earlier on.
The four Messengers deliver their own laughs again as Natsuru literally squeezed them dry in the bathroom after they took a swim, and were then literally hung to dry. XD
PS Noto’s random narrative at the preview about “Sensei will show you her oppai if you win the tournament” was referring to the movie “Oppai Volleyball” which was shown in Japan and certain Asian theatres earlier this year, the story of which is exactly what Noto just said.

That was actually their third kiss, since she got him during his nap last time too.
Akane also spouted Kamina’s line from Gurren Lagann at the beginning. A variation of the whole, “Believe in the me that believes in you” bit.
Kaede at 5:35 am on November 27th, 2009
I only kind of sort of saw this coming. There was a lot of foreshadowing that Kaede was behind this when they mentioned that they got the dolls from Kaede.
Croosboy at 5:50 am on November 27th, 2009
really shock that kaede has that kind of face. looks more like bible black

I say good, it’s about time the damn default male crush chick terned out to be some twisted evil bitch! I’ve become sick and tired of this redone/rehasehd harem setting where the male only has the hots for one girl ignoring the feelings of the others or acting like they don’t even exist. And to top it off the girl he does like is the worst choice out of them all!
Shizuku is by far the best female out of them all, she should get the guy if he can get over his stupid teen crush on Kaede.
Mentar at 6:01 am on November 27th, 2009
An absolutely 100% awesome episode ^_^
Megas at 6:43 am on November 27th, 2009
All I got to say is that ITS OUT’ FUKIN TIME! I don’t care how they do it, I’m just tired of seeing the same old shitty Natsuru each week. BRING IT ON
ewok at 6:44 am on November 27th, 2009
Is it me or Shizuku is making more of you salivating?
Seeker4life at 6:52 am on November 27th, 2009
Two words… FUCK YES!!!!
lol at 7:00 am on November 27th, 2009
Interesting..
Linzermaster at 7:43 am on November 27th, 2009
No surprise that Kaede was behind all of this, but that evil look really unexpected. This raises a lot of questions, and I think we can’t get the answers for every of them in just 3 more episodes.
As always, Shizuku owns everyone with a kiss, and than clearly declares her love for Narsuru “Her one-sided feelings”. Natsuru’s reaction was irritating, but after the date, I wasn’t expecting anything from him.
And one more thing… I can only think two reasons for the hipnotism:
1. - Dark Sakura don’t know that the female and the male Natsuru is one person, and she wants him to become lovers with Shizuku, hence the preview. (but if the white kampfers knew his secret, then Dark Sakura must know it too)
2. - Dark Sakura don’t like Shizuku and that’s why she wants Natsuru to do something to her (or even kill her), hence the preview.
I have a feelig, that they will go with a 3. reason…
Mentar at 7:52 am on November 27th, 2009
We have at least 4 more episodes. 10-13 have been listed already.
Also keep in mind that the White Kämpfer crowding Natsuru were calling him “Natsuru-san… iya, Natsuru-kun”. So, they know of his male form already. And since Kaede is clearly in cahoots with them… draw your own conclusions.
cutemi2 at 7:59 am on November 27th, 2009
i knew that Sakura is the moderator of the White Kampfers, she’s also an Antagonist side
Shinn Agami at 7:59 am on November 27th, 2009
Now that you mention it, the 4 white kampfers made their first appearance on episode 5 at around 13:59-14:06, that was when they first got the stuffed animals.

Ranka is the villain of this series!? FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU–!!!
