Ouch, foreign tourist causing trouble in the maguro market hurts.

Part 3 was a bit scary. I didn't get that part where a guy hides under the tatami.

the guy under tatami, because the electricity bill went up, they want to locate the source, and then they realize that their tatami was rather warm. they suspect that there is a floor heater installed, then marii open the tatami, and the fact is, the tatami feels warm because there is a 'full-of-sweat' guy reside there.

-------------------------

the princess and hikikomori, after seeing that scene i realize that they don't have much differences except the royalty


in the maguro scene, i'm having difficulties when they're talking about naming themself in some kind of kanji, can anyone explain about it?

well, a lot of kanji involved in this episode.

Kanjis that mean fishes possess semantic element often.
For example 鯖(Saba, a mackerel in English) resolves into 魚(fish) and 青(blue).
They adapted this theory for human.
亻(Ninben, the man radical in English) means human and 尻(rump) is characteristic of Marii.
Therefore they thought that 亻尻 standed for Marii.
But such kanji doesn't exist. They created it at will.
Similarly, kigurumi expressed by 亻 and 純(meaning "pure"), or 亻 and 愛(meaning "cute").
Kukuru is expressed by 亻 and 苦(meaning "hard", "bitter", "heavy", "trying", and so on).
Gankyo is expressed 亻 and 8(looking like glasses).
Tetora is expressed 亻 and □(this means "enter an optional word"). Seems like it means that Tetora doesn't have a particular character.
Sorry for my awful Engrish.

ah, so that's the case. i understand the part that there is a kanji that united under multiple kanji(s), but thanks for the explanation of how they naming themselves.

thanks again, this will be a new lesson for me.

But out of so many things why a fat guy full of sweat is lying under the tatami? It's a bit disturbing..

well, i agree to the point that it's disgusting
but as far as i know, fat people produces more heat than normal people because of their extra fat, that's why the tatami is warm.

It was supposed to be disturbing, and the joke was that out of the five of them only Kukuru found it so.

That blonde girl trying to be cute all the time is pretty much the only thing in this series that makes me laugh. But I have to say, that Sumo underneath the tatami floor was HILARIOUS.

Kukuru was also great this episode... loved that last skit.

"You could say that story in a talent show" that line killed me cause it's SO true. Lots of kanji wordplay in this episode which I know nothing about.

"But wasn't there something a little out of the ordinary" Hmm yes it's an ordinary thing to see a sumo wrestler under a tatami mat and to see bloodied handprints and a corpse(?) inside a wall.:)

I was NOT prepared for this

Kukuru really said something expected both scary and overdramatic. The Hina dolls would have made Gojo-Kun proud even if he debuted in anime a decade later. Marii enjoying becoming a boss and being overenthusiastic about fish was something too. So many weird moments in the final bit, including the host club or the false Kigu.
