Welp, this episode took place beyond the training outside the diving pools. I thought it was almost funny to see the guys diving right from a cliff into the ocean.

They even did some mini fireworks at the beach. I think it's a calm before the storm for the final few episodes before the main competition takes place.

Relaxing ep. before ending in 3 eps.?

Nakamura-san's character thinking about his grandfather again after returning, and seeing the two guys visiting him.

He told his sisters it's more funny to ask Sakurai-san's character about the love because he's the only one with no experience (the expression).

The three are like they are friends (very close) when talking about the two's practice in China.

Interesting... there's a tradition to dive into the cliff when growing up. The two are the only two who jumped in besides Nakamura-san's character.

The coach's grandfather admired Nakamura-san's character's grandfather, and did the similar thing as what she did. Experiencing the same thing including the same injury. Swan dive?!

Another guy and Sakura-san's character officially decided for participating Olympics so soon. Not including main guy?

Edit: 25:55 (1 hour delay) next week.

Youichi and Tomoki visited Shibuki's hometown. Youichi got embarrassed as he is the only one who has no relationship experience. I was surprised that Tomoki can casually talk about the fact that his brother stole his girlfriend.

Tomoki was not chosen to be a representative and they are only sending 2? Potential drama incoming.

After Tomoki get dumped, I see the attempt to bring heteromaterial to the homoshow to maintain the equilibrium of gender-neutral by introducing Okitsu's girlfriend and soon-to-be wife but Yoichi destroy Okitsu's manliness by pushing him down to the futon and dominate him. Tomoki quickly turn up the yaoi spicy level by jumping off the cliff after Yoichi did so. And the grandfather's generation flashback is unforgivingly BL, holding hand at the side of the pool? Crying before leaving at train station?

In the preview of next episode Yoichi get contact from advertising company to do some CM (drink product) but he doesn't look pleased and has a fight with his dad. Probably because he's frustrated that Tomoki doesn't get select. Though Okitsu come back to Tokyo.

I listen to full version of 'The Sun is Lonely Too' by Qyoto and it fits perfectly to the nature of Dive!! But I've to admit that it can be in any sports anime OP and doesn't feel too out of place.

Probably my favourite episode so far.

Liked the off-period from training here, the three protagonists did stuff together (diving from the 20 m platform, fireworks, having fun together all around). Yoichi's little side story with the girlfriend and his awkwardness about it was pretty funny.

I liked the swan dive part, it really looks magnificent in the air. I get that they want to protect Okitsu from suffering the same fate like his grandfather.

Yeah I think so... the episode feel relaxed building up to something! I sorta like watching them do layed back stuff as well tho.

I liked a look into Shibukis family... also Yoichi don't worry I'm sure Tomoki will do anything for you!

In the beginning it felt like they skipped an episode or something.

It was nice seeing the three guy hang out and have fun, Yoichi is too innocent in terms of romance. xD
I liked Okitsu's girlfriend, hope she's a recurring character.

The Swan Dive looked great, hope Okitsu can do it as well.

Finding it hard to justify how in the world Okitsu's girl doesn't have more suitors... she's pretty hot. Must be everyone's just afraid of him, and that cliff lol.

A relatively chill episode, what with them just visiting Okitsu's hometown and meeting his family and all that.

I still don't know how this is suppose to end though. I'm willing to bet that Tomo manages to convince others that he can participate in the Olympics somehow and will get his chance in the spotlight, but with just 3 more episodes left, I don't know how it'll go down..

I enjoyed that episode so much. It was different from the previous episodes. This one's definitely my fave so far.

Youichi, Tomo, and Shibuki as a trio? That's so cuuuuute. Hehehe.

Nice to meet Shibuki's girlfriend, he's lucky to have her, or her girlfriend is fortunate to have him. Idk. They're both lucky to have each other even though we didn't have enough time to get to know what kind of relationship they have, but I still find it sweet when Shibuki said his plans to her (marrying her and such).

Holy shit! Youichi never had a girlfriend and he's so frustrated by it. Hahaha! He still haven't found the right one yet. C'mon. Hahaha. Kinda hoping that he'll end up with one of Shibuki sisters. Hehe.

Shibuki's grandfather story, though. That was so sad. I guess diving in the ocean will really cause a back problem? Am I wrong here? His grandfather's Swan Dive is really beautiful, though. :)

Loved this episode so much. <3

Despite being more handsome than Tomoki and Shibuki, Yoichi never had a girlfriend. What a loser, lol. Hurry up and loose your "virginity", pretty boy.

lol Yoichi feels betrayed, gay tackle the normie. Possibly best episode.
Okitsu has a quality future wife, and fun imoutos. Yoichi should take note.
3 diving idiots & the grandpa pair backstory kinda nice.
Tomo rejected!?

We've seen some obvious sensitive weakness of Youichi it is the word "Girlfriend" in which he don't have!
Damn! Shibuki's girlfriend is hot,pretty and gorgeously slim!
Shibuki's gonna perfect the Swan Dive that was originally an original style of his gramps!
4/5.

I find this episode so relaxing ^^ It's cute that Youichi freaks out the moment he hears the word 'girlfriend' X3 I wonder why he never had a girlfriend >_>"

Why does Shibuki's girlfriend remind me of Mila from Yuri on Ice? o_o Am I the only one who sees some similarities?

Agreed. This episode gave the series the shot of character development that it needed. Hoping it continues to build from here. The sisters were really cute in how they were fawning over Youichi.

Best episode so far. The animation is as always great, we got some nice relaxation, which I think, we definitely needed. Showing Okitsu's girlfriend was pretty cool too.
