The hilarity continues in this episode as Harima valiantly defends Tenma's academic honor, Tenma discovers the perils of the public toilet, and Harima and Tenma both get perverted thoughts in their heads.
I fell in love with this series from the previous episode--but this episode turned it into my personal crack. This is, without a doubt, the absolute most hilarious episode of anything, EVER.
RATING: 10/10
Before I begin the fun...a note about this episode.
As you may have noticed, I tend to avoid using screencaps in which subtitles or text captions are visible. I occasionally go to rather extreme lengths to achieve this. (Not as extreme as downloading a raw version of stuff I already have fansubbed, but extreme enough.) This isn't because I have a thing against subtitles or fansubbers--far from it. It's simply a stylistic choice on my part.
For this episode only, I will break with that. The reason shall become rather obvious rather quickly as you progress through the screencaps. My apologies to Dash Fansubs for exploiting their hard work in this manner.
That having been said...


Oh yeah. You are definitely one BAD dude.

Like we haven't seen THIS routine before.

THIS guy again?! Geez!

Another HarimaCam-filtered vision of Tenma.

He STILL hasn't showered.

English is not Harima's best subject. Then again, nothing is.

Okay, how the fuck is this a simple English test?

Harima notices that Tenma has forgotten one little detail on her test paper...and all hell breaks loose.

Harima decides he's going to try to get Tenma to write her name on her paper to save her from getting a zero score. This is his first attempt. Click the above image to view a short movie (<2MB, xvid).

Well, THAT didn't work. So Harima commences plan B...

...attempting a subtle verbal hint after disrupting the class with a primal scream.

"Silly Harima-kun."

Harima becomes more frustrated as, predictably, Tenma Does Not Get It.

Plan C is a bit less subtle and a lot more sneaky.

Which, of course, can only mean one thing...

...it was doomed to fail.

Ah well, at least it helped someone.

He's beginning to cook up plan D...duck and cover!

That's about as direct and to the point as it gets, folks.

Unsurprisingly, Tenma COMPLETELY missed the point.

You know things are bad when Tenma's stupidity has managed to penetrate even Harima's rose-tinted vision.

Go home and bathe, for starters.

Constipation'll do that to you.


Now how's THAT for devotion?

Dude. She ain't gonna be THAT grateful.

Harima's burning determination!

Yes, friends, he ACTUALLY DID IT.

...and it didn't make a damn bit of difference in the end.

A routine trip to the washroom turns into a sudden nightmare for Tenma.

"And me without my cigarettes..."

Nope, he's still out there.

I was kinda wondering that myself...


Okay, I just have to say this:

Tenma begins formulating her escape...but first, she must transform into her secret alter ego: TOILET NINJA!

"Oh no! Toilet Ninja! I did not expect to meet you here!"

"Oho! You have seen Toilet Ninja! And now you must die.

"I will never let you have the Toilet Ninja Roll--err, Scroll."

"This is very unfortunate!"

"Oh...wait...it's just Tenma."

"Toilet Ninja does not understand how her disguise failed."

"Therefore, Toilet Ninja will transform once again...into CUSTODIAL CENTURION!"

"CUSTODIAL CENTURION...CHAAAAAAAARGE!"



Custodial Centurion prepares to punish the insouciant loiterer who dares
intrude upon the sanctity of the girls' toilet entrance!

...and, predictably, hits an innocent passerby. Naturally, for best results, it would have to be Harima.

"...whuh-oh."

I can't say as I blame him. I mean seriously, what the hell?

Tenma MacGyver surveys her cache of supplies, formulating her next desperate escape strategy.

Note to self: Do NOT touch that wall.

I've seen toilets as badly clogged as that wall. It's not a pretty sight.

"YES! Toilet Ninja is reborn! Now, Toilet Ninja will scale the fortress wall to VICTORY!"

Despite a thirty meter sheer vertical climb and a strong buffeting wind,
Toilet Ninja remains steadfast, affixed firmly to the wall by her trusty plungers.

Am I the only one freaked out about her making it down the wall like that without falling?

If you DIDN'T see this coming, you're not trying hard enough.

"Toilet Ninja...no longer feels so victorious..."

;_;

Yes please! :D

A girl's worst enemy.

"Did it just...cry?"

"NOT FUNNY, YAKUMO!"

The moment of truth...

Insert earsplitting scream here.

"Come on, oneesan...we need to get you back in the water..."

"Sorry, Tenma. I'm afraid it's wild pig season."

"Can someone please GET THIS FREAKING ARROW OUT OF ME?!"

"Oh, nevermind. I'll just die quietly."

Typical hormonal teenage male behavior.

"And he had a book, and he was standing outside the toilet for an hour..."

That's right, Tenma. Embrace your Inner Yukari.

"Hmm...yes...I see...it all makes sense now! A woodchuck CAN'T chuck wood!"

The other girls never realised Tenma's secret ambition was to be a pop idol.


You know, that'd work a lot better if she didn't...ah, nevermind.

...you don't suppose...nah, couldn't be.

...then again, maybe it could. It's true what they say; great minds think alike. And so do empty ones.
