The Thomas twin sisters appear to have very different personalities, including differing opinions on the very important beach volleyball celebration of ass slapping.
We had proper opening and ending credits for this episode. Nice songs too. We met the Thomas sisters Emily and Claire, but we still need to meet the hoodie wearing girl.
Haruka thought Kanata was being kidnapped by a foreigner, but it was actually Kanata's old friend Claire dragging her to the beach volleyball club room.
Emily and Claire have complementary personalities (Haruka shorthands them to Eclair like the pastry), with the older Claire being outgoing and bold, and the younger Emily being reserved and thoughtful. Both of them obviously look great in swimsuits, never mind Emily's reluctance to wear one at school.
Instead of practice drills for their first volleyball club meeting, Claire and Haruka want to play a match. These two are very similar in temperament.
Emily is the constant target of Claire's butt slaps. This is beach volleyball, you know. Emily should get used to warm cheeks.
There was actual character development and revelation with Kanata still coming to accept how she can't be a power player anymore since she didn't have the growth spurts like the other teenage girls. She's got to go for the points however she can get them, whether through dumps, cut shots, or pokeys. Just win, baby!
Haruka is all fired up to join the volleyball tournament, where we'll obviously see Ayasa and Narumi again. Kanata was demon coach last week, but Claire became Haruka's demon senpai.
Fun! At the same tournament Narumi and Kanata won in 4th grade, she met the Americans Claire, Emily, and their mom Marissa Thomas. Marissa would become their coach after that.
