Umi Monogatari Episode 4

"World Domination Pose"

Sparkling Sea-Men are the new Bishies

Summary:

With a storm taking place above the sea - while down below, Warin goes through a sunken ship in search for a weapon, claiming that she wants to save Marin and Urin while her friend Sam tells her that they are probably fine. Warin ignores him then questions Sam if he had felt that strange aura after Urin and Marin went to the surface and that she feels something bad is about to happen.

The next day, the elder turtle gives Kanon a map to a treasure that will purify her. Marin tags along while Urin is held back by Matsumoto and is told that she'd be a burden to the two of them if she goes as well.
Mean while, Marin and Kanon tries to find a passage way, when Marin suddenly starts talking about a starfish and a cucumber, when then she finds a hidden passage and falls. Kanon follows only to slip and cause the two of them to tumble down the tunnel and into an open area where then they hear a sound. Kanon tells Marin to wait behind her while she checks to see what it is - as it turns out to be a beautiful cave and a large shipwreck in front of them. While Kanon goes on how the turtle may be right about the treasure, she thinks about how she wouldn't have to hunt poisonous snakes or be a fortune teller - she is snapped out of her fantasy when Marin calls out to her to eat their lunch on the ship.
The two of them eat lunch, but then hears the sound again. When then a shadowy figure appears to attack them, only to stop - as Marin realizes that it was Warin as Warin realizes that was Marin.
While Warin gets all defensive and tries to get Marin back "saving her" from Kanon who repeatedly tries to explain to her that Marin followed her along - neither commenting on the fact that Marin claimed her as a friend. Before you know it, the two ladies start argueing while Marin tells them not to fight. Sam comes in to tell Warin to stop and had mentioned that Kanon is a cute girl who doesn't look evil. Kanon however is completely turned off and kicks him and starts releasing evil aura as she rants about how she hates it when guys do that.

Suddenly, thanks to her evil energy - she "revives" the pirate captain that is a woman who declares that she will represent Kanon's evil aura to Sedna and swings her sword after her, who then revives the skeletons to attack. Quickly, Marin transforms while Kanon starts chanting, "transforms" yet she can't. Urin and Matsumoto appears, and Marin quickly tells Urin to escape when then she's attacked then saved by Warin who tells Kanon to stop acting like an airhead and battle - though not realizing that Kanon had just finally got the magic stone to react, only to die out again when she started raging out.
Suddenly water come crashing into the cave, sweeping everyone off the ship except for Kanon and into the water below. Once more the skeletons go after Kanon, leaving Marin having to stop them. It didn't take long when Marin gets caught by two skeletons who tries to choke her. Luckily, Warin stabs them both in the head and frees Marin.
Kanon who is watching the scene from the surface, can't help but smile as she realizes that Warin really cares for Marin, which helps her transform and create a massage blow, wiping out all the skeletons including the captain.

When everyone escapes safely - Kanon quickly breaks into the surface for air and looks down into the water where she sees Marin smiling at her.

Impression:

> > Summary sounds kind of rushed, I'm sorry about that.
Fu fu fu, well I just started shipping Kanon x Sam (Why not? XD) I absolutely laughed at how he flirted around Kanon. That was probably my favorite part of the episode (lmao).
The episode was cute - and funny (as usual). It seems that Warin doesn't trust Sky Beings, which makes me wonder if something bad happened that she witnessed or was a part of that was related to Sky Beings, but then again - that might be just me thinking too much. ^_T*

Sam on the other hand - is a complete flirt: and I seriously hope we will get to see more of him *coughbecauseIwanttoseearelationshipgrowbetweenhimandkanoncough* since he's funny to watch, but then again he isn't a main character - so we probably won't get that much.

Urin: I'm going to mention on thing about this child.
With the way things are going, how she is being left out - ignored or rather not gainning enough attention from Marin, the dark emotion of Jealousy is flaring and that I must say, I find is completely foreshadowing the fact that it will be her, Urin who falls into Sedna's hands and serve her.
Or at least that's my theory ^_^*.

Kanon, I was happy to see that she actually wanted

Warin, she's some kickass warrior with one hell of an aim when it comes to throwing spears. It so appears she likes to targets people's heads and throats. O_o* One hell of a vicious, violet warrior indeed.

There was one more thing I wanted to mention before I finish this entry, was that I loved the symbolism they did here:

It totally represents the difference about the Sky and the Sea Priestess. That was probably my favorite symbolic scene of the episode. (Well it's probably the only one too but I wasn't really looking out for symbolic features...>_>*)

Anyways, I'll be continuing tuning in for this Anime. So far it has been keeping me interested and entertained, so there's no sign of dropping it any time soon. ^_^
