History Main / HotSpringsEpisode

* ''Fanfic/OnceMoreWithFeeling'': After fighting [[EldritchAbomination Sandalphon]] in episode 17, the cast spends the rest of the day at a hot springs resort. During that time, Misato apologizes to Asuka for risking her life during the battle and opens up to her about her parent issues.

** The original bathing scenes in ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' had peeping on ''both'' sides: Chester on the male side, and Arche on the female. Chester also gained the title of Muscleman, [[WhiteMagicianGirl Mint]] the title "Boin~chan". ''VideoGame/TalesOfEternia'' had no wall-watching, although Reid did have to smuggle Chat into the men's dressing room to get one of her skills, which leads to a rather unfortunate scene between her and Keele. Also on a separate occasion, Meredy decided to bath near the man's side instead, and HilarityEnsues.

* In ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireIV'' there is a scene that was removed from the international releases of the game, featuring Nina and Ursula visiting a hot spring during the camping scene in the Tidal Flats. They ask Ryu to stand guard, Nina makes a comment along the lines of "Wow, I had no idea you were so big!" he gets curious, and HilarityEnsues.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemFates'' goes a step further by allowing you to construct a hot spring in your personal castle, letting you experience this between each battle with a random group of your units and also gives you free control of the camera. As it's not gender-segregated, there's a chance the avatar might walk in on the opposite gender bathing, upon which HilarityEnsues.

* In the ''VideoGame/{{Atelier}}'' series, it is quite common for there to be a scene of the party relaxing in a hot spring (if such a scene isn't there, chance's are there's a BeachEpisode instead). A few examples:

In milder situations, this is merely equivalent to a [[FuroScene bath scene]] where the episode slows down so the characters can relax and think about the events of the day. Often a trip to an ''onsen'' will lead to characters accidentally seeing each other in the nude. Or ''intentionally'' [[OutdoorBathPeeping seeing each other in the nude]]. [[SuggestiveCollision Or falling onto each other in the nude]]... whatever they want, really, [[NakedPeopleAreFunny as long as someone ends up naked]].

This kind of scenario is so common in anime [[TheWikiRule there is even a wiki]] [[http://animebathscenewiki.com that catalogues them.]]

* Upon reaching the Alba Cavanich inn on the Mor Ardanian Titan in ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles2'', the female party members elect to take a dip in the hot spring there; even [[RobotGirl Poppi.]] When [[BoobsOfSteel Mythra]] enters in Pyra's place, [[CatGirl Nia]] finds herself staring jealously at the former's body (''"...Nice bod you've got there."''). Mythra then notices [[spoiler:Nia's embedded core crystal, betraying her status as a Flesh Eater Blade; Nia dresses modestly to disguise this]], and promises to keep her secret from the others.

* ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'': In "Old Faithful," The ''Pteranodons'' and the ''Lambeosauruses'' visit a field of geysers. There's also a hot spring where Mrs. ''Pteranodon'' and Mrs. ''Lambeosaurus'' relax in. Later on, the kids play in the hot springs and get a good surprise out of Mr. Condcutor.

* ''VideoGame/AtelierAyesha:'' There is a hot spring in the Salt Desert, and after sharing it with Tanya, Ayesha gets an idea about how Tanya can sell more salt. The scene is a still picture with dialogue.

** The original bathing scenes in ''VideoGame/TalesOfPhantasia'' had peeping on ''both'' sides: Chester on the male side, and Arche on the female. Chester also gained the title of Muscleman, [[WhiteMagicianGirl Mint]] the title "[[GagBoobs Boin~chan]]". ''VideoGame/TalesOfEternia'' had no wall-watching, although Reid did have to smuggle Chat into the men's dressing room to get one of her skills, which leads to a rather unfortunate scene between her and Keele. Also on a separate occasion, Meredy decided to bath near the man's side instead, and HilarityEnsues.

** ''VideoGame/TalesOfTheAbyss'' has it in two scenes: one gives you new outfits and another gives Guy the title [[AccidentalPervert Naughty Devil]] due to him [[ThanksForTheMammary groping]] both [[GagBoobs Tear]] and Natalia after being shoved by Luke and Jade for [[ForTheLulz an experiment]].

** They're at it again in ''VideoGame/{{Tales of Vesperia}}''. There are three different scenes. To get the first two, you need to pay 300,000 gald for the first and 600,000 gald for the second. During the first two, Raven keeps trying to peek at the woman's side of the spring, with little success. The third visit is free, During the third, the party winds up working there and at the end, they all get [[AndYourRewardIsClothes costume titles]].

*** Actually, the second time Raven manages to see Judith completely nude, and coerces Karol into being his accomplice. Judith appears to be aware of this, but [[MsFanservice utterly nonchalant]]. In the final scene, after returning with the new costumes, Raven and Rita have a shouting match through the partition.
** And before Vesperia, VideoGame/{{Tales Of The Abyss}} also had it in two scenes: one gives you new outfits and another gives Guy the title [[AccidentalPervert Naughty Devil]] due to him [[ThanksForTheMammary groping]] both [[GagBoobs Tear]] and Natalia after being shoved by Luke and Jade for [[ForTheLulz an experiment]].

* ''VideoGame/LunarTheSilverStar'' features sex-segregated springs, with the male-only one much easier to reach than the female-only one. This is also a bit of a GuideDangIt since you (naturally) need to bring soap. It's only available for a very short time at the very beginning of the game. Long before there is any hint either spring exists.
** The sequel ''VideoGame/LunarEternalBlue'' features baths instead. The clueless Lucia walks into the male bath as well, much to Hiro's surprise - and Ruby's chagrin.
* Part of the Mt. Gagazet sequence in ''[[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 Final Fantasy X-2]]''. (But only as a reward if the player approaches the area in a particular, stealthy way. If they approach the Fem-Goons directly, then the scene is skipped.)
** Later on, as the Gullwings install cameras all over Spira, they get to watch nearly the entire cast of [=NPCs=] show up at the hot springs at various times. Subverted as all the [=NPCs=] keep all their clothes on (most probably due to budgeting). The PC sequence does provide briefer outfits for the three girls, although in Rikku's case it can be argued she ends up wearing ''more'' than she [[{{Stripperiffic}} usually does]].

* ''Fanfic/PokemonCrossingFlyMeToTheMoon'' has a chapter about the boys going to an onsen, but it leads to chaos (one of the men offers alcohol to the protagonists, while two Pokemon get into a fight in the Pokemon end of the springs).

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' ''VideoGame/Persona3'', ''VideoGame/Persona4'' and ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers''. The former involves a StealthBasedMission in the original version and ''FES'' while the ''Portable'' version involves a Choose Your Own Adventure based puzzle instead.

!!Examples:

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' ''VideoGame/Persona3'', ''VideoGame/Persona4'' and ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers''. The former involves a StealthBasedMission in the original version and ''FES'' while the ''Portable'' version involves a Choose Your Own Adventure based scene instead.

* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' ''VideoGame/Persona3'' and ''VideoGame/Persona4''. The former also involves a StealthBasedMission.

* Whatever ''VideoGame/AgarestSenki'' has to offer at first, ''VideoGame/AgarestSenki2'' turns it UpToEleven when [[CaptainErsatz Janus]] goes full-blown LargeHam at peaking at the hot springs. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-jBfjvbFoo Video found here.]]

* Partially averted in ''VideoGame/{{Okami}}'', in which Ameterasu tries to go to a hot spring to relax, but the spring isn't running. You have to go on a mini-quest in which you dig underground to get it flowing again.
