Awesome / Grand Blue

She makes Wimbledon look easy.

• The "Boycon" Beauty Contest: one would think something like a men's-only beauty contest is meant to be Played for Laughs (which it also is), but it's what happens that makes it stand out. After Aina bemoans how she's little more than an afterthought - someone only "meant to be laughed at" - by the rest of the Tinkerbell tennis club, Iori offers to show her she's wrong. Captain Kudou of Tinkerbell, who's participating in the Boycon, will likely win because of his Bishounen looks, but Kouhei, in a rare appearance via wearing a full-suit, is his competition. Rather than compete with Kudou directly, Kouhei walks past him to approach Azusa and gives her an impromptu Love Confession. Not wanting to be one-upped, Kudou does the same; unfortunately, for Kouhei, Azusa chooses Kudou, his victory seemingly sealed...except "Azusa" turns out to be Iori in disguise! He and Kouhei proceed to laugh and call out Kudou for his inability to tell a man and woman apart, implying he'll do anyone. At this point, Iori announces he's "hijacking" the Boycon, declaring he's "beautiful enough" that two men would "confess to him". The spectators are ferociously roused by their stunt, leaving Kudou humiliated and proving to Aina no one is immune to ridicule, not even The Beautiful Elite like Kudou; the Boycon ends with Iori ultimately winning it.
  • Capping this off is the following dialogue used as an Ironic Echo against Kudou, one whom he previously used on Aina.
    "We've had enough fun laughing at you. You can go home now."
• The tennis match itself, especially Ryuujirou and Shinji utterly curbstomping the Tinker Bell tennis club.
  • Chisa on the other hand is surprisingly good in tennis as well, taking on the female Tinker Bell players. Along with a Gratuitous English misheard chant!
    "Chisa! Chisa! Chisa! Nice buddy!"
  • Also Iori too, who is really showing off his tennis skills.
• As a last-ditch effort to ruin Yuu's night with his childhood friend, Kouhei demonstrates his "mixed voice technique" to pose as other girls. The anime goes as far as to switch his voice actor for this moment.
  Iori: You have weird hidden talents.
