“Excitement! Physicals Day”
What They Say:
The button appeared out of nowhere. There weren’t any signs NOT to push it…so the solution is obvious, right? Is it a trap or the start of something new and exciting? The crews of Re:Zero, Overlord, Konosuba, and The Saga of Tanya the Evil will find out when they go from their world to another and get stuck in…class?! See what adorable chaos they’ll get up to in this collection of shorts!
The Review:
Content: (please note that content portions of a review may contain spoilers)
It’s Physicals day! Ram isn’t particularly excited about it. She’s going to focus on Rem’s growth instead. Visha comments on how they’re exactly alike. Ram acknowledges that it’s true…except for their chest area. Visha apologizes but there’s no need. It’s not like Ram cares about size or anything! The two girls bump into Pandora’s Actor in the hallway. I know Ainz is embarrassed by him but he’s so freaking funny. He wants to talk with Visha about her uniform. It’s so cool! I’m not surprised he’d be a fan of that military uniform. He thinks she’s quite fashionable, just like him! Ainz must be a fan Visha, too! After all, he made Pandora’s Actor! Visha doesn’t know what to do with that information and walks off. Ram smiles devilishly and lets out an evil, “Heh.”
After class, it’s time to get those physicals done! The girls are to go to the nurse’s office while the boys go to the gym. Shalltear and Rem are on the committee and are tasked with helping the nurses. Shalltear wants to use this opportunity to measure all of Ainz’s body! She’s informed that she will not be doing that as she’s measuring the girls because, well, she’s a girl. She complains about it and Darkness admires her boldness. Who’s doing the boys? It turns out to be Naofumi. He’s tasked with this job because he’s the shield hero. If the boys try to peek at the girls, he’ll stop them. Surprisingly, Naofumi doesn’t care if they go or not. He recommends not doing it though because it’ll hurt you mentally. He would know about having a bad reputation! However, Kazuma is already used to it and doesn’t mind at this point. It’s a daily thing for him, haha. He states he’s not going to peek but all the boys egg him on, even Ainz! Ainz wants to see Kazuma’s luck in action. Kazuma can’t refuse and decides to peek on the girls. Only because they asked! It’s not like he wanted to or anything!
At the nurse’s office, Rem has Albedo and Shalltear tied up with her chain. Those two desperately want to go see a naked Ainz! By the way, every time I see naked Ainz I can’t help but laugh. Why isn’t Rem on their side? Doesn’t she want to see Subaru, too? She admits that she does but would rather give him a private physical later. Scandalous! Albedo and Shalltear agree that a private physical sounds wonderful. In the background, Wiz is having trouble measuring Tanya’s height because she’s so short, haha. I love that Wiz is the nurse. Back at the gym, Cocytus wonders why Subaru doesn’t want to peek? It’s not that he doesn’t, it’s just that he doesn’t like sneaking around. Julius admires Subaru’s decision. The Tanya crew is more about having fun than seeing naked girls. Also, Tanya would probably kill them, right? Actually, she doesn’t care about anything that doesn’t violate military code. Shocking truth!
Megumin is taking the vision test and can’t see anything. Well, I’m not surprised. It’d be hard to see anything when you’ve got an eyepatch over your eye! She doesn’t take it off because she doesn’t want to unleash hell upon the nurse’s office by releasing her seal. Never change, Megumin. Tanya calls her out for being a chuuni, haha. But you know what? Megumin thinks she looks pretty darn cool! I agree. And she’s not the only one! What weirdo thinks she looks cool? None other than Ainz, of course! Tanya is shocked by this answer. How does she know this? Earlier in the day, she bumped into Pandora’s Actor. He complimented Megumin for having such a cool-looking eyepatch! His eyes do not deceive him even though he has no eyes. He has good taste even though he can’t taste anything! Pandora’s Actor is great. Anyway, he has the same taste as Ainz so he clearly must also think that Megumin looks cool. It seems like sound logic to me.
Tanya remarks that she has to rethink what she thinks of Ainz now, haha. Albedo heard everything and is fuming in the background. Also in the background, Wiz is having trouble measuring Filo because she’s too short! Elsewhere, Sebas and Wilhelm are having their daily tea while discussing girls. I really want a full episode about Sebas and Wilhelm drinking tea while talking about girls. The physicals are finally finished! Kazuma shows up at the door to the nurse’s office and curses the fact that he was too late. Never change, Kazuma. Back in class, Albedo runs up to Ainz and proclaims that she knows his tastes better than anyone. She’s the perfect girl for him, not Megumin! He’s confused. What’s she got to do with anything? Why is she looking at him!? Megumin tells Ainz that when he looks into her abyss, she’s gazing back at his. I am dying of laughter. The episode ends with another evil Ram, “Heh!” Heh, indeed!
In Summary:
I actually thought this episode would focus on Kazuma trying to peek on the girls but I liked the fact that it wasn’t because he was too late, haha. Fantastic. Naked Ainz always makes me laugh. Megumin is comedy gold. I loved all the hilarious things that were happening in the background. I’m also a fan of Pandora’s Actor and I’m glad he got some time to shine this week. His voice actor, Mamoru Miyano, is just so good at playing over-the-top characters and I love it. This was another fun episode with lots of quality laughs. That’s all I can really ask for!
