EPISODE SUMMARIES
| Episode 3 |
This nice episode introduces one of the greatest characters: Aoyama Motoko. The first three minutes look like one of those very old samurai
movies, with a Kenshin theme. As you've probably guessed, these three minutes show Motoko in her training. Correction: MOST of these
three minutes show Motoko, but in the end we see Haitani, Shirai, and Keitaro (the four-eyed threesome) at the prep school where they
see literally 0% chance of passing on their mock Todai test. The three meet Motoko followed by her fanclub on a bridge. Haitani and Shirai
start flirting with the girls. Result: Motoko beats them up (Keitaro included) with an umbrella and a secret technique. Haitani and Shirai
get the hell out of there, but Keitaro, baka, stays to get another secret technique up his arse.
You'd think he'd leave this mysterious kendo woman alone after having the luck of surviving two secret techs, well no. He sees her at Hinatasou
in a towel taking clothes out of the washing machine (remember, Motoko doesn't know he's the Kanrinrin yet). Naturally, her first impression
of Keitaro is: stalker. I'm not sure I even have to mention he's the victim yet another secret technique.
The next scene takes place at the dinner table, where Motoko explains her outrage: "Having a young man living under the same roof is nonsense!".
This poses a problem because first of all the other girls, except for Naru kind of, don't mind his stay at all, and second of all he's already kanrinrin. When Motoko leaves,
Naru explains Motoko's background: she's an amazing swordsman, she's already a master at fifteen, she used to train in a dojo in the mountains of Kyoto
that was built to fight evil demons eons ago. Nobody really knows whether to believe this story or not, but it still scares the shit out of Keitaro ^_^.
Afraid for his life, Keitaro decides to apologize, so he goes on top of the roof where Motoko's cutting the falling leaves.
He gets hit by two secret techniques.
When Motoko's walking down the street, she fears that the reason for her not feeling well is because
Keitaro is her first love (she actually just has a cold...). She fears this because, as we see in her flashback, her big sister, also a kendo master, left her for a man, a painful memory.
Keitaro discovers a hole connecting his and Naru's rooms (Naru on top). He sticks his head through it and sees Naru, who thinks he's peeping. Motoko thinks he made the hole, and gives him
another secret technique. Motoko doesn't feel satisfied, so she wants revenge on Keitaro for playing with her emotions. She gives him
a sword and they fight for the position of Kanrinrin of Hinatasou. Just for those people who're saying "it couldn't possibly get worse", it does. Keitaro's
head pops up and sees Naru getting dressed. The result is quite clear. After being chased all around the Inn, he gets cornered on top of the roof.
Right when Motoko's about to give Keitaro her finshing move, she faints (she has a cold) and starts rolling down and of the roof. The bold Keitaro dives and catches her.
He saves her life, wins the fight, he's happy for once. But what's this? When Motoko climbs back on the roof, Keitaro falls and almost dies when the gutter, to which he is hanging from, breaks. The girls
later find his memo book, which he lost after the fall, where the see he's not a Todai student. It was too good to last.
