Recap of Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 Episode 4
Episode 4 marked a major turning point in the season as the main cast finally arrived in Palau. Here is what happened.
Arrival in Palau
Iori, Kohei, and Chisa made their way to Palau Island. True to the series’ comedic style, the boys packed some questionable items in their luggage, leading to the expected laughs. After walking out of the airport, the three characters met Aina.
Aina Steals the Show
Aina pretty much kept on stealing the attention of fans throughout the episode. As all four of them made their way to their destination, viewers saw that Aina had padded her chest to grab Iori’s attention and impress him. This became a running gag and kept on making viewers laugh. Everyone understood the motive behind her actions except Iori.
Family Drama Hints
There were also hints that Chisa and Nanaka’s mother has a strained relationship, which could be because of deeper family issues. This added a more serious layer to the otherwise comedic episode.
Customer Service Training
Rather than choosing to just focus on diving, the group participated in a customer service training. This moment was incredibly funny and featured one of the most standout moments where Iori unexpectedly claimed he was pregnant.
What to Expect from Episode 5
Now that the main cast has made it to their destination, several storylines are set to develop in Episode 5.
Kohei may become Aina’s unexpected confidant. The closing moments of Episode 4 surprised many viewers when Kohei casually acknowledged Aina’s padded chest and appeared to connect the dots about her feelings for Iori. He could become an unlikely supporter rather than simply another source of comedy.
Chisa’s family drama could take center stage. The arrival of Sayaka Kotegawa introduced a noticeably more serious atmosphere than usual. Episode 5 might provide more context on why Chisa seems distant toward her mother and whether working together at Dolphin will help repair their relationship.
The Palau arc is only getting started. Despite everything that happened in Episode 4, the cast had only just arrived in Palau. That means the tropical adventure is just beginning, and there is plenty more chaos, diving, and drinking battles to come.
