What Happened in Episode 8
Episode 8, which aired on August 23, 2026, featured Kusuri Yakuzen‘s grandmother. Kusuri accidentally created a shrinking medicine that made Nagino shrink to the size of a palm. Because her body could not handle the antidote, the group had to wait for the effects to wear off. Meanwhile, Rentarou met Kusuri‘s father to prove his serious intentions about dating 15 women at the same time. The father doubted Rentarou‘s ability to handle such a large relationship.
The episode also included the “teacher episode” where a new teacher with blonde hair entered the classroom. Fans found this part especially funny as the teacher’s introduction brought fresh comedy to the series.
Episode 9 Title and Synopsis
The official title for Episode 9 (Episode 33 overall) is “Swimsuit Serious Hot Spring Hell Tour and Then Heaven” (水着本気温泉地獄めぐりのち天国). The official synopsis reveals a two-part story.
In the first part, the Rentarou Family wins a private opening invitation to a hot spring run by the “Serious Group.” They enjoy a “family bath” while wearing swimsuits. However, things go wrong when the “Serious Body Soap” produces uncontrollable serious foam. The foam’s power sweeps everyone away, separating the group members from each other.
In the second part, Rentarou gets harassed by a group of delinquents on the street. A strong, brave, and proud girl appears to save him. She is the captain of the women’s kendo club, Torotoro Kishika. Her arrival marks the introduction of a new character who will likely become part of the ever-expanding cast.
New Character Introduction
Torotoro Kishika is the captain of the women’s kendo club. She is described as strong, brave, and full of pride. Her appearance in Episode 9 suggests she may become Rentarou‘s next girlfriend. The series has a pattern of introducing new soulmates in almost every episode, and Kishika fits the mold perfectly. Fans of the manga already know her as the 17th girlfriend, a cool older sister-type who secretly loves being babied. Her addition to the anime brings more depth and comedy to the Rentarou Family.
Where to Watch
The 100 Girlfriends Season 3 is available for streaming on Crunchyroll with English subtitles and an English dub. The platform simulcasts new episodes shortly after they air in Japan. Viewers can also watch the series on Amazon Prime Video through the Crunchyroll channel. In Japan, the show airs on TOKYO MX, BS11, and other local networks.
