Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 Episode 10 Recap: Lottery, Monkeys, and a Promise
Episode 10, titled “Lottery”, aired on September 7, 2026, and delivered the signature blend of absurd comedy and unexpected romantic development that defines Grand Blue Dreaming.
The episode began with Iori craving chestnut rice, a dish from home. His sister Shiori tried to tempt him with the food, which only intensified his craving. The Peek-a-Boo group, including Chisa, decided to go chestnut picking in the hills. The outing started peacefully, but the calm was shattered when a group of monkeys stole the boys’ clothes while they were relaxing in a hot spring. The men were left with no choice but to handle the situation in their usual shameless manner.
The chaos escalated further with the arrival of an idol named Ikegoshi, who happened to look remarkably like Kohei Imamura. A television crew was filming in the area, and Kohei was repeatedly mistaken for the idol. This led to one of the most ridiculous sequences of the season, involving a chestnut volleyball showdown and Kohei’s enraged reaction upon learning that Ikegoshi was set to marry his favorite voice actress. Kohei pushed himself to his physical limits before passing out, bringing the absurd battle to an end.
The second half of the episode shifted to diving. Iori helped clean up an abandoned net from the water, earning praise for his responsible action. As a reward, his uncle gave him a leftover promotional lottery ticket. Iori checked the ticket and discovered he had won ¥300,000 (roughly $2,000 USD).
Knowing his friends could easily burn through that money on food and alcohol, Iori became paranoid about hiding the ticket. But the episode took a surprisingly sweet turn when he remembered a promise he had made to Chisa back in Season 1: if he ever won the lottery, he would use the money to take her to Okinawa. Rather than keeping the money for himself, Iori approached Chisa and suggested they go on the trip together. The moment left Chisa flustered, setting the stage for Episode 11.
What to Expect from Episode 11: Okinawa Again
Episode 11 is titled “Okinawa Again (Front)”, and the official synopsis confirms that Iori and Chisa will begin their second trip to Okinawa. The two enjoy sightseeing in a rental car, snorkeling, and swimming lessons, and the atmosphere between them grows noticeably romantic.
However, the trip does not go entirely as planned. Aina Yoshiwara, who has feelings for Iori, tries to stop the trip by pleading with Kohei for help. When that plan fails, Aina decides to follow them to Okinawa with Kohei in tow. Meanwhile, Iori and Chisa arrive at their hotel to discover that the room they have been given has only a double bed, a development that promises both comedy and romantic tension.
The episode will also likely address whether the other Peek-a-Boo members discover the trip and attempt to crash it, a recurring theme in the series. With Iori’s ¥300,000 prize practically an open invitation for his friends to find a way to spend it, the scum bros could appear at any moment to turn a romantic vacation into another alcohol-fueled disaster.
