Named for Reo's chameleon-like adaptability, the fourth season-two episode advances the Third Selection tryout, while its extra segment has the dorm roommates likening their fellow finalists to a whole menagerie of animals.
Summary
The episode pushes the Third Selection's tryout match onward, with the anchor pairs and their chosen teammates continuing to test the mandate of assertion and coexistence. Its self-contained comedy is delivered through the Additional Time short rather than a standalone recap.
Key Events
Rooming together, Nagi, Yukimiya, and Rin pass the time matching players to animals. Nagi rejects being called a tree sloth and dubs Yukimiya a psychopath tarsier, while the two agree Reo resembles a chameleon and Aryu a stick insect. Isagi's cowlick earns him rhinoceros beetle, Baro becomes a boss gorilla paired with Tokimitsu as a girl gorilla, and Rin is labeled a sludge monster. Taking offense, Rin fires back that they have Isagi wrong and brands him a larva waiting to be eaten by a bird.
