The fifth season-two episode carries the Third Selection toward its conclusion and edges into the U-20 arc, while its bonus vignette follows Niko as he tries to build rapport with his eccentric new defensive partners, Gagamaru and Aryu.
Summary
The episode moves the Third Selection into its later stages and begins the transition into the U-20 arc. As with its neighboring season-two entries, the standalone comedic material is carried by the Additional Time segment rather than a separate recap.
Key Events
The Additional Time short, Natural Communication, follows Niko as he lines up on defense alongside Aryu and Gagamaru and tries to bond with them. Their answers baffle him, from Gagamaru's tales of wrestling wild boars and befriending bears to Aryu's cosmic musings on glam, so Niko switches from logic to flattery and calls them unique. Coaxed into striking a glam pose of his own, he blushes and realizes he may actually be enjoying himself.
