This is the episode where Rito and Haruna finally get it on.... NOT.
Part 1 Summary:
The holiday season has arrived and Mikan is busy at home preparing for a Christmas party. Meanwhile, Rito is wandering around on the streets looking for someone, and by accident he runs into Haruna. Rito explains that he is looking for Yami to invite her to a Christmas party, since Yami showing up would make Mikan very happy. Rito then asks Haruna if she wants to come but Haruna is celebrating Christmas with her family. After Rito departs, Haruna fantasizes about being alone with Rito and Rito giving her a kiss as a Christmas present.
Rito is a nice big brother when he isn't being a pervert.
Back at Rito's house, Lala asks Mikan if she and Rito always had Christmas parties. Mikan explains that this would be their first proper party, but they have celebrated the holidays before. Mikan remembers that one year Rito was in high spirits and made a mini Christmas tree. As Mikan was criticizing the tree, Rito gets a present and hands it to Mikan. The present was a scarf and a pair of earmuffs, and Mikan was very happy to receive these items from her brother. Mikan is a high-spirits this year to throw a party. Even though her parents are too busy to return, Mikan states that at least they have Lala's family and Celine to celebrate with.
Rito finally finds Yami in a local library. After dodging the intial attack, Rito explains to Yami that he wants her to go to the party at his house because it would make Mikan happy. A short time later, Rito brings Yami back to the house to surprise Mikan. Lala then appears in a Christmas costume and holding a big sack over her shoulders. Lala announces that she has a present for Mikan and opens the sack, and out of the sack appears Mikan and Rito's parents. As the surprised Rito and Mikan greet their parents, Lala explains that she had brought them back by spaceship. Mikan realizes that both Rito and Lala worked hard to bring back the people she liked and feels very happy about it. Someone rings the doorbell and Rito opens the door to find Haruna standing outside. Haruna's parents agreed to let Haruna come to the party, and Rito has no problem welcoming Haruna into the house. After the party starts, Rito's mother starts wondering about Celine, and Rito has to deny that is his daughter.
In a way, Celine is Rito's daughter.
Part 2 Summary:
Rito wakes up in the morning and finds Momo and a pair of girl's panties in his room. After Momo leaves to go change, Rito is spotted with the panties by Mikan, who misunderstands the situation. After getting dressed, Rito goes downstairs and finds a note from Lala. Lala has morning chore duty so she had to go early, but Peke still hasn't recharged yet so Rito is supposed to bring Peke to school after.
Rito waits for Peke to wake up but Peke is still recharging and Rito is in danger of being late for school. Momo arrives in the living room and lends Rito a "charger" after hearing about the dilemma. Rito uses the "charger" but instead he is digitized and sent into Peke's body. Rito is now stuck as Peke, and the effects of the digitizer won't wear off for two hours. Rito doesn't know what to do, but Momo suggests that Rito play along as Peke for the day so Lala's schedule won't be wrecked. Momo brings Rito to school and hands him off to Lala, who needs Rito to transform into her gym uniform. Rito tries to transform into the uniform but he ends up transforming in the kitchen apron (and nothing else), leaving Lala mostly naked.
Horniest character on the show by a wide margin.
Having promised Momo to play the part of Peke for the day, Rito (in Peke's body) serves as Lala's gym uniform while Lala is going through the stretches. Rito becomes embarrassed and aroused due to the fact that he feels every inch of Lala's curves, but he decides to stick with the plan since so that Lala doesn't know that it was Momo's mistake. Unfortunately, Rito's natural reactions trumps his emotions and he starts to malfunction. First Rito loses control of the tightness of Lala's gym shorts, and later he loses control completely when Lala goes on a run with Haruna and Oshizu. Rito unwilling transforms into a bikini and starts tightening up on Lala, while at the same time he starts putting costumes on all of the nearby girls. Rito/Peke eventually overheats and shuts down, and Momo runs over to give Lala a temporary Peke badge of the gym uniform while she takes Rito/Peke home.
How come Yui always gets the best costumes?
On the way back home, Momo apologizes to the unconscious Rito for putting him through this ordeal. Momo states that Rito is a kind person and this is why she's attracted to him. In the morning after Rito has been separated from Peke, Lala tells Peke to tell everyone if she's not feeling well, but Peke has no recollection of what happened and doesn't know what Lala is talking about.
Part 3 Summary:
Rito is out for a walk and runs into Run. Run asks Rito to be her boyfriend for a day, and Rito has no choice but to agree when Run turns on the tear ducts. Run drags Rito off to meet her friend who turns out to be Kyouko, the star of Lala's favorite TV show. Rito is initially stiff during the conversations with Run and Kyouko, but after finding out Kyouko is half-alien Rito begins to talk freely about how Lala is a big fan of Kyouko's. Seeing how Rito is so happy talking about Lala, Run becomes a little depressed and stops clinging onto Rito, and this is noticed by Kyouko.
Kyouko's flames aren't the only thing burning in this picture.
Suddenly, Rito and the girls are spotted by the perverted principal, who quickly shreds his clothes to chase after the girls. Rito and the girls quickly run into an alley where Run takes out a bomb to ward off the principle. Unfortunately Run drops the bomb before she can toss it, and the explosion rips off all of Run's and Kyouko's clothes, giving Rito a full frontal view of both girls. As the principal approaches, Kyouko uses Rito to shield her naked body and torches the principal with a fire blast. After the principal is defeated, Rito runs off to get the girls some clothes while Run and Kyouko hide in the alley. Run admits that Rito isn't really his boyfriend, and Kyouko states that she had already noticed. Kyouko agrees that Rito is pretty cute though and promises to help Run in her pursuit for Rito. A short while later, Rito returns with Lala who can use Peke to fix Run and Kyouko's clothes, and Lala is elated to meet Kyouko in real-life much to Run's annoyance.
Seeing Kyouko is nice. Seeing Kyouko naked is even better.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Another three decent segments this week, and the censoring was scarce which was good news as well. Unlike most of the previous episodes, the censoring this episode was mostly justified as the female characters were more or less completely naked. On the other hand, there weren't any groping in this episode, so there is no chance for the censors to go wild.
Anyways, on to the segments, all three were alright. The first Christmas segment had a nice little childhood memory between Mikan and Rito. I think it also marks the first time that Rito's mother has appeared in the anime in person. I could be mistaken about that, but I don't remember the chapter about Rito' mother sizing up Haruna and Lala being animated. Too bad this Christmas story didn't actually air near Christmas.
The second segment was a two-chapter micro-arc from the manga, and the anime did a pretty good job compressing two chapters down into one segment. Rito seem to have a tendency to get stuck in the bodies of other beings, and usually that results in copious amounts of fan service. The segment was mostly fan service-focused, with Lala being squeezed by Rito/Peke, Momo being horny, and the other girls being put into costumes. A bit mindless, but at least the fan service was funny.
The last segment had plenty of fan service as well with Kyouko and Run ending up completely naked. This segment continues from the story from an earlier episode about the growing friendship between Run and Kyouko, and this time Rito is added into the mix. Run ends up gaining Kyouko's support for her pursuit of Rito, but she didn't make any progress with Rito though. As for Kyouko, she did mention that Rito was cute, so there might be some possibilities there, as any attractive, non-committed female characters seem to be a possible candidate for Rito's harem lol.
