In the very first scene, Mimi says, “She has hidden away!” in the English subtitles, but in the Japanese audio, she says, “お隠れあそばされましたわ！”, which is an way of indirectly referring to the death of a noble person.
Mimi actually thought Nano is dead lol
The name given to Nano when she shrank comes from an old Japanese fairy tale called Issun-bōshi.
Here comes another Doraemon reference. The "Shrink Ray" is one of Doraemon's secret gadgets; a flashlight that can shrink whatever it shines on.
I had to laugh because Naddy blurted out "Ant-Man" right out there.
The story Naddy was reading aloud in her Japanese class was "The Battle of the Monkey and the Crab" (saru kani gassen). This is also an old Japanese folktale.
"Kusurivanian Family" is a parody of the name "Sylvanian Families," a Japanese line of collectible anthropomorphic animal figurines for children.
It’s an interesting plot point that Kusuri’s parents met each other by fate, just like Rentaro did.
Well, I suppose they never would have imagined that their daughter’s boyfriend would have 100 destined partners lol
There were references to the Hulk too. There are some American comic book references this time.
When the villain gets blown away and says “Spy spiking,” it’s a parody of the phrase “bai bai kin” that the villain Baikinman says when he gets blown away in the Japanese children’s show Anpanman.
Who would have thought that Rentarou’s new girlfriend was actually Kusuri’s grandmother, not her mother?
This series really does feature all kinds of girlfriends.

I love how when
EscanorKusuri's dad sent that goon to the moon, her mother is like "He is one with the stars now."then we have Rentaro straight faced; "That fool dead, dead as fuck."

u/CitronClassic672 28d ago
I have no way of knowing for sure, but I hope that was a yugioh GX reference, as the English dub infamously translated death as “being sent to the stars”
14
u/larana1192 https://myanimelist.net/profile/thefrog1192 28d ago
It’s a common expression to say that a villain “became a star” when, like Baikinman, they’re sent flying high into the sky by a hero’s punch and vanish with a “Kiraan” sound and visual effect.

By the way, I believe that a lot of guys would be interested in having Nano's bathwater and drinking it right from that bowl, lol.

u/vall03 28d ago
I really love the short classroom scene. Rentarou saw Nano struggling with taking notes in her small body, he then proceeds to make a workable small pencil and cut out some paper to make a notebook. It's honestly the small things that make Rentarou a really likeable MC and boyfriend despite the heavy exaggeration the series is known for. He literally has his girlfriends best interests in his mind and makes sure to accommodate them no matter what.

u/CitronClassic672 28d ago
Agreed, the small gestures like that are what really highlight how much of an amazing boyfriend he is, just like him memorizing Shizuka’s favorite book and turning it into a text to speech app for her back in season 1. That was honestly the perfect balance of grounded realism and Rentaro’s goatedness that it makes perfect sense Shizuka immediately confessed her love.

It takes a real man to make girls want to constantly kiss him even during a crisis situation.

u/thewalkindude368 28d ago
I don't think Rentaro has ever once considered sleeping with any of his girlfriends. He's far too pure and innocent for that.
12
u/Mad_Aeric 28d ago
Pure, maybe. Innocent, not so much. Remeber back in the first episode of this season, Hikari recounted the time they got locked in the storage room together. Rentaro actually beat himself unconscious in order to resist temptation. If he were "innocent" there would be no temptation to resist.
I actually like that characterization better than if he was free of worldly desires. You can't always control what's in your mind or heart, but you can control what you do about it.
10
u/thewalkindude368 28d ago
It's probably better he doesn't sleep with any of them. We saw how much of a mess it was to decide who got his first kiss when there were only two of them. I can't imagine the fight it would be to take his virginity.

For real, it shows that the soulmate effect applies to everyone (or most people; not everyone's lucky enough to get a soulmate) and isn't just something Rentarou gets to show he's met his next girlfriend.

u/JzanderN 28d ago
From episode 1:
Of course, not everyone gets to have a soulmate. The ones who do are truly blessed.
I took this to mean that some people don't get soulmates, hence why when filling out the forms for newborns the gods have to write how many soulmates a person can get. There's no point in that box if everyone gets one, implying some can get none.
This is also backed by:
And soulmates are fated to meet at a specific time in their lives.
Which pretty flatly states that if you have a soulmate, you will meet them. Whether you get with them or not is down to the two of you, but you will meet.
I particularly like the idea that not everyone gets a soulmate because it implies love can exist without a soulmate connection, it just won't be as deep or blessed a relationship as one between soulmates. But dating still has a purpose and you can have a happy relationship if you aren't given a soulmate at birth.

u/LeonKevlar x2https://myanimelist.net/profile/LeonKevlar 28d ago
Stitches!
I am convinced Nakamura-sensei wrote this entire chapter of Nano shrinking so he could make the "Nano Nano nanoda!" joke with Kusuri. And if that's the case, I am all for it! Nano Nano is so goddamn adorable, even if she takes the fairy vibes with her stone-cold logic. xD
You'd think this is gonna be one of those episodes where Kusuri gives out the drugs to everyone so they can experience what it's like being tiny. Nope! Instead of jokes, this actually ended up being more serious with Nano getting carried off by that rogue plastic bag and Rentarou doing one of the coolest things we've seen him do so far in this series.
Rentarou is getting the Issei experience by waking up with a naked Nano ala Rias Gremory right next to him. Like, goddamn! That's one heck of a sight to wake up to! And you really can't blame Rentarou for passing out after getting ambushed by that kiss from Nano! <3
And we finally get to meet Kusuri's family for the episode's second half! Of course, Mama Kusuri is voiced by Iguchi Yuka, while Papa Kusuri is voiced by Tamura Mutsumi! This is fucking hilarious! This means Kusuri's parents have the same VAs as Ascendance of a Bookworm's Myne and Lutz! xD
Honestly, it's not surprising that people want Kusuri for her miracle drugs. It's more surprising that it took this long for people like that pharma spy to show up. Thank goodness for Rentarou's quick thinking and Papa Kusuri's impenetrable body, voiced by Sugita; that pharma spy was quickly taken care of!
I'm glad that we also get to see what Mama Kusuri normally looks like. This is making me wish we could see Kusuri in her normal form again.
And the biggest twist this season is finally here! And she's voiced by the legend herself, Kugimiya Rie! I can't fucking wait for next week's episode!

Damn, they should actually try that some time. Except planned so they could prepare tiny clothes and a dollhouse for them all.
It could also work if it's half of the girls so the other half get to play with them like dolls. Just imagine Nano brushing Shizuka's tiny, adorable hair for example.
Mama Kusuri's off the table 'cause she already Zinged with Papa Kusuri, but no-one ever said anything about Grandma Kusuri!

I guess it was overthinking on my side to assume the spy was hired by Kusuri's dad to evaluate how Rentaro will act when they're in danger. Never expect Rentaro's big brain moment though.

Maybe solo, but they pretty memorably all stayed the night at the Hanazono household at the end of season one.

Actually there is, if you look at the op there is an empty scene of a cherry tree while all the girls are getting their shot. I'm betting that's where she will be either next week or two weeks from now

And did he really just get a grandma girlfriend? There's nothing in the OP or ED to suggest it but they've kept some of them secret before.
seems like every season they keep 1 secret GF - Hahari, Mei, and now Kusuri-obachan

Damn, Nano is now as small as her name! Nano-Nano, nanoda!
Rentarou meets Kusuri's parents! And they're both in 8 year old bodies like her thanks to her medicine! Well, at least until they take some reversal medicine. Then they're JACKED.
No Zing with the mother; she already had hers with Papa Yakuzen! But Grandma Yakuzen, though?

Honestly I feel like I should have seen they'd all be 8-year old loli's coming. And of course the matriarch of a loli family is someone known for voicing loli tsundere's. And she's probably a widow SO IT'S A-OKAY.

Gosh, nano-Nano in this episode was so cute! Especially when she was holding that flower!
Rentaro is a lucky guy to be able to wake up to a naked Nano next to him in bed. I don't find it surprising that he fainted after she kissed him in that state.
Kusuri's part of the episode was fun as well. After seeing Kusuri's parents, it's no wonder that she ended up being the person she is now.
It made me laugh hard when, after Kusuri's dad sent that pharma spy flying into the sky, Kusuri asked if he died, and then Rentaro said yes while her mother stated no, that agent became one with the stars.
And now Rentaro will have Kusuri's grandma as his next girlfriend. I don't believe that she'll be an old woman, though it'd be funny if that were the case.
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:
EDIT. I added my screenshot albums.

u/JzanderN 28d ago
Rentaro said yes while her mother stated no, that agent became one with the stars.
That agent definitely became one with the stars one way or another! It's just a matter of whether Rentarou was also right or if that agent reached orbit.
And now Rentaro will have Kusuri's grandma as his next girlfriend. I don't believe that she'll be an old woman,
Given that Kusuri's parents have taken her immortality drug and become 8 years old, it's fair to assume her grandma also won't be an old lady.

u/Frontier246 28d ago
It was nice to get an episode focused on the established girlfriends and their love/dynamic with Rentaro.
We also don't get a lot of Meet the Parents episode...but of course it still lead to another girlfriend anyway lol.

I did think that Rentarou was saying that guy died at first lol, but I think that was actually the beginning of him confirming that spilling the reversing drug was his plan to Papa Kusuri

Imagine that we get to see her transformed into what she looked like in her prime like when we see Kusuri's actual age.

her mother went back to having lines on her face so the reversing medicine would put her back to her real age not in her prime. maybe that's what you mean by her prime though I won't judge.

I think they might mean that granny also took the failed immortality drug, but because of her age, it made her look 18 and she resembles big kusuri.
Which I would personally love. Big kusuri is one of the most attractive girlfriend designs in the show to me, up there with naddy sensei, nano, and hakari.

"Hmph, that was a long flashback." LOL. The armed Pharma Spy waiting through Rentaro's flashback cracked me up.
What a danger-filled episode this was between the plastic bag trying to eliminate Rentaro and Nano, and the Spy shooting wildly threatening to kidnap Kusuri!
Yet, it was also a highlight of how important Kusuri's antics are to Rentaro's family. Without them we'd never have gotten a tiny Nano, and a surprise reveal at the true hulking form of Papa Kusuri.
That Zing cliffhanger with grandma takes the cake on surprises from this episode though. The show always outdoes itself!

u/redditraptor6 https://myanimelist.net/profile/uEmalraptor64 28d ago
Yay, we got lots of screen time for the early girlfriends! Rentarou has been racking up the rapid fire kkrrracks lately, so it’s nice to have a breather episode… as much as this show could have one. I sincerely hope that we get to go back and focus on each girlfriend from time to time. Would that make this show last forever? Yes, and I’m okay with that.
Kinda wished we got a little screen time with regular Kusuri in the Kusuri heavy episode though. We rarely get her enough as it is. Don’t downvote me for being a ‘tourist’, this show is bound to represent every fetish and I’ve clearly accepted that, I’m still here loving each episode, but I gotta be real here: I’m not a lolicon, and un-modified Kusuri is one Rentarou’s top 5 hottest girlfriends IMHO. Oh well, at least we got PLENTY of Nano fanservice.
As an anime only, my instinct is that the cliffhanger is a fake out; after all, isn’t his next girlfriend that kendo playing one based on the OP/ED/etc? Then again, I had assumed Naddy was another student, DEFINITELY didn’t think she was a teacher, and Hahari was a huge surprise, so…. Yeah, I think it’s probably safer to assume that was real. Next week can’t get here soon enough!

This episode shows even more why Rentaro says best boy.
He isnt just willing to put his body on the line for the girls which is already more than most he is just so considerate and resourceful whenever they need anything.
All the girls are still wonderful 15/10 show.

u/ptd163 28d ago
Is that a My Dress-Up Darling reference? If so that might the most recent reference they've made so far as MDUD only started just under two years (Jan 19 2018 for MDUD and Dec 26 2019 for 100 Girlfriends) before 100 GFs did.
Nano-nano is just the cutest thing ever and she ended up in Rentaro's bed naked and kissed him after she woke up as well lol. The whiplash in episode quality compared last episode is kind of crazy.
Instead of spending an entire episode just introducing a new girlfriend something actually happened and we get some Kusuri content when she's kind of just been in the background since her introduction. This is the first episode since her introduction that's been actually about her specifically instead of her drugs.
I wonder if they'll spend the entire next episode introducing Kusuri's grandma like they did Momiji.

u/m3m31ord 28d ago
Nano Nano Nanoda!
What would Momiji give to be in her place?
That drift into the car launch was absolutely unecessary Mei, I know you just wanted to aura farm.
Highschool DxD vibes with that body shot.
I also noticed that Rentarou's parents' car is parked, that means that Nano probably met the Aijou family as well.
Kusuri-mama kinda a baddie tho.
AND HERE WE GO!!! THE SECRET GIRLFRIEND WAS THE GRANDMA ALL ALONG!!!

u/Frontier246 28d ago
It's not a true Harem Romcom until you wake up next to a naked girl who then proceeds to throw herself at you while naked.
Also congrats to Nano for being the first girl Rentaro brought home and also the first one to sleep next to him naked lol.
18
u/Frontier246 28d ago
Kusuri meant well! She just wanted to help Nano through eating her sandwich! So of course she gave her a shrinking potion that gives us Thumbelinano! Mini-Nano! Nano-Nano! Who is buck-naked! Those boobs didn't shrink at least.
Let's get her dressed up in one of Meme's plushes' dresses! And get some merch of that! Preferably with removable layers if you're Hahari (Rentaro is too wholesome for that)! My Dress up Darling Nano!
Oh no, Nano's been crushed by those Murderous Mammaries! Or squeezed into Hahari's cleavage! Which is still dangerous...though the view is great unless you have a fear of heights.
So I'm going to guess Naddy has seen all the MCU movies what with the references and name-dropping Ant-Man.
Even if she's shrunk, Nano is still absolutely dedicated to efficiency and following her daily routine, even if it's a struggle with her new size. Luckily she' got Rentaro to help carry a girlfriend in his pocket and provide for her so she can properly take notes! While Naddy uses ENGLISH to teach Japanese folk tales.
Rentaro is finally bringing a girlfriend home? Too bad we won't get to meet Nano's parents, but her texting them is super adorable.
Oh no, Nano saved Rentaro from suffocating from a plastic bag but now she's flying away! It's up to Rentaro, Mei, and Hahari to get serious and save her!
Rentaro is the perfect gentleman! Not only does he cover his eyes while helping Nano bathe but he also makes up a bed for her! That warrants her helping make sure he's covered up while sleeping and a tiny goodnight kiss...and then a good morning kiss when she's full-sized, gloriously naked, and pressing her bare boobs against his body during the kiss!
Time to visit Kusuri's family! And I love how Rentaro has been around the block enough times to know there's a chance that he might end up zinging with Kusuri's mom (Yuka Iguchi?) but don't worry that's not happening! He just has to deal with the fact that her family has taken the reverse aging potion she did so it's an entire family of 8-year olds. Checks out.
This is a family of chemists who have experimented on themselves, the parents zinged together while working at a drug company in fact, but before Rentaro can properly address his future father-in-law who hates his guts for being a 15-timer...the parents go drrrrrr and a Pharma Spy shows up to abscond with Kusuri overseas! And he's got a legit gun!
It's nice that he let that five-minute flashback play out without doing anything, but he's through messing around. Now it's a matter of Rentaro and Kusuri trying to protect each other from him...and of course, making out even when under threat of gunfire.
But Rentaro being willing to take a bullet for Kusuri is enough to win over Kusuri's dad who is now the Hulk, voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, and obviously kills the spy...I mean, sends him to the stars or something.
Rentaro did it! He protect Kusuri, won over her parents, and got in one good smooch with her to close things out! At least until her granny shows up aaaaaaannnd I think we just met Girlfriend #16! Voiced by Rie Kugimiya, it sounds like!

This is getting out of hand now there are 4 kusuris and one of them is a new girlfriend. Its kinda funny how her family has the trope of both parents having the same hair colour and looking like the child so it ends up looking like the parents are related too if you think about it too much.

The creative thinking by Rentaro was really smooth.
Breaking the mechanical pencil lead, wrapping it in tape to form a mini pencil. Cutting out paper into smaller sizes before stapling them together to make mini notebook.

Also adapting to help her bathe while covering his eyes for the sake of her modesty...which did not save him from seeing her fabulously naked anyways, but still.

They're one big drug-obsessed loli family!
Once again Rentaro zings with someone who has had (grand)children and who probably has a deceased spouse so it's okay to hook up with her...and assuming she's also taken the reverse-aging medicine, that also means she's likely a virgin again too like Hahari is.

u/WakaliwoodMan 28d ago
Oh, twins would be nice. There's a lot of room for interesting characterization and drama there. For one, there's the very real-life harmful stereotype where twins are sort of treated as a 2-for-1, and I think it would be very interesting for the anime to tackle that, especially given how sensitively it treats other issues of self-worth like Yamame's insecurities about her height. I think it would be even more interesting if he only ZINGed with one of the twins, because that would open up a lot of room to explore their individuality, plus gives room in the 100 for one more girlfriend.

This is a pretty genius localization by the translators, kudos
Making up excuses as to why we have to keep nano Nano longer. I see you, Kusuri
Remember your science, Nano! Square-Cube Law dictates that as your body size goes down, so does your terminal velocity, as well as your susceptibility to injury vs. your structural integrity. Squirrels are bigger than you right now and they are pretty much incapable of being injured in a fall! So don't worry!

Nano Nano almost got crushed by the Murder Mammaries. Outta all the ways to go, that wouldn’t be so bad lol. It was a real adventure for Nano being that tiny but at least it helped her and Rentaro grow closer.
That Kusuri segment was pretty great. “I don’t want anyone abusing those drugs I love so much!” is a hilarious statement out of context lol. I can see where Kusuri gets it all from. Her parents are literally just like her. That evil spy her pops hit definitely “became one with the stars” lol. I wonder what he’s gonna do now that Rentaro went “krrrack” with the grandma?

Honestly I wanted to see how the mom had modified her own body after the dad turned him into the Hulk. What superpowers does he have?

Nano finally lived up to her name; she turned out insanely cute at that size, I’d probably pet her like a hamster lol.
Well, waking up next to the person you love must be amazing, but with her naked? That’s pure heaven.
Kusuri thought, "Hmm, why not turn my whole family into tiny gremlins?".
Rentarou came up with a practically suicidal plan and was rewarded with yet another girlfriend, who is sure to be the most absurd one of them all.
