Squid Girl — Season 1, Episode 12: You Feeling Lucky, Squid? / Quite the Squidicament We’re In. / An Even Worse Squidicament!

Episode synopsis

A beach volleyball tournament is held with a 3D television as top prize and Ika and Eiko decide to team up, managing to reach the finals against Gorō’s team. When Eiko twists her ankle during the match point, Chizuru takes her place and wins the competition. Later, Ika’s tentacles suddenly stop working, along with her other squid abilities, and the others try various methods to bring them back with no avail. Although the others suggest it would be alright if Ika returns to the sea, everyone becomes lonely when Ika doesn’t immediately return. Ika later returns with her tentacles cut off, residing herself to being a normal girl, though Takeru makes it clear this isn’t what makes her happy. As Ika laments on the beach, she meets a girl named Kozue Tanabe, who assures her not all humans are bad and that she is not alone.

About Squid Girl

Squid Girl has come to the land from the depths of the sea to conquer humanity in revenge for pollution of the ocean. Unfortunately she ruins the first house she uses as an invasion base and has to work to pay for repairs. Of course, she can't overcome the Aizawa sisters who manage the house, so who knows whether she can subjugate humankind.
