What to expect from Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 Episode 9? (Speculative)

Looking at how this episode ended, fans could expect the following for Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 Episode 9:
- More fallout from the mixer: The biggest question going into Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 Episode 9 is how the characters will behave after the revelations from the lie detector. Iori may have survived the interrogation, but the awkwardness surrounding his answers is unlikely to disappear immediately.
- Sakurako's feelings could become clearer: Sakurako may have genuine feelings for Iori. Viewers pointed to her curiosity about Iori and Chisa, her reaction to discovering that someone in the room was her type, and her interest in Iori's answer about which women he finds attractive. Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 Episode 9 could build on those hints without turning the series into a straightforward romance.
- Iori's romantic problems continue: Iori's biggest problem is that Grand Blue rarely allows him to escape a situation peacefully. Even when he manages to avoid one disaster, another usually appears immediately afterward. Fans can expect more comedy surrounding Iori's complicated relationships.
In the end, Grand Blue Dreaming Season 3 Episode 9 could give fans even more entertaining moments for both comedy lovers and fans invested in the series' romantic side.
