What Grand Blue Dreaming season 2 is about
Source: Crunchyroll
If you're new here: Grand Blue is an anime about diving—but mostly it's about college life gone completely off the rails. Our boy Iori Kitahara moves to a seaside town to start fresh, only to be pulled into the wild vortex of the college diving club, where beer flows like water, shame doesn't exist, and every episode turns into a chaos Olympics.
And yet… somehow it's also wholesome? That's the magic. Underneath the screaming, nudity, and absurd humour lies a surprisingly heartfelt story about friendship, growing up, and finding your place—even if that place is face-down on a tatami mat in your boxers.
What's new in Grand Blue Dreaming Season 2
Season 2 continues right where the last emotional hangover left off. Expect more beach trips, diving mishaps, sake-fueled nightmares, and over-the-top reactions. Animation studios Zero-G and Liber are back, with Shinji Takamatsu returning as director, so the vibes, energy, and comedic timing are still on point. It's all about escalating the chaos—plus, new characters are expected to shake up the group dynamic (and possibly drink them under the table).
The club's dive training arc is also set to go deeper (pun intended), adding more underwater scenes and actual diving facts between breakdowns.

Osaka Ojo Gang wins World of Street Woman Fighter Season 3 over AG Squad; fans cry nepotism as TWICE Momo's sister takes the crown
On July 22, 2025, Osaka Ojo Gang took home the championship title on World of Street Woman Fighter (WSWF) Season 3, beating out fierce competitors AG Squad and Motiv in a live finale aired by Mnet. Exuding stage-commanding energy, the Japanese crew captivated the judges and studio audience alike with their powerful final performance. The crew's artistry and charisma earned widespread praise as many highlighted how far they had come over the course of the season. For many viewers, their finale routine sealed the deal, but online, the debate was just beginning, with many alleging that AJ Squad was the real winner. Fans rally behind AG Squad The moment Osaka Ojo Gang was announced as the winner, social media users were left stunned, as many felt that AG Squad, who had consistently delivered technically flawless and emotionally gripping performances, had clearly earned the top spot. One fan tweeted, 'Ag squad really carried the whole season just to end up like Jam Republic…' Y'all not tired of snubbing the real winners?" ag squad really carried the whole season just to end up like jam republic… y'all not tired of snubbing the real winners 😭 "Honestly, I didn't need the AG squad to win 1st place because their superior performances and sheer work ethic during the show speak for themselves. They're a winner in my eyes, and that's all that matters," another wrote. honestly I didn't need ag squad to win 1st place because their superior performances and sheer work ethic during the show speak for themselves, they're a winner in my eyes and that's all that matters! 🫶🫶 #WSWF #WSWF3 Some fans even speculated that the decision leaned into Mnet's push for global appeal and that Osaka Ojo Gang's international popularity might've tipped the scales. The sentiment wasn't universal, but it was loud and persistent. Why are fans crying nepotism? Adding to the controversy, some netizens are now crying nepotism, pointing to the fact that TWICE member Momo's older sister, Hana Hirai, is part of the Osaka Ojo Gang. The connection drew even more attention when several TWICE members, including Momo, Jihyo, Jeongyeon, Nayeon, and Sana, showed up at the WSWF finale in support of the crew. While their presence lit up the crowd and added star power to the event, some fans are questioning whether the group's K-pop ties may have influenced the outcome. ' "Wdym a crew who wins almost all missions got lost to a crew who never wins even one? Oh, I hate nepotism. If it's SWF 2, I get it since Bebe wins on some missions too, but this? Meh," said one user. wdym a crew who wins almost all missions got lost to a crew who never win even one 🙂↔️ oh i hate nepotism. if swf 2 i get it since bebe wins on some missions too, but this? meh TWICE members and Daehwi spotted on the finale of WSWF. #WSWF AG Squad vs. Osaka Ojo Gang: two very different journeys AG Squad had one of the strongest track records this season. They came out on top in several missions, including the demanding Mega Crew challenge, and consistently impressed judges with clean execution and detailed choreography. Their elimination battle earlier in the show showcased just how fierce and prepared they were, making it all the more shocking when they didn't walk away with the title. Osaka Ojo Gang, on the other hand, gained momentum later in the season. Their Dance Film Mission performance—which racked up over 2.5 million views and 330,000 likes—helped cement their status as crowd pullers. Led by Kyoka and Ibuki, their finale routine leaned more into stage presence and emotional impact than technical perfection. That choice clearly worked for the judges, who emphasised storytelling and transformation in their final evaluations. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.
