The episode, titled starts with a classic summer setup. Nanami, eager for some normal teenage fun, drags her fox familiar Tomoe and the snake spirit Mizuki to the shore. But for Nanami, "normal" is a distant memory.

Nanami Momozono’s life as a fledgling Land God was never going to be easy, but Episode 8 of Kamisama Hajimemashita (Kamisama Kiss) proves that even a trip to the beach is fraught with supernatural drama.

While she's just looking for a chance to see Tomoe in a swimsuit (and perhaps get a little closer to him), the ocean has other plans. The Dragon King, an old rival of Tomoe’s from his wilder days, has been waiting centuries for a chance at revenge. He kidnaps Tomoe, dragging him into the depths of the sea.
