It takes the one gag you'd never build an episode around, Fear's screaming terror of spiders, and makes her walk straight into it. That's the C3 move in miniature: goof off through a class camping trip, snacks and bickering and the usual cursed-tool nonsense, then drop the floor out when Haruaki gets snatched by something with too many legs. Fear Kubrick is an instrument of torture wearing a girl's body, and this twenty-odd minutes remembers that she's also a coward about exactly one thing and pushes anyway. Konoha and the rest get their beats, the ecchi tax gets paid, but the episode belongs to the girl who has to look at the thing she cannot look at. It shipped tucked into volume five of the Blu-ray, which is the most C3 thing about it. Fans who chased it down know why they bothered.
Fear, Yachi and the rest of their class set out into the wilderness for a camping trip, and at first it is all lighthearted fun. That changes when a cursed beast captures Yachi. Fear, meanwhile, has no choice but to confront her fear of spiders directly. This one-episode special mixes action, comedy, ecchi and supernatural elements, and it was never broadcast: it came bundled with the fifth Blu-ray volume of C³.
