No Way, They Swapped Bodies? The Adorable Body Swap in "Chiikawa" Episode 202

In episode 202 of the anime "Chiikawa," an unexpected accident occurs where the characters Chiikawa (voiced by Haruka Aoki), Hachiware (voiced by Makoto Tanaka), and Usagi (voiced by Ari Ozawa) end up swapping bodies.

The trio enters a rundown arcade and decides to try a slot machine using some coins they found lying around. Hachiware worries about using the found coins, asking, "Is it okay to use these?" But Usagi, not bothered by it, proceeds to spin the slot machine. The reels align with an arrow-spinning symbol, but nothing seems to happen.

When they spin the slot machine again, the same symbols stop in place. Chiikawa wonders aloud, "Doesn't anything happen?" but something seems off. Usagi is shocked to hear Chiikawa speaking, and Hachiware strikes a familiar arm-crossing pose typical of Usagi.

In reality, the effect of the slot machine has caused the three to swap bodies. Although they feel anxious about the swap, Hachiware, now in Chiikawa's body, casually dismisses the situation with a carefree, "Oh well."

This scene has received numerous praises for the voice actors' superb performance in switching roles, with comments such as "The acting in switching roles is too good for any voice actor" and "Oh! Everyone is doing well! Good job". In addition, there were many positive comments such as "This episode was divine", "The freshness of the split-faced cat striking a Usagi pose" and "I want to see more of this".
