The only canonical picture of Nagamon in the pool. This pleases me. Also far better than Pedo DD Nagamon. Though considering Nagato's strength, it is a relief she didn't crush the poor bugger.

You may want to review the Curry Contest again. As in, "Why was Nagato always conveniently nearby the Akatsuki-class DDs?" :)

Nagato secretly wishes to retire and be a preschool teacher. Hanging around conveniently nearby wherever the Akatsuki-class DDs are is the closest she can get to fulfilling that dream.

They were very close to giving up on the contest and if they had not persevered, no one else would have had edible curry to contest Ashigara's super-spicy curry

Ashigara's curry didn't really seem so "Super" spicy to me. Nagato is just a wimp for spicy foods so the contest was mostly lopsided anyway. She would have ended up picking the least spiciest curry(if there was a choice).
The Akatsuki sisters(debatable for Akatski's reaction) seemed to honestly have no problem with Ashigara's curry and I was honestly a bit sad her curry lost since she probably actually made some normal outstanding stuff.
Hard to say what kind of pre-packaged stuff Shimakaze was using though. We don't know if Shimakaze likes Mild or the more Spicy stuff. All in all, Ashigara was cooking with adult taste in mind and no one else in the base besides Mutsu seems to even know that Nagato hates spicy food in the first place.

Kongou-class - Out 5th Car Div - Probably has cooking mishaps every time, out 1st Car Div - Probably has never successfully made a plate of curry without Akagi wolfing down the ingredients, out Shimakaze - Probably has never successfully made a plate of curry long enough to get judged, pre-packaged or not, out
She knew there wasn't any other choice and banked on the 6DD curry being manageable in comparison to Victory Curry, so she had to ensure they didn't give up and leave her with a year of Victory Curry
...Wait, why are we discussing this again? I was just trying to disprove lolicon Nagamon
Let's be fair to Nagamon. The winner's curry was going to be the curry for the WHOLE base, I doubt every shipgirls can handle spicy food. Let's just hope that Yonesuke from Shiba Inu TTK series can handle Ashigara's curry.
Now back to the subject, Ayane Sakura's voice acting was just perfect in that scene.

My main argument is that the usual stereotype is that kids can't handle spicy foods, thats why they eat mild curry. But Nagato seemed especially wimpy towards spicy food in general. When Inazuma, Ikazuchi and Hibiki tried Ashigra's curry, they all were praising it for how good it was.
I would even be willing to bet it was even Medium spicyness. The Akatsuki sisters seemed to make some very basic curry, but Ashigara's curry looked damn deliocious to me. Was that fried chicken breast in it?
I know the entire episode was mostly a "Cutsey wootsy Destroyer girls" episode and that was the whole point. But I just feel that Ashigara got unfairly gimped. Mostly because the only judge was a judge that doesn't like spicy food in the food place. Had there been at least 5 judges or had the Akatsuki girls blew fire out after trying her curry base, I wouldn't feel this way. Again, I realize the whole bit was for comedy, but in the end, I just felt more sorry for Ashigara rather than rooting for the Akatsuki sisters.
Granted, we couldn't see(they didn't draw) most of the other pair's ingrediants, but I didn't really see any peppers or any other "Ultra spicy" stuff anywhere so that leaves me to believe that they weren't going to go for a "So hot it makes you shoot fire out like a looney toons cartoon character" gag and that all the other "Adult" characters were just basically making normal spicy levels of curry. And Nagato was gonna end up hating all of them no matter how edible they would have been.
Japanese's "spicy" is lower than other country, especially the spice producers/markets countries.
And about feeling sorry for Ashigara, she deserve it right from her team's introduction and how she explains the importance of winning the competition for her.
Could we drop the whole curry competition discussion for another time and let us just bask in the Nagamon? I feel it's just escalating and let's not veer off topic.
Episode 6, she's always around to boost destroyer division 6's morale when they're in the dumps.

Mutsu explained it. It's not that Nagato hates spicy food, she has a sensitive stomach.

It's still mostly a gimp to anyone legitimately trying to win that competition in the first place which explains my salt. Had Ashigara also knocked herself out of the competition and the Akatsuki girls won by default, no salt would be had on my end due to the comedy of it. I still say Ashigara should have legitimately won, or at least have more than 1 freaking judge. If Ashigara and Haguro actually made bad curry as well, then I wouldn't have minded either. Nagato as a judge was just gonna end up picking whatever suited her the most anyway which is extremely biased. Whenver Curry day arrives at the base, Nagato could just opt to eat plain rice if she hates curry that much. I doubt anyone is pointing a gun at her head every day curry day happens.
