At the end of season one's last episode in _Shinryaku! Ika Musume_ , Ika
Musume loses her squid powers, like glowing, tentacle usage, and regeneration,
among others. In fact, it seems that the only power she kept was breathing
underwater. Why? The anime gave no reason for her powers to go away, nor any
reason for them to come back. The trigger was, "someone is in danger", but
Takeru threw an inflatable orca at her to no avail, and Sanae managed to glomp
Ika without being hurt. Given Ika's notorious selfishness, the best motivator
should have been her being in danger, rather than someone else.

Was it ever explained or implied in the manga? Was this anime-only filler?
What's the deal with that?

Why did Ika Musume lose her squid powers?


It's because she didn't use it as much as when she was still living on the sea
her tentacle withered. So she said...

Unlike the anime, the reason her tentacle grow back was because she was in
danger - she saw a killer whale float
