The moment of realization that the sky above them isn't actually the sky; that it's instead the terrifying blue light of the Otherisde and it HAS been the whole time while they've been carelessly frolicking on the beach; that moment is probably one of the most intense "oh fuck" moments I've seen from the novels. I'm glad the manga managed to pull it off well.
I love how chaotic the Beach arc is. The girls act so reckless, even by their own standards.
Something I think should always be remembered is that the Otherside screws with people's heads. It not only provokes fear, it also causes them to accept or ignore things that would normally make them stop and seriously question the situation.
It didn't occur to me in the novel, but isn't Toriko suspiciously calm while she thinks she shot two people?
I think she was compartmentalizing her emotions. Had they turned out to be actually people instead of Otherside nightmare things, she probably would have had a bit of a breakdown later.
