Why?

Why not?
Because loli
>>138604981
Because it was a criticism of the infamous beach episodes that ruin every series.
As a proof, all the characters are dressed casually and not in fucking bikini, and the only sexual reference we see comes from a fucking marine animal.

>critising a "bad" trope by adding in parts of "bad" trope does not make it criticism

Beach episodes are absolutely infamous and have become a trope of bad taste and laziness. Anyone who knows his anime knows that beach episodes are for 90% of them completely unrelated to the plot of the series and just thrown in to pander to the average virgin otaku to make them have fantasies about the female characters. It's easy to make ("lol just have the characters fool around at the beach"), uninventive, there's no storytelling, and the only goal is selling more merch.
Beach episodes are shit.

Yeah, i wasnt disagreeing the fact that beach episodes are shit, I agree with you. However, can you honestly say one beach episode really ruins a series?

They blur it because those are its intestines. They jokingly blur out the blood in an earlier episodes in the same fashion. It's meant to be funny because they're grossing out a kid, not because it looks lewd.

It was really not that big of a deal. The joke that is, the sea cucumber looks above average. Lasted a couple of seconds and wasn't heavy handed.
They live in the Goto islands where there is not much to do but go to the beach; much like Hawaii, everyone can swim. Of course people have real beach gear like masks and snorkels. Since it's remote and not everything has been crapped on, there is sea life like sea cucumbers.
This is way different from urban Japan. Most Japanese people rarely visit natural beaches, which tend to be fucked up by concrete. They go to constructed swimming beaches that don't have the same natural life.
Incidentally, sea cucumbers are pretty phallic and they spit white stringy stuff so it's pretty hard to avoid the comparison...
