Yo-kai Peppillon

Nate and Jibanyan are hanging out on the first day of spring break when Whisper comes in with a package under his arm, giggling. Jibanyan notes that somebody in the room wants attention. Whisper claims it’s a spring break present for Nate. It’s a little baggie of yo-kai repellent. The bag has another bag in it, and, when Whisper removes the second bag, he and Jibanyan collapse onto the floor amid a cloud of purple anti-yo-kai smoke. They have to plug their noses up to even be around it. Nate isn’t really so sure about it still. In the kitchen, Nate’s parents are preparing for a spring break featuring no relaxation whatsoever. Whisper encourages Nate to get excited about his break, but Nate doesn’t want to hike with his parents to “some boring waterfall.” His parents are so excited about this waterfall, they do a choreographed dance in sync with each other and sing a song about the waterfall.

This is too much for Nate. He thinks they must have something extra going on and that it must be a yo-kai. As soon as Nate looks, he finds a huge butterfly called Peppillon. This yo-kai’s power is to make people overenthusiastic about boring things. Whisper convinces Nate to let the butterfly stay because he’s making Nate’s parents so happy. They decide to just go on the hike and see if Peppillon is any fun. They invite Jibanyan who realized that he can’t come because he hates all cars and refuses to ride in one until Peppillon sprinkles some pep on him. In the enclosed space of the car, the whole family gets inspirited, so they stand in front of the waterfall hooting and hollering until it begins to rain and Peppillon flutters away for shelter, leaving everyone with their usual disposition. While they all recover from coming down and getting totally soaked, Nate thinks he notices that there are too many storms lately. He asks Whisper if he thinks it could be a yo-kai, but he insists that the yo-kai repellent is too good to allow that. He is so firm on this point, but Nate finds a yo-kai like always.

This yo-kai is a big blue volcano man named Drizzle who doesn’t blow out smoke but rain clouds. Whisper forgot to charge his tablet and can’t explain that. Jibanyan has to tell Nate this new yo-kai’s name. They resolve to get rid of him to clear the weather up, so Nate calls in Robonyan. Nate explains they need him to stop the rain. He tears open a wormhole, travels to a department store, and buys a vacuum to suck up all the rainclouds. He only succeeds in sucking up Whisper. When his first plan fails, he fires his rocket fists at drizzle who cries, runs away and takes the rain with him. Because they met two yo-kai in one day, they decide the yo-kai repellent doesn’t really work. When Whisper reads the back of the bag, he sees that he bought a bag that can only repel cat and butler yo-kai like Jibanyan and him. Jibanyan busts him upside the head for being so stupid.

It’s lucky that Whisper failed to buy real repellent though. The family gets stuck in traffic on the way home, and while Nate’s father is thinking about how he needs to get his sleeping wife and son home, a yo-kai, Mirapo, teleports the car directly to their driveway while he’s in the middle of a yawn. But the fact that this is another failure of Whisper’s earns him another whack, this time by Nate, out into the sky.

Komasan in the City: My Cool Brother

Komasan and Komajiro are back at the club, but Komajiro’s DJing now. Komasan doesn’t think he knows his brother at all anymore. While he’s thinking this, some acquaintances of Komajiro’s approach to talk. One praises KJ’s set, saying the grooves touched his very soul, but the others are here to ask about an upcoming dance contest and to ask if Komajiro chose an outfit to wear while he participates. He has, and it’s a t-shirt with the same pattern as his brother’s swirly green bindle. His human friends don’t like it at all, but Komajiro loves it. Just based on the t-shirt, the humans start bullying him about his country origins. Komasan steps in and tells them they have to put Komajiro down or “get a proper whuppin’.” Big Koma also demands they don’t speak ill of the country. The guy whose soul was touched by the groove asks, “what’s so good about it, hillbilly?” Komasan has a big long list. He tells them everything he misses about home with tears in his eyes even as they laugh at him. But they also still haven’t put his little brother down, so he charges at them and trips. Komasan tumbles end over end through the air and crashes through each of them. They escape Komasan’s accidental wrath, and Komajiro is so grateful for his brother’s help.

The brothers are looking out over the river, and Komajiro admits he was dazzled by the city, but he truly loves his country home and life. He throws his phone away into the distance and walks off, but Komasan digs through the grass for it. He figures it could be useful and keeps it.

Manjimutt: The Great Dog Escape: Episode 5

Manjimutt’s creepy new friend is named Charlie, and he’s in for petty theft. When the last segment left them, a prisoner named Gonzales was looking for and had found Manjimutt. This time, he grabs the dog man by his scruff and drags him off. Gonzales tells Manjimutt there’s good news and bad news: that if he doesn’t do as Gonzales says, he’s a goner. If he does but messes up anyway, he’s a goner. What Gonzales tells him to do is to pick flowers from the beautiful garden Charlie tends in the prison yard. Manjimutt is trying to appease Gonzales without betraying Charlie, but when he approaches the flowerbed, he is overwhelmed by dog instincts to dig the flowers all up. He snaps out of it when he digs up a knife. That’s what Gonzales wanted all along. He’s a federal agent doing a sting in the prison looking for evidence of Charlie’s guilt in one of many many murders. Somehow, Charlie buried the knife inside the prison. Because Manjimutt aided in the investigation, his sentence will be reduced, but he as to survive with Charlie in the meantime.
