Komasan: Movin On Up Episode 1
Komasan and Komajiro are both back to their old country selves, and they live in a shack outside of town. Komasan got the idea to find a job from his little brother, so he went out to get one. On a walk through the city, Komasan picks a nice looking building and they just so happen to be looking for a janitor. The cat spirit commits himself completely to this new job, planning to keep it forever. Komasan’s a great janitor. He cleans everything he can find including the lens of the camera. While he’s doing that, a big executive comes into the room brainstorming out loud to himself about how to serve 21st century “children who’ve seen it all.” Completely on accident, Komasan gives him the idea he needs when he notes “a bug, y’all.”
The guy, the company president, bursts into the packed board room and passes on Komasan’s idea, and they take off. Turns out, toy stores are now flooded with kids and families who want to buy these bugs which appeal to every single child. Because the bugs are so successful, Komasan is promoted from janitor to executive. He doesn’t really know what that means, so when he tells Komajiro over dinner about his promotion, he also mentions he doesn’t know how to be an executive. He shows up to work wearing a suit and tie but continues to clean the building. Komajiro finds a piece of loose candy and gives the president another idea for a brand new character, Candice the candy person. Komasan scored again, and because he’s being congratulated so extravagantly, he says, “ aw, shucks. You’re making me blush.” And that becomes Candice’s catchphrase, which also sweeps the nation. Because Komasan can only produce winners, as far as anyone knows, he rises all the way up to the rank of vice president of strategic planning. Komajiro can’t believe his brother is so successful in the week he’s been there. Komasan doesn’t really get it still. He’s just happy to make Komajiro proud.
Yo-kai Cynake
It’s Mother’s Day, and Nate and his father are celebrating Nate’s mom. They’re pampering her. They made her tea and a beautiful plate of pancakes. She starts out enjoying them, but she suddenly gets passive-aggressive and mean. Her husband is trying so hard to soothe her, but she’s not having it. Last time they had a big fight, a yo-kai was causing it, so Nate looks into it and finds a smug, imperial-looking snake spirit. Whisper looks him up and explains this yo-kai is Cynake. His power is to make people find problems between them and others where none exist.
Nate’s dad is begging and pleading with his wife, but she continues to push back. Literally in one case, knocking her tea onto herself. And then the fight becomes about her clothes. Nate thinks back to the last fight his parents had and summons Happierre to warm the room up. He lowers heartful sparkles over the couple, but Cynake is able to resist for a while. Soon Happierre prevails and the fight stops right there. This leaves Cynake aggressively putting his nose up at their affectionate display before he slithers off. But Happierre doesn’t have anywhere to be, so Nate’s parents stay mushy. The only thing he, Whisper and Jibanyan can do is turn away.
Yo-kai Rockabelly
This segment begins with Nate, Jibanyan and Whisper watching a news report about people in town “belly dancing” all over. Later, all the students are filing into Nate’s home room. Everyone says good morning very politely, but in the middle of Eddie’s greeting, he whips his tummy out, revealing a big goofy face. Bear is nearly falling over laughing, but Katie’s embarrassed just watching her friend rock out. Eddie doesn’t even stop when Mr. Johnson comes in. But a shadow leaves his body, and he comes out of his trance. Bear asks about how Eddie learned the dance and how he drew the face on his belly, but Eddie pulls his shirt up, and there’s no face. Mr. Johnson begins class but he interrupts himself with more belly dancing.Eddie acts like it’s the first time seeing anything like this, so Nate is sure Eddie lost time from being inspirited. The yo-kai watch shows there’s a big fat bird with a froggy face on its head and a dopey drawn face on its belly perched on top of Mr. Johnson’s head. That bird is Rockabelly.
Rockabelly puts the face on people’s stomachs and fills them with the urge to make the face dance. Katie inadvertently draws Rockabelly’s attention when she rises to ask a question, and the bird lands on her, putting Nate into emergency mode. He’s quick on his feet, and thinks of Dismarelda. He figures that her inspiration will prevent Katie from doing a silly belly dance or anything else. It works. Before she can lift her shirt, she begins to cry about her dead hamster. And Rockabelly floats over to Nate instead, and, in the middle of Katie’s crying, whips out his belly and dances. Nate is trapped in this awkward situation and also begins to cry while he belly dances.
Manjimutt: The Great Dog Escape: Episode 6
Last time, Manjimutt aided a federal investigation by collecting evidence from Charlie’s murders. But he was told his sentence was being shortened. The federal agent, Gonzales, tells the warden “that dog-faced man is an asset to society.” The warden passes it on to Manjimutt that they’re letting him free.
In the prison yard, Manjimutt thinks he overhears people talking about his release, but they say he’s being released during the conversation. The warden accidentally chose a dog-faced man for release. Not the human-faced dog he was supposed to. Manjmutt is screaming at the warden, the guard and his replacement while he’s hanging on the chainlink fence. While he’s crying out for his freedom, Charlie comes up behind him and asks what’s wrong. Manjimutt remembers that Charlie is going to kill him and screams so loud, it could even be heard from the dog-faced man’s boat.
