The Sun Roars, Zura! Episode 3; The Interrogation Room
It’s Komasan’s turn to try interrogation. There’s a perp at the station who’s a hardcore pickpocket. All they need is to have him confess, but he’s a brick wall as far as normal techniques are concerned. Whisper has a plan though: interrogate him until he’s starving and then trade food for a confession. The police even have a specially made bowl of katsudon for the suspect. Komasan presents the bowl to Mr. Slick and urges him to eat it, but Slick is interrupted by Komasan’s growling stomach. And Komasan interrupts the meal over and over again by being too hungry himself. His desires as a hungry cat ghost outweigh his police responsibilities, so he acts so strangely about the food, Mr. Slick confesses to end the conversation.
Yo-kai Lie-in Heart
Summer break is nearly over and Keita hasn’t done any of his homework. He decides he needs to enlist the help of his bookish friend Kanchi, who definitely did all the homework already. Except Kanchi’s family turns out to be on vacation and unreachable. So Keita has to settle on getting help from Kuma.
But when Keita sees Kuma, he hasn’t done the homework either and refuses to start. Kuma just wants to sit stoically until the time to start is right even though there’s only two days to do it all. Keita knows this is extreme, so he decides a yo-kai is at fault. The yo-kai behind Kuma’s perfectionism is a calm-faced lion with five burning tails called Lie-in Heart. Keita pleads with the lion, but he swears it still isn’t the right time to start. Lie-in Heart thinks that Kuma must first master every level of the basics before starting this homework, but he doesn’t have Kuma doing anything. Keita realizes he knows somebody the exact opposite of this guy, Blazion. He’s another lion who’s too eager to get things done. Kuma is fired up about homework at first, but returns to his thoughtful position before he can start anything. When Lie- in Heart explains his samurai-like philosophy, Blazion begins to cry because he understands and even claims to agree with the cooler lion.
Whisper decides the only way to get through this is to prepare. They clean the room and prepare all the tools, which makes Keita tired. So it becomes time for a nap. It’s sunset when they wake up, but they also have to eat dinner. The only time they’re going to be adequately prepared is on the final day of the break. Keita is getting ready to leave that morning, but he sees Lie-in Heart walking the street through his window, so he assumes Kuma must be free to do homework, but they have to do it all that day. And Keita decides not to do it at all. Instead he summons So-Sorree to back him up at school. And being so sorry doesn’t get him off the hook.
Cool Yo-kai Showdown!
All the girls in class are fawning over Kanchi and Kuma being so cool for some reason. They were asked to be reader models for a magazine, and they appear in an issue of a magazine. Later, Keita asks Whisper what a reader model is. They’re models who are also readers of the magazine. But Keita figures, if his friends can do it, he can and should too. He quizzes Whisper on if there are yo-kai that can make him a reader model or at least cool enough to become one on his own. Whisper swears up and down there’s no such yo-kai, but Kyuubi shows up claiming to be exactly that. More than that, he says he is the most popular yo- kai. But Dandoodle disagrees, and he has a group of heart-eyed girls backing him up.
When Keita explains he wants to become a reader model, Kyuubi and Dandoodle turn in into a challenge between them. Kyuubi wants Keita to be cool and beautiful, but Dandoodle wants him to understand girls’ hearts. The yo-kai spot a young girl coming down the path and tell Keita to watch them have a wooing contest. Kyuubi says the girl will love it if Keita protects her from a random creep walking toward her on the path. It’s Manjimutt. And he is so crazed and lonely, he chases the little girl demanding to be attended to, grabbing her wrist. Kyuubi pushes Keita in to save the girl, but he’s clueless. All he can do is repeat what his foxy mentor says. And it works, even though his delivery isn’t so strong. The girl is grateful for her savior, and Kyuubi’s feeling good about his coaching, but Dandoodle counters by summoning a kitten out of nowhere for Keita to pick up and claim to be looking for. And the girl asks if he wants to look for the owner together. She gives him her phone number and walks away with a serious blush on her cheeks.
Kyuubi wipes that girl’s memory with a snap of his fingers and asks Keita if that’s the kind of lady’s man he wants to be all the time. But he reminds his yo-kai pals he just wanted to be a model. But just then, a photographer approaches Keita asking him to be just that. Obviously, both pretty boys take credit for the accidental success. When the magazine comes out, Whisper and Jibanyan are reading Keita’s pages but not looking too happy about it. Because he was photographed for Cat Love magazine, and his face didn’t make it into the picture.
