==Komasan in the City: Here’s Komajiro==

[[Komasan]] is writing home to his mother about his disappointing experiences in Springdale. He narrates to her that he now just wants to come home. Komasan’s depression is interrupted by the arrival of his brother, Komajiro, who was inspired to follow Komasan into the city. [[Komajiro]] even assumes that his big brother is an expert at urban living because he missed the narration from earlier. The elder Koma puts on a brave face and promises to guide his brother despite his uncertainty with everything in the city. Including escalators. The brother find themselves in front of an escalator and Komasan begins to explain that “these moving stairs” can give a yo-kai motion sickness, but then Komajiro points out a sign that names and gives a very basic warning about what not to do on an escalator. Komasan is still pretending to be an expert despite only just learning the name of the machine, and he begins to instruct Komajiro on how to board the steps. He takes a very long time because he’s afraid to misstep and get his rhythm wrong. He takes so long that his little sibling strides past him without notice and calls him up from halfway up the escalator. Komajiro took to city life so quickly, Komasan isn’t sure if his little brother is the same as he always was.

It’s still the middle of the night, so the four walk home and go back to sleep. Robonyan even takes care of himself, shrinking to the size of an action figure for convenience, and he can just plug himself right back into the normal outlets in Nate’s house.The next morning, [[Nate’s mom]] wants to know how he used more than 5000 watt-hours of electricity at midnight, more than there’s even room for on the chart she has on her phone. Nate and Whisper figure out right away Robonyan sucked up all the juice, but they turn around and he’s sinking into a time portal in the floor and saying, “I’ll be back,” as he flicks his medal over to Nate and disappears. In the end, Nate and Whisper raise Jibanyan’s spirits by deciding he is actually better than Robonyan because he doesn’t cost any extra on the electric bill. And the episode closes out on a shot of Jibanyan’s glowing yellow but non-robotic eyes.
