Manjimutt: Part 5
Nate and Whisper welcome Manjimutt back to freedom after was arrested in the previous episode for impersonating a fashion photographer. While he was in his cell, Manjimutt decided he would move on and become a pastry chef. Whisper thinks their criminal friend must want to innovate the art of baking by combining art and science, but a dream sequence reveals that Manjimutt envisions himself working in a patisserie where beautiful young women fawn over him for his baking ability. When the screen returns to reality, Manjimutt wears a drooling realistic dog face.
Manjimutt somehow snags a job as an apprentice under a real pastry chef and is tasked with measuring out exactly two ounces of sugar, but the smells of the baked goods cause him to take on his drooling dog face again. And even when he looks normal for him, he has trouble keeping his hands of the fresh-baked cream puffs he can smell. He transforms more and more into a sweaty, dog-faced weirdo while telling himself, “I am not an animal.” While he was willing himself from eating the creampuffs and definitely not weighing out sugar, the pastry chef called the police who promptly take Manjimutt into custody again.
Yo-Kai Blazion
Nate’s class is participating in their annual day of service. The class has been divided up into groups and assigned to a community service project. The hardest task is cleaning up trash in the park, so Bear, Eddie and Nate all scoff when their teacher asks if anyone wants to volunteer to do it. Then a shadowy figure emerges from behind a vending machine and lays a hand on Nate, disappearing in a flash of flame and firing him up to take on any task, even park clean-up. Despite his objection seconds earlier, Nate volunteers his group to clean the park with literal fire in his eyes. Bear and Eddie don’t care for this change of attitude, but Katie is impressed by Nates sudden enthusiasm. Nate shouts, “I never have and never will back down from a challenge!” to demonstrate it.
Nate volunteers for every task his teacher can think of, and declares that he’ll do everything. While Nate aggressively sweeps the sidewalk, Bear, Eddie, Katie and eventually Whisper decide that something must be weird with their friend. Only Whisper can see, however, that Nate is being trailed by a lion-headed yo-kai with a blazing mane and eyebrows whose name he just can’t remember. When Whisper calls the new yo-kai out, he jumps from Nate to Eddie. Eddie now has all of Nate’s enthusiasm for clean-up from earlier, but Nate’s mind is totally clear again. Whisper takes the time to look up the name of this hard-working yo-kai, Blazion, who enspirits people and makes them feel “ super motivated and overly competitive.” The possession causes such laser focus that Nate can’t remember being enspirited at all, and he has to learn about all the chores he volunteered for from Bear. Nate takes responsibility for Blazion’s damage and calls on Hungramps to negotiate with the competitive yo-kai.
Blazion doesn’t speak English, but Hungramps relates that he says, “lazy loafers, shirkers and malingerers get nowhere in life.” Nate suggests that people need a balance between hard work and leisure, but Blazion isn’t interested in a healthy balance and jumps from Eddie to Katie. Hungramps couldn’t talk Blazion down, so Nate asks Happierre to try to calm Katie down. Happierre does it no problem. Blazion himself even looks a little blissful for a second before he snaps out of it. But calm, happy Katie and Happierre’s influence give Blazion a pair of heart eyes and the ability to hear Nate out. They shake on their reconciliation, and Blazion palms Nate his medal.
Hungramps, Whisper, Nate, Happierre and Blazion all laugh in relief that everything worked out until Nate’s teacher shows up excited about playing dodgeball. Blazion says he didn’t even need to inspirit him. He just seems to think a bit of competition is a good way to unwind on a day of service.
Yo-Kai Negatibuzz
Nate has a severe toothache and swollen face, so his mom decides they have to get him to a dentist as soon as possible. Nate doesn’t like that idea, but she assures him there’s nothing to be afraid of. Bear and Eddie even let Nate know that Dr. Smiles is a great dentist. “Sometimes he even lets you play video games while he works on your teeth.”
When Nate and Whisper are walking to the office from school, Nate says everyone made him feel much better about the appointment, but that changes when he sits in the chair. The dentist himself looks scared. He’s not confident about what he needs to do, and freaks out when Nate opens his mouth. He admits to his patient that “teeth make [him] nervous.” Lucky for Dr. Smiles, Nate realizes there’s something happening to his self-confidence and that it’s definitely a yo-kai. It’s specifically a hooded mosquito named Negatibuzz who gives people terrible anxiety.
Dr.Smiles asks if Nate can just go home, but Nate pushes back and asks him to do his job, but the dentist cowers in the corner, finally telling Nate, “ I’m a terrible dentist. You shouldn’t have come here. This is a pit of despair.”
Nate’s face won’t fix itself, so he has to get rid of Negatibuzz, but he has some trouble deciding which of his friends to call. Whisper has to remind him of Blazion, whose trouble was making people recklessly overconfident before they befriended him. The brave yo-kai hops right in, and the inferno of Dr. Smiles reinvigorated passion for dentistry scares Negatibuzz off. Dr. Smiles has more than enough energy to fix Nate’s tooth, screaming, “that which does not kill us makes us stronger,” over the sound of drilling.
The Sleepover
Bear and Eddie are sleeping over at Nate’s house. After they eat dinner, Nate’s mom asks if they boys are going to camp out in Nate’s room, but Nate responds that there’s more room for all of them in the living room. Where the tv is. Nate and Eddie know something Bear doesn’t though, so Eddie explains he used his technological skills to disable the parental locks get the “After Hours channel” on the tv. Whisper and Jibanyan are watching through a crack in the door and learning that the boys are going to watch “a forbidden late-night program for adults only” that’s “inappropriate for boys their age.” Whisper is concerned about this behavior as Nate’s self-appointed caretaker, but Jibanyan wants to watch very badly.
Later, in the middle of the night when the house is quiet, the boys make their move. They find the After Hours channel, and watch a few seconds of girls wearing cat ears, paws and bathing suits playing with water before the tv turns to a cooking show by itself. Bear blames Nate, and takes the remote to change the channel back, but the cooking show returns anyway. Whisper pulls Nate aside and tells him this is the sign of a mischievous yo-kai.And this time, it isn’t Jibanyan because he loves cat girls. He even says that, when they find who’s changing the channel, he’ll “crush him like a bug.”
Nate scans the room with the yo-kai watch, and discovers Signibble, a sharp-toothed gremlin in black and yellow clothes who manipulates electricity. When Nate starts digging in his pocket for yo-kai medals, Jibanyan takes charge and threatens Signibble to his face. Jibanyan gets zapped when he just tries to punch Signibble like a truck, so he resorts to trying to vacuum the offender up. As soon as Nate gets the vacuum under control, his parents burst into the room, woken by the noise Jibanyan was making. Before Nate can explain why he must have been vacuuming at 1 a.m., the tv flicks on, courtesy of Signibble, and reveals “All-Night Party” on the After Hours channel. Every human in the room is stunned for a moment, but Nate’s mom recovers the soonest and is annoyed. She unplugs the tv, and send the boys to sleep.
In the end, they’re all glad they got to sneak however much of the show they did. But Nate has to check with Jibanyan about Whisper, who disappeared. Between the fight with Signibble and getting caught by Nate’s parents, nobody noticed that Jibanyan vacuumed Whisper up or that he’s still in the vacuum.
