Scroll 13: Moustache and Engagement Ring
Not much to say here. Just that this episode is Maekawa’s second contribution to the series. I also got a better quality subbed video to use for screenshots (though a lot of them will look worse than my other screenshots (So I’ll try not to rely on them, unless I absolutely have to). With that said, on with the review.
We begin with Yosuke’s window cleaning service being asked to manage a bakery (Look, just go with it, okay?). The manager, Mr. Nakata, has a hot date today and needs someone to manage the store and give out 100 free cookie bags to the first 100 customers. As he leaves, Yosuke’s boss foists all responsibility onto him, as she’s also going on a hot date (surprisingly, the two don’t turn out to be seeing each other) At the Centipede, Chuzoobo introduces the “Higerappa plan”, which is to make humans into more lower ranked ninjas like the Magerappas. To which Isshu responds with my opinion on the last episode.
(In the sub I watched to review the episode, he says “Boring. Even if it’s for “that”, the plan just lacks zest.”) Chuzoobo is pissed at what he said, until Tau Zant steps in to authorise the plan.
After a scene of Oboro working on a new Karakuri Ball, we see Yosuke calling Kouta for help. He says he’s busy helping out the old folks, but points out that Nanami is off until 3. One jump cut later, Nanami is helping out in the bakery instead of shopping (nice to see she has her priorities straight). Yosuke and Nanami manage to misplace the last bag of cookies, before finding a cookie bag on Nakata’s desk and giving that away. Elsewhere, a man is accosted by Jakanja’s latest monster, Dancing Ninja Higenamezukin.
As Yosuke and Nanami are closing up, Nakata returns, having forgotten his birthday present for his girlfriend: an engagement ring he made himself that he put in a bag of cookies (wait for it). It’s at this point our duo of amateur bakers find that last bag of cookies under the table (should’ve checked there first). Yosuke then sees how much Nakata wanted to propose to his girlfriend with that ring, he drags Nanami along to help chase down the last three customers, a trio of high school girls. Elsewhere, Higenamezukin’s MO is revealed: He gives people atrocious moustaches (hige = moustache) (Is it bad I think this guy is the best monster so far? Purely for how silly his gimmick is?)
Yosuke find and cross off the first girl in the park, who points them in the direction of the second girl at the arcade, who they also cross off (as Yosuke laments, why can’t the three of them stick together?) In the midst of this, they run into Ikkou and Isshu, basically telling them “Do you mind? We’ve kind of got our own problem right now.” As the two sit in a park, Yosuke tells Nanami that the reason he’s going along with this search is because Nakata reminds him of a koala: just as Nakata only wants to give his girlfriend that ring, koalas only want to eat bamboo (which makes no sense, but is hilarious to hear). This causes Nanami to tell Hase (her manager) to shove it and join him in redoubling the search (while also pointing out that its pandas who eat only bamboo. Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves). They eventually find the girl… only for her to be approached by Higenamezukin, who turns her into another Higerappa. And then the second part of the name comes in, when the people start to act like Magerappa.
Kouta, now done with his job, gets called in to help with the Jakanja (and told of the new Karakuri Ball as we get a shot of Hurricane Leon being scanned). The Hurricanegers are outmatched by the Higerappas (especially since Higenamezukin gave them Magerappa weapons), so they use a substitution technique to escape and take the battle to Higenamezukin, with Nanami declaring she won’t let him get in the way of “Koala-san’s proposal plan” (much to Kouta’s understandable confusion). They fight Higenamezukin set to this song
Yosuke debuts his new ability, Chou Ninpo: Maboroshi Henge, which allows him to turn into anything, in this case a toy plane (I’d talk about how op this ability is, but I’m instead going to ask where all that extra weight goes? He must be a very dense toy plane). They then finish of Higenamezukin with the Sonic Gadget, which gets countered by reviving the monster as a giant. Senpuujin is formed, but before they can finish their foe with the Sword Slasher, the Gouraigers show up to disrupt them, combining into Gouraijin and summoning the Plant Axe (You’d think the Hayate Way would’ve figured out a way to regain control of it by now) Ikkou tells the Hurricanegers they should’ve just continued their search (Um, they did. That’s how they ended up here), before debuting a new weapon combo.
(Don’t ask how a weapon built for Senpuujin has compatibility with a weapon built for Gouraijin. I can’t explain it). It’s at this point the new Karakuri Ball is completed, with Kouta receiving the Shinobi Medal for Karakuri Ball 05: Gatling Leo (yes, Kyuranger was not the first series with two lion based Mecha. I’m shocked too)
Gatling Leo destroys Higenamezukin, Gouraijin leaves and Chuzoobo gets both failed and berated for failing. Yosuke and Nanami resolve the mixup and get the ring back to Nakata just as his girlfriend is about to break up with him. The happy couple reconcile, Yosuke and Kouta celebrate a job well done (just going to show that as long as you fix your screwup, you will face no consequences) and Nanami gets abducted by Hase, who is already an hour behind schedule as the episode ends. Next time, Yosuke gets turned into a child. All this and more on Scroll 14: Crybaby and Candy.
Final thoughts: A much stronger effort than the last episode. This plot managed to mix being funny and being sappy really well. And as stated, Higenamezukin is my favourite monster so far. What’s yours (if you have one)? Let me know.
