The Kaiju Arc (怪獣
Synopsis[]
The Apartment Complex Ghost[]
With the house repairs finished, Momo and Seiko thanks their friends for their help, with Okarun telling Momo that he was glad to have fixed it since he has come to see the Ayase house as his home as well, much to her happiness and tells him that can come by anytime. Later, after everyone leaves, Momo and Seiko rest in their house and are visited by the Enjoji Family who came to repair their house, only to find it already repaired and requested by Momo to keep quiet as her grandmother sleeps.
Momo supervising the Evil Eye in class.
While walking with Jiji to school, Momo learns from him that, despite letting the yokai slip out a few times, the Evil Eye has been on a good behavior ever since his deal with Okarun and suspects that he may also be enjoying himself. After Momo reassures Jiji to come see her if anything happens, Jiji asks Momo if she has a crush on anyone and teases her after she starts blushing. Momo then walks ahead of Jiji as he flirts with a few girls who approached him. However, after one of them offers him a cold drink, Momo becomes alarmed that receiving it will awaken the Evil Eye but is too late to stop Jiji as she turns around to see the Evil Eye already let out, albeit with Jiji's school uniform still intake. Momo then pulls the Evil Eye away from the girls as he starts to talk strange to them and ask that he turn back into Jiji, only to be refused by the yokai and having to stop him from running around the field where the soccer team are practicing after he mistook the ball for his grudge ball. With a vending machine sold out of hot drinks, Momo figures that she has no choice but to look after the Evil Eye while they are in class. During lunch, Momo hopes to find something hot to turn Jiji back but is told by the lunch lady that almost everything has been sold out. The two then eat together, with Momo teaching the Evil Eye how to eat with chopsticks instead of his hands, only for the yokai to refuse by throwing them away.
Later, Momo meets up with Miko and Muko who notice Jiji acting strange, prompting Momo to cover up the Evil Eye's behavior by telling them that Jiji is changing up his image. She then hears Muko-san speculating that Jiji is being possessed by the Apartment Complex Ghost that is in the form of a golden ball. Momo asks about the gold ball, thinking that they are talking about Okarun's kintama, and learns from Miko that there is a group chat talking about a golden ball at an apartment complex, much to her shock to see an image of it on Miko's phone.
Momo getting into an argument with the class rep of Class C.
In class, Okarun is approached by a classmate who seeks to know his secret to being charming to girls, having noticed him being around Momo and Aira from time to time, but denies being seen as such to them. The two are then interrupted by Momo storming into the classroom to inform Okarun that she has found his kintama. The class rep confronts Momo about her being a disturbance to her classmates and tells Okarun that he is under no obligation to listen to Momo. This leads to Momo getting into an argument with the class rep as she denies that she is forcing him to obey her. After taking note of Momo's talk to Okarun about a kintama, the classmate comes under the impression that dirty talk is the secret to being charming and cuts into Momo and the class rep's argument by making an inappropriate statement, only to annoy Momo in the process.
Momo and Okarun encounter the Apartment Complex Ghost.
Later, Momo and Okarun arrive at the apartment complex to retrieve the golden ball. Though Momo is still annoyed by the class rep arguing with her, Okarun tells her that he feels rather happy about the situation, explaining that nobody in class has ever approached him to have a conversation. Momo reasons that it is becomes he is cool and laughs at his response to her opinion. Unbeknownst to them, Okarun's classmate shadows them still intending to figure out the secret to dirty talk but accidently gets spotted by the two after his foot hits a can of paint. The classmate then finds himself mysteriously floating and sent flying towards Momo, much to his hope that he gets to lock lips with her in the process. After Okarun enters his Turbo Granny form to move her out the way, the two see the golden ball appearing and attempt to capture it. However, after getting up close to grab it, Okarun is knocked back and determines that the golden ball is not a specter but something with a physical body.
The Apartment Complex Ghost's true appearance.
Momo and Okarun chase after the golden ball as it starts to flee, with the classmate being ordered by Momo to look after their bags. The golden ball puts up a fight against the two and targets the classmate as well as after throwing him off the building. After being rescued by Momo, the classmate assists them by charging towards the golden ball. Though this ends up not having any effect on it after he passes through it, the classmate determines that the physical being is using a form of invisibility and informs them that they can see it from three sides. Using her physic powers, Momo swings herself around to get a clear image of the being and grabs it to give Okarun the perfect opportunity to charge at it with full force, causing it to crash out of the building. After thanking the classmate for using his knowledge of science fiction to figure out the being's transparency, Momo and Okarun look down in shock to see that the being is a kaiju.
Mecha vs. Kaiju[]
The kaiju turned gigantic to pursue Momo, Okarun, and Kinta.
Though the physical being is revealed, Momo sees that the kintama is nowhere in sight and prepares to go down and check while it's not moving. However, Okarun alerts Momo that the kaiju is awake and is now gigantic as its eye can be seen peeking through the hole it crashed from. The three run in panic as the kaiju, who is suspected of being an alien due to the sky being dark, chases after them and end up running into Aira and Jiji, much to their shock to see the giant kaiju in pursuit. While Jiji carries the classmate to Momo's house where they will regroup, Momo, Okarun, and Aira fight off the kaiju. After Aira takes a hit from the kaiju, Okarun rushes in to save her from taking another attack but ends using up his power in the process, giving the kaiju an opening to crush them between its hands as a result. Luckily, Momo uses her powers to pull them out of the way and carries them all the way to her house where the classmate and the Evil Eye, who swapped places with Jiji after the classmate previously sprayed his sweat on him on the way to the house, are at. With the Evil Eye unable to lend his assistance due to his promise with Okarun, and Seiko being away on business, Momo becomes conflicted on what they need to do to defeat the kaiju. Seeing the nanoskin glow from Momo leaning on a wall, Okarun figures out a way they can use it to defeat the kaiju.
The Ayase house reconstructed into a Buddha.
Inside the house, Okarun explains his plan to use the nanoskin the Ayase house is made out of to reshape it into something that can fight back against the kaiju. With Okarun unable to properly control the nanoskin, as the house's interior starts to become distorted, the classmate named Kinta Sakata chooses to take over and reconstruct the house into a giant robot. However, he becomes disappointed with the fact that it's given a Buddha design, due to Momo's part in visualizing something big during the process, but names it regardless, calling it the "Great Kinta Bodhisattva, Zeta Version". Although the reconstruction of the house becomes a success, Momo wonders how they can get it to move.
The Great Kinta faces the kaiju.
Desperate to have the mecha move before the kaiju arrives, Momo tells everyone to push random buttons to see what happens, resulting in Okarun being ejected out of the mecha, Momo accidently detonating the left arm, the Evil Eye breaking out from being irritated, and other functions activating. The Great Kinta is then kicked by the kaiju and takes damage from its restless attacks. Worried about Momo still being trapped inside, Okarun prepares to ask the Evil Eye for help to stop the kaiju. However, the Great Kinta's arm moves to stop the kaiju from stomping down on it, as Kinta figures out that he can control nanoskin and make the mecha move by visualizing its actions. After remodeling the Great Kinta into his image, Kinta gets ready to fight back against the kaiju as the mecha's pilot.
Momo and Aira landing the final blow to the kaiju.
Kinta manages to gain the upper hand in his battle against the kaiju but soon loses ground after the kaiju turns invisible to attack the Great Kinta with surprise attacks, resulting in it taking heavy damage as it lies on the ground. Kinta is recommended by Okarun to pull the eject level but becomes unable to reach it due to the airbags getting in the way, leading to him panicking as the kaiju continues to destroy the mecha with him still inside. However, after applying their powers to the mecha, Momo and Aira manage to stop the kaiju from attacking and uncover its presence while still invisible. No longer wanting Kinta to pilot, due to his control making them feel sick, Momo and Aira take over by further applying their powers to the mecha and finishes it off with a devastating powerbomb.
The Pretty Alien Girl[]
With the kaiju defeated, the group are sent out of Empty Space and back to reality, though this results in the Great Kinta being seen by the public in the city. Momo then takes action by moving the mecha back to her residential area and reverting it back into her house, which ends up causing her and Aira to run out of the living room feeling sick, while Kinta becomes overjoyed that he got the chance to pilot a mecha.
The alien girl Bamora revealed inside the kaiju.
Okarun and Jiji carries the kaiju back to the Ayase residence and are met by Kinta who berates them for arriving late. Wanting an explanation about the events that had recently occurred, Kinta is informed by Okarun that he and his friends are searching for a kintama that draws the attention of aliens and spirits and assumes that the fate of the world depends on the golden ball, only for Okarun to deny this. Okarun checks the inside of the kaiju's mouth to look for the kintama and becomes shocked to find something inside it, along with a zipper running along the kaiju's body as well. After unzipping it, the kaiju reveals an alien girl inside who. after waking up, kisses Okarun after making eye contact with him, much to Momo's shock to see after coming outside.
Momo immediately attacks the alien girl feeling angry and figures out that she is the kaiju after finding it open. Okarun tries calm Momo down, telling her that he does not believe that the alien girl has any intentions to continue fighting them and that they need to ask her about the kintama. Momo thinks that Okarun is only being nice to the alien girl because she kissed him and angrily walks back inside the house after Okarun mentions her being pretty as he tries to deny her allegation. With the alien girl unable to speak their language, Okarun, Jiji, and Kinta visit Mr. Mantis Shrimp in hopes that he can translate for her. Mr. Mantis Shrimp tells them that he has never seen an alien like her before but gives her a translator in the form of a funny nose, mustache, and glasses disguise. Though the translator could only make out a few of her words, Okarun learns from the alien girl that her name is Bamora and that she has been looking to find a powerful person to fight and marry if she were to lose to them, which ends up being him. Despite Kinta trying to clarify to Bamora that he is the one who defeated her, since he was the one who piloted the Great Kinta during their battle, Bamora continues to accept Okarun as the one she wants to marry after coming in to hug him. While he does not have a translator for Okarun to use, Mr. Mantis Shrimp offers to later tinker with the translator he has so that it can fully translate for Bamora and allow him to have a proper conversation.
Bamora and Kinta joining the Family for dinner.
Later, Bamora joins the group, along with the Turbo Granny and Seiko who had returned from work, for dinner, leading to Aira wondering as to why this is given that she was previously their enemy. Okarun explains that he intends on clearing the misunderstanding to her once Mr. Mantis Shrimp has the translator ready and informs Momo and Aira of Bamora's reason for fighting them. The two become shocked to hear that she has chosen Okarun as her husband after he beat her in a fight and claim themselves as the victors, having been the ones to pilot the mecha to finish her off. They also berate Kinta as he tries to take credit. Seeing Okarun being friendly with Bamora by offering her more takoyaki, Momo angrily gets up to sit next to Okarun and scowls at Bamora, prompting the alien girl to scowl right back at her but with a happy expression.
Shortly after, Momo comes down with a stomachache from eating too much and blames it on Okarun. While they are still unsure where the kintama is as long as Bamora can't understand them, Momo tells Okarun that she does not trust her, as she believes that Bamora is waiting for another chance to attack them, and to not let his guard down around her, with him being kissed by her earlier warranting cause for concern. Okarun tries to deny this but is doubted by Momo as he tries avoiding making eye contact with her and is called out by Jiji to come outside to inspect Bamora's kaiju suit after being intrigued by it. Jiji then enters the suit after having Bamora inadvertently give him permission to wear it and becomes amazed by its HUD, much to Bamora's worry to have had this happen.
The Serpo defeated by a suited alien.
Meanwhile, the Serpo are attacked and eliminated by an unknown threat wearing a suit who later receives a transmission from Bamora's suit after it was worn by Jiji.
